We apologize to anyone who may be offended by the history of the founder of Islam (Muhammad) below. And we are aware of the sensitivities involved. However, infinitely more damage has been done to Islam's "believers" by Islam's history of withholding the truth about its founder to them -- - and the circumstances surrounding its inception -- than any "damage" this true history below can cause. This article is intended to warn Christians who may be "fooled" into Islam, because they did not have all the facts. The immortal souls of billions of individuals are involved here. To good Muslims I say; "I have sympathy with your having to grow up in a closed society -- where not embracing Islam would have gotten you shunned or even killed". According to many interpretations of the Qur'an (aka: Koran), conversion to a faith other than Islam is punishable by death.
The below information on the history of Muhammad and the history of Islam comes primarily from Muslim historians and the Qur'an (Koran) itself... Some of these sources used are:
The Qur'an itself calls the Gospel of Jesus "Guidance and Light" The biggest threat to Islam is without a doubt the teachings of the true "Prophet of Peace" Jesus Christ. Islamic leaders go to extraordinary means to hide the Gospel of Jesus from Muslims. The fact that Muslims do not read and study the New Testament/the Gospel of Jesus is yet another contradiction in Islam. Question the "dark side" - the Islamic Fear of Christianity. Just as Satan wails at a crucifix at an exorcism - the Islamic cult member normally wails at the sight of the Christian Bible. A false prophet can always be recognized, because he attacks the true prophet. A false Bible can be recognized, because it contradicts the true Bible. Islam goes one step further. First Islam tries to gain acceptance by attesting to the truth and validity of both the Christian and Jewish holy books. But, it then clearly steps out of the light, exposing itself to its diabolical agenda, by contradicting and falsifying the facts and teachings in both these books. Also, question the "dark side" of a Religion such as Islam that requires you to only recite prayers in a language (Arabic) you do not understand. This is what the warning means that Jesus left us with, when he said; "insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." See a graphic example of the Christian idea of Jesus as our mediator and one with the Father (same light and substance) in this true Near Death Experience here
Islam
claims that Allah is the same God who was revealed in the Bible.
. . . then if the Bible and the
Qur'an have differing views of God, then Islam's claim is false.
Don't forget that Muhammad claimed in Suras 2:87,
29:46, 32:23,
5:44, 6:154, 6:155 that Allah confirmed the
Torah (Taurat) and Christian Gospel (Injeel) (Sura
2:87,
5:46, 5:68,
29:46
and
43:63).
So, if the Torah and Gospel are correct, all the errors in the
Qur'an shown below make the Qur'an false.
Islam says that Jesus did not die. So, again --Islam has proven to be false; because Muhammad claimed the Gospel is true, and all 4 Gospels (Injeel) testify that Jesus died and rose from the dead. God does have a begotten Son (not made, but one with the Father), which Islam denies. The Jewish Torah/Taurat clearly indicated this over 1000 years before Muhammad and Islam. Even Satan says that Jesus died on the cross. Like Muhammad, Satan also cringes in fear at the sight of the cross. Read this true Exorcism here
Even after Allah confirmed the Torah and Gospel, Islamic Mullahs and Imams have tried to sell the lie that the Christian Gospels and Jewish Torah have been corrupted.
This a complete lie! This lie is perpetuated by Islam, because
of all the historic, scientific, and simple mathematical errors in the
Koran/Qur'an - as you'll see below... The Qur'an just doesn't add up.
Some versions of the Bible from 1881 differ in a few words here and there. However, the essential theological points remain the same and are complete. Bibles We recommend, that have not changed are:
The
Christian Bible predates Muhammad and Islam by 500 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.
Everything in the Christian/Jewish Bible is being authenticated
by archeology. Consider the
Babylonian cylinder inscription of Nabonidus (thought to be the
last king of Babylon) which commemorates the reconstruction of a
ziggurat at Ur by Nabonidus and records a prayer to Belshazzar
(Daniel 5) his son 'the firstborn son, the offspring of my
heart'. Not only does this prove that
Belshazzar was indeed a member of the Babylonian royal family,
which had long been disputed, but it also explains why Daniel is
told he could be the third ruler (with
Nabonidus and Belshazzar more or less acting as co-regents).
Zaid b. Thabit said: “The Prophet died and the Qur’an had not been assembled into a single place.” (p. 118, Ahmad b. `Ali b. Muhammad al `Asqalani, ibn Hajar, "Fath al Bari", 13 vols, Cairo, 1939/1348, volume 9, page 9)
Zuhri
reports, 'We have heard that many Qur'an passages were revealed
but that those who had memorized them fell in the Yemama
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.
As to the Taurat (Torah), 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. And copies of the Torah from around the world agree exactly. This same quality of transmission cannot be said of the Islamic Qur'an. The Islamic Qur'an was written down from 3rd and 4th hand accounts; and from a few thoughts written on scrap papers --and compiled over 150 years after Muhammad died in 632 A.D. The oldest Qur'an dates from around 790 A.D. (after Jesus), and it is in the British Library. That's 158 years after Muhammad’s death. See corrupted Qur'an here . Muslims often claim that the manuscript of the Qur'an housed in the Topkapi 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 al-Kufi) 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. The Samarkand (aka: Othman Koran) manuscript in the Soviet Library in Tashkent, Uzbekistan also uses the Kufic script, indicating late 8th century. Many believe it is the oldest in existence. Only About one-third 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, scraps found in Yemen differ and contradict today's Qur'an so badly, that Muslims try to hide this. These Yemeni Qur'an scraps are actually the oldest found, and it is Hijazi. Hijazi (Makkan or Madinan) script, is the script in which the earliest masahif of the Qur'an were written. So, your guess is as good as mine who in addition to Muhammad made up the Qur'an. Considering the complete absence of external and internal evidence that should effectively verify the revelatory character of the Qur'an, we find it very hard, if not impossible, to accept the Qur'an as a Message sent by God. This is particularly so, because the Qur'an contradicts earlier revelation, the evidence for the origin of which is given in Qur'an/Koran Suras below. Many Muslims Imams and Mullahs falsely point to Sura 2:140 to try and prove that Jews and Christians had corrupted their Scriptures. Referring to the Jews, this sura says; "...who is more unjust than those who conceal the testimony they have from Allah?...?" Yet, nowhere does this Sura state that the Jews and Christians corrupted their scriptures. Muslim clerics need to point to something because they know that the Jewish Torah and Christian Gospels badly contradict the Islamic Qur'an. The fact that Muhammad and Allah told Muslims to believe in the Torah and Christian Gospels is a very bad dilemma for these professionals who wish to continue making a good living in Islam. 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. As you can see from these verses below in the Qur'an (Koran), the Gospel of Jesus and the Jewish Torah are the divine Word of Allah, and Muhammad commanded the reading of the Holy Injeel (Gospel of Jesus) and the Torah (Taurat) as part of Islam.

