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 61/1a: “- - - heavens - - -“. Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
002 61/1b: “- - - (Allah is*) the Wise.” See 40/75 + 41/12 + 59/1.
00a 61/5: “- - - I (Moses*) am the Messenger of Allah (sent) to you (Jews*) - - -.” Allah or Yahweh? The Quran uses the name Allah for the god of the old Jews many places. Mostly we have not “arrested” it, but it is extremely unlikely to be correct as the teachings are too different.
Another point: 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.
***003 61/6a: “- - - (Jesus said*) I am the Messenger of Allah - - -”. If Jesus had said something like this about the known polytheistic god from a not too distant foreign country, for one thing he had not got many followers, and for another: The clergy had at once had an excuse to have him killed. This verse is composed by someone not knowing the religious and political realities in Israel around 30 AD.
004 61/6/b: “- - - (Jesus said that he came for*) confirming the Law (of Moses*) - - -.” What he according to the Bible said, was that he had not come to finish that law, but to fulfil the law and to save souls – which was not the same as he should confirm the old laws or was prohibited from changing them or finish them. What he actually did according to the Bible, was making a new covenant between man and Yahweh that “de facto” changed or finished many of those old laws – a covenant Muslims never mention. To find the essence of it, read about “the Last Supper” in the Bible. (There were at least 12 witnesses to that supper, and they told about it to many afterwards.) F. ex. Luke 22/20.
***005 61/6c: “- - - (Jesus said: I am*) giving the Glad Tiding of a Messenger to come after Me, whose name shall be Ahmad (another form of the name Muhammad*) - - -”. This is quite a funny verse, as you meet Muslims that insists it is from the Bible. But there is not anything remotely like this in the Bible, and neither in the some 13ooo relevant scriptures or fragments found throughout the times, older than 610 AD – included some 300 from the Gospels - nor in the some 30ooo references to biblical verses in other known manuscripts. It is only to be found in the Quran. (The Bible also never - mever - gives names when it foretells into the far future – also never about the name of the Messiah that was to come. Here you get a clear name – quite a break of the rule - - - and unbelievably convenient for Muhammad, the very man that told this. Believe it is a coincidence if you want.)
**And it is worth remembering that it is quite common for makers of new sects or religions to connect themselves to a mother religion and bend that - or even highjack (parts of) it. The founder of the Amaddijja-Muslims is really one of the latest examples, and Mormons tell Jesus visited America during his last days on earth. Such things give roots, credence and weight to a movement.
*Jesus told The Holy Spirit (also named the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of God, the Spirit of truth, or only the Spirit – like Allah and like Muhammad it has more than one name) should come shortly - which it did. And he told he himself should return once upon a time “to judge the living and the dead“. But not a single word about any other - and not to mention not one with a foreign name the Jews would question.
**We know of one place where Muhammad is mentioned: In the Barnabas Gospel - a most apocryphal book - according to one of our sources it may even be written at the caliph’s court in Baghdad (not very strange if it then mentions Muhammad). At least it seems clear that the copy that present day copies are made from, is a late try to “connect” the religions. You need to make up proofs only if you have no real ones. Muslims sometimes tell you this “gospel” is a real one.
But the standard explanation Muslims follow - without proofs: The Bible is falsified and the name Muhammad and the expectation of him taken out by bad conspiracies - people in that area hve a strong tendency to look for and believe in conspiracy theories (We have a private theory that the reason is that they never in their history have been used to relatively reliable information). But in that case:
Wishful thinking? – or a bluff? – or a lie/al-Taqiyya? At least science long ago has proved from the old manuscripts that it is not true – the Bible never was falsified on this point either. (But Islam HAS to find him somewhere there, if not the Quran is wrong on this for Islam very essential point). Also see 7/157.
(As mentioned also the apocryphal (made up) “Gospel of Barnabas” sometimes is used as an argument, because there Muhammad is clearly mentioned (no surprise if the theory that it is made at the court in Bagdad is correct). The sorry fact, though, is that a made up gospel is a made up gospel (there are a number of them) – and it tells something about Islam’s lack of arguments that they continue to insist that may be it is not made up, and therefore is a proof for Muhammad, when science is unanimous: It is one of the false ones. The only thing the “Gospel of Barnabas” in reality proves, is that Islam has no real documentation for their claim that Muhammad is mentioned in the NT, as they have to resort to that kind of argumentation).
***But the most solid proof for that the Bible is not falsified, comes from Islam itself. If they had found one single solid proof for falsification of the Bible among all the many thousands of old manuscripts that exists THEY HAD SCREAMED TO HOLY HEAVEN ABOUT IT – and no-one has till now heard such a scream – not even after 1400 years!!!.
**00b 61/9a: “It is He (Allah*) Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad*) - - -”. With all those mistakes in the claimed message, it is obvious that also this claim needs proofs – especially since an illness like temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) easily can explain both his fits, his sights (?) and his other experiences (?) – TLE often gives religious illusions like this (source among others BBC). Add some personal “inspiration” or cunning to solve personal and domestic problems, and add the contemporary wrong knowledge and science, and you have the Quran exactly – with all its mistakes and other weaknesses.
