The Prophet said, ‘If I take an oath and later find something else better than that, then I do what is better and expiate my oath.’
Bukhari:V7B67N427
I do what is better and expiate my oath.
There was no Islam | Submission prior to Muhammad. Allegedly a 7th-century Arab from Mecca, although more likely a Jew from Petra, the non-prophet claimed to be the Messenger of God. The first fleeting images of the emerging religion were incomprehensible, indeed ignorant and horrifying. By Muhammad’s own admission, he was demon-possessed and nearly died during his initial encounter with a viciously oppressive spirit. He even tried committing suicide, but sadly failed.
At the time, Muhammad was in a cave, practicing pagan religious rites. The first words allegedly pronounced by this terrorizing overlord were strange in that they ordered an illiterate man to qara’ | read. When he protested that he was unable, the spirit pummeled him, nearly beating the life out of him, only to repeat the demand. And without handing him anything to read, he was told that the Pen had written that the Lord created man from a coagulated clot of blood. This was wrong on all accounts.
In a way, Islam’s horrible beginning was similar to Paul’s demonic encounter on the road to Damascus. There, he was incapacitated and blinded by a spirit who cited a religious line from a pagan play. And like Muhammad, Paul also confessed that he had been demon-possessed and was controlled by Satan. The world’s most popular 222religions were off to inauspicious beginnings. And so, it is astonishing that anyone believed either of them. Their lives were as corrupt and worthless as their words.
Initially, Muhammad claimed that his revelations came directly from a nameless Lord – as was the case in his initial and exceedingly bizarre experience. Over time, his spirit fiend became known as Ar-Rachman – a Yemenite deity. It would be a decade into Muhammad’s new career before his god became known as Allah, although it would be written al-Lahi, al-Lahu, and al-Laha.
The inspirational experience, should we ascribe it this much credit, was described by Muhammad to be like a bell, clanging in his head, causing him to shake and sweat profusely. These rather nasty experiences continued, he said, until he was able to decipher the meaning behind the clanging. Muslims believe the resulting Quran is “God’s” revelation to mankind through his final and most important “prophet.”
Contradicting himself, Muhammad would later admit that it wasn’t Allah who spoke to him but, instead, Gibril | Gabriel. However, that is impossible because the name Gabry’el is comprised of gibowr, which speaks of a highly courageous and competent man. To this, ‘el | God, was added. As such, Gabry’el / Gibril cannot be a mal’ak | spiritual messenger since he is the most Competent and Courageous Man of God – in other words, Dowd | David.
No matter which of these conflicting versions is preferred – a clanging bell, nameless Lord, Yemenite deity, Arab rock god, Gabry’el, or rabbis reciting Talmud stories, Muhammad was obviously lying through his teeth. And in that he was making it up as he went along, unlike Moseh, Dowd, or Yasha’yah, Muhammad was unable to offer any evidence to corroborate his symphonic inspiration. People take or leave the incomprehensible and contradictory mess of the Quran solely on his word.
223According to legend, Muhammad, who was admittedly illiterate, acted alone in the collection of auditory pronouncements, which one must assume were recited from a book allegedly written before the universe was created. But how did a book exist prior to matter? If it was the blueprint for creation, why is it focused on a malcontent and minutia? Why is the opening statement regarding human existence false? Why does this billion-year-old book incorporate Talmud passages which were written in 500 CE? Why is it wrong scientifically and to the point of utter stupidity? And why go backward from a written record to oral recitals among illiterate people?
If the Quran was written by the Pen before universal genesis why does the author change his mind and then contradict himself? Were there no editors? Why does the revealing spirit change his name midstream? Why, if this is to be perceived as an eternal document for all people, does it begin and remain focused on a single individual’s lust for sex, power, and money in a place so insignificant its location remains inconclusive? Why is the narrative myopic and transpires from beginning to end over twenty-two years and then does not provide any prophecy pertaining to future events? Why, if this was written billions of years ago, is it so jumbled, without context or chronology?
If the Quranic spirit wanted humanity to trust one man with a revelation of such potential providence, why did the twisted spirit choose a sexual deviant and psychopath? And speaking of the undeserving, why, if we are to believe that Allah was Yahowah and that he somehow revealed the Towrah and Prophets through Jews and regarding Jews, does the Quran change to Arabs and then order them to annihilate Jews?