Hear the first 6 Chapters of the Gospel of John in Arabic here (file name: john1_6a.mp3 / 22.1 mb file) Today may be the time to free yourself from that tyrannical yoke of living in a false religion which came about to glue together a group of robbers, murderers and opportunists. Your first step towards eternal salvation is no harder than to invite the only begotten Son of God into your heart as your Lord, Savior, and the one who has already paid for your sins Himself. ISLAM, LIKE SATAN - WANTS ONLY SLAVES.... Most Muslims do not realize that Islam allows no freedom. This alone should make them realize that it is Satan behind Islam, and not an eternal God. Satan wishes only to enslave Muslims to help him enslave the entire world. He does this by turning them away from the truth -- that salvation is yours already, if you only have faith in God's Son, Jesus. Islam is a religion based on intimidation and fear. The word "Islam" does not mean "peace." It means "submission." A Muslim is not allowed to leave Islam or else risk his or her life. At birth, a person is branded either Muslim or non-Muslim depending on one's descent. Among other things, the religion of Islam is a brain-washing religion, and that is why so many Muslims turn into crazy mindless zombies. The Muslims are required to pray 5 times a day in Arabic to a God who is not there, from the moment they embrace Islam; and when they do so they touch their head to the floor. That is one reason they get so brain-washed, this repetitive prayer. You can often spot fanatical Muslims by the marks on their foreheads resulting from this repetitive touching their head to the floor, where they may wack their head if they really get into it. As an example, take a look at the below image (and all others released) of Osama's Al Qaida second in command, Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri, who always gives an anti-U.S. rant; Dr. Ayman has this tell-tale bruise on his forehead from too much head-wacking.
Another example of this mindless zombie behavior you see in Muslims is the Shiite Muslim "holiday" of Ashoura, commemorating the death of Muhammad's grandson Husayn. Some Shiite Muslims stab themselves in the head on this "holiday", making a cut on their heads and beating the wound so it keeps bleeding. And the "bleeders" then walk around in groups yelling. And the cruelest and worst practice of Muslims is their practice of genital cutting (aka: FGC, Female Genital Cutting), genital mutilation, of young girls in Muslim countries. It has been estimated that approximately 2 million infants, young girls, and women are subjected to this painful and needless practice each year worldwide. FGC is typically done without anesthesia or antibiotics.
A symptom of enslavement: Islamic law encourages Muslims to proselytize (convert others). Islam, however, clearly forbids others to proselytize to Muslims. This is because hearing the truth as revealed in the Christian Bible would weaken this false path to God (Islam). About Muhammad himself: Muhammad was born in Mecca in the year 570 A.D. Muhammad's father was Abdallah, of the family of Hashim, who died soon after his son's birth. He was orphaned early in his life after his mother died and was raised by his uncle Abu-Talib beginning at age 6. At the age of nine the boy Muhammad mounted a camel and went on a merchandising expedition into Syria. While away from Arabia he saw the sacred places of the Jews. He stood on the spot where the King of Salem came out and did obeisance to Abraham. He was shown the place where his great mother, the bondwoman Hagar, went forth leading Ishmael by the hand. He saw Damascus, city of the desert, and Sinai, the mountain of the law. Then he returned to Mecca full of visions and dreams. His teen years were as a shepherd and an attendant of caravans. At the age of 20 Muhammad was hired by a wealthy woman named Khadija (or Khadeejah) to manage her late husband's caravan business. When Muhammad was 25 he married Khadija; six children were born to them, but only one survived to adulthood; his beloved daughter Fatima. While in the caravan business Muhammad happened to make many journeys to Syria and Palestine. During this time Muhammad became acquainted with both Jews and Christians. Later, the monk-like Muhammad would cause things to be written in the Koran about both Jewish and Christian history, which shows that Muhammad did not possess an intellect befitting a historian. It has also been thought that Muhammad could not read or write. In fact, the Qur'an says Muhammad was illiterate (Ummi) in Sura 7:157. These Qur'an (Koran) entries you will see below are marred with gross errors and inattention to detail.
Greatest False Teachings in the Qur'an: - The New Testament repeatedly declares that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that He was crucified and resurrected to both pay for our sins and to make possible our salvation, but the Qur'an expressly denies all these things. The Qur'an says Jesus was not crucified. (Sura 4:157-158). If you accept Islam, you forever reject Jesus and His substitional suffering and death for your sins on the cross. It is a decision that will effect where you spend eternity. The New Testament was written by people who walked with Jesus. Muhammad only heard about Jesus (called Isa in the Qur'an) six centuries later, and even what he heard he seems to have gotten confused. Jesus was not merely a Prophet Christians need to remember, Jesus Christ warned us that if you deny Him, He will deny you before the Father. Muslims falsely believe they have "this base" covered because they show reverence to Jesus as a "great Prophet" only. Sura 3.45: When the angels said: O Marium, surely Allah gives you good news with a Word from Him (of one) whose name is the '. Messiah, Isa (Jesus) son of Marium, worthy of regard in this world and the hereafter and of those who are made near (to Allah). You "deny" Jesus when you do not follow His teachings, such as He is the only way to the Father and salvation. You deny Jesus when you do not make Him the center of your life. Jesus of Nazareth is the Jewish Messiah foretold thousands of years before His arrival (see here) by numerous Prophets of God. Jesus led a sinless life. And only Jesus, the Son of the Father is the awaited Christ and mediator between you and the Father.
NEWS: Miracles in Iran Islamic Satanic Lies Islam is built on subtle lies which have been concocted by evil men in order to maintain cohesion and discipline within their robber band. Islam is the only religion that says that Jesus did not die on the cross. Islam denies this historical fact about Jesus which therefore negates the salvation given us by the Son of God's painful death and miraculous resurrection from the dead. Even the Jewish Sanhedrin (High Religious Court) in Jerusalem admits Jesus died there. In addition to the writers of the 4-Gospels and Josephus, the Jewish 1st century historian (See Antiquities 18-63) -- the Jewish Babylonian Talmud (Sanhedrin 43a) from the Tannaitic Period recorded: "On the eve of Passover Yeshu was hanged".... This means on a wooden cross. The Miracle Surrounding the Death of Jesus Also, A pagan historian by the name of Thallus, who lived shortly after the resurrection of Christ (about A.D. 52) wrote concerning a miraculous darkness that covered the earth at the Passover of A.D. 32 and attempted to explain it as an eclipse of the sun. Islam claims to be a religion of "the book" which would have one believe it is a continuance of that book God revealed to His Jewish Prophets. If it were, it would not deny what is in that "book", especially after confirming the authority of the Jewish Torah and Christian Gospels. If it were, it would know the name of the true God is not Allah, but Yahweh. See more about Mohammed found in the Bible Codes here. These matrixes say: "Mohammed Profanes My Holy Name" and "Mohammed, Blaspheming, Demon".
Words of Jesus Himself:

Christians were told in the Bible to be on-guard and that the Antichrist will not only just be a man who appears shortly before the Lord Jesus returns, but also a movement (Islam) which denies that Jesus of Nazareth is the Son of God. Islam is adamant in its denial of the deity of Jesus. It is easy to overlook, but followers of Islam place their eternal salvation entirely on the whimsical sayings of only one single man - the imperfect man Muhammad. Christianity and Judaism is heavily corroborated by many different prophets and apostles of God. Additionally, Christianity and Judaism abound with many, many miracles, all witnessed by throngs of people. Physical evidence such as 5,300 original manuscripts confirming the New Testament (Injeel) are still here to read. The fact of the matter is; not one individual or document can corroborate Muhammad's testimony.