**006 61/9b: “It is He (Allah*) Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad*) with Guidance - - -”. A teaching based on a book containing unbelievable perhaps 3ooo+ mistakes, loose statements, contradictions, invalid “signs” and “proofs” + at least some clear lies and statements telling that Muhammad did not respect even his oaths too much, is not much of a guidance.
***007 61/9c: “- - - the Religion of Truth, that may proclaim over all religion - - -”. See 40/75 and 41/12. It is also worth to remember that normal people of today - and earlier times – would be reluctant with trusting or believing in a man with a CV like Islam tells Muhammad had: Robbery, extortion, lies, broken oaths, incitement to hate, incitement to suppression of all opponents, assassination of opponents, murder of opponents, mass murder, rape, betrayal, (30 opponents from Khaibar invited to debate under promise of safe return - but 29 murdered on the slightest excuse, the last one managed to flee), incitement to war - and lust for women and for power. We have met Muslims excusing him with that he was a hard man living in a hard time, and that he was no worse than other warlords. May be so, but he definitely was no better either, and he pretended (?) to represent a good and benevolent god. Personally if we meet a man - or a god - telling he is benevolent, but has harsh damands or deeds, we any day and any hour believe his demands and deeds more than his words.
The last part of the quotation also tells volumes about Islam.
008 61/13: “- - - Glad Tidings - - -“. Permission to steal/rob, suppress, rape, enslave, keep harems, murder, etc. which are central parts of the Quran – are those “Glad Tidings”? Direct orders to go to war and kill and suppress and enslave and loot and destruct - - - and perhaps become an invalid or dead, leaving your wife/wives widow(s) and your childten fatherless – are those “Glad Tidings”? Direct orders to concentrate only on religious knowledge (indirectly very clear in the Quran and directly and unmistakably very clear in Islam from very early – and totally dominant from 1095 AD and al-Ghazali, “the Greatest Muslim after Muhammad”) – are those “Glad Tidings”? Total destruction of all advanced countries and cultures they met in Africa, Europe and Asia at least as far east as what was then India – destruction it took the locals at least 200 years to overcome (if ever) – are those “Glad Tidings”? The inhumanity in the war religion – are those “Glad Tidings”? The reduction of women to third class citizens – if really citizens – (Islam’s claim that women were/are better off under Islam than before only is true for some parts of what is now the Muslim area, mainly in minor parts of Arabia – and even there it had not necessarily been true today if it was not for the suppressing factor of Islam) – are those “Glad Tidings”? The enslavement and suppression and mass murders/slaughtering of non-Muslims – were and are (see Muslims at waging war and terror even today) those “Glad Tidings”? What a war religion did and does to the societies and the personal soul – are those “Glad Tidings”? The suppression of thinking – all non-religious philosophy, and all religious non-conform (to Islam) thinking – are those “Glad Tidings”? Well, yes, for some Muslims – the ones of the warriors that survived in good health and became rich from looting, and the ones of the leaders that became rich in wealth and women from looting/slave taking and taxation plus became powerful, then and today. And for some ones longing for a strict religion for psychological reasons.
**For everyone else it was everything from “Bad Tidings” to terror – and still is (just look at the backward societies it resulted in once the riches from looting came to an end except where they have natural resources to sell, like oil – and even worse when the sometimes hard taxation or pogroms of non-Muslim underlings, reduced the number and/or economy of those underlings = less tax possible. Look f. ex. at the development in India, China, Brazil of today – especially India and China were far behind the Islamic countries 60 years ago, but what has been happening during these years? Take away the oil, the money from outside the area and the ideas from outside, more or less forced on the clergy and the leaders from media and others – what has really happened in the Islamic area since f. ex.1950 compared to many other places?
Yes: For everyone else it was and still is everything from “Bad Tidings” to terror.
For Muslims the part about heaven is “glad tidings” – if it is true. Also killing, rape, enslaving, suppression and stealing are glad news for the right – or wrong – kind of Muslims. The rest of the tidings is from bad to terror also for them – hate, war, suppression of women, stagnant society, immoral moral, only religious knowledge really counts, servility under authorities, fight and be killed, etc. Even for Muslims the claim that Islam is glad tidings at best only is partly true - even if the religion should happen to be true.
And especially so if Islam is a made up religion. And even more so if there somewhere is a true religion that Islam blocks its members from even looking for.
The very best one can say about the Quran and “Glad Tidings”, is that for some – some only - parts of it partly were glad tidings, and that for some others parts of it bring peace to the soul – like strong believers gain from ANY of the main religions.
***For all others – included the majority of Muslims – it was and is “Bad Tidings”. As mentioned especially so if Islam is a made up religion. Which it seems to be from the proofs of the Quran and the claims and the life of Muhammad. There are many more like this claim – partly true for Muslims in a way, but terror for all others – in the Quran – f. ex. 2/119 – 17/9 – 33/45 – 33/47.
009 61/14a: “- - - said Jesus - - - to the Disciples,’ Who will be my helpers to (the work of) Allah?’” See 61/6 + 61/6 (2 pieces).
