Muhammad posed as an apostle of GOD yet his life is filled with lust fulness, (12 marriages and sex
with a child, slaves and concubines); rapes, warfare's, conquests, and unmerciful butcheries.
If you need violence to spread your religion then it is not the correct path.
Islam means submission, not peace. Comes from the root Arabic word taslim. The word for peace is
solh.

An-Nisa 4:101 – The infidels are your sworn enemies.
Al-Ma'idah 5:51 – Believers, take neither the Jews nor the Christians for your friends.
Al-Ma'idah 5:17 – Infidels are those who declare: “God is the Christ, the son of Mary.”

hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they
are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the jizya with willing submissions, and feel themselves
subdued.
Pickthal Surah 9:29: Fight against such of those who have been given the scripture (Christians and
Jews) as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by his
messenger, and follow not the religion of truth, until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low.
An-Nur 24:2 – The fornicatress and the fornicator, flog each of them with a hundred stripes. Let not
pity withhold you in their case, in a punishment prescribed by Allah, if you believe in Allah and the
Last Day. And let a party of the believers witness their punishment. [This punishment is for unmarried
persons guilty of the above crime (illegal sex), but if married persons commit it (illegal sex), the
punishment is to stone them to death, according to Allah's Law]
Al-Qasas 28:86 – Never be a helper with the disbeliever.
Surah 47:4: Therefore, when you meet the unbelievers, smite at their necks; At length, when ye have
thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or
ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah's will,
he could certainly have exacted retribution from them (himself); but (he lets you fight) in order to test
you, some with others. But those who are slain in the way of Allah, he will never let their deeds be lost.
Al-Fath 48:29 – Mohammed is Allah's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the infidels.
Al-Mumtahanah 60:13 – Believers, do not make friends with those who have incurred the wrath of
Allah.

No Muslim should be killed for killing a kafir (a disbeliever). (Volume 1, Book 3, No. 111)
Muhammad said, " No Muslim should be killed for killing a Kafir" (infidel). Vol. 9:50
Muhammad said, "Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him." Vol. 9:57
Many Qur'an translators have tried to soften the meaning in their translation by adding the words
“in war” in brackets after the word “unbelievers” but they are not in the original Arabic text.
How Islam Began:
Before Muhammad the Arabs had 360 gods - one for each day of the lunar year. Muhammad picked
Allah (Al-Iahi / Nanna-sin), who was the chief pagan Arab god, the Arab moon god, the son of Baal,
their war god, and their sword god. Nanna-sin was also simply called 'sin'. In Arabic the word for God
is 'llah', and the word for 'the' is 'al'. Combined 'alllah' contracted is 'Allah', which means 'the God'.
Pre-Islamic history tells us that many Arabian tribes were stone worshippers. This is also mentioned in
Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol 5, #661. The Old Testament also talks about Mideast pagan groups that
worshipped stones.
large black meteor found in the desert which many Arabs believed was sent to them by astral deities.
This rock was placed in the southeast corner of the cube-shaped structure in Mecca. The Arabs knew
this rock as the Ka'ba, which means stone. The black rock's diameter is about 12 inches. It is reddish
black in color, and has red and yellow particles. During this time before Islam this stone was part of the
shrine to worship of a chief male god (among over 360 other gods) who was known as Hubal. The
black meteor stone was said to symbolize a nature god known as al-Hajar al-Aswad.Hubal was an
oracular deity whose statue -- in human form and made of red carneol -- stood in the Ka'ba until
Muhammad destroyed it. The Kaba is about 50 feet high, and the walls are about 40 feet long. The
facade contains the door, which starts at 7 feet off the ground, and faces N.E.. To enter the Kaba, a
ladder must be used. Also built in the eastern corner, is another stone called "lucky". This stone is only
touched, not kissed. Pagans called out the names of their pagan gods as they circled the Kaba the same
as Muslims do today, calling out Allah's name. Early Meccan Pagans also ran between the nearby hills.
Muhammad authorized Muslims to do that in the Quran, and Muhammad probably ran between the
hills himself. So, even before Muhammad pagans were worshipping this black stone in the Kaba. Are
we surprised that although Muhammad proclaimed only one God, he continued to participate in idol
worship at this pagan shrine (Kaba); and Muslims still do idol worship there today? The black stone of
Ka'aba is nothing but a holdover within Islam, from pre-Islamic paganism.
There is evidence that black stones were commonly worshipped in the Arab world. In 190 A.D.
Clement of Alexandria mentioned that "the Arabs worship stone". He was alluding to the black stone of
Dusares at Petra. In the 2nd century, Maximus Tyrius wrote; "The Arabians pay homage to I know not
what god, which they represent by a quadrangular stone". Maximus was speaking of the Kaaba (Ka'ba)
that contains the Black Stone.
The Qurash (aka: Quraish) tribe which Muhammad belonged to was in charge of idol worship at the
Ka'ba Shrine. The chief god of Muhammad's tribe was one of the three sister goddesses called al-Uzza,
the youngest of the three daughters of the pre-Islamic Allah and the patron goddess of Mecca. Her
name means "the mighty one". The other two were named "al-Lat and "al-Manat". It was only by
chance that a fortune teller counseled Muhammad's grandfather against sacrificing Muhammad's father
to this al-Uzza pagan diety. The head of these pagan, animalistic deities was "Al-llah". It is believed
that "al-llah" in Muhammad's time before Islam referred to a vague moon god and that Muhammad
believed that al-Uzza was a daughter of this "al-llah".
The Qurash tribe's Allah corresponded to the god Bel, which is another name of the AssyrioBabylonian gods En-lil and Marduk. It has the same meaning as Baal. The Arabic today translates
the word Allah as "the God". Muhammad's father's name was Abd Allāh ibn ‘Abd al-Mullalib.
"Abd-Allah" means slave of Allah. When Muhammad says there is only one god - Allah - now
you have an idea what his background / thinking was; and who this Allah actually is. Muhammad
sincerely believed in the power of this black meteorite. So much so, that he made it a the central
point of Hajj (pilgrimage) to Mecca. The Hajj ends with everyone kissing this black stone as a
devotion to Allah.
The spread of Islam
Muslims actually call Islam themselves "Din e-Sif", or religion of the sword.
As Islam was introduced to the native Indonesians, the people found the religion was very adaptable to
their animism and pagan beliefs. Islam did not really change the beliefs but absorbed it instead, since it
did not bring something that was dramatically different than indigenous pagan beliefs.
For example, the beliefs in jinns (spirits and ghosts) and all the superstitious practices such as charms,
amulets, susuk, mantras (using arabic language - no one really knows whether it is a koranic verse or
not), witch doctors or shamans (dukun), and many others which are still widely practiced by the
Indonesian Muslims.
Then, after Islam gained stronger influence, the maulanas did use military forces to attack the Hindu
and the Buddhist kingdoms in their objective to Islamize the regions, just like they did anywhere else in
the world.
Muhammad marched with 3,000 followers against 2,000 Quraiza Jews in 627 A.D., shortly after
the siege of Medina ended. The Jews were attacked and they soon surrendered. A wounded chief
named Sa'd was asked by Muhammad to decide the fate of the captives. His response was that the
men should be put to death, the women and children sold into slavery, and the booty be divided
among the Islamic army. A shrill of horror ran through the assembled captives. Muhammad then
said; "Truly, the judgment of Sa'd is the judgment of the Lord, pronounced on high from above
the seventh heaven".
The Muslims dug trenches across from the marketplace, and in the morning Muhammad commanded
that the 700 male captives be brought out 5-6 at a time. The Jews were made to sit down at the top of
the trenches. Next, the Muslims beheaded them and tossed their bodies into the trench. This sickening
butchery by the "Prophet of God" lasted all day. It continued into the night by torchlight.
The booty was divided by the Muslims, slave girls given as presents, women sold, and property
auctioned. And yes, yet another convenient revelation came down from heaven justifying the stern
punishment meted out to the Jews.
Surah 33.26: "And He has caused to descend from the Jews that assisted them. And he struck terror into
their hearts. Some you slaughtered and some you took prisoner."
A Jewess named Zainab who lost her husband, father and brother to this Islamic butchery planned
revenge. She cooked a goat and laced it with poison. This goat meat was served to Muhammad for his
evening meal. Taking for himself his favorite piece (the shoulder) Muhammad next distributed portions
to Abu Bakr and his other friends. Mohammad spat out the first piece and screamed "Hold", "this
shoulder has been poisoned". One of Muhammad's friend who had swallowed part of the meat soon
died. Muhammad himself was seized by excruciating pains. Defending herself, the Jewess Zainab said;
Thou has inflicted grievous injuries on my people, and slain, as thou seest, my husband and my
father. Therefore, said I within myself, If he be a prophet he will reject the gift, knowing that it is
poisoned; but if only a pretender we shall be rid of our troubles.
Of interest is this emphatic declaration in Surat al-An'am (Cattle) 6:34
Muhammad's Treachery against the Quraish people of Mecca in 628 A.D. is what is behind the Muslim
principle of Takiya. In short, deceit and treachery is expected of Muslims - so long as it furthers the
cause of Islam. Toward that goal, Takiya is a well known policy in the Muslim world. Takiya is the
Muslim strategy that lets the Muslim feign peaceful intentions when the Muslim is weak. But this can
only last until the Muslim gains strength. It allows the Muslim to make treaties, even though the
Muslim knows in advance that as soon as he is able and strong enough he will break the Treaty. In the
evil Qur'an we can see this documented. In 628 A.D., Muhammad found his terrorist forces to be not
strong enough to to overcome the Quraish people in Mecca. So he signed a peace treaty with the
Quraish people known as the Treaty of al-Hudaybiyah. Consequently, the Quraish people trusted
Muhammad's "word" and they relaxed their guard and security posture. Immediately, Muhammad
began building up his forces in order to attack the Quraish people. He caught them off guard, when he
marched into Mecca with a much larger force and massacred the Quraish people.
In the third month of the eleventh year of Hijra, Muhammad fell sick and layed in the house of
his wife Ayisha in Medina. The recent death of his infant son, Ibrahim weighed his spirits down,
and the poison he had consumed at Khaibar still bothered him. A short time after returning from
Medina there were signs of serious illness in him, and his mind became somewhat unhinged by
fever. During this time his faithful servant Abu Muwaihibah says that during a fit late at night he
accompanied Muhammad to the cemetery called El-Bahia, where Muhammad asked forgiveness
of the dead who were buried there.
While dying, Muhammad said; "I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest
meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy), and while I
was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand".

A little after midday of 8 June, 632, the 62 year old Muhammad stretched himself gently and was no
more. Later in the night his followers dug his grave on the same spot where he breathed his last. They
spread his red mantle on the bottom of the grave, and his body was lowered into it. The grave was
made level with the floor, and brickwork was added. Muhammad's tomb is now close to the mosque of
Medina. Six mosques have stood on the same site as the present one.
The so-called "Prophet of Peace" who the Qur'an (Koran) commanded to fight 26 battles, and
who planned no less than 86 expeditions against innocent people (only the battle of the Ditch was
defensive) was no more. He gave no prophecies and performed no miracles. Within a century
after Muhammad's death, Muslim armies had reached as far as India in the east and Spain in the
west. They gave two choices to the people they encountered; either convert to Islam or die.
Biography of Mohammed:
The Qur'an and the Hadith are complemented by the Sirat Rasul Allah, (Life of the Prophet of Allah),
the first biography of Mohammed, written by Ibn Ishaq (768 A.D.) about a hundred years after
Mohammed's death. Ibn Ishaq was “the first to collect the accounts of the expeditions of the Messenger
of Allah and record them.” The sirat Rasul Allah, edited by Ibn Hisham (834 A.D.), has the story of
Mohammed's cousin and son-in-law, Ali:
Ali Ibn Abi Talib encountered a man called Umru and told him, “I indeed invite you to Islam.”
Umru said, “I do not need that.”
Ali said, “Then I call you to fight.”
Umru answered him, “What for my nephew? By God, I do not like to kill you.”
Ali said, “But, by God, I love to kill you.”
(The Biography of the Prophet, part 3, pg. 113; see also al-Road al-Anf part 3, pg. 263.)
During his early 13 years of preaching his message in Mecca, Muhammad was not driven toward
violence. He was also in fact tolerant and cooperative; even in the face of boycotts by the Meccans
against him and his new converts. After Muhammad moved to Medina, however, Muhammad turned
into a violent, cruel, lustful and intolerant man, who personally led raids on innocent caravans.
Beginning in Medina, Muhammad spread Islam militarily. Muhammad accompanied his terrorist army
on 27 raids . Muhammad, the warrior non-prophet who made no prophecies, fought himself in 9 of
these raids: Badr, al-Mustaliq, Hunayn, Uhud, al-Khandaq, Qurayza, Khaybar, al-Ta'if, and the
occupation.
Muhammad thought the "People of the Book" (Jews & Christians) also claimed allegiance to Allah,
Muhammad's early recitations about Christianity and Judaism in the Qur'an were irenic (Tending to
promote peace; conciliatory):
"O believers, be you God's helpers, as Jesus, Mary's son, said to the Apostles. 'Who will be my helpers
unto God?' The Apostles said, 'We will be helpers of God' " (Surah 61:14).
When Muhammad started preaching his new religion in Mecca he was conciliatory and appeasing to
Christians. He told them: "We believe in What has been sent down to us and sent down to you, our God
is the same as your God." Surah 29:46. And in Surah 2:62 it says; "Surely those who believe, and those
who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last day and does
good, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve. "
Christians and Jews in Muhammad's time treated Muhammad as a False Prophet:
Later, as Christians and Jews treated this self proclaimed prophet with sustain, recitations regarding the
"People of the Book" (both Jews and Christians) became more belligerent:
Compare this with what happened later, in Medina, after Muhammad gained strength and Christians
refused to follow Muhammad's Allah. Allah then tells him to "Fight those who believe not in God nor
the last day...Nor acknowledge the religion of truth (Islam), (even if they are) of the people of the
Book, until they pay Jizya (tribute tax) with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued". Surah
9:29
"And the Jews say: Uzair (possibly Ezra) is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the
son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved
before; may Allah destroy them; " (Surah 9:30);
"When Muhammad and his followers were about to attack Mecca to subjugate it to Islam, his adherents
arrested Abu Sufyan, one of Mecca's inhabitants. They brought him to Muhammad. Muhammad told
him: "Woe to you, O Abu Sufyan. Is it not time for you to realize that there is no God but the only
God?" Abu Sufyan answered: "I do believe that." Muhammad then said to him: "Woe to you, O Abu
Sufyan. Is it not time for you to know that I am the apostle of God?" Abu Sufyan answered: "By God,
O Muhammad, of this there is doubt in my soul." The 'Abbas who was present with Muhammad told
Abu Sufyan: "Woe to you! Accept Islam and testify that Muhammad is the apostle of God before your
neck is cut off by the sword." Thus he professed the faith of Islam and became a Muslim." (Ibn
Hisham, "The Biography of Muhammad" (Part 4, Page 11).
During the early stages of Islam, Muhammad was frustrated in his attempts to win over Mecca's
merchants and other powerful people, who were all polytheists (believe in many gods). Finally he
relented on his hitherto uncompromising monotheism and stated that it was permitted for the pagan
gods of Mecca --specifically, three female deities named al-Lat, al-Uzza, and Manat --to intercede
before Allah for the people. According to Islamic tradition, Satan took advantage of Muhammad's
desire for reconciliation and "put upon his tongue" as a revelation from Allah this rhetorical question
and answer: "Uzza and Manat, the third, the other"? These are the exalted Gharaniq (cranes) whose
intercession is approved." The pagan members of Muhammad's tribe, the Quraysh, were pleased; they
prostrated themselves before their gods as the Muslims were prostrating themselves before Allah, and
went out saying, "Muhammad has spoken of our god in splendid fashion."
How did Muhammad get out of this mess? Just as you would expect. "Miraculously" and conveniently,
Gabriel came to Muhammad and and gave a new Surah (22:51) which says that Satan routinely tampers
with the messages of the prophets. Reference: Page 69, "Inside Islam, A Guide for Catholics"
The Suyuti says in Asbab of the Nuzul (page 184):
"Muhammad was in Mecca. He read the chapter of the Star. When he uttered, ‘Have you
seen the Lat, the ’Uzza, and the other third Manat?’, Satan instilled in his tongue, ‘These
are the exulted idols (daughters of God) whose intercession is hoped.’ The infidels said that
Muhammad had mentioned their gods with good words. Then when he prostrated, they
prostrated, too. Thus, the above verse 22:52 was not inspired."
On page 282 of the Commentary of the Jalalan, we read the same interpretation, and the Jalalan added,
"Gabriel came to Muhammad after that and told him that Satan had thrust these words into
his tongue. Muhammad became sad, then Gabriel delivered this verse to him to comfort
him."
In his book, "The Kash-shaf’, the Zamakh-shari (A.D.1144) (part 3, pages 164 and 165), asserts that,
"This episode which Muhammad experienced is common knowledge and unquestionable,
and is related to us by the companions of Muhammad."
In the Koran, Surah 53:19 says 'Have you considered "Al Lat" and "al-Uzza" and "Manat" the
third other?' This passage was originally followed by the words 'Verily they are the exalted
maidens and their intercession is to be hoped for'. The polytheistic Pagans of Mecca were
delighted when Muhammad delivered this passage because it was a chant recited by the Qurash
tribe as they circled the Ka'aba while worshipping these three principle goddess of pre-Islamic
Mecca. This compromise also caused some companions to doubt Muhammad and leave his fold.
"Al-Lat" was the most famous of the pre Islamic pagan gods. She was the chief goddess (and
idol) of the tribe of Thakif at Taif, who tries to compromise with Muhammad, if only he could
destroy their god "Al-Lat" for 3 years.
The earliest authority on the life of Muhammad (Ibn Hisham) claimed that these words were uttered by
Muhammad at the "instigation of Satan" and are considered to the be Satanic Verses (not to be confused
with Salman Rushdies' book).
When Muhammad realized that his attempt to appease the pagan Meccans was causing his followers to
leave, he quickly made a slight alteration and a major omission to this passage by dropping the
sentence about the exalted maidens. To make matters worse, Gabriel allegedly came to Muhammad and
denied that he had revealed the word to him. ('Sirat'ul Rasool' as revised by Ibn Hisham, (vs. 239), and
Tabari pp. 1 192). Muhammad retained the named of the goddesses, and added that it was unfair that
God should have daughters while humans had sons (See Surah 53:19-23).
Muhammad adopted Zaid (aka: Zayd) because Muhammad had no sons. Zaid married a
stunningly beautiful woman named Zainab (aka: Zaynab). Once when Muhammad was visiting
Zaid's home he accidentally saw Zainab in scanty attire. Muhammad was overcome with lust. In
the Koran we are told that it was Allah who caused Muhammad's heart to desire Zainab. And that
it was Allah's Will for Zaid to divorce his wife so that Muhammad could marry her. Muhammad
married Zainab in June 626 A.D. This Allah therefore desires lust and coveting a "neighbor's"
wife. Naturally, his followers began to murmur about their pious prophet acting this way. So, lo
and behold yet another Surah was miraculously given some months after the fact from Allah that
absolved Muhammad personally (Surah 33:37).
There are three obstacles to Zaid's proposal to relinquish his wife to Muhammad. (1) The Islamic
stance regarding the evil of divorce; (2) The Quranic limitation of four wives per man; and (3) the
strong social principle that no distinction should be made between adopted sons and sons by birth.
After Muhammad took Zaid's wife he did a quick razzle-dazzle to cover his tracks. He conveniently
received another revelation (Surah 33:4-5, 40) that said; henceforth adopted sons should retain the
name of their natural fathers and that Muhammad had no blood tie to Zaid. Muhammad promptly
changed Zaid's name from Zaid ibn Muhammad, back to Zaid ibn Harithah. (The Quran Unveiled, pg
20)
Surah 33:37-38 (Noble Qur'an) Behold! Thou didst say to one who had received the grace of Allah and
thy favour: "Retain thou (in wedlock) thy wife, and fear Allah." But thou didst hide in thy heart that
which Allah was about to make manifest: thou didst fear the people, but it is more fitting that thou
shouldst fear Allah. Then when Zaid had dissolved (his marriage) with her, with the necessary
(formality), We joined her in marriage to thee: in order that (in future) there may be no difficulty to the
Believers in (the matter of) marriage with the wives of their adopted sons, when the latter have
dissolved with the necessary (formality) (their marriage) with them. And Allah's command must be
fulfilled. There can be no difficulty to the Prophet in what Allah has indicated to him as a duty. It was
the practice (approved) of Allah amongst those of old that have passed away. And the command of
Allah is a decree determined.
Or, was it more of Muhammad's scheming, and making up the rules to get his own way with this
beautiful woman? We note elsewhere where Muhammad laid with a 9 year old girl (Ayisha) when
Muhammad was in his 50's, and also a beautiful 17 year old Jewish girl (Safiyah) - one day after
Muhammad had her family massacred. Although Muhammad fixed the legal number of wives as 4 for
his followers, Muhammad let it be known that Allah gave Muhammad himself the special privilege of
any number of wives. Muhammad again miraculously received a Surah giving himself the privilege of
cohabitating with his female slaves.
Muhammad claimed the angel Gabriel transmitted the entire Koran to him from Allah while he
was living in the Hira Cave. At first Muhammad feared he had been overtaken by a "Jinn", a
troubling spirit. But Muhammad's wife Khadijah encouraged him that his visions were indeed
from God and that he had been chosen as his special messenger. Amr ibn Sharhabil says
Muhammad mentioned to his wife Khadijah that he feared he was possessed by demons and
wondered whether others might consider him possessed by jinn (Pfander 1910:345). He says
Muhammad said; “ When I went into seclusion I heard a voice. By Allah I feared that something
wrong was going to happen.” Also revealing is the report by Al Waqidi that Muhammad had such
an aversion to the form of the cross that he would break everything brought into the house with a
shape of the cross on it (Nehls 1990:61).
When Muhammad began to preach his new religion in 610 A.D. the leaders of Mecca were strongly
opposed. In 622 A.D. Muhammad was approached by the elders from a town located some 250 miles
north of Mecca who asked Muhammad to be their ruler. Muhammad accepted on the conditions that
they would also accept him as a prophet and that he could bring his followers. The exodus to this town,
later known as Medina is known by Muslims as the "hijra". The Meccans attacked the Medinans
several times, but the Medinans always managed to drive them off. In 627 A.D. the Meccans were
defeated by Muhammad's forces, and the Muslims returned to Mecca and cleansed the "kaba" of all its
idols. Muhammad continued to rule Medina, where he died in 632 A.D.
Muslims should be reminded of Muhammad's own humanity, fickleness and unworthiness. Muhammad
was extremely close to Jews in the beginning of his campaigns of rape, plunder, and murder. In those
days, Muhammad realized he could only capture Mecca and Medina with Jewish help.
Hoping to garner Jewish support for those military campaigns, Muhammad had yet another
vision that his Allah wanted Muslims to do their praying (salla or sallatun) facing (Qibla) the then
Christian city of Jerusalem.