As prophecies go, Muhammad simply made none!
The so-called "Prophet" of Islam lived an extremely sinful life of raping, plundering and murdering for profit. His entire purpose for the Qur'an (Koran) was simply to increase his personal self esteem, attain superior status, and for maintaining discipline and cohesion within his robber band. Symptomatic of the state of Muhammad's soul during his lifetime is the strikingly similar behavior regarding the cross that demons have demonstrated over and over.
Muhammad had a diabolical aversion
to the form of the cross.
More than eight hundred million human beings confess Islam, the religion Muhammad founded. There is no more militant movement on earth equal to Islam. No religion teaches hatred more than Islam. Jesus said; "many false prophets will rise up and deceive man." Islam has managed to turn billions of people away from the true Word of God, and not merely by its distraction of the truth. But also by its outright denial of the truth.
Jesus Never Spoke of Another true Prophet to Follow Him The Comforter Muslims often deliberately claim that Jesus spoke of Muhammad as that prophet who would follow him, or that Muhammad was the "Comforter" Jesus promised would come. The references Muslims vainly cling to about this are mentions of a comforter to follow Jesus in John chapters 14, 15, and 16. Both of these are more Islamic lies. Jesus did warn us that false prophets (Muhammad) with false Gospels (Qur'an) would follow Him, and try to deceive many. The Comforter Jesus spoke of was the Holy Spirit who filled the Apostles while they gathered together on Pentecost. While gathered together they all began speaking in foreign tongues. The Comforter/Holy Spirit also imparted the ways of God on Mary, the Apostles of Jesus, and about 120 other Disciples that day. Three thousand came into the Church that same day. Jesus' followers then immediately took Him seriously and they went out and began preaching the Gospel. The Comforter was NOT Muhammad. In John 14:26 the comforter is specifically identified as the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in the name of Jesus Christ. There is no mention of any Allah, Muhammad, or any prophet to follow Jesus in any Christian or Jewish Holy Books.
The Koran is without a doubt filled with many serious scientific, historical and theological errors. The Islamic Koran (Qur'an), unlike the Judeo-Christian Bible is written in a style that is deliberately misleading. The only joy Muslims find in reading of the Qur'an is that of its poetry and that they believe that it came from God. Nothing in the Qur'an will either save you from your sins or point you to eternal life. The Koran is written in an esoteric, mysterious and vague style. It is also written in a incorrect, arbitrary and haphazard order, as if the uninspired human - Muhammad died before putting it together correctly. The only book I know of that exceeds the Koran in deliberate tediousness, false claims, and incoherence is the Book of Mormon.
The
Qur'an is one man's ticket from mediocrity: Muhammad's early attempts to unite with Christians and Jews were not successful Because Muhammad thought the "People of the Book" (Jews & Christians) also claimed allegiance to this same God he invented, 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' " (Sura 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." Sura 29:46. 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". Sura 9:29 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, Muhammad's recitations regarding the "People of the Book" (both Jews and Christians) became more belligerent: "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; " (Sura 9:30); and (The difficulty with Sura 9:30 above is with Uzair/Ezra, is the fact that no historical evidence can be adduced to prove that any Jewish sect, however heterodox, ever subscribed to such a tenet. What grounds were there for the accusation? It is probably a figment of Mohammed's own imagination.) "O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people." (Sura 5:51). Are the following words what one might expect to hear from an all-knowing, benevolent deity? Or, are they the words one might expect from an Arab terrorist who needs to discipline his marauding troops today - and even in the 7th century (Muhammad)? - Sura 5.38 "And (as for) the man who steals and the woman who steals, cut off their hands as a punishment for what they have earned, an exemplary punishment from Allah; and Allah is Mighty, Wise." The true Word of God needs to be infallible! The Jewish and Christian Bible has been scrutinized and acknowledged to be without error by leading evangelical scholars over the centuries - as one would expect an inspired book from God to be. The Koran was written 500 years after the Christian Bible was completed. If it too is truly an inspired book from God, it too should measure up to be as infallible as the Jewish and Christian Bible. If you expect the Koran to be as internally consistent and as factually correct as the Jewish and Christian Bible is - you are wrong. A few examples follow: The Islamic Qur'an was edited Today the Islamic Qur'an (Koran) is made up of 114 chapters called Suras and then sub-divided into verses. In the days of Muhammad's wife A'isha, one chapter of the Koran (the Sura) had about 200 versus. Shortly after her death, this Sura had only 73 versus. Muslims say that 127 versus of the original text were lost and never found. Also, After the sudden death of Muhammad, Zaid-ibn-Thabith was ordered to compile and write down the Qur'an (Mishkat'ul Masabih). It is attested that at least three revelations were left out. One of these, according to Muhammad's wife, A'isha, with whom he resided at this death, was kept under their bed at the time of Muhammad's death, but was eaten by a domestic animal (a goat). When Uthman compiled the Qur'an, the missing verses could not be found. One of them was called the verse of Stoning, and is said to have contained the order to stone a man or woman who had committed adultery....This verse is said to have been part of the original Qur'an. Many early authorities say so, and what is very significant is that the first Caliphs punished adulterers by stoning; this is still the penalty prescribed in Muslim law-books, whereas the Qur'an (Sura 24:2) prescribed a hundred stripes." ("Islam" by A. Guillaume, p. 191). References: Musnad Ahmad bin Hanbal. vol. 6. page 269; Sunan Ibn Majah, page 626; Ibn Qutbah, Tawil Mukhtalafi 'l-Hadith (Cairo: Maktaba al-Kulliyat al-Azhariyya. 1966) page 310; As-Suyuti, ad-Durru 'l-Manthur, vol. 2. page 13: Another tradition states (Sahih Muslim, page 912, Mishkat II, page 534 and others): "Umar said: 'Verily Allah sent Muhammad with truth and revealed the Book to him. Out of the verses, the Almighty Allah revealed. there was the verse of stoning to death. The Messenger of Allah stoned to death (Sahih Muslim, page 920) and after him we also stoned to death: And in the BOOK OF GOD stoning to death is a truth against one, who commits adultery. The verse was thus: 'The old man and the old woman, if they have committed adultery, they stoned them both assuredly.' " This passage too, is not in the Qur'an. See other corruptions of the Qur'an here.
Ayatollah Khomeini,
an Iranian "butcher" gives us a clear insight into what awaits countries who fall to Islam's satanic grasp: "Killing is a form of mercy because it rectifies the person. Sometimes a person cannot be reformed unless he is cut up and burned. You must kill, burn and lock up those in opposition."