010 61/14b: “Said the Disciples, ’We are Allah’s helpers”. See 61/6 + 61/6 (2 pieces).
Surah 61: At least 10 mistakes + 2 likely mistakes.
001 62/1a: “- - - heavens - - -“. Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
002 62/1b: “(Allah*) - - - the Wise - - -*)”. Wrong if the Quran is representative for his wisdom.
00a 62/2a: “It is He (Allah*) Who has sent (Muhammad*)”. It is difficult to believe that an omniscient god sent a messenger with a message containing so much wrong, and a messenger taking so good care of himself.
**00b 62/2b: “It is He (Allah*) Who has sent amongst the Unlettered a Messenger from among themselves - - - “. All Muslim literature say Muhammad was analphabetic, and use that for a proof for his inability to make up the Quran - not mentioning that many a good teller of tales in the old times were analphabetic. But there also are two other possible meanings of this verse: That his audience were unlettered persons ("- - - amongst the Unlettered - - -"), or that they were persons without a holy book.
*As for Muhammads unability to trad: The statement is questioned: A man of good and not too poor family not knowing how to read and write? A rich widow marrying an analphabetic, knowing he was to run her business? An intelligent businessman with admission to learned men, with a drive for power, not learning how to read and write? It is not likely - but there are no neutral sources about Muhammad from that time. It will never be possible to find out for sure, one way or the other.
003 62/2c: “- - - His (Allah’s*) Signs - - -.” There are no signs clearly from Allah neither in the Quran, nor any other place. See 2/99.
**004 62/2d: “(Muhammad was to*) instruct them (the Unlettered Arabs*) in Scripture and Wisdom - - -” To instruct them in scripture, he hardly could be an analphabetic himself, but that aside: See 40/75 and 41/12.
005 62/3: “- - - (Allah is*) Wise - - -”. See 61/1 + 40/75 + 41/12.
006 62/5: “- - - the Signs of Allah - - -.” See 62/2 and 2/99 above.
007 62/6: “- - - then express your desire for Death, if ye are truthful!” An impossible demand for pious Jews and Christians: For one thing life has its values for everybody. More essential for them: Life is a gift from Yahweh/God – to wish to end it is to diminish a gift from Him. Most serious: To (wish to) end your own life, is a sin so grave that it automatically sends you to Hell.
Any god had known this – Muhammad obviously not. Then who made the Quran? (In a way worse: Muslim scholars today know this fact. But they never mention it, in spite of using this argument. Dishonesty.)
008 62/8: “- - - ye will be sent back to the Knower of things (Allah*) - - -”. As for “the Knower“: See 61/1 + 40/75 + 41/12.
Surah 62: At least 8 mistakes + 2 likely mistakes.
00a 63/1: “- - - thou (Muhammad*) art indeed His (Allah’s*) Messenger - - -.” Well, the Quran says so – but very much of what is said in the Quran obviously is wrong. And can a man claiming to bringing ok messages for 12 years and then highly immoral and inhuman messages for 10 years (Islam changed much in and after 622 AD and the flight to Medina) to man – and using the messages as his platform of power – really be the messenger of a timeless and benevolent god?
001 63/4: “How are they (non-Muslims*) deluded (away from the Truth)!” At very best away from partly truths - see 40/75 and 41/12. (But there is an impolite thought far behind in our brain: Who are really deluded when it comes to Islam? – the ones just listening to the imams without using their knowledge and their brain and asking no questions, or the other ones?)
002 63/7: “- - - heavens - - -.” Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
Surah 63: At least 2 mistakes + 1 likely mistake.
001 64/1: “- - - heavens - - -“. Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
002: 64/2 “- - - it is He (Allah*) Who has created you - - -”. According to science man was not created, but evolved from an earlier primate. At least man cannot have been created in more than one of the 13 different ways in which the Quran tells the single person Adam was created - see 6/2.
003 64/3: “- - - heavens - - -“. Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
004 64/4a: “He (Allah*) knows what is in the heavens (plural and wrong) and on earth - - -”. According to the Quran, he knows only parts of it - see 40/75 and 41/12.
005 64/4b: “- - - heavens - - -.” Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
006 64/6: “- - - Clear Signs - - -“. See 2/99.
**007 64/7: “The Unbelievers think that they will not be raised up (after this life*)”. Wrong. Islam wants to be a religion for the entire world, and most religions it met and meets have a second life. But what was difficult for the old Arabs to accept, was that Muhammad told that not only your soul - or something similar - was to be resurrected, but your complete and exact body and mental self, except that you are to be resurrected as a young and good-looking person - there is said nothing about people born with mental or physical handicaps, or babies/children in this connection. (There is one inconsistence, though: 2-3 places the Quran tells that your women in Paradise will be of “suitable age” - f. ex. 78/33. Why? - if everyone will be young and then of roughly the same age?) If bodily resurrection is believable or not, anyone will have to decide for himself or herself.
008 64/8a: “Believe, therefore, in Allah and His Messenger, and in the Light (the Quran*) - - -”. As for the Light, see 40/75 and 41/12. As For believing: See all the mistakes, contradictions, invalid claims/logic, etc. – not to mention highly immoral laws that are not made by any benevolent god.
