For the fact mistakes and errors based on themes, see Part II, Chapter 1, Subchapter 3, Sections 1 through 16.
Comments numbered by 3 numbers (included 00 or 0) a few places followed by one small letter = clear mistakes. Comments numbered by 00 or 0 followed by 1, 2 or 3 letters (big or small) = likely mistake.
001 31/2: “These are Verses of the Wise Book”. A book with lots and lots of mistakes and with lots and lots of unfounded statements based on nothing except unproven, cheap words is no wise book and no book “full of wisdom”. It may be symptomatic that the name of this surah, Luqman, is the name of a wise man in some Arab fairy tales.
002 31/3a: “A Guide - - -”. See 31/2 just above. Such a book also is no good guide.
*003 31/3b: “And it (the Quran*) certainly is - - - a Mercy to those who believe.” With all its aversion against knowledge (except religious and related knowledge – f. ex. astronomy to follow the religious dates, special days, etc. exactly), its demand for hate and war, its dark and total dominance over all aspects of life, etc., - and the suppression of half its members (the women) - it is no mercy even to believers.
*004 31/30: “- - - Allah is the (only) Reality - - -.” The only facts that are realities about Allah, are that his existence is never proved, the belief in him rests only on blind belief, and all knowledge (or invented tales?) about him – absolutely all – come from a man with highly questionable ethics and morality, and a man willing to break even his oath if that gave better result, and one who used the tales as his platform of power.
Actually: In the book “The Message of the Quran”, certified by Al-Azhar Al-Sharif Islamic Research Academy in Cairo (one of the 2-3 top universities in the Muslim world on such subjects) in a letter dated 27. Dec. 1998, it is admitted rather reluctantly that there are no proofs for Allah, and that it is not possible to prove him. An additonal point here is that if there are no ptoof for Allah and impossible to ptove him, automatically there also is no proof for, and impossible to prove Muhammad's claimed connection to Allah.
005 31/5: “These (Muslims*) are on (true) guidance - - -“. A book with lots of mistakes, twisted arguments, as twisted logic, and dictated by a man of very suspect morality and defending and enlarging his platform of power – his self proclaimed religion – is no reliable guidance and of suspected truth. More proofs are needed to make this believable.
006 31/9: “The promise of Allah (the Quran*) is true”. See 32/5 just above.
**007 31/10a: “He created the heavens (plural and wrong) without any pillars that you can see - - -”. The Quran tells that the 7 heavens rest on invisible pillars (of course they need pillars - if not they would fall down!!!). Nowadays even Islam knows this is wrong, and the statements have to be explained away. We have f. ex been told from Islamic information centres on Internet that: “- everyone with an IQ more than 60 of course understand that that means the pillars do not exist”.
But we know well the difference between “invisible” and “not existing”.
We also remember that the Quran - and Islam and Muslims - says the book is to be understood literally, (if nothing else is said).
008 31/10b: “- - - heavens - - -.” Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
009 31/10a: “He set on earth mountains - - -”. The mountains are not set (another place in the Quran it even says “set down“) - they without exception have grown up.
010 31/10c: “He set on earth mountains standing firm, lest it should shake with you - - -”. Some Muslim scholars say that this refers to the (wrong) danger that the pancake-like (?), flat disc that is Earth, could start shaking, then to tumble and turn and drop you off. But even if we accept Islam’s modern “explanation” - that this has to do with earth quakes, it is completely wrong. Mountains do not hinder earth quakes. On the contrary: Earthquakes very often are connected to the same processes that build the mountains, whether this is tectonic or volcanic activity (when we say “very often” in connection with tectonic activity, the reason is that earthquakes also are made from tectonic plates just sliding past each other without building mountains). The fact is that in some cases mountains - or because of varieries in big lakes or masses of snow in the mountains - varying weight can cause earthquakes (source: New Scientist). (There f. ex. are some more earthquakes in the northern part of the Earth during winter because of the weight of the snow, and there often is more snow in the mountains than in the low-land - source: New Scientist.)
*00a 31/11: “Such is the Creation of Allah: now show Me (Allah*) what is there that others beside Him have created - - -.” Show us first if all the cheap words about everything Allah has created, are true – there only are lose and easy words anyone can use about his/her god(s), free of charge. With all the mistakes and twisted words and logic and even some obvious lies (f. ex. that miracles will make no-one believe) the Quran is built on, also this may be wrong.
011 31/16: “- - - heavens - - -.” Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
012 31/20a: “- - - heavens - - -.” Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
013 31/20b: “- - - without a Book (like the Quran*) to enlighten them”. This implies that the Quran enlightens some ones – but a book with that many mistakes, etc., enlightens nobody. Also note how much value Muhammad puts on the written words - a book seems to be a proof for something in religion for him.
014 31/21 “- - - the (Revelations) that Allah has sent down - - -”. Can an omniscient god have sent down texts with so many mistakes? Impossible.
015 31/22: “- - - the most trustworthy hand-hold (the Quran and Allah*) - - -“. But a book with so many mistakes, etc. - and even some shining lies (like that miracles will not make a lot of people believe) – is not trustworthy.
016 31/25a: “If thou ask them who it is that created the heavens (plural and wrong once more) and the earth, they will certainly say, ‘Allah’”. Wrong. If they believe a god created this, they certainly will name their own god(s) - though in the old Arabia this might have been the polytheistic god al-Lah.
***(The likeness of the pronunciation of al-Lah and Allah hides the difference when spoken - just like when the Muslims use the word God instead of Allah speaking to non-Muslims - it on the surface camouflages some of the fundamental differences there are between Allah and God/Yahweh for people with little knowledge).
017 31/25b: “- - - heavens - - -.” Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
018 31/27: “- - - Allah is - - - Full of wisdom.” Not if the Quran is representative for his wisdom.
019 31/29a: “- - - Allah merges Night into Day and He merges Day into Night - - -.” This is one of the natural phenomena Muhammad hijacked without any proof or documentation. It is totally void of any value as a proof for Allah unless it is proved that it really is Allah that spins the Earth in the light from the sun – the real reason for the alternation of day and night. Without such proofs, this just is another number of cheap, valueless words that anyone can use free of charge for his/her god(s).
020 31/29b: “- - - He (Allah*) has subjected the sun and the moon (to His Law) - - -“. A nice proof for Allah - - - but only if it is proved that it really is he that moves them in their trajectories. Without such proofs, these just are cheap words in a valueless claim anyone can use totally free of charge – for Allah or for any other god, real or invented.
*021 31/29c: “Seest thou not - - - that He (Allah*) has subjected the sun and the moon (to His Law), each running its course - - -.” Wrong. Relative to the Earth the sun is fixed and it is the Earth that is moving. (“Explanation” from some Muslims: We drop the fact that it here is talk about the relative movements between the Earth and the sun – obvious partly because it is talk about movement relative to the observer on Earth, and obvious from the fact that is talk about the movements of both the sun and the moon – and we drop the fact that the verse started with “Seest thou not - - -“, and find the "obvious" meaning: Muhammad talks about the sun’s course around the galaxy, once every 225 million years. Well, it could have been obvious, if they had explained why they settled for that movement – because the galaxy is moving around in the Local Group (a small cluster of galaxies), which again is mowing around in our local Super Group (a cluster of a couple of thousands galaxies), which again is mowing towards some enormous centre of gravity called The Great Attractor - - - which again may be on its way somewhere. (Muhammad clearly had not the faintest idea about the real connections between Earth, moon and sun – any god had known everything exactly. Theb who made the Quran?) Even more: Even if one only looks at the movement of the sun around the galaxy, that is not a circle – it is a bent approximately sinuous curve as Helios – our sun – wobbles up and down over and under the galactic equator on its way around the galactic centre. But pick and choose the parts of the total movement till you find one you like.
**If they are they just cherry picking the arguments they like and that seemingly are usable, no matter whether it really fits or not? Well, it would not be the first time.
**022 31/30: “That is because Allah is the (only) Realty - - -”. Is Allah really a reality? All the tales about him derives from just one man - a man even canonized Islamic history tells for long time lived as a chief highwayman and from robbing and extortion (for kidnapped salesmen, etc.). A man initiating assassinations and murders on his opponents (f. ex. Asma bint Marwan (female poet), al-Nadr, Abu Uzza, and Ocba after the battle of Badr, Abu Afaq (said to be over 100 years old), Kab ibn al-Ashraf, Ibn Sunayana, Othman bin Moghira, Abi ‘l Huqayq, and not to forget Kinana b. al-Rabi whom he tortured to death to find riches, and afterwards he personally raped Kinana's 17 year old, newlywed wife Safijja (Muhammad was nearly 60 then). A man that initiated mass murder - once some 700 helpless male prisoners, and made all their children and women slaves - one of them, Safijja bint Huayay (and another time Raihana bint Amr), for his own personal use), a rapist with permission from Allah for himself and all his men to rape (“have sexual connections with” to use more polite words) all female slaves and prisoners that were not pregnant (this tells something about Allah, too). A man that initiated war and got 20% or more of all spoils of war, included slaves (though not all for his personal use). And a man lusting for power - easy to see both from the Quran and from Hadith. And a man - and a god - entirely unable to produce one iota of a real proof for the tales. (Sources: Among others: Ibn Hisham and Ibn Ishaq - both most respected by Islam for biographies about Muhammad. Ibn Ishaq‘s “The Life of Muhammad“ is the most respected of the old ones of all Muhammad biographies in Islam - written for the caliph in Baghdad around 750 AD. Plus the Quran and Hadiths – Al-Bukhari and Muslim).
Only this man told the tales in the Quran - tales that on top of all have hundreds and hundreds of mistakes, at least hundreds of loose statements and hundreds of invalid “signs” and “profs” - also they loose statements, claims, and invalid “signs”/”proofs”, all being the hallmarks of cheats and deceivers, and of persons without true arguments.
A good and perfect man, according to Islam. If that is true, we hope never to meet a bad Muslim.
But a man normal people would say was dubious and with a dubious morality. Is a dubious man with dubious morality and who is unable to produce the slightest proof, but for a lot of airy and partly illogical excuses for this inability, and even “signs” and “proofs” without value, is this such a man that tells just and only the undeniable and full truth?
And the only indication Islam has for the reality of Allah is the tales of that kind of a man.
023 31/31a: “- - - His Signs - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah or anything. See 2/39 and 2/99 above.
024 31/31b: “- - - Sign(s) - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
025 31/32: “- - - Our (Allah’s*) Signs - - -“. No omniscient and omnipotent god uses unreliable and/or unproven signs to prove his existence and power.
026 31/34: “Verily, with Allah is full knowledge and he is acquainted (with all things)”. All the mistakes in the Quran prove the opposite - - - or that someone else made the Quran.
Surah 31: At least 26 mistakes + 1 likely mistake.
001 32/2a: “(This is) the revelation of the Book (the Quran) - - -.” It is not a revelation from an omniscient god – too many mistakes. (But perhaps from bad forces or humans?)
002 32/2b: “- - - the Book in which there is no doubt - - -” Because of f. ex. all the mistaken facts and invalid arguments in the Quran, there is very good reason for doubt.
003 32/2c: “- - - the Book (the Quran*) from the Lord (Allah*) of the Worlds.” Wrong. No omniscient god makes a book with that many mistakes, etc., not to mention revere it in his “home” as the Mother Book.
004 32/2d: “- - - the Worlds.” Once more a reference to the 7 Earths in the Quran. Wrong.
005 32/3a: “Nay, it (the Quran*) is the Truth - - -”. No. At best it is partly the truth - too many mistakes, contradictions, etc.