This shows how Muhammad made it up as he went along: "The canonical traditionists report that Sura 4:95 was dictated by the prophet to his amanuensis Zayd (Zaid) thus: 'Those believers who sit at home are not equal to those who fight in the way of God with their goods and their persons.' A blind man was present and heard the words. He immediately interjected that were he as other men he would certainly fight; whereupon Muhammad interposed the words 'except those who suffer from a grave impediment' which stand in the text today." ("Islam" by A. Guillaume, p.191). Before an authorized version of the Qur'an (Koran) was established under the Caliph Uthman there were four rival editions in use. These have long since disappeared, but we are told that they differed from the authorized version, some containing more and some less than the latter. When men who had learned one version came into conflict with those who possessed a rival version it was feared that scriptural exegesis (i.e. critical explanation or analysis) would pursue the course it had taken among Jews and Christians who at that time accused one another of corrupting and falsifying the sacred text. Uthman then entrusted a commission, in which Zayd took a prominent place, with the task of preparing a text which everyone must accept. Only the men of Kufa refused the new edition, and their version was certainly extant as late as A.D. 1000. Uthman's edition to this day remains the authoritative word of their God to Muslims. The Uthman collection tradition poses a difficult question: which Qur'an tradition is the more authentic, 1. the Hijazi tradition represented in the universally acknowledged text; 2. the Kufan tradition claiming descent from Abdullah ibn Mas'ud; 3. the Basran stemming from Abu Musa; or 4. the Syrian from Ubayy ibn Ka'b one of the scribes of Muhammad (or from Miqdad/? Mu'ad)? Differing readings of the Qur'an were known to Muhammad and he lacked the pedantry to object. More fickleness -- more making it up as he went along. "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 Sura of the Qur'an. Zaid taught me the same Sura 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). Scientific blunders in the Qur'an (Koran): 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:
The Qur'an teaches that the world is flat. This doctrine is believed by a great many Islamic scholars even today. The Jewish/Christian Bible revealed that the earth is round in Isaiah 40:22 and via Job (26:7). Speaking of God in Isaiah 40:22, the Jewish/Christian Bible says; "It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth". Job 26:7 says, "He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth on nothing".
- 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,
moreover, hath He extended (to a wide expanse);
and 18:47 (and you will see the
earth a leveled plain).
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",
Sura 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. ".
Why were stars created? In Sura 67:5
we read that the stars were created to be thrown at
devils (Shaitans).
The Jewish-Christian Bible is a journal-like record of creation, including of the earths initial conditions. It is obvious that only the Bible is both supernaturally accurate and inspired. The Bible correctly describes creation from the standpoint of astrophysics and geophysics. It also summarizes the sequence of changes through which the Earth came to be inhabited by fallen angels, living things (dinosaurs and the like), and ultimately by humans. The Bibles' order and its description of creation perfectly matches established records of nature. God's direction to Joshua and Israel to wipe out tribes already present in Israel was due to God's great love for humanity. Fallen angels had mixed with women and created a perverted race, many of whom were giants. God simply desired that this mixed half human/half fallen angel gene pool be weeded out from the human genes. God walks in many dimensions: Hebrews 11:3 speaks of a transcendent creation (from beyond our known dimension) when it states that the universe that we humans can measure and detect was made from that which we cannot measure or detect. At least 12 verses in the Bible makes a claim that the universe is being "stretched out", or expanding - which one would expect were there a "Big Bang" creation. Job 9:8, Isaiah 44:24 and 45:12 repeatedly say that it is God alone who is responsible for this cosmic "stretching". The Bible also holds the formula for "Pi", and more. See here. If the Qur'an is a true miracle of God - why is it so muddled with historical, scientific and other errors, including simple math? Wouldn't we expect an all-knowing Allah to be better student of history, science and math? If there is but one error in the Qur'an, how can it be inspired by God? Muhammad had obviously heard some Bible stories, but he seems to have got them confused and mixed up when it came out in his prophetic utterances. It is quite apparent that the Qur'an is simply the product of hearsay and imperfect editing from a plurality of traditions then known to Muhammad. The stories in the Qur'an relating to events described in the Bible contradict the Bible in many points. It is quite apparent that Muhammad took much of what he taught from the Samaritan Pentateuch and the Psalms. Muhammad shows no knowledge of their prophetic or historical writings, however. The formula "There is no God but the One" is an often recurring refrain in Samaritan liturgies. The similarity of the Muslim proclamation "There is no God but Allah" is very interesting. Also of note the opening chapter of the Qur'an is known as the Fatiha (meaning opening, or gate). The Samaritan's also have a prayer which is also considered a succinct confession of faith that begins with the words: "Amadti kamekha al fatah rahmekha". This means "I stand before thee at the gate of thy mercy". The Samaritan word for the opening or gate is "fatah". Historical errors in the Qur'an: You can verify these here at this online Qur'an.
The Historical, Scientific, simple mathematics and theological contradictions in the Qur'an are too numerous to list. Remember, since
Muhammad already proclaimed the Jewish Torah/ Christian Old Testament (Taurat) as correct in Qur'an
Suras 2:87,
3:48, 3:50,
5:44, 5:46; 5.68,
6:154, 6:155,
29:46,
32:23, 43:63, 46:12,
then the following gross errors that differ with the Torah
and Christian Gospels are inexcusable.
We have noted newer English translations of the Qur'an popping up on the internet which are deceitfully attempting to cover up many of the errors cited below. Double check with your older Qur'ans--you'll see. The world is aware that the Qur'an is made up of 114 chapters (suras), made up of 30 parts, 6,616 verses (ayas), 77,943 words, and 338,606 letters. So consider this as you try and fine tune it to rid it of errors. In Suras 2:87, 3:50, 5:44, 5:46 and 29:46 we are told that Muhammad is given the Qur'an as a confirmation of the Jewish/Christian Bible; that is - it is meant to prove the bible's authenticity.... In Sura 46:12 we are told.... "And before it the Book of Musa (Moses) was a guide and a mercy: and this is a Book verifying (it) in the Arabic language......"
Yet the
historical, scientific, and simple math errors in the Qur'an
that differ from the Jewish/Christian Bibles it
already confirmed are utterly careless, foolish and devoid of any touch of divinity, as you will see. Here are just a few notable errors in the Qur'an: - In Sura 2:249 Muhammad confuses the persons of Saul (Talut) and Gideon. See: Judges 7:4-7 - In Sura 26:54 the Israelites were said to be "a scanty band" (small band); vastly inferior to the Egyptians. But in Exodus 1:7-10 the Egyptian king said to his people that the Israelites had become "more and mightier than we". Exodus 1:9 speaks of the Hebrews as multitudes. - The Koran confused the sister of Moses by implication (Miriam) with Mary, the mother of Jesus 3 times. These two women actually lived about 1500 years apart. The entire Chapter 19 is devoted to Mary (Maryam) the mother of Jesus in the Qur'an. Sura 19:28, "O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste!" Sura 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. Sura 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, Sura
3:42,45 speaks about angels (plural) while it is only
one in Sura 19:17-21. 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 - 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, 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. - What about Noah's (Nuh) son? According to Sura 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 Sura 11:42-43 reports that Noah's son drowns. - Sura 7:59 and 7:136 say Noah's flood took place in Moses' day. Did anyone tell Moses that? - Sura 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) - Sura 9:30 mistakenly claims that the Jews believed that Ezra was the Son of God, the Messiah, just as Christians claim for Jesus. No Jews have ever believed this. - Sura 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? - Sura 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. - 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. - Sura 5:72, The Quran falsely teaches that Jesus is not the Messiah. The Holy Injeel says He is.