009 64/8b: “- - - the Light (the Quran*) which We (Allah*) Have sent down.” See 41/12 + 40/75.
010 64/10: “- - - Our (Allah’s) Signs - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
011 64/18: “- - - (Allah is*) Full of Wisdom.” See 40/75 and 41/12.
Surah 64: At least 11 mistakes.
001 65/1: “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 pretended to or 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). Also see 30/40a and 30/46a.
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. He only “borrowed” that impressive and imposing title. It is up to anyone to guess why.
00a 65/7: “Allah puts no burden on any person beyond what He has given him.” Well, there are people in Muslim countries, too, that cannot bear the burdens and flee – to other places or even from this life.
**002 65/11: “- - - the Signs of Allah (are*) containing clear explanations - - -”. Wrong. There is not one single of the “Signs” referred in the Quran, that has any value, neither as proof nor as explanation for a god or for a messenger (with the possible exception of some taken from the Bible, but they talk about another god, Yahweh). The reasons are that they without exception just are loose statements or are building on other invalid claims or statements, “signs“ or “proofs” - totally invalid. A proof after all is "one or more proven facts that can give only one conclution". If a person consciously uses such invalid arguments, they are using hallmarks of a cheat and a deceiver. No god would use them.
**003 65/12a: “Allah is He Who created seven Firmaments - - -”. Firmament is another name for the heaven as we see it - mostly used about the night sky. The Quran so many places states there are 7 heavens or firmaments or tracts or just heavens in plural (at least 199 places in the Quran) referring to the 7 heavens, that there is no doubt what it means. It is totally wrong, though. (Even if Muslims try to explain it away with 7 layers in the atmosphere or diffuse arguments about the space as we know it today or statements about it being an allegory - the standard last resort for Muslims for explaining or "explaining" things that are impossible to explain - even though it very clearly is no allegory - clear at least to anyone not full of wishful thinking or religious inhibitions.
*** 004 65/12b: “Allah is He Who created seven Firmaments (wrong*) and of the earth a similar number”. According to Hadith the last part means 7 seperate Earths - one above the other. According to Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah al-Kisa’I the last part means 7 layers down in the Earth according to one “explanation”. But what the Quran really says, is 7 Earths – 7 flat Earths. No matter if you believe the Quran/Hadith or one of the “explanations” for this somewhat special geology/astronomy, the names of the “Earths” from top and down are:
According to f. ex Al-Bukhari they are placed one above the other – easy as the Quran tells the Earth(s) is/are flat. The lower down, the more devilish life on the respective layer – and if you are a big enough sinner, you can fall down through them. It is not necessary to say it is all rubbish.
005 65/12c: “- - - Allah comprehends all things in (His) Knowledge.” See 40/75 and 41/12.
Surah 65: At least 5 mistakes + 1 likely mistake.
001 66/1: “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 pretended to or 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). Also see 30/40a and 30/46a.
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. He only “borrowed” that impressive and imposing title. It is up to anyone to guess why.
002 66/2: “- - - He (Allah*) is full of Knowledge and Wisdom.” See 40/75 and 41/12.
003 66/3: “- - - the Prophet (Muhammad*) - - -.” Wrong. See 66/1 above.
004 66/6: “- - - a fire whose fuel is Men and Stones - - -“. A fire is a chemical reaction – normally an oxidation – that releases heat, and so much heat that the reaction continues by itself and still releases enough surplus heath to make a visible flame. This does not happen with stones – and definitely not with the stones Muhammad and his congregation knew about. (There are Muslims telling Muhammad meant coal, but coal as a means of heating, was unknown in Arabia at the time of Muhammad and his congregation – which means it is very clear that his followers were meant to understand normal stones). Wrong.
005 66/8: “- - - the Prophet (Muhammad*) - - -.” Wrong. See 66/1 above.
006 66/9: “O Prophet (Muhammad*)!” Wrong. See 66/1 above.
00a 66/11: The wife of the Pharaoh (Ramses II) is indicated to be a strongly believing Muslim. Now a pharaoh normally had a number of wives – and a mighty one like Ramses II not least (it is known he had 67 sons, but we have not seen the number of wives). They may have had different religions – especially the possible ones not born in Egypt. But it is utterly unknown to science that one of them can have been a Muslim 2000 years before Muhammad. Actually – and in spite of the Quran’s and of Islam’s repeated claims of being an age-old religion, science has found not one single trace of a religion like Islam anywhere or any time before 610 AD when Muhammad started his mission – and of really monotheistic religions only the Mosaic (Jewish), the Christian, and to a degree the Zoroastrians in Persia (+ the episode with the sun god of Akn Aton and the small monotheistic sect in Arabia, most likely inspired by the Jews and the Christians). Islam has to bring proofs.