006 32/3b: “Nay, it (the Quran*) is the Truth from thy Lord (Allah*) - - -”. Can a book with that many mistakes and “signs” and “proofs” without logical value really be composed by an omniscient god and be the revered “Mother Book” in Heaven? No.
007 32/4a: “- - - heavens - - -“. Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
008 32/4b: “It is Allah Who has created the heavens (plural and wrong) and the earth, and all between them, in six Days - - -”. One simple and polite expression: Very wrong. And another: A contradiction to the verses in the Quran which tell 2 + 4 + 2 = 8 days.
009 32/5a: “- - - heavens - - -“. Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
010 32/5b: “Verily, a Day in the sight of thy Lord (Allah*) is like a thousand years of your (Mohammad’s*) reckoning”. Is something wrong here as 70/4 says: “- - - unto Him (Allah*) in a day the measure of which is (as) fifty thousand years”? Even if this should be figurative speech, a factor of 50 is much. Another contradiction in reality. Also see 22/47.
011 32/6: “- - - the Knower of all things (Allah*) - - -“. Something is seriously wrong: Allah is not the knower of all things if the Quran is representative for his knowledge.
012 32/7a: “He (Allah*) Who made everything which He created most Good - - -“. Wrong. We could had had better resistance concerning illnesses, our bodies could have been able to make more of the vitamins themselves, our brain could have been better – f.ex. ability to think about 2-3 things at a time, or learning more easily – just to mention a few points. Good, but far from most good.
013 32/7b: “He began the creation of man with (nothing more than) clay”. Wrong. Man was not created from clay. See 6/2.
014 32/8: “And (Allah*) made his (man’s) progeny from a quintessence of the nature of a fluid despised (semen*)”. Only half the truth. Muhammad believed the semen was a kind of seed planted in the woman – he did not know about the egg cell. Any god had known. Then who made the Quran?
00a 32/10: “- - - a Creation renewed?” Muhammad believed we are to be recreated bodily at the Day of Doom. He also argues that if Allah is able to create you from semen (and egg – though unknown to Muhammad) he is able to recreate you bodily after you have become dust and juices. May be – but there is a difference between to create the natural way, and to recreate against strong entropy (a name in physics for caos or something like that) – the logic therefore is lacking.
015 32/15: “- - - Sign(s) - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
016 32/22a: “And who does more wrong than one to whom are recited the Signs of his Lord (Allah*), and who then turns therefrom?” There is nothing wrong in being sceptical to a religion built only on a book with many mistakes and not one single valid proof, but with many “signs” and “proofs” without any value or even 100% wrong, but which may have the effect of cheating uneducated or not intelligent persons - and on top of all told only by a man whose honesty normal, intelligent people would suspect because of the morality of his deeds and some of his words – when a man preaches good, but does and demands many things bad, we any day believe in his deeds and demands more than in his words.
017 32/22b: “- - - Sign(s) - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
*018 32/23: “He (Allah*) Who has made everything which He has created most Good - - -”. Wrong. Far from everything is made most good. To take humans: We could do with seeing a bit more of the electromagnetic spectre, we could do with a body able to produce more vitamins, we could do with better resistance against illnesses, we could do with a body stronger for wear and tear, we could do with stronger bones and other body parts, we could do a lot better with auto regeneration of lost body parts, and lots and lots of more that could have been better and closer to what is “most Good”.
019 32/23: “We did aforetime give the Book to Moses - - -”. Wrong. Those books were according to science written 5 to 8 centuries after Moses was dead. (He got the 10 Commandments and was told the law only, according to the Bible – and being 1000 years older and built on real traditions, the Bible is more reliable on this point. The law itself may be older, but the books no.)
020 32/24: “- - - Sign(s) - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
021 32/26: “- - - Sign(s) - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
Surah 32: At least 21 mistakes + 1 likely mistake.
*001 33/1a: “O Prophet (Muhammad*)!”. But Muhammad was no real prophet. The definition of a prophet is a person that:
A few things Muhammad said, came true – like it has to do for a person saying many things through many years – and most of what he said that did not come true, was forgotten (also this is what normally happens). The main things here are that Muhammad never indicated that anything of what he said was meant as prophesies, he never indicated, not to mention claimed, that he had the gift of prophesying, that it nowhere is documented that all/most of what he said about the future came true (point 2), and finally both he and Islam said and says that there were no miracles connected to Muhammad “except the Quran” – prophesying is a kind of miracle. (This last fact also is a solid proof for that all the miracles connected to Muhammad mentioned in there Hadiths, are made up stories).
Muhammad in reality simply was no real prophet. Perhaps a messenger for someone or something or for himself – or perhaps an apostle – but not a real prophet as he did not have the gift of prophesying. He only “borrowed” that impressive and imposing title. It is up to anyone to guess why.
002 33/1b: “- - - Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.” The mistakes, etc. in the Quran proves the opposite – or that something else is wrong.
003 33/2: “- - - that which comes to thee (the words of the Quran to Muhammad*) by inspiration from thy Lord (Allah*) - - - “. Can a book with that many mistakes and contradictions, that many “signs” and “proofs” without logical value, and absolutely without one single valid proof, told by a man of such a “good” quality (see 31/30) really and surely come from a benevolent, kind, good and omniscient god? Or is anything wrong with Allah? Actually also Islam most reluctantly accepts that there is no proof of Allah, or of Allah’s sending down the Quran or of Islam. A book like “The Message of the Quran” dismisses this with that intellectually it is impossible not to see from the texts of the Quran that the book is made from Allah, and that it is a primitive way of thinking and reasoning, to have to ask for proofs to accept the full truth of the Quran (actually that is to turn reality upside down; one has to be very primitive - and naive - to accept something to be true, just because a rather suspect book repeats and repeats that it must be true - repeat a lie often enough, and people will start to believe it, Goebbels said.)
Nyet - a good English word meaning doubly no: Such a book is from no-one omniscient.
004 33/4a: “Allah has not made for any man two hearts in his (one) body - - -“. Wrong. This really has happened – like almost anything else in the complicated creation that is man.
005 33/4b: “But Allah (the Quran*) tells (you) the truth - - -”. May be Allah does, but the Quran does so only now and then - see all the mistakes and invalid signs and proofs.
006 33/4c: “- - - He (Allah*) shows the (right) Way.” Not possible if the Quran is the words of Allah – too many mistakes, etc. A book that at best is partly true is a bad map.
007. 33/6: “The Prophet (Muhammad*) - - -.” But Muhammad was no real prophet. The definition of a prophet is a person that:
A few things Muhammad said, came true – like it has to do for a person saying many things through many years – and most of what he said that did not come true, was forgotten (also this is what normally happens). The main things here are that Muhammad never indicated that anything of what he said was meant as prophesies, he never indicated, not to mention claimed, that he had the gift of prophesying, that it nowhere is documented that all/most of what he said about the future came true (point 2), and finally both he and Islam said and say that there were no miracles connected to Muhammad “except the Quran” – prophesying is a kind of miracle. (This last fact also is one more solid proof for that all the miracles connected to Muhammad mentioned in there Hadiths, are made up stories).
*Muhammad in reality simply was no real prophet. Perhaps a messenger for someone or something or for himself – or perhaps an apostle – but not a real prophet as he did not have the gift of prophesying. He only “borrowed” that impressive and imposing title. It is up to anyone to guess why.
008 33/8a: “- - - the (custodians (those the Quran recons to be prophets*)) of Truth (the teachings of Islam*) - - -”. The teachings of Islam as represented by the Quran, at best is partly true - see all the mistakes, contradictions, etc. (and invalid “proofs” and “signs“).
009 33/8b: “That (Allah) may question the (custodians (see 33/8a just above*)) of Truth concerning the Truth they (were charged with) - - -”. The Quran says/pretends that the old scriptures of Israel were the same as in the Quran, but that bad Jews distorted them. If that had been true, they at best were charged with bits and pieces of truth - see all mistakes, lofty “explanations” and invalid “signs” and “proofs” in the Quran. (Besides science has proved the Bible - here OT - is not falsified. There may be some mistakes, but no falsifications.)
010 33/13: “- - - the Prophet (Muhammad*) - - -.” But Muhammad was no real prophet. The definition of a prophet is a person that:
A few things Muhammad said, came true – like it has to do for a person saying many things through many years – and most of what he said that did not come true, was forgotten (also this is what normally happens).

Perhaps a messenger for someone or something or for himself – or perhaps an apostle – but not a real prophet as he did not have the gift of prophesying. He only “borrowed” that impressive and imposing title. It is up to anyone to guess why. Also see 30/40 and 30/45.
*011 33/16: “Running away will not profit you, if you are running away from death or slaughter; and even if (ye do escape) , no more than a brief (respite) will ye be allowed to enjoy”. Wrong. It is very easy to prove by means of statistics, that if you get away from a battle, your chances for being alive one year later, greatly improve. Any god had known – but Muhammad did not know statistics. (Actually the claim also is contra-intuitive and against common sense – he had to know they were lies even if he knew no statistics). Besides: Even a short piece of time + another place are divergences from Allah's omniscient previous desition and knowledge.
***012 33/21: “Ye (Muslims*) have in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful pattern (of conduct) for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the final Day - - -“. Wrong.
Thieving/robbing, womanizing, raping, lying, betraying, extorting, suppressing, murdering, hate mongering, war mongering, mass murder, raids to rob and kill and enslave, and wars of aggression – that is no “beautiful pattern” according to any human moral or ethical codex, except in some war religions, included Islam, and it tells volumes about Islam that this man is their greatest hero and shining idol.
013 33/28: “O Prophet (Muhammad*)!” But Muhammad was no real prophet. The definition of a prophet is a person that:
A few things Muhammad said, came true – like it has to do for a person saying many things through many years – and most of what he said that did not come true, was forgotten (also this is what normally happens).

Muhammad in reality simply was no real prophet. Perhaps a messenger for someone or something or for himself – or perhaps an apostle – but not a real prophet as he did not have the gift of prophesying. He only “borrowed” that impressive and imposing title. It is up to anyone to guess why. Also see 30/40 and 30/45.
014 33/30: “- - - the Prophet - - -.” See 33/28 just above and 33/45 below.
015 33/32: “- - - the Prophet - - -“. See 33/28 above and 33/45 below.
016 33/34: “And recite - - - Allah and His Wisdom (= the Quran*) - - -“. There is limited wisdom in a book full of mistakes, and in addition: How to pick what is wisdom – if any – among all the mistakes, twisted words and logic, and even some outright lies?
017 33/38: “- - - the Prophet - - -.” See 33/28 above, and 30/40a + 33/45a below.
018 33/40a: “(Muhammad was*) the Seal of the Prophets - - -.” Muhammad was no real prophet - a messenger or an apostle for somthing or someone perhaps, but no real prophet. See 33/28 above and 33/45 below:
019 33/40b: "- - - th Seal of the Prophets - - -." See 33/40a just above: How could Muhammad be the seal of the prophets (the last and greatest prophet), when he in reality was not a real prophet? – he neither had, nor pretended to have, nor claimed to have the gift of prophesying!!!
020 33/40c: “- - - Allah has full knowledge of all things.” The Quran proves this is not true – lots of mistakes, etc. Or may be it is not Allah that made the Quran?
