Is Qur'an word of GOD...

The Qur’an, (Koran) meaning recitation, is the sacred book of Islam. According to Muslim tradition, it was revealed by God to the Prophet Muhammad in separate revelations over the major portion of his life at Mecca and at Medina. The Qur'an was
probably compiled as a single volume under the third caliph, Uthman, who appointed
a committee (651-52). The internal organization of the Qur'an is somewhat ad hoc.
Revelations consisted of verses (ayat) grouped into 114 chapters (surah, plural -
suwar).


This is what Qur'an says in its English Translation introduction, lets see how much words is from Allah. This question is beyond any doubt that Qur'an itself proves that some verse contained in it is from Muhammad, and if Qur'an contains a single alphabet of Muhammad, it means it has to rejected as it altered by a mere man.

(Koran 4:82)
Do they not consider the Qur'an (with care)?Had it been from other than Allah, they would surely have found therein much discrepancy.

According to the Muslims the Koran contains the words of God. Koran is to be read as if God Himself had spoken these words stated in it. It is important to emphasize this point because if Koran is the word of God then it should not contain any errors and it should hold true for all times. However, such is not the case.First, we will see how some of the verses in the Koran itself show clearly that these words were obviously spoken by Mohammed and Not God.

The Opening Sura Fatihah:

(Koran 1:1-7)
In the name of the Merciful and Compassionate God.
Praise belongs to God,The Lord of the worlds, the merciful, the compassionate, the ruler of the day of the day of judgement! Thee we serve and Thee we ask for aid. Guide us in the right path,the path of those Thou art gracious to;not to those Thou art wroth with, nor of those who err.


Someone need not be a rocket-scientist to comprehend that these words are clearly addressed to God, in the form of a prayer. They are Mohammed's words of parise to God, asking for God's help and guidance. Some Muslim compilers conveniently add the imperative "say" in the English translation of the Koran at the beginning of the sura to remove this difficulty. This imperative form of the word "say" occurs at least 350 times in the Koran, and its obvious that this word has, in fact,been inserted by later compilers of the Koran to remove countless similarly embarrassing difficulties. Thus, we have direct evidence that the Koran starts out with the words of Mohammed.

(Koran 113:1)
I take refuge with the Lord of the Dawn. One can clearly see, its Mohammed and NOT GOD HIMSELF who is seeking refuge in God.


(Koran 6:104)
Now have come to you, from your Lord, proofs (To open your eyes): If any will see, it will be for (the good of) his own soul; If any will be blind, it will be to his own (harm): I am not (here) To watch over your doings.


In this verse the speaker of the line "I am not to watch over your doings"- is clearly Mohammed. In fact Dawood in his translation adds a footnote that the "I" refers to Mohammed here.

(Koran 27:91)
For me, I have been commanded to serve the Lord of this city, Him Who has sanctified it and to whom (Belong) all things; and I am commanded to be of those who bow in Islam to Allah's Will


Again, the speaker here is clearly Mohammed who is trying to justify killing of innocent Meccans who were not willing to follow Mohammed's version of God. Dawood and Pickthall both interpolate "say" at the beginning of the sentence which is lacking in the original Arabic version of the sura.

(Koran 81:15)
So veriy I call To witness the planets that recede...
Again, here it is Mohammed and NOT God who is swearing by the turning planets.


(Koran 84:16-19)
I swear by the afterglow of sunset, and by the night,and by the moon when she is at the full.

Once again it is Mohammed and NOT God. He is unable to disguise his pagan heritage. He swears again in the name of the Sun and Moon, both of which were considered as holy deities by Pre-Islamic Arabs.

(Koran 6:114)
Should I seek other judge than God, when it is He who has sent down to you, the distinguishing book (Koran)?


Any sane person can comprehend that those words are not spoken by God but Mohammed himself.Yusuf Ali in his translation adds at the beginning of the sentence "say", which is not there in the original Arabic and he does so without comment or footnote.

Grammatical Errors in Qur'an...

Grammatical Errors in Qur'an...

Muslims believe that Allah revealed a book to each of Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus."But the Book of the prophet Abraham was lost.The Books of David (the Psalms), Moses (the Torah),and Jesus (the Gospel) were changed."

Muslims do believe that the Qur'an is a literary miracle and that it is unmatched among any other literature. It is not a human masterpiece but a divine miracle, where
every letter and dot was revealed from heaven, with no difference between what was
revealed and what we have in our hands. Muslims claim the Qur'an not just to be a human literary masterpiece, but a divine literary miracle. But this claim does not square with the facts. For the Qur'an which we have in our hands contains obvious grammatical errors which is plain to see for all who know Arabic.