Muhammad never
understood the Trinity (Father / Son / Holy Spirit): To make things far worse. 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: To get a clearer idea of the Christian Concept of the Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) read this real Near Death Experience Testimony here and here. It shows that Jesus' light is one and the same as the Father's. And that only Jesus is our mediator with the Father. All (Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindu, etc) have sinned. So all require a mediator. - Suras 7:8–9 and 21:47 teach Muslims that salvation is determined by good Works. Masons also teach this erroneous and very harmful theology. The Gospel of Jesus is adamant that we are saved by Faith alone, and not by works (Ephesians 2:8–9). Granted, the Bible says we must do a few things to obtain salvation, like repent (Acts 2:38), confess Jesus (Romans 10:10), and be baptized (Acts 2:38), but it is our continuing faith in God that saves us. That is not to say we need not have works at all—we must have works to back up our faith (James 2:26). Nevertheless, we are not saved by our works, but by our faith and the grace of the Lord Jesus.
- Sura
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. - 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. - Sura 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. - Pharaoh drowned. (Sura 17:103, 28:40, 43:55). Pharaoh did not drown. (Sura 10:92). - The Qur'an says the Kabah in Mecca was build 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. Here are two "beauties": - Sura 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. Sura 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.
The Qur'an also incorrectly says
in Sura 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.
The Qur'an
also says; the Ka'bah (aka Kaba) was build by Adam and rebuilt by Abraham.
The truth is the Ka'bah
was built by pagan Meccans to worship a black rock that fell out of the sky.
Pieces of this meteorite are still there today.
Abraham never lived in Mecca.
Abraham lived in Hebron, Israel. Flip Flops: The origin of calamity? Is the evil in our life from Satan [Sura 38:41]; Ourselves [Sura 4:79]; or Allah [Sura 4:78]? Can slander of chaste women be forgiven? Yes [Sura 24:5], No [Sura 24:23]. Abrogation? "The words of the Lord are perfect in truth and justice; there is NONE who can change His words" (Sura 6:115). Also see Suras 6:34, 10:64, and 50:28,29. But then Allah (or Muhammad?) sees the need to exchange some of them for "better ones" (Suras 2:106, 16:101). And it is not for ignorant people to question Allah because of such practices! Let us Reason. How can a divine revelation be improved upon? If divine, would it not have been perfect from the start? 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 is false; because it contradicts Allah. - Consider the change of amount of days creation took, first from 6 days (Suras 7:54, 10:3, 11:7, and 25:59) and then it gets changed to 8 days (Suras 41:9-12). Is someone not playing with a full deck? - Allah can have a son. (Sura 39:4). Allah can't have a son. (Sura 6:101, and 25:2). - In Sura 19:19-22, the human Mary was told she would have an "immaculate conception," or be impregnated by Allah. Yet, Sura 6:100-101 denies that Allah could have a son or daughter through mortals. - Face Mecca while praying. (Sura 2:144). Face Jerusalem while praying. Apparently, Muhammad believed at first that God wanted him to pray facing Jerusalem and he did so for nearly 18 months - at least while he thought the he could convert the Jews to his religion. However, 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: 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. - Is Jesus a Prophet or not? Will Jesus burn in hell? In Sura 4:158 Jesus is raised to Allah, and in Sura 3:45 Jesus is stationed near Allah. Jesus is worshiped by billions of Christians. Yet Sura 21:98 says, that all that are worshiped by men besides Allah will burn in Hell together with those who worship them. - Did Jesus Die or Not? Sura 3:144 is quite adamant that all messengers died before Muhammad. But then Sura 4:158 claims that Jesus was raised to God (alive?) and 4:157 falsely says Jesus did not die. - In Sura 4:157 we read that Jesus certainly did not die, yet in Sura 19:33 we read that not only did he die, but he arose again! 19:33 reads about Jesus: "And peace be upon me the day I was born, the day I die, and the day I get resurrected." - What is the punishment for adultery? Sura 24:2 -Flogging with a 100 stripes (men and women); Sura 4:15 -"confine them to houses until death do claim them (lifelong house arrest - for the women); Sura 4:16 - For men: "If they repent and amend, leave them alone". Sura 24:2 contradicts both the procedure for women and men in Sura 4:15. And why is the punishment for women and men equal in Sura 24.2 but different in Sura 4:15? - In Sura 19:67, "But does not man call to mind that We created him before out of nothing?." In Sura 15:26, man is created from clay (We created man from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape;)." Since clay is something, we have a contradiction since "nothing" excludes the possibility of "clay." Didn't Allah have a Basic Education? - It just doesn't add up: Sura 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. - 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 eralier in Qur'an passages weren't we already told in that Abraham, his sons and Jacob were former Muslims (Sura 2:132), and that all the earlier prophets (Sura 28:52-53), and Jesus' Jewish disciples (Sura 3:52) were also Allah believing Muslims?. - Does Allah's day equal to 1,000 human years (Sura 22:47, 32:5) or 50,000 human years (Sura 70:4)? - Heaven and Earth created? Sura 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?. - To Intercede or Not To Intercede? The Qur'an makes contradictory statements about whether on the Day of Judgment intercession will be possible. No: in Suras: 2:122-123, 254; 6:51; 82:18-19; etc. Yes: in Suras: 20:109; 34:23; 43:86; 53:26; etc. Typically, with Qur'an errors; each position can be further supported/abrogated by a later Hadith. - Does Allah forgive shirk? Shirk can encompass any object that a person may hold in regard higher than Allah. It is the most severe of sins and will not be forgiven. But the author of the Qur'an seems unable to decide if Allah will ever forgive it or not. No in Suras 4:48 and 4:116; and Yes in Suras 4:153, 25:68-71. Another contradiction: According to Sura 6:76-78 Abraham committed this sin of polytheism as he takes moon, sun, stars to be his Lord. Yet Muslims believe that all prophets are without any sin! - In Sura 96:1-2 we read that God made man from a blood clot. But in Sura 21:30 it says man was made from water. And Sura 15:26 says man was made from clay. - According to Sura 10:90-92, Pharaoh believed "in the sight of death" and was saved. But Sura 4:18 says that such a thing can't happen because Pharaoh did not also repent. - Will Christians enter Paradise or go to Hell? Suras 2:62 and 5:69 say "Yes" to Paradise. Sura 5:72 (3 verses later) and Sura 3:85 say "No" to Paradise. - In Sura 2:234 widows are to keep themselves apart for 4 months and 10 days after their husband's death. In Sura 2:240 it is one year.
- Wine: Good or bad? Suras 5:90 and 2:219 - Strong drink and ... are only an infamy of Satan's handiwork. . Suras 47:15, and 83:22, 25 - Yet on the other hand in Paradise are rivers of wine. How does Satan's handiwork get into Paradise? Contrast these blunders in the Qur'an (Koran) showing this book is not inspired by God with this example of something really divinely inspired and accurate from the Jewish/Christian Bible:
According to Muhammad, Angels are the reason Roosters Crow, and Satan is why Donkeys bray!
