Alexander the Great Is the quranic Dhu'l-Qarneyn

Muhammad converts a persian myth into a revelation from Allah Sura 18 (82) The Jews will ask thee concerning Dhu-’l-Qarnain. Answer, I will rehearse unto you an account of him. (83) We made him powerful in the earth, and we gave him means to accomplish everything he pleased. (84) And he followed his way, until he came to the place where the sun setteth; and he found it to set in a spring of black mud; and he found near the same a certain people.    (85) And we said, O Dhu-’l-Qarnain, either punish this people or use gentleness towards them. (86) He answered, Whosoever of them shall commit injustice, we will surely punish him in this world; afterwards shall he return unto his Lord, and he shall punish him with a severe punishment. (87) But whosoever believeth, and doth that which is right, shall receive the most excellent reward, and we will give him in command that which is easy.  (88) Then he continued his way, (89) until he came to the place where the sun riseth; an...

Quranic trinity

Quranic boasting Sura 46 IN THE NAME OF THE MOST MERCIFUL GOD. (1) H. M. The revelation of this book is from the mighty, the wise God. (2) We have not created the heavens and the earth, and whatever is between them, otherwise than in truth and for a determined period; but the unbelievers turn away from the warning which is given them. (3) Say, What think ye? Show me what part of the earth the idols which ye invoke, besides God, have created? Or had they any share in the creation of the heavens? Bring me a book of scripture revealed before this, or some footstep of ancient knowledge, to countenance your idolatrous practices; if ye are men of veracity. (4) Who is in a wider error than he who invoketh, besides God, that which cannot return him an answer, to the day of resurrection; and idols which regard not their calling on them; Sura 55 IN THE NAME OF THE MOST MERCIFUL GOD. (1) The Merciful hath taught his servant the Qurán. (2) He created man; (3) he hath taught him distinct speec...

Ungracious fear mongering Allah

Ungracious Fear Mongering Allah  Allah is called most gracious and most merciful in the quran. The following text is positive proof that Allah is just made up. Which god would be gracious and yet recommend such violence?  Some fear mongering verses are underlined and notice that the muslims are also under threat of violence.   That Muhammad is the God-partner of Allah is highlighted in bold and italics.    Jesus said that he who is without sin should take action. The word "Allah" was familiar to Muhammad and to all that he spoke to. There is nil record of any protest that this "Allah " was some new unknown god. There is record of people worshipping many gods. Allah was obviously one of them. Muhammed was charged by those who heard him of being possessed and mad and of forgery. He also had an unsatisfiable lust for sex. These so called revelations were designed to prevent anyone else from having sex with his harem, while he made sure he had them all. Allah wa...

Distorted time perception. Dyschronometria.

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. ( https://oll.libertyfund.org/title/ali-the-holy-qur-an-koran-arabic-and-english ) A brief list of instances of distorted time perception follows. A complete listing would require a book.  Sura 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, neith...

The Quranic Mandate

Image
https://www.lulu.com/shop/sudhendra-pratap/al-qurans-mandate-sura-8-9 What is the Quranic Mandate? Or the Cause of Allah? Why do Muslims leave their own islamic countires? And enter and settle in a non-islamic country to live permanently? What does this book bring to light? Let the scriptures speak: They do because they are threatened to do so, as is evident in the following quoted verses of Sura 4: (97) Lo! As for those whom the angels take (in death) while they wrong themselves, (the angels) will ask: In what were ye engaged? They will say: We were oppressed in the land. (The angels) will say: Was not Allah's earth spacious that ye could have migrated therein? As for such, their habitation will be hell, an evil journey's end;.. (100) Whoso migrateth for the cause of Allah will find much refuge and abundance in the earth, and whoso forsaketh his home, a fugitive unto Allah and His messenger, and death overtaketh him, his reward is then incumbent on Allah. Allah is ever Forgiv...

