Islam's Double God
Dwellers in Al-Hijr
Sura 15
80 And the dwellers in Al-Hijr denied (Our) messengers.
81 And We gave them Our revelations, but they were averse to them. 82 And they used to hew out dwellings from the hills, (wherein they dwelt) secure. 83 But the (Awful) Cry overtook them at the morning hour, 84 And that which they were wont to count as gain availed them not.
Verse 85 is where the truth is exposed.Several translations are quoted to show consistency.
Double God forgiveness in six translations
S15 (85) We have not created the heavens and the earth, and whatever is contained between them, otherwise than in justice: and the hour of judgement shall surely come. Wherefore, O Muhammad, forgive thy people with a gracious forgiveness. (Geroge Sale)

85. We created not the heavens,
The earth, and all between them,
But for just ends.
And the Hour is surely
Coming (when this will be manifest).
So overlook (any human faults)
With gracious forgiveness. (Yusuf Ali)

Commentary #1350 by Muhammad Ali
The verse gives us a true insight into the Holy Prophet’s mind, and not only did he act upon this injunction while at Mecca, but he was equally forgiving in his conquests. One instance only in the conquest of Mecca is sufficient to prove this, when, having captured the city which had most tyrannically driven him out with his followers, and whose people were guilty of shedding the innocent blood of the Muslims, he forgave all, although he could have justly slain large numbers of them.
There is no doubt a reference here to the Holy Prophet’s flight. The hour of punishment, of the discomfiture of opponents, was drawing nigh, and he must now leave them, as punishment was delayed so long as he was among them.
Observation
The commentary is a masterful deception. It attempts to hide the duality of the islamic Allah. The God of Islam is not one. Are the islamic scholars afraid to admit this?

The Quranic text writes of the dwellers in Al-Hijr [S15(80)-(84)]; says nothing about Mecca, and then just states (v85) that the Hour is coming and that Muhammad should forgive.
Who should he forgive?
Muhammad has authority co-equal to Allah.
Sura 81(19) That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger,(20) Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne,(21) (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy;
https://archive.sacred-texts.com/isl/pick/081.htm (Pickthall)
2nd translation: That this is the word of an illustrious Messenger, Endued with power, having influence with the Lord of the Throne, Obeyed there by Angels, faithful to his trust,
https://archive.sacred-texts.com/isl/qr/081.htm (Rodwell)
Muhammad is the intercessor
S20(109) On that day no intercession availeth save (that of) him unto whom the Beneficent hath given leave and whose word He accepteth.
S63(5) And when it is said unto them: Come! The messenger of Allah will ask forgiveness for you! they avert their faces and thou seest them turning away, disdainful.
Allah is the intercessor
S6(70)...Remind (mankind) hereby lest a soul be destroyed by what it earneth. It hath beside Allah no protecting ally nor intercessor, and though it offer every compensation it will not be accepted from it…
Who forgives?
Allah forgives
S14(10)Their messengers said:Can there be doubt concerning Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth? He calleth you that He may forgive you your sins and reprieve you unto an appointed term…
Muhammad forgives
S15(85) We have not created the heavens and the earth and all that between them is, but for a worthy end. 17 And verily, "the Hour" shall surely come. Wherefore do thou, Muhammad, forgive with kindly forgiveness.
Notice the "We". and the "Hour".
What is this Hour?
S12(107) Deem they themselves secure from the coming on them of a pall of Allah's punishment, or the coming of the Hour suddenly while they are unaware?
Observation
“We” is Allah-Muhammad. This double God of Islam tells one of Its equal partners to forgive. The forgiveness of the coming Hour is in the future. The Hour refers to the judgement day. It's up to Muhammad to forgive. Muhammad is the co-equal partner of Allah. The God of Islam is not singular.