Muslim, Book 023, Number 5007: Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported Allah's Messenger having said: Do not eat with your left hand, for the Satan eats with his left hand. Muslims deny that Jesus died on the Cross Muslims even deny that Jesus died on the cross; something that was faithfully reported in 4 Gospels. Consider the significance of the fact that no Jew or Roman alive at the time ever openly denied the Scriptural record of Jesus Christ's life, death, ministry or resurrection. Certainly, with the Christian "cult" growing so rapidly throughout the regions and even into nearby countries in those early days, anyone having evidence to contradict the Scriptural account would certainly have likely been compelled to present it publicly. Additionally, in the Jewish Babylonian Talmud (Sanhedrin 43a) from the Tannaitic Period it is recorded: "On the eve of Passover Yeshu was hanged"....
WHO IS ALLAH? Allah has pagan beginnings
When Muhammad was born in Mecca, each Arab tribe in Mecca had their own deity. There was a 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. During this time before Islam this stone was part of the shrine to worship of a chief male god (among over 350 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. 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 Assyrio-Babylonian gods En-lil and Marduk. It has the same meaning as Baal. The Arabic today translates the word Allah as "God". Muhammad's father's name was "Abd-Allah" (or slave of Allah). When Muhammad says there is only one god - Allah - now you have an idea what his background / thinking was.
Of note: in 1988, Salman Rushdie's novel "Satanic Verses" contained the above as the basis for that book. This book led Ayatollah Khomeni to offer a $3 million bounty on the India born Muslim Salman Rushdie.
But Salman Rushdie did not lie about Islam's early Satanic
beginning! He merely reported the truth.
On page 282 of the Commentary of the Jalalan, we read the same interpretation, and the Jalalan added,
In his book, "The Kash-shaf’, the Zamakh-shari (A.D.1144) (part 3, pages 164 and 165), asserts that,
In short, this Allah is not the God of the Jews or the Christians. Allah is in fact a Meccan Moon god idol. To confess that Allah is the same God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses is to deny Jehovah God (I Am), who is revealed in the Lord Jesus the Christ! The standard of judgment for the God of the Qur'an is that our good deeds (to Muslims only) must outweigh our bad deeds (Suras 7:8-9; 21:47); but the standard of the God of the Bible is nothing less than complete perfection as measured by the holy character of God (Matthew 5:48; Romans 3:23). Muslim activists in the West have been using the tactic of claiming that they worship the same god as the Christians in order to gain legitimacy and acceptance. They have been using the name "God" in place of "Allah" in many translations of the Qur'an. Satanic lie: Good deeds will get you to heaven. The wages of sin/any sin are death. Islam is very much a deeds-based religion where God is keeping score. For Muslims, good deeds go on one side of God's ledger, and bad deeds go on the other side. Islam says that on the day of resurrection, each person's ledger will be balanced. Assuming that all of the other basic qualifications were met during life (i.e., the 'Pillars of Islam'), if the person's good outweighs the bad: Paradise. If the bad outweighs the good: Hell. It's just that simple. NO Muslim ever knows if they are destined to rot in hell forever. Muhammad said he was unsure himself if he would go to heaven or hell. The real God has made it all simpler than this false deed-based system. But it requires you believe something with your whole heart. This may require you leaving your family and/or friends. But, your eternal life, and where you spend eternity demands it. You have to accept the Son of God's substitutional atonement of your sins.
More Islamic Editing of their Qur'an: In the Koran, Sura 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. 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 Sura 53:19-23). In fact, God does have a Son (begotten/not made). Proverbs 30:4 (written 700 B.C./1323 yrs before Muhammad): "Who hath ascended up into heaven or descended? Who hath gathered the wind in His fists? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the ends of the Earth? What is His name, and what is His son's name, if thou canst tell?" Read here to find out. Goodness & truth prevails Islam would have Christians and Jews believe that this pagan Allah who insists on world domination and death to non-believers -- and who is the same god who offers Muslim terrorist martyrs hedonistic sex with virgins in heaven - is the same Christian and Jewish "holy God of the Book". Christians and Jews think that this is blasphemy. Slavery is not a hallmark of the true God Most individual Muslims may respect and honor women, but Islam doesn't! This satanically-inspired Islamic religion has also managed to enslave women, which the true God would never be part of. If the husband wants to have sex with his wife he can, even by force - which in the west, and in Christian and Jewish tradition, is considered cruelty and rape. Under Egyptian law, Muslims are not allowed to change their religious identities to any other faith, although Christians are free to convert officially to Islam. The Koran (Qur'an) is the biggest enemy of civilization, liberty and truth that the world has ever known. Inherent in the Qur'an are polygamy, divorce, slavery, elevation of jihad as a sure way to heaven, hatred of non-believers, and even lying if it is gainful. Nothing in the Qur'an calls for a woman to wear a veil. But cruel Muslim mullahs, imams and ayatollah's insist a woman must wear a veil as a way to remove the female sex from its just position and influence in the world--itself a form of slavery. You may think this to be a small issue. You wouldn't if you were a woman and had to bundle up in 100 degree weather every day, just because of extreme male chauvinism.
The real Truth is that Jesus is waiting to take your burden, to save you, and give you eternal life!
Apostasy is punishable by death in Islam (from the Hadith):
A Muslim must not be killed if he kills a non-Muslim.
Allah perverts people? The picture of Allah as revealed by the Qur'an is quite different to the one of God revealed in both the Old and New Testaments.
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". Would a true and righteous God do this? According to the Qur'an (Koran): Muhammad adopted Zaid because Muhammad had no sons. Zaid married a stunningly beautiful woman named Zainab. Once when Muhammad was visiting Zaid's home he accidentally saw Zaibab 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. This Allah therefore desires lust and coveting a "neighbor's" wife. 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), and also a beautiful 17 year old Jewish girl (Safiyah) - one day after Muhammad had her family massacred. In the Jewish-Christian Bible Jewish Kings were chastised, disciplined and ostracized by the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob for this sort of coveting behavior that the Islamic Allah applauds. This behavior issue is another reason that Allah is not the One and true God. Wouldn't one expect the true Lord to insist on good Christian behavior?
Whereas,
Jehovah has provided eternal salvation and life to those who believe
in Jesus (Isa); because Jehovah's wrath has already been poured out
on Jesus, for the sins of those who trust and believe in Jesus... Echoes of Eden (The Lying): Would a True Prophet of God condone and actually permit lying, to further his own goals? Muhammad treated truth and deception according his own style of situational ethics. For example: Allah's Apostle said, "Who is willing to kill Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf who has hurt Allah and His Apostle?" Thereupon Muhammad bin Maslama got up saying, "O Allah's Apostle! Would you like that I kill him?" The Prophet said, "Yes," Muhammad bin Maslama said, "Then allow me to say a (false) thing (i.e. to deceive Kab). " The Prophet said, "You may say it." ... (Sahih al-Bukhari 5.369, cf. the article on Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf for further details) Muslim Doctrine of Taqiyya (or lying is ok): In the west very few people understand a very important doctrine of Islam called Taqiyya (Taqeya, Taqiya). Until we understand this in the west, we will never be able to deal with the Muslim world properly. Taqiyya roughly translates as lying for the faith. A Muslim may tell any lie when they are threatened. In short, a Muslim can lie as a holy duty to deceive and gain an advantage over the unbeliever. The non-prophet Muhammad sanctioned this when he said; “he who keeps secrets shall soon attain his objectives.” Can we imagine Jesus, Moses or Buddha saying “Hey lying is good!”? Is it any wonder that freemasons think the same way Muhammad does? Beware - Allah has not one attribute of love for Muslims: Muslim's and any others considering Islam should take care to note that the Allah they are praying to, has not one attribute of love. This should be a another sign to you that who you bow down to in Islam is really not whom the imams, mullahs and ayatollah's say he is. Look through the Qur'an - there is no attribute of unconditional love accorded Allah to his Muslims--but once (in Sura 20:390 Allah does unconditionally says he loves one man - the Hebrew Moses. The Qur'an does have words such as Allah is compassionate. But to whom? Certainly Allah was always compassionate to Muhammad, who stood behind all of Muhammad's escapades. In fact, Allah often changed his mind/teachings to suit Muhammad's schedule of plunder, murder and political intrigue. Allah was not compassionate to all those (arab poets, women with babies, Jews, Christians and other dissenters) Muhammad ordered to be ruthlessly murdered - simply because they stood up to him and his band of killers. This should be a yet another warning. When you hear hatred preached in your mosques realize who you really follow. Muhammad's "carrot" to ensure his world domination via Jihad: Will all Muslims go to Hell? According to Sura 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.