**007 66/12: “And Mary the daughter of ‘Imran - - -”. Once more this famous mistake. Imran was the father of Moses and Aaron - - - but they lived (if they are not fiction) some 1200 years before Mary, mother of Jesus. The pharaoh of Moses f. ex. was Ramses II according to science, and we know when he lived. Muslims try to explain this with that it was another Imran, but science agrees on that it is the same one, and that Muhammad here made a genuine mistake. This even more so as Hadith shows that Muhammad later was told about his mistake, and tried to “explain” it away, but without success.
Surah 66: At least 7 mistakes + 1 likely mistake.
****001 67/3a: “He (Allah*) Who created the seven heavens one above another - - -”. It is hardly possible to state the Quran’s picture of our sky more accurately and clearly than this. Neither is possible to be much more wrong, especially when we add that according to the Quran the heavens are held up by invisible pillars, that the heavens are made from something material (if not you could build them and not fasten the stars, etc. to them), that the stars are fixed to the lowest heaven with the sun (?) and the moon between the heavens, and that the stars also double as shooting stars to chase away spying bad spirits. See 67/5a and 67/b below. Who composed the Quran - a god or someone not omniscient?
002 67/3b: “- - - seest thou any flaws (in Allah’s creation of heaven*)?” See 50/6.
****003 67/5a: “And We (Allah*) have (from of old), adorned the lowest heaven with Lamps (Stars*)- - -”. The Quran’s picture of cosmos is taken from Greek and/or Persian astronomy, and as any secondary school child not blinded by religious indoctrination can see; it is much wrong. For one thing the heavens have to be made from something material to make possible fixing the stars to one of them. Besides: From Greek etc. astronomy we know that the planets, stars, sun and moon were fixed to 7 different heavens. As the stars according to the Quran is fixed to the lowest, they have to be lover than the than the moon. But what happens if you try to place say Betelgeuse or even Helios - our sun - below Luna - our moon?
Further: Our rockets cannot go too high - they will collide with the material heavens. Muhammad said the Quran is perfect and without mistakes or flaws. The Quran says the Quran is perfect and without mistakes or flaws. Islam says the Quran is perfect and without mistakes or flaws. Muslims say the Quran is perfect and without mistakes or flaws. All of them say the Quran is perfect and without mistakes or flaws because Allah sent down a book he had made or which had existed forever - a book which is the revered “Mother Book” (f. ex. 43/4) in the heaven of Allah - and an omniscient god can neither make mistakes nor revere texts containing lots of mistakes, contradictions, flaws and hallmarks of cheats and deceivers. Also see 67/3 above and 67/5 just below.
BUT WHAT DO ALL THOSE WORDS HELP WHEN THE MISTAKES, CONTRADICTIONS, AND THE FLAWS ARE THERE ANYHOW? AND WHEN ISLAM TELLS THAT THE TOTAL LACK OF ANY MISTAKE IN THE QURAN PROVES IT IS FROM ALLAH, WHAT THEN DOES MEGA BLUNDERS LIKE THIS PROVE?
***004 67/5b: “- - -and We (Allah*) have made such (lamps (stars*) as) missiles to drive away the Evil Ones - - -”. Well, well. Any secondary school child IS able to see that this entry from the same verse above, was wrong, he would laugh from this: Stars fastened to the lowest heaven and then doubling as shooting stars to drive away bad spirits or jinns!! Also see 67/3.
No further comments. And none necessary,
*** 005 67/10: “Had we (non-Muslims*) but listened or used our intelligence - - -”. Islam often tries to tell that it is intelligence that makes Muslims believe, or intelligence that is necessary to see from the Quran that it is a work from a god. What at least is sure, is that anyone who uses his intelligence and has a reasonable minimum of knowledge of f. ex. history, geography, astronomy, archaeology, etc. will find a lot of mistakes in the Quran - if he not for some reason is blind or do not want to see. Also: If he knows a very small minimum of logic and the rules for using logic and for evaluating information, he has to see the lose statements, the invalid “signs” and the as invalid “proofs” - and may be he will be struck by the thought: Who uses this kind of arguments, except one who has no real arguments, and therefore has to cheat and deceive - f. ex. to gain followers and power?
006 67/13: “He (Allah*) certainly has (full) knowledge - - -”. See 40/75 and 41/12.
**007 67/19: “None can hold them (the birds*) up except (Allah) - - -”. Wrong. What keep the birds up, are the laws of aerodynamics. (Of course Muslims can use one of their favourite last resorts: Declare that Allah made those laws. But then they will have to prove that - not just use cheap words that any priest in any religion can use about any god.) Also see 16/79.
008 67/21: “- - - flight (from the Truth).” See 40/75 and 41/12.
Surah 67: At least 8 mistakes.
***001 68/4: “And thou (Muhammad or Muslims*) (standest) on an exalted standard of character - - -”. Well:
Seen in the Quran and the Hadiths:
And not least: All this is from Muslim sources - what Islam itself tells about him, though in more glossy words. There is no excuse for becoming angry, because it is 100% true according to Islam itself.
Yes, many will call that “an exalted standard of character”. But not many of those would be non-Muslims. And how many of the Muslims can say it and fell honest?
002 68/7: “- - - those (Muslims*) who receive (true) Guidance (the contents of the Quran*) - - -”. Can the Quran with all its mistakes deliver true guidance? See 40/75 and 41/12.
