Allah's zodiacal signs

This is plagiarism at its best ever laugh! Muhammad who over and over insists on just one absolute Creator, and does so with Allah's complete backing-well, here Allah takes credit for creating astrology-the study that assumes and attempts to interpret the influence of the heavenly bodies on human affairs. And Allah guards all these from all obstinate rebellious evil spirits. Should any such spirit get close enough, it's pursued by a flaming fire.  No less of course! O by the way , this so-called  "flaming fire", is a shooting star . Utter idiocrasy! Created of plastic clay! Defi nitely proof within the Quran that the Quranic Allah is not in control. Therefore not Allah at all. Sura 15 (16) We have placed the twelve signs in the heaven, and have set them out in various figures, for the observation of spectators: (17) and we guard them from every devil driven away with stones, (18) except him who listeneth by stealth, at whom a visible flame is darted. Sura 37 IN T...

God of the people of the Book

Sura 29 and the book of Hebrews Note- I have quoted 4 translations to show consistency. The Quran states that the God of the Jews and the Christians and the Islamic Allah is the same God. It also says that the Muslims believe the Bible. Both statements are outright lies because the Quran is a complete contradiction to the Bible. Sura 29 46 And argue not with the People of the Scripture unless it be in (a way) that is better, save with such of them as do wrong; and say: We believe in that which hath been revealed unto us and revealed unto you; our God and your God is One, and unto Him we surrender. 47 In like manner We have revealed unto thee the Scripture, and those unto whom We gave the Scripture aforetime will believe therein; and of these (also) there are some who believe therein. And none deny Our revelations save the disbelievers.  (Pickthall)  https://archive.sacred-texts.com/isl/pick/029.htm Dispute not, unless in kindly sort, with the people of the Book; 12 save with...

Islamic fear filled evangelism

Islamic evangelism based on violent fear  Sura 14, as all surahs except surah 9, begins with mentioning the name of Allah, most gracious and most merciful. This Allah has revealed a book-the Quran-that is supposed to lead mankind from darkness to light. And apostles have been sent to teach this Quran to people in their own language. The unbelievers are warned of a terrible penalty. Fear mongering! But also that it's up to Allah to save or not to save. And again fear mongering!  by the most merciful   ? God. So what's the point of sending apostles ? No grace nor mercy or love! Just fear! Sura 14 IN THE NAME OF THE MOST MERCIFUL GOD. (1) A. L. R. This book have we sent down unto thee, that thou mayest lead men forth from darkness into light, by the permission of their Lord, into the glorious and laudable way.  (2) God is he unto whom belongeth whatsoever is in heaven and on earth: and woe be to the infidels, because a grievous punishment waiteth them ; (3) who love t...

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 ...

Solomon's Hoopoe

Image
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 bring 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...

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...

THE CAUSE OF ALLAH

Image
https://a.co/d/j3dVFEU   Now on sale! Preamble What is the Cause of Allah? Or Al-Quran's Mandate?  Why do Muslims leave their own islamic countries? 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 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 Forgiving, Merciful. What is th...

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...

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

About the author There is no one more ordinary than this author. No greatness of character. No mentionable credentials. Except for just one distinctive detail. A long time ago, I realised that I was reading topical books and theological writings, rather than the Bible itself, to find out what the Bible had to say on any subject matter. So I set aside all; and studied exclusively the biblical scriptures, taking good advantage of the various concordances and dictionaries etc that were available to me. So from Genesis to Revelation and back to Genesis to Revelation and repeat. This book is a result of one such study. It would be of interest to all scripture addicts. I do not write on theological matters. I find that there is a huge discrepancy between theology and the scriptures. My books are a study of the scriptures, biblical and gnostic. The Quran claims to confirm and to be a continuation of the biblical scriptures. My books reveal that the Quran is gnostic; that while insisting on th...

Quranic preaching via threats

al-Baqarah: The Cow 164 -167 Sura 2 164 Lo! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of night and day, and the ships which run upon the sea with that which is of use to men, and the water which Allah sendeth down from the sky, thereby reviving the earth after its death, and dispersing all kinds of beasts therein, and (in) the ordinance of the winds, and the clouds obedient between heaven and earth: are signs (of Allah's Sovereignty) for people who have sense. 165 Yet of mankind are some who take unto themselves (objects of worship which they set as) rivals to Allah, loving them with a love like (that which is the due) of Allah (only) - those who believe are stauncher in their love for Allah - Oh, that those who do evil had but known, (on the day) when they behold the doom, that power belongeth wholly to Allah, and that Allah is severe in punishment! 166 (On the day) when those who were followed disown those who followed (them), and they behold the doom, and ...