Oh, I’m sorry, we were given an answer to that one. The Jews were turned into apes and swine, becoming 224demons, because they changed the accounts which were perfectly preserved. Mystery solved.
As another point of curiosity, how was the Quran written in Arabic billions of years before written Arabic was conceived in the 7th century CE? Why, if the spirit wanted to reveal his book, the book of books, was it recited to an illiterate nincompoop? Why was the oldest copy filled with thousands of grammatical mistakes and omissions if it came from God? If we are to believe that the Creator authored the worst book ever written, what does that say about the pinnacle of His creation – humankind?
There are no intelligent answers to any of these questions, much less all of them. And without cogent explanations, there is no reason to believe anything this reprehensible human who was directly responsible for 9/11 and 10/7 said, much less walk around in a tent or play terrorist on his account.
This is in complete contrast to the Towrah and Prophets, where literate men and women told a consistent story over ten centuries. Yahowah’s prophets were not only held to an exacting standard – which was 100% accuracy historically and prophetically, they told the entire story from universal genesis to the end of the world as we know it. Within that 15-billion-year presentation, there is also the six-thousand-year story of neshamah-man – humans with a conscience.
In spite of the overwhelming evidence of fraud, nearly two billion people live in nations controlled by Islamic principles. Thus, to the unthinking, Muhammad was a rousing success. Yet these very same nations are among the world’s most destitute, least free, and most violent. And they are the fountain of terror, providing the money, men, motive, and means for murder. In that light, Muhammad’s legacy is considerably more tarnished.
225There were no miracles to prove Muhammad’s claim of being a godly conduit. And there are no fulfilled prophecies, like the exacting and detailed predictions that Yahowah’s prophets routinely made to demonstrate their Divine authority. Just the opposite exists in the Quran where the writing quality and content are so deplorable, and so much of it is scientifically and historically inaccurate, contradictory and plagiarized, the resulting jumble of self-indulgence demonstrates that it was the product of an uneducated and psychotic individual.
The most troubling aspect of the absolute reliance on Muhammad’s insistence that he and his Quran were divinely inspired is that his character was as deplorable as his god’s, equally immoral and despicable. He was the antithesis of Moseh | Moses, Shamuw’el | Samuel, or Dowd | David. And unlike Yasha’yah | Isaiah who delivered many hundreds of exacting prophecies which have been fulfilled, there are none to be found in the Quran.
That’s not flattering, but it’s the only rational conclusion that can be drawn from the original source material. According to the Quran and Sunnah, Muhammad founded Islam to satiate his own cravings – something overtly admitted in the 8th Surah – The Spoils of War. Muhammad imposed his will through terrorist raids – funding his indulgence while suppressing resistance. In time, I will identify and quote thousands of verses from the Islamic scriptures to prove this, but for now, I want you to be an informed skeptic – one with a global view of Muhammad and his caustic creation.
But rest assured, I will present all that can be known of the life and words of one of the most corrupt and uncivilized individuals in human history. In so doing, you will discover that there is nothing redeeming about him or the religion he imposed.
226Therefore, these introductory summaries are designed to serve as a handrail in what is otherwise a journey into the insanity of Muhammad’s mind and disjointed realm. As we move through his utterly moronic retelling of Genesis and convoluted recasting of the Towrah’s patriarchs as if they were Muslims in Arabia, you will need this perspective to appreciate his motives and agenda.
Over the course of these pages, you’ll discover that the non-prophet’s “ministry” was filled with troubling episodes. Following his first Quranic revelation, Muhammad claimed to have been demon-possessed. By his own admission, he tried to commit suicide. It was his aging wife who convinced him to stop embarrassing himself and claim that he was God’s messenger man.
Those who knew him best, his family and neighbors, said that he had gone mad. “He is a demon-possessed sorcerer fabricating scripture,” they said, accusing him of plagiarism and of having purely selfish motives. His neighbors mocked his claims, ridiculed his emerging Quran, and said that his preposterous notion of turning many pagan idols into the one God was insane. As a result of this verbal abuse, all chronicled in the Quran, Muhammad pledged to slaughter his kin so that his god could roast them in the Hell-Fires.