003 68/8: “So hearken not to those who deny (the Truth).” See 40/75 and 41/12.
004 68/15: “- - - Our (Allah’s*) Signs - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
005 68/52: “- - - all the Worlds.” Once more a reference to the 7 (flat) worlds of Muhammad. Wrong. See 65/12b above.
Surah 68: At least 5 mistakes.
001 69/9+10: “And Pharaoh, and those before him - - - (Allah*) punished them with an abundant Penalty.” The Quran tells that this penalty for the pharaoh was drowning, but Ramses II did not drown. Neither did he die until several years after the possible exodus, according to science.
002 69/16: “And the sky will be rent asunder - - -”. How do you rip asunder vacuum and open space?
003 69/43a: “(This (the Quran*) is) a Message sent down from the Lord (Allah*)”of the Worlds (Allah*).” Must be wrong. See 41/12 and 40/75. No omniscient god makes or revere or forward in his own name a book with so much wrong.
004 69/43b: “- - - the Worlds - - -.” But the 7 worlds of Muhammad do not exist. See 65/12b.
00a 69/44 – 46: “And if the Messenger (Muhammad*) were to invent any sayings in our name, We (Allah*) should certainly size him by his right hand, and We should certainly then cut off the artery of his heart”. Not if you – Allah – does not exist. Nor if you are far from omnipotent if you exist.
**005 69/50: “But truly (Revelation (of the Quran*) is a cause of sorrow for the Unbelievers”. True, but for wrong reasons: Because of all the war and blood and terror Islam has represented through the ages - and the answer is NOT that also other religions have caused wars, etc. as that does not make a hate, rape, suppression, robbery and blood religion like Islam one single iota better – and in most other religions it is done in spite of the real religion, not because of. And because many felt pity for souls going lost in a religion built on a book where something is seriously wrong. (May be their own religion(s) also were wrong, but all the mistaken facts, etc., in a book pretending to be from an omniscient god, proves that in Islam there really is something that is wrong - and it makes one doubt very strongly that it really is a divine revelation.
Actually Islam is the only one of the big religions that directly proves itself – by means of their holy book – that it is something seriously wrong with the holy book and thus with the religion.
006 69/51: “But, verily; it is Truth of assured certainty“. Hardly - but words are cheap. See 40/75 and 41/12 - - - and others.
Surah 69: At least 6 mistakes + 1 likely mistake.
00a 70/4a: “The angels and the Spirit (“ruh” in the Arab text) - - -.” The word “ruh” is used a few times in the Arab text – at least in 16/2, 78/38, 97/4 and here. It really means “the Spirit” or “the Holy Spirit”, but is f. ex. in 16/2 given another translation (“inspiration”). A number of Muslims wants it to be another name for the angel Gabriel (simply because it was he who was said to bring down the surahs to Muhammad, and it is said a couple of places that the “ruh” – the Spirit or Holy Spirit – brought down such ones, “ergo” the Holy Spirit = the angel Gabriel). But the logic is not correct – by means of the rules of logical deductions it is possible only to say they may be the same. And here is another piece of information that makes that deduction unlikely or impossible: The “ruh” – the Holy Spirit” - is not included among the angels. Neither is it the other places – which makes it highly unlikely logically that the Holy Spirit = the angel Gabriel. (In the Bible it is clear they are not the same).
001 70/4b: “- - - in a Day the measure whereof is (as) fifty thousand years - - -.” A solid contradiction to 32/5 and 22/47 which both say 1000 years.
002 70/39: “For We (Allah*) have created them (humans*) out of (base matter) they know! “ Man was not created; he evolved from an earlier primate. Any god had known. Also see 6/2 - Adam could not be created in a dozen different ways.
Surah 70: At least 2 mistakes + 1 likely mistake.
0a *71/6: “- - - (the non-Muslim’s*) flight (from the Right (Islam*)).” Can a religion building on the Quran with all its mistakes, contradictions, etc., be the right one? See 40/75 and 41/12? There is good reason for doubt. And if Islam is a made up religion like so many others - what then with all Muslims if there exists another one which is right and there is a next world? - - - and they are blocked from looking for it.
***001 71/15a: “- - - Allah has created the seven heavens one above another - - -”. See 67/3a, 67/3b, 67/5a and 67/5b above.
002 71/16: “And made the moon a lamp in their (the heavens’) midst - - -.” The moon is not in the midst of the 7 heavens (see 71/15a just above) of Muhammad. Any god - even baby god - had known, Muhammad not. Who made the Quran?
**003 71/19: “And Allah has made the earth for you as a carpet (spread) out.” The Quran describes the Earth flat - may be round like a disc, but flat. Wrong. (Similar description in 15/19, 20/53, 43/10, 79/30, 88/70).
Surah 71: At least 3 mistakes + 1 likely mistake.
**00a 72/3: “- - - He (Allah*) has taken neither a wife nor a son.” If Allah is not the same god as Yahweh, this may be true. But if the two are the same: Well, Jesus called him “father” many times and in front of thousands of witnesses. And as for a wife: In the really old Hebrew religion the god had a female companion - his Amat (source: New Scientist and others). But in the very male culture she was forgotten.
