Distorted Time Perception. Dyschronometria.
https://a.co/d/7FDZFfp
Almost 1400 years before Jesus was Moses. Islamic calendar starts from Muhammad’s Hijrah which was in 622 A.D. The following provides evidence of Muhammad’s distorted time perception. Dyschronometria. Maulana Muhammad Ali in his commentary of his English translation of Al-quran(1917) unknowingly provides confirmation of it.

A brief list of instances of distorted time perception follows. A complete listing would require a book.
Surah 2
Instance #1
Appurtenant To Moses
(39) O children of Israel, remember my favour wherewith I have favoured you; and perform your covenant with me, and I will perform my covenant with you; and revere me:
Immediate To Muhammad’s Present.
Chronological disorder in the midst of the verses.
(40) and believe in the revelation which I have sent down, confirming that which is with you, and be not the first who believe not therein, neither exchange my signs for a small price; and fear me
(41) Clothe not the truth with vanity, neither conceal the truth against your own knowledge;
(42) observe the stated times of prayer, and pay your legal alms, and bow down yourselves with those who bow down.
Instance #2
Appurtenant To Moses
(82) Remember also, when we accepted the covenant of the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall not worship any other except God, and ye shall show kindness to your parents and kindred, and to orphans, and to the poor, and speak that which is good unto men, and be constant at prayer, and give alms. Afterwards ye turned back, except a few of you, and retired afar off.
Immediate To Muhammad’s Present
The reference here is to the important treaty of mutual obligation in writing which the Holy Prophet entered into with the Jews when he settled at Medina. (Commentary by Maulana Muhammad Ali )
(83) And when we accepted your covenant, saying, You shall not shed your brother’s blood, nor dispossess one another of your habitations; then ye confirmed it, and were witnesses thereto.
(84) Afterwards ye were they who slew one another, and turned several of your brethren out of their houses, mutually assisting each other against them with injustice and enmity; but if they come as captives unto you, ye redeem them: yet it is equally unlawful for you to dispossess them. Do ye therefore believe in part of the book of the law, and reject other part thereof? But whoso among you doth this, shall have no other reward than shame in this life, and on the day of resurrection they shall be sent to a most grievous punishment; for God is not regardless of that which ye do.
(85) These are they who have purchased this present life, at the price of that which is to come; wherefore their punishment shall not be mitigated, neither shall they be helped.
Instance #3
(a)Appurtenant To Moses
(86) We formerly delivered the book of the law unto Moses, and caused apostles to succeed him,
(b)Appurtenant To Jesus
and gave evident miracles to Jesus the son of Mary, and strengthened him with the holy spirit.
Immediate To Muhammad’s Present
The change of tense from the past to the preterite is an allusion to the attempts which were then being made on the life of the Holy Prophet. (Commentary by Maulana Muhammad Ali)
Do ye therefore, whenever an apostle cometh unto you with that which your souls desire not, proudly reject him, and accuse some of imposture, and slay others?
(87) The Jews say, Our hearts are uncircumcised: but God hath cursed them with their infidelity; therefore few shall believe.
(88) And when a book came unto them from God, confirming the scriptures which were with them, although they had before prayed for assistance against those who believed not, yet when that came unto them which they knew to be from God, they would not believe therein: therefore the curse of God shall be on the infidels.
(89) For a vile price have they sold their souls, that they should not believe in that which God hath sent down; out of envy, because God sendeth down his favours to such of his servants as he pleaseth: therefore they brought on themselves indignation on indignation; and the unbelievers shall suffer an ignominious punishment.
(90) When one saith unto them, Believe in that which God hath sent down; they answer, We believe in that which hath been sent down unto us: and they reject what hath been revealed since, although it be the truth, confirming that which is with them.
Instance #4
Appurtenant To Moses
Say, Why therefore have ye slain the prophets of God in times past, if ye be true believers?
(91) Moses formerly came unto you with evident signs, but ye afterwards took the calf for your god and did wickedly.
(92) And when we accepted your covenant, and lifted the mountain of Sinai over you, saying, Receive the law which we have given you, with a resolution to perform it, and hear; they said, We have heard, and have rebelled: and they were made to drink down the calf into their hearts for their unbelief. Say, A grievous thing hath your faith commanded you, if ye be true believers?
Immediate To Muhammad’s Present
(93) Say, If the future mansion with God be prepared peculiarly for you, exclusive of the rest of mankind, wish for death, if ye say truth;
(94) but they will never wish for it, because of that which their hands have sent before them; God knoweth the wicked-doers;
(95) and thou shalt surely find them of all men the most covetous of life, even more than the idolaters: one of them would desire his life to be prolonged a thousand years, but none shall reprieve himself from punishment, that his life may be prolonged: God seeth that which they do.
Instance #5
Immediately Appurtenant To Gabriel
Abrupt change to a different subject matter
(96) Say, Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel (for he hath caused the Qurán to descend on thy heart, by the permission of God, confirming that which was before revealed, a direction, and good tidings to the faithful);
(97) whosoever is an enemy to God, or his angels, or his apostles, or to Gabriel, or Michael, verily God is an enemy to the unbelievers.
(98) And now we have sent down unto thee evident signs, and none will disbelieve them but the evil-doers.