Muhammad stopped this practice when he realized there was no hope that the Jews would join Islam.
Henceforth Muhammad and his Allah stopped the practice of facing Jerusalem and ordered all prayers
to henceforth be said while facing in the direction of Mecca. Yusuf Ali points out in footnote 141,
commenting on Surah 2:142, Muhammad chose Jerusalem for this purpose, but later on, when they
proved stubborn in rejecting his apostleship, he came up with a complete change in the direction of
prayer; that is, towards Mecca rather than Jerusalem.
In Surah 2:106 the Qur'an teaches, "And for whatever verse We abrogate or cast into oblivion, We bring
a better or the like of it; knowest thou not that God is powerful over everything?" But didn't Allah say
in Surah 10:65, "There is no changing in the Words of Allah," after this abrogation clause?
The Islamic Doctrine of Abrogation - is a Contradiction in the extreme. It basically says -on one hand
Allah is firm and unchanging in what he says - but on the other hand if it helps Muhammad's cause or
Muhammad's life style, Allah will change his words to suit Muhammad.
In this day and age we would even consider Muhammad a confused pedophile. Muhammad's sexual
appetite was legendary. Even "Sahih Al-Bukhari" says Muhammad slept with his 11 wives in one night.
Muhammad is estimated by scholars to have had somewhere between 15-25 wives. All agree that he
had 9 wives at the time of his death. Whether you would class Muhammad as a pedophile by today's
understanding is moot. The essential feature of pedophilia is that an individual is sexually attracted
exclusively or in part to prepubescent children. It can encompasses just desire, not just physical sexual
activity. We don't know what Muhammad's thought in life but his actions certainly don't look good: at a
minimum history attests to Muhammad's gross moral turpitude and sexual abuse. We also know that
Muhammad was a heartless terrorist who tortured people by cutting off their heads (over 700 Jews in
Medina alone), their hands and their feet. He also made captives die of thirst, and made people bleed to
death after cutting off their limbs. Muhammad took captives attractive female slaves into his harem,
and distributed the wives and children of his enemies to his followers as slaves.
Muhammad was sexually involved with at least 22 women. Although in the Quran he would limit his
followers to having four wives, he himself took more than four wives and many concubines. The
question of the number of women with whom Muhammad was sexually involved either as wives,
concubines or devotees was made a point of contention by the Jews in Muhammad's day. Ali Dashti
comments:
"All the commentaries agree that verse 57 of Surah 4 (on-Nesa) was sent down after the
Jews criticized Mohammad's appetite for women, alleging that he had nothing to do except
to take wives" (Ali Dashti, 23 Years, pp. 120-138).
Muhammad's first wife - Khadija, died a few years before he fled to Medina. Later, he was encouraged
to take another wife. At the age of 49 he was betrothed to Aisha, age six in 624 A.D. Aisha was his
closest friend's, Abu Bakr's, daughter. Abu Bakr was Muhammad’s daily companion and one of his first
believers and successor of Muhammad. We can rightfully imagine 6 year old Aisha picking up her toys
and moving to Muhammad's house, where he demurely waited until she was nine to have sexual
intercourse with him.
In the first year of Muhammad's residence at Yathrib (now Medina) the "Prophet" who never
prophesied, celebrated his marriage to Ayisha. Ayisha was then only a young girl (jariyah) of 9-years
old per Al-Bukhari, Abu Dawud and Tabari Aisha was 9 when they Muhammad sexually consummated
his marriage with her. Muhammad 52.
Aisha herself testified to these facts:
“The messenger of God betrothed me when I was six years old and then married me when I was nine
years old.”
Source: Sahih Muslim (by Imam al-Mawawy), vol. 3, p. 577.
Lying with a 9 year old girl in this century or in the 7th century is abominable. It was abominable
then in Arabian society also. Particularly distasteful about Muhammad, is that after Muhammad
deflowered this young 9 year old girl, he also taught that his followers were to follow his
"sunnah" or lifestyle. And his followers do follow the example of this warrior "prophet", who
made no prophecies.
Ayatollah Khomeini told the Muslim faithful that marrying a girl before she begins menstration
was a "divine blessing." He then told Muslim fathers: "Do your best to ensure that your daughters
do not see their first blood in your house."
The following is the story of Safiyah Bint Huyeiy Ibn Akhtab, the Jewish woman who was
captured when Muhammad’s troops attacked Kheibar and brought her to the Prophet as part of
his share of the booty. This story, is reported in the Book of Tabaqat Safiyah was seventeen and
very beautiful when Muslims killed her father, husband and many of her relatives. In the same
day the Prophet of Allah wanted to sleep with her. Here is the exact text of the story:
She was groomed and made-up for the Prophet by Umm Sulaim, the mother of Anas ibn Malik. They
spent the night there. Abu Ayyub al-Ansari guarded the tent of the Prophet the whole night. When, in
the early dawn, the Prophet saw Abu Ayyub strolling up and down, he asked him what he meant by this
sentry-go; he replied: "I was afraid for you with this young lady. You had killed her father, her husband
and many of her relatives, and till recently she was an unbeliever. I was really afraid for you on her
account". The Prophet prayed for Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (Ibn Hisham, p. 766) Safiyah had requested the
Prophet to wait till he had gone a stage away from Khaibar. "Why?" asked the Prophet. "I was afraid
for you on account of the Jews who still happened to be near at Khaibar!"
The reason Safiyah rejected the sexual advances of the 57-year-old Muhammad should be obvious to
any objective person. I believe most women prefer to mourn than jump into bed with the killer of their
father, husband and many relatives on the same day of their death. But the fact that the prophet of Allah
could not contain his sexual urges for one day to let this young girl grieve, says a lot of his thinking and
moral character.
“The next day a Walima (wedding-feast) was arranged on behalf of the Prophet…
Note that the historian is saying that the wedding took place one day after the prophet got private
with Safiyah and made his moves to have sex with her. This presented no problem for the
Muhammad as he had his Allah reveal a verse personally agreeable to himself saying it is okay to
sleep with women captured in war without marrying them even if they are married.
Islamic law has codified this principle of non-consent for under-age women based on Muhammad’s
precedent:
“A father may give consent to have his young virgin daughter married without obtaining her
permission, for she does not have a choice, exactly as Abu Bakr El Sadiq did to his daughter Aisha,
when she was six years old. He married her to the prophet Muhammad without her permission.”
According to all Muslim scholars (especially in Sahih Muslim) the temporary, contractual
marriage was made lawful by Muhammad simply to satisfy the sexual passions of his soldiers.
The “marriage” only had to last 3 days, after which the woman could be deserted and left without
any rights. Only the fact that it is temporary a “marriage” separates it from outright fornication
and adultery (forbidden in Islam), but there is practically no difference. It was practiced during
the beginning of the Islamic era (during the caliphates of Abu Bakr and Ibn Abu ‘Umar) and is
continued in practice today by over 100 million Shi’ite Muslims worldwide.
Concerning this practice the following Islamic authority states:
“While in the army, Allah’s Apostle came to us and said, ‘You have been allowed to have Muta
(“pleasure”), so do it.’ If a man and a woman agree to marry temporarily, their marriage should last for
three nights …”

Date: Late January (Rejeb), 623 A.D.
Place: Nakhla
Victims: 4 Merchants from Quraysh tribe of Mecca, the Tribe to which Muhammad himself belonged
Four UNARMED merchants were traveling to Mecca to sell their goods consisting of raisins, honey
and animal skins. It was the holy month of Rejeb which was considered sacred for trade in Arabia. It
was a point of honor that any form of warfare or violence was strictly forbidden in this month.
Muhammad's gang attacked the helpless men from behind and stabbed two of them to death. They
plundered all the goods as booty and Muhammad got one fifths of the share.
This shows the utter lack of morals or scruples on Muhammad's part. The Prophet of Islam did not
possess a shred of pity or kindness, or the slightest sense of justice. He cold-bloodedly murdered two
innocent people who had never done him any harm and did not even know him! All this was done in a
month that the Prophet himself declared was a sacred month in which no warfare should take place.
Muhammad was obviously motivated by nothing but hatred and greed.
Conveniently divine revelations came down from Allah that absolved him of all the guilt.
Koran (Qur'an) 2:216
'Warfare is ordained for you, though it is hateful unto you; but it may happen that you hate a thing
which is good for you and it may happen that you love a thing which is bad for you. Allah knoweth,
you knew not.'
Here Muhammad is completely removing all blame from himself, for having started the fighting. The
most insidious and devilish implication of this verse is that Allah is completely justifying Muhammad's
murder of the innocent Meccans. Over and above this Muhammad is conveniently implying that
warfare is hateful to him, but he participated in it because it was ordained by Allah! What sacrifices the
'Apostle of Peace' had to make!
Koran (Qur'an) 2:217
'They question you (O Muhammad) with regard to warfare in the sacred month. Say: Warfare therein is
a great transgression but to turn men from the way of Allah and to disbelieve in Him and the inviolable
place of worship and to expel its people thence is a greater transgression, for persecution is worse than
killing'
Here Allah is clearly saying that to kill or create warfare in the sacred month of Rejeb is a very grave
offence, but to justify his own violation of Allah's rules, Muhammad comes up with the idea that since
the people killed were unbelievers, it was perfectly okay! The reason given for the horrific murder of
the innocent Meccans, is the fact that they did not believe in Muhammad's version of God. How much
more tolerant and kind could the 'Great Prophet' be!
Slaughter of Meccans who came to defend their caravans
Date: March (Ramadan) 17, 623 A.D
Place: The well of Badr
Victims: 70 merchants from Quraysh Tribe of Mecca, The Quraysh army which came to defend them
The merchandise being carried by this caravan was worth more than 50,000 Gold Dinars. Muhammad
ganged up all the criminals of Medina and set out to raid the caravan with 300 men. The Meccans got
word of the raid and sent out an army to protect the caravan. Throughout the entire battle Mohammad
cowered in a hut which his men made for him. There he cried and prayed with feverish anxiety. At one
point he came out of the hut and threw pebbles in the enemy's direction, screaming 'Let evil look on
your faces!' and 'By him who holds my soul in his hands, anyone who fights for me today will go to
paradise!' The Muslims killed over two hundred and took seventy prisoners. All seventy of the
prisoners were ransomed, and any prisoner who did not fetch a ransom had his head chopped off.
"People of the Pit" are all Mohammad's latest victims:
Muhammad was gratified at the sight of his murdered victims. After the battle, he sent his followers to
look for the corpse of Abu Jahal, one of the Meccans who had criticized him openly. When his corpse
was found they cut off the head and threw it down at Muhammad's feet. The 'Apostle of peace' cried
out in delirious joy, 'Rejoice! Here lies the head of the enemy of Allah! Praise Allah, for there is no
other but he! It is more acceptable to me than the choicest camel in all Arabia' The Prophet then
ordered a great pit to be dug for the bodies of the innocents to be dumped. The Muslims then proceeded
to hack the corpses limbs into pieces. As the bloodied mass of bodies was being thrown into the pit, a
feverishly excited Muhammad screamed, ' O People of the Pit, have you found that what Allah
threatened is true now? For I have found that what my Lord promised was true! Rejoice All Muslims!'.
One of the prisoners taken was the defiant Al Nadr Ibn al Harith, who had earlier taken Muhammad's
challenge of telling better stories than him. Muhammad ordered Ali to strike off Nadr's head in his
presence, so he could watch and exult in the pleasure of beheading the man who had insulted him.
Another prisoner Uqba ibn Abi Muait (aka: Ocba) was decapitated in front of the Prophet. Before being
killed the prisoner cried out pitifully 'O Prophet, who will look after my children if I should die?' The
'Great Prophet of the Religion of Peace' coldly spat out 'Hellfire', as the blade came down and spattered
his clothes with Uqba's blood. Muhammad continued by saying; "Wretch that thou wast! "And
persecutor! unbeliever in God, in his Prophet, and in his Book! I give thanks unto the Lord that hath
slain thee, and comforted mine eyes thereby."
This time Muhammad needed a revelation that would not only absolve him of all the guilt for
murdering so many innocent people, but also give him the 'divine' right to get a huge share of the
plundered booty. Quite a few revelations magically appeared after the battle of Badr. There was a great
booty after this battle; which became a bone of contention between Muhammad and his band of
thieves. Like always, when it favored Muhammad--he soon received a revelation from Allah shown in
the eight Chapter of the Qur'an, titled Al-Anfal, "The Spoils of War", or "Booty", warning Muslims not
to consider booty won at Badr to belong to anyone except Muhammad. Ultimately Muhammad
distributed this booty and kept a fifth for himself.
"They ask thee concerning things taken as spoils of war. Say: (Such) spoils are at the disposal of
Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad): so fear Allah, and keep straight the relations between
yourselves. Obey Allah and his Messenger, if ye do believe." Qur'an 8:1
This successful battle and its great booty, after years of failure and military loses (including the
Battle of **Uhud in 625 AD, where the Muslims and Muhammad were routed) launched
Muhammad as a force to be reckoned with. When men saw the great booty that could be gained
by following Muhammad they began arriving in droves. Certain "rules of war" (doctrines of
Islam) were developed by Muhammad after this Battle also; such as:
Bloody vengeance against one's enemies belongs not solely to the Lord, but also to those who
submit to him on earth..
Those who reject Islam are “the vilest of creatures” and thus deserve no mercy. Qur'an 98:6
“Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers, smite at their necks;” Qur'an 47:4
**Battle of Uhud: Muhammad himself wore two coats of mail, brandished a sword and had a
tooth knocked out. Muhammad and his band were soundly defeated. Surah 3:142-143 chided
those Muslims who did not obey orders at the battle of Uhud. Verse 122 addresses those Muslims
who thought about deserting before this battle. It also shows us that Muhammad suddenly
became aware of his own mortality, probably because of this battle. Surah 3: 137-139 warns that
Muslims are to remain firm, even if Muhammad were to be killed in battle.
Koran (Qur'an) 8:65
'O Prophet! urge the believers to war; if there are twenty patient ones of you they shall overcome two
hundred, and if there are a hundred of you they shall overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve,
because they are a people who do not understand. '.
and also this Surah 8:67 conveniently sanctioned these assassinations: "It is not for any prophet to have
captives until he hath made slaughter in the land."
This Surah clearly exposes Islam to be a religion that not only encourages violence but actually makes
it a sacred duty for Muslims to kill anyone who does not believe in the Muslim version of religion. Not
only is the 'All forgiving Allah' exhorting his followers to kill anyone who is not Muslim, but he is also
saying that all non-Muslims are so stupid that they will be unable to defend themselves and therefore
deserve death!
From now on Muhammad proceeded to rid himself of opposition dangerous to him. "Even secret
conversations were reported to the Prophet, and on such information he countenanced proceedings that
were sometimes both cruel and unscrupulous." Muhammad next moved against the female poetess
Asma bint Marwan, who had never concealed her dislike Islam, and had composed couplets on the
follow of trusting a stranger who fought his own people.
Murder, rape, plunder and destruction are all perfectly fine with Allah - if done in the name of Islam
Koran (Qur'an) 8:67-68
'It is not for any Prophet to have captives until he hath made slaughter in the land. You desire the lure of
this world and Allah desires for you the hereafter and Allah is Mighty, Wise.. Now enjoy what you have
won as lawful and good and keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is forgiving, merciful.'
This verse is in reference to the prisoners that Muhammad held for ransom after the battle. Allah the
'Merciful' is saying that they should all have been killed! In addition, Allah is conveniently commenting
that whatever loot Muhammad has plundered is 'lawful and good' because it was done in service to
Allah. So murder, rape, plunder and destruction are all perfectly fine with Allah as long as they are
done in the name of Islam! Muhammad is also insidiously making himself seem very kind for having
spared the lives of the prisoners, when in fact he only let them live so he could get more money from
the Ransom for them. In today's world this is called 'Terrorism' of the worst kind.
Assassination of poets who criticized Muhammad's murderous ways
Date: Late March-April, 623 A.D
Place: Medina (aka: Medinah)
Victims: Two of the most famous poets of Medina, who had the courage to criticize the murderous
actions of Muhammad and his gang....
After the battle of Badr, the people of Medina were horrified that they had given refuge to such a
blatant criminal and his followers in their city. Many began protesting the presence of such violent and
murderous people in their city. In a free society like Pre-Islamic Arabia, the poets acted as society's
conscience and were free to criticize, satirize and examine the actions of people. The two most famous
poets of this kind were Abu 'Afak; an extremely old and respected poet and Asma bint Marwan; a
young mother with the gift of superb verse.
Muhammad was enraged at their criticism. When he heard the verses composed by Asma Bint Marwan
he was infuriated and screamed aloud, 'Will no one rid me of this daughter of Marwan!' That very night
a gang of Muslims set out to do the dirty deed. They broke into the poets' house. She was lying in in her
bedroom suckling her newborn child, while her other small children slept nearby. The Muslims tore the
newborn infant off her breast and hacked it to pieces before her very eyes. They then made her watch
the murder of all four of her children, before raping and then stabbing her repeatedly to death. After the
murder when the Muslims went to inform the Prophet, he said 'You have done a service to Allah and
his Messenger, her life was not worth even two goats.
A month later the distinguished and highly respected Abu Afak, who was over a hundred years old and
renowned for his sense of fairness, was killed brutally in the same manner as he slept. Once again the
"Prophet" had commented that morning 'Who will avenge me on this scoundrel!'
The Siege of the Banu Qaynuqa
Date: April, 623 A.D
Place: Medinah
Victims: The Jewish Tribe of Banu Qaynuqa
In order to get full control of Medinah, Muhammad needed to get rid of all his opponents. The
strongest of these opponents was Abdallah Ibn Ubayy, a powerful chief who was allied with the Jewish
Tribe of Banu Qaynuqa. This tribe was also the weakest, because they were made up of craftsmen, in
particular goldsmiths. By attacking them, Muhammad knew he could plunder a huge amount of wealth
and weaken Ibn Ubayy. Muhammad needed an excuse to attack them so he made a girl married to one
of his followers, pretend that she had been teased by the Jews. The Muslims blockaded the fort of the
Banu Qaynuqa for fifteen days until the starving Jews surrendered. Immediately, the Prophet was ready
to kill them all, but Ibn Ubayy seized hold of Muhammad and protested. Muhammad's face became
black with rage as he shouted 'Let go of me', but Ibn Ubayy was adamant and shouted back 'No, by
God, I will not let you go until you deal kindly with my allies. 400 men without armor and 300 with,
who have always supported me against enemies. And you want to slay them all in one morning! By
God, If I were in your place I would fear a reversal of fortune'.
At this threat, the cowardly Muhammad turned pale, as he realized that all the people of Medinah were
against him. He hit Ibn Ubayy on the face and ordered that the Jews be kicked out of their own homes.
All their property was seized and looted, many of the prettiest women were taken as prisoners to
become sex-slaves. Muhammad kept one-fifths of the enormous booty for himself. This is the way he
repaid the kindness of the Jews of Medina, who had given him shelter and a refuge, when Muhammad
had run away from Mecca in fear.
The revelations in the Eighth Surah of the Koran were clearly in reference to the Banu Qaynuqa and
anyone who opposed the Muslims.
Koran (Qur'an) 8:55-57
'Lo, the worst of beasts in Allah's sight are the ungrateful who will not believe.'
'Those of them with whom you made a treaty and then at every opportunity they break their treaty and
they keep not duty to Allah, If you come on them in the war, deal with them so as to strike fear in those
who are behind them, so that they may
remember.'
Muhammad Permits Killing of Women and Children:
Once when Muhammd was asked if it was OK to kill the women and children of those who believed in
many gods, or were infidels (non-Muslim), Muhammad said; "I consider them as of their parents." In
short, he said if the parents were infidels it is permissible to kill their children. Reference: "Islam and
Terrorism", Page 105.
Mohammed's First Converts:
Mohammed's biography, written 100 years after his death, listed his first converts as his aging wife
Khadijah, his slave/adopted son Zayd, his daughter Fatima, his 10 year old cousin/future son in law Ali
ibn Abu Talib and his future father in law Abu Bakr.
As a religious leader, Mohammed only converted 150 people. Islam did not rapidly expand till
Mohammed fled to Medina and became a political/military leader, stating (Hadith al-Bukhari, Vol. 9,
Book 84, No. 57):
Mohammed said, “Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him.”
Muslims are not encouraged to critically examine Islam's origins, as they could be accused of doubting
and punished by death. The University of Southern California's web page for searching the Qur'an
stated: “Warning especially for Muslims)...There is a real danger that Muslims...We would like to warn
you...”
Mohammed's Wives:
Mohammed's first wife, Khadijah, financed him while he prayed. After her death in 619 AD,
Mohammed, in addition to concubines, consorts and slave mistresses (Hadith al-Tabari vol. 9), had at
least 11 wives:
Sawda,
Aisha (Abu Bakr's daughter),
Hafsa (Umar's daughter),
Zainab and Umm Salama (whose husband died in battle),
Zainab (Zayd's former wife),
Juwariya (beautiful captive),
Ummm Habiba Ramlah (whose husband became Christian),
Rayhana and Safia (captive Jews whose husbands were beheaded),
Maria (captive Coptic Christian),
Fatimah,
Hend,
Habla,
Asma,
Ummm Sharik,
Maymuna,
Maymuna of Hareth, Zainab (third),
Khawla and Duba.
Mohammed claimed a fifth of the women taken as war booty, as later did the Caliphs and Sutalns.
“Prophet, we have made lawful to you...the slave girls who Allah has given you as booty.”
Al-Ahzab 33:30 – O wives of the Prophet! Whoever of you commits an open illegal sexual intercourse,
the torment for her will be doubled, and that is ever easy for Allah.
Ini the Hadith, Mohammed said:
Woman can be married for religion, her fortune, or her beauty. So marry one for the religion
(Abu Issa al-Tarmidi, Sunan al-Tarmidi, Medina n.d., pg. 275, B:4, H:1092)
Mohammed's youngest wife was Aisha:
The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six...Later...my mohter, Um Ruman, came to me
while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends...She took some water and rubbed my
face...Some women said “Allah's Blessing and good luck”...Allah's Apostle came to me in the forenoon
and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age. (Bukhari Vol.
5, Book 58, N 234; Vol. 8, Book 73, N 151)
After Mohammed died, a division arose in Islam:
Sunni Muslims believe Aisha's father, Abu Bakr, inherited Mohammed's authority and became the first
Caliph.
Shi'a Muslims believe Mohammed's cousin and son in law, Ali Ibn Abi Talib, who was married to
Mohammed's daughter Fatima, was the rightful Caliph.
How the Qur'an was created:
In Islam, theologians divide the Qur'an into the Meccan and Medinan suras. You will note that the
peaceful sounding verses come while Muhammad was living in Mecca toward the beginning of
his career as a terrorist, when he was busy calling Meccans to his service. During his Mecca stay
it was mostly about appearing pious, with prayers and meditation. The later suras came after
Muhammad left Mecca and went to Medina. It was during this later period when Muhammad
went wild with military power which followed with rape, plunder, and cold-hearted murders.