*001 72/8: “We (jinns – a being “borrowed” from pagan Arab religion, legends and fairy tales*) pried into the secrets of heaven, but we found it filled with stern guides and flaming fires.” The Quran tells that Allah use the stars like shooting stars – flaming fire – to chase away bad spirits amd jinns wanting to spy on heaven. No comments should be necessary.
002 72/9: “- - - flaming fire - - -.” See 72/8 just above.
003 72/13: “- - - listened to the Guidance (of the Quran*) - - -”. As for guidance from the Quran: See 41/12 and 40/75.
Surah 72: At least 3 mistakes + 1 likely mistake.
001 73/11: “- - - deny the Truth (of the Quran*) - - -”. See 40/75 and 41/12.
00a 73/15: “We have sent to you (O men!) a Messenger (Muhammad*) - - -”. Would an omniscient god send a messenger teaching a religion containing lots of mistakes and lots of hallmarks of a cheat and a deceiver? Islam will have to prove it - not only the usual undocumented claims.
002 73/16: “- - - We (Allah*) sized him (Ramses II*) with a heavy Punishment - - -”. For one thing: It is likely Ramses II got no personal punishment - he died years later. For another: We know from the Quran that the punishment was drowning - but Ramses II did not drown. Wrong.
003 73/18: “- - - the sky will be cleft asunder - - -.” How can vacuum be cleft asunder?
Surah 73: At least 3 mistakes + 1 likely mistake.
001 74/16: “- - - Our (Allah’s) Signs - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
002 74/56: “He (Allah*) is the Lord of Righteousness - - -.” A Lord making laws that f. ex. say that killing and raping and stealing are “right and good”, and who says that a woman shall be strictly punished for indecency if she is raped and cannot bring 4 male witnesses to the very act, is not righteous – on the contrary: He belongs to the most inhuman, worst and most unjust beings in all the universe. The last mentioned law – about the raped woman – is among the very most unjust laws that have ever existed (may be together with the law that says that stealing/robbing, extortion and killing in jihad – everything is jihad – is “good and lawful”), especially as Allah (if he exists and is omniscient) knows she is not guilty. On many points the opposite of benevolent.
Surah 74: At least 2 mistakes.
**001 75/8+9: “(The day when*) the moon is buried in darkness, And the sun and the moon are joined together - - -”. This is physically impossible the first some 5 billion years. And the day it may become possible, the Paradise as described in the Quran is not longer possible. Because - and not least: That day the moon will not be buried in darkness, but in intense light - and a day of doom and Paradise like described in the Quran will be impossible. That day both the Earth and the moon are buried inside the sun - if that happens (science is not quite sure the sun will balloon enough). But in any case the hugely swollen sun will make any place inside Jupiter too hot for a paradise on Earth or in the heaven over/around Earth - the Quran places Paradise there under a benign and everlasting sun. Also everlasting will be impossible and wrong, because science tells that in some 5 billion years the Earth either is inside the giant swollen, red (not yellow any more) sun, and sporting ca. 2000 - 3000 centigrades, or just above the then giant star and with a temperature of some 2ooo - 3000 degrees centigrade - hotter than in the flames of the Muslim Hell.
002 75/32: “- - - he rejected Truth (the Quran*) - - -”. See 40/75 and 41/12.
003 75/37: “Was he not a drop of sperm - - -?” No. He simply “was” not until a sperm cell and an egg cell had fused together. Any god knew this - Muhammad not. Sperm is no seed to plant in a woman to start growing like a pip of an orange.
Surah 75: At least 3 mistakes.
001 76/2: “Verily, We (Allah*) created man from a drop of mingled sperm - - -.” Wrong. Neither man (see 6/2 and 75/37 just above), nor a man (see 75/37) was made only from sperm.
*002 76/13: “- - - (the moon’s) excessive cold.” The moon often is up at night. Clear nights - when you can see the moon - often are very cold in deserts like in Arabia. But the cold is not because of the moon - that is just a coincidence because of a clear sky. It is cold because Earth radiates its heath to space - something Muhammad could not know, but any god had known it. Who composed the Quran?
003 76/16: “- - - Crystal clear, made of silver - - -.” This must be a mistake somehow – even Muhammad knew that something made from silver cannot be clear – transparent – like crystal. But if f. ex. Caliph Uthman made a mistake here when creating the official Quran, then how many more mistakes did he or others make?
004 76/21: “- - - and they will (in Paradise*) be adorned with bracelets of silver - - -.” Well, in 18/31 – 35/33 the bracelets are from gold. A small detail – but an omniscient god does not get even the details wrong. A mistake and a small contradiction.
005 76/23: “It’s We (Allah*) Who have sent down the Quran - - -”. See 40/75 and 41/12.
006 76/30: “- - - Allah is full of knowledge and Wisdom.” See 40/75 and 41/12.
Surah 76: At least 6 mistakes.
001 77/9: “- - - When the heaven is cleft asunder - - -.” How can vacuum be cleft asunder?