Then, in the midst of the Never-Ending Argument, Muhammad threatened to slaughter everyone. To appease the psychopath, the Quraysh proposed the Pagan Indulgence, whereby Muhammad’s kin proved that he was promoting Islam | Submission to garner what he craved: power, sex, and money. The Satanic Verses that followed, revealed that the non-prophet was inspired by Satan and demon-possessed – in addition to announcing the inspiration behind the Quran. This led to Muhammad’s hallucinogenic Night’s Journey to the nonexistent Temple in an unspecified city, which is now assumed to be Jerusalem. That was embarrassing and confirmed that he 227could not be trusted. This flight of fancy was followed by the Pledge of Aqabah, where Islam turned away from religion and declared war on all mankind.
Ninety Quran surahs were revealed during this period in Petra. They opened with a score that mirrored the style and content of Hanif poetry, which was originally composed by Zayd, a contemporary of Muhammad in what is today Yemen. He was an Arab convert to Judaism among the Sabaeans.
Over these unproductive initial ten years, the non-prophet’s clanging spirit was initially called the “Lord” – which is Satan’s name and title according to Yahowah. When we’re finally introduced, we learn that the Islamic god’s name was Ar-Rahman with numerous suras devoted to him under that moniker. He, however, was a dark and demented spirit, one who spent his days in hell torturing Muhammad’s rivals. He was ever ready to shackle anyone who challenged the assertion that he was God so that he could drag them to their doom.
In these surahs, we find Rahman participating in hell’s torments. It is revealed that he turned men on a spit over a fire. He would tear them apart after forcing them to eat thorns, pitch, and boiling water. His paradise was then presented as a brothel. Its rivers flowed with wine as multiple virgins, both young boys and girls, satiated the carnal desires of Muhammad’s supporters. And all the while as one would expect of such a charlatan, Muhammad and his god, the Lord Rahman, speak with one voice.
Muhammad’s contemporaries, the Beni Hashim and Beni Quraysh tribes in Petra, thought he was nuts. As evidence of this, the Quran contains over 400 iterations of the Never-Ending Argument between Muhammad and his relatives and neighbors. Those who knew him best called him a fraud. They charged him with the very offenses the Quran and Hadith confirmed he was guilty of perpetrating.
228Then, demonstrating the immaturity and lack of self-control of a malcontent schoolyard bully, the Quran viciously attacks Muhammad’s relatives. The voice of the Quran slanders those who knew Muhammad personally with an exhaustive list of hateful slurs. Then the non-prophet’s personal deity threatens them with a painful doom. It is all as transparent as it is pathetic.
When I first read the Quran, I was surprised to find the endless regurgitation of spiteful attacks. It was all so immature and pointless. The community shouted: “Muhammad, you are an insane, demon-possessed sorcerer, forging the Quran.” Muhammad had his god respond: “My Messenger is not insane, nor is he demon-possessed.”
I found this perplexing. Why didn’t some enterprising scribe edit these incriminating charges out before codifying the Quran? Then I realized that without the raging feud, there was no justification for the scripture’s single most repetitive rant: If you disobey Muhammad or disbelieve that Allah is God, Muslims will kill you and then you’ll be tortured forevermore in Hell.
I recognize that this is the antithesis of what you expected to see during the formative years of a ‘great religion.’ And yet, the evidence – the only evidence in this case – is irrefutable. The Quran takes us into a demented and violent realm. It is comprised of pilfered and perverted Towrah stories held together by childish rants. Paradise and hell are both decadent and disgusting, wholly satanic rather than divine. And the Sunnah, which professes to be inspired scripture, is no better. Stroke by stroke, they present an ugly picture of man and demon.
Working together, Muhammad and Satan elevated the religion of submission in Yathrib, today’s Medina, taking it to new heights as a terrorist manifesto. While he failed as a prophet, Muhammad excelled as a warlord, sexual 229libertine, mass murderer, slaver, and terrorist. He used his Quran to justify his horrific behavior: including pedophilia, incest, rape, torture, assassinations, thievery, and torture – all in an unbridled orgy of sex, power, and money. This summation reflects the portrayal documented in the Islamic Sunnah and confirmed in the Quran.
When he was fifty, Muhammad ‘married’ a six-year-old child. Then he stole his foster son’s wife. After forcing women to watch his men execute their fathers, husbands, and children, Muhammad raped them. He tortured his victims to make sure no booty escaped his grasp. He slaughtered Jews in genocidal rage.
During the first ten years of the ‘Islamic Era,’ Muhammad ordered a score of assassinations, mostly directed at those we would consider journalists, all while conducting seventy-five terrorist raids – one every seven months. He used the sword to force Arabs into submission and used the slave trade to finance the religion.