A symptom of evil (bait and switch). Except for Allah saying he loved the Jew/Hebrew Moses (in
Sura 20:39)
there is not one mention of Allah unconditionally loving man in the Qur'an (Koran); or providing a route to salvation. Can you be sure your time in Hell will not be an eternity? If you do not do Allah's bidding by doing terrorist acts -- what future awaits you as a Muslim? Muslims often say they honor Jesus as a great prophet. If they truly honored Jesus Muslims would believe what He (Jesus) said; "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16 "I and my Father are one." John 10:30 "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." 1 John 2:22, 23 The loving God made the Key to Life after Death simple: In the Christian Bible, in John 4:8 and 16 we read; "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, and have everlasting life." "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life." -John 5:24 Also, Jesus said this to those who follow Him: "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you." John 14:2. The God of the Jewish and Christian Bible is revealed as a faithful Father, the God of love, truth and justice. Jehovah, the God of the Christian-Jewish Bible is "too pure to look upon sin" and is "not willing that any should perish, but desires that all men come to a knowledge of the truth" (1 Timothy 2:4). The true Christian-Jewish God "has no pleasure in the death of a sinner" and according to the Bible even sent Jesus, His Son into the world to pay the price of our sins so that we could be forgiven, despite the just penalty of death that sinners such as you and I deserve. Your eternal Salvation depends on your seeing this: In the Koran there is listed 99 attributes of Allah. Except for Allah saying he loved the Jew/Hebrew Moses (in 20:39) there is not one mention of Allah unconditionally loving man in the Qur'an (Koran). Remember, it is quite clear in the Qur'an that
Muhammad and his Allah thought Moses lived at the time on Noah and that Jesus' mother Mary was Moses' and Aaron's sister. Let us reason. If a man had the character of Allah, as described in the Qur'an, no one in their right mind would want to do business with him! For Allah is apparently a god who misleads, perverts people, changes his mind and encourages polygamy, concubinage, wife-beating, slavery and "holy" war on the enemies of Islam. The more serious people are about following Allah and the Qur'an, the more social wreckage they will create both in the home and in the international arena.
Muhammad's Military History The below history of Muhammad is based on Islamic sources such as:
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Muhammad received the initial Qur'an in a Cave: 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 (see picture below). 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.
Muhammad & Allah Fickle? In Sura 2:100 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 Sura 10:65, "There is no changing in the Words of Allah," after this abrogation clause? Apparently then, the Qur'an teaches that some verses that Allah has brought down have been abrogated - that is, they are no longer binding or applicable. Apparently, Allah changed his mind about some of the verses he gave through his prophet. In this Allah is different to the God of the Bible, "with whom there is no shadow of turning" (James 1:17), who is "the Lord, who changeth not" (Malachi 3:6), whose Word "endureth forever". 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. This is a doctrine which is spurned by many Muslims who believe it reflects most unfavorably on the supposed textual perfection of the Qur'an. 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: Furthermore, this Muslim doctrine of abrogation extends so far as to dismiss all previous revelation, given in the Jewish-Christian Bibles. Thus Muslims see no problem in that the Qur'an has re-written biblical history with stories and historical accounts that contradict the Bible. To deal with the contradiction between the Bible and the Qur'an, Muslims throughout history have claimed that the Jews and Christians have corrupted their Bible so that the original Bible no longer exists. No matter what evidence for the truth and reliability of the Bible and Torah is provided, Muslims refuse to face the possibility of the truth of the present Bible as we know it. 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,
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,
Doesn't Allah walk in many dimensions
such as the Christian and Jewish God? If Allah did,
why can't he foresee the future? Why does Allah need
to abrogate (change his mind so much)?
The entire Sura is only 20 verses. Its beginning is abrogated by its end, and its end is replaced by the injunction of the five prayers; that is, the Abrogator has been abrogated. In relation to this verse the Jalalan say (p. 491),
It is obvious that Muhammad tended to be forgetful. This is shown in the above illustrations. In the Sahih of the Bukhari, (part 3, page 223, and part 8, page 91). The Bukhari repeats what Muhammad's child wife Aisha said,
So Muhammad sometimes used
to forget some verses and his friends had to remind him of them,
but whenever he did not find anybody to remind him, he claimed
that they had been abrogated. Allah (or Muhammad) claims the "people of the book" (Christians & Jews) have a book of divine revelation. Yet, most of the Qur'an contradicts the Christian/Jewish Bibles. Especially, Islam contradicts the revelation in the Gospels that Jesus is the only begotten Son of the Father; that Jesus died a a "korben" (sacrificial/substitutional) death for us; and that Jesus is the only way to salvation.

The historical Muhammad was in fact an ambitious terrorist, criminal and murderer - whose entire life was based on victimizing innocents and indulging in mindless violence, carnage and massacre. He was a man who destroyed peace wherever he went; and in its place brought terror, rapings, unmerciful butcheries, carnage and death - all the while invoking God's holy name to sanction his evil deeds.
The glue to keep his terrorist band together was his ordering of alms and prayers, and the receipt of timely "revelations" that always seemed to condom and to suit this non-prophet's activities at the time. Islam itself was welded together by
Muhammad, using his limited knowledge of both Christianity, Judaism, Samaritan and ancient Persian Zoroastrism. He even included certain Christian heresies in his doctrine. His hearsay knowledge of Christianity and Judaism resulted in
Muhammad's failure to get many historical facts correct. Some of these were discussed above.
In this day and age we would even consider Muhammad a 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. 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 her. In the first year of Muhammad's residence at Yathrib (now Medina) the "Prophet" who never prophesized, 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.
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.
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 next day a Walima (we
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.
Non-consent forced Marriages in Islam: What a disgraceful and degrading thing a temporary, contractual marriage is for a woman! This is something which Muhammad made lawful according to all the scholars and chroniclers without exception. What an insult to a woman whom Muhammad stripped of her humanity and dignity in order to become a mere instrument for man’s enjoyment! 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.”