***021 33/45a: “O Prophet! - - -“. But was Muhammad really a prophet? A prophet is a person that has the gift of being able to make distinct prophesies – and does it. Then there is the difference between the real and the false prophet – because there were lots of false prophets, as it was (and still is) an easy way to make a good living if you are clever. According to the Bible the distinction between a real prophet and a false one, is that the real prophet made prophesies and they came true, whereas what the false ones make of prophesies do not come true (except sometimes by coincidence). Muhammad did not even try to make prophesies or pretend he could make such. There are a few times where what he said happened to come true by coincidence – and were remembered by his followers just because it came true, whereas what he said that did not come true, were not remembered. It is like that with each and every human being; we say and we talk so much, that sometimes something has got to be correct now and then – In Scandinavia they even have a special expression for it: To “gaa troll i ord” – which means something like a troll makes your words come true – but it has no implication of you being clairvoyant or a prophet. Muhammad did not even try to make real prophesies – one of the tree absolute requirements for being a prophet. (And then he did not even test the second requirement: Did his prophesies mostly/always come true?) He simply was too smart to try to show off with things he knew he was unable to do. And then of course he also lacked the other requirements: Prophesies that came true, and prophesies as a part of his mission. Muhammad simply had none of the three requirements for being a prophet:
Muhammad simply was no prophet – he did not have that gift. He just stole or “borrowed” a distinguished title. As a prophet he only was an impostor – an eloquent leader, but unable to do what makes you a prophet: To make prophesies – and prophesies that regularly come true.
***He may have been a messenger, if it is true he had a message. But no prophet. (Islam likes to tell that to be a messenger is something much more than being a prophet. But to be a prophet, you have to have special gifts, whereas to be a messenger simply means that you more or less passively bring messages from one place to another – an errand boy.) But another question in case is: A messenger boy for whom? – for himself? – for other humans? – for some dark forces? Two things are 100% sure:
All the mistaken facts in the Quran that are in accordance with wrong “science” in Arabia (mainly from old Greece and Persia) at the time of Muhammad, clearly indicates that the Quran is made by one or more humans there and then. But if there was a god involved, the inhuman surahs from Medina most clearly show he definitely was not a good one. - - - But may be a devil in disguise?
022 33/45b: “Truly We (Allah*) have sent thee (Muhammad*) - - -“. Muhammad was not sent by Allah if Allah was a good god – his (Muhammad’s*) teachings were too bloody and too inhuman to represent a good god - and with too many mistekes, etc. (but they made a good platform of power for Muhammad). See also 33/45a just above.
023 33/45c: “- - - Glad Tidings - - -“. Wrong. Islam is no glad tiding, except for the ones not suppressed and could rob and steal and rape and become rich – and really glad only for the ones near the top of the pyramid. It often is like that in war religions, especially when made to fit a strong and charismatic leader (and his successors), though many war religions have not been as hypocritical as Islam in trying to make its members and others believe it is good and just and benevolent. And well, it may have been glad tidings for the minor percent of people that needs a religion to lean on (the exact percentage is not known, but science indicates 5 – 10 %, though some more in difficult times.) In Islam these small percents have usurped all the power and force everybody not only to live, but also to think and blive like themselves.
00a 33/46: “(Muhammad be*) as a lamp spreading light.” Did Muhammad spread most light or most darkness? A rhetoric question needing no answer.
024 33/47: “- - - Glad Tidings - - -“. See 33/45a and 33/45c above.
025 33/50a: “O, Prophet! - - -.” But Muhammad was no real prophet. The definition of a prophet is a person that:
A few things Muhammad said, came true – like it has to do for a person saying many things through many years – and most of what he said that did not come true, was forgotten (also this is what normally happens). The main things here are that Muhammad never indicated that anything of what he said was meant as prophesies, he never indicated, not to mention claimed, that he had the gift of prophesying, that it nowhere is documented that all/most of what he said about the future came true (point 2), and finally both he and Islam said and say that there were no miracles connected to Muhammad “except the Quran” – prophesying is a kind of miracle. (This last fact also is a solid proof for that all the miracles connected to Muhammad mentioned in there Hadiths, are made up stories).
Muhammad in reality simply was no real prophet. Perhaps a messenger for someone or something or for himself – or perhaps an apostle – but not a real prophet as he did not have the gift of prophesying. He only “borrowed” that impressive and imposing title. It is up to anyone to guess why. Also see 30/40 and 30/45.
026 33/50b: “- - - to the Prophet (Muhammad*) - - -.” See 33/40a, 33/45a, and 33/50a just above.
027 33/50c: “- - - if the Prophet (Muhammad*) - - -.” See 33/40a, 33/45a, and 33/50a above.
28 33/53a: “- - - the Prophet’s (Muhammad’s*) house - - -.” See 33/40a, 33/45a, and 33/50 above.
029 33/53b: “- - - the Prophet (Muhammad*) - - -.” See 33/40a, 33/45a, and 33/50a above.
030 33/58: “O Prophet! (Muhammad*) - - -.” See 33/40a, 33/45a, and 33/50 above.
00b 33/60: “- - - those (non-Muslims, hypocrites, etc.*) in whose heart is a disease - - -“. A good slogan that you meet many places in the Quran: If you are not a good Muslim, that means you are sick. But like many slogans it may be a twisted truth – or simply a lie.
****031 33/61-62: “They (non-Muslims, hypocrites, etc.*) shall have a curse on them: whenever they are found, they shall be sized and slain (without mercy) (‘no compulsion in religion’ 2/256*). (Such was) the praxis (approved) of Allah among those who lived aforetime (f. ex. Jews and Christians*). Muhammad claimed that Allah was just another name for Yahweh – but try to find an order telling that all non-Christians shall be murdered “without mercy” in NT and in the new covenant (f. ex. Luke 22/20 in NT) (a covenant Muslims never mention) and NT that Christianity is built on . Oh, we know very well that persons from Christian countries have done bad things, but that was in spite of their religion – and they were not really Christians deep down – and not in accordance with, or even because of the religion, like the case often is with the “religion of peace” (Muslim-speak for camouflaging the “religion of war”) Islam.
***032 33/62: “(Such was) the practice (kill non-believers without mercy*) (approved) of Allah among those who lived aforetime: no change wilt thou find in the practice (approved) of Allah.” Muhammad here refers to the Mosaic and the Christian religions (and he sets Allah = Yahweh) when he talks about “those who lived aforetime”. But even though OT is hard against many non-Jews, the war and the killing was to get room for living for the Jews, not wanton murdering just because they were not Jews or for plunder and slaves. And in NT: Try to find a single place saying that non-believers shall be murdered just because they have another religion – such an order simply does not exist. The Quran here actually is a 180 degree contradiction to the very core of the teachings of Jesus.
Any god had been lying if he said this, but Muhammad did not know the Bible well, so may be – just may be – he thought he spoke the truth. In any case it was a good statement for a warlord trying to secure and enlarge his platform of power. (This surah is believed to be from 627 – 629 AD – before he had gained absolute control by conquering Mecca.)
033 33/72a: “We (Allah*) even offered the Trust to the Heavens (plural and wrong*) and (the planet*) Earth and the Mountains, but they refused to undertake it - - -”. Neither the planet (or disc like Muhammad believed) Earth, nor its mountains has the brain or consciousness to accept or refuse anything. A fairy tale.
034 33/72b: “- - - heavens - - -“. Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
Surah 33: At least 34 mistakes + 2 likely mistakes.
001 34/1a: “- - - heavens - - -“. Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
002 34/1b: “- - - He (Allah*) is full of Wisdom - - -“. Well, his words in the Quran proves that something is wrong, because that book is full of mistakes, contradictions, twisted arguments, claims based on thin air, invalid logic and even some outright lies (like “miracles will make no-one believe anyhow”.)
**00a 34/3a: “But most surely, (I – Muhammad) by my Lord (Allah*) - - -“. The expression “by my Lord” here is an oath, but then Muhammad very clearly and several times (Hadiths) said that even tough it was not a good thing normally to break an oat if you had meant it when you said it (if not it was/is more or less ok.), it was no big sin to break it if you had a reason – yes, in some cases it even is the right thing to do. This – a part of what is often called al-Taqiyya or the lawful lie - is a problem even today: When can you believe what a Muslim says and when not? Actually it also is a problem for Muslims; they have no reasonably sure way to strengthen their words when they need to do so, because even an oat is not reliable – with clear precedence from Muhammad (he f.ex. promised an unarmed peace delegation from Khaibar safe return - - - and murdered all of them except one who managed to get away (29 out of 30). Add to this the slogan “War is betrayal” to quote Muhammad in Ibn Ishaq.)
003 34/3b: “- - - heavens - - -.” Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
004 34/5: “- - - Our (Allah’s*) Signs - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah or anything. See 2/39 and 2/99above.
00b 34/6a: “- - - the (Revelation (the Quran*)) - - -“. If it is a revelation, it at least is not from an omniscient god – too many mistakes, etc., and not from any good powers (god or spirit) – too much stealing, suppression, rape, hate, blood, murder, war, inhumanity, etc.
005 34/6b: “- - - the (Revelation (the Quran*)) sent down to thee (Muhammad*) by thy Lord (Allah*) - - -“. The Quran is not from any omniscient god – too many mistakes, etc. Neither is it from a good god – war religions normally are not: Too much inhumanity, injustice and terror.
006 34/6c: “- - - that is the Truth - - -.” Too many things “talks” against the claim that it is the truth that the Quran is from Heaven – Islam will have to prove it to make us believe it.
007 34/6d: “- - - it (the Quran*) guides to the Path (to Heaven*) - - -.” A book with that doubtful contents impossibly can be a god guide – Islam will have to prove it to make us believe it.
00c 34/8: “- - - those who believe not - - - are - - - in the farthest Error.” The question is: Who is likely to be in the farthest error; he/she that believes naively and blindly in a book where not a thing is proved or documented except that much of its contents are wrong and twisted and invalid and some of it even lies, and a book that is told by a man of very dubious character, but with lust for womwn and power? Or he/she that tries to find out if his tales can be true or not– and then leaves it if they find it is a made up religion (or start looking for a true religion, if such one exists). A made up religion has no value whether another real religion exists or not (but of course it is most serious if such a true religion exists, and one is denied the possibility to search for it. Then the possible next life may be troublesome).
008 34/9a: “- - - We (Allah*) could cause a piece of the sky to fall upon them.” The sky as we see it is an optical illusion (Muhammad believed it was something material that the stars was fastened to). How can a piece of an optical illusion - a mirage so to say - fall down upon someone?
Muslims tend to “explain” this with that the Quran talks about a shooting star or similar. But the book other places talks about such stars, and even though it believes it to be ordinary stars, it very clearly knows the difference between this and the sky. There is no doubt it is talking about a piece of the sky itself.
009 34/9b: “- - - Sign(s) - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
010 34/12a: “And to Solomon (We (Allah*) made) the Wind (obedient) - - -.” Islam will have to prove that this is not just one more storey “borrowed” from a legend/fairy tale.
011 34/12b: “- - - and We (Allah*) made a Font of molten brass to flow for him (Solomon*) - - -“.
The claim simply is a fairy tale, perhaps inspired by the temple's brass “sea” the Bible tells about – a round metal vessel filled with water, 10 cubits (4.5 m) diameter and 5 cubits (2.25 m) high (1. Kings 7/23).
**012 34/14a: “Then, when We (Allah*) decreed (Solomon’s) death, nothing showed them (the surroundings included jinns) his death, except a little worm of the earth, which kept (slowly) gnawing away his staff - - -”. Wrong:
**013 34/14b: “Then, when We (Allah*) decreed (Solomon’s) death, nothing showed them (see 34/14a just above) his death, except a little worm from the earth, which kept (slowly) gnawing away his staff; so when he fell down - - -”. Wrong: It would take days for a small worm to weaken the staff enough for Solomon to fall - may be weeks.