Muhammad was more interested in collecting young girls and new taxes than anything else. He ruled through fear. And his god condoned it all.
This harsh portrayal does not represent my interpretation of the most negative Islamic scriptures or even a view derived from some jaundiced document crafted by an enemy of the religion. It is the only authentic picture; it is the original.
By combining the Quran and Hadith, you’ll see Muhammad embarrass himself and deceive his compatriots – all with his god’s blessing. This portrait of the non-prophet and his un-god was painted by the first Muslims. One does not have to cull out the bad from the good to render this verdict. It’s really hard to find anything good in their words or deeds.
To provide some objectivity to this startling reality, recognize that nothing is known about Muhammad and his 230creation, Islam, apart from five books. They represent the only surviving written records scribed within 250 years of the non-prophet’s life. They, and only they, represent fundamental Islam. Any statement not derived from these sources is conjecture, speculation, and opinion.
To affirm the validity of this conclusion regarding the nature of these Islamic scriptures, I want to combine what the Islamic scholars said in the preface to the most revered Hadith Collection with what others wrote on the opening page of the Quran. Regarding the Sunnah…
“Sahih Bukhari is a Collection of sayings and deeds of Prophet Muhammad, also known as the Sunnah. The reports of the Prophet’s sayings and deeds are called Hadith. Bukhari lived a couple of centuries after the Prophet’s death and collected his Hadith. Each report in his Collection was checked for compatibility with the Quran, and the veracity of the chain of reporters, or isnad, had to be established.”
Regarding the sayings which comprise the recital...
“The Quran is one leg of two which form the basis of Islam. The second leg is the Sunnah of the Prophet. What makes the Quran different from the Sunnah is its form. Unlike the Sunnah, the Quran is quite literally the Word of Allah, whereas the Sunnah [which is comprised exclusively of Hadith] was inspired by Allah but the wording and actions are the Prophet’s.
The Quran has not been expressed using any human words. Its wording is letter for letter fixed by Allah. Prophet Muhammad was the final Messenger of Allah to humanity, and therefore the Quran is the last Message which Allah has sent to us. Its predecessors such as the Torah, Psalms, and Gospels have all been superseded.”
The most respected Islamic scholars tell Muslims that the “Quran is literally the word of Allah” and that the “Sunnah was inspired by Allah.” And while neither statement is true, they have to say this because there are hundreds of commands in the Quran ordering Muslims to obey Muhammad, to believe in him, and to follow his 231example. Since the Quran is supposed to be “Allah” speaking, the only way to obey Muhammad, to believe in and follow him, is to know what he said and did. The Hadith represents the sole repository of these words and deeds. So, despite all evidence to the contrary, Muslims believe what you are going to read from the Quran and Hadith is divinely inspired scripture directly from Allah.
The preponderance of Muhammad’s verbal diarrhea is presented in God Damn Religion. To provide some perspective on the scope of the coverage you should know that the Quran, formatted like this book, would be 200 pages. Pared of its redundancy, it would be a quarter of that length. I will cite and analyze nearly ninety percent of that material.
Turning to the Sunnah, the Hadith in Bukhari’s Collection comprise some 800 pages of Muhammadisms. The majority are duplicated several times in various sections. Most have multiple lines of transmitters, or isnads, for virtually identical Traditions. Further, half of Bukhari’s Collection includes laws, procedures, or meaningless anecdotes that fall outside the scope of this study. Without this redundant and extraneous material, there are fifty pages of prime and pertinent reports. I’ll present fifty percent of this directly and reveal thirty percent indirectly through redundancy in Ishaq and Tabari.
Much of Muslim’s work is duplicated in Bukhari. He has some unique Traditions, though, and many important insights into the nature of Jihad. Wherever we can glean fresh information from Imam Muslim, we will.
The events presented by Tabari, the first Islamic historian, mirror those contained in Ishaq’s biographical account. There’s a seventy percent overlap in their coverage of Muhammad’s life and the formation of Islam. Devoid of this overlap, extraneous poetry, and footnotes, their combined 1,500 pages of Islamic Traditions over the 232period we will be studying could be distilled to 250 pages of Hadith not memorialized elsewhere. I will quote from eighty percent of these, as they provide the most valuable insights into Islam’s formation and Muhammad’s life.