The First Error

In 5:69
"Surely they that believe, and those of Jewry, and the Sabaeans, and the Christians, whosoever believes in God and the Last Day, and works righteousness - no fear shall be on them, neither shall they sorrow." (Arberry)


"Innal-laziina 'aamanuu wal-laziina haaduu was-Saabi'uuna wan-Nasaaraa man 'aamana bilaahi wal-Yawmil-'Aakhiri wa 'amila saali-hanfalaa khaw-fun 'alay-him wa laa hum yah-zanuun."

There is a grammatical error in the above verse. The word Saabi'uuna has been
declined wrongly.In two other verses, the same word, in exactly the same grammatical setting was declined correctly.


2:62 "Innal-laziina 'aamanuu wal-laziina haaduu wan-Nasaaraa was-Saabi'iina
..."

22:17 "Innal-laziina 'aamanuu wal-laziina haaduu was-Saabi'iina wan-
Nasaaraa ..."



You notice that the word was written Saabi'uuna in 5:69 and was written Saabi'iina in2:62 and 22:17. In the last two verses the word was declined correctly because the word inna in the beginning of the sentence causes a form of declension called "nasb" (as in cases of accusative or subjunctive) and the "yeh" is the "sign of nasb". But the word Saabi'uuna in 5:69 was given the 'uu, waw which is the sign of "raf'a" (as in cases of nominative or indicative). This then is an obvious grammatical error.


The Second Error

In 4:162
"But those of them that are firmly rooted in knowledge, and the believers believing in what has been sent down to thee, and what was sent down before thee, that perform the prayer and pay the alms, and those who believe in God and the Last Day - them We shall surely give a mighty wage." (Arberry)

"Laakinir-Raasi-khuuna fil-'ilmi minhum wal-Mu'-minuuna yu'-minuuna bimaaa
'unzila 'ilayka wa maaa 'unzila min-qablika wal-muqiimiin as-Salaata wal mu'-tuunaz-Zakaata wal-Mu'-mi-nuuna billaahi wal-Yawmil-'Aakhir: 'ulaaa 'ika sanu'-tii-him 'ajran 'aziimaa."



The word muqiimiin should be muqiimuun. The word should be declined by the "raf'a sign" like the other nouns in the sentence. Indeed the two nouns before it (Raasikhuun and Mu'-minuun), and the noun after it (mu' tuun) are declined correctly. Some have argued that this word was declined as such to distinguish and praise the act of praying, but the scholar Ibn al Khatib says that this is a sick reasoning. (al-Furqan by Mohammad M. 'abd al-Latif Ibn al-Katib, Dar al-Kutub al-'elmiyah, Beirut, p.43).

Such reasoning defies logic. Why would one distinguishe prayer which is a branch of
religion, and not faith which is the fundamental and root of religion? Besides can this logic apply to the error of declension in the previous verse? Do we conclude that the Saabi'iin are more distinguished than those who believe, and the People of the Book?And why do they get distinguished in one verse and not the other as we have seen? God is much higher than this sick logic. This again is an obvious grammatical error.

The Third Error

In 20:63
"They communed secretly saying, 'These two men are sorcerers'." (Arberry)

"Qaaluuu inna haazaani la-saahiraani ..."

The word haazaani should be haazayn. The word haazaani was declined incorrectly because the word inna in the beginning of the nominal sentence causes a form of declension called "nasb" to the nominative and the "yeh" is the "sign of nasb". This is the third grammatical error.

The Fourth Error

In 2:177
"It is not piety, that you turn your faces to the East and to the West. True piety
is this: to believe in God, and the Last Day ... to give of one's substance ... and
to ransom the slave, to perform the prayer, to pay the alms. And they who fulfil their covenant ... and endure with fortitude." (Arberry)


"Laysal-birra 'an-tuwalluu wujuuhakum qibalal-Mashriqi wal-Maghrib wa laakinnal-birra man 'aamana billaahi wal-Yawmil-'Akhiri wal-malaaa-'ikati wal-Kitaabi wan-nabiyyiin: wa 'aatal-maala 'alaa hubbihii zawilqurbaa walyataamaa wal-masaakiina wabnas-sabiili was-saaa-'iliina wa fir-riqaab: wa'aqaamas-Salaata wa 'aataz-Zakaata; wal-muufuuna bi'ahdihim 'izaa 'aahaduu was-Saabiriina fil-ba'-saaa'i wazzarraaa-'i ..."