Zaid b. Thabit said: “The Prophet died and the Qur'an had not been assembled into a single place.” (pg.
118, Ahmad b. Ali b. Muhammad al'Asqalani, Ibn Hajar; “Fath al Bari”, 13 vol; Cairo, 1939/1348, vol.
9, pg. 9).
Zuhri reports, “We have heard that many Qur'an passages were revealed but that those who had
memorized them fell in the Yemamam fighting. Those passages had not been written down, and
following the deaths of those who knew them, were no longer known; nor had Abu Bakr; nor Umar nor
Uthman as yet collected the texts of the Qur'an.
“During the battle of Yamama, 450 reciters of the Qur'an were killed.” (The True Guidance, An
Introduction to Quranic Studies, part 4 [Light of Life – P.O. Box 13, A. 4503 Villach, Austria], pg. 47
citing Ibn – Al – Bidaya wa al-Bibaya, chapter on Battle of Yamam).
Muhammad's child wife said this after Muhammad died:
“The verse of the stoning and of suckling and adult ten times were revealed, and they were
(written) on a paper and kept under my bed. When the messenger of Allah expired and we were
preoccupied with his death, a goat entered and ate away the paper.” (Musnad Ahmad bin Hanbal vol. 6,
pag. 269; Sunan Ibn Majah, pg. 626; Ibn Qutbah, Tawil Mukhtalafi I-Hadith [Cairo: Maktaba alKulliyat al-Azhariyya 1966] pg. 310; As-Suyuti, ad-Durru I-Manthur, vol. 2, pg. 13).
Muhammad died in 632 A.D.
The first Caliph, Abu Bakr, the text of the Qur'an was collected by Zaid ibn Thabit from palm leaves
and stones and from the breasts of those who have learned by heart the various revelations. Abu Bakr's
copy came into the possession of Hafsah, one of Muhammad's widows. Qustalani states that after
Hafah's death her copy was torn to pieces by Mirwan, who was governor of Medina.
In 1972 during the Revolution of Sanaa capitol of North Yemen. Workers discovered a ton of old
parchment in the left between the inner and outer roofs. They were all put into 20 potato sacks.
Problems are...
It was found that the dating is between 705-715, 70 years after Muhammad's death.
No vowel marks or dots so individual words can have 30 different meanings making 1/5 of the
Qur'an incomprehensible even though it claims to be mubeen (clear).
Using forsenic lighting one can see that the Qur'an was written over erased words.
Next oldest Qur'an dates from around 790 A.D. And it is in the British Library. That's 158 years after
Muhammad's death.
Muslims often claim that the manuscript of the Qur'an housed in the Tokapi Museum in Istanbul,
Turkey is one of the oldest sources. Muslims say it dates from around 650 A.D. There is an
insurmountable problem with this. This document is written in Kufic (also known as al-Khatt or alKufi) script. Coins in the British Museum show that the first coins using the Kufic script date from the
mid to end of the 8th century (750-800 A.D.). The only script used during and after Muhammad's days
was the Jazm script. These earliest copies of the Qur'an are written without vowels and diacritical dots
that modern Arabic use to make it clear what letter is intended. In the eighth and ninth centuries, more
than a century after the death of Muhammad, Islamic commentators added diacritical marks to clear up
the ambiguities of the text.
The famous passage about the virgins is based on the word “hur”, which is an adjective in the feminine
plural meaning simply “white”. Islamic tradition insists the word hur stands for “houri,” which means
virgin, but Mr. Luxenberg who teaches at the Saarland University in Germany insists that this is a
forced misreading of the text. In both ancient Aramaic and in at least one respected dictionary of early
Arabic, hur means “white raisin.”
The Qur'an is not an authentic book or revelation. Much of the Qur'an was copied from early Christian
texts. Mr. Luxenberg has traced the passages in the Qur'an dealing with paradise to a Christian text
called “Hymns of Paradise” by a fourth century author. Mr. Luxenberg said the word paradise derived
from the Aramaic word for garden and all the descriptions of paradise described it as a garden of
flowing waters, abundant fruits and white raisins; a prized delicacy in the ancient Near East.
“I think the broader implications of some of the revisionist scholarship is to say that the Koran is not an
authentic book, that it was fabricated 150 years later,” says Ebrahim Moosa, a professor of religious
studies at Duke University, as well as a Muslim cleric whose liberal theological leanings earned him
the animosity of fundamentalists in South Africa, which he left after his house was firebombed.
The Samarkand (a.k.a Othman Koran) manuscript in the Soviet Library in Tashkent, Uzbekistan also
uses the Kufic script, indicating late 8th century. Only 1/3 of the original survives.
This Samarkand codice manuscript is considerably incomplete. It only begins in the middle of verse 7
of Suratul-Baqarah (the second Surah) and from there on numerous pages are missing. The next oldest
Muslim manuscripts are also from the 8th-century. One is written in al-ma'il script and the other in
Kufic. Neither of these correspond precisely to today's Qur'an. Also, in 1972, construction workers who
were restoring the Great Mosque of Sana'a in Yemen found a cache of manuscripts scraps that differ
and contradict today's Qur'an so badly, that Muslims try to hide this. These Yemeni Qur'an manuscripts
date back to the 7th and 8th centuries, and are actually the oldest found, and they are in Hijazi. Hijazi
(Makkan or Madinan) script, is the script in which the earliest masahif of the Qur'an were written.
These manuscripts calls to question whether the present Qur'an was delivered to Muslims in pristine
form. Your guess is as good as mine as to who in addition to Muhammad made up the Qur'an.
Muslims who have received the Qur'an have no solid grounds of faith, and that the foundation
of the Muslim faith is insecure and insufficient and the Muslim religion is futile, unless they observe
and follow the Taurat (Torah) and the Gospel (Injil).
Many Muslims Imams and Mullahs falsely point to Surah 2:140 to try and prove that Jews and
Christians had corrupted their Scriptures. Referring to the Jews, this Surah says; "...who is more unjust
than those who conceal the testimony they have from Allah?...?" Yet, nowhere does this Surah state that
the Jews and Christians corrupted their scriptures.
Jewish scribes painstakingly copied it via a system of checking, double checking and adding each letter
on each line. Any attempt to change something in the Torah would have resulted in immediate
discovery and condemnation.
The Koran is written in an esoteric, mysterious and vague style. Its rhythmic prose and the jingling
sounds of the words give great delight to Arab ears. It is also written in a incorrect, arbitrary and
haphazard order, as if the uninspired human - Muhammad died before putting it together correctly. In
addition to countless repetitions and redundant exclamations, the Qur'an meanders from one idea to
another, without any real connection between them. It reads as if a lot of uninspired, uneducated men
were renting their rage on many things.
The fact is that there are 225 verses in the Muslim Qur'an, which are cancelled out by later ones.
The biggest contradiction in the Qur'an (Koran) is that it says the Qur'an can be contradicted at
any time. God can change his mind, and change verses in the Qur'an, with or without telling
Muslims. This principle is called the "Doctrine of Abrogation."
The doctrine arose from a practical dilemma. Muhammad wanted to marry his daughter in law, but he
had already "revealed" the suras that prohibit Muslims from marrying their daughters in law.
Muhammad's solution was the doctrine of abrogation - the idea that Allah, through Muhammad, can
change his mind about anything at anytime and Muslims have to shut up and obey:
As related in Zamakh-shari, part I, p. 303 - Muhammad very frequently stated something to his
followers with the claim that it was revealed to him through the angel Gabriel. Just as frequent though,
Muhammad would tell them that God had changed his mind and invalidated it. Thus the infidels used
to say, "Muhammad utters something today and abolishes it tomorrow" (refer to ).
In Asbab al-Nuzul, p. 19, the Suyuti says that,
"Ibn ’Abbas himself said, ‘Sometimes the revelation used to descend on the prophet during
the night and then he forgot it during daytime, thus God sent down this verse: 2:106." (that
says, "Whatever communications We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring one better
than it or like it.")
Is it acceptable or sensible to think that God changes His mind during the night? Ibn ’Abbas is not the
only one who insists on that because ibn ’Umar says,
"Two men read a Surah which the apostle of God had taught them, yet one night they rose
up to pray but they failed to remember one word of it. The next morning, they went to the
apostle of God and related it to him. He told them, ‘It is one of those, which have been
abrogated, thus, forget about it.."’ (Refer to the Itqan, 3:74).
There is no changing the words of God;
that is the mighty triumph.
-- Surah 10:64
And recite what has been revealed to you of the Book of your Lord,
there is none who can alter His words;
and you shall not find any refuge besides Him.
-- Surah 18:27
Compare the above with these:
Whatever communications We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We
bring one better than it or like it. Do you not know that Allah has
power over all things?
-- Surah 2:106
When Muhammad was accused by his opponents of giving
contradictory statements in the Qur’an, as a result, he is said to have
received the following revelation that Allah replaced some of the text
of the Qur’an with a later text:
And when We exchange a verse in place of another verse -and God knows very well what He is sending down -they say, 'Thou art a mere forger!'
Nay, but the most of them have no knowledge.
-- Surah 16:101
"Ubayy entered the mosque and, hearing a man recite, asked him who had instructed him. The man
replied that he had been taught by the Prophet. Ubayy went in search of the Prophet. When the man
recited. Muhammad said, 'That is correct.' Ubayy protested, 'But you taught me to recite so-and-so,'
The Prophet said that Ubayy was right too. 'Right? right?' burst out Ubayy in perplexity. The Prophet
struck him on the chest and prayed, 'O God! cause doubt to depart.' Ubayy broke into a sweat as his
heart filled with terror. Muhammad disclosed that two angels had come to him. One said, 'Recite the
Qur'an in one form.' The other advised Muhammad to ask for more than this. That was repeated several
times until finally the first angel said. 'Very well. Recite it in seven forms.' The Prophet said, 'Each of
the forms is grace-giving, protecting, so long as you don't terminate a punishment verse with an
expression of mercy, or vice-versa - as you might for example say, Let's go; or, let's be off.' " (Tafsir of
Tabari.).
"A man complained to the Prophet, Abdullah taught me to recite a Surah of the Qur'an. Zaid taught me
the same Surah and so too did Ubayy. The readings of all three differ. Whose reading ought I to adopt?'
Muhammad remained silent. Ali who was at his side replied, 'Every man should recite as he was taught.
Each of the readings is acceptable, valid.' " (Tafsir of Tabari).
"Umar said, I heard Hisam b. Hukaim reciting Surat al Furqan and listened to his recital. On observing
that he was reading many forms which the Prophet had not taught me, I all but rushed upon him as he
prayed. But I waited patiently as he continued, and, collaring him when he had finished, I asked him,
'Who taught you to recite this Sura?' He claimed that the Prophet had taught him. I said, 'By God!
you're lying!' I dragged him to the Prophet telling him that I had heard Hisam recite many forms he had
not taught me. The Prophet said, 'Let him go. Recite, Hisam.' He recited the reading I had already heard
from him. The Prophet said, 'That is how it was revealed.' He then said, 'Recite, Umar', and I recited
what he had taught me. He said, 'That's right. That is how it was revealed. This Qur'an was revealed in
seven forms, so recite what is easiest.' "(Tafsir of Tabari). (See also Mishkat vol.III pp. 702-705). Also,
Al Baizawi (in his commentary on Suras 3:100, 6:91, 19:35, 28:48, 33:6, 34:18, 38:22, etc.) suggests
variations extant in his time. (Mizanu'l Haqq, page 261).
Isaac or Ishmael:
Israel promised to Abraham:
Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you. I will
make you into a great nation and I will bless you . . . all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.
[Gen 12:1 – 3.]
. . . a son coming from your own body will be your heir . . I am the LORD, who brought you out of Ur of
the Chaldeans to give you this land to take possession of it . . . . your descendants will be strangers in a
country not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years. But I will punish
the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions . . . In the
fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached
its full measure.[Gen 15:4 – 16.]
You will be the father of many nations . . . and kings will come from you. I will establish my covenant .
. . to be your God and the God of your descendants after you. The whole land of Canaan, where you are
now an alien, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you; and I will
be their God . . . . your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish my
covenant with him for his descendants after him. As for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless
him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve
rulers, and I will make him into a great nation. But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom
Sarah will bear to you by this time next year. [Gen 17:4 – 8, 19 – 21.]
Israel or Egypt?
According to the Torah writing by Moses, Ishmaels mother Hagar (Geneses 16:16) was Egyptian
(Hamitic) and his father Abraham was Hebrew (Shemitic) Hagar then found an Egyptian wife for her
son, and he in time fathered 12 sons, chieftains and family heads of the promised “great nation” of
Ishmaelites.
Thus, the Ishmaelites as a race were originally predominantly Egyptian not Arabian, not Jewish.
According to Islamic sources that came many, many years later unfortunately tells otherwise.
Their range of camping sites at times took them near Egypt’s border.—Genesses 25:13-18.
Improper genealogies:
Muslims believe that Mohammed is a descendant of Ishmael. As proof of their position, Muslims refer
to genealogies written around 770-775 A.D. by Ibn Ishak.
Ibn Ishak was considered by the Muslim scholars of his time as being guilty of forgery and fabricating
false genealogies
The fabrication went beyond this. The genealogies created by Ibn Ishak and others who came after him
inserted Arabic names into the genealogies which we find in Genesis. For example, Ibn Ishak inserted
the Arabic name “Ya’rab,” which comes from the word “Arab,” listing him as the son of “ Khahtan.”
Ibn Ishak then replaced Khahtan for Joktan, mentioned in the book of Genesis as the son of Eber, the
son of Arphaxad, and the third son of Shem, the son of Noah.We know that the term “Arab” didn’t exist
until the 10th century B.C. How, then, could it be inserted into history shortly following Noah, perhaps
around 5500 B.C.?
Mohammed rejects:
Mohammed, himself, rejected all of these false genealogies, and he put limits regarding the
genealogy of his ancestors. Regarding Mohammed’s own rejection of the false genealogies, Amru
bin al-As wrote:
Mohammed genealogized himself regarding his ancestors until he reached al-Nather bin Kinaneh,
“. then he said, “anyone who claimed otherwise or added further ancestors, has lied.
By this, Mohammed confessed that neither he, nor anyone else, knew about his ancestors beyond
al-Nather bin Kinaneh. Nather bin Kinaneh is the 17th ancestor in the genealogy which
Mohammed recognized as true. Other narrations of the customs, or sayings, of Mohammed, who
some called Hadiths, show Mohammed refused to be genealogized prior to Maad suggested, was
the 4th ancestor prior to al-Nather bin Kinaneh.
His closest contemporaries and followers considered the genealogies appearing at his time to be
false. Among the people who reported Mohammed’s opposition to such genealogies were his
wife, Aisheh, and his cousin, Ibn Abbas, one of the most important reporters of Mohammed’s
Hadith.
Fallacies in the Qur'an:
Ibn Ishak went still farther. He changed the name of Lud, the fourth son of Shem, to Luth. He
then made Luth the father of Amalek, who fathered the Amalekites. He also claimed that Amalek
and his tribe lived in Mecca, and he claimed that the ancient Egyptians were also descendants of
Amalek. He then made Amalek’s original name “Arib,” just to connect him with the Arabs.
Indirectly, through these false genealogies, Ibn Ishak claimed that Mecca existed at the time of
Noah and his grandson, Lud. This directly contradicts the historical facts we examined before,
showing that Mecca didn’t exist until the 4th century A.D.
Amalek is a descendant of Esau, the son of Isaac. Genesis 36:12 states that Timma was a
concubine of Eliphaz, the first born of Esau, and that she bore Amalek to Eliphaz. Amalek
became the father of the Amalekites, which was an Edomite tribe which originally lived in
southern Jordan, but moved to the eastern part of the Sinai, as was attested at the time of Moses.
The Amalekites became extinct after the 10th century B.C. There’s no mention of Amalek in any
inscription or in the writings of any Greek historian, which would indicate that the tribe lived in
central, western or northern Arabia.
There are other serious historical mistakes in the Islamic genealogies regarding the tribe of Thamud.
Thamud is an Arabic tribe which appeared in the 8th century B.C., as was attested at the time of the
Assyrian King Sargon II through his Inscriptions. Thamud later lost its political power about the 5th
century A.D. The Islamic genealogies attempted to back statements made in the Qur’an which placed
Thamud and Ad – another Arabian tribe which appeared after Thamud-as tribes which came right after
Noah. So they created a father for the tribe of Thamud and named him “Thamud.” Then they claimed
he was the grandson of Shem, the son of Noah. All this was created just to fit the narration of the
Qur’an.
The Qur’an claims that the tribe of Thamud was the third generation after Noah, ( The Qur'an
made the Arabian tribe of Ad to be second generation after Noah's generation; then Thamud as the
third generation, See Surah 7:69; 23:31,32;14:8,9) and it was condemned by Allah to be punished
by a wind. (The wind was the god who brought judgment in Zoroastrianism. We know this is also
an enormous historical mistake. Not only did Thamud not appear until the 8th century B.C., but
the official history, as shown by Assyrian inscriptions, demonstrates that Thamud continued to
exist during the 7th century B.C. Also, writings by various Greek and Roman geographers who
wrote about Arabia, said Thamud continued until the 5th century A.D. as a politically-organized
tribe which occupied a large part of northern Arabia. No wind destroyed the tribe, as the Qur’an
claims.
This should be enough to convince us, but there’s yet another enormous historical mistake in the
Islamic genealogies. This one concerns Nimrod. According to Genesis 10:8-11, Nimrod was the
first builder of the old cities of Mesopotamia. He was the son of Cush, the son of Ham, the son of
Noah.We can date him to between 5000 and 4500 B.C. Islamic genealogies correctly state that
Nimrod was the son of Cush, but incorrectly state that he lived around the time of Abraham. This
false claim about Nimrod was made to conform to a mistake in the Qur’an, which made Nimrod
reign at the time of Abraham. The Qur’an says Nimrod persecuted Abraham and cast him into a
fire which did not harm him. We read this in Surah al-Anbiya' 21:51-70 and Surah al-Safat 37:95.
The narration of the Qur’an is taken from the Jewish book called Midrash Rabbah, chapter 17.
Is Mohammed related to Ishmael?:
There’s no historical document written during the 2,000 years between Mohammed’s 21st ancestor and
the time of Ishmael, which claims the 21st ancestor of Mohammed was a descendent of Ishmael. And
there is no credible document written between the time of Mohammed’s 21st ancestor and his own
time.
Historians say that the family of Mohammed was a family which lived in Saba-Yemen. In the 5th
century A.D., Qusayy Bin Kilab, the 8th ancestor of Mohammed, gathered an alliance of many Yemeni
families forming Quraish, the tribe from which Mohammed later came. These families only came to
occupy Mecca in the 5th century A.D. The city of Mecca was built by the tribe of Khuzaa'h in the 4th
century A.D.
Mohammed’s family is not connected to any Ishmaelite tribe because Mohammed’s family didn’t
leave Yemen until the 5th century A.D., and that’s about 1,100 years after the Ishmaelites
disappeared.
Refuting the Claim About Jurhum
Ibn Ishak claimed that the tribe of Jurhum lived in Mecca as far back as the time of Abraham. He
also claimed that Jurhum was the grandson of Joktan, the son of Eber. He further claimed that
Jurhum’s original name was “Hathrem.”The significance of the name “Hathrem” is that it is
characteristic of Arabic-style names used at the time of Ibn Ishak, which was in the 8th century
A.D. The names given in the inscriptions of Yemen and northern Arabia are totally different from
the style of the names given in Ibn Ishak’s genealogies, which reflect the names of his generation.
It is a fact that no inscription, no Greek or Roman historian, and no geographer who visited
Arabia, ever mentioned a tribe called Jurhum. The first mention of Jurhum we find it in a poesy
of Ummyya bin Abi al-Salet, the maternal cousin of Mohammed, who also claimed to be a
prophet. The poem attributed to Ummyya says “the Lord of Ad and Jurhum”. First of all, the
poem most probably was composed after the event of Islam, because we do not have in Jahiliyah
pre-Islam any mention about Jurhum. The idea that many of the Jahiliyah poetry were added after
Islam is embraced by great scholars such as Tah Hussein, the famous Egyptian scholar. Secondly,
for the case of argument, if we want to admit the originality of such verse, we could not build
upon it a history that a nation called Jurhum existed in Arabia since the time of Abraham, because
Ummyya was contemporary of Mohammed, and he can't be a source of documentation about a
nation which would have existed prior to his time by 2700 years. Because there were no archiving
methods and no printing like we have today, it’s commonly accepted that tradition can be
considered accurate only if it was written within four centuries of the writers. If Jurhum existed as
tribe in Arabia, it could have been a small tribe that appeared some time after the Christian era.
Since no classical writer mentioned this tribe, if existed, it should have been insignificant.
Ummyyia's poems are full of myths: such as his claim that the Queen of Saba, who visited king
Solomon was his aunt; he claimed this to justify his claim to the role of prophecy. In addition,
Ummyyia had relationship with a Jinn-devil, who used to instruct him, which proves that he was
a part of the occult religion of Arabia. If we want to accept this poem as composed by him, how
can we rely on poems of such personality to establish history dating back to 2700 years before his
time?
There are 2,670 years between Ishmael and Mohammed; a large span of time
which cannot be covered with only 40 generations.
Ibn Ishak listed 40 ancestors. He wasn’t aware, when he fabricated his genealogy, that 40
ancestors are not sufficient to cover the great time span between Ishmael and Mohammed.
Ishmael lived around 2050 B.C., while Mohammed emigrated to Medina around 620 A.D.
Therefore, there are about 2,670 years between Ishmael and Mohammed. How can this great
period be covered by only 40 ancestors?
By contrast, the Gospel of Matthew reports the genealogy of Jesus Christ as far back as Abraham.
We find 42 ancestors between Abraham and Jesus, though it’s a period of only l,950 years. The
genealogy of Mohammed must account for another 720 years.
Another thing to consider is that a Jewish generation is longer than an Arabian generation.
Consider the ancestors of Isaac from Abraham to King David. Many of these men fathered their
first-born when they were 40 or 50 years old. We see that between the captivity in Babylon in 586
B.C., and the birth of Jesus, there are 14 generations. This shows that the Jewish generation in
that period was around 41 years. But when we come to the Arabian generations, we can’t allow
41 years for each generation. Scholars consider an Arabian generation to have been about 20
years, because Arabians married when they were about 17-20 years old, due to weather and their
cultural environment.
Let’s look at this another way. If we assume that the 21st ancestor of Mohammed is known, and
if we make a generation 25 years rather than 20 years, then ancestor number 21 would still be 525
years distant from Mohammed. This means that the 21st ancestor of Mohammed lived between
50-70 A.D. This would make the gap between him and Ishmael about 2,000 years.
Except for the linage of Jesus, no family in history had ever verified their ancestors over a period
of 2,000 years. The family of Joseph, who was from the royal lineage of Judah, and the family of
Mary, who was from the same tribe, could account for their ancestors as far back as Abraham.
Because there have been documented, written books of the Bible in each generation, the facts are
verified again and again. They give testimony to the promise God made to Abraham and to Isaac,
son of Abraham, which God then confirmed to almost every member of the Messianic genealogy.