Ishaq’s biography and Tabari’s history are comprised in their entirety of Hadith. They are Sunnah and thus Islamic scripture. Their Hadith feature chains of reporters, and they are in sync with other Collections and with the Quran. The sole difference is the arrangement. Ishaq and Tabari chose Hadith that could be presented in the order they occurred because they purport to be historical and biographical.
So that you are acquainted with the importance of these collections regarding Muhammad, without Ishaq and Tabari, Islam would not exist as Muhammad would be unknown. They alone provide the rites and structure of the religion, its context and chronology. Without this grounding in place and time, the Quran is meaningless, and the remaining Hadith are of diminished value.
It would be like trying to be a Christian without the Gospels. The non-prophet becomes nothing more than a myth. The Tabari translators tell us: “Muhammad Ibn Ishaq was the most influential and earliest biographer of the Prophet. His Sira became the standard treatment of the events of Muhammad’s life.” However, as was the case with the Quran, Ishaq collected these oral reports an entire century after Muhammad is alleged to have spoken them.
The four generations of oral transmission that followed Ishaq’s collection could have done nothing but degrade the material. And even worse for Islam’s credibility, Ishaq’s original text was destroyed because, quite frankly, it destroys Islam. All we have of it today was edited by Hisham sixty-five years later. And Hisham said:
233Ishaq:691 “I am omitting things which Ishaq recorded in this book. I have omitted things which are disgraceful to discuss and matters which would distress certain people.”
The closer one gets to the truth, the more despicable Muhammad appears, and the more appalling Islam becomes. It is little more than a virulent and deadly plague initiated by a Snake wanting to be God.
That is why Tabari is essential. It is evident that he had a copy of Ishaq’s Sirat Rasul Allah when he composed his history of Islam’s formation – albeit redacted by Hisham. Rather than editing the resulting Sira, he referenced Ishaq each time his Hadith shed additional light on any subject – especially Islamic creation and the Satanic Verses.
By the time we have completed this review, you will know much more about Muhammad and fundamental Islam than most Muslims. And you will understand the non-prophet and his false god better than most scholars and clerics. You will see Muhammad as he saw himself. His motives and agenda will be as transparent as his methods and means. Islam will no longer be a mystery. The only conundrum that will remain is why anyone believed what you are going to read.
Unfortunately for Islam, not only were Muhammad’s sources mostly of Jewish origin, apart from the Never-Ending Arguments with his own tribe, Beni Hashim | Sons of the Name (in Hebrew), almost all of the Quranic characters come from the Hebrew bible. Moreover, since Beni Hashim is a Hebrew name, this means that they were related at one point to Yahuwdym | Jews. Therefore, Muhammad and his kin were likely Jewish.
Affirming this, he was allegedly born in Yathrib, where 75% of the inhabitants were Jews. Even the Quraysh tribe (from the Hebrew qeresh | to splinter off) was an offshoot of the Beni Hashim | Sons of the Name.
234Muhammad aside, there are only four non-Biblical characters in the Quran. Two represent mythical leaders of fabled lands. The third was Muhammad’s biggest critic, his uncle, Abu Lahab. The fourth was Alexander the Great – a Muslim prophet, according to Allah. And he is quite the adventurer in the Quran because his travels take him to the extraterrestrials who lived in the muddy spring where the sun goes to bed at night. But not to worry, because, as a good Muslim, the Greek megalomaniac preached Islam to the sunbaked aliens. I kid you not.
While all the other names are similar, and based upon amateurish transliterations of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, Jacob, Joshua, Lot, Moses, Aaron, Jonah, David, Solomon, Gabriel, and Satan, their stories are dissimilar. The detailed historical events surrounding these lives so meticulously described by Jewish prophets were purposefully convoluted – ripped out of context and time to justify Muhammad’s and Allah’s thinly disguised agendas. And yet, without the inclusion of Jewish characters and stories, the Quran and Hadith would be very thin on spirituality. We would be left with little more than temper tantrums, threats, and terror.
While the Christian New Testament is considerably more credible than the Quran, Muhammad wasn’t aware that it was uninspired. So, once he had overhunted Jews in Arabia and started targeting the Byzantines, the final surahs of the Quran mock Christianity. But he makes a mess of it by referring to the misnomer “Jesus” as ‘Iesa – which appears to be a transliteration of Esau.