In the above verse there are five gramatical errors. In four of them the wrong tense
was used, as the sentence begins in the present tense with the verb tuwalluu, while the other four verbs were written in the past tense:
'aaman should be tu'minuu;
'aata shoud be tu'tuu;
'aqaama should be tuqimuu;
'aata shoud be tu'tuu.

The above verse when translated into English as it appears in Arabic would be: "It is
not righteousness that ye turn your faces to the East and the West; but righteousness
is he who believed in Allah and the Last day and the angels and the Book and the Prophets; and gave his wealth, ... and performed prayer and paid the alms." But the English translators have observed the tense, and the verbs "believed", "gave", "performed", and "paid" were corrected and written in the present tense. (For example see Arberry, Pickthall, Yusuf Ali and Rodwell's translations).


The fifth error is the wrong declension of the word saabiriina. It should be declined saabiruuna like the preceeding word muufuuna.

Muhammad's perfect memory

Today in internet world I find many articles by Islamic Fanatics that Qur'an is the perfect book and is preserved by Allah. Lets see what Qur'an and Hadith says about this claim..

In Qur'an Chapter 87 verse 6-7 says:- Soon We shall make you recite Our revelations so you shall forget none of them[6] except what Allah wills. Surely He knows what is open and what is hidden.[7]

About this verse Tafsir Abbas comments:- [87:6] (We shall make thee read (O Muhammad)) We shall teach, O Muhammad, the Qur'an; it is also said this means: Gabriel shall read to you the Qur'an (so that thou shalt not forget [87:7] Save that which Allah willeth) and Allah willed that you do not forget; and the Prophet (pbuh) never forgot a bit of the Qur'an after this. (Lo! He knoweth the disclosed) He knows the works that are done and the words that are said in the open (and that which still is hidden) of secrets which you have thought about in yourself;

As per this verse, Allah claims that Muhammad will not forget a single verse,except Allah wills. Further, as per the commentary Allah willed that Muhammad do not forget..

Now, we will see Hadiths disapproves this claim in many records:-

Bukhari Volume 6.6.556: Narrated Aisha: The Prophet heard a man reciting the Qur'an in the mosque and said, "May Allah bestow His Mercy on him, as he has reminded me of such−and−such Verses of such a Surah." Its crystal clear from above Hadith that Muhammad himself accepted that he forgot the verse revealed by Gabriel to him. At that time no written Qur'an was available.

Further in the same Hadith it says:- 6.557: Narrated Hisham: (The same Hadith as 6.556, adding): which I missed (modifying the Verses).

I think Qur'an and Hadith itself refutes the claim that Qur'an is a perfect book and is preserved by Allah. There are many more authentic reports which proves that Muhammad did not had perfect memory and neither Qur'an was completely collected( documented ).

Sahih Muslim Bk 4, Number 1720: 'A'isha reported that the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) heard a person reciting the Qur'an at night. Upon this he said: May Allah show mercy to him; he has reminded me of such and such a verse which I had missed in such and such a surah.

Muhammad disapproves these claims of Islamic Extremists in his own words..

In Sunan Abu Dawood Book 3, Number 1018: Narrated Mu'awiyah ibn Khudayj: One day the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) prayed and gave the salutation while a rak'ah of the prayer remained to be offered. A man went to him and said: You forgot to offer one rak'ah of prayer. Then he returned and entered the mosque and ordered Bilal (to utter the Iqamah). He uttered the Iqamah for prayer. He then led the people in one rak'ah of prayer. I stated it to the people. They asked me: Do you know who he was? I said: No, but I can recognise him if I see him. Then the man passed by me, I said: It is he. The people said: This is Talhah ibn Ubaydullah.

Now, we can imagine how perfect book was Qur'an, the prophet of Islam himself forgot the book revealed to him. Islamist fanatics are disapproved by the Narcissist, pedophilia prophet..

Tolerance towars others

In this article we will see what Allah commands his followers regarding tolerance of other religions except Islam. The self proclaimed prophet Muhammad taught hatred and violence towards other and still his followers proclaim that they are the most peaceful religion in face of earth.
Some verses from Holy Qur'an and Hadith clears this misconception of the so called tolerance towards others and presents the true and real face of Islam..

Qur'an 9:71 "O Prophet, strive hard [fighting] against the unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and be harsh with them. Their abode is Hell, an evil refuge indeed."

Qur'an 8:59 "The infidels should not think that they can get away from us. Prepare against them whatever arms and weaponry you can muster so that you may terrorize them."