002 77/15: “- - - Rejecters of Truth (the Quran*) - - -”. See 40/75 and 41/12.
003 77/19: “- - - Rejecters of Truth (the Quran*) - - -”. See 40/75 and 41/12.
004 77/20: “Have We (Allah*) not created you from a fluid (sperm) - - -?” No. See 75/37.
005 77/24: “- - - Rejecters of Truth (the Quran*) - - -”. See 40/75 and 41/12.
006 77/28: “- - - Rejecters of Truth (the Quran*) - - -”. See 40/75 and 41/12.
007 77/34: “- - - Rejecters of Truth (the Quran*) - - -”. See 40/75 and 41/12.
008 77/37: “- - - Rejecters of Truth (the Quran*) - - -”. See 40/75 and 41/12.
009 77/40: “- - - Rejecters of Truth (the Quran*) - - -”. See 40/75 and 41/12.
010 77/45: “- - - Rejecters of Truth (the Quran*) - - -”. See 40/75 and 41/12.
011 77/47: “- - - Rejecters of Truth (the Quran*) - - -”. See 40/75 and 41/12.
012 77/49: “- - - Rejecters of Truth (the Quran*) - - -”. See 40/75 and 41/12.
Surah 77: At least 12 mistakes.
001 78/6: “Have We (Allah*) not made the earth a wide expanse - - -?” We know from other places in the Quran that this expanse is flat, and may be round like a disk. But Earth is a sphere.
00a 78/7: “(Allah made*) the mountains as pegs - - -“. Some Muslims say: Hip, hurray – here is a proof for Muhammad and the Quran: The science talks about the “roots” of the mountains – the mountains are like pegs! How could Muhammad know?! But mountain “roots” are not like pegs, but like bulges or distorted sheets (as mountains often are long and narrow – look at the chain Rocky Mountains + Andes f. ex.) or as distorted hemisphere. There exist deep pegs – or really sheets – pointing far down into the mantel (melted stone), but not in connection to mountains or mountain ranges really, though they may co-exist: They exist some places where large pieces of the Earth’s crust – tectonic plates – are forced downwards because of movements of the crust (tectonic movement). But that has nothing to do with mountains (even though mountains may be secondary results of the movement) – it is something entirely different.
*002 78/12a: “And (have We (Allah*) not) built over you - - - firmaments - - -?” For something to be built, materials have to be used – the heavens also from other pieces of information must be made from something material. Wrong: The sky as we see it, just is an optical illusion – or actually 2.
*003 78/12b: “And (have We (Allah*) not) built over you the seven firmaments - - -?” Wrong: See 67/3 a, 67/3b, 67/5a and 67/5b. Simply and doubly wrong.
00b 78/12-13: “And have We (Allah*) not built over you the seven firmaments, and placed (therein) a light of Splendour (= the sun*)?” The sun is not placed among (“therein”) the 7 firmaments.
004 78/19a: “And the heavens (plural and wrong*) shall be opened as if there were doors - - -”. There is nothing to open in open space.
005 78/19b: “- - - heavens - - -“. Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
006 78/28: “- - - Signs - - -.” Invalid as proof for Allah. See 2/39 above.
007 78/37: “- - - heavens - - -.” Plural and wrong. See 2/22a.
Surah: At least 7 mistakes + 2 likely mistakes.
001 79/24: “(Pharaoh Ramses II*) Saying: ‘I am your Lord (in this connection: Your god*), most High’”. The pharaoh was not the “most high” god in the old Egypt.
002 79/25: “But Allah did punish him (Pharaoh Ramses II*) - - -”. Wrong. We know from other places in the Quran that the punishment is said to be drowning. But for one thing Ramses II did not die by drowning, and for another thing: He only died years later.
003 79/28: “On high hath He (Allah*) raised its (heaven’s*) canopy - - -”. Heaven is no canopy. See 67/3a. 67/3b, 67/5a and 67/5b.
*004 79/30: “And the earth, moreover, hath He (Allah*) extended to a wide expense - - -”. See 78/6. As this is one of the last places in the Quran where the Earth’s form is indicated (flat), we may add that you will meet Muslims that insists that it is egg-shaped. This is taken from one of the translators that even Islam reckons not to be an outstanding one, Rashad Khalifa. He translates that the Earth is egg shaped. But the Arab original speaks about the ground that the ostrich flattens before it lays its egg = a flat area. Instead the clever Mr. Rashad Khalifa talks about the egg – and egg shaped!! And as this fits reality in a way (Earth in reality is a slightly flattened sphere - 21 km shorter diameter between the poles than at equator (an egg is the opposite) and with an ever so slight pear-shape) – though not the Quran – this mistaken translation often is quoted. (You never find that translation from a good translator).
Surah 79: At least 4 mistakes.
695 80/19: “From a sperm-drop He (Allah*) hath created him (man*) - - -”. Wrong. Neither man (see 6/2) nor a man (see 75/37) was created just from sperm.
Surah 80: At least 1 mistake.
Sub-total till here: At least 1739 mistakes + 212 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?