God’s divine promise accompanied others in the Messianic line, such as Isaac, his son, Jacob, and
Jacob’s son, Judah, as it was recorded by Moses in the book of Genesis, the first book of the
Bible.
As if this were not enough evidence that Mohammed couldn’t have descended from Ishmael, we
have the testimony of thousands of inscriptions, annals and archaeological records which speak
about hundreds of rulers in Arabia who belonged to many different tribes, but no inscription or
record includes material on any of the ancestors of Mohammed
Others who claimed to be prophets:
Yet, there were those people in Arabia, specifically at the time of Mohammed, who knowingly held to
the claim that they were descendents of Biblical figures. Men who claimed to be prophets often
claimed to descend from known figures in history, or from people mentioned in the Bible. Umayya bin
abi al-Salt, a maternal cousin of Mohammed, claimed to be a prophet. He said the Queen of Sheba, who
visited Solomon, was his aunt. He said this to establish that he was from the line of her brother. Also
Tubb'a (the Yemeni leader who ruled between A.D. 410 and 435 and occupied Mecca) claimed to be a
prophet and claimed that the Queen of Sheba was his aunt. Throughout history we have had people like
Umayya bin Abi al-Salt, who wanted to be prophets over their people. They made their claims because
knew that many around them were naive and ignorant and wouldn’t refute their claims.

Kaaba:
If the Arabian's "Allah" commissioned the Kaaba to be constructed at the center of the world, below the
gate to heaven, why then did YHWH (Yahweh) give David the site location and detailed instruction for
a tabernacle on Mount Moriah that was built by his son Solomon over 3,000 years ago, and rebuilt by
Herod over 2500 years ago, that stood 666 nautical miles from Mecca?
Mecca is located 1,000 kilometers - across barren desert - away from the Holy Land. The record of
Abraham's journey as detailed in Scripture and confirmed by archaeology, precludes any notion of
Abraham, Hagar, or Ishmael ever having been in Mecca. Additionally, they lived almost 1,000 years
before the first caravan route was ever established along the Red Sea in Arabia. Indeed Abraham's
journey never brought him within about 1000, to as much as 1500, kilometers of Mecca.
If Mecca had been the epicenter of Islam since the time of Adam, it would follow that
there would be increasingly more archaeological evidence, the closer one traveled to this
focal point of Mohammed's 7th century religion. It also follows that there would be a
greater pre-Mohammed historical record for Mecca than any other Arabian city, but no
such record exists. Again, compare that with Jerusalem where the closer one gets to this
historical epicenter of Judaism and Christianity, the more abundant artifacts become.
on closer inspection Islamic rituals are found to be little more than thinly repackaged pagan Arabian
moon, sun, star and jinn-demon worship, embellished by books inspired by Hebrew and Arabian fables
that Mohammed learned during his early travels, was taught by friends like Jabr, his wives and
concubines, as well as influence by Zoroastrianism and the 2nd century occult cult of the Sabians. So
deeply involved was Mohammed and three of his cousins in the cult of the Sabians, that folks in his
own tribe referred to Mohammed as “the Sabian”. Indeed Mohammed mentions the Sabians right
alongside Christians in the Quran. It should be no surprise then to learn that the Sabians prayed five
times a day and practiced ablution, which are rituals that Mohammed incorporated into his religion,
with a claim that the practices were dictated to him while taking an overnight ride on a flying donkey
mule from Mecca, to Jerusalem, to Heaven and then back to Mecca by morning.
The historical record suggests that Mecca was settled around the 4th century A.D. by the
Yemeni tribe of Khuzaa'h, joined later by Mohammed’s tribe the Quraish. The Kaaba
was built around the early 5th century likely by Asa'd Abu Karb, for Arabian Star Family
worship after the black stone made it's way to Mecca, most likely from Yemen. Early
reporters recounted that prior to the construction of the Kaabah, a tent occupied the site.
The Kaaba eventually housed 360 idols dedicated to Arabian moon, sun, star and jinn
(demon) worship. It is no secret that the black stone that Muslims still prostrate
themselves toward 5 times a day, venerate, and circumambulate, is the same black stone
idol that pagan Arabians venerated and circumambulated. In other words, the Quraish
established the rituals that Mohammed eventually adopted and then adapted to his
religion.
No Mecca before the 4th century - no Kaaba before the 5th century - means no
foundation whatsoever underpinning Islamic "tradition". That leaves Islam as
Mohammed’s stand-alone 7th century invention. Since Abraham, Hagar and Ishmael
never lived or traveled within 1,000 km from where Mecca was eventually built, and
lived nearly 1,000 years before the first caravan ever traveled along the Red Sea in
Arabia, the truth is undeniable.
Is it reasonable to believe that Yahweh would consign His temple to be situated 1200 kilometers away
from the Holy Land, in a valley where it would be inundated by five feet of urban floodwater that is
always laced with sewage?
Or would He consign His temple to be built with a temple mount, situated on a hill (God's footstool), as
the true record of the temple in the Holy Land of the prophets and patriarchs of the one true God
YHWH was?
Baca is Mecca?:
The popular entertainer Ahmed Deedat taught that an Old Testament reference to a place
that went by the Hebrew name of "Baca", is somehow related to a 7th century Quraish
Arabic word referenced one time in the Quran (3:96) as "Bakka" (Bakkah), even though
it was penned some 1500 years after the Hebrew and in a relatively young language of
about 300 AD.
While there is no historical or archaeological evidence that suggests that Mecca ever
existed prior to the 4th century AD or it's Kaaba before the early 5th century when Asa’d
Abu Karb built it for Arabian Star Family worship, the black stone idol of which is still
housed in the kaaba to this day. Some Muslims wish to believe that there is at least a
scriptural record of Mecca mentioned in the Old Testament as "Baca", by removing the
following verse from context and suggesting a similarity between the Hebrew name
"Baca" and the Arabic name "Bakkah", from the Quran.
Psalms 84:6 [Who] passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also
filleth the pools.
Since there is a reference to a "well" some become even more convinced, believing it
must be the well of Zamzam, even though there were water wells all over the known
world. This even though Islamic history records that the well of Zamzam was dug by
Mohammed's grandfather Abdel Mutaleb in the 6th century, who dedicated it to the most
venerated priest and priestess of the Arabian jinn religion, Asaf and Naelah.
Blessedly we can set all the speculation about Baca and Bakkah aside by simply reading
the next verse:
84:7 They go from strength to strength, [every one of them] in Zion appeareth before
God.
Zion is mentioned 153 times in the Bible because it is the name of the easternmost hill
of the city of Jerusalem. Thus we see this passage describing a journey to ZION - to
Jerusalem - to the Holy Land. Baca simply being a stop along the way. It's obviously
absurd to suggest that this pilgrimage of God's Old Testament saints, rather than
traveling to the temple that God had them build in Zion, instead wandered 1200
kilometers across harsh barren, unexplored Arabian desert, so many hundreds of years
before the first caravan route was ever established along the Red Sea, to a town of which
there is no historical or archaeological record prior to the 4th century A.D., and then
turned around and wandered back the 1200 kilometers!
Indeed pilgrimage to the Holy Land continue unto today.
In regard to the valley of Baca referenced in Scripture, which means balsam trees and
weeping, search – battle Jerusalem balsam trees - then try – mulberry balsam trees.
“The Valley of Rephaim lay southwest of Jerusalem and formed part of the boundary
between Judah and Benjamin (Joshua 15:8). It may correspond to the ‘Valley of Baca’
(Psalm 84:6), due to the balsam trees that were there (1 Chronicles 14:14-15). These are
named, literally, ‘weepers’ because of their drops of milky sap.” (Payne)
The historical record in Scripture, confirmed by the archaeological record, tell us that Abraham's
journey was largely in the opposite direction of Mecca in the "Fertile Crescent".
Is the Bible corrupted:
The New Testament is constantly under attack and its reliability and accuracy are often contested by
critics. But, if the critics want to disregard the New Testament, then they must also disregard other
ancient writings by Plato, Aristotle, and Homer. This is because the New Testament documents are
better-preserved and more numerous than any other ancient writings. Because they are so numerous,
they can be cross checked for accuracy... and they are very consistent.
There are presently 5,686 Greek manuscripts in existence today for the New Testament. If we were to
compare the number of New Testament manuscripts to other ancient writings, we find that the New
Testament manuscripts far outweigh the others in quantity.

As you can see, there are thousands more New Testament Greek manuscripts than any other ancient
writing. The internal consistency of the New Testament documents is about 99.5% textually pure. That
is an amazing accuracy. In addition there are over 19,000 copies in the Syriac, Latin, Coptic, and
Aramaic languages. The total supporting New Testament manuscript base is over 24,000.
Almost all biblical scholars agree that the New Testament documents were all written before the close
of the First Century. If Jesus was crucified in 30 A.D., then that means that the entire New Testament
was completed within 70 years. This is important because it means there were plenty of people around
when the New Testament documents were penned who could have contested the writings. In other
words, those who wrote the documents knew that if they were inaccurate, plenty of people would have
pointed it out. But, we have absolutely no ancient documents contemporary with the First Century that
contest the New Testament texts.
Furthermore, another important aspect of this discussion is the fact that we have a fragment of the
gospel of John that dates back to around 29 years from the original writing (John Rylands Papyri 125
A.D.). This is extremely close to the original writing date. This is simply unheard of in any other
ancient writing and it demonstrates that the Gospel of John is a First Century document.
Below is a chart with some of the oldest extant New Testament manuscripts compared to when they
were originally penned. Compare these time spans with the next closest which is Homer's Iliad where
the closest copy from the original is 500 years later. Undoubtedly, that period of time allows for more
textual corruption in its transmission. How much less so for the New Testament documents?

No. 1 Attempt to set Paul against Jesus
Muslims often make the claim that Paul never met Jesus and was not a disciple or apostle of Jesus. Of
course, this is not true. Paul encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus in Acts 9, after Jesus'
resurrection. Jesus spoke to him and commissioned him. So, Paul met Jesus. Furthermore, Paul visited
the Jerusalem apostles Peter, James, and John who affirmed Paul's mission and message (See Galatians
2:9. Also, see the context of Galatians 1:18 – 2:10.) Peter, who was a disciple of Jesus, personally
authenticated Paul's writings by calling them scripture in 2 Peter 3:15-16. If they are inspired, then they
cannot contradict Jesus' words.
In addition, many Muslims claim that Jesus never claimed to be God and that Paul is the one who wrote
that Jesus was God. First of all, if they admit that Paul wrote that Jesus was God, then remind them of 2
Peter 3:15-16 where Peter calls Paul's writings Scripture and affirms Paul's message in Galatians 2:9.
Nevertheless, they sometimes assert that Paul hijacked Christianity and took it over and made Jesus
into something He was not. This claim is false.
Perhaps the primary area where Muslims think Paul and Jesus contradict is in the area of who Jesus is.
Paul states that Jesus is God in flesh: Colossians 2:9 says, "For in Him the fullness of deity dwells in
bodily form," (cf. Romans 9:5). Muslims assert that no where in the Gospels did Jesus claim to be God.
Therefore, they claim, Paul's words are not true and the Bible is not trustworthy.
This attack by Muslims is an attack based out of opinion. Jesus did claim to be God. In John 8:56-59,
Jesus says, "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad."The Jews
therefore said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?"Jesus said to
them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am."Therefore they picked up stones to
throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself, and went out of the temple." Why did the Pharisees want to kill
Jesus? They explain their reason in John 10:33 when they say, "For a good work we stone thee not; but
for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God," (KJV). Whether or not the
Muslim will accept this, let alone agree that this is correct, matters little because his presupposition will
not allow him to accept, no matter what. Nevertheless, the text clearly states that the Pharisees
understood that Jesus was claiming to be God. Also, consider John 5:18 where the Apostle John says,
"Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said
also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God," (KJV). In this verse Jesus healed on the
Sabbath and the Pharisees thought He was breaking the Sabbath law. John the Apostle also states that
when Jesus claimed that God was His Father, that it was "making himself equal with God." The
Muslim will always find a way to argue out of these texts. But, two facts remain. First, Jesus claimed to
be God. Second, the Pharisees denied that Jesus was God and the Muslims agree with them.
No. 2 Misinterpreting various Scripture passages
A very good example of misrepresentation of biblical passages can be found in a dialogue I had with a
Muslim regarding John 1:1,14. These verses say, "In the beginning was the word and the word was
with God and the word was God." Verse 14 says "and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us..."
The Muslim I was speaking to reasoned thus:
If the word is God then we can insert the word "god" into the verse each time it says
"word." Therefore, we would have it say 'In the beginning was the God and the God was
with God and God was God.' As you can see, this makes no sense. Therefore, when you go
to verse 14 where it says the word became flesh, it cannot mean that God became flesh,
because John 1:1 makes no sense."
As you can see, this kind of logic is very bad. First of all, John 1:1 does not say what he said it does. It
does not speak in contradictory terms the way he tried to make it sound. Instead, it uses both the word
"word" and the word "god" in the sentence. I told him that he needed to go with what the text does say
and not with what it does not say. In other words, he reconstructed it in such a way as to purposely not
make sense and then he attacked that.
Suras 2:87, 29:46, 32:23, 5:44, 6:154, 6:155 that Allah confirmed the Torah.
Suras 2:87, 5:46, 5:68, 29:46, 43:63 that Allah confirmed the Injeel (Bible).
Must not have been corrupted in 610 AD when Allah told Mohammed:
Yunus 10:94 – If thou (Mohammed) art in doubt concerning that which We reveal unto thee, then
question those who read the Book that was before thee. Verily the Truth from thy Lord hath come unto
thee.
At-Imran 3:3 – It is He Who sent down to thee (step by step), in truth, the Book confirming what went
before it; and He sent down the Taurat (Torah Law of Moses) and the Injeel (Evangel Gospel of Jesus)
before this, as a guide to mankind, and He sent down the criterion (of judgment between right and
wrong).
Surah 5:68: Say. “O People of the Book! Ye have no ground to stand upon unless ye stand fast by the
law (Torah), the Gospel (Injeel), and all the revelation that has come to you from your Lord.”
Surah 29:46: Muslims are told by Allah, not to question the authority of the scriptures of the Christians,
saying, “And dispute ye not with the People of the Book, but say, “We believe in the revelation which
has come down to us and in that which came down to you; Our Allah and your Allah is one;
Archeological discoveries, Dead Sea Scrolls and critical scholarship have confirmed that the Law,
Psalms, Prophets and Gospels have remained virtually unchanged. Fouad Masri examined this in “Is
the Injeel Corrupted? My Search for the Truth About the New Testament” (CrescentProject.org, Box
50986, Indianapolis, IN 46250)
Dr. Gary R. Habermas, author of “The Historical Jesus Ancient Evidence For The Life of Christ,
(College Press Publishing, 1996) cites that documents like the Dead Sea Scrolls confirm the accuracy
of the Old Testament, and over 5,000 complete and partial ancient texts confirm the accuracy of the
New Testament, making the Bible the most thoroughly documented piece of ancient literature.
Events contained in the Gospel are also confirmed by ancient non-biblical and extra-biblical sources,
such as:
Tacitus (ca. 56-ca. 117 AD)
Suetonius (ca. 50-ca 170 AD)
Pliny the Younger (ca. 61-ca. 113 AD)
Trajan (53-117)
Hadrian (76-138 AD)
Lucian (ca. 125-ca. 180 AD)
Mara Bar Serapion (prior ca. 73-no later than ca. 200 AD)
Tertullian (ca. 155-230 AD)
Robert M. Bowman, Jr., author of eleven books, including “Faith Has Its Reasons – An Apologetics
Handbook (Paternoster, 2006), explains that most variances between ancient New Testament texts are
mostly in the category of spelling and punctuation. When all texts and versions are examined together,
there is virtually no theological difference between the first century and today.
Muslim scholars explain the understanding that “text” of the Law of Moses and Gospels were
not corrupted, only the interpretation of them. Therefore the Law of Moses and Gospels should be read
by Muslims, as one of the six articles of Islamic faith requires belief in the Scriptures: the Law of
Moses-Torah (Taurat-Tawrat), the Psalms of David (Zabur) and the Gospels of Jesus (Injeel-Injil):
Al-Baraqah 2:136 - Say (O Muslims): We believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us and that
which was revealed unto Abraham (Ibrahhim) and Ishmael (Ismail) and Isaac (Ishaq), and Jacob
(Yaqoub), and the tribes, and that which Moses (Musa) and Jesus (Isa) received.
Tahrif is referred to Torah once in Surah 5:13 but never the Injeel. Qur'an attest to the validity of the
Christian gospels, Zabur (Psalms), and Torah.
The Jewish and Christian Bibles were written by inspired men of GOD who immediately committed
GOD's WORD to writing. Islam doesn't even have either an original or inspired Qur'an. The Muslim
Qur'an was made supposedly from memory from those who supposedly committed the words of
Muhammad to memory, and from a few scraps found under a bed. This was originally begun about 1520 years after Muhammad died at his wife Ayish's home in Medina, and he was lowered into a hole in
the ground, where he remains. The compilation was not finished until at least 150 years after
Muhammad's death.
Those who think the Law of Moses and Gospels were corrupted cannot explain which verses were
corrupted, when they were corrupted or by whom. If the Law of Moses and Gospels could be corrupted
by mortal man, then so could the Qur'an. (indeed, some scholars speculate about verses Caliph Uthman
may have chosen not to include when he compiled the first Qur'an in 651 AD.)
Suras 6:34, 6:115, 10:64 and 50:28,29 clearly says to Muslims, "No change can there be in the words of
Allah" and that Allah cannot alter (or abrogate) his words." So the Torah and Christian Gospels are
correct, because Allah did verify this fact this clearly makes the Muslim Qur'an false; because it
contradicts Allah.
Surah 2:87 -And most certainly We gave Musa the Book and We sent apostles after him one after
another; and We gave Isa, the son of Marium, clear arguments and strengthened him with the holy
spirit,
Surah 3:48 -And He (Isa/Jesus) will teach him the Book and the wisdom and the Tavrat (Torah) and the
Injeel (Christian Gospel).
Surah 3:50 - And a verifier of that which is before me of the Taurat (Torah) and that I may allow you
part of that which has been forbidden t you, and I have come to you with a sign from your Lord
therefore be careful of (your duty to) Allah and obey me.
Surah 5:44 - "Surely We revealed the Taurat (Torah/Bible Old Testament) in which was guidance and
light", with it the prophets who submitted themselves....
Surah 5:46 - And We sent after them in their footsteps Isa, son of Marium, verifying what was before
him of the Taurat (Jewish Torah) and We gave him the Injeel (Christian Gospels) in which was
guidance and light, and verifying what was before it of Taurat and a guidance and an admonition for
those who guard (against evil).
Surah 5:48 we are told that Muhammad is given the Qur'an as a confirmation of the bible; that is - it is
meant to prove the bible's authenticity.... "And We have revealed to you the Book with the truth,
verifying what is before it of the Book and a guardian over it,"
Surah 5.68 - Say: O followers of the Book! you follow no good till you keep up the Taurat and the
Injeel and that which is revealed to you from your Lord;
Surah 6.154:Again, We gave the Book (Torah) to Musa to complete (Our blessings) on him who would
do good (to others), and making plain all things and a guidance and a mercy, so that they should believe
in the meeting of their Lord.
Surah 6.155:And this (Torah) is a Book We have revealed, blessed; therefore follow it and guard
(against evil) that mercy may be shown to you.
Surah 29:46 "And dispute ye not with the People of the Book, but say, "We believe in the revelation
which has come down to us and in that which came down to you; Our Allah and your Allah is one;
Surah 32:23 - And certainly We gave the Book to Musa, so be not in doubt concerning the receiving of
it, and We made it a guide for the children of Israel.
Surah 43:63 - When Jesus came with Clear Signs, he said: "Now have I come to you with Wisdom, and
in order to make clear to you some of the (points) on which ye dispute: therefore fear Allah and obey
me.
Surah 46:12 we are told.... "And before it the Book of Musa (Moses) (Torah) was a guide and a mercy:
and this is a Book verifying (it) in the Arabic language that it may warn those who are unjust and as
good news for the doers of good......"
A group of Jews went to Muhammad and ask him to pronounce judgment on an adulterous couple.
Muhammad asked for the Torah to be brought before him, and the couple was subsequently stoned, in
accordance with the penalty laid down in the Torah. (see Sahih Bukhari Book 38, no. 4434)
This incident indicates that Muhammad deferred to the Torah for judgment. In the whole incident, there
is no indication whatsoever that the Torah is not trustworthy, Also see: fate of those who do not live by
Torah, al-Jum'ah 62:5; referred to settle dispute on food, Al'Imran 3:93-94; retribution in, al-Ma'idah
5:45.
Torah/Taurat: This word occurs 18 times in the Qur'an. It refers to the 39 books that make up the
Jewish & Christian Old Testament. Jesus Himself said "every iota" (or every bit) of this Torah/Taurat is
true.
Muslims have no choice but to believe in the Christian Bible and the Apostles who wrote it. The Qur'an
forbids anyone, on pain of shameful punishment, from making distinctions between the authority of the
apostles and prophets of God, or from choosing between God's words. No one is permitted to believe in
part and reject a part. Those who presume to do so, it says, are infidels in reality (Suras 4:150-152;
2:89; 42:13-15; 29:46-47).
When Muhammad was growing up, there existed two heretic branches of Christianity in Arabia which
many arabs embraced. These were the Ebionite and Nestorian branches. Muhammad's first wife's
(Khadija) cousin, Waraga bin Neufel was a pastor of the Ebionite Church in Mecca. Both of these
branches falsely taught that Jesus Christ was not divine. This heretic pastor actually performed the
marriage of Muhammad to Khadija. Also, many reports indicate only the Gospel of Matthew was
translated into Arabic during this time. This information is given to show you where the human
Muhammad got his false teachings about Jesus, the Trinity, and Christianity.
In Surah 18:10-27 we see that Muhammad regurgitated the early Christian Rip Van Winkle-like
myth/legend historians know as the "Seven Sleepers of Ephesus" from around the 250's AD. This is a
legend about 7 noble Christian youths who took refuse in a cave while fleeing persecution during the
rein of the Roman Emperor Decius. Their lives were miraculously saved because they fell into a deep
sleep for almost 200 years. Typical of Muhammad's inattention to any literary or historical detail,
Muhammad's Surah has them sleeping for 300-309 years. Surah 18:25 So they stayed in their Cave
three hundred years, and (some) add nine (more).
In Surah 2:249 Muhammad confuses the persons of Saul (Talut) and Gideon. See: Judges 7:4-7
The Koran confused the sister of Moses by implication (Miriam) with Mary, the mother of Jesus 3
times. And Muhammad seemed to think that Jesus was Moses' nephew, the son of Moses' sister
Mariam. Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Miriam the sister of Moses actually lived about 1500 years
apart. The entire Chapter 19 is devoted to Mary (Maryam) the mother of Jesus in the Qur'an. Surah
19:28, "O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste!" Surah
66.12 calls Mary 'daughter of lmran". lmran is the Arabic form of the Hebrew Amram mentioned in
Numbers 26.59 as the father of "Aaron, Moses and Miriam." The title "sister of Aaron" is given to
Miriam in Exodus 15.20. Surah 3.35-36, The wife of Amram said, "My Lord, I have dedicated (the
baby) in my belly to You, totally, so accept from me. You are Hearer, Omniscient."
