Moved to evil: a quranic explanation


Why and how is mankind moved to think evil and then to do evil? 
Sura 2
(100) And when there came unto them an apostle from God, confirming that scripture which was with them, some of those to whom the scriptures were given cast the book of God behind their backs, as if they knew it not: (101) and they followed the device which the devils devised against the kingdom of Solomon, and Solomon was not an unbeliever; but the devils believed not; they taught men sorcery, and that which was sent down to the two angels at Babel, Hárút and Márút; yet those two taught no man until they had said, Verily we are a temptation, therefore be not an unbeliever. 

So men learned from those two a charm by which they might cause division between a man and his wife; but they hurt none thereby, unless by God’s permission, and they learned that which would hurt them, and not profit them; and yet they knew that he who bought that art should have no part in the life to come, and woful is the price for which they have sold their souls, if they knew it. (102) But if they had believed, and feared God, verily the reward they would have had from God would have been better, if they had known it. 

Sura 2 
(165) Now in the creation of heaven and earth, and  the vicissitude of night and day, and in the ship which saileth in the sea, laden with what is profitable for mankind, and in the rain water which God sendeth from heaven, quickening thereby the dead earth, and replenishing the same with all sorts of cattle, and in the change of winds, and the clouds that are compelled to do service between heaven and earth, are signs to people of understanding: (166) yet some men take idols beside God, and love them as with the love due to God; but the true believers are more fervent in love towards God. 

Oh, that they who act unjustly did perceive, when they behold their punishment, that all power belongeth unto God, and that he is severe in punishing. (167) When those who have been followed shall separate themselves from their followers, and shall see the punishment, and the cords of relation between them shall be cut in sunder; (168) the followers shall say, If we could return to life, we would separate ourselves from them, as they have now separated themselves from us. So God will show them their works; they shall sigh grievously, and shall not come forth from the fire of hell. 

Analysis 
S2(165) sets the context and the rest of the verses speaks of those who worshipped other gods besides the true God. The other gods free themselves of their worshippers [S2(167)]. Those who did worship these other gods are left with regret as they face the true God’s punishment [S2(168)].
But earlier in the same surah we are told that a party of the people of the book threw away the book of God [S2(100)]. These people followed the evil ones. And these evil ones told those people that they were sent to test them before actually doing so. But none of this evil would have taken place except by the true God’s permission [S2(101)].
Then all the fault is laid on those who were moved to evil. Allah declares itself free of all responsibility even though it was the mastermind behind it all. 

What logic is there in this belief?

Sura 34, yet another tall tale

Sura 34 This surat starts off with saying that Allah knows it all as in verses 1 and 2. And then it goes on to show that It knows less than nothing. In an earlier surat 27 Solomon talked with birds and ants. Here the wind is obedient to him. Jinns work for him, implying of course that Solomon could converse with them. Disobedience was punishable by being burnt. And notice how he dies. Two quranic translations are quoted. The 2nd with it's commentary to show a muslim's understanding of the tale being considered. A biblical passage is quoted within the commentary to enhance its authenticity. The stormy winds and waves were obedient to Jesus.  Another plagiarism by Muhammad just gone wrong.The mad man is called a prophet in surat 33(1). But what exactly is his prophecy? Nothing at all. Islam is futile deceit, not a religion. https://archive.org/details/TheNobleQuranHilaliMuhsinKhan/page/n5/mode/2up Sura 34 In the Name of Allah the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 1. All th...

Sodomy, they became fools

Romans 1 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,… 26 For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%201&version=WEB THE MOHAMMEDAN MISSIONARY PROBLEM. BY THE Rev. HENEY H. JESSUP, D.D., “In the city of Hamath, in Northern Syria, the Christian population, even to this day, are afraid to allow their boys from ten to fourteen years of age to appear in the streets after sunset, lest they be carried off by the Moslems as victims of the horrible practice of Sodomy. Mohammadan pashas surround themselves with fair-faced boys, nominally scribes and pages, when in reality their object is of entirely another character. A young En...

The constitution of Medina by the lettered Muhammad

Image
Muhammad was lying when he announced himself as one who could neither read nor write. The covenant he wrote proves that he was untrustworthy. Definitely not a prophet. Surah 7 (158) who shall follow the apostle, the illiterate prophet, whom they shall find written down with them in the law and the gospel: he will command them that which is just, and will forbid them that which is evil, and will allow them as lawful the good things which were before forbidden, and will prohibit those which are bad; and he will ease them of their heavy burden, and of the yokes which were upon them. And those who believe in him, and honour him, and assist him, and follow the light, which hath been sent down with him, shall be happy. (159) Say, O men, Verily I am the messenger of God unto you all: unto him belongeth the kingdom of heaven and earth; there is no God but he; he giveth life, and he causeth to die. Believe therefore in God and his apostle, the illiterate prophet, who believeth in God and hi...

Wine : Allah Contradicts Itself

Image
https://amzn.asia/d/dCvPeny   Do Not Drink Wine Or Do Drink Wine Allah contradicts Itself.  Drinking wine on earth is great sin but not in Allah’s paradise.  Surah 2 (218) They will ask thee concerning wine and lots: Answer, In both there is great sin, and also some things of use unto men; but their sinfulness is greater than their use. They will ask thee also what they shall bestow in alms: (219) Answer, What ye have to spare. Thus God showeth his signs unto you, that peradventure ye might serious ly think of this present world, and of the next  Analysis  Contradiction follows Surah 16 (67) God sendeth down water from heaven, and causeth the earth to revive after it hath been dead. Verily herein is a sign of the resurrection unto people who hearken. (68) Ye have also in cattle an example of instruction: we give you to drink of that which is in their bellies; a liquor between digested dregs and blood, namely, pure milk, which is swallowed  with pleasure ...