124,000 prophets sent by Allah is utter nonsence

Image
The quran states that to every people was sent messengers and apostles and prophets. It is said that 124,000 in all were sent. This is an unbelievable number. For it means that before Muhammad, who is called the last prophet, there were 124,000 people groups in the world, speaking 124,000 different languages, practicing 124,000 different cultures and traditions.Today there is a much greater population on earth  than 1400 years ago and yet not enough people groups  to even come close to that number. How can one believe such illogical nonsense? Islam is empty deceit, not a religion. Proof texts follow:     Sura 4:163. We have sent thee Inspiration, as We sent it To Noah and the Messengers After him: We sent Inspiration to Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob And the Tribes, to Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, And to David We gave The Psalms. 164. Of some apostles We have Already told thee the story; Of others we have not;— And t...

Mecca 1979: The mosque siege that changed the course of Saudi history

It's four decades since a charismatic preacher and his followers staged an armed takeover of the Grand Mosque of Mecca and the holiest place in Islam became a killing field. The resulting siege, writes the BBC's Eli Melki, shook the Muslim world to its foundations and changed the course of Saudi history. In the early hours of 20 November 1979, some 50,000 faithful from all over the world gathered for dawn prayers in the huge courtyard surrounding the sacred Kaaba in Mecca, Islam's holiest place. Among them mingled 200 men led by a charismatic 40-year-old preacher called Juhayman al-Utaybi. As, the imam finished leading prayers, Juhayman and his followers pushed him aside and seized the microphone. They had placed closed coffins in the centre of the yard, a traditional act of seeking blessings for the recently deceased. But when the coffins were opened, they revealed handguns and rifles, which were quickly distributed among the men.   Read up at link:       ...

Smite at their necks

Why do Muslims cut off the heads of those who do not believe Allah-Muhammad? Because the Quran tells them to do so! The Islamic message is clear: obey or die. This is enforcement. And as such Islam just can not be a religion. It’s slavery. Wine and sex is promised to the obeying Muslims!  https://a.co/d/5ssAe72 Observe Muhammad's manipulation. Sura 47 IN THE NAME OF THE MOST MERCIFUL GOD. (1) God will render of none effect the works of those who believe not, and who turn away men from the way of God;    (2) but as to those who believe, and work righteousness, and believe the revelation which has been sent down unto Muhammad (for it is the truth from their Lord), he will expiate their evil deeds from them, and will dispose their heart aright. (3) This will he do, because those who believe not follow vanity, and because those who believe follow the truth from the Lord. Thus God propoundeth unto men their examples.  (4) When ye encounter the unbelievers, strike off...

Islamic parable or sovereign stupidity

The Quran makes great use of what it calls parables or similitudes. These are supposed to teach morals, ethics, virtuousness and righteousness. But the norm is pointless rubbish. Sura 7 (176) And relate unto the Jews the history of him unto whom we brought our signs, and he departed from them; wherefore Satan followed him, and he became one of those who were seduced.   (177) And if We had pleased, We had surely raised him thereby unto wisdom ; but he inclined unto the earth, and followed his own desire. Wherefore his likeness is as the likeness of a dog, which, if thou drive him away, putteth forth his tongue, or, if thou let him alone, putteth forth his tongue also. This is the likeness of the people who accuse our signs of falsehood. Rehearse therefore this history unto them, that they may consider. (178) Evil is the similitude of those people who accuse our signs of falsehood, and injure their own souls.   (179) Whomsoever God shall direct, he will be rightl...

Plagiarism and destruction

Plagiarism a nd mental destruction via fear mongering Sura 18 109 Say: Though the sea became ink for the Words of my Lord, verily the sea would be used up before the words of my Lord were exhausted, even though We brought the like thereof to help. Surah 31 27 And if all the trees in the earth were pens, and the sea, with seven more seas to help it, (were ink), the words of Allah could not be exhausted. Lo! Allah is Mighty, Wise. John 21 24 This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true. 25 There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself wouldn’t have room for the books that would be written. And mental destruction via fear mongering Sura 32  Verse 1 to Verse 9 is just sweet talk of how great Allah is.  10 And they say: When we are lost in the earth, how can we then be re-created ? Nay but they are disbelievers in the meeting with their Lor...