Verse from Ch8:59 reveals the intentions of the holy Prophet of Islam,he wanted to terrorize all the infidels..

Qur'an 4:168 "Those who reject [Islamic] Faith, Allah will not forgive them nor guide them to any path except the way to Hell, to dwell therein forever. And this to Allah is easy."

It is quite clear that the above mentioned verse is not revealed in context of self defense or for holy war as some extremists claim, but rather it is clearly describing whom Allah will punish. Its for those who reject the faith or is a non-Muslim in simple terms..

Qur'an 4:114 "He who disobeys the Apostle after guidance has been revealed will burn in Hell."

Quran is full of hatred and intolerance towards each and every faith, and still claims to be as the most peaceful religion of this world..

Qur'an 33:64 "Verily Allah has cursed the Unbelievers [whom he defines as Christians in the 5th surah] and has prepared for them a Blazing Fire to dwell in forever. No protector will they find, nor savior. That Day their faces will be turned upside down in the Fire. They will say: 'Woe to us! We should have obeyed Allah and obeyed the Messenger!' 'Our Lord! Give them double torment and curse them with a very great Curse!'"
*
Here, Allah is punishing his early revealed religion,and cursing them. Christians will be the dwellers of hell forever,despite of being sent by the same god just 600 years before Islam and Quran. Why Allah changed his mind in just 600 years? Was knowledge of Allah incomplete or he forgot his early revealed religion?

Bukhari:V1B11N617 "I would order someone to collect firewood and another to lead prayer. Then I would burn the houses of men who did not present themselves at the compulsory prayer and prostration."

Imagine this activity of the maniac and narcissist prophet who ordered to burn houses of those,who did not present themselves at the compulsory prayers...

Blood Lies in Root Of Islam

Terrorism
Bukhari:V4B52N220 "Allah's Apostle said, 'I have been made victorious with
terror.'"

Qur'an:8:12 "I shall terrorize the infidels. So wound their bodies and
incapacitate them because they oppose Allah and His
Apostle."

Qur'an:8:57 "If you gain mastery over them in battle, inflict such a
defeat as would terrorize them, so that they would learn
a lesson and be warned."

Ishaq:326 "If you come upon them, deal so forcibly as to terrify
those who would follow, that they may be warned. Make
a severe example of them by terrorizing Allah's
enemies."

Qur'an:8:67 "It is not fitting for any prophet to have prisoners until
he has made a great slaughter in the land."

Ishaq:588 "When the Apostle descends on your land none of your
people will be left when he leaves."

Tabari IX:42 "We have been dealt a situation from which there is no
escape. You have seen what Muhammad has done.
Arabs have submitted to him and we do not have the
strength to fight. You know that no herd is safe from
him. And no one even dares go outside for fear of being
terrorized."

Ishaq:326 "Allah said, 'No Prophet before Muhammad took booty
from his enemy nor prisoners for ransom.' Muhammad
said, 'I was made victorious with terror. The earth was
made a place for me to clean. I was given the most
powerful words. Booty was made lawful for me. I was
given the power to intercede. These five privileges were
awarded to no prophet before me.'"

Ishaq:327 "Allah said, 'A prophet must slaughter before collecting
captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land.
Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its
goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah
desires killing them to manifest the religion.'"

Qur'an:7:3 "Little do you remember My warning. How many towns
have We destroyed as a raid by night? Our punishment
took them suddenly while they slept for their afternoon
rest. Our terror came to them; Our punishment overtook
them."

Ishaq:510 "When the Apostle looked down on Khaybar he told his
Companions, 'O Allah, Lord of the Devils and what into
terror they throw, and Lord of the winds and what they
winnow, we ask Thee for the booty of this town and its
people. Forward in the name of Allah.' He used to say
this of every town he raided."

Bukhari:V5B59N512 "The Prophet offered the Fajr Prayer [Prayer of Fear]
near Khaybar when it was still dark. He said, 'Allahu-
Akbar!' [Allah is Greatest] Khaybar is destroyed, for
whenever we approach a hostile nation to fight, then evil
will be the morning for those who have been warned.'
Then the inhabitants came out running on their roads.
The Prophet had their men killed; their children and
woman were taken as captives."

Bukhari:V9B87N127 "The Prophet said, 'I have been given the keys of
eloquent speech and given victory with terror.'"

Ishaq:517 "Khaybar was stormed by the Apostle's squadron, fully
armed, powerful and strong. It brought certain
humiliation with Muslim men in its midst. We attacked
and they met their doom. Muhammad conquered the
Jews in fighting that day as they opened their eyes to our
dust."