This begs the question: was Allah being protective of the myth of Jesus Christ that he helped conceive through Paul, or simply playing Muslims for fools? With his constant endorsement of the mythology attributed to “‘Iesa, son of Maryam,” it is as if the Adversary wanted both religions to prevail because they served his agenda in different ways.
235As for the gross variance between the Torah and the Quran, a thousand years after the fact, Muhammad and his cadre of false gods claimed that the forty literate Jews who lived and witnessed these events and recorded the prophecies got them wrong. We are to believe that Muhammad’s variations, all of which modeled events in his life, were correct.
Indeed, Muhammad claimed that he, an illiterate and ignorant man living outside Israel, six to twenty-six centuries after the fact, revealed the “truthful” account, having corrected the changes Jews had authored. In an ignorant world, it must have sounded plausible.
It is interesting, however, that when Muhammad tried to explain how these gross deceptions crept into the original text, he blamed it on the Jews who had familiarized him with these Talmud stories. Little did he know that they had written records dating ten centuries before his time – proving that the only things that had changed were Muhammad’s twisted renditions.
The non-prophet’s task became increasingly more difficult for Muslims because his god said in Quran 080.011-16 that the Hebrew text was in good hands…
Quran 080.011-16 “Nay, lo, it a Reminder. So whosoever wills may remember it, in leaves honored, exalted, purified, in hands of scribes, noble and obedient.”
That being the case, his absurd variations cannot be accurate. Compounding Allah’s problem, however, in Quran 005.013, Allah said the exact opposite. If he was telling the truth then, he is lying now.
Quran 005.013 “So for their breaking (of) their covenant We cursed them and We made their hearts hard. They change and distort the words from their places and forget a part of what they were reminded of it. And you will continually discover treachery from them, with the exception of a few of them.”
236The following Hadith attempts to explain Muhammad’s untenable position. It comes from Bukhari’s Book of Hiring, Volume 3, Book 36, Number 471. It can also be found in The Noble Quran attached to Quran 041.046.
Bukhari:V3B36N471 “The Prophet said, ‘The example of the Jews, Christians, and Muslims is like the example of a man who employed [Jewish] laborers to work for him from morning till night for specific wages. They worked till midday and then said, “We do not need your money which you have fixed for us and let whatever we have done be annulled.”
The man said, “Don't quit, complete the rest and take your full wages.” But they refused and went away. The man employed another batch after them and said [to the Christians], “Complete the rest and yours will be the wages I had fixed for the first batch.” So they worked till the time of Asr (afternoon) prayer.
Then they said, “Let what we have done be annulled and keep the wages you have promised.” The man said, “Complete the rest of the work, as only a little remains,” but they refused. Thereafter, he employed others [Muslims this time] and they worked till sunset. They received the wages of the two former batches. So, they represented the example of the Jews and Christians, and then Muslims who accepted Islam, the Quran, and Sunnah which the Prophet brought.’”
Recognizing this wasn’t a very good explanation, and knowing that the story was a twisted rip off of a Christian parable, the Islamic scholars who translated the passage added this footnote…
“The Jews refused to believe in the Message of Jesus, so all their work was annulled. Similarly, the Christians refused to accept the Message of Muhammad and thus their work was annulled too. Such people were not rewarded, because they refused true faith and died unbelievers. They should have accepted the latest Message. Their insistence on keeping their old religion deprived them of any reward. On the other hand, Muslims accepted the new religion and believed in all three Messages. They deserved a full reward for their complete surrender to Allah.”
237Unfortunately for Muslims, this scenario is impossible. How is one to believe “all three Messages” when they are radically different? It is like believing that 2+2=4, -13, and .19 at the same time.
Should you not know, Paul’s letters within the Christian New Testament contradict and seek to annul the Torah. And the Quran is the antithesis of both the Torah and the New Testament.
Equally concerning, if either the Hebrew prophets or the Greek text were a true message, what would have been the justification for a new religion? And as difficult as these questions are, the most troubling still lingers: how and when did the Torah and Prophets get corrupted?
The fact is, they didn’t. The Dead Sea Scrolls serve as irrefutable proof that nothing of substance has been changed. These scrolls were copied from much older texts ten centuries before the Quran’s existence and they are of astonishing fidelity. Therefore, the extant evidence predating Islam by a millennium proves that Allah’s fanciful variations of the accounts of the Hebrew patriarchs are fictitious. But alas, the religious are seldom rational, so it does not seem to matter.
