AN IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF AL-QURAN, SURA 3

Intent  Introduction  1 Allah  2 Muhammad’s Duty  3 The Book  4 A Concordance To The Obligations Of The Muslims Found In Sura 3  5 Paid In Full  6 Unbelievers  7 Companions Of The Gardens  8 People Of The Scripture  9 The Likeness Of Adam  10 Abraham The Father Of Jews, Jews The Children Of Israel  11 The Care Of Mary  12 John In The Quran  13 Jesus  14 Religion Cause Way  15 Hereafter Fire 16 Duty Unto Allah For Mankind  Addendum  Intent This is a textbook face value exegesis of the 3rd Sura of the Quran, and just as in the previous study of Sura 1 & 2 Book One, seeks sincerely to initiate a fundamentally hard reappraisal of Al-quran by those who hold it to be the final revelation of Allah. Introduction The observations of two translators of the Arabic Quran are given below to start off. A Quote : “On the question of originality there can hardly be two opinions now that the Koran has been tho...

ALIF. LAM. MIM: MUQATTA'AT

Image
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...

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:  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 t...

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. 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 for that ...

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...

MOSES AND HIS MARRIAGE

The quranic account is a corrupted mixture of Moses and Jacob.  Sura 28 23 And when he came unto the water of Midian he found there a whole tribe of men, watering. And he found apart from them two women keeping back (their flocks). He said: What aileth you? The two said: We cannot give (our flocks) to drink till the shepherds return from the water; and our father is a very old man. 24 So he watered (their flock) for them. Then he turned aside into the shade, and said: My Lord! I am needy of whatever good Thou sendest down for me. 25 Then there came unto him one of the two women, walking shyly. She said: Lo! my father biddeth thee, that he may reward thee with a payment for that thou didst water (the flock) for us. Then, when he came unto him and told him the (whole) story, he said: Fear not! Thou hast escaped from the wrongdoing folk. 26 One of the two women said: O my father! Hire him! For the best (man) that thou canst hire is the strong, the trustworthy. 27 He said: Lo! I fain...

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...

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 ∥ (162) Verily we have revealed our will unto thee, as we have revealed it unto Noah and the prophets who succeeded him; and as we revealed it unto Abraham, and Ismáíl, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and unto Jesus, and Job, and Jonas, and Aaron, and Solomon; and we have given thee the Qurán as we gave the psalms unto David: (163) some apostles have w...

SURA 24 IS "PROPHECY" AFTER THE FACT

The entire 24th surah is the proof-text that denies Muhammad his prophethood status. A prophecy is only a prophecy IF it is revealed before the actual happening. This 24th surah occurs after Muhammad's wife Aisha was accused of having had sex with Safwan. Compare Sura 24 with Sura 33 Sura 33 (49) O Prophet, we have allowed thee thy wives unto whom thou hast given their dower, and also the slaves which thy right hand possesseth, of the booty which God hath granted thee; and the daughters of thy uncle, and the daughters of thy aunts, both on thy father’s side and on thy mother’s side, who have fled with thee from Makkah, and any other believing woman, if she give herself unto the Prophet, in case the Prophet desireth to take her to wife. This is a peculiar privilege granted unto thee above the rest of the true believers. (50) We know what we have ordained them concerning their wives, and the slaves which their right hands possess: lest it should be deemed a crime in thee to make u...

ISLAMIC DOMESTIC INEQUALITY AND VIOLENCE

Females are subordinate to males. Can a Muslim female have as many husbands as a Muslim male can have wives? Sura 4 IN THE NAME OF THE MOST MERCIFUL GOD. (1) O men, fear your Lord, who hath created you out of one man, and out of him created his wife, and from them two hath multiplied many men and women: and fear God by whom ye beseech one another; and respect women who have borne you, for God is watching over you. (2) And give the orphans when they come to age their substance; and render them not in exchange bad for good: and devour not their substance, by adding it to your own substance; for this is a great sin. (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. But if ye fear that ye cannot act equitably towards so many, marry one only, or the slaves which ye shall have acquired.  This will be easier, that ye swerve not from righteousness. And give wo...