A fairy tale simply.
014 34/19: “- - - Sign(s) - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
015 34/22: “- - - heavens - - -“. Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
016 34/24: “- - - heavens - - -“. Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
017 34/28a: “We (Allah*) have not sent thee (Muhammad) - - -”. Was Muhammad really sent by an omniscient and omnipotent god? As you see if you read this chapter, there are serious reasons for doubt. (See f. ex. 41/12). So serious that Islam will have to prove it, not only rely on demanding blind belief built on hundreds of mistakes and twisted logic, etc. – told by a man of very dubious character and morality, but with a taste for power and with religion his platform of power.
00d 34/28b: “We (Allah*) have not sent thee (Muhammad*) but as a universal (Messenger) - - -“. If he was universal, why then is everything only from Arabia? – even when correct information existed other places (f. ex the form of the Earth) in the Quran you find wrong knowledge. And the made up and wrong legends and fairy tales that circulated in Arabia? No god had done such mistakes as using them instead of using correct information.
018 34/28c: “- - - glad tidings - - -“. See 33/45c.
019 34/38: “- - - Sign(s) - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
020 34/43a “- - - Our (Allah’s) Clear Signs - - -“. There exists not one single clear sign proving Allah in all the Quran. See 2/99.
021 34/43b: “And the Unbelievers say of the Truth (the Quran*) - - -”. The Quran at best represents partly the truth - see all the mistakes, invalid statements, etc.
022 34/45: “And their (the unbelievers*) predecessors rejected (the Truth) - - -”. See f. ex. 34/43 just above, and many others - like 49/75.
***023 34/47: “No reward do I (Muhammad*) ask of you - - -“. - - - except absolute power and plenty of women. Yes, and 20% of all stolen/looted valuables and slaves – 100% if there is no fight – and poor-tax (on average ca. 2.5% of everything you own each and every year) as I need money for bribes, for strengthening my religion and platform of power, and for war and myself and my large family, and some for the poor.
024 34/48: “Verily my Lord (Allah*) cast the (mantle of) the Truth (the Quran) - - -”. See f. ex. 34/43 just above, and many others, like 40/75 or 41/12.
025 34/49: “The Truth (the Quran*) has arrived - - -”. See f. ex. 34/43 above, and many others.
*****026 34/50: “If I (Muhammad*) am astray, I only stray to the loss of my own soul - - -“.
This is one more place where Muhammad knew ha was lying – he was too intelligent not to see this was wrong.
027 34/52: “We (Muslims*) do believe (now) in the (truth) (the Quran*) - - -“. The Quran at best is partly true – too many mistakes, invalid claims + invalid logic - - - and some outright lies.
Surah 34: At least 27 mistakes + 4 likely mistakes.
001 35/1a: “- - - Allah, who created (out of nothing) the heavens (plural and wrong*) and the earth - - -”. In a way it is nearly correct that the heaven as we see it, is made of nearly nothing, as an optical illusion is made from photons (but Muhammad was very wrong all the same, as he/the Quran believed the heavens consisted of something material). But the Earth definitely is not made from nothing - not even if one refers to Big Bang.
002 35/1b: “- - - heavens - - -.” Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
003 35/2: “(Allah is*) Full of Wisdom.” Not if the Quran is representative for his knowledge and wisdom – too many mistakes, etc.
*004 35/3a: “- - - how then are ye deluded away from the Truth?” The big question: Who are deluded - the Muslims or the non-Muslims? The Quran has so many mistakes and other blemishes that to say it is made or revered by or sent down from a god, is an insult to that god. And if the Quran is wrong about Allah, the Muslims are even more deluded.
005 35/3b: “- - - how then are ye deluded away from the Truth (the Quran*)?” Is it the truth? At least not the only and the full truth. Too many things are wrong.
00a 35/5a: “Certainly the promise of Allah is true.” If he exists and if he is omniscient and if he is omnipotent, it is to be hoped it is so. But it is not possible from the Quran to know what is true or if anything is true at all - too many mistakes, too many contradictions, too many invalid “signs” and “proofs”, and too many tales and statements built on nothing or on other statements resting just on air.
*00b 35/5b: “- - - (not) let the Chief Deceiver deceive you about Allah.” The Quran here talks about the Devil. But one question: Muhammad is the absolute and unquestioned chief of the Muslims. If Islam is a false religion – is Muhammad then the Chief Deceiver? The question is not ridiculous – it is sure it is neither made by an omniscient god (too much is wrong in the Quran), nor by a good god (too much dishonesty, discrimination, inhumanity, hate, blood and war), and then the alternatives are: Made by man – rational or ill (f. ex. TLE - Temporal Lobe Epilepsy - will explain much) - or made by some dark forces – f. ex. the Devil dressed up like Gabriel.
006 35/9: “- - - and revive the earth therewith (with rain) after its death - - -”. Land that can be revived by only adding rain is not dead. It is alive with seeds and perhaps roots.
007 35/11a: “And Allah did create you from dust - - -”. Wrong - man was not created from dust. See 6/2. We may add that the Quran some places have a list of the step-by-step development of humans. The first step generally is the creation of man (like here). Next step is the semen - Mohammad does not seem to have known about the egg cell - like in 35/11b just below. Next steps are the start and development of the foetus - but bones come before the meat, wrong. Then sometimes follows birth and development of the child and the man.
008 35/11b: “And Allah did create you from dust, then from a sperm-drop - - -.” See 35/11a just above. In addition; no one is made from a sperm drop - one always is made from (a) sperm (cell) + an egg cell. A god had known this, but Muhammad not, as an egg cell for one thing is nearly impossible to see in the blood and gore of a carcass, and not least: Even if he saw it, he would not know it was something special.
009 35/12: “He (Allah*) merges Night into Day, and he merges Day into Night - - -“. The alternation between day and night happens because the Earth spins around, swimming in the sunshine in space. Muhammad very often takes natural phenomena and calls them proofs/signs for/from Allah. It is untrue unless Islam first really proves both that this is done by a god, and that this god is Allah. But normally Islam proves nothing – it only claims and states and demands blind and naïve belief without documentation - - - even in the face of solid proofs for that something is very wrong.
010 35/14: “And none (O man!) can tell you (the Truth) like the One (Allah) - - -”. This may be true if Allah exists. But the truth as told in the Quran, at best is partly the truth - mistakes, contradictions, invalid “signs” and “proofs”, etc.
*00c 35/24a: “Verily We (Allah*) have sent thee (Muhammad*) - - -”. Verily Muhammad and the Quran repeats and repeats and repeats this (most often in the words “Allah and his Messenger”) - worthy of a certain German “Minister of Propaganda” between 1933 and 1945 we think it was, a very honest and reliable (?) man named Joseph Goebbels, whose slogan was: “Repeat a lie often enough, and people will start to believe it”. Here it has been repeated zillions of times through the time, and millions of Muslims believe in it - but then no Muslim society has ever trained their subjects in critical thinking, or for thinking realism. On the contrary: Muslim societies normally have trained them in the sick kind of thinking that is believing that most acts and most information are lies that gives reason for conspiracy theories + blind belief in Islam and the mullah and the imam.
Perhaps the words in the quotation are true. But most likely they are not. One thing is all the mistakes in the Quran that tells it is not reliable and most likely is invented. More serious is that in spite of being asked again and again and again Muhammad was unable to prove anything at all - one hallmark of a lie – or more lies - is that proofs are impossible. One have to use fast-talk and evasions, both of which there are plenty of in the Quran. And when there is a question of proving anything? – there still is plenty of fast-talk in Islam.
*But worst of all are all the invalid claims and statements, and the “signs”, “proofs” and fast-talk - those are the hallmarks of any smart cheater or false prophet that for natural reasons are unable to produce proofs.
011 35/24b: “Verily We (Allah*) have sent thee (Muhammad*) in truth - - -”. We are back to the literally age old question (the serious questions that started around 610 AD - but Muhammad in the end was military the strongest) about the Quran: What - if anything - is true, and what is not true in the Quran? (Nowadays it is easy to see that at least many of the tales and many of the statements are untrue).
012 35/24c: “- - - Glad Tidings - - -.” Wrong. Islam is no glad tiding, except for the ones not suppressed – and really glad only for the ones looking for booty and slaves and stolen riches, and not least for the ones near the top of the pyramid that got – and get – a lot of power in addition. It often is like that in war religions, especially when made to fit a strong and charismatic leader (and his successors), though many war religions have not been as hypocritical as Islam in trying to make its members and others believe it is good and just and humane and benevolent. And well, it may have been glad tidings for the percentage of people that need a religion to lean on – at least for the possible ones where the old pagan religion was not strong enough.
**013 35/24d: “- - - and there never was a people, without a warner (a prophet for Allah*) having lived among them (in the past) - - -”. As said before: Neither in archaeology, nor in architecture, nor in art, nor in history, nor in literature, nor in folklore, nor in folk tales - not even in fairy tales, do we find a single trace of any teaching of monotheism, with two well known (Yahweh and Allah) and two or three less known exceptions (Pharaoh Akn-Aton, praying to the sun, an Arab sect around 600 BC - likely inspired by the two monotheistic religions in the area – plus the Zoroastrians after a fashion). Some places one or a few gods dominated, but no monotheism.
124ooo (or more - the number is said to be symbolic, as there may have been more) prophets had to have left some traces somewhere, if the tale was true.
This statement simply is not true. If Islam still insists, they will have to produce strong proofs. “Strong statements demands strong evidence”, to quote science. And not just loose claims, invalid “signs” and “proofs”, and more loose statements like Islam normally produces.
014 35/25a: “- - - Clear Signs - - -“. See 2/99.
*015 35/25b: “- - - the Book of Enlightenment (the Quran*) - - -”. A book with so many mistakes and so many invalid “signs” and “proofs” is too unreliable to be any kind of enlightenment. Actually one single mistake or one single false “proof” would prove the Quran was not from an omniscient god - and here are hundreds (actually unbelievable may be 3ooo if you count all kinds of wrongs).
*016 35/28: “Those truly fear Allah - - - who have knowledge - - -“. The fact is that it is more common to be religious if you have little knowledge and/or intelligence (but of course this is a good way of flattering and attracting the naïve and the uneducated). And the Quran also proves that somewhere there was/is a huge lack of correct knowledge – and consequently that something is seriously wrong with the book and hence with the religion.
017 35/31a: “That which We (Allah*) have revealed to thee (Muhammad/people*) of the Book (the Quran*) - - -”. Can an omniscient god reveal a book with that many mistakes, contradictions, and invalid “signs” and “proofs”? No.
018 35/31b: ”That which We (Allah*) have revealed to thee of the Book (the Quran*) is the Truth - - -”. See 35/31a just above. And also: With that many mistakes, etc. it at best is parts and bits of the truth.
019 35/31c: “- - - (the Quran is*) confirming what was (revealed) before it (= the Bible, the Torah, etc.*)”. Wrong. See 29/46, and others.
020 35/33: “- - - bracelets of gold - - -“. Well, another place (76/21) it was said they were from silver. A minor contradiction – but a contradiction.
021 35/38: “- - - heavens - - -“. Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
022 35/40a: “- - - heavens - - -“. Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
023 35/40b: “- - - clear (evidence) - - -“. There is no clear or valid evidence for anything concerning Allah in all the Quran. See 2/99.
