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...

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...

Queen of Saba vsits Solomon

Solomon sends the Queen of Saba a threatening letter after receiving reports from his spy bird Hoopoe. She must conform to Islam. An incredibly tall tale since in this Surah 27 Solomon talks to ants and birds.  This Sura also claims: (77) and there is nothing hidden in heaven or on earth, but it is written in a clear book.  (78) Verily this Qurán declareth unto the children of Israel most of those points concerning which they disagree: (79) and it is certainly a direction and a mercy unto the true believers. (80) Thy Lord will decide the controversy between them by his definitive sentence: and he is the mighty, the wise. (81) Therefore put thy trust in God; for thou art in the manifest truth. https://oll.libertyfund.org/title/wherry-the-quran-vol-3#lf0965-03_label_689 Disagree in what? Solomon talking to ants and birds? Sura 27 (15) We heretofore bestowed knowledge on David and Solomon: and they said, Praise be unto God, who hath made us more excellent than many of his faith...

Allah made a mess: life or death

Sura 3 (145) No soul can die unless by the permission of God, according to what is written in the book containing the determinations of things. And whoso chooseth the reward of this world, we will give him thereof: but whoso chooseth the reward of the world to come, we will give him thereof: and we will surely reward the thankful. (186) Every soul shall taste of death, and ye shall have your reward on the day of resurrection; and he who shall be far removed from hell fire, and shall be admitted into paradise, shall be happy; but the present life is only a deceitful provision. Sura 6 (60) He is supreme over his servants, and sendeth the guardian angels to watch over you, until, when death overtaketh one of you, our messengers cause him to die: and they will not neglect our commands. (61) Afterwards shall they return unto God, their true Lord: doth not judgment belong unto him? He is the most quick in taking an account. Sura 21 (35) We have not granted unto any man before thee e...

Sura 34, yet another tall tale

Sura 34 This surat starts off with saying that Allah knows it all as in verses 1 and 2. And then it goes on to show that It knows less than nothing. In an earlier sura 27 Solomon talked with birds and ants. Here the wind is obedient to him. Jinns work for him, implying of course that Solomon could converse with them. Disobedience was punishable by being burnt. And notice how he dies. Two quranic translations are quoted. The 2nd with it's commentary to show a muslim's understanding of the tale being considered. A biblical passage is quoted within the commentary to enhance its authenticity. The stormy winds and waves were obedient to Jesus.  Another plagiarism by Muhammad just gone wrong.The mad man is called a prophet in sura 33(1). But what exactly is his prophecy? Nothing at all. Islam is futile deceit, not a religion. https://archive.org/details/TheNobleQuranHilaliMuhsinKhan/page/n5/mode/2up Sura 34 In the Name of Allah the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 1. All the ...

Night journey: a complete lie

Muhammad is supposed to have been taken by Allah to the farthest mosque. This mosque is said, by muslim scholars, to be the temple of Solomon in Jerusalem. He was taken there so that Allah might show him some of its signs, so says the verse. The only problem is that the said temple was destroyed by the Roman Emperor Titus in AD 70. There was nothing to actually see. So what signs did the mad prophet see? Nothing! The bible in the book of Luke records the prophecy of its destruction. Whenever a biblical prophet saw a vision or was taken somewhere, a whole lot of descriptions are given and recorded.The quran records nothing. This is another proof of the quranic lie. Sura 17  IN the name of the merciful and compassionate God. Celebrated be the praises of Him who took His servant a journey by night from the Sacred Mosque (The Kaabah at Mecca) to the Remote Mosque (The Temple at Jerusalem), the precinct of which we have blessed, to show him of our signs! verily, He both hears and looks....

Confused Allah's creating power

The Quran contradicts itself again. It's more to the point to say that Allah contradicts itself, since Allah is the one who claims to have revealed the Quran. Well and good! Did Allah create once only or does it need to keep creating? Sura 2.  Baqara,or the Heife r 117 To Him is due The primal origin Of the heavens and the earth: When He decreeth a matter, He saith to it: "Be," And it is. Sura 6 Anam, or Cattle 73 It is He Who created The heavens and the earth In true (proportions): The day He saith, "Be," Behold! it is. His Word Is the Truth. His will be The dominion the day The trumpet will be blown. He knoweth the Unseen As well as that which is Open. For He Is the Wise, well acquainted (With all things) Sura 19 Maryam, or Mar y 35 It is not befitting To (the majesty of) God That He should beget A son. Glory be to Him! When He determines A matter, He only says To it, "Be", and it is. "BE" and it is; it's quite a powerful statement. But...

Jesus is superior

Sura 7 (53) And now have we brought unto those of Makkah a book of divine revelations: we have explained it with knowledge; a direction and mercy unto people who shall believe. (54) Do they wait for any other than the interpretation thereof? On the day whereon the interpretation thereof shall come, they who had forgotten the same before shall say, Now are we convinced by demonstration that the messengers of our Lord came unto us with truth: shall we therefore have any intercessors, who will intercede for us? or shall we be sent back into the world, that we may do other works than what we did in our lifetime? But now have they lost their souls; and that which they impiously imagined hath fled from them. Sura 5 (48) We have surely sent down the law, containing direction and light: thereby did the prophets, who professed the true religion, judge those who judaised; and  the doctors and priests also judged by the book of God, which had been committed to their custody; and they wer...

Islam the only religion?

This religion is filled full of contradictions, untrustworthy statements and outright lies. Here's another example that proves that Allah was just a pick out of many; and Muhammed used this Allah to further his own benefits. That is to say bluntly that Muhammad was his own god.  Sura 10 IN THE NAME OF THE MOST MERCIFUL GOD (1) Al. R. These are the signs of the wise book. (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. (40) But they have charged that with falsehood, the knowledge whereof they do not comprehend, neither hath the interpretation thereof come unto them. In the same manner did those who were before them accuse their pr...

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...