(99) Whenever they make a covenant, will some of them reject it? yea, the greater part of them do not believe.
Muhammad’s Present
(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:
Instance #6
Immediately Appurtenant To Solomon
(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, Harut 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.
Instance #7
Muhammad’s Present With Moses’s Contemporaries
(107) Will ye require of your apostle according to that which was formerly required of Moses? but he that hath exchanged faith for infidelity, hath already erred from the straight way.
(108) Many of those unto whom the scriptures have been given, desire to render you again unbelievers, after ye have believed; out of envy from their souls, even after the truth is become manifest unto them; but forgive them, and avoid them, till God shall send his command; for God is omnipotent.
(109) Be constant in prayer, and give alms; and what good ye have sent before for your souls, ye shall find it with God; surely God seeth that which ye do.
Instance #8
(a)Appurtenant To Moses
(122) O children of Israel, remember my favour wherewith I have favoured you, and that I have preferred you before all nations;
(123) and dread the day wherein one soul shall not make satisfaction for another soul, neither shall any compensation be accepted from them, nor shall any intercession avail, neither shall they be helped.
(b)Appurtenant To Abraham
(124) Remember when the Lord tried Abraham by certain words, which he fulfilled: God said, Verily I will constitute thee a model of religion unto mankind; he answered, And also of my posterity; God said, My covenant doth not comprehend the ungodly.
(125) And when we appointed the holy house of Makkah to be a place of resort for mankind, and a place of security; and said, Take the station of Abraham for a place of prayer; and we covenanted with Abraham and Ismaíl, that they should cleanse my house for those who should compass it, and those who should be devoutly assiduous there, and those who should bow down and worship.
(126) And when Abraham said, Lord, make this a territory of security, and bounteously bestow fruits on its inhabitants, such of them as believe in God and the last day; God answered, And whosoever believeth not, I will bestow on him little; afterwards I will drive him to the punishment of hell-fire; an ill journey shall it be!
(127) And when Abraham and Ismaíl raised the foundations of the house, saying, Lord, accept it from us, for thou art he who heareth and knoweth:
(128) Lord, make us also resigned unto thee, and of our posterity a people resigned unto thee, and show us our holy ceremonies, and be turned unto us, for thou art easy to be reconciled, and merciful.
Immediate To Muhammad’s Present
(129) Lord, send them likewise an apostle from among them, who may declare thy signs unto them, and teach them the book of the Qurán and wisdom, and may purify them; for thou art mighty and wise.
(130) Who will be averse to the religion of Abraham, but he whose mind is infatuated? Surely we have chosen him in this world, and in that which is to come he shall be one of the righteous.
Instance #9
(a)Immediately Appurtenant To Abraham
(131) When his Lord said unto him, Resign thyself unto me; he answered, I have resigned myself unto the Lord of all creatures.
(132) And Abraham bequeathed this religion to his children, and Jacob did the same, saying, My children, verily God hath chosen this religion for you, therefore die not, unless ye also be resigned.
(b)Appurtenant To Jacob
(133) Were ye present when Jacob was at the point of death? when he said to his sons, Whom will ye worship after me? They answered, We will worship thy God, and the God of thy fathers Abraham, and Ismaíl, and Isaac, one God, and to him will we be resigned.
Immediate To Muhammad’s Present
(134) That people are now passed away, they have what they have gained, and ye shall have what ye gain; and ye shall not be questioned concerning that which they have done.
(135) They say, Become Jews or Christians that ye may be directed. Say, Nay, we follow the religion of Abraham the orthodox, who was no idolater.
(136) Say, We believe in God, and that which hath been sent down unto us, and that which hath been sent down unto Abraham, and Ismaíl, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and that which was delivered unto Moses, and Jesus, and that which was delivered unto the prophets from their Lord: We make no distinction between any of them, and to God are we resigned.
(137) Now if they believe according to what ye believe, they are surely directed, but if they turn back, they are in schism. God shall support thee against them, for he is the hearer, the wise
(138) The baptism of God have we received, and who is better than God to baptise? him do we worship.
(139) Say, Will ye dispute with us concerning God, who is our Lord, and your Lord? We have our works, and ye have your works, and unto him are we sincerely devoted.
(140) Will ye say, truly Abraham, and Ismaíl and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes were Jews or Christians? Say, are ye wiser, or God? And who is more unjust than he who hideth the testimony which he hath received from God? But God is not regardless of that which ye do. (141) That people are passed away, they have what they have gained, and ye shall have what ye gain, nor shall ye be questioned concerning that which they have done.
(147) They to whom we have given the scripture know our apostle, even as they know their own children; but some of them hide the truth, against their own knowledge.
A Curious Time Distortion: Compare S2(129) with S2(152)
A prophecy of Abraham
(129) Lord, send them likewise an apostle from among them, who may declare thy signs unto them, and teach them the book of the Qurán and wisdom, and may purify them; for thou art mighty and wise.
Fulfilled below:
(152) As we have sent unto you an apostle from among you, to rehearse our signs unto you, and to purify you, and to teach you the book of the Qurán and wisdom, and to teach you that which ye knew not.
Both verses are spoken by the same man. Muhammad projects his utterance back into the past as Abraham’s prophecy of himself and then announces its fulfilment.