How many angels were talking to Mary? When the Qur'an speaks about the annunciation of the birth of
Jesus to the virgin Mary, Surah 3:42,45 speaks about angels (plural) while it is only one in Surah 19:1721. The Christian Bible clearly indicated one angel; "In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent by
God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth," Luke 1:26
JESUS' death and resurrection:
Maryam 19:33 – And Salam (peace) be upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I
shall be raised alive!”
Al-Imran 3:55 – And (remember) when Allah said: “O Isa (Jesus)! I will take you and raise you to
Myself and clear you [of the forged statement that Isa (Jesus) is Allah's son] of those who disbelieve,
and I will make those who follow you (monotheists, who worship none but Allah) superior to those
who disbelieve [in the Oneness of Allah, or disbelieve in some of His Messengers, e.g. Muhammad, Isa
(Jesus), Musa (Moses), or in His Holy Books, e.g. the Taurat (Torah), the Injil (Gospel), the Qur'an] til
the Day of Resurrection. Then you will return to Me and I will judge between you in the matters in
which you used to dispute.”
Did Jesus Die or Not? Surah 3:144 is quite adamant that all messengers died before Muhammad. But
then Surah 4:158 claims that Jesus was raised to God (alive?) and 4:157 says Jesus did not die.
The Muslim religion is one of the fastest growing religions of the world, if not the fastest. Among its
many differences with Christianity is that it denies the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. Whether
Muslims believe in a substitution theory (another person was crucified in Jesus' place), ascension
theory (Jesus was rescued from the cross and ascended to heaven), or swoon theory (Jesus did not
actually die while on the cross and survived the rigors of the crucifixion), each one of them clearly
denies the death of Jesus by crucifixion. This Islamic belief is not just something that Muslims
conjured up in response to Christianity. Instead, the Qur’an clearly denies the crucifixion of Jesus in
Surah 4:157-158 which says, “. . . they [the Jews] said (in boast), ‘We killed Christ Jesus the son of
Mary, the Messenger of Allah’ – But they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to
appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only
conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not – Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself . . . .”
In addition there are collateral first century sources that testify that JESUS was put to death. In the
Annals written by Roman historian Tacitus, in book XV, chapter 44 we read...
“CHRISTUS, the founder of the name, was put to death by Pontius Pilate, procurator of Judea
in the reign of Tiberius.”
Roman historian Josephus also wrote about the death and Resurrection of JESUS.
Roman historian Seutonius wrote in his work “Life of the Emperor Claudius” the following about
Christians....
“and deny the gods of Greece, and worship the crucified sage, and live after HIS!!!!!!! laws.”
Roman historian Pliny wrote about JESUS death in book X and his epistles.
Julius Africanus, quoting Thallus another Roman historian, who wrote in about 52 A.D. About the
miraculas happenings the day the SON of GOD was killed, he wrote....
“On the whole world there pressed a most fearful darkness; and the rocks were rent by
earthquake and many places in Judea and other districts were throwndown.”
5,735 manuscripts predating Muhammad and 24,800 now. Textus receptus, Codex Vaticanus, Codex
Siniaticus (350 A.D.) 80,000 quotes from early Christians in which the New Testament could almost be
reconstructed from them. Was too widely expanded that demolishing them would have taken enormous
murders. Even the Alexandrians tried corrupting the Bible and they could only destroy no more than
5%.
The Dead Sea Scrolls, found in 1947, verified the Jewish Torah back to 100A.D. To 200 B.C. When
they were copied. Prior to this discovery, the oldest Torah dated to the 9th century A.D. The Dead Sea
Scrolls of Isaiah verified almost exactly the Isaiah scroll copied in the 9th century.
Early Church Fathers like Ignatius, Clement of Alexandria, Clement of Rome, Tertullian, Irenaeus, who
wrote from between 90-160 A.D. All cited in their writings Christian Gospel accounts.
The Christian Bible in complete predates Muhammad and Islam by more than 575 years. The Jewish
Torah predates Muhammad and Islam by 1,000-3,000 years. Muhammad said for Muslims to read the
Bible for “Guidance and Light.” For Islam to say they are corrupted, then is to call Muhammad a liar
for recommending it.
The same Bible Muhammad would have seen (if he ever did) is in both The Vatican (Codex Vaticanus)
and Codex Sinaticus. It is all there, JESUS dying on the cross as atonement for our sins and HIS
resurrection, ascension into Heaven in front of many witnesses. These two Greek texts predate
Muhammad and Islam by over 200 years.
The word Arabic "inni-mutawaffeeka" translated "I will take thee" is the point of controversy among
scholars. Some hold that the word means death of sleep and God raised him in his sleep.
Others say the word means I, God, 'take you' from the world, but not by death.
Yet others claim it means God caused Jesus to die three hours and then raised him.
Muhammad Ibn Ishaq said, he was dead seven hours, then God raised him to life and took him to
heaven. Dr. Anis Shorrosh says:
The controversy rages on in Surah 4, An-nisa, 157:
"That they said [in boast], We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Apostle of God; But they killed
him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full
of doubts, with no [certain] knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him
not.
From this Surah comes the popular belief of Muslims that Allah cast the likeness of Jesus onto another
man and that this man was the one crucified while Jesus was snatched into heaven. Muslims believe
that the world was deceived into believing that it was Jesus that was crucified.
Realizing the untenable nature of the ambiguous statement in Surah 4:157, some scholars are busy
experimenting with more "suitable" theories. One such scholar is the aggressive sophist, Ahmed
Deedat. In one of his specious arguments entitled Resurrection or Resuscitation?, Deedat propounded
the "Swoon theory" as a theory that Jesus survived the cross half dead and recovered afterward in a
roomy grave.
The true God mentioned the triumph of Messiah (Jesus) over Satan through death when He gave the
promise in the garden of Eden (Genesis 3:15). The Prophet Isaiah predicted His (Jesus) virgin birth
(Isaiah 7:14) and also His atoning death (Isaiah 53:5-9). The Prophet David, whom Muslims call
Anabiya Dauda, also prophesied Jesus' death (Psalm 16:10), a prophecy which is confirmed in Acts
13:32-35.
As we see in Surat al-Maryam, 15: "So peace on him [refers to John] the day he was born, the day that
he dies and the day that he will be raised up alive [again]!"
And verse 33 of the same sura:
"So peace is on me [Jesus] the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day I shall be raised up to
life."
Yusuf Ali seems to realize this fact. 1 In comparing Surah 19:15 with Surah 19:33, he commented thus:
"Christ was not crucified (Surah 4:157) but those who believed He never died should ponder over this
verse (i.e. 33 of Surat al-Maryam)".
"God took our promise not to believe in an apostle unless he showed us a sacrifice consumed by fire
[from heaven]. Say: 'there came to you apostles before me, with clear signs and even with what ye ask
for: why then did ye slay them, if ye speak the truth?' " (Surah 3:183).
If we examine the whole Koran, we find that the only messenger who came from God with the kind of
offering described in the above quoted Surah is Christ as can be seen in Surah 5:115-117.
"For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins
according to the scriptures; And that He was buried, and that He arose again the third day according to
the Scriptures: And that He was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, He was seen of above
five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen
asleep" (1 Corinthians 15:3-6).
This was the sole mission of Christ and He accomplished it, praise God. Contrary to Muslim
allegations, neither Christ nor Paul established a religion. Religion is Satan's dragnet to catch men into
Hell-fire, while Christ came purposely to conquer Satan and deliver as many as put their trust in Him.
Does the Koran inform us of how Allah defeated Satan? No, on the contrary, Allah even incorporates
Satan's cohorts (the jinns demons) into the Islamic fold (Surah 72:14), and concentrates on fighting
against the Salvation plan of the Bible God.
The Historical Evidence
#1. Eyewitness Sources
The first evidence for Jesus’ crucifixion is from the testimony of eyewitness sources. Many Muslims do
not believe there is eyewitness material in the accounts of the crucifixion of Jesus. In fact, one Muslim
claims that “Not a single one of the Christians was a witness with them [the Jews]. Rather the apostles
kept a distance through fear, and not one of them witnessed the crucifixion.”
This argument is largely based upon Mathew 26:56 which says, “Then all the disciples forsook him,
and fled.” Though the disciples forsook Jesus, some of them were still witnesses from a distance (Mark
14:54). Also, there was an anonymous disciple whom Jesus, while on the cross, commanded to take
care of Mary (John 19:26-27). The Gospel of Luke reports that while Jesus was carrying the cross, “. . .
there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him
(Luke 23:27, emphasis mine).” In addition to these people already mentioned the Gospels are scattered
with references to Jewish leaders (Mathew 27:41; Mark 15:31), Roman centurion (Mathew 27:54;
Mark 15:39; Luke 23:47) and soldiers (Mathew 27:35; Mark 15:24; Luke 23:35; John 19:18,23) who
all witnessed Jesus’ crucifixion. For Muslims to argue that the crucifixion is not historical simply does
not square with the historical data because there were multitudes of witnesses to the fact that the
Romans crucified Jesus.
#2. Medical Evidence
In light of the eyewitness evidence from the gospels, there is strong medical evidence that confirms the
historicity of Christ’s death as presented in the Gospels. Before examining the medical evidence, as a
general point the Romans knew how to crucify their victims. To suppose that the Romans would have
allowed Jesus to escape the cross, is nonsensical. The Romans knew how to kill someone and they
knew when someone was dead.
Concerning the specific medical evidence, the gospels report specific conditions that a crucified victim
would have experienced. First, in Jesus’ pre-crucifixion experience in the Garden of Gethsemane, the
Gospel of Luke reports that Jesus sweated “great drops of blood” (Luke 22:44). According to
Alexander Metherell an M.D. and Ph.D., “This is a known medical condition called hematidrosis.” He
later acknowledges that tremendous stress like the kind that Jesus suffered could have produced this
effect.
Second, Jesus’ desire, while on the cross, to receive a drink confirms the fact that he likely was
experiencing another known medical condition called hypoglycemic shock, which would have been
caused by his beating. According to Metherell, hypoglycemic shock “. . . does four things. First, the
heart races to try to pump blood that isn’t there; second, the blood pressure drops, causing fainting or
collapse; third, the kidneys stop producing urine to maintain what volume is left; and fourth, the person
becomes very thirsty as the body craves fluids to replace the lost blood volume.”
Third, the evidence from the spear thrust confirms the idea that Jesus did indeed die on the cross.
Concerning this Matherell states that hypoglycemic shock causes a rapid heart beat which results in
fluid around the heart called a pericardia effusion. The Gospel of John testifies to this fact in John
19:34 which says, “. . . one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out
blood and water.” Metherell continues, “The spear apparently went through the right lung and into the
heart, so when the spear was pulled out, some fluid – the pericardia effusion and the pleural effusion –
came out. This would have the appearance of a clear fluid like water.” Therefore, given the above
specific medical evidence, the Journal of the American Medical Association is justified to conclude, “. .
. interpretations based on the assumption that Jesus did not die on the cross appear to be at odds with
modern medical knowledge.”
#3. Transformation of the Disciples and Emergence of the Church
Another strong evidence for the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus is from the transformation of the
disciples and the emergence of the early church. It is a historical fact that the Christian Church
originated in the first century. This is something which Christians and Muslims can agree. However, the
hypothesis that Jesus never really died on the cross does not account for this phenomenon. As has been
shown, there were many people who witnessed Christ’s death, but if the disciples began preaching a
crucified and risen Messiah like Acts suggests, these witnesses could have produced Jesus’ body if he
was not dead. James Packer rightly states, “. . . how could Jesus’ resurrection have been successfully
proclaimed in Jerusalem if his body could be produced?” Thus any non-crucifixion theory just does not
make sense.
Jesus and Mohammed Compared:
* Jesus was a religious leader.
* Mohammed was a religious leader, a political leader and a military leader.
* Jesus never owned slaves.
* Mohammed received a fifth of the salves taken in battle, including African slaves, as he was Arab.
* Jesus never married.
* Mohammed had at least 11 wives, plus slave wives, concubines, and women taken in battle.
* Jesus never forced his followers to believe. When his sayings were not understood, “many of his
disciples, when they had heard this said, 'This is a hard saying, who can hear it?'...Many of his disciples
went back and walked no more with him. Then Jesus said to the twelve, 'Will ye also go away?' Then
Simon Peter answered him, 'Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life.'” (John 6)
* Mohammed forced his followers to continue believing, saying in the Hadith al-Bukhari (Vol. 9, Book
84, No 57): “Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him.”
* Jesus did not permit followers to lie and rape.
* Mohammed permitted followers to lie to spread Islam and to rape infidel women taken in battle.
* Jesus never avenged insults, but forgave.
* Mohammed avenged insults, ordering Ibn Khatal and his slave girls killed for making fun of him in
poems.
* Jesus never tortured anyone.
* Mohammed had the chief of Khaybar tortured to get him to reveal the location of the tribe's treasure.
* None of Jesus' Apostles led armies, but instead spread Christianity throughout the Roman Empire by
loving their enemies and dying for their faith.
* All the Caliphs and Sultans led armies.
* In the first 300 years of Christianity, there were ten major persecutions by Romans, resulting in
thousands of Christians being killed in the Coliseum and fed to the lions. Never once did Christians
lead an armed resistance against those who attacked them.
* In the first 300 years of Islam, Muslim armies conquered Arabia, the Holy Land, North Africa, Spain,
Southern France, Central Africa, and invaded vast areas of Asia and Asia Minor.
*Jesus taught “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” Mathew 6:10-15
*Mohammed taught to avenge trespasses and insults committed against one's honor, family or religion.
*When violence was committed against Jesus, he did not retaliate but allowed himself to be crucified.
*When violence was committed against Mohammed, he retaliated, ordering his enemies killed.
*The concept of a martyr in Christian and Jewish thought is one who would die for their faith.
*The concept of martyr in Islamic thought is one who would die for their faith while killing infidels.
*Jesus taught that religion is from the inside out.
*Mohammed taught that religion could be forced from the outside in.
*Christianity teaches God wants a personal relationship with each individual believer.
*Islam teaches that individual believers cannot have a personal relationship with Allah.
*Jesus' religion is one of forgiveness and love.
*Mohammed's is one of fear and subjugation.
JESUS!!!!!!!
Muhammad
Jesus is God (John 1, Colossians 1) and here.
Jesus forgave sins and dispelled demons in His
own name. He said "I and the Father are one".
Muhammad admitted he is only a man (Surah
18:110).
Jesus raised Himself from the dead (Mathew 28:6) Muhammad remains dead.
and rose into heaven in front of many witnesses.
His Birth, Life, Death, Resurrection was foretold
by numerous prophets.
Nothing predicted about Muhammad. The
"Comforter" was the Holy Spirit Jesus promised
the apostles.
Proverbs 30:4 (written 700 B.C./1300 yrs before
Muhammad): "...What is His name, and what is
His son's name, if thou canst tell?"
Jesus lived a sinless life (2 Corinthians 5:21)
Allah himself refers to Muhammad as sinful
(Surah 40:55, 48:1-2).
Jesus did numerous miracles to prove His divinity,
including raising the dead and command over
nature (All Gospel writers and Josephus). While
teaching his apostles Jesus said; "Believe me
when I say that I am in the Father and the Father
is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the
miracles themselves" (John 14:11 and Matthew
9:2-7)
On two occasions in the Qur'an Muhammad
admitted he could do no miracles to show any sort
of divinity or divine calling (Surah 17:90-95;
3:183, also see: 29:50-51).
Jesus cared for His enemies (Mathew 5:43-44).
Jesus promised to save those who believe and
trust in Him.
Killed his enemies and anyone who disagreed
with him (Surah 9:5).

Jesus told his disciples not to ask for money, and
not to carry money with them. (Matthew 10:8-9,
Luke 10:7).
Muhammad instructed his followers on how to

"Kill the Mushrikun (unbelievers) wherever you
find them, and capture them and besiege them,
and lie in wait for them in each and every
ambush..." Surah 9:5. Also see Surah 9:29.
He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments;
and took a towel, and girded himself. After that he
poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the
disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel
wherewith he was girded. (John 13:4-5, 12-17)
One day after battle, Muhammad came back home
and said to his daughter Fatima, "Wash the blood
from this sword and I swear in the name of Allah
this sword was obeying me all the time."
Muhammad then took the swords of his friend Ali
ibn Abu Talib and washed them for him.
Jesus never took up a sword or encouraged
anyone else to do so. Once a close follower took it
upon himself to take up a sword. Jesus soundly
reprimanded him. Jesus warned; "all who take the
sword will perish by the sword" (Matthew 26:52).
According to Muslim scholar Pickthal, "the
number of campaigns (military) he (Muhammad)
led in person during the last ten years of his life is
twenty-seven, in nine of which there was hard
fighting. The number of expeditions which he
planned and sent out under other leaders is thirtyeight" (n.d., pg. xxvi)
Jesus said: "But I say unto you, Love your
enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to
them that hate you, and pray for them which
despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye
may be the children of your Father which is in
heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil
and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and
on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you,
what reward have ye? do not even the publicans
the same? (Matthew 5:44-46).
Surah 9:29: Pickthal: "Fight against such of those
who have been given the Scripture (Christians &
Jews) as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and
forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by His
messenger, and follow not the Religion of Truth,
until they pay the tribute readily, being brought
low."

Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to
suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And

me. (Mathew 25:40)
Inside Out or Outside In:
Czech Cardinal Vlk explained: “Islam assumes state power and rules people.” Dutch Member of
Parliament, Geert Wilders, stated: “Islam is a political ideology...Islam wants to dictate every aspect of
life...If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national-socialism
(Nazism). These are all totalitarian ideologies.”
America's founders believed in a different religion that was not to be forced from the outside in,
but emanated from the inside out, as the Baptist founder of Rhode Island Roger Williams wrote:
That religion cannot be true which needs such instruments of violence to uphold it.
Jesus taught that religion should be voluntary from the inside out, whereas Mohammed taught that
religion could be forced from the outside in. Rather than force people to follow him, Jesus was willing
to let his followers leave, as demonstrated in instance in the Gospel of John....
John 6:60-68 - Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying;
who can hear it? When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth
this offend you? What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? It is the spirit
that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are
life. But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that
believed not, and who should betray him. And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come
unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. From that time many of his disciples went back,
and walked no more with him. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Then Simon
Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
Mohammed said:
Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him. (Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 9, No. 57)
Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari, narrated by Abdullah:
Allah's Apostle said, “The blood of a Muslim...cannot be shed except...in three cases...the one
who reverts from Islam (apostate) and leaves the Muslims. (Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 9, Book 83,
No. 17)
Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari, narrated by Ikrima, stated:
No doubt, I would have killed them, for the Prophet said, “If somebody (a Muslim) discards his
religion, kill him.” (Hadith Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 4:260, Vol. 9, Book 84, No. 57)
Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari stated:
The punishment for apostasy (riddah) Is well known in Islamic Sharee'ah.
The one who leaves Islam will be asked to repent by the Sharee'ah judge in an Islamic country;
if he does not repent and come back to the true religion, he will be killed as a kafir and apostate,
because of the command of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): “Whoever changes
his religion, kill him. (Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari, 3017)
Who owns the Temple Mount?
“The site is one of the oldest in the world. Its sanctity dates from the earliest times. Its
identity with the site of Solomon’s Temple is beyond dispute. This, too, is the spot,
according to universal belief, on which David built there an altar unto the Lord, and offered
burnt offerings and peace offerings” (2 Samuel 24:25). But, for the purposes of this Guide,
which confines itself to the Muslim period, the starting point is the year 637 A.D.
“...It dates probably as far back as the construction of Solomon’s Temple. According to
Josephus, it was in existence and was used as a place of refuge by the Jews at the time of
the conquest of Jerusalem by Titus in the year 70 A.D.”
“which was believed in medieval times to have been associated with Jesus Christ’s infancy.
This belief was prevalent long before the advent of the Crusaders...”
Despite the recent archaeological discoveries such as coins, temple vessels, the pool of Shiloam, and
many other biblical artifacts the Islamic community has simply dismissed these findings and continued
on with their blatant lies about the Temple Mount and the Jews never having a presence there. This is
despite the fact that the Bible mentions Jerusalem over 700 times in the scriptures while the koran
never once mentions Jerusalem. In fact, I was recently made aware of twenty interesting facts about the
current Israeli and Palestinian issue that I would like to share with you. I received these facts from an
email I received recently. Here is the list:
1. Nationhood and Jerusalem : Israel became a nation in 1312 BC, two thousand (2000) years before
the rise of Islam....
2. Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a Palestinian people in 1967, two
decades after the establishment of the modern State of Israel.
3. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 BC, the Jews have had dominion over the land for one thousand
(1000) years with a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years.
4. The only Arab dominion since the conquest in 635 lasted no more than 22 years.
5. For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital. Jerusalem has never been the capital of
any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem , they never sought to make
it their capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit.
6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy scriptures. Jerusalem is not
mentioned even once in the Koran.
7. King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem.
8. Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray with their backs toward Jerusalem.
If these "little known" facts about the Israeli and Islamic issue were not enough to persuade the casual
reader to side with Israel on the matter of the Temple Mount and Jerusalem. Perhaps seeing the official
"Temple Mount Guide" produced by the "Supreme Moslem Council" were they plainly listed the
Temple Mount as the site of the Second Temple of Solomon. The Temple Mount Guides were produced
from 1924 til sometimes in the 1960's. The guides were produced to provide visitors to the Temple
Mount in Jerusalem with background information on the sacred site. The pages of the Temple Mount
Guide that contain the most explicit revelation of the site belonging to the Jews is contained in pages 4
and 16 of the guide. As a courtesy, we are providing a PDF copy of the Temple Mount Guide so that
you can see for yourself in the words of the moslems themselves that the Temple Mount belonged to
the Jews long before Islam was even invented.
According to Islamic tradition, Muhammad took a journey in a single night from "a sacred mosque" –
believed to be in Mecca in southern Saudi Arabia – to "the farthest mosque," and from a rock there
ascended to heaven to receive revelations from Allah that became part of the Quran. There was nothing
on the Temple Mount during Muhammad's life time. So how could the Jewish temple site be their
"farthest mosque"? Muhammad died in 632 A.D.
"And Musa (Moses) said to his people (Israel): O my people! remember the favor of Allah upon you
when He raised prophets among you and made you kings and gave you what He had not given to any
other among the nations. O my people! enter the holy land which Allah has prescribed for you and turn
not your backs for then you will turn back losers." Surah 5:20-21 Looks like Muhammad learned
something from his Jewish & Christian wives...
The Qur'an further states Jews are the Chosen People of God:
O Children of Israel! call to mind the (special) favour which I bestowed upon you, and
fulfil your covenant with Me as I fulfil My Covenant with you, and fear none but Me.