024 35/41: “- - - heavens - - -“. Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
025 35/42: “- - - their flight (from righteousness (= the teachings of Muhammad*)) - - -”. Any teaching based on a book containing large numbers of mistakes and invalid “proofs” and “signs”, and on top off all is only told by one single man of dubious morality and character (womanising, rape, robbery, extortion, murder and mass murder - and lust for power - is well documented by Islam itself, though glossed over) - such a teaching does not represent righteousness unless this is really proved. This even more so that it strongly incites to hate, suppression, killing and war - not very righteous or good.
026 35/44a: “Do they (people*) not travel through the earth, and see what was the End of those before them - - -?” In and around Arabia there were ruins here and there. Muhammad claimed – as normal without any documentation as only non-Muslims need to prove anything – that each and every one of them was results of Allah’s anger because of disbelief etc. in Islam. Wrong. In a dry and harsh land inhabited by warring tribes there were plenty of other reasons for empty houses and ruins.
027 35/44b: “- - - heavens - - -“. Plural and wrong. See 2/22.
Surah 35: At least 27 mistakes + 3 likely mistakes.
001 36/2: “By the Quran, full of Wisdom - - -”. What goes for righteousness in this case also goes for wisdom - see 35/42 and 49/75.
00a 36/3: “Thou (Muhammad*) art indeed one of the messengers - - -.” Only 2 things are sure:
*00b 36/5a: “It (the Quran*) is a Revelation - - -“. Well, in case from whom? – not from an omniscient and/or good god (see 36/3 just above and 36/5b just below). Perhaps from himself or some other humans? (cfr. how well the religion fitted as a platform of power for him and for helping him also in his private troubles - in what pretends to be the Mother Book, revered by Allah) – or by some dark forces? (cfr. the inhumanity, dishonesty, hate, blood, war, etc. – it fits f. ex. a devil very well – and it makes it nearly impossible for Muslims to search for a true religion if such one exists, if Islam is wrong - - - also this is nice for a devil and his wish to populate a possible hell).
002 36/5b: “It (the Quran*) is a revelation sent down by him (Allah*)”. Once more: Can it really be sent down by an omniscient god, with all those mistakes and invalid “signs” and “proofs”? Never.
003 36/6: “- - - Sign(s) - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah or anything. See 2/39 above.
004 36/12a: “- - - of all things we have taken account (in the Quran*) - - -”. Not all things by far are taken account of in the Quran. Look f. ex. at all the extra paragraphs which are necessary in Muslim laws.
005 36/12b: “ - - - in a clear Book (the Quran*) (of evidence) - - -”. A book with that many mistakes and invalid “signs” and “proofs“ gives little clear evidence.
006 36/17: “- - - the clear Message (the Quran*).” A book that full of mistakes, contradictions (f. ex. man has free will v/ Allah decides everything – even Islam is unable to explain that, “but it has to be true, because it is said by Allah (in the Quran*)”!!!) according to “The Message of the Quran” - invalid arguments and ditto logic give no clear message.
00c 36/24: “(If I took another god*) I would indeed - - - be in manifest Error.” Not if that god exists – and especially not if Allah is a made up god (he after all was taken over from the pagan Arab gods by Muhammad who just renamed him from al-Lah to Allah, and even took over most of the pagan Arab religious rituals, too.)
007 36/33a: “A Sign - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah or anything. See 2/39 above.
008 36/33b: “A sign for them is the earth that is dead: We (Allah*) do give it life - - - “. From other parts of the Quran, we know it here means “by adding rain”. But a land that comes to life just by adding rain is not dead - it is alive with seeds and perhaps roots.
*009 36/36: “- - - Allah, Who created in pairs all things - - -”. Wrong. Only multi-cellular plants and animals are in pairs - and far from all of those, too. No uni-cellular life exists in pairs - and they are far more abundant both in numbers and species. Besides there is quite a number of multi-cellular beings that propagates asexually and thus do not exist in pairs – up to and included sponges, etc., some fish and some reptiles.
010 36/37: “- - - Sign(s) - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
011 36/38a: “And the sun runs his course for a period determined to him - - -”. The sun runs no course as related to the Earth, though that was the accepted astronomy of that time. It is the Earth that revolves – around itself and around the sun. See 36/38 b just below.
*00d 36/38b: The normal translation of 36/38a – see 36/38a just above - (Arab: “li-mustaqarrin laha”) is (translated from Swedish): “And the sun runs to its place of rest” which is way out wrong. But as the old Arab written language far from was exact, Muhammad Ali’s transcription is a possible, if less likely one – as is “(to) the end point for the course which it follows” or - inserting other vowels among the written consonants (in old Arab only the consonants were written) and getting the expression “la mustaqrra laha” – “it runs its course without resting” (Abd Allah ibn Mas’ud/Zamakhshari). Or “The sun runs its course to a certain extent, then it stops” (Baydawi: “The Lights of Revelation” p.585).
Next time you meet a Muslim seriously telling you how exact the Quran always is, do not laugh – it is impolite.
012 36/39: “- - - till she (the Moon*) returns like the old (and withered) lower part of a date-stalk (that takes a crescent form*)”. Wrong. The moon does not become a crescent - it only looks like that, and even Mohammad could have seen that, if he had been observant: Within the circle indicated by the crescent, and that in reality is covered by the moon, you never see a star. Any god had known this. Muhammad obviously not. Who made the Quran?
013 36/40a: “It is not permitted for the Sun to catch up the Moon - - -”. It is not physical possible for the sun to catch up the moon - not in some 5 billion years (then it perhaps will happen - - - if the Earth is gobbled up by the sun). A god had known.
**014 36/40b: “- - - nor can the Night outstrip (be longer than*) the Day - - -”. Wrong. At high latitudes the night always are longer than the days in winter. A little past the Arctic Circles (a little past (towards equator) because of refraction – bending of light in the atmosphere) the night even lasts 24 hours a day for a shorter or longer time each year – for how long depends on the latitude. The Quran has a strong tendency to pick natural phenomena and tell they prove or are signs for Allah, without first proving that Allah really is the reason for them. For one thing such “proofs” are entirely invalid. For another: It each time comes to our minds that (trying) to use invalid statements and “proofs” is a hallmark for cheats and swindlers. And for an ironic third: Sometimes the “proofs” even turns out to be really laughingly wrong. And not least: If you need to use made up arguments, that means you have no real arguments.
015 36/40c: “- - - each (night and day*) swims along in (its own) orbit (according to Law).” Wrong. Night and day are constants - they just seem to move because Earth revolves in the sunshine. Any physicist will laugh from this – night has a fixed position determined by the sun, and only seems to move because of the spin of the Earth. It has not the faintest similarity to an orbit.
It is a nice extra touch that they swim along in orbits “according to Law”.
016 36/41a: “- - - Sign(s) - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
*017 36/41b: “And a Sign for them (humans*) is that We (Allah*) bore their race (through the Flood) in the loaded Ark - - -”. No wooden boat could possibly carry the load the Quran says: Noah + his people + 2 of every animal + food and fodder for a long time (the Quran says nothing about how long, the Bible indicates more than a year). Even Muslims today see that this is very wrong, and try to explain it away by saying that only domesticated animals was meant, but that is not what the Quran tells. Also: Islam tells that the ark stranded on a mountain in Syria - the 2089 m high Mt. Al-Jedi - (not Ararat in Turkey), but if water was that high, where did the animals not represented in the ark survive? - and for that long (the Quran as mentioned does not specify, but the Bible says some 16 months)?
018 *36/42: “And We (Allah*) have created for them (people*) similar (vessels) (similar to the ark*) - - -“. We have never heard that Allah built boats.
019 36/46a: “- - - Sign - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
020 36/46b: “- - - Signs - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
021 36/64: “- - - for that ye (the “unbelievers”*) (persistently) rejected (truth).” The “truth” in the Quran at best is just partly the truth. Too many mistakes, etc.
022 36/69a: “We (Allah*) have not instructed (the Prophet) - - -.” But Muhammad was no real prophet. The definition of a prophet is a person that:
A few things Muhammad said, came true – like it has to do for a person saying many things through many years – and most of what he said that did not come true, was forgotten (also this is what normally happens). The main things here are that Muhammad never indicated that anything of what he said was meant as prophesies, he never indicated, not to mention claimed, that he had the gift of prophesying, that it nowhere is documented that all/most of what he said about the future came true (point 2), and finally both he and Islam said and say that there were no miracles connected to Muhammad “except the Quran” – prophesying is a kind of miracle. (This last fact also is a solid proof for that all the miracles connected to Muhammad mentioned in there Hadiths, are made up stories).
Muhammad in reality simply was no real prophet. Perhaps a messenger for someone or something or for himself – or perhaps an apostle – but not a real prophet as he did not have the gift of prophesying. He only “borrowed” that impressive and imposing title. It is up to anyone to guess why. Also see 30/40 and 30/45.
*023 36/69b: “We (Allah*) have not instructed (the Prophet) in Poetry - - -.” As for Muhammad not being versed in making poetry, this is a claim used by Islam as a “proof” for that the Quran is not made by Muhammad. But the claim is invalid – you do not have to be versed on poetry to spin tales like in the Quran. Actually the often naivistic style and helpless repetitions, etc, indicates that it is not made by a good poet or essayist. And besides the Quran is not poetry, but prose.
024 36/69c: “- - - this is no less than a Message and a Quran - - -.” At least it is far less than a true message and a true Quran which the Quran itself proves – far too many mistakes, twisted arguments and too much invalid logic + some clear lies. Etc.
025 36/69d: “- - - a Quran making things clear”. A book with that many mistakes, contradictions, misleading “signs” and “proofs”, etc. makes things confused rather than clear.
026 36/70: “- - - reject (truth (the Quran*)) - - -“. The Quran at most is partly true – too many mistakes, etc.
027 36/77: “Doth not man see that it is We (Allah*) Who created him from sperm?” Once more a natural phenomenon that the Quran says proves Allah, without first proving that it really is Allah that makes it. Besides: Humans were not created by sperm. Humans/a man were created from one sperm cell + an egg cell. But Muhammad did not know this - a god had known.
028 36/81: “- - - heavens - - -.” Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
Surah 36: At least 28 mistakes + 4 likely mistakes.
001 37/5: “- - - heavens - - -.” Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
***002 37/6: “We (Allah*) have indeed decked the lower heaven (in) stars - - -”. The Quran tells this in some varieties some places in the book: The stars are fastened to the lowest of the 7 heavens (which also means that the heavens have to be made from something material - if not it was not possible to fasten the stars there). The stars also are lower than the moon, - other places in the Quran also tell that the moon are in between the heavens - in addition to that it here is said the stars are fastened to the lowest heaven. It actually is borrowed from Greek and/or Persian astronomy at the time of Muhammad and before (a fact Ial- any baby god had known better. Muslims generally tries to evade questions about this - or gives you a lot of diffuse words (and never tells it is from local, wrong astronomy). We have hardly ever seen a reasonable – not correct, but at least logically reasonable - explanation of this, except the standard one when something is so wrong that even “explanations” are not possible: It is “figurative”, "allegorical” - or something similar - explanations or stories.
***003 37/6+7: “We (Allah*) have decked the lower heaven with beauty (in) the stars - (For beauty) and for guard against all obstinate rebellious evil spirits.” See first 37/6 just above. Then: The Quran does not know the difference between a star and a shooting star, and tells that the stars are used for shooting stars for chasing away evil spirits that wants to spy or listen to what is said in Heaven. The shooting stars are used as weapons in such cases. It should not be necessary to say that this is wrong at least to the 25th – 30th order = the difference between the mass of a star and of a shooting star. Also see verse 8.