Nonetheless, this is the crux of the issue. If the testimony of the Hebrew prophets, men like Moseh, Shamuw’el, Dowd, Yasha’yah, Yirma’yah, and Zakaryah, wasn’t corrupted in a massive and conspiratorial fashion, Islam can’t be trusted. Correcting the Torah, setting the record straight, and returning to the true religion were central Quranic themes. And since the Dead Sea Scrolls demonstrate that the Hebrew text was not garbled, Islam loses its justification and the cornerstone of this terrorist manifesto crumbles.
To believe that Allah was right and Yahowah’s prophets were wrong, one has to dismiss the fact that most of the Quran’s stories and characters were lifted from 238Jewish oral traditions in the Talmud. Additionally, the Median surahs affirm that Muhammad had to pay Jews for access to their rabbinical accounts during the formation of his religion.
Quran 002.040 “O Children of Israel, remember My favor which I bestowed on you and fulfill My bargain. I will fulfill your Covenant, so fear Me, and Me alone.
Quran 002.041 And believe in what I have revealed, confirming that which is with you. Be not the first to deny and disbelieve of it. And do not exchange My verses for a token price. Me alone, fear!”
Don’t sell Talmud stories to Muhammad – give them to him. And pretend I inspired it. Then, do not complain when he bastardizes those accounts and claims I inspired what you had written and recited to him. Should you deny me and disbelieve, you will rue the day.
There are a dozen more verses like this, all designed to demean Jews for charging Muhammad for Talmud stories when he needed more scripture to call his own. And they all ring true. Not only is this the only rational explanation for so many Talmudic interpretations of the Towrah wa Naby’ appearing so ubiquitous throughout the Quran once Muhammad entered the Jewish community of Yathrib, it explains why Muhammad turned on them and sought to silence and kill them. Moreover, rabbis have never been known to turn down a quick buck.
Having recited these stories to Muhammad, the actual authors recognized the discrepancies between the accounts they had read to him and his convoluted revisions. It was obvious that the alterations were attributable to crises in Muhammad’s life rather than consistent with the lives of the Hebrew patriarchs they had described.
And, of course, the rabbis who had sold their Talmud tales to him knew they had not been revelations from Allah. So, these money-grubbing religious zealots mocked 239Muhammad – a really bad idea around a psychopath. Therefore, it is not surprising that this is when the Quran turned nasty and began telling Muslims to kill the Jews.
Had Muhammad invented his religion independently of the Babylonian Talmud, comparisons would have been unnecessary. If Muslims were not killing us while shouting “Allahu Akbar,” they would be irrelevant. But he did, and they are, so it is essential that we know what occurred.
Quran 003.003 “He revealed to you the Book in truth confirming that which (was) before it and He revealed the Taurat | Towrah / Torah and the Injeel | Euangelion (Good News Gospel).”
This lie is restated in…
Quran 005.046-48 “On their footsteps We sent in ‘Iesa | Jesus, son (of) Maryam, confirming what (was) between his hands of al-Tawrat | the Towrah. And We gave him al-Injil | the Good Message. In it guidance and light, confirming what was in his hands of al-Tawrat, a guidance and warning for the god conscious.
Let people of the Injeel (Gospel) judge by what al-Lahu has been revealed in it. And whoever does not judge by what al-Lahu has revealed, then those, they, the defiantly disobedient.
To you We have revealed the Book in truth, confirming what was before his hands of the Book, with a guardian over it (preserving them from change or corruption). So judge between them by what has been revealed by al-Lahu.
And do not follow their vain desires when has come to you from the truth. We have issued for you a Law, and a Way. And if al-Lahu had willed, He would have made you a single community, but to test you in what He gave you, race to the good. To al-Lahi you all will return. Then He will inform you of what you were differing.”
Since Paul, who admitted to being demon-possessed, authored the euangelion and created Christianity to replace Yahowah, Yahuwdym, the Beryth, and the Towrah, we can credit Satan with it. As for the Towrah, it was from and belongs to Yahowah. There were no guardians over it, however. But by claiming so, al-Lahi has abrogated his 240lone alibi to explain why his recital contradicts the Towrah in every possible way.
Preferring lies to the truth, al-Lahi’s assessment of his recital was erroneous because the Quran was neither a Book nor true. Muhammad was illiterate, and he could not have read a book if one had been handed to him.