[Qur'an, Surah 2:40]
Children of Israel! call to mind the (special) favour which I bestowed upon you, and that I
preferred you to all other nations (for My Message). [Qur'an, Surah 2:47]
Problems:
1. At-Tariq 86:5-7 - "Now let man but think from what he is created! He is created from a drop
emitted-Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs,"
It is obvious that the error is that sperm comes from a man's chest. After all, the chest is "between the
backbone and the ribs"? The abdomen is below the backbone and ribs, and the male testicles are far
below that.
The response that Muslims give to this problem is that the testicles, during the embryonic formation,
descend from an area below the kidneys. Since the kidneys are in the abdominal area, they assert that
the Qur'an miraculously and with scientific accuracy portrays what could not have been known except
by God; namely, that in the embryonic development the testicles were up in the chest area. But this is
inaccurate. Let's take a closer look.
Sometimes Muslims will say that sperm comes from the testicles and the testicles are formed in the
chest area. They then maintain that the Qur'an is correct since the testicles were in the chest area. Is this
accurate? Not at all.
 "The testicle originally forms in the back of the abdominal cavity, similar to the position of the
ovaries in girls. Near the end of pregnancy, the testis begins to descend to the scrotum."
 "The testicles begin inside the abdominal cavity."
 At seven months, "The testicles begin to move down from the abdomen into the scrotum."
 "Normal testicular development begins at conception and the testicles first appear in the
abdomen at about the level of the kidneys."
2. The Qur'an states that you shall marry only up to four women: "If ye fear that ye shall not be able to
deal justly with orphans, marry women of your choice, two, or three, or four; but if ye fear that ye shall
not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or that which your right hands possess..." (4:3).
If the Qur'an is eternal, having been written on the table in heaven, then the four wife limit was an
eternal decree.
Question: Why did Muhammad have 12 wives if the Qur'an says to have only four? Khadija, sawda,
Aesah (8 years old), Omm Salama, Hafsa, Zaynab (originally the wife of Muhammad's adopted son),
Jowayriya, Omm Habiba, Safiya, Maymuna, Fatima, Hend, Asma (of Saba), Zaynab, Habla, Asma?
3. The Qur'an says that Allah created the heavens and earth in six days. "Your Guardian Lord is Allah,
who created the heavens and the earth in six days..." (7:54) See also, 10:3.
41:9 - "Says: Is it that ye deny him who created the earth in two days..."
41:10 - "He set on the (earth), mountains standing firm, high above it, and bestowed blessings on the
earth, and measured therein its sustenance in four days..."
41:11 - "Then he turned to the sky, and it had been (as) smoke: he said to it and to the earth: 'Come ye
together, willingly or unwillingly..."
41:12 - "So he completed them as seven firmaments in two days, and he assigned to heaven its duty
and command..."
Question: the two days of 41:9 plus the four days of 41:10 and the 2 days of 41:12 equals eight days of
creation, not six. Why is that?
4. It is a commonly held belief among Muslims that Muhammad was sinless.
If Muhammad was sinless, then why does the Qur'an state: "Patiently, then, persevere: for the promise
of Allah is true: and ask forgiveness for thy fault, and celebrate the praises of the Lord in the evening
and the morning." (40:55).
Pickthall translates 40:55 thus: "Then have patience (O Muhammad). Lo! the promise of Allah is true.
And ask forgiveness of thy sin, and hymn the praise of thy Lord at fall of night and in the early hours."
The Hadith says, "I heard Allah's Apostle saying." By Allah! I ask for forgiveness from Allah and turn
to Him in repentance more than seventy times a day." Volume 8, Book 75, Number 319, Narrated Abu
Huraira:
5. Islamic scholars in Egypt and Saudi Arabia agree with Muhammad, that lightning and thunder are
two angels. Muhammad, the prophet of Muslims, claims that the thunder and the lightning are two of
God’s angels—exactly like Gabriel! Baydawi comments on verse 13 of the chapter of the Thunder in
the Qur'an:
"Ibn Abbas asked the apostle of God about the thunder. He told him, ‘It is an angel who is in charge of
the cloud, who (carries) with him swindles of fire by which he drives the clouds."
6. In many places, the Qur'an alludes to the fact that the earth is flat and its mountains are like poles
which create a balance so that the Earth does not tilt. See Qur'an, Suras 79:30 (And the Earth after that
He(Allah) FLATTENED it.; and 18:47 (and you will see the earth a leveled plain).
With regards to Surah 79:30, " Dahaahaa " does NOT mean " shape like an egg ". It is appalling that
some dishonest Muslim apologists actually have the audacity to dishonestly cheat non-Arabic speakers
to such an extent. So if concisely translated, Surah 79:30 should read as “And the Earth after that He
(Allah) Spread out like a carpet and Flattened it.”
The Arabic word for egg is " Baidah " and NOT " Dahiyah ". There is NO such Arabic word as "
Dahiyah ". " "Dahaahaa " actually means " FLATTEN ". And the concise meaning of “Dahaahaa” is
“Spread out like a carpet and Flattened”. This points to a clear scientific error in the Quran. The word
“Dahiyah” is a word that comes from one of the NON-Arab tribes of North Africa. It is definitely NOT
an Arabic word and NOT a word that comes from the Arabian Peninsula or Muhammad’s tribe.
7. Surah 10:5 says
Huwa Al-Ladhī Ja`ala Ash-Shamsa Điyā'an Wa Al-Qamara NURon Wa Qaddarahu Manāzila Lita`lamū
`Adada As-Sinīna Wa Al-Ĥisāba Mā Khalaqa Allāhu Dhālika 'Illā Bil-Ĥaqqi Yufaşşilu Al-'Āyāti
Liqawmin Ya`lamūna which means "It is He Who made the sun to be a shining brightness and THE
MOON TO BE A LIGHT, and measured out stages for her; that you might know the number of years
and the count (of time). Nowise did Allah create this but in truth. (Thus) doth He explain His Signs in
detail, for those who understand."
The Arabic word “Qamara” means “Moon” and “NUR” means “LIGHT”. “Al-Qamara” means “The
Moon”. Surah 10:5 CLEARLY says ALLAH MADE THE MOON A LIGHT.
The word “NUR” means “Light” and it does NOT AT ALL mean “reflected light”. Anyone who knows
Arabic knows that. If it does, then in the Arabic text of Surah 24:35, Allah is himself a reflected light !
Is any muslim apologist willing to accept such an insult, degradation and blasphemy to Allah ?? Also, if
as according to the LIES of muslim apologists, “NUR” means “reflected light” which it does NOT,
then in the Arabic text, Surahs 2:257, 4:174, 5:16, 5:46, 6:1, 6:122, 7:157, 9:32, 33:43, 33:46, 35:25,
42:52, 57:9, 61:8, 64:8 make absolutely no sense at all and make the already absurd Qur'an even more
absurd, ridiculous and erroneous.
Surah 10:5 is a clear scientific MISTAKE in the light of modern science. The moon is NOT a light and
does NOT give out its own light ! The moon reflects light from the sun. Of course, the Qur'an does not
mention this at all because Muhammad did not know this.
8. According to Surah 18:86, the sun literally sets into a muddy spring or a black sea here on Earth, and
Surah 18:90 mentions a specific place on Earth where the sun rises. Many Muslims try and say about
this absurdity "oh this is poetic". Nice try, it cannot be dismissed as figurative language or poetic,
because it is given as part of an historical narrative.
The Qur’an says that one of the righteous men of God’s servants saw the sun set in a certain place of
the earth—in particular a well full of water and mud. There, this man found some people. Let us read
what is recorded in the Qur’an (chapter "the Cave", Surah 18 verse 86). "Until when he reached the
place where the sun set, he found it going down into a black sea, and found by it a people. We said: O
Zulqarnain! either give them a chastisement or do them a benefit. ".
Zamakhshari remarks in his book, "the Kash-shaf",
"Abu Dharr (one of Muhammad’s close companions) was with Muhammad during the sunset.
Muhammad asked him: ‘Do you know, O Abu Dharr where this sets?’ He answered: ‘God and His
apostle know better.’ Muhammad said: ‘It sets in a spring of slimy water"’ (3rd Edition, Volume 2 p.
743,1987).
In his book, "The Lights of Revelation" (p. 399), the Baydawi indicates, "The sun sets in a slimy
spring; that is, a well which contains mud.
9. Why were stars created? In Surah 67:5 we read that the stars were created to be thrown at devils
(Shaitans).
10. Do you remember the evil Persian Haman who conspired to kill all the Jews during the time of
Esther in the Babylonian captivity (about 500 BC). In the Koran, Muhammad incorrectly taught that
this wicked man Haman was the prime minister of the Egyptian Pharaoh (Firon) in Moses' time (1450
BC). See Suras 28:4-6, 28:38-39, 29:39, 40:23-24,and 40:36-37. Throughout the Qur'an--Nimrod and
Abraham, Haman and Moses, Mary and Aaron, the tower of Babel (2500 BC) and Pharaoh were all
pictured as living and working together. Moses and the flood are also incorrectly found together.
Muhammad thought these all happened at the same time. Muhammad was always mixing people
together in the Qur'an who did not live at the same time. See Suras 21:51-76; and 29:15-16.
And Pharaoh said: O Chiefs! I know not what ye have a god other than me, so kindle for me (a fire), O
Haman, to bake the mud; and set up for me a lofty tower in order that I may survey the god of Moses;
and lo! I deem him of the liars. And he and his hosts were haughty in the land without right, and
deemed that they would never be brought back to Us (Surah 28:38-39)
And Pharaoh said: O Haman! Build me a tower that haply I may reach the roads, the roads of the
heavens, and may look upon the God of Moses, though verily I think him a liar. Thus was the evil that
he did made fair - seeming unto Pharaoh, and he was debarred from the (right) way. The plot of
Pharaoh ended but in ruin (Surah 40:36-37)
11. What about Noah's (Nuh) son? According to Surah 21:76, Noah and his family is saved from the
flood, and Suras 29:15 and 37:76-77 confirms that his seed survived. But Surah 11:42-43 reports that
Noah's son drowns.
Surah 7:59 and 7:136 say Noah's flood took place in Moses' day. Did anyone tell Moses that?
12. Surah 14:37, says Abraham lived in the valley of Mecca (Muslim Sacred House). The Bible says he
lived in Hebron, Israel. (Genesis 13:18, 23:2, 35:27)
13. Surah 2:61 In this beauty, Moses is being told about the prophets who were killed in Moses' day.
Yet there were no prophets killed during Moses' time. Moses was the first prophet.
(Noble Qur'an) PICKTHAL: And when ye said: O Moses! We are weary of one kind of food; so call
upon thy Lord for us that He bring forth for us of that which the earth groweth - of its herbs and its
cucumbers and its corn and its lentils and its onions. He said: Would ye exchange that which is higher
for that which is lower? Go down to settled country, thus ye shall get that which ye demand. And
humiliation and wretchedness were stamped upon them and they were visited with wrath from Allah.
That was because they disbelieved in Allah's revelations and slew the prophets wrongfully. That was
for their disobedience and transgression.
14. Surah 6:74, says Abraham father's name was Azar. The Bible says it was Terah (Genesis 11:27).
How can Muhammad claim he verified the Torah which came first as true, yet differ with the facts in
the Torah?
15. Surah 9:10 says Zakarias was mute for only 3 days. The Bible says Zacharias, the father of John the
Baptist, was made mute because of his unbelief concerning Gabriel's prophecy of John's birth. He
would remain mute until the baby was born (Luke 1:20), which is roughly nine months.
16. Islam says it was Ishmael that was nearly sacrificed on the mountain rather than Isaac as both the
Torah and Christian Gospels say. Islam says that Hagar was the legitimate wife (and not a concubine)
of Abraham, rather than Sarah; so Ishmael was the heir of Abraham. But wait! Muhammad had already
attested to the Bible and Torah as being correct. Then why these huge errors? Of note: After
Muhammad's death, the Meccans (Waraquah) changed the name Isaac in Suras 2:125 and 127 for the
name Ishmael and invented the story about Abraham taking Ishmael to their black rock in Mecca, so
that pilgrims would continue to visit Mecca.
17. To make things far worse for Islam. In the Qur'an where Allah speaks, he says "We", "Us", Our"
over 100 times!... Showing again and again that God is not a single person, but several persons in one
divine being:
18. Surah 28:8-9, says is was Pharaoh's wife who adopted Moses. The Bible says it was Pharaoh's
daughter in Exodus 2:5-10.
19. Paradise has one garden. (Surah 39:73, 41:30, 57:21, 79:41). Paradise has many gardens. (Surah
18:31, 22:23, 35:33, 78:32).
20. Even the name for Jesus in the Qur'an is incorrect. The name for Jesus in the Qur'an is given as
"Issa." Issa is the Arabic equivalent of Esau, the name for the twin brother of Jacob. The correct Arabic
name for Jesus would be Yeshua or Yeshuwa.
The names "Jesus and John" were among the most common names in Israel at the time of Jesus the
Messiah. The name John was quite common in ancient Israel. Yet speaking of John the Baptist, a
contemporary of Jesus, the Qur'an says in Surah 19:7 that the name John (Yahya) was not previously
given. But In the biblical book of Ezra dating from a far earlier time than John the Baptist, we read;
"And of the sons of Azgad; Johanan (John) the son of Hakkatan". The name John is also mentioned
earlier than John the Baptist in: 2 Kings 25:23, and Jeremiah 40:8.
21. Surah 20:83–89 tells us that a Samaritan (Samiri) made the golden calf for Israel while Moses was
receiving the law. There are two problems with this: One, the Bible says it was Aaron (Exodus 32:1–4),
and two, Samaritans didn't exist yet until after 870 BC (1 Kings 16:24). Samaria was founded by King
Omri in about 870 B.C. (see 1 Kings 16:24). But "the Samaritans" as a distinct people only emerged
after the exile of the Northern kingdom of Israel and the resettlement of the area under king Sargon II
in after 722 B.C. The Exodus happened much earlier in about 1300-1400 BC.
22. Pharaoh drowned. (Surah 17:103, 28:40, 43:55-56). Pharaoh did not drown. (Surah 10:91-93).
(Noble Qur'an, Surah 17:103) speaking of Pharaoh Pickthal says; "And he wished to scare them from
the land, but We drowned him and those with him, all together”. (Noble Qur'an, Surah 10:92) speaking
of Pharaoh Pickthal says; "But this day We save thee in thy body that thou mayst be a portent for those
after thee. Lo! most of mankind are heedless of Our portents."
23. Muhammad made up historical references for the Kabah (Kaba/Ka'bah). The Qur'an says the Kabah
in Mecca was built by Adam and rebuilt by Abraham. Actually it was was built by pagan Meccans to
worship a black rock that fell out of the sky. Abraham never lived in Mecca according to the Torah.
The late Taha Hussein, one of the most famous Egyptian professors of Arabic literature said that the
Islamic myth of Abraham building the Kaba came into vogue just before the rise of Islam. He
comments:
24. Surah 18:85,86, says that Alexander the Great (Zul-qarinain) followed the setting sun and found
that it went down into the waters of a muddy spring. Surah 18:89-98 says the Greek Alexander the
Great was a Muslim and worshipped Allah. Actually, Alexander the Great died very young and was by
no means a Muslim. Alexander the Great lived from 356 - 323 B.C. (Before Jesus). He was 33 years
old when he died. Muhammad and Islam did not come along till 610 A.D. (after Jesus), when
Muhammad began preaching Allah and his new religion in Mecca. This was over 900 years after
Alexander the Great died. Yusuf Ali and the Concise Dictionary of Islam confirm that Zul-qarinain in
the Quran is Alexander the Great.
25. The Qur'an also incorrectly says in Surah 105:3-4 that Abrah's army was defeated by birds dropping
stones on them. History (Guillame, Islam, pgs.21ff) says Abrah's army withdrew after smallpox broke
out.
26. The origin of calamity? Is the evil in our life from Satan [Surah 38:41]; Ourselves [Surah 4:79];
Allah [Surah 4:78]? Can slander of chaste women be forgiven? Yes [Surah 24:5], No [Surah 24:23].
27. Allah can have a son. (Surah 39:4). Allah can't have a son. (Surah 6:101, and 25:2).
28. All angels obey Allah. (Surah 16:49-50). Not all angels obey Allah. (Surah 2:34)
29. In Surah 19:19-22, the human Mary was told she would have an "immaculate conception," or be
impregnated by Allah. Yet, Surah 6:100-101 denies that Allah could have a son or daughter through
mortals.
30. What is the punishment for adultery? Surah 24:2 -Flogging with a 100 stripes (men and women);
Surah 4:15 -"confine them to houses until death do claim them (lifelong house arrest - for the women);
Surah 4:16 - For men: "If they repent and amend, leave them alone". Surah 24:2 contradicts both the
procedure for women and men in Surah 4:15. And why is the punishment for women and men equal in
Surah 24.2 but different in Surah 4:15?
31. It just doesn't add up: Surah 4:11-12 and 4:176 state the Qur'anic inheritance law. When a man dies,
and is leaving behind three daughters, his two parents and his wife, they will receive the respective
shares of 2/3 for the 3 daughters together, 1/3 for the parents together [both according to verse 4:11]
and 1/8 for the wife [4:12] which adds up to more than the available estate. A second example: A man
leaves only his mother, his wife and two sisters, then they receive 1/3 [mother, 4:11], 1/4 [wife, 4:12]
and 2/3 [the two sisters, 4:176], which again adds up to 15/12 of the available property.
32. In Suras 6:14, 6:163 and 39:12 we are told that Muhammad (born 570 years after Jesus) was the
first to bow down to Allah; making him the first Muslim. But wait, yet earlier in Qur'an passages
weren't we already told in the Qur'an that Abraham, his sons and Jacob were former Muslims (Surah
2:132), and that all the earlier prophets (Surah 28:52-53), and Jesus' Jewish disciples (Surah 3:52) were
also Allah believing Muslims?.
33. Does Allah's day equal to 1,000 human years (Surah 22:47, 32:5) or 50,000 human years (Surah
70:4)? "Verily a Day in the sight of thy Lord is like a thousand years of your reckoning." Surah 22:47;
"The angels and the spirit ascend unto him in the Day the measure whereof is (as) fifty thousand
years." Surah 70:4
34. Heaven and Earth created? Surah 2:29 says first earth and then heaven was created. But wait, Suras
79:27-30 indicate, first heaven was created, and after that earth?.
35. Will Christians enter Paradise or go to Hell? Suras 2:62 and 5:69 say "Yes" to Paradise. Surah 5:72
(3 verses later) and Surah 3:85 say "No" to Paradise.
36. In Surah 2:234 widows are to keep themselves apart for 4 months and 10 days after their husband's
death. In Surah 2:240 it is one year.
Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 522:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
37. The Prophet said, "When you hear the crowings of cocks, ask for Allah's blessings (for their
crowing indicates that) they have seen an Angel. And, when you hear the braying of donkeys, seek
refuge with Allah from Satan for (their braying indicates)that they have seen a Satan."
Muslim, Book 023, Number 5007:
38. Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported Allah's Messenger having said: Do not eat with your left hand, for the
Satan eats with his left hand.
39. The Qur'an teaches that Allah is not only utterly transcendent but also the author of evil. "God
is the best of devisers", "my guile is sure" are quotes from the Qur'an concerning Allah!
Muhammad said, " My sincere counsel will not profit you, if God desires to pervert you; He is
your lord ...." (Arberry, Interpreted pgs 200, 193, 243 quoted in 'The Facts on Islam" by John
Ankerberg and John Weldon).. The Qur'an frequently refers to "the man whom Allah deliberately
misleads".
Consider what Allah really desires: The Islamic Qur'an says that Allah desires to lead people
astray (Surah 6:39 , 126). He does not help those who are led astray by him (Surah 30:29) and
desires to use them to populate hell (Surah 32:13).
40. According to Surah 19:71 every Muslim will go to Hell (for at least some time), while
another passage states that those who die in Jihad will go to Paradise immediately.
41. Hadith: Al hadiths, Vol. 4, Page-172, No.34: Hozrot Ali (r.a) narrated that the Apostle of Allah
said, “There is in paradise an open market wherein there will be no buying or selling, but will
consist of men and women. When a man desires a beauty, at once he will have intercourse with
them as desired.
42. It is estimated that about 10% of Muhammad's marauding troops were homosexuals. For
these too, stolen booty was not enough. In order to keep these homosexuals in line, Muhammad
had to make concessions to their dreams as well. Muhammad had to find more selling points
besides big busted virgins and rivers of wine. He needed young boys to quench their thirst. The
Qur'an fulfills homosexual dreams as well:
Sura: 52:24 - Round about them will serve, (devoted) to them, young male servants (handsome)
as Pearls well-guarded. Sura: 56-17 - Round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual
(freshness). Surah 76:19 - And round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness): If
thou seest them, thou wouldst think them scattered Pearls.
This hedonistic "Paradise" is the fantastic dream that is fed to Muslim boys from earliest
childhood. You will remember, Satan promised Jesus things similar to these and more, when he
tempted Jesus in the desert.
43. The word "Jihad" actually stems from the Arabic root word J-H-D. That word means "to
strive". Islam's ultimate goal is to literally eradicate all other religions except Islam from the
world. Muhammad encouraged his followers to spread Islam by force. This is contrary to
Christianity's goal of spreading the good news Gospel of Jesus throughout the world.
Christianity's goal is spreading the news to everyone so that they all have an opportunity to
accept or reject God's offer of forgiveness.
In Islam, there are 5 types of jihad. All 5 are obligatory for every Muslim. They are:
1. Jihad al-nafs. This is the striving against ones inner self.
2. Jihad al-Shaitan. This is striving against Satan.
3. Jihad al-munafiqeen. This is striving against the hypocrites.
4. Jihad al-faasiqeen. This is striving against other corrupt Muslims.
5. Jihad al-kuffaar. This is striving against the disbelievers (of Muhammad and/or Allah).
The Call to Islam versus the Call of Jesus/Isa is much different as you can see below:
Muhammad's Call:
"Warfare is ordained for you, though it is hateful unto you; but it may happen that ye hate a thing which
is good for you, and it my happen that ye love a thing which is bad for you. Allah knoweth, ye know
not. Surah 2:216 (Pickthall)
44. Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah's Apostle said, "You should listen to and obey, your ruler even if he was an Ethiopian (black)
slave whose head looks like a raisin." (Sahih Bukhari Volume 9, Book 89, Number 256)
Hadith; vol.9:162,163: Muhammad warned that dreams of black women meant disease was
forthcoming. Black Muslims today are so uninformed that they don't even understand that Muhammad
had many black slaves and called them raisin heads (Hadith vol.1:662, vol.9:256 )
Muslims are told that Africans “annoy the Prophet” (Ishaq 243), have hearts “grosser than a donkey”
(Surah 9:61) and that blacks should be left to die if injured, and should be denied intercession and
entrance to heaven (Bukhari: Volume 4, Book 52, Number 137).