***004 37/10: “Except such (evil spirits*) as snatch away something by stealth, and they are pursued by a flaming fire, of piercing brightness”. See 36/6 and 36/6+7 just above. Here it is told how spirits are chased away by a shooting star - not a red flame, but a piercing brightness. No reason to tell this is horribly wrong.
005 37/11: “Them (here it is not clear what beings, but as Jinns are made from fire, it must be humans*) have We (Allah*) created out of sticky clay”. Wrong. For one thing science tells that man is not created - he evolved. For another thing: Not in any case is he made out of clay. See 6/2.
**00a 37/16: “When we die, and become dust and bones, shall we (then) be raised up again - - -“. The Quran and Islam teaches that at the day of Doom every human being is resurrected bodily – Allah gathers all the bones and dust and fluids you were made of, and puts it back together to make your earthly, old body, except rejuvenated if you died old (nothing is said about the age and maturity of resurrected babies and children) – to Hell if you lived a bad life and to a Earth-like, but luxurious, life in a 1 to 4 star Heaven if you have been good – and depending on how good and how much of a warrior you have been – during your life on Earth. Believe it who wants – and remember that in reality Allah decided everything you did on Earth (a fact even Islam is unable to explain how fits the claims of the free will of man, and thus the justice of sending him to Hell if Allah has decided his acts on Earth.)
006 37/21: “- - - truth ye (once) denied - - -”. The “truth” as told in the Quran, at best can be partly true - too many mistakes, invalid “signs” and “proofs”, etc.
007 37/37a: “He (Muhammad*) has come with the (very) Truth (the Quran*)”. The Quran is at best bits and pieces of the truth - too many mistakes and invalid “signs” and “proofs”.
*008 37/37b: “- - - and he (Muhammad*) confirms (the Messages of) the Messengers (before him (= from Jews and Christians*))”. Wrong. There are too many and too fundamental differences between especially NT and the Quran. The Quran is not confirming the Bible – the fundamental differences between the teachings simply are too big – especially compared to NT and the “new covenant” Jesus brought. See 29/46 and others.
009 37/52: “- - - the Truth (of the Message (= the Quran*))”. See 376 37/37 and many others.
010 37/76: “- - - and We (Allah*) delivered him (Noah*) and his people from the Great Calamity (the flood*).” Wrong – according to the Quran one of his (according to the Bible) only 3 sons drowned (not so in the Bible). Similar claim in 21/76.
011 37/87: “- - - the Worlds.” The Quran tells there are 7 (flat) Earths, and Hadiths adds that they are placed one above the other, and also mention their names. Wrong.
*00b 37/97: “They (people*) said, ‘Build him (Abraham) a furnace, and throw him into the blazing fire!” You are free to believe this happened to Abraham – but beware that the story is “borrowed” from a tale named “Midrash Rabbah” (Muhammad may also have been inspired by the story about Daniel and his friends in the OT).
00c 37/114: “Again (of old) We Allah*) bestowed Our favour on Moses and Aaron - - -“. “The Message of the Quran” is quick to add that it was not because they were progeny of Abraham, but because of their own quality. What the Quran never mentions, what Islam never mentions, what Muslims never mention, is that Israel’s (belief in a) special contact with Yahweh, is not – repeat not - because of they had an ancestor named Abraham some thousands years ago. The reason was and is the covenant that was made between Israel and Yahweh according to OT – and renewed several times through the ages. It is good propaganda to bully them for believing Abraham who lived some 4ooo years ago (if he ever lived) is a part-out card to Heaven. But it is pretty dishonest to make this lie, and to never mention the real reason for the Jew’s belief: The covenant – broken and maltreated, but never lifted or ended. (In the same way as it is pretty dishonest never to mention the “new covenant” made via Jesus in NT – but then Muslims are obliged to use al-Taqiyya (the lawful lie) or “Kitman” (the lawful half-truth) if necessary, when it comes to defending or promoting Islam – no matter whether Islam is a false religion or not).
012 37/117: ”And We (Allah*) gave them (Moses and Aaron) the Book - - -” Wrong. According to the Bible Moses received the 10 Commandments and in addition was told the Law (in reality part of the Book of Moses) – which he himself wrote down later. Nothing else. More essential here is that science tells that what is called the “Book of Moses” was written centuries after the time of Moses.
*013 37/142: “Then the big fish swallowed him (Jonah*)”. Wrong.
A fairy tale, even if this story is “borrowed” from the Bible. (There are some mistakes also in the Bible).
014 37/144: “He (Jonah*) would certainly have remained inside the fish till the day of Resurrection”. The fish would not live that long, but that aside: See 37/142 just above.
015 37/145: “But We (Allah*) cast him (Jonah*) forth on the naked shore in a state of sickness.” Something is wrong, because another place in the Quran the book tells he was cast ashore on an ok place (because of Allah’s mercy).
00d 37/152: “’Allah hath begotten children‘? But they are liars!” May be Allah has no children. But if Allah = Yahweh like Muslims like to claim, there is the curious fact that Jesus many times called Yahweh his father - and clearly not like an allegory or figuratively.
**00e 37/164: Here according to most Islamic scholars angles that are talking. That at least means the Quran cannot have existed since eternity, like many Muslims like to believe: It must have been made, and made after at least some angels had been made – if not the angels could not have spoken in the book.
00f 37/180: “((He is free) from what (children*) they (non-Muslims*) ascribe (to Him))”. See 37/152 just above.
016 37/182: “- - - the Worlds.” The Quran falsely tells there are 7 Earths. See 26/77 above and 65/12 below.
Surah 37: At least 16 mistakes + 6 likely mistakes.
001 38/1: “- - - by the Quran, full of Admonition: (this is the Truth).” A book that full of mistakes, invalid “signs” and “proofs” and not least a myriad of not documented claims and statements just “hanging in the air” at best is partly true.
002 38/10: “- - - heavens - - -“. Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
00a 38/19: “- - - and the birds gathered (in assemblies): all with him (King David*) did turn (to Allah).” Believe it who wants – we do not believe in assemblies of birds turning towards any god, not unless we get some proofs for it and not just words that cost zero to produce.
003 38/29a: “- - - a Book (the Quran*) which We (Allah*) have sent down - - -”. Lots of mistakes, lots of contradictions, lots of invalid “signs” and “proofs”, and lots and lots of not documented/not proved claims and statements, all of which had to be seen through sooner or later - are those the hallmarks of an omniscient god? Normally they are hallmarks of cheats, deceivers and swindlers. No god sent it.
004 38/29b: “- - - Sign(s) - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39a above.
005 38/36: “Then We (Allah*) subjected the wind to his (Solomon’s*) power - - -”. This needs strong evidence - we hardly believe Solomon was able to regulate temperature and air pressure in the atmosphere in such a way as to be the director of the winds.
006 38/37: “- - - And also the Satans (including) every kind of builder and diver (had to work for King Solomon*) - - -“. To make us believe this, Islam has to produce very real proofs – this even more so as it had been such a boost to Solomon’s reputation, that it surely had not been forgotten in the Bible - - - and there it is not mentioned. (Actually it is "borrowed" from a made up scripture).
007 38/66: “- - - heavens - - -“. Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
008 38/67: ”That (the Quran*) is a Message Supreme - - -”. See 38/29 just above. Such a book definitely is no supreme message.
009 38/71: “I (Allah*) am about to create man from clay:” Man according to science was not created, but developed from earlier primates - and at least not created from clay. See 6/2.
010 38/75: “- - - one (man*) whom I (Allah*) have created with my hands - - -.” See 38/71 just above and 6/2.
011 38/76a: “Thou (Allah*) createdst me (Iblis – the Devil*) from fire - - -.” Here something is wrong, as another place in the Quran it is said he was created from the fire of a scorching wind – there is a difference between a fire and a warm wind.
012 38/76b: “- - - him (man) thou (Allah*) createdest from clay.” See 38/71 and 6/2.
013 38/86: “No reward do I (Muhammad*) ask for this (Quran) - - -“ - - - except absolute power over you all + plenty of women + plenty of valuables for bribes + free or nearly free warriors for raids and wars to gain more power and more riches for more raids and wars and bribes and power.
014 38/87: “- - - a Message to all the Worlds.” Likely the Quran and Islam should reach all the 7 Earths that the Quran mentions – but there are no 7 Earths (flat, and one above the other according to Hadiths.) See 65/12.
015 38/88: “And ye (non-Muslims*) shall certainly know the truth of it (the Quran*) (all) after a while”. See 38/29 or 40/75 - it is at best partly true as the Quran at best is partly true.
Surah 38: At least 15 mistakes + 1 likely mistake.
001 39/1a: “The revelation of this Book (the Quran*) is from Allah”. No. See 38/29 above.
002 39/1b: “(Allah is*) Full of Wisdom”. See 38/29. If the Quran is from Allah, he is not full of wisdom – too many mistakes, etc.
003 39/2a: “Verily it is We (Allah*) Who have revealed the Book (the Quran*) - - -”. Is that really so? Verily, it is impossible to believe so - too many mistakes, etc. See 38/29.
004 39/2b: “(Allah has*) revealed the Book (the Quran*) to thee (Muhammad or the Muslims*) in Truth“. Can it really be the truth that Allah has sent down a book like this, with so many errors? - see 38/29. In that case Allah cannot be omniscient. Something is wrong.
005 39/5a: “- - - heavens - - -“. Plural and wrong (at least 199 times in the Quran, included other words for heaven as we see it from Earth – like “firmaments” or “tracts”). See 2/22a.
006 39/5b: “He (Allah*) created the heavens (plural and wrong) and the earth in true (proportions)”. True to Muhammad’s picture of the heaven(s) and the Earth - the Earth f. ex. is flat like a disk in the Quran. And 7 heavens. Wrong.
007 39/5c: “- - - each one (the sun and the moon) follows a course - - -“. As related to the Earth (and that relation was all Muhammad knew about), the sun does not follow a course. It is the Earth that runs a course around it.
*008 39/5d: “He makes the Night overlap the Day, and the Day overlap the Night - - -”. Wrong. That is done by the sun, as the night really is just a shadow. If Islam pretends something else, they will have to produce real proofs - not just cheap words. “Strong statements demand strong proofs”. Any god had known this - not Muhammad. Yes, any god could have proved himself for the future just by telling things like that - no miracle necessary. Then who composed the Quran?
009 39/6a: “He created you all from a single Person (Adam*) - - -“. According to science Adam never existed – man developed from earlier primates.
010 39/6b: “He (Allah*) sent down for you eight head of cattle - - -”. According to science, cattle are not sent down, but have developed.
*011 39/6c: “He (Allah*) sent down for you eight head of cattle in pairs - - -”. From other places in the Quran we know the cattle were: 2 cows, 2 sheep, 2 goats, 2 camels = 4 pairs = 8 heads. That is wrong, as the Quran is for the entire world: There also are water buffalo (Asia), reindeer (in the north), lama (S. America), the alpaca (S. America), the guamaco (S. America), the vicuna (S. America - the 4 from S. America are distantly related to the camel), the yak (Asia), and (Indian) elephant - and perhaps others (+ horse, donkey, etc. (and pig)).Any god knew this – Muhammad not. Who made the Quran? Contradicted by zoological facts.
012: 39/6d: “He (Allah*) makes you, in the womb of your mothers, in stages, one after the other - - -.” According to old Greek medicine (Galen, Aristotle), the foetus developed in 4 stages. Modern medicine disagrees.
