ANTI ISLAM

Bismillah-hirrah-ma-nirraheem.

In consonance with the glorious tradition established by Allah’s Messengers, including the last and the final Apostle Mohammad, this communication commences with the blessings of Raheem, the nurturer of gradual changes and Rehman, the nourisher of the spontaneous transformations occurring simultaneously, throughout the entire cosmos.

[Wishing peace, prosperity and safety to you.]

My good friend, Malik told me about your website. It is both interesting and even shocking to learn that the Muslims have gained enough courage to criticize, Mohammad, the Qur’an, and other Islamic literature. In my opinion, it is the only way to differentiate between reality and myth. However, criticism must be conducted, utilizing Allah’s greatest gift, the sense of reasoning and it must be constructive with the intention of reaching the truth.

Some people pass judgment on Mohammad and the Qur’an, without any just cause. They seem to believe in the philosophy of condemnation for the sake of condemnation, which does neither indicate right attitude or correct approach. However, in most cases, it is not all their fault, as they are basing their judgment upon the distorted translations of the Qur’an and the worthless Islamic literature, fabricated three centuries after the death of Mohammad, classified as Ahadith, Sunnah, Traditions and Fiqah.

However, most of the ‘critics’ are Arabic illiterate and have no knowledge of the last Book. They base their criticism on hearsay; what they heard from their grandmas and some other unreliable sources. Not a single one had a real critical approach to the subject or had done any study of the Qur’an. This approach is both unscientific and unjustified.

It is my pleasure to come across your website, as it has provided me an opportunity to respond to the objections [mostly frivolous] raised against the Qur’an and the last Messenger of Allah. Before I embark upon that perilous journey, I would like to introduce myself.

I am Akhtar Sherazi and have recently published an over 600 page publication, entitled, ‘The Qur’anic Concept of Nikah [wedlock] vs. Religious Prostitution,’ which shall soon be available at all Chapters outlets within North America.[However at present you can place order on line to Chapters and Amazon . com] Therein, you shall find detailed answers to the criticism that has been posted on your website.

However, I don’t know how many of your contributors may get hold of that book; with this in mind I have decided to answer all queries received by you till date, in the same numerical order, you have maintained. My tools are the Qur’an and Allah provided sense of appreciation and understanding. I am doing this with the intention of clearing up doubts created by the misinformation coming from your contributors due to a clear lack of knowledge on their part about the last Messenger of Allah and the last Book bestowed upon him. If I could achieve any success in that effort, I shall consider myself to be the luckiest man on earth.

Criticism No-1 bqayyum@hotmail.com

C-1: So, it is not the religion, which makes one good or bad, although religion preaches hatred and apartheid and imposing their concept of truth on others. Thus I feel that all religions should be discarded and some new religion (or call it code of living) should be drafted for betterment of the humanity. I further believe that religion has its roots in illiteracy.

A-1: Of course all past and present religions, including the current sectarian Islamic priesthood preach hatred, promote intolerance, endorse self-righteousness at the expense of others, spread illiteracy and sponsor religious confrontation. However, the Message of the Qur’an is totally free of all such perverted ideas, pertaining to sect formation and dividing Ummah into watertight compartments. The existing political parties and Muslim sects are against the tenets of the Qur’an, In fact, the Qur’an condemns sect formation and identifies it as a serious crime against humanity.

The Qur’an does not present any religion; it offers the Divine Social Order, the best constitution ever produced, which was revealed to Mohammad for solving all human problems. In the Qu’ranic terminology, religion personifies an abominable social evil, which has nothing to do with the rule of law encrypted in the last revelation of Allah. This Charter of Rights and Obligations is comparable to the democratic legislation, with one big difference; the people, who implement this system, have no lust for power and hunger for wealth. They have nothing to do with the modern day dishonest politicians, lying through their teeth during the election campaigns and doing the opposite when they get hold of the reins of power. Last, but not the least, the wealth does not get accumulated in few hands, giving immense power to individuals over the common people.

It shall be advisable to discard all religions and implement the simple and straightforward tenets of the Qur’an. It must be the same system that was implemented by Mohammad in Medina and Mecca 1400 years ago that changed the course of history.

C-2: Irfan Khawaja

It was my grandmother who gave me the bulk of my religious instruction. She taught me the Quran, told me Quranic stories (my favorite was the story of Nuh, given the connection with animals), and told me frightening tales of kyamat, jahannum, and al akhira. She also filled me head with powerful visions of Paradise.

