PHARAOH AND HAMAN

Pharaoh and Haman never met. The quran states in S10(37): "And this Qur'an is not such as could ever be invented in despite of Allah; but it is a confirmation of that which was before it and an exposition of that which is decreed for mankind - Therein is no doubt - from the Lord of the Worlds." But here is one more example of something that never happened. Plagiarism at its worst. Haman, mentioned 6 times in Al-quran, was contemporary with Moses. The biblical Haman was chronologically ahead of Moses. A vizier in the Persian Empire under King Ahasuerus, he was the main antagonist in the book of Esther. Sura 28 1 Ta. Sin. Mim. 2 These are revelations of the Scripture that maketh plain. 3 We narrate unto thee (somewhat) of the story of Moses and Pharaoh with truth, for folk who believe. 4 Lo! Pharaoh exalted himself in the earth and made its people castes. A tribe among them he oppressed, killing their sons and sparing their women. Lo! he was of those who work corruption...

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...

ANIMALS, BIRDS AND ETC PRAISE ALLAH

All will be gathered in the end to give an account of themselves to Allah. Meaning that all living organisms are responsible for their actions. Therefore all must have a conscience, a sense of right and wrong. That implies that all these animals and birds and whatnot can do otherwise than their nature. An exercise in futility! Absolute madness! Will a virus answer as to its efficiency?   Sura 6  (37) There is no kind of beast on earth, nor fowl which flieth with its wings, but the same is a people like unto you : we have not omitted anything in the book of our decrees: then unto their Lord shall they return. (38) They who accuse our signs of falsehood are deaf and dumb, walking in darkness: God will lead into error whom he pleaseth, and whom he pleaseth he will put in the right way?  Sura 6  (58) With him are the keys of the secret things; none knoweth them besides himself: he knoweth that which is on the dry land and in the sea: there falleth no leaf but he...

ISLAMIC PARADISE IS A WHOREHOUSE

Sura 37 36 states that Muhammad has come with the very truth and that he confirms the message of the apostles before him. The verses that follow from 37-47 including the verses from Surah 38:49-53 speak of Islamic paradise. I honestly can not see any difference between this particular paradise and any down on Earth whorehouse. Nor can I perceive of any biblical apostles approving of this islamic  whorehouse paradise. Jesus in Matthew 22:29-30 disagrees.  Right here the lie is seen and the identity of the real person responsible for this nonsense. Muhammad! It’s the madman no less. He used the name of Allah for his personal purposes.  Islam is futile deceit, not a religion.  Sura 37 (35) and say, Shall we abandon our gods for a distracted poet ? (36) Nay; he cometh with the truth, and beareth witness to the former apostles. (37) Ye shall surely taste the painful torment of hell; (38) and ye shall not be rewarded, but according to your works. (39) But as for the sin...

SURA 2(77) - (79), IS THE BIBLE CORRUPTED?

Image
Sura 2 59 But those who did wrong changed the word which had been told them for another saying, and We sent down upon the evil-doers wrath from heaven for their evil-doing. Sura 2  75 Have ye any hope that they will be true to you when a party of them used to listen to the word of Allah, then used to change it, after they had understood it, knowingly. 76 And when they fall in with those who believe, they say: We believe. But when they go apart one with another they say: Prate ye to them of that which Allah hath disclosed to you that they may contend with you before your Lord concerning it? Have ye then no sense? 77 Are they then unaware that Allah knoweth that which they keep hidden and that which they proclaim? 78 Among them are unlettered folk who know the Scripture not except from hearsay. They but guess. 79 Therefore woe be unto those who write the Scripture with their hands and then say, "This is from Allah," that they may purchase a small gain therewith. Woe unto them f...

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...

EAT, FOOD AND RELIGION IN AL-QURAN

Image
Buy at Amazon: https://a.co/d/ac9BWJ8 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 no...

MUHAMMAD THE PORNSTAR: COMPLETE SEXUAL FREEDOM

Image
Sura 33 50 0 Prophet! surely We have made lawful to you your wives whom you have given their dowries, and those whom your right hand possesses out of those whom Allah has given to you as prisoners of war, and the daughters of your paternal uncle and the daughters of your paternal aunts, and the daughters of your maternal uncle and  the daughters of your maternal aunts who fled with you; and a believing woman if she gave herself to the Prophet, if the Prophet desired to marry her- especially for you, not for the (rest of) believers; We know what We have ordained for them concerning their wives and those whom their right hands possess in order that no blame may attach to you; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. (English translation of the Quran by Maulana 1917 ) https://a.co/d/fEJTLHb Maulana Muhammad Ali's commentary (1917) Quote: The marriages of the Holy Prophet have furnished his critics with the chief implement of attack, and the low-minded missionary has gone so far as to call h...

ON GENDER BINARY AND SAME SEX

Sura 3:(36) A male is not as a female A concordance to gender binary female with males S2 (48) Remember when we delivered you from the people of Pharaoh, who grievously oppressed you, they slew your male children, and let your females live: therein was a great trial from your Lord. S3  (36) And when she was delivered of it, she said, Lord, verily I have brought forth a female (and God well knew what she had brought forth), and a male is not as a female . I have called her Mary; and I commend her to thy protection, and also her issue; against Satan driven away with stones. S3 (196) Their Lord therefore answered them, saying, I will not suffer the work of him among you who worketh to be lost, whether he be male or female : the one of you is from the other. S4  (3) And if ye fear that ye shall not act with equity towards orphans of the female sex , take in marriage of such other women as please you, two, or three, or four, and not more. S4 (10) God hath thus commanded you conc...

ALLAH WAS CONFUSED: HOW MANY DAYS DID IT TAKE TO CREATE?

Sura 10 (3) Verily your Lord is God, who hath created the heavens and the earth in six days ; and then ascended his throne, to take on himself the government of all things. There is no intercessor, but by his permission. This is God, your Lord; therefore serve him. Will ye not consider? (38) This Qurán could not have been composed by any except God; but it is a confirmation of that which was revealed before it, and an explanation of the scripture; there is no doubt thereof; sent down from the Lord of all creatures. (39) Will they say, Muhammad hath forged it? Answer, Bring therefore a chapter like unto it; and call whom you may to your assistance, besides God, if ye speak truth. Sura 7 (55) Verily, your Lord is God, who created the heavens and the earth in six days ; and then ascended his throne: he causeth the night to cover the day; it succeedeth the same swiftly: he also created the sun, and the moon, and the stars, which are absolutely subject unto his command. Is not the w...
