Premable
The first sin, the simple start to the entire depravity of mankind, was the disobedience in the eating of a prohibited food. The very first murder was committed over the food offering. An entire race of mankind was eliminated. World history, though began locally and in ordinary places, was set in motion before and after the consumption of food and drink.
Introduction

To begin with a quranic statement: Sura 3(3) He hath revealed unto thee (Muhammad) the Scripture with truth, confirming that which was (revealed) before it, even as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel. 4  Aforetime, for a guidance to mankind; and hath revealed the Criterion (of right and wrong). Lo! those who disbelieve the revelations of Allah, theirs will be a heavy doom. Allah is Mighty, Able to Requite (the wrong).


A fairy tale  in the Quran

Sura An-Naml (27), specifically in verses 20-28

20. And he took a muster of the Birds; and he said: "Why is it I see not the Hoopoe? Or is he among the absentees? 21. "I will certainly punish him with a severe punishment, or execute him, unless he brings me a clear reason (for absence)."

22. But the Hoopoe tarried not far: he (came up and) said: "I have compassed which thou hast not compassed, and I have come to thee from Sabá with tidings true.

23. "I found (there) a woman ruling over them and provided with every requisite; and she has a magnificent throne. 24. "I found her and her people worshipping the sun besides Allah. Satan has made their deeds seem pleasing in their eyes, and has kept them away from the Path,- so they receive no guidance,- 25. "So that they worship not Allah, Who brings forth what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knows what ye hide and what ye reveal. 26. "Allah!- there is no god but He!- Lord of the Throne Supreme!"

27. (Solomon) said: "Soon shall we see whether thou hast told the truth or lied! 28. "Go thou, with this letter of mine, and deliver it to them: then draw back from them, and (wait to) see what answer they return".


Observation

The hoopoe was unclean, not to be eaten. Therefore Solomon would not have gone anywhere near it yet employed it or attempt to talk to it.

Leviticus 11:

13 “‘You shall detest these among the birds; they shall not be eaten because they are an abomination: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture, 14 the red kite, any kind of black kite, 15 any kind of raven, 16 the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk, 17 the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl, 18 the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey, 19 the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.


MIshneh Torah, Forbidden Foods 1:14 

The Torah does not mention the distinguishing features of kosher birds, but only lists the non-kosher species. All unlisted species are allowed. The twenty-four non-kosher species are these: 1) Eagle; 2) Bearded Vulture; 3) Black Vulture; 

4) Kite, which is the ra'ah in Deuteronomy (Deut. 14:13); 

5) Hawk, that is the da'ah in Deuteronomy (ibid.); 

6) species of hawk, because for the hawk is written "after its kinds" (Lev. 11:14), so it includes two species; 

7) Raven; 8) Starling, because for the raven is written "after its kinds" (Lev. 11:15), it includes the starling; 

9) Ostrich; 10) Swallow; 11) Gull; 

12) Falcon; 13) Shrike, it is a kind of falcon, because it says "after its kinds" (Lev. 14:16); 

14) Little Owl; 15) Osprey; 16) Long-Eared Owl; 

17) Barn Owl; 18) Swan; 19) Egyptian Vulture; 20) Stork; 

21) Heron; 22) species of heron, because for the heron is written: "according to his kind" (Lev. 11:19); 23) Hoopoe; 

24) Bat.


Conclusion

The Quran does not confirm the biblical scriptures. 

A portion of the analysis of chapter 2 is given below as a taste of the contents of the book:

Analysis These verses (over 60 verses, not shown here) on food plus the verses on hunting reveals both the definition and the description of Islam. It's in the following verse that al-Islam is named as religion perfected by instructions on food.

Sura 5 1. 3 Forbidden unto you (for food) are carrion and blood and swine fl esh, and that which hath been dedicated unto any other than Allah, and the strangled, and the dead through beating, and the dead through falling from a height, and that which hath been killed by (the goring of) horns, and the devoured of wild beasts, saving that which ye make lawful (by the death-stroke), and that which hath been immolated unto idols. And (forbidden is it) that ye swear by the divining arrows. This is an abomination. This day are those who disbelieve in despair of (ever harming) your religion; so fear them not, fear Me! This day have I perfected your religion for you and completed My favour unto you, and have chosen for you as religion al-Islam. Whoso is forced by hunger, not by the will, to sin: (for him) lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. Sura 5 2. 5 This day are (all) good things made lawful for you. The food of those who have received the Scripture is lawful for you, and your food is lawful for them. And so are the virtuous women of the believers and the virtuous women of those who received the Scripture before you (lawful for you) when ye give them their marriage portions and live with them in honour, not in fornication, nor taking them as secret concubines. Whoso denieth the faith, his work is vain and he will be among the losers in the Hereafter.

Observation

The status of Muslim and non-muslim virtuous women is the same as food. An extremely degraded view of women.

Allah-Muhammad's boasting

Allah’s statement 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. Sura 41   (44) If we had revealed the Qurán in a foreign language, they had surely said, Unless the signs thereof be distinctly explained, we will not receive the same: is the book written in a foreign tongue, and the person...

Equal to Allah

Muhammad’s status was equal to Allah   The Quran states a lot about Allah . Mainly that It is just one and that there is no other being equal to It. But the Quran also contradicts its own self when it states that Allah including Muhammad is to be obeyed. This is definite proof that Muhammad was never a prophet because bipolarity or split-personality properties is not typical of any truly divinely inspired human. Allah refers to Itself in both the plural and the singular. Sura 1  IN THE NAME OF THE MOST MERCIFUL GOD (1)  Praise be to God, the Lord of all creatures; (2) the most merciful, (3) the king of the day of judgment. (4) Thee do we worship, and of thee do we beg assistance.  (5)  Direct us in the right way,  (6)  in the way of those to whom thou hast been gracious;  (7)  not of those against whom thou art incensed, nor of those who go astray. Sura 2 (32)  They answered, Praise be unto thee; we have no knowledge but what thou teache...