Several things bothered me about Islam. First, why was it necessary for Muhammad to kill so many people in the course of his prophecy? Why was conquest so central to Islamic history from its very beginning? Why did women occupy so low a station? If Islam was meant to bring blessedness "fi dunia w'al akhira" why was the Muslim world steeped in wretchedness? And why was Muslim hagiography so pathetically ill-equipped to deal with the arguments of Western Orientalism?

With years' hindsight, I see the merit in secular versions of Muslim rituals, and I practice them. I stop five times a day to reflect on my life, or simply to stop. I think there is some value in fasting, as there is in charity.

A-2: With due respect to your grandmother, it is observed that she painted a very dismal picture of the Islamic society established by the last Messenger of Allah, because of her awfully poor knowledge about the last Messenger and his lifetime work. Actually, she did not recount the real truth about Islam, but narrated the Islamic folklore to you. She must have been ignorant about the fact that the last Messenger of Allah fought only defensive battles and his only wish was to establish a peaceful society for the entire humankind. I want to point out here that you are talking on the basis of hearsay. Have you ever tried to fathom the truth that has been interwoven with the myth and legends? The Islam portrayed by Muslim preachers has nothing to do with Allah’s Al-Deen, presented by the Qur’an, which is currently the least understood book in the entire world.

You did a right thing by quitting five daily prayers, as this ritual is un-Islamic and is not authorized by the Qur’an. The so-called Western Orientalists are a bunch of misguided nincompoops, who base their criticism of Islam on Ahadith, Sunnah, Fiqah, Traditions and distorted Islamic History. All of them possess marginal understanding of the Qur’an, as they follow the translations of the so-called Muslim exponents, who did not undertake any independent research of their own. They, in fact, copied the first immensely flawed interpretation of the Qur’an, written by Ibne Kateer, a diehard Iranian conspirator, who was deadly against Mohammad, the Arab.

In the time of the last Messenger, women had equal rights, which were later usurped by the Muslim caliphs, with the collusion of the priesthood. The Ummah is passing through a phase of ignorance, which is worst than the one that existed in the pre-Islamic era. The real Al-Deen had been high jacked by Mullah mafia, supported by the rulers, over the a millennium.

The reason you are so confused is that you did not try to comprehend the only Book [Qur’an] that matters. The rest is nothing but a pile of junk.

To put the issues in their proper perspective, I am trying to present the real significance of the Qur'anic terms ‘Qyaamat,’ ‘Jahannum’ and ‘fi dunia w'al akhira:’

Qyaamat

This word signifies the time of resultant outcome or consequence, either good or bad, of an individual or collective [national] effort or action. With the establishment of that definition, the Youm-ul- Qyaama simply means the day or the time of beneficial or dreadful results coming up, as a result of the kind of efforts made.

An appropriate example shall bring home the point being made. If a person starts heating water in a pan at the sea level, it shall start boiling at 100 degrees Centigrade. Now that moment is the Youm-ul-Qyama for the water, irrespective of the fact that the heat is generated by wood, charcoal, gas or a spirit lamp. However, the time required for this process depends on the operator, who can bring about boiling very slowly or quickly by controlling the heat source. Naturally, the Youm-ul-Qyaama of water is variable, as it depends on the procedure adopted and followed by the person.

Similarly, Youm-ul-Qyaama of human life in conjunction with the physical, chemical and biological laws of the universe are exclusively in the hands of humankind. Good work by a society or even an individual produces good effects on the social setup and it becomes progressive in all spheres of human activity. On the contrary, bad efforts end up in disaster.

However, Youm-ul-Qyaama does not, by any stretch of imagination means the doomsday, the end of the world, or the day of the Last Judgment. The Islamic priesthood, against the tenets of the Qur’an, has promoted this thought just to scare the people for procuring hefty donations, because they vehemently insist that such contribution shall save them on the Day of Accountability.

Another concrete example from the history shall further elucidate the viewpoint developed for the Youm-ul-Qyaama. The creation of Bangladesh, which opted for independence from India in 1947, got sick and tired of the injustice leveled against it by the politicians of West Pakistan for almost 35 years. Its Youm-ul-Qyaama finally arrived in 1972, when it declared itself to be a separate sovereign country, having nothing to do with the West Pakistan. This was the day or time of Qyaamat for both wings of the country. According to Bangladeshi people it was good, as they carved out an independent state for themselves, whereas for West Pakistanis it was just the opposite. In fact, it was Allah’s punishment for both sides and both countries are still suffering its ill effects.