Terrorist beginnings In the history below I simply am citing well know facts about the Koran, the Hadiths, the pre-Islamic history of Mecca, and what is claimed by the Muslims themselves to be known concerning the life and activities of Muhammad. 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. The story of Muhammad and Islam has been documented in detail by his Islamic biographers (see above). The documentation includes surprise raids by Muhammad and his Muslims on trade caravans and tribal settlements while Muhammad commanded. The use of plunder was thus obtained for recruiting an ever growing army of greedy desperados, and assassinations of opponents. They practiced blackmail, expulsion and massacre. Some of these so called “peaceful” campaigns documented were the massacre of the Jews of Medina, attack and enslavement of the Jews of Khayber, rape of women and children, sale of these victims after rape, trickery, treachery and bribery employed to their fullest extent to grow the numbers of his new Islamic religion which ironically was supposed to mean 'Peace'! Muhammad organized no less than 86 expeditions of rape, plunder and murder; 26 of which he led himself. The motives of the converts to Islam was never in any doubt. As David S. Margoliouth states in his book "Muhammad and the Rise of Islam": Islam became a good living, making its soldiers rich: 'Of any moralizing or demoralizing effect that Muhammad's teaching had upon his followers we cannot say with precision. When he was at the head of the Robber community, it is probable that the demoralizing influence began to be felt; it was then that men who had never broken an oath learnt that they might evade their obligations, and that men to whom the blood of their clan had been as their own, began to shed it with impunity in the 'cause of god'. And that lying and treachery in the cause of Islam received divine approval. It was then too that Muslims became distinguished by the obscenity of their language. It was then too, that the coveting of goods and wives possessed by Non-Muslims was avowed without discouragement from the Prophet....' Muhammad justified his crimes with divine revelation: The details of all his criminal onslaughts in the form of battles and assassinations are chronicled in this article in a chronological manner. One should note that every time the 'Apostle of Peace' committed one of his criminal onslaughts, he always justified the crimes by quickly claiming a 'divine revelation' which conveniently removed the blame from his bloodied hands. These convenient Suras are detailed immediately below the description of the incident. 1) Massacre of unarmed merchants during sacred month 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! 2) 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.
This successive 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:
**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. 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 Sura 8:67 conveniently sanctioned these assassinations: "It is not for any prophet to have captives until he hath made slaughter in the land." This Sura 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. 3) 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!' This shows us exactly how much the tolerant and peace loving Prophet respected life. Muslims claim that Muhammad was extremely gentle and loved children. Indeed the horrifying way he had Asma Bint Marwan's five infants slaughtered certainly attests to this 'loving' side of the "Prophet". 4) 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 Sura 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 Here Muhammad's acts of planned terrorism against the Jewish Tribe is justified by Allah, because according to the 'Merciful' Allah, Non-Muslims are the worst of BEASTS! So it is perfectly all right to murder, rape, torture and pillage the non-believers! Not only that but Allah is advising Muhammad and the Muslims that when anyone protests against the injustices committed by Muslims, the Muslims should make sure and deal with them with such violence, that it will strike fear among anyone who may think of supporting dissent. This proves that the Koran is nothing but a political manual for controlling people with terror. Not even the fascist armies of Hitler engineered such devilish ideas. The above are just a few of the incidents that demonstrate the intolerant and merciless nature of the inhuman acts committed by Muhammad and the Muslims. It was Muhammad that started the fighting by attacking the Meccan caravans during a time that attacks were traditional forgone between enemies in that area. When Muslims state that 'there is no God but Allah' and 'Muhammad is the final Prophet', they are insulting every other religion. The spread of Islam Islam works in much the same way as satanically-inspired communism, which is by subversive means. Islam has spread worldwide since its inception mostly by the sword and intimidation. Islamic Laws are very clear - Jews and Christians have no rights whatsoever to independent existence. They can live under Islamic rule provided they keep to the rules that Islam promulgates for them. 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. On the other hand, Christianity would try to eradicate these practices, and because of this, the people were more receptive to Islam, except in some parts of Indonesia.
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.
Have all those countless billions of souls who have followed the Qur'an been deceived by a demon pretending to be God?
Barbarians (Muslims) at the Gates - the satanic coveting - the personal slavery Barbarians, as the great 14th-century Arab historian-philosopher Ibn Khaldun observed, have no purpose except destruction of civilized life. According to the Islamic historian Muhammad Ibn al-Rawandi; Islam is an invention for the purpose of providing a religious justification for Arab imperialism. The Conquest is the reason and explanation for Islam, not the other way around. Muslims have always coveted their neighbors goods, wives and property. It is no different today. Palestinians covet Israel which was Deeded to the Jews by God. Arabs have always coveted Israel, and in the Christian Gospel, they will never get their way there. India, and many other countries around the world, were raped, pillaged, and plundered by Islam. And today it is the Islamic nations which threaten world peace.
Muslims do not hesitate to criticize 'non-believers', but then become very upset when non-believers criticize Islam. Religious freedom and freedom of speech is a two-edged sword which cuts both ways. The American freedom of speech (to criticize) and freedom of religion are deeply cherished and exercised by Americans, but such concepts of freedom are unknown and incomprehensible in Islamic societies. From 1970-2000, there were 43,721 terrorist attacks worldwide. 113, 425 people were killed. Over 82,126 injured. Over 90% of these barbaric acts were committed by Muslims.
Jesus Christ was Foretold in the Garden of Eden, foretold in the Psalms around 1000 BC, and many many more times via the prophets from 400-700 BC. See:
over 360 prophecies
A Sacrifice for us Was Necessary: But the grace of the Holy Spirit and the Lord Jesus Christ is given to Christians, Jews, Muslims and Hindus alike. But they must truly ask for it. It does not come without Faith.
Islam offers no way to salvation. A Muslim can never be sure their good deeds outweigh their bad deeds enough for eternal life. Jesus promises those who believe that He is the Son of God who took away our sins will live forever.

Josephus (born in Jerusalem 37 A.D.) the First Century Jewish General, Traitor, and excellent historian wrote the following about Jesus in his Antiquities (18:63), while writing for the Romans:
About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he was one who wrought surprising feats and was a teacher of such people as accept the truth gladly. He won over many Jews and many of the Greeks. He was the Messiah. When Pilate, upon hearing him accused by men of the highest standing among us, had condemned him to be crucified, those who had in the first place come to love him did not cease. On the third day he appeared to them restored to life. For the prophets of God had prophesied these and myriads of other marvellous things about him. And the tribe of the Christians, so called after him, has still up to now, not disappeared.
Second, in Book 20 there is what could be called a passing reference to Jesus in a paragraph describing the murder of Jesus' brother, James, at the hands of Ananus, the High Priest.

If you have any doubt that the Lord Jesus Himself is leading the
way and is seeking out worthy believers in Muslim countries --you
won't after reading this book of true miracles.
This is a MUST READ if you are a Muslim
who has ever wondered why Allah insists that you pray, not in
your native language; or why your prayers with Allah always seem
to be empty, pointless and one-way. Come out to freedom, and
leave all these meaningless rituals behind. Stop
misdirecting your sweet and worthy prayers to a deity who simply
is not either alive, or there. Order here |