Animals, birds and etc praise Allah

All will be gathered in the end to give an account of themselves to Allah. Meaning that all living organisms are responsible for their actions. Therefore all must have a conscience, a sense of right and wrong. That implies that all these animals and birds and whatnot can do otherwise than their nature. An exercise in futility! Absolute madness! Will a virus answer as to its efficiency?   Sura 6  (37) There is no kind of beast on earth, nor fowl which flieth with its wings, but the same is a people like unto you : we have not omitted anything in the book of our decrees: then unto their Lord shall they return. (38) They who accuse our signs of falsehood are deaf and dumb, walking in darkness: God will lead into error whom he pleaseth, and whom he pleaseth he will put in the right way?  Sura 6  (58) With him are the keys of the secret things; none knoweth them besides himself: he knoweth that which is on the dry land and in the sea: there falleth no leaf but he...

Hamas and the “Palestinian Nakba”.

Image
https://qr.ae/pKP2Dr Hamas has denied murdering , bombing, and etc. So why should we trust them? We don’t. We just look at the pictures of the attack THEY posted. https://qr.ae/pKP2B5 The “Palestinian Nakba” is a hoax and here is the proof. “The Nakba” is fake Arab propaganda. The so-called “Palestinians” were not forced out of Israel by the Jews in 1948. They left voluntarily and at the instruction of Arab leaders so that the combined armies of five Arab countries could sweep in and murder all the Jews on the very first day of Israel’s existence. Today’s “Palestinians” are descendants of those who abandoned Israel and went to the sidelines expecting to return and pick the bones of dead Jews and steal their property, homes, and businesses. Except the Jews won. Oops! Israel won that war. And overcame every Arab genocidal attack since. The “Palestinians” sided with the losers, and have NO RIGHTS to return and no claim to any part of Israel. Today’s “Palestinians” are the descendants of t...

Allah's pointless true nature

It's destruction and more destruction and just more destruction. Every township including Muslim townships will be destroyed or punished before the Day of Resurrection S17(60). When the Quran describes Allah as merciful, it's obviously lying. Utter pointlessness of Islam ! Sura 6 (6) Do they not consider how many generations we have destroyed before them? We had established them in the earth in a manner wherein we have not established you; we sent the heaven to rain abundantly upon them, and we gave them rivers which flowed under their feet: yet we destroyed them in their sins, and raised up other generations after them. (130) O company of genii and men, did not messengers from among yourselves come unto you, rehearsing my signs unto you, and forewarning you of the meeting of this your day? They shall answer, We bear witness against ourselves: the present life deceived them: and they shall bear witness against themselves that they were  unbelievers. (131) This hath been...

Never happened at the flood

Another untrustworthy account.  Sura 11 (37) And it was revealed unto Noah, saying, Verily none of thy people shall believe, except he who hath already believed; be not therefore grieved for that which they are doing. (38) But make an ark in our presence, according to the form and dimensions which we have revealed unto thee; and speak not unto me in behalf of those who have acted unjustly, for they are doomed to be drowned. (39) And he built the ark; and so often as a company of his people passed by him they derided him; but he said, Though ye scoff at us now, we will scoff at you hereafter as ye scoff at us; (40) and ye shall surely know on whom a punishment shall be inflicted, which shall cover him with shame, and on whom a lasting punishment shall fall. Thus were they employed until our sentence was put in execution and the oven poured forth water. And we said unto Noah, Carry into the ark of every species of animals one pair; and thy family (except him on whom a previous s...

Night journey: a complete lie

Muhammad is supposed to have been taken by Allah to the farthest mosque. This mosque is said, by muslim scholars, to be the temple of Solomon in Jerusalem. He was taken there so that Allah might show him some of its signs, so says the verse. The only problem is that the said temple was destroyed by the Roman Emperor Titus in AD 70. There was nothing to actually see. So what signs did the mad prophet see? Nothing! The bible in the book of Luke records the prophecy of its destruction. Whenever a biblical prophet saw a vision or was taken somewhere, a whole lot of descriptions are given and recorded.The quran records nothing. This is another proof of the quranic lie. Sura 17  IN the name of the merciful and compassionate God. Celebrated be the praises of Him who took His servant a journey by night from the Sacred Mosque (The Kaabah at Mecca) to the Remote Mosque (The Temple at Jerusalem), the precinct of which we have blessed, to show him of our signs! verily, He both hears and looks....

Contradictions in Al-quran

    https://a.co/d/gAY0gGH                 The 1st edition was titled ‘Lies In Al-Quran’. A 3 books in 1 deal and is now archived. This updated 2nd edition has 10 more chapters. Introduction Sura 2 (255) God! there is no God but he; the living, the self-subsisting: neither slumber nor sleep seizeth him; to him belongeth whatsoever is in heaven, and on earth. Who is he that can intercede with him, but through his good pleasure? He knoweth that which is past, and that which is to come unto them, and they shall not comprehend anything of his knowledge, but so far as he pleaseth. His throne is extended over heaven and earth, and the preservation of both is no burden unto him. He is the high, the mighty. Sura 14 (4) We have sent no apostle but with the language of his people, that he might declare their duty plainly unto them; for God causeth to err whom he pleaseth, and directeth whom he pleaseth; and he is the mighty, the wise. Analysis Acc...