Fidunia w'al akhira

This expression carries the connotation of both the present time and the future. However, the latter can be classified in two categories, anticipated [concerning coming generations] and outlying [that of the hereafter]. Undoubtedly, the quality of life in those time periods would be dependent upon their current activities. The nations enjoying a peaceful, prosperous and secure present shall ensure better future for their descendants and pleasant time for themselves, in the life after life.

Jahannum

This term reflects upon the mental and intellectual atrophy of an individual or a nation that destroys its creative capabilities. It is a kind of affliction that wipes out the artistic talent and innate dexterity of the people, resulting in diminutive production capacity. Conditions of confusion, depression and disorder spread around, affecting the earning capability on the whole, creating a social trauma or a veritable physical inferno for the individual and the nation. The word Jahannum aptly describes such a situation, wherein the regular nourishment of body and mind reduces to a bare minimum. Conversely, the life wherein human personality develops to its full potential and becomes highly creative and ingenious, producing innumerable products for every person’s use, without any kind of bondage or slavery is described by the word Jannah a living paradise, as opposed to a burning hell described above.

With regard to the question, ‘Why was it necessary for Mohammad to kill so many people during the course of his prophecy?’ The answer is as under:

According to the Quran, all Messengers of Allah, including Mohammad, did not present prophecy of any kind. They were all equipped with one constitution, in consonance with the realities of this world, for the guidance of the entire humankind. Being an avid student of the Qur’an, I could not find a single verse in the last revelation that commands the indiscriminate killing of Jews, Christians or other people. The concept of prophecy is un-Islamic and was in vogue in the Jewish and Christian religious circles before the arrival of Mohammad, the last Messenger of Allah. The adherent of Sunnah and writers of Ahadith and Fiqah picked it again, around three centuries after the passing away of Mohammad.

However, the Qur’an says in the verse 5; 32, ‘If a person is killed unjustly, it is like killing the whole humanity. Conversely, if a single life is saved, it is like saving the entire humankind.’

In the face of such clear-cut commands of the Qur’an, Mohammad could never go ahead and kill people indiscriminately, without any just cause. It is just a stinking lie hurled against the impeccable character of Mohammad.

It must be kept in mind that all Messengers of Allah tried their level best to avoid unnecessary bloodshed and for that very reason all of them, including Mohammad, had to leave their places of birth. They did not want to spill the blood of their relatives and friends.

However, what is your opinion about Americans, who killed 175, 000 innocent people in the twin cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945 consecutively. They are the biggest terrorists in the history of humans. What are they doing in Afghanistan and Iraq? Do you know they have killed more than 500,000 Muslims in both countries, within the last year and a half? What are they doing in those countries? Why don’t they get the hell out of there right now? They have miserably failed to implant their kind of democracy before and they are doomed to failure even now. Who needs their so-called democratic system rotten down to the core, where the candidates lie and cheat, together with stooping down to the character assassination of each other, just to win measly four years in the White House?

The Islamic Shariah, Ahadith and Fiqah, a bunch of worthless crap has done grave injustice to the Muslim women and humiliated them throughout the centuries. Pay attention to what Qur’an says about them:

The Qur’anic verses 23:1 & 5, confirm that only the social system, wherein both women and men guard their chastity, shall be progressive, successful and ideal.

‘You the companions [both women and men] of Mohammad, struggling hard for the establishment of a peaceful social order; keep one thing in mind that your efforts shall become fruitful only and you shall surely achieve success, prosperity, safety and Allah’s blessings, if you guard your chastity and save yourself from all kinds of sexual depravities!’

With the command delivered through the verse 33: 35, the Qur’an liberated women from century’s old sexual bondage at the hands of men.

Every woman, like each man has her own distinct personality and is no more an object just for carnal pleasure of males. She can also achieve honor and dignity in her own right, by guarding her chastity.

· ‘If men have the potential to develop their own persona by harmonizing themselves with the directives of Allah, then women also possess similar inherent excellence.

· If men can become members of the movement, aiming to achieve world peace, through the application of Allah’s eternal laws, then women also can participate in that organization, just by becoming its members.

· If men can streamline their capabilities to work within the limits, set by Allah’s code of ethics, women can accomplish the same.

· If men can vindicate the truth of their convictions, through their practical implementation in life, women can perform the same feat.

· If men can remain steadfast on the path chosen by them, women can act likewise.

· If men have inexhaustible capacity to get more and more in harmony with the Allah’s commandments, once they are set on that path, women also have boundless energy to do so.