45. One Muslim myth, concerning the Kaba, is that anyone who prays under the Kaba's water-pipe
becomes as pure as on the day when his mother bore him. Muslims have a hard time accepting the
Christ's atonement even though it is there clear as day in all 4 Gospels that Muhammad validated, but
Muslims will allow for total forgiveness of sins by uttering a prayer under a spout! Who is being
deceived?
46. "Allah's Apostle said, "Allah welcomes two men with a smile; one of whom kills the other
and both of them enter Paradise. One fights in Allah's Cause and gets killed. Later on Allah
forgives the 'killer who also get martyred (In Allah's Cause)."... Hadith, Volume 4, Book 52,
Number 80i, Narrated Abu Huraira
47. The Prophet said, "Yawning is from Satan and if anyone of you yawns, he should check his
yawning as much as possible, for if anyone of you (during the act of yawning) should say: 'Ha', Satan
will laugh at him. (Hadith Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 54, Number 509) Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Allah likes sneezing and dislikes yawning, so if someone sneezes and then
praises Allah, then it is obligatory on every Muslim who heard him, to say: May Allah be merciful to
you (Yar-hamuka-l-lah). But as regards yawning, it is from Satan, so one must try one's best to stop it,
if one says 'Ha' when yawning, Satan will laugh at him. Hadith Sahih Bukhari Volume 8, Book 73,
Number 242,245) Narrated Abu Huraira:
48. Muhammad said that Satan stayed in the upper part of a nose all night.
The Prophet said, "If anyone of you rouses from sleep and performs the ablution, he should
wash his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out thrice, because Satan has stayed in the
upper part of his nose all the night.” (Hadith Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 54, Number 516) Narrated
Abu Huraira:
49. Muhammad said a cock crows because it has seen an angel and donkeys bray because they have
seen Satan.
The Prophet said, "When you hear the crowing of cocks, ask for Allah's Blessings for (their
crowing indicates that) they have seen an angel. And when you hear the braying of donkeys, seek
Refuge with Allah from Satan for (their braying indicates) that they have seen a Satan.” (Hadith Sahih
Bukhari Volume 4, Book 54, Number 52) Narrated Abu Huraira:
50. Muhammad said that Satan touches all human offspring making them cry.
Abu Huraira said, "I heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'There is none born among the off-spring of
Adam, but Satan touches it. A child therefore, cries loudly at the time of birth because of the touch of
Satan, except Mary and her child." Then Abu Huraira recited: "And I seek refuge with You for her and
for her offspring from the outcast Satan" (3.36) (Hadith Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 55, Number
641 and Volume 6, Book 60, Number 71) Narrated Said bin Al-Musaiyab.
51. Muhammad said that devils spread out at night time and that Satan does not open a closed door.
Allah's Apostle said, "When night falls (or when it is evening), stop your children from going
out, for the devils spread out at that time. But when an hour of the night has passed, release them and
close the doors and mention Allah's Name, for Satan does not open a closed door. Tie the mouth of your
water-skin and mention Allah's Name; cover your containers and utensils and mention Allah's Name.
Cover them even by placing something across it, and extinguish your lamps.” (Hadith Sahih Bukhari
Volume 7, Book 69, Number 527) Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah
52. Muhammad said a child born from a union where a parent said a "phrase," Satan cannot harm the
child.
The Prophet said, "If anyone of you, when intending to have a sexual intercourse with his wife,
says: 'Bismillah, Allahumma jannibna-sh-shaitan, wa jannibi-sh-shaitan ma razaqtana,' and if the
couple are destined to have a child (out of that very sexual relation), then Satan will never be able to
harm that child. (Hadith Sahih Bukhari Volume 8, Book 75, Number 297) Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
53. Muhammad said that during sleep Satan ties knots at the back of the head.
Allah's Apostle said, "During your sleep, Satan knots three knots at the back of the head of each
of you, and he breathes the following words at each knot, 'The night is long, so keep on sleeping,' If
that person wakes up and celebrates the praises of Allah, then one knot is undone, and when he
performs ablution the second knot is undone, and when he prays, all the knots are undone, and he gets
up in the morning lively and gay, otherwise he gets up dull and gloomy." (Hadith Sahih Bukhari
Volume 4, Book 54, Number 491) Narrated Abu Huraira.
54. Muhammad said that Satan peed in the ear of a man.
It was mentioned before the Prophet that there was a man who slept the night till morning (after
sunrise). The Prophet said, "He is a man in whose ears (or ear) Satan had urinated." (Hadith Sahih
Bukhari Volume 4, Book 54, Number 492) Narrated 'Abdullah:ï'
55. Muhammad said that when praying while standing, Satan puts doubts into the person.
Allah's Apostle said, "When anyone of you stands for the prayers, Satan comes and puts him in
doubts till he forgets how many Rakat he has prayed. So if this happens to anyone of you, he should
perform two prostrations of Sahu while sitting. (Hadith Sahih Bukhari Volume 2, Book 22, Number
324) Narrated Abu Huraira.
56. Angels stop asking Allah to forgive people when they pass wind.
Allah's Apostle said, "The angels keep on asking Allah's forgiveness for anyone of you, as long
as he is at his Mu,salla (praying place) and he does not pass wind (Hadath). They say, 'O Allah! Forgive
him, O Allah! be Merciful to him." (Hadith Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 436) Narrated
Abu Huraira:
When he enters the mosque he is considered in prayer as long as he is waiting for the prayer and
the angels keep on asking for Allah's forgiveness for him and they keep on saying: 'O Allah! Be
Merciful to him, O Allah! Forgive him, as long as he keeps on sitting at his praying place and does not
pass wind. (Hadith Sahih Bukhari 620, Volume 1, Book 8, Number 466) Narrated Abu Huraira:
57. A man slept through prayer time and the devil peed in his ear.
It was mentioned before the Prophet that there was a man who slept the night till morning (after
sunrise). The Prophet said, "He is a man in whose ears (or ear) Satan had urinated." (Hadith Sahih
Bukhari Volume 4, Book 54, Number 492) Narrated 'Abdullah:
A person was mentioned before the Prophet (p.b.u.h) and he was told that he had kept on
sleeping till morning and had not got up for the prayer. The Prophet said,"Satan urinated in his ears."
(Hadith Sahih Bukhari Volume 3, Book 32, Number 245) Narrated 'Abdullah.
58. Magic worked on Muhammad
Magic was worked on the Prophet so that he began to fancy that he was doing a thing which he
was not actually doing. One day he invoked (Allah) for a long period and then said, "I feel that Allah
has inspired me as how to cure myself. Two persons came to me (in my dream) and sat, one by my
head and the other by my feet. One of them asked the other, "What is the ailment of this man?" The
other replied, 'He has been bewitched" The first asked, 'Who has bewitched him?' The other replied,
'Lubaid bin Al-A'sam.' The first one asked, 'What material has he used?' The other replied, 'A comb, the
hair gathered on it, and the outer skin of the pollen of the male date-palm.' The first asked, 'Where is
that?' The other replied, 'It is in the well of Dharwan.' " So, the Prophet went out towards the well and
then returned and said to me on his return, "Its date-palms (the date-palms near the well) are like the
heads of the devils." I asked, "Did you take out those things with which the magic was worked?" He
said, "No, for I have been cured by Allah and I am afraid that this action may spread evil amongst the
people." Later on the well was filled up with earth. (Hadith Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 54, Number
490) Narrated 'Aisha:
59. Magic doesn't affect you if you eat seven Ajwa dates every morning.
Allah's Apostle said, "He who eats seven 'Ajwa dates every morning, will not be affected by
poison or magic on the day he eats them." (Hadith Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 65, Number 356 and
Volume 7, Book 71, Number 663) Volume 7, Book 65, Number 356: Narrated Sad:ï'Also.
60. Allah made Adam 60 cubits high (generally a cubit was 18 inches. Therefore, Adam was 90 feet
tall)
The Prophet said, "Allah created Adam, making him 60 cubits tall. When He created him, He
said to him, "Go and greet that group of angels, and listen to their reply, for it will be your greeting
(salutation) and the greeting (salutations of your offspring)." So, Adam said (to the angels), As-Salamu
Alaikum (i.e. Peace be upon you). The angels said, "As-salamu Alaika wa Rahmatu-l-lahi" (i.e. Peace
and Allah's Mercy be upon you). Thus the angels added to Adam's salutation the expression, 'Wa
Rahmatu-l-lahi,' Any person who will enter Paradise will resemble Adam (in appearance and figure).
People have been decreasing in stature since Adam's creation." (Hadith Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book
55, 543) Narrated Abu Huraira.
61. Muhammad is ordered by Allah to fight all people until they worship Allah
Allah's Apostle said: "I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify
that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle, and offer the
prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform that, then they save their lives and
property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah."
(Hadith Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 2, Number 24) Narrated Ibn 'Umar.
62. The Qur'an was revealed in the dialect of the Quraish.
"The Caliph 'Uthman ordered Zaid bin Thabit, Said bin Al-As, 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair and
'Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Harith bin Hisham to write the Quran in the form of a book (Mushafs) and said
to them. "In case you disagree with Zaid bin Thabit (Al-Ansari) regarding any dialectic Arabic
utterance of the Quran, then write it in the dialect of Quraish, for the Quran was revealed in this
dialect." So they did it." (Hadith Sahih Bukhari Volume 6, Book 61, Number 507) Narrated Anas bin
Malik.
63. The Qur'an was not collected together by Muhammad.
Abu Bakr As-Siddiq sent for me when the people! of Yamama had been killed (i.e., a number of
the Prophet's Companions who fought against Musailama). (I went to him) and found 'Umar bin AlKhattab sitting with him. Abu Bakr then said (to me), "Umar has come to me and said: "Casualties
were heavy among the Qurra' of the! Qur'an (i.e. those who knew the Quran by heart) on the day of the
Battle of Yalmama, and I am afraid that more heavy casualties may take place among the Qurra' on
other battlefields, whereby a large part of the Qur'an may be lost. Therefore I suggest you (Abu Bakr)
order that the Qur'an be collected." I said to 'Umar, "How can you do something which Allah's Apostle
did not do?" 'Umar said, "By Allah, that is a good project. "Umar kept on urging me to accept his
proposal till Allah opened my chest for it and I began to realize the good in the idea which 'Umar had
realized." Then Abu Bakr said (to me). 'You are a wise young man and we do not have any suspicion
about you, and you used to write the Divine Inspiration for Allah's Apostle. So you should search for
(the fragmentary scripts of) the Qur'an and collect it in one book)." By Allah if they had ordered me to
shift one of the mountains, it would not have been heavier for me than this ordering me to collect the
Qur'an. Then I said to Abu Bakr, "How will you do something which Allah's Apostle did not do?" Abu
Bakr replied, "By Allah, it is a good project." Abu Bakr kept on urging me to accept his idea until Allah
opened my chest for what He had opened the chests of Abu Bakr and 'Umar. So I started looking for the
Qur'an and collecting it from (what was written on) palmed stalks, thin white stones and also from the
men who knew it by heart, till I found the last Verse of Surat At-Tauba (Repentance) with Abi
Khuzaima Al-Ansari, and I did not find it with anybody other than him. The Verse is: 'Verily there has
come unto you an Apostle (Muhammad) from amongst yourselves. It grieves him that you should
receive any injury or difficulty..(till the end of Surat-Baraa)' (At-Tauba) (9.128-129) Then the complete
manuscripts (copy) of the Qur'an remained with Abu Bakr till he died, then with 'Umar till the end of
his life, and then with Hafsa, the daughter of 'Umar." (Hadith Sahih Bukhari Volume 6, Book 61,
Number 509) Narrated Zaid bin Thabit.
64. The Qur'an was compiled because of differences among various manuscripts
Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman came to Uthman at the time when the people of Sham and the people of
Iraq were Waging war to conquer Arminya and Adharbijan. Hudhaifa was afraid of their (the people of
Sham and Iraq) differences in the recitation of the Qur'an, so he said to 'Uthman, "O chief of the
Believers! Save this nation before they differ about the Book (Quran) as Jews and the Christians did
before." So 'Uthman sent a message to Hafsa saying, "Send us the manuscripts of the Qur'an so that we
may compile the Qur'anic materials in perfect copies and return the manuscripts to you." Hafsa sent it
to 'Uthman. 'Uthman then ordered Zaid bin Thabit, 'Abdullah bin AzZubair, Said bin Al-As and
'AbdurRahman bin Harith bin Hisham to rewrite the manuscripts in perfect copies. 'Uthman said to the
three Quraishi men, "In case you disagree with Zaid bin Thabit on any point in the Qur'an, then write it
in the dialect of Quraish, the Qur'an was revealed in their tongue." They did so, and when they had
written many copies, 'Uthman returned the original manuscripts to Hafsa. 'Uthman sent to every
Muslim province one copy of what they had copied, and ordered that all the other Qur'anic materials,
whether written in fragmentary manuscripts or whole copies, be burnt. Said bin Thabit added, "A Verse
from Surat Ahzab was missed by me when we copied the Qur'an and I used to hear Allah's Apostle
reciting it. So we searched for it and found it with Khuzaima bin Thabit Al-Ansari. (That Verse was):
'Among the Believers are men who have been true in their covenant with Allah.' (33.23) (Hadith Sahih
Bukhari Volume 6, Book 61, Number 510) Narrated Anas bin Malik.
A Qur'anic verse is cancelled
The Prophet sent seventy men from the tribe of Bani Salim to the tribe of Bani Amir. When they
reached there, my maternal uncle said to them, "I will go ahead of you, and if they allow me to convey
the message of Allah's Apostle (it will be all right); otherwise you will remain close to me." So he went
ahead of them and the pagans granted him security. But while he was reporting the message of the
Prophet , they beckoned to one of their men who stabbed him to death. My maternal uncle said, "Allah
is Greater! By the Lord of the Kaba, I am successful." After that they attacked the rest of the party and
killed them all except a lame man who went up to the top of the mountain. (Hammam, a sub-narrator
said, "I think another man was saved along with him)." Gabriel informed the Prophet that they (i.e the
martyrs) met their Lord, and He was pleased with them and made them pleased. We used to recite,
"Inform our people that we have met our Lord, He is pleased with us and He has made us pleased "
Later on this Quranic Verse was cancelled. The Prophet invoked Allah for forty days to curse the
murderers from the tribe of Ral, Dhakwan, Bani Lihyan and Bam Usaiya who disobeyed Allah and his
Apostle." (Hadith Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 57, 69 and 299) Narrated Anas.
65. Various Qur'an manuscripts had missing verses.
Zaid bin Thabit said, "When the Quran was compiled from various written manuscripts, one of
the Verses of Surat Al-Ahzab was missing which I used to hear Allah's Apostle reciting. I could not find
it except with Khuzaima bin Thabjt Al-Ansari, whose witness Allah's Apostle regarded as equal to the
witness of two men. And the Verse was:-- "Among the believers are men who have been true to what
they covenanted with Allah." (33.23) (Hadith Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 62) Narrated
Kharija bin Zaid.
66. Muhammad was once bewitched
"Once the Prophet was bewitched so that he began to imagine that he had done a thing which in
fact he had not done." (Hadith Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 53, Number 400) Narrated Aisha.
67. Muhammad said that one wing of a house fly has a disease and the other wing has the cure.
The Prophet said "If a house fly falls in the drink of anyone of you, he should dip it (in the
drink), for one of its wings has a disease and the other has the cure for the disease." (Hadith Sahih
Bukhari Volume 4, Book 54, Number 537) Narrated Abu Huraira.
68. Angels don't enter houses with dogs in them.
The Prophet said, "Angels do not enter a house witch has either a dog or a picture in it." (Hadith
Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 54, Number 539) Narrated Abu Talha.
69. Women and sons can be mortgaged.
". . . Now we want you to lend us a camel load or two of food." (Some difference between
narrators about a camel load or two.) Kab said, "Yes, (I will lend you), but you should mortgage
something to me." Muhammad bin Mas-lama and his companion said, "What do you want?" Ka'b
replied, "Mortgage your women to me." They said, "How can we mortgage our women to you and you
are the most handsome of the 'Arabs?" Ka'b said, "Then mortgage your sons to me." They said, "How
can we mortgage our sons to you? Later they would be abused by the people's saying that so-and-so has
been mortgaged for a camel load of food. That would cause us great disgrace, but we will mortgage our
arms to you." (Hadith Sahih Bukhari Volume 5, Book 59, Number 369) Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah.
70. A fever is from the heat of hell fire
I used to sit with Ibn 'Abbas in Mecca. Once I had a fever and he said (to me), "Cool your fever
with Zam-zam water, for Allah's Apostle said: 'It, (the Fever) is from the heat of the (Hell) Fire; so, cool
it with water (or Zam-zam water)." (Hadith Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 54, Number 483) Narrated
Abu Jamra Ad-Dabi.
Jihad is the Path of Allah:
In the Qur'an and in other Muslim usage the word “jihad” is followed by “fi sabil Illah,” meaning “in
the path of Allah.” All 199 references to jihad in the Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari assume warfare.
The Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari recorded:
Mohemmed said, “The person who participates in (Holy battles) in Allah's cause and nothing
compels him to do so except belief in Allah and His Apostle, will be recompensed by Allah either with
a reward, or booty (if he survives) or will be admitted to paradise (if he is killed).” (Hadith Sahih alBukhari, Vol. 1, No. 35)
Raymond Ibrahim, in his “The Al Qaeda Reader” (Doubleday, 2007), explained how terrorists today
are inspired by the example of Mohammed, who used a catapult to besiege the city of Ta'if (Elta'el).
When informed that catapults were killing women and children, Mohammed continued the seige,
saying: “They are from among them [infidels].”
Hadith Sahih al Bukhari recorded”
Mohammed said, “No Muslim should be killed for killing a Kafir (infidel).” (hadith Sahih alBukhari, Vol. 9, No. 50)
Some modern Muslims promote the idea of jihad as simply a personal inner struggle, which,
coincidentally, is the name of Adolph Hitler's book, “Mein Kampf”, (My Struggle). In the struggle to be
a better Muslim, one must ask, who was the best Muslim? Obviously, Mohammed. So it follows that as
Mohammed was a religious, political and military leader, those following his example imitate him
religiously, politically and militarily.
The effort to promote a more politically correct version of “jihad” is incongruous with imams
and clerics issuing fatwahs and calling for violence on Israel and infidels. The 1400 year historical
record leaves little confusion over the interpretation of jihad held by Mohammed, the “rightly guided”
Caliphs and the Sultans who conquered large areas of the world for Allah.
Mohammed received the verses:
At-Taubah 9:73 - O Prophet! Struggle against the unbelievers and hypocrites and be harsh with them.
At-Taubah 9:5 – Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them,
and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and
establish worship and pay the poor due, then leave their way free.
An-Nisa 4:89 – They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be
(ll) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah's way; but if
they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a
friend or a helper.
Hadith Sahih Bukhari, narrated Abdullah bin Masud, stated:
I asked Allah's Apostle, “O Allah's Apostle! What is the best deed?”
He replied, “To offer the prayers at their early stated fixed times.”
I asked, “What is the next in goodness?”
He replied, “To be good and dutiful to your parents.”
I further asked, “What is next in goodness?”
He replied, “To participate in Jihad in Allah's Cause.”
I did not ask Allah's Apostle anymore and if I had asked him more, he would have told me
more. (Vol. 4, Book 52, No. 41)
Hadith Malik's Muwatta (Book. 21, No. 3, 11) reads:
It has been passed down to us that when the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, sent out a raiding party, he would say to them,
“Make your raids in the name of Allah in the way of Allah. Fight whoever denies Allah. Do not
steal from the booty, and do not act treacherously. Do not mutilate and do not kill children.”
Say the same to your armies and raiding parties, Allah willing. Peace be upon you.
Fighting is Obligatory For You:
Al-Baqarah 2:216 – Fighting is obligatory for you, as much as you dislike it.
The Yusufali Translation of that verse states:
Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is
good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not.
The Pickthal Translation states:
Warfare is ordained for you, though it is hateful unto you; but it may happen that ye hate a thing
which is good for you, and it may happen that ye love a thing which is bad for you. Allah knoweth, ye
know not.
The Shakir Translation states:
Fighting is enjoined on you, and it is an object of dislike to you; and it may be that you dislike a
thing a while it is good for you, and it may be that you love a thing while it is evil for you, and Allah
knows, while you do not know.
Mohamed fought in 66 battles/raids, including:
624 AD Battle of Badr.
625 AD Battle of Uhud and Expulsion of Banu Nadir.
626 AD Attack on Banu Mustaliq.
627 AD Battle of the Trench and killing/enslaving Banu Quraiza.
628 AD Battle of Khaybar.
629 AD Battle of Mu'tah.
630 AD Conquest of Mecca, Battle of Hunayn, Battle of Auras and Siege of al-Ta'if (where Mohammed
used a catapult)
631 AD Battle of Tabouk, Subjugation of Banu Thaqif (Yemen) and Subjugation of Ghassanids (Arab
Christians)
Muslim Diplomacy:
Muslim “diplomacy” involves the concept known as “al-Taqiyya” (“al-Takeyya”) which literally means
to conceal or disguise one's beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, intentions or strategies, thus
preventing or guarding against your enemy.
It is permissible in Islam to speak falsehoods for the sake of Allah, to promote the cause of
Islam, to prevent denigration of Islam, or to protect oneself by pretending to be friends with an infidel.
This is less of a premeditated act of deceit than a cultural habit, similar to haggling over prices in the
marketplace.
Mohammed spoke of this concept in the Qur'an:
Al-Imran 3:28 (Pickthal Translation) - Let not the believers take disbelievers for their friends in
preference to believers. Whoso doeth that hath no connection with Allah unless (it be) that ye but guard
(Takeyya) yourselves against them, taking (as it were) security. Allah biddeth you beware (only) of
Himself. Unto Allah is the journeying.
Al-Imran 3:28 (Yusufali Translation) – Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers...
Al-Imran 3:28 (Shakir Translation) – Let not the believers take the unbelievers for friends....
Holy Lying:
The Qur'an has Suras like: “Truly Allah guides not one who transgresses and lies,” (Sura 40:28) and the
Hadith: “Be honest because honesty leads to goodness, and it leads to immortality, and immortality
leads to Hell.”
However, the Muslim scholar Afif A. Tabbarah wrote in his book, “The Spirit of Islam” (Intl
Book Centre; 2nd Reve. ed., 1988, pg. 247):
Lying is not always bad, to be sure; there are times when telling a lie is more profitable and
better for the general welfare, and for the settlement of conciliation among people, than telling the
truth. To this effect, the Prophet says: “He is not a false person who (through lies) settles conciliation
among people, supports good or says what is good.”
Mohammed's daughter, Umm Kulthum, who married Caliph Uthman, testified that she had never heard
the Apostle of Allah condone lying, except in three situations: For reconciliation among Muslims, in
war, and amongst wives, to keep peace in the family.
Treaties – Hudna:
The Muslims concept for treaty is “Hudna” or “cease-fire.” Mohammed set the example that when
Muslims armies are weak, they should seek truces and when they are strong, they should fight without
mercy.