Also telling, the concept of a “Book” did not exist until the invention of paper in the 4th century. Prior to that time, there were four ways to convey written information. Writing is first seen chiseled in stone. Lead and copper tablets then appeared which were receptive to alphabetic impressions. But the most popular means of conveyance was by creating parchment scrolls upon which a quill was used to apply ink. This is the composition of the Dead Sea Scrolls. It was not until sometime in the 1st century BCE that papyrus codices were created in Alexandria, Egypt, using reeds collected along the banks of the Nile.
Therefore, if we are to be rigorous in our thinking, the term “book” is incongruous with Yahowah’s revelations through His prophets. Scroll is the appropriate nomenclature.
Also, in contrast, Hebrew is the earliest phonetic alphabet. It predates Arabic by almost 3,000 years. And as readers quickly learn, Yahowah was a stickler for written communication. He instructed all of His prophets to inscribe every word on parchment scrolls.
Opposites are not the same. Allah is not Yahowah. The Quran is as different from the Torah and Prophets as words allow. Therefore, to claim that the Quran confirms the Towrah is to deceive. To say that the Quran is in opposition to the Towrah and contradicts it would be accurate. But they are not in the same league. By comparison, if the Towrah were the sun, the Quran would be the equivalent of an Arab trying to ignite camel poop in a deluge.
241Should you be unaware of the gross disconnect between the Towrah and Gospels or the differences between the Quran and the Towrah, I invite you to read An Introduction to God, Yada Yahowah, Observations, Coming Home, Babel, and Twistianity. I do not want you to be naïve because an informed and rational assessment leads to the undeniable conclusion that they are as incompatible as Muslims, Christians, and Jews were during the Crusades.
Allah dared us to judge between them. And when we do, we find a fallacious claim of affinity between three completely incompatible texts. And since one of the three predates the other two by 1,500 to 2,100 years, since there are extant copies of the Towrah, Naby’, wa Mizmowr centuries prior to the Quran showing that Yahowah’s testimony has not been altered, since God’s witness has been shown to be accurate scientifically and historically, and includes copious valid prophecies, and the Quran is devoid of these things, the Quran cannot draw credibility from the text it contradicts. Fueled with this information, you are now in a position to stand up and condemn the inhuman atrocities perpetrated by good Muslims against innocent Jews on October 7th, 2023.
Rather than being unkind or intolerant, doing so is merciful and laudable. In a world lost in the irrational rhetoric of Progressives, Conspiratorialists, anti-Semites, Christians, Muslims, and Ultra-Orthodox Jews, words wisely wielded are the only antidote for the plague of religious and political terror engulfing the world.
Should you wonder why Allah would make such obviously erroneous claims in his Quran, there are a variety of reasons. First, Yahowah’s credibility is unassailable, and Allah is trying to compete. And that is an uphill climb since Yahowah is God and Allah is Satan.
242Further, Yahowah used prophecy to prove that He inspired those who spoke for Him. But since Satan is incapable of providing this proof, he has to borrow Yahowah’s credibility – claiming in essence that it was Allah, not Yahowah, who provided the prophetic proof of Divine inspiration. This is evident by the fact that there isn’t a single accurate prediction in the Quran while Yahowah’s prophets provide thousands.
Second, since Yahowah proved that He is God and that He revealed the Towrah, Naby’, wa Mizmowr, Allah has to convince Arabs and subsequent Muslims that he is God by a different name. But that isn’t possible because Yahowah unambiguously stated that He has only one name, and Allah’s name is never mentioned by Yahowah’s prophets.
Third, Yahowah’s Towrah provides the only accurate explanation of our genesis and purpose. God’s presentation is accurate scientifically and historically. The only way the Snake in the desert can compete with that is to claim it as his own.
Fourth, Satan does not want to be known as ha Satan | the Adversary. From his appearance in the Garden to this day, his stated objective is to fool humankind into worshiping him as if he were God. Therefore, he claims to be Allahu Akbar | Allah is Greater than Yahowah. (Although, in Hebrew, ‘akbar means rat or mouse, making the proper translation: “Allah is a Mouse.”)
Fifth, Satan wants to degrade mankind in God’s eyes. In his view, we humans are pathetic and easy to manipulate – and based on Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, he has a point. So, he will often remove his veil and say something that makes it obvious that he is the Adversary, not God, just to aggravate the Almighty. For example, both Paul and 243Muhammad admit to having been demon-possessed. And yet the religious ignore the confession.