**00a 39/7: “No bearer of burdens can bear the burdens of another”. Can this really be true? In that case this is yet another proof for that Allah cannot be the same god as Yahweh, because one of the things Yahweh stresses in the NT via Jesus, is that a good Christian shall help others with their burdens.
*013 39/12: “And I (Muhammad*) am commanded to be the first of those who bow to Allah in Islam.” How is that possible if the Quran is correct and lots of people had been Muslims before him, and bowed to Allah? (Though in reality it is highly likely he was right: That he was the first one ever). Muslims explain that it means the first in a community, but that is not what the Quran says. Besides both Abraham and Ishmael according to what the Qutan claims, lived in Mecca - at least for some time.
014 39/22a: “In one whose heart has opened to Islam, so that he has received enlightenment (the contents of the Quran*) from Allah - - -”. With all the mistakes, invalid “signs”, etc. in the Quran, it at best partly gives enlightenment. Whereas the mistakes, etc., give the opposite of enlightenment.
015 39/22b: “They (non-Muslims*) are manifestly wandering (in error)!” Islam claims that only Muslims do not “wander in error”. But it only is (as normal for Islam) an undocumented claim – it definitely is not manifested. (Another fact is that with all the mistakes and worse in the Quran, it is a very open question who is wandering in the worst error). We also should mention that claims like this is normal for fringe sects like Islam once was.
016 39/23a: “Allah has revealed (the Quran*) - - -”. Really? Absolutely no. See 38/29 and others.
***017 39/23b: “Allah has revealed - - - the most beautiful Message - - -”. Incitement to hate, rape, suppression, extortion, taking slaves, murder, mass murder and war + full permission for raping any slave or prisoner and + 100% dictatorship by the warlord (Muhammad and his successors). Yes, that is a beautiful message. (or in reality: Horrible).
*018 39/23c: “(The Quran*) is consistent with itself”. Wrong – there are plenty of contradictions - hundreds. Islam even needs a special abrogation rule for deciding which paragraph is the correct one when two or more “collides” (the youngest one is normally the correct - that is one of the reasons why the age of the different verses counts in Islam). Some Muslims tell this is not true - Allah just made the rules stricter. It may look like an ok explanation in some cases, f. ex. concerning alcohol. But what kind of omniscient god did not know from the very beginning what kind of rules was needed? – besides: more strict rules also is an abrogation.
*019 39/28: “(It is) a Quran in Arabic, without any crookedness - - -”. We have never been able to understand why it is a good thing that the Quran is in Arab if Allah wanted to be the god for all earth – well, even the Arabs tell it is a difficult language (though language experts say the claim is blown up by Islam – perhaps as an extra defence to avoid having to explain what they cannot explain, perhaps as an artificial back up for the demand that Muslims must read the Quran in Arabic - and say it is just a medium difficult language).
*They further insist it is impossible to translate it (just like the Japanese used to do before they learnt other languages well). That is rubbish. What one human brain is able to think, another human brain at the same level of knowledge and intelligence is able to understand.
Of course there is the fact that languages have special words, etc. that you do not find in other languages - that is the case for all languages, and nothing special for Arab, like some uneducated Muslims like to claim (and some of them even believe it, we think). Take f. ex. the Norwegian very simple word “tran”. That word exists in few other languages. F. ex. English has to say “cod liver oil” – and French similar. In Arab one would have to say something like “oil from the liver of the North Atlantic fish that in English is called cod” – but the main thing is that even if they need an explanation that the Norwegians in this case do not need, it tells 100% exactly and correctly the same and correct meaning. Or take the Inuit – they are said to have 42 different words for different kinds of snow and snow conditions – Arab hardly has more than a couple. But it would not be too difficult to explain to an Arab that this Inuit word means that the snow is wet, this that it is laying full of water, this that the snow is dry, this that it is or has been wind driven, this that it is frozen hard, this that it is sticky (so you can make snow balls f. ex.), this that it is powdery, etc.
And it is just the same with Arab: Arab f. ex. has a word for “2-years-old she-camel”. “Solch ein Wort gibt es nicht in Deutch” (“such a word does not exist in German”) – but it is no problem to explain to a German that one is talking about a female camel that is 2 years old. As said: What one human brain can think, another human brain at the same level can understand with a little explanation.
**Besides: To demand that an Afghan farmer shall read the Quran in Arab just means that you demand he shall be explained all those different words and different meanings on beforehand – because that is the only way he can understand them when he reads them later. Just the same words and the same explanations – but a lot more words, because he may not know on beforehand exactly which words that may give him extra insight.
In addition the Arab alphabet at that time was unfit for writing down exactly what was said – the alphabet at that time was very incomplete. (That was one of the reasons why there were so many varieties of the Quran in earlier times. Now there mainly are 2 of the earlier 14 “canonized” ones that are used – one (Warsh) in parts of Africa, and one (Hafs) in the rest of the world – though they call it “ways of reading” to hide that the reality is “varieties”. Those two expressions in this case are exactly identical). If Allah wanted to reach many, the natural language in that area had been Greek or perhaps Latin or Persian. Or why not Bahasa Indonesian? - one of the easiest languages in the world to learn and with as many potential Muslims as in Arabia, and with good connections to surrounding countries. In case of a western language or Persian they also could have written down the book correctly, as those languages already had perfected alphabets. Then they had not had the problem of not knowing what was really said and written. Now Muslims only can make unfounded – or wrong – statements claiming that the Quran of today is correct to the last letter and last comma, even though not all letters – and the comma – did even exist around 650 AD in Arab.
Many Muslims even believe what they say. With a complete alphabet it could really have been correct. But the fact of the incomplete alphabet of that time, makes the claim a joke. But why do the mullahs, imams, etc. lie to their congregations on these poins - or hide the points?
But without crookedness? With all the mistakes?!! With all those contradictions?! With all the invalid “signs” and “proofs”? With all the loose claims and statements? Such “facts” normally are the very hallmarks of crookedness.
020 39/32: “- - - rejects the Truth (the Quran) - - -”. See 38/29. The book at best is partly true.
021 39/33: “And he (most likely Muhammad, as it is written with “he”, not “He”*) who brings the Truth - - -“ The Quran at best is partly true – also see f. ex. 40/75 and 41/12.
*022 39/38a: “If you ask them who it is that created the heavens (plural and wrong) and the earth, they would be sure to say ‘Allah’ - - -”. Wrong. If they believed a god created it, they had named their own god(s) - though there and then it might have been the polytheistic al-Lah.
023 39/38b: “- - - heavens - - -“. Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
024 39/41a: ”Verily We (Allah*) have revealed the Book (the Quran*) - - -.” Can Allah have made book of this quality? No god makes a second rate - or third rate - book. See 38/39.
025 39/41b: “Verily We (Allah*) have revealed the Book (the Quran*) in Truth - - -”. At best partly the truth - see all the mistakes, etc.
00b 39/41c: “Verily We (Allah*) revealed the Book (the Quran*) - - -, for (instructing) mankind.” If Allah is a good god, like Islam pretends, why then all the immoral instructions and inhumanity one finds in the some 22-24 surahs from Medina? And a book with this many errors is not fit for instruction – not as a basis for the religion of a benevolent god.
***00c 39/41d. “He, then, that receive guidance (see 39/41c just above*) benefits his own soul - - -“. How can it benefit your soul to steal/loot, hate, rape, murder, mass murder (many, many cases in Muslim history), enslave, etc.? It benefits your pocket – and gives Muhammad and his successors many and cheap warriors – but your soul? Wrong. This kind of life only brutalizes a man – and his culture and religion.
026 39/42: “- - - Sign(s) - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
027 39/46: “- - - heavens - - -“. Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
028 39/52: “- - - Sign(s) - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
029 39/55: “And follow the Best of (the courses) revealed to you (the teachings of the Quran*) from your Lord - - -“. A book overflowing with mistakes, twisted arguments and logic, contradictions, and even obvious lies (like that miracles would make no-ones believers), is not the best pilot.
030 39/59: “- - - Sign(s) - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
031 39/63a: “- - - heavens - - -“. Plural and wrong. See 2/2a.
032 39/63b: “- - - Sign(s) - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
033 39/67a: “- - - heavens - - -.” Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
034 39/67b: “- - - the heavens (plural and wrong) will be rolled up in His (Allah’s) right hand - - -”. The heaven as the Quran thinks it is, are 7 invisible hemispheres made from some material. How do you roll up hemispheres? But more to the point: The heaven as Muhammad and we saw/see it, is an optical illusion in near vacuum. How do you roll up an optical illusion, and how do you roll up vacuum? Not to mention: How do you roll up a universe?
035 39/68: “- - - heavens - - -.” Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
036 39/71a: “- - - Did not messengers come to you from among yourselves - - -?” No they did not. The Hadith/Islam speaks about 124ooo prophets. If so many had been working somewhere, some time, at least a few of them had left traces. There are none. See 35/24.
037 39/71: “- - - Sign(s) - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
038 39/74: “- - - the Worlds - - -“. One more reference to the 7 flat Earths that exists according to the Quran – and according to Hadiths are placed one above the other. No comments necessary. See 65/12.
Surah 39: At least 38 mistakes + 3 likely mistakes.
001 40/2: “- - - this Book (the Quran*) is from Allah -”. Se 38/29 and 39/41.
002 40/2: “- - - (Allah is*) full of Knowledge - - -”. Not if he sent down the Quran. See 38/29.
003 40/4a: “- - - Sign(s) - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
*004 40/4b: “None can dispute about the Signs of Allah but the Unbelievers”. Wrong. There is no reason why it is not possible for Muslims to discuss them, too, except religious ideas and prohibitions. And they should do so, as none of them are valid proofs (they rest on thin air or unproven claims or statements) of Allah. A few taken from the Bible may prove Yahweh, but absolutely none proves or even indicates Allah. They f. ex. can be used by any priest in any religion about his god(s).
005 40/8: “- - - (Allah is*) Full of Wisdom.” Not if he sent down the Quran. See 38/29.
006 40/13: “- - - Sign(s) - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
007 40/21: “Do they (people*) not travel through the earth and see what was the End of those before them?” In the Middle East there are ruins here and there. Muhammad claimed that they were remnants from people punished by Allah for their sins. Wrong. In an arid and harsh land and with warring tribes, there are many other reasons why old houses and settlements may be empty or reduced to ruins.
008 40/22. “- - - Clear (Signs) (= proofs for Allah*) - - -“. There are no clear signs for Allah in all the Quran. See 2/99. In this case there may have been clear signs, but in case for Yahweh, not for Allah.
00a 40/24: “- - - Haman - - -”. See 28/6.
009 40/28: “- - - Clear (Signs) - - -“. See 40/22 and 2/99 above.
*010 40/31: “- - - Allah never wished injustice to His Servants.” Wrong. One star example: The Islamic law that tells that a woman who is raped is to be severely punished/stoned for indecency if she cannot produce 4 male witnesses that actually saw the rape, probably is the most unjust law that ever existed in an even half civilized society. Extreme injustice.
011 40/35: “- - - Sign(s) - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
00b 40/36: “- - - Haman - - -”. See 28/6.
012 40/37a: “- - - heavens - - -.” Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
013 40/37b: “- - - the plot of Pharaoh led to nothing but perdition (for him).” Wrong. We know from other places in the Quran, that the perdition is said to be drowning. But Ramses II did not die by drowning, and on top of that he did not die until several years after the possible exodus in ca. 1235 BC - both according to science.