Kaab Ibn al-Ashrf was a member of the Jewish tribe, Banu al-Nudair. It was reported that Kaab
had supported the Quraishites in their battle against Mohammed. Mohammed was also infuirated
because he heard Kaab had recited amorous poetry to Muslim women. Mohammed asked for
volunteers to rid him of Kaab Ibn al-Ashraf, saying Kaab had “harmed Allah and His Apostle.”
When pagan leader Kaab Ibn al-Ashraf was preparing to fight Mohammed, his tribe was strong
and it was not easy to gain access to him. Mohammed granted permission for his warrior, Ibn Muslima,
to lie in order to infiltrate Kaab's camp and murder him. Ibn Muslima went to Kaab, saying he was no
longer loyal to Mohammed, thus gaining Kaab's trust. Ibn Muslima said he wanted to talk privately and
lured Kaab away from his other soldiers, then murdered him under cover of darkness.
Jizyah Protection Money:
At-Taubah 9:29 – Fight those who believe not in Allah, nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which
hath been forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the
religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the jizya with willing
submission, and feel themselves subdued.
“Jizyah” can best be described to the western mind as “protection money” or extortion, typically 80%
of one's income in times of tolerance and 150% during oppression.
In cities like New York or Chicago, gang members were notorious for entering a storefront
business and offering to “protect” the store for a fee. If the business owner declined, they would soon
find their store broken into and vandalized. After this, the store owners would pay the “protection
money,” with willing submission, when gang members would visit.
Qur'an and Women:
The Hadith, narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri, states:
The Prophet said, “Isn't the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?” The women
said, “Yes.” He said, “This is because of the deficiency of a woman's mind.” (Volume 3, Book 48,
number 826)
TIME Magazine (2001) reported in Iran: “The legal age for marriage is 9 for girls.” A Muslim man can
take 4 wives, not counting slave mistresses and concubines.
An-Nisa 4:3 – Marry women of your choice, two, or three, or four.
Islam permit sex outside of marriage if it is with slaves and captives of war.
An-Nisa 4:24 Pickthal Translation– Married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives)
whom your fight hands possess. It is a decree of Allah for you. Lawful unto you are all beyond those
mentioned.
If a woman is raped, she is guilty of tempting the man and receives 100 lashes.
An-Nur 24:2 – The woman...guilty of adultery or fornication, - flog...with a hundred stripes: Let not
compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last
Day: and let a party of the Believers witness their punishment.
An-Nisa 4:34 Rashad Khalifa Translation – If you experience rebellion from the women, you shall first
talk to them, then (you may use negative incentives like) deserting them in bed, then you may (as a last
alternative) beat them. If they obey you, you are not permitted to transgress against them. Allah is Most
High, Supreme.
In Muhammad's time, women's roles were notably inferior to men's. One of the most difficult
verses reads: "Righteous women are therefore obedient, guarding the secret for God's guarding.
And those you fear may be rebellious admonish; banish them to their couches, and beat them"
(Surah 4:34). The Arabic word "beat" or "scourge" does not mean tap lightly; it is the same word
used to beat a violent criminal or a camel. Muhammad himself once deliberately struck ‘Aisha
"on the chest which caused me pain", according to Sahih Muslim vol.2:2127
A translation by Hassan Qaribullah and Ahmad Darwish says husbands can “smack them (without
harshness).” The Yusufali Translation says to “beat them (lightly),” as with a rod no thicker than a
thumb - “the Rule of Thumb.”
Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari, by Imran bin Husain:
The Prophet said, “I looked at Paradise and found poor people forming the majority of its
inhabitants; and I looked at Hell and saw that the majority of its inhabitants were women.” (Hadith
Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 7, No. 125)
Prayer is annulled by a dog, a donkey or a woman passing in front of you. (Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari
Vol.1, Book 9, No. 490)
The Quran in Surah (Chapter) 2:223 says:
Your women are your fields, so go into your fields whichever way you like . . . . (MAS Abdel Haleem,
The Qur’an, Oxford UP, 2004)
Surah 4:34 - A husband can beat a wife into submission if the wife refuses sexual relations.
The authenticity of the above Hadith is undisputed. It is reported by the two most reliable
collections of Hadith; Bukhari and Muslim. The agreement of Bukhari and Muslim on its
authenticity makes it (mutafaqun 'alayhi) 'agreed upon', which is the highest degree of
authenticity. The above Hadith has been accepted and used by eminent scholars, such as Ghazali,
Ibn al-'Arabi, Razi, Suyouti, Qortobi, Nawawi, and Ibn Kathir, in their writings.
Muhammad also once said; "If there is an evil omen in anything, it is in the house, the woman,
and the horse. Reference: Sahih Al-Bukhari, vol. 7, book 62, no. 31.
"Omar [one of the Khalifs] was once talking when his wife interjected, so he said to her: 'You are
a toy, if you are needed we will call you."[21]
And 'Amru Bin al-'Aas, also a Khalif, said: "Women are toys, so choose."[22]
Muhammad himself said: "The woman is a toy, whoever takes her let him care for her (or do not lose
her)."[23]
In Saudi Arabia women are so second class that they can't even sit in the front seat of a car with their
husband; even if they were the only two people in the car. Women can't eat in most public eating
places. If they do, it's in a back door room. According to Iranian law, a boy can be executed from the
age of 15, and a girl from the age of nine.
The ruler of Egypt once sent Muhammad a rich present consisting of a variety of expensive
articles, including two Coptic Christian slave girls. Muhammad decided to take the more
beautiful of the two, Mariyah, for himself, lodging her in a nearby house. His other wives became
severely jealous, creating great unhappiness for the girl, and such torment for Muhammad that he
promised his wives that he would not see the girl anymore. This circumstance resulted in
Muhammad receiving yet another revelation from Allah called the "Surah of Banning" or
Prohibition, Surah 66. This revelation conveniently disapproved of Muhammad for banning the
girl from his life, it absolved Muhammad of the oath he had taken to stop seeing her. And, it
rebuked his wives (two in particular), and even threatened the entire harem with the possibility
that Muhammad might divorce them and replace them with "widows and virgin maids". Mariyah
later became the bearer of Muhammad's only male child. (Reference: The Quran Unveiled, Pg
28)
This is exactly what Muhammad's wife A’isha said to the great Caliphs and "teachers" of her day:
She said; "You have put us on the same level with a donkey and a dog."
A’isha made this statement to those great companions and scholars of the time of Muhammad.
A’isha said this to Ali Ibn Abi Talib, Abdalla Ibn Abbas, Abu-zarr, Abu Hurayra, Anas Ibn Malik
and others on whose authority most of Muhammad’s Hadith and interpretations of the Qur’an
were handed down.
A'isha said it's because these "pillars" of Islam assured people that Muhammad said that if a man
is praying and a donkey, a dog, or a woman passes in front of him, his prayer will not be
acceptable, and he has to perform ablution (washing) again and repeat his prayer. None of the
scholars question this matter. In Islam, this is repeated every day—whenever a woman passes in
front of a man while he is praying; or if a dog or a donkey walks in front of him. In this case, a
good Muslim has to wash himself again and repeat his prayer; otherwise his prayer will not be
counted.
Under Iran's brutal Islamic Sharia Laws, women usually get stoned for crimes against chastity. While
men who even murder someone in a fit of rage in these cases, usually get only a few years in jail.
Radical behavior:
Aisha (only 6 when married) believed whatever Muhammad told her about his divine inspiration.
Muhammad claimed that he used to get revelations from Allah only when he slept with Aisha. Why is it
that Gabriel did not bother to visit him when Muhammad spent nights with other wives in his harem?
Reference: ahadith from Sahih Bukhari: "Muhammad used to get divine inspiration only in Aisha's
bed"...3.47.755
Volume 4, Book 54, Number 440:
Narrated Abu Salama:
'Aisha said that the Prophet said to her "O 'Aisha' This is Gabriel and he sends his (greetings)
salutations to you." 'Aisha said, "Salutations (Greetings) to him, and Allah's Mercy and Blessings be on
him," and addressing the Prophet she said, "You see what I don't see."
There are no recorded miracles of Muhammad in the Qur'an, but when Muhammad's followers saw
Muhammad's inferiority to Jesus they started making some up in the Hadith: Muhammad cut the moon
in half with a sword, a palm tree cried like a baby because Muhammad wouldn't preach under it,
Muhammad made water flow out of his fingernails so that people could drink--the Hadith contradicts
itself on how many supposedly people drank it. These made up "miracles" go on and on. Also, the
Hadith makes it clear that Muhammad was a sinner--NOT sinless as some Muslims now claim:
"Muhammad replied..."O Allah, set me apart from my sins..." Volume 1, number 711
Surah 17:90-94 of the Qur'an tells about how, when Muhammad was challenged to perform a miracle
and prove he was from the true god, he could not perform any and here he actually says himself: "Am I
anything but a man,- a messenger? ".
In Surah 13:7, we find that Muhammad did not perform any miracles. The people are saying that even
one sign would be enough to convince them, just one miracle performed by Muhammad - and yet he
still does none...
All along, the unbelievers asked Muhammad to perform a miracle so that they could believe. All they
got in response was,
Surah 17:90 - They say: "We will by no means believe in you until you cause a fountain to gush forth
from the earth for us.,"
And Muhammad would reply:
Surah 17:93 - Say: "Am I anything but a man,- a messenger?"
Moslems, as well as others, have disregarded the historical facts. They have continually striven to turn
this man [Mohammed] into an imaginary superhuman being, a sort of God in human clothes, and have
generally ignored the ample evidence of his humanity. They have been ready… to present these
fantasies as miracles. (Ali Dashti, "Twenty Three Years: A Study of the Prophetic Career of
Mohammad",)
Mohammed conversed with demons:
Al Bukhari, a Muslim scholar of the 9th and 10th century, and the most authoritative of the Muslim
tradition compilers, writes that whenever Muhammad fell into one of his unpredictable trances his
revelations were written on whatever was handy at the time.
According to Al Waqidi, Muhammad would break everything brought into the house with a shape of
the cross on it. Additionally, Ahmad ibn Hanbal (A.D. 855) said that Muhammad would foam at the
mouth during prayer. Christians should immediately remember the Apostle Mark's telling of Jesus
casting a demon out of a boy who was possessed. This demon-possessed boy also showed this
symptom of "foaming at the mouth".
We know from Islamic historians that Muhammad's many wives did believe he was a a prophet of
Allah, in part, because Muhammad would frequently go into epileptic frenzies and foam at the mouth,
while receiving his "revelations". Also, unlike any of the true prophets of Israel, Muhammad would go
through prolonged periods of time when he himself thought he was going mad, or that he was
possessed by demons. The Hebrew prophets never acted like this. The Hebrew prophets were certain
that God (Yahweh) was speaking to them.
Islam incorporates beliefs in jinns (which are genies, fairies); in spells, magic stones, fetishes; and
animistic beliefs (spirits living in inanimate objects). See: Suras 55:15; 72; 113, 114.
Quote from the Qur'an: [72.1] Say: It has been revealed to me that a party of the jinn listened, and they
said: Surely we have heard a wonderful Qur'an,
Muhammad himself was convinced that the "revelations" he received in this Hira Cave were evil, and
from a demon (Jinn). Muhammad's constant fits, foaming at the mouth and other manifestations
certainly fit in with that idea. This is how demon possessed people are known to behave today, as they
did in both the times of Jesus and Muhammad. The Hebrew prophets, and Jesus Christ never behaved
like this. But all over the world where demons are listened to, you will find this kind of behavior.
Like Adam & Eve, the Serpent first tempts the woman:
It was Muhammad's wife that convinced Muhammad that what he received in the cave was from God.
According to Amr ibn Sharhabil, mentioned to his wife Khadijah that he feared he was possessed by
demons and wondered whether others might consider him possessed by jinn (Pfander 1910:345)
Changed Direction of Bowing:
Mohammed changed the direction of bowing away from the Jewish Temple site in Jerusalem to Mecca.
( The name “Jerusalem” does not appear in the Qur'an.) The Hadith narrated Bara bin Azib stated that
the “qibla” or “direction” toward which Mohammed originally prayed was facing the Jewish Temple
site in Jerusalem, called the “Baitul-Maqdis” or “the House of the Holiness.”
Mohammed made the new direction of prayer toward the black meteorite stone in the square
building in Mecca called the Ka'aba, which pagan Arabs had previously bowed to for centuries in
association with the moon god, believing the stone to have fallen from the sky:
Al-Baqarah 2:144 – Allah's Apostle prayed facing Baitul-Maqdis for sixteen or seventeen months but
he loved to face the Ka'ba (at Mecca) so Allah revealed: “Verily, We have see the turning of your face
to the haven!”
Face Mecca while praying. (Surah 2:144). Face Jerusalem while praying. Originally Muhammad
instructed Muslims to face Jerusalem when praying; probably because Solomon established the practice
of praying while facing Jerusalem (1 Kings 8:29, 30, 44; 2 Chronicles 6:21; Daniel 6:10). Apparently,
Muhammad believed at first that God wanted him to pray facing Jerusalem and he did so for nearly 1617 months - at least while he thought the he could convert the Jews to his religion. However, later,
when the Jews rebuffed him Muhammad preferred to pray towards the Ka'ba in Mecca which, during
this point in time, contained 360 idols.
Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 392
Narrated Bara' bin 'Azib:
Allah's Apostle prayed facing Baitul-Maqdis for sixteen or seventeen months but he loved to
face the Ka'ba (at Mecca) so Allah revealed: "Verily, We have seen the turning of your face to
the heaven!" (2:144) So the Prophet faced the Ka'ba and the fools amongst the people namely
"the Jews" said, "What has turned them from their Qibla (Bait-ul-Maqdis) which they formerly
observed"" (Allah revealed): "Say: 'To Allah belongs the East and the West. He guides whom he
will to a straight path'." (2:142) A man prayed with the Prophet (facing the Ka'ba) and went out.
He saw some of the Ansar praying the 'Asr prayer with their faces towards Bait-ul-Maqdis, he
said, "I bear witness that I prayed with Allah's Apostle facing the Ka'ba." So all the people
turned their faces towards the Ka'ba.
This is a Saudi Textbook:
Jeremy Paxman of BBC's Newsnight, February 6, 207, asked Dr. Sumaya Alyusuf of the Islamic King
Fahd Academy in Acton, England, if she recognized the Saudi textbooks which called Jews apes and
Christians pigs.
Dr. Sumaya Alyusuf replied:
Yes, I do recognize these books, of course. We have these books in our school.
The Washington Post, May 21, 2006, published excerpts from these Saudi textbooks in an
article by Nina Shea titled “This is a Saudi textbook (after the intolerance was removed)”:
First Grade:
“Every religion other than Islam is false.”
“Filly in the blanks with the appropriate words (Islam, hellfire): Every religion other than ______ is
false. Whoever dies outside of Islam enters _____.”
Fourth Grade:
“True belief means...that you hate the polytheists and infidels.”
Fifth Grade:
“Whoever obeys the Prophet and accepts the oneness of Allah cannot maintain a loyal friendship with
those who oppose Allah and His Prophet, even if they are his closest relatives.”
“It is forbidden for a Muslim to be a loyal friend to someone who does not believe in Allah and His
Prophet.”
“A Muslim, even if he lives far away, is your brother in religion. Someone who opposes Allah, even if
he is your brother by family tie, is your enemy in religion.”
Sixth Grade:
“Just as Muslims were successful in the past when they came together in a sincere endeavor to evict the
Christian crusaders from Palestine, so will the Arabs and Muslims emerge victorious, Allah willing,
against the Jews and their allies.”
Eight Grade:
“As cited in Ibn Abbas: The apes are Jews, the people of the Sabbath; while the swine are the
Christians, the infidels of the communion of Jesus.” [swine (pigs) are abhorrent to faithful Muslims]
“Some of the people of the Sabbath were punished by being turned into apes and swine.”
“Some of them were made to worship the devil, and not Allah, through consecration, sacrifice, prayers,
appeals for help, and other types of worship.”
“Some of the Jews worship the devil. Likewise, some members of this nation worship the devil, and not
Allah.”
“The Jews, whom Allah has cursed and with whom He is so angry that He will never again be satisfied
with them.”
“Activity: The student writes composition on the danger of imitating the infidels.”
Ninth Grade:
“The clash between this [Muslim] community [umma] and the Jews are Christians has endured, and it
will continue as long as Allah wills.”
“It is part of Allah's wisdom that the struggle between the Muslim and the Jews should continue until
the hour [of judgment].”
“Muslims will triumph because they are right.”
Tenth Grade:
“Blood money is retribution paid to the victim or the victim's heirs for murder or injury. Blood money
for a free infidel is half of the blood money for a male Muslim...Blood money for a woman is half of
the blood money for a man.”
Eleventh Grade:
“The greeting 'Peace be upon you' is specifically for believers. It cannot be said to others.”
“Do not yield to Christians and Jews on a narrow road out of honor and respect.”
Twelfth Grade:
“Jihad in the path of Allah – which consists of battling against unbelief, oppression, injustice, and those
who perpetrate it – is the summit of Islam. This religion arose through jihad and through jihad was its
banner raised high.”
Confusion over Trinity:
We ourselves are a trinity: Body, mind, and spirit.
Son has two definitions.......
Walad = Son from a sexual union.
Ibn = Son in the widest sense.
In verses which say Allah did not have a son, the Arabic word used for son is walad.
In the Hadith, narrated Abu said al-Khudri:
Afterwards the Christians will be called upon and it will be said to them, “Who do you use to
worship?” They will say, “We used to worship Jesus, the son of Allah.” It will be said to them, “You are
liars, for Allah has never taken anyone as a wife or a son,” ( Vol. 6, Book 60, No. 105)
Over a century before Mohammed, the Council of Ephesus (431 a.d.) gave Mary the title of
“Theotokos” (Mother of God), which may have contributed to his misunderstanding the concept of the
Trinity. Hilaire Belloc, President of the Oxford Union and a Member of the British Parliament, wrote in
“The Great Heresies (1938):
Mohammedism was a perversion of Christian doctrine...He eliminated the Trinity...He was
content to accept all that appealed to him...and to reject all that seemed to him too complicated...He
was born a pagan, living among pagans, and never baptized. He adopted Christian doctrines...and
dropped those that did not suit him...The success of Mohammedanism...was an extreme simplicity
which pleased the unintelligent masses.
Perhaps due to being illiterate, Mohammed mistakenly thought Christians worshipped three gods – a
male god, a female goddess and a child god, as idols were worshipped for centuries in Arabia and
Persia, i.e. Sumerian god dumuzi and goddess Ianna; Babylonian god Tammuz and goddess Ishtar;
Egyptian god Osiris and goddess Isis and son, Horus; Greek god Cronus and goddess Rhea and son,
Zeus. Mohammed confused pagan beliefs with what Christians believed regarding the Father, Mary and
Jesus.
At age 13, with his mother and grandfather dead, Mohammed was raised by his uncle, Abu Talib, a
textile merchant who went on camel caravans to foreign lands. Mohammed could not read, so what he
learned about Judaism, Christianity, Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism and Arabian pagan religions, such as
Sabeans, came mostly from stories and oral traditions he heard on these travels.
Muslims are wrongly taught about the Trinity. The Trinity has nothing to do with how many gods there
are. It only has to do with God's nature and the three persons/natures that make up the one God.
Christians know there is only one God, but this God has 3 persons (Father, Son, Holy Spirit). This is a
mystery. "Can a dog understand the nature of man?" Likewise, we only have proofs of God's three
natures. God is spirit and light. God's Holy Spirit is present in all places at once.
1 John 2: 22-23 - Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth
the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that
acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
Jesus told us, there would only be one more revelation of truth that would come after Him. John 14:17,
16:7 & 13 tell us that Jesus said a "Spirit of Truth" (not a man - a Spirit), the Comforter would come
after He Himself departed. This Comforter was to guide us "into all truth". So there would then be no
truth remaining which would be sealed or hidden. Christians know this "Comforter" as the third person
of the triune God, or the "Holy Spirit".
John 14:26 - "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he
shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you".
Surah 7:157 - `Jesus, the son of Mary, said, O children of Israel, verily I am the Apostle of God sent
unto you confirming the law which was given before me, and bringing good tidings of an Apostle who
shall come after me, whose name shall be Ahmed.
Confusion of Jewish Beliefs:
British scholar Edward Carpenter in his book “Pagan and Christian Creeds: Their Origin and Meaning”
(1920; reprinted 1998), wrote that the child of the mother goddess in Arabia and Persia was called
“Aben Ezra.” Mohammed imputed this pagan belief to the Jews when he said Jews believed “Ezra”
was the “son of God,” as written in the Hadith, narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Then the Jews will be called upon and it will be said to them, “Who do you use to worship?”
They will say, “We used to worship Ezra, the son of Allah.”
It will be said to them, “You are liars, for Allah has never taken anyone as a wife or a son. What do you
want now?” (Vol. 6, Book 60, No. 105)
The Arabic spelling of Ezra is “Uzair.” Mohammed revealed that he inadvertently imputed this pagan
belief in “Aben Ezra” to Jews.
At-Taubah 9:30-31 – The Jews call Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah.
That is a saying from their mouth, (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say.
Praying:
Yahweh wants heartfelt prayers. Not scripted prayers. Muslims typically never even think of one-onone, two-way prayers to God. Muslim prayers resemble a "broadcast"; and no reply from their Allah is
usually ever expected.
Jesus told us: "But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen (pagans) do: for they think
that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father
knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him." Matthew 6:7-8
GOD's name:
If Islam was true, Muslims would know the name of the true God is not Allah, but Yahweh.
In fact, for generations before Muhammad was born, the Arabs worshipped some 360 pagan gods
housed at a stone temple in Mecca called the Kabah. According to archaeologists, the chief deity of
Mecca was the moon-god called al-ilah (meaning the god or the idol), which was shortened to Allah in
pre-Islamic times. Pagan Arabs even used Allah in the names they gave themselves: Muhammad's
father ‘Abd Allāh ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib', for example, had Allah as part of his name. Allah then is an
ancient Arabian "moon god, and the son of Baal".
Allah doesn't have roots in Arabian times, comes from the Babylonian god Alla which was the god of
violence and revolution.
Their is no indication in history that Muhammad even ever knew the real name of God
(Yahweh/Jehovah/I am/Yeshua), so Muhammad picked Allah (Al-Iahi), who was the ancient Arab
moon god, their war god, and their sword god.
When Muhammad first started screaming from the rooftops that he alone had the divine word of God,
the people of Mecca ignored him. However, when he started insulting and defaming the religion of the
peace loving Meccans, they couldn't take it anymore and tried persuading him to stop. Muhammad the
coward was too scared of the growing hostility against him and instead of calling upon his Allah to
strike down the Meccans, he crept out of the city one night and fled for his life.
Ever since that incident, Muhammad was determined to take revenge on the Meccans. He escaped to
Medina, which had a sizeable Jewish population, and started plotting his revenge with a small gang of
criminals. This was the beginning of Muhammad's trail of violence, hatred and bloodshed that would
soon destroy the once flourishing culture of Arabia.