Tabari VIII:116

Ishaq:511
"So Muhammad began seizing their herds and their
property bit by bit. He conquered home by home. The
Messenger took some people captive, including Safiyah
and her two cousins. The Prophet chose Safiyah for
himself."

Bukhari:V5B59N512 "The Prophet had their men killed, their children and
woman taken captive."

Tabari VIII:129 "After the Messenger had finished with the Khaybar
Jews, Allah cast terror into the hearts of the Jews in
Fadak when they received news of what Allah had
brought upon Khaybar. Fadak became the exclusive
property of Allah's Messenger."

Tabari VIII:133 "The raiding party went to Tha'labah. One of
Muhammad's slaves, said, 'Prophet, I know where
Tha'labah can be taken by surprise.' So Muhammad sent
him with 130 men. They raided the town and drove off
camels and sheep, bringing them back to Medina."



Tabari VIII:138 "Muhammad carried arms, helmets, and spears. He led a
hundred horses, appointing Bahir to be in charge of the
weapons and Maslamah to be in charge of the horses.
When the Quraysh received word of this, it frightened
them."



Qur'an:33:26 "Allah made the Jews leave their homes by terrorizing
them so that you killed some and made many captive.
And He made you inherit their lands, their homes, and
their wealth. He gave you a country you had not
traversed before."

Qur'an:59:2 "It was Allah who drove the [Jewish] People of the
Book from their homes and into exile. They refused to
believe and imagined that their strongholds would
protect them against Allah. But Allah came at them from
where they did not suspect, and filled their hearts with
terror. Their homes were destroyed. So learn a lesson, O
men who have eyes. This is My warning...they shall
taste the torment of Fire."

Qur'an:33:60 "Truly, if the Hypocrites stir up sedition, if the agitators
in the City do not desist, We shall urge you to go against
them and set you over them. Then they will not be able
to stay as your neighbors for any length of time. They
shall have a curse on them. Whenever they are found,
they shall be seized and slain without mercy - a fierce
slaughter - murdered, a horrible murdering."



Tabari VIII:143 "In this year a twenty-four man raiding party led by
Shuja went to the Banu Amir. He launched a raid on
them and took camels and sheep. The shares of booty
came to fifteen camels for each man. Also a raid led by
Amr went to Dhat. He set out with fifteen men. He
encountered a large force whom he summoned to Islam.
They refused to respond so he killed all of them."



Bukhari:V4B52N256 "The Prophet passed by and was asked whether it was
permissible to attack infidels at night with the
probability of exposing their women and children to
danger. The Prophet replied, 'Their women and children
are from them.'"

Tabari IX:20 "The captives of Hunayn, along with their possessions,
were brought to the Messenger. He ordered that their
captives, animals, and their possessions be taken to
Ji'ranah and held there in custody."

Ishaq:576 "Allah and His servant overwhelmed every coward.
Allah honored us and made our religion victorious. We
were glorified and destroyed them all. Allah humiliated
them in the worship of Satan. By what our Apostle
recites from the Book and by our swift horses, I liked the
punishment the infidels received. Killing them was
sweeter than drink. We galloped among them panting
for the spoil. With our loud-voiced army, the Apostle's
squadron advanced into the fray."

Ishaq:580 "Our strong warriors obey his orders to the letter. By us
Allah's religion is undeniably strong. You would think
when our horses gallop with bits in their mouths that the
sounds of demons are among them. The day we trod
down the unbelievers there was no deviation or turning
from the Apostle's order. During the battle the people
heard our exhortations to fight and the smashing of
skulls by swords that sent heads flying. We severed
necks with a warrior's blow. Often we have left the slain
cut to pieces and a widow crying alas over her mutilated
husband. 'Tis Allah, not man we seek to please."

Tabari IX:122 "Muhammad sent Uyaynah to raid The Banu Anbar.
They killed some people and took others captive. Asma
was one of the women taken prisoner."

Tabari IX:123 "Muhammad sent an expedition to Ghalib and to the
land of the Banu Murrah. The raid on Amr and Abi was
sent to the valley of Idam. Another by Aslami was sent
to Ghabah. And Abd al-Rahman was ordered by the
Messenger to lead an army to the seashore."

Tabari IX:69 "He who believes in Allah and His Messenger has
protected his life and possessions from us. As for those
who disbelieve, we will fight them forever in the Cause
of Allah. Killing them is a small matter to us."