Spoils of war: Muhammad-Allah are gangsters

Image
Allah and Muhammad are on a equal footing. Obeying Muhammad is the same as obeying Allah. This is just another proof that Muhammad was never a prophet. Allah was just a marketing tool for him to get what he wanted. Proof texts follow:  https://islambrutallyexposed.blogspot.com/2023/08/contraductions-in-al-quran https://a.co/d/5ssAe72 Sura 8  (1) They will ask thee concerning the spoils: Answer, The division of the spoils belongeth unto God and the Apostle. Therefore fear God, and compose the matter amicably among you: and obey God and his Apostle, if ye are true believers. (39) Say unto the unbelievers, that if they desist from opposing thee, what is already past shall be forgiven them; but if they return to attack thee, the exemplary punishment of the former opposers of the prophets is already past, and the like shall be inflicted on them. (40) Therefore fight against them until there be no opposition in favour of idolatry, and the religion be wholly God’s. If they des...

Sodomy, they became fools

Image
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...

Muhammad is the God-partner of Allah # 2

Image
                 Sura 3 (20) If they dispute with thee, say, I have resigned myself unto God, and he who followeth me doth the same; and say unto them who have received the scriptures, and to the ignorant, Do ye profess the religion of Islám? Now if they embrace Islám, they are surely directed; but if they turn their backs, verily unto thee belongeth preaching only; for God regardeth his servants. (31) Say, if ye love God, follow me: then God shall love you, and forgive you your sins; for God is gracious and merciful. (32) Say, Obey God, and his apostle; but if ye go back, verily God loveth not the unbelievers. Muhammad’s Strategy He transferred his own bipolar characteristics onto past biblical prophets of the Israelites as obviously there were never any true Arabian prophets. He wanted obedience without question. And in order to achieve that, he placed his own words into the former prophets’ preaching. Sura 3 And (49) I come to confirm the ...

The care of Mary

The Quran states that when Mary was pregnant with Jesus, lots were cast with arrows to determine which priest would be charged with her care.  Sura 3  (42) And when the angels said, O Mary, verily God hath chosen thee, and hath purified thee, and hath chosen thee above all the women of the world: (43) O Mary, be devout towards thy Lord, and worship, and bow down with those who bow down. (44) This is a secret history: we reveal it unto thee, although thou wast not present with them when they threw in their rods to cast lots which of them should have the education of Mary; neither wast thou with them when they strove among themselves. (45) When the angels said: O Mary, verily God sendeth thee good tidings, that thou shalt bear the Word proceeding from himself; (46) his name shall be Christ Jesus the son of Mary, honourable in this world and in the world to come, and one of those who approach near to the presence of God; and he shall speak unto men in the cradle, and when h...

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. Sura 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 his...

Alif. Lam. Mim., muqatta'at

Sura 2 I am Allah, the best Knower Commentary The original words are alif, lam, mlm. Translations of the Holy Qur-an generally leave abbreviations, like the one occurring here, untranslated. The combinations of letters or single letters occurring at the commencement of several chapters of the Holy Qur-an, 29 in all, are called ... simply muqatta'at , and according to the best received opinion these letters are abbreviations standing for words. .... Abbreviations are known to all languages, the only peculiarity of their use in Arabic literature being that the letters carry different meanings in different places, and the meaning is decided in each case by the context.  Such is the opinion of I’Ab (AH). Both he and IMsd agree in interpreting the alif, Idm, mim occurring here, as well as at the commencement of the 3rd, 29th, 30th, 31st, and 32nd chapters of the Holy QurAn, as ... I am Allah, the best Knower,  alif standing for ana , lam for Allah , and mim for a'lamu (A...

Companions of the Gardens, sura 3

Image
Question- why do I use the biblical scriptures to answer instead of my own judgments? Answer-  For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Hebrews 4:12.  Romans 10:17 So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.  1Corinthians 1:18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. Sura 3 1. (15) Say, Shall I declare unto you better things than this? For those who are devout are prepared with their Lord gardens through which rivers flow; therein shall they continue for ever: and they shall enjoy wives free from impurity, and the favour of God; for God regardeth his servants, 2. (136) their reward shall be pardon from their Lord, and gardens wherein rivers flow; they shall remain therein forever: and how excellent i...

Mass destruction

Sura 26 The format is simple. A prophet is named. Then the history of his attempt to get the people to whom he is sent to, to repent and turn back to Allah and be saved from Allah’s wrath. Then the people’s refusal to do so and then their destruction follows. After every destruction (V221 is a threat) is the statement that this Allah is merciful. How’s that for logic? Sura 26 starts off with what a great book the Quran is and the mercy of Allah S26(1)-(8 Verily thy Lord is the mighty, the merciful God ) . Then to Moses and his story which ends with destruction by drowning of Pharaoh and his army S26(9)-(68 Verily thy Lord is the mighty and the merciful ). Then Abranham. It ends in Hell S26(69)-(104 The Lord is the mighty, the merciful. ) . Then to Noah. This ends in all the world being drowned except Noah and his family S26(105)-(122 Thy Lord is the mighty, the merciful. ) Then Hud to the tribe of Ad. They were destroyed S26(123)-(140 Thy Lord is the mighty, the merciful.) Then Salih ...