*014 40/50: “- - - Clear Signs (= proofs of Allah*) - - -“. There exists no proof of Allah – not in the Quran, not anywhere else (even many Muslim scholars admit this). If a proof had existed, you can be 1000 – thousand - % sure all the world had been informed and with big letters.
015 40/51: “We (Allah*) will, without doubt, help Our messengers and those who believe - - -.” Wrong – with all the mistakes, etc. in the Quran, there are heavy reasons for doubts.
**016 40/53: “We (Allah*) did aforetime give Moses the (Book of) Guidance - - -”. Wrong. According to science those books were written centuries after Moses was dead. (According to the Bible, Moses only got the 10 Commandments in writing. In addition he was told the law (really parts of what now is the Book of Moses), which he then wrote down himself later). Now, Islam has a tendency to tell that the Bible is falsified - and strangely: - always in ways that happens to omit points that would under build Islam if it had not been falsified. Also they frequently tell that scriptures have disappeared - always the scriptures that are said to be like the Quran and not the others, and not only that: All such texts have by a strange coincidence happened to get lost. Further: Science has over the years accumulated some 13ooo texts or fragments relevant to the Bible plus some 30ooo with references to the Bible. All have been in accordance with the Bible or have been easy to understand with relevance to the Bible – and none have been “unsanctified” with texts Islam claims should be there, but that simply does not exist among all the ones found - some have even given deeper insight so it has been possible to correct details in translations.
Finally: There are also found a number of old scriptures relying to, or copies of, the Quran. But anything that is not like the texts of today is obscured by the Muslims. The star example of which is the “Quran grave” - resting place for worn out Quran scrolls - found in Yemen in 1972. Scientists and scientific methods from the West made it possible to read them, but when it turned out that there were "small, but significant" divergences from the texts of today, further access to the scrolls were denied, except for some selected not “dangerous” parts. This even if anyone who knows the history of the Quran knows that the statement: “The Quran of today is to the last letter and the last comma identical with what Gabriel told Muhammad” is not true.
Honesty?
017 40/56: “- - - Sign(s) - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
018 40/57: “- - - heavens - - -.” Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
019 40/59: “The Hour (of doom) will certainly come: therein is no doubt - - -”. It is quite possible that an hour of doom may come - many religions say so. But as the Quran has given not one single valid proof for it - just cheap, though often strong, words - there are strong reasons for doubting a doom and a hell like in the Quran. This even more so as the Quran has so many other mistakes, and uses so many contradictions and invalid “signs” and “proofs”, not to mention all the statements resting on nothing or on other invalid statements, “signs“ or “proofs“.
*020 40/61: “It is Allah Who made the Night for you - - - and the Day - - -”. Wrong. It is the sun and the revolving of the Earth that makes night and day. This is just another place where Muhammad takes a natural phenomenon, states without proof that this is done or made by Allah, and then tells or indicates that this is a proof for Allah or Islam. As a proof, it is logically completely invalid - and as said before: Use of invalid proofs, etc., etc., is the hallmark of someone deliberately not speaking the truth and trying to delude or deceive or cheat somebody.
021 40/62: “- - - how ye are deluded away from the Truth! (the Quran*)”. See 38/29. A book like that at best represents partly the truth.
022 40/63: “- - - Sign(s) - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
023 40/64: “(Allah has*) made the sky as a canopy - - -”. Wrong. The sky - or heaven - is not a canopy, especially not when you know that it according to the Quran is made from something material (the stars are fastened to the lowermost heaven). The sky as we see it, is an optical illusion in near vacuum.
024 40/66a: “- - - Clear Signs - - -“. Wrong. See 2/99.
025 40/66b: “- - - the Worlds.” The Quran falsely tells there are 7 Earths. See 26/77 above and 65/12 below.
026 40/67a: “It is He (Allah*) Who has created you from dust - - -”. Wrong. Man was not made from dust. See 6/2.
027 40/67b: “(Allah then made you*) from a sperm drop - - -”. Wrong. You were not made from a sperm drop. You were made from the fusing of a sperm cell and an egg cell - the egg cell even is by far the biggest. From other places in the Quran it is clear that Muhammad believed the sperm was “seeds to plant” in a woman, and there started to grow to become a foetus and then a baby. Any one inch tall god had known that this was wrong. Then who made the Quran?
028 40/69: “- - - Sign(s) - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
029 40/70: “Those who reject the Book (the Quran or the "not falsified" Bible, like Islam claims – as always without any documentation*) which We (Allah*) sent - - -“. No omniscient god sent down the Quran – too many mistakes, etc. (and science has shown that the content of the modern Bibles is the same as in the first ones – Islam’s claims are just that; claims.)
It is a most open question who is furthest away from the truth – Muslims or (some?) non-Muslims. It is clear from all the mistaken facts, contradictions, and other wrongs, that the Quran is not made by an omniscient god – and the inhumanities in the Quran also proves it is not made by any good or benevolent power (when someone claims and states good things, but demands and does bad ones, the demands and deeds are more reliable for judging his character, than the very cheap words). And if Islam is a made up religion, based on a made up book – what then with all the Muslims who have been denied the possibility to look for a real religion (if such one exists)? – their only hope in case is that also Hell is a fiction.
***030 40/75: “- - - the Truth (the Quran*) - - -”. To repeat things:
The Quran at best is partly true. There are very good reasons for doubt and scepticism.
It is also told that the Quran is the copy of a revered “Mother Book” in the Heaven of Allah. This has to be wrong. An omnipotent god impossibly can have revered - not kept as a funny curiosum, but revered!! - a book with that many mistakes and contradictions, that number of loose and without value claims and statements, not to mention all the invalid “signs” and “proofs”- hallmarks of an imbecile or a cheat or deceiver. Besides: The other 124ooo+ earlier prophets (or at least many of them) according to Islam received a similar copy of the Mother Book. Pretend you were the prophets Hud or Salih living at least 2000 years before Muhammad (because Moses spoke about them according to the Quran, and he lived (?) some 2000 years before Muhammad - Hud and Salih concequently must have lived before that), or that you were one of the Indian prophets in the Americas before 1492 AD – or in the Arctic or in Australia 100 years before Botany Bay – the Quran and Islam claims that all people have had prophets. Then read the Quran and see how much you would understand and how much not – even words like cows, sheep, goats, camels, ships, coats of mail, and a number of other words – what did they mean in South America or Australia? And how much is irrelevant? – f. ex. Muhammad’s family problems, all the facts and happenings relevant mostly for Arabia, etc.
Read the Quran with that in your mind – and weep.
Would a god make or revere or use copies of such a book for his prophets through all times and all over the world? – Remember we here talk about the perfect and timeless Mother Book that the Quran and all other not falsified books sent down to the prophets all over the world from Adam to Muhammad are exact copies of. This in spite of that Islam explains that the reason for new prophets and new scriptures were that time changed, so the scriptures had to be changed a little - how to change perfect copies of the one and perfect Mother Book?
031 40/77: “- - - the Promise of Allah is true - - -“. So much is wrong in the Quran, that also this has to be proved, as there are serious reasons for doubts about whether the religion itself is true. If it is a made up one, of course “Allah’s promises” also are not true.
032 40/78: “- - - Sign(s) - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
033 40/81a: “- - - His Signs - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
034 40/81b: “- - - the Signs - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
*035 40/82: “Do they not travel through the earth and see what was the End of those before them?” In and around Arabia there were - and are - scattered ruins. Muhammad told they were all remains of people punished by Allah for sins (and for good measure they were stronger than Muhammad’s contemporary Arabs). Believe it who wants - but contact a professor of history or a psychologist if you do. Similar claims at least in 3/137 – 6/11 – 7/4 – 9/70 -16/36 - 21/6 - 40/21.
036 40/83: “- - - Clear Signs - - -“. See 2/99.
Surah 40: At least 36 mistakes + 2 likely mistakes.¨
Sub-total here: At least 1338 mistakes + 169 likely mistakes.
NB: If you find any mistakes anywhere, please inform us. If it is a real mistake, it will be corrected.
NB, NB, NB:
1. Read first the 2 small chapters "Some Essentials for how the Quran is to be read and understood" (VII-10-1) and "The Quran is to be understood literally if nothing else is indicated" (VII-10-2).
2. http://www.1000mistakes.com is blocked by many Muslim authorities. To debate with persons in such areas, cut and paste what you want from the pages and send it under titles different from http://www.1000mistakes.com.
3. http://www.1000mistakes.com is one of 9 pages which Muslim organisetions warned especially against in 2008 and 2009 - it could make especially procelytes lose their belief in Islam; correct and "down-to-the-earth" information works. In this connection it is worth noting that in the "warning" http://www.1000mistakes.com was one of 3 which neither was accused of bringing wrong facts, nor of being a hate page.
4. Comment 141 (to verse 6/149) in “The Message of the Quran” (see point 5) explains (translated from Swedish) about Allah's claimed omniscience vs. man's claimed free will:
“With other words: The real connection between Allah’s knowledge about the future (and consequently about the unavoidable in what is to happen in the future*) on one side and man’s relatively (!!*) free will on the other – two statements that seems to contradict each other – lies outside what is possible for humans to understand, but as both statement are made from Allah (in the Quran*) both must be true”. Unbelievable. Blind belief is the only correct and intelligent way of life, even in the face of the utterly impossible!!
5. And an afterthought: In the book “The Message of the Quran”, certified by Al-Azhar Al-Sharif Islamic Research Academy in Cairo (one of the 2-3 top universities in the Muslim world on such subjects) in a letter dated 27. Dec. 1998, it is admitted rather reluctantly that there are no proofs for Allah, and that it is not possible to prove him. An additonal point here is that if there is no proof for Allah and impossible to prove him, automatically there also is no proof for, and impossible to prove Muhammad's claimed connection to a god. And if there is no Allah and/or no connection between Muhammad and a god, what then is Islam?
6. Further: All the mistakes, contradictions, etc. in that book prove 100% that the Quran is not made by an omniscient god - no god makes such and so many mistakes, etc. If then Islam is a made up religion, what then about all the Muslims who have been prohibitted from looking for a real religion (if such one exists)? And where will they in case wake up after living and practising such an inhuman war religion like Islam is according to the Quran (and to Hadiths), if there is a second life somewhere? - Hell or Paradise?
7. NB and PS: No matter how sure you are about something, if it is not proved, it is not knowledge, only belief or strong belief, and can be wrong. Only what is proved or possible to prove is knowledge.
(As http://www.1000mistakes.com is blocked in many Muslim areas - which shows they are afraid of it and lack arguments (if they had real arguments for http://www.1000mistakes.com is wrong, blocking was unneccessary) - "cut and paste" whatever you want from it and send if you want to inform or to debate there. Remember to omit the name http://www.1000mistakes.com).
PS: If we are blocked centrally - f. ex. by spam (there is too much at times already from unfriendly sources) we will reopen with new address somewhere else, and announce the new address om f. ex. http://www.topix.com/forum/religion/islam. Also if your comments to us do not reach us, any comments posted on the thread "What is it with http://www.1000mistakes.com ?" (or make a page containing "1000 mistakes" in the title yourself if you want) on that forum will be read by us - it is a big international debate page.
Please inform all and everybody and all relevant fora - f. ex. Internet pages for debate or information - about the address http://www.1000mistakes.com. It is information that is urgently needed by many, not least by Muslims. No god made a book with so many mistakes and other wrongs - and if the Quran and Islam are made up by humans or dark forces, where are the followers of this inhumanly dark and brutal war religion heading for in a possible next life?