· If men can sacrifice baser thoughts for higher ideals, women have the potential to get at par with them.

· If men can control themselves, without violating the limitations imposed upon them, women can do better.

· If men can keep their sexual urge within the prescribed limits, so can women.

· If men can understand Allah’s rules and focus their activities accordingly, women can be equally effective.

· If both men and women possess identical capacities and potentials, then the results they achieve should be similar. Hence, both will enjoy equal protection and security, and all other amenities that shall accrue because of their good deeds.’

Therefore, according to the above verse, women have their own self-respect, dignity, identical rights and honor, but the Islamic priesthood with the connivance of the respective hegemonies in most Muslim countries, has been denying women their basic rights for centuries.

The remarks of the last century’s great Muslim leader, Quaid-e-Azam, Mohammad Ali Jinnah, founder of Pakistan, are worth mentioning, about the liberation of women, based upon the Qur’anic ideology.

An excerpt from his speech, delivered on March 10, 1944, at a meeting of Muslim League, held at the Muslim University of Aligarh, runs as follows:

“Another very important matter, which I wish to impress upon you, is that no nation can rise to the height of glory unless your women are side by side with you. We are victims of evil customs. It is a crime against humanity to shut up your women within the four walls of the houses, as prisoners. I do not mean that we should imitate the evils of Western life. However, let us try to raise the status of our women according to our own Islamic ideals and standards. There is no sanction anywhere for the deplorable conditions in which our women have to live. You should take your woman along with you as comrades in every sphere of life, avoiding the corrupt practices of the Western society. You cannot expect a woman, who is ignorant herself to bring up your children properly. Women have the power to bring up children on right lines. Let us not throw away this asset.”

[Speeches, statements and Message of Quid-e-Azam, Vol. 3, P. 1853]

“The ‘weaker sex’ is more powerful than both sword and pen,” was the view expressed by Mr. M. A. Jinnah, while addressing the students of Jinnah Islamia College for women, in Lahore, on March 25, 1940.

He said, “I have always maintained that no nation can ever be worthy of its existence that cannot take its women along with the men. No struggle can ever succeed without women participating side by side with men. There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both; that of the women.”

“It is women and women alone, who can teach men how and when to wield the sword or pen, when the occasion arises. You, young women, are more fortunate than your mothers are. You are being emancipated. I do not mean that you should copy the West. But I do mean that every man must be made to understand that each woman is his equal and that woman is his friend and comrade and they together can build up homes, families and nations.”

[Speeches, Statements and Message of the Quid-e-Azam, Vol. 2, P. 1939-40]

The Qur’an commands both male and female, to protect the pearl of chastity. It must be a permanent trait of human personality, for it helps to build a strong character.

Regarding that, Mr. Jinnah declared this message to his nation,

“Try your level best to learn the sense of responsibility and duty. Build up your character; that is more than all degrees. All degrees and no character is mere waste of time. You should also develop the sense of honor, integrity and duty. We are not, even a bit, inferior to any other nation. We have simply neglected to develop these qualities, which we could. Believe me, the day these qualities are fully developed, your home – Pakistan – is yours.”

C-3: So I created a mental schizophrenia where I ignored the real barbaric and xenphobic nature of Islam with the reality I was experiencing. In my heart I always felt that the inequality of women was wrong, that non-Muslims were just as equal and human as Muslims, that science provided much more reasonable explanations of the world than the myths of Islam ever did. But I was too paralyzed by fear and by not wanting to upset my family, so I never said anything.

I had an extremely difficult crisis of the soul. I knew the extreme contempt that Islam had for homosexuality, and I felt that I would suffer the torments of hell for feeling the way I did. I tried committing suicide in college, but was saved by a friend. That was the turning point. I decided I was no longer going to be a slave to a barbaric, fascist, sexist, homophobic, totalitarian, obscurantist, cult-like, joyless, loveless, fear-mongering (should I add more adjectives?) horrible horrible horrible ideology!

Today, free of Islam and religion, I feel more liberated and powerful and in control of my life than I could have ever imagined.

A-3: Your problem is that you are confusing the current Mullah mafia as the manifestation of the real Qur’anic society. Unfortunately, that is not the right thinking. The current sectarian Islam has got nothing to do with the Qur’anic state established by the last Messenger of Allah, in Medina and Mecca, 1400 years ago, which was destroyed by the power and money hungry caliphs with the collusion of Muslim clergy.

In the beginning of the 21^st century, we are experiencing the Iranian version of Islam, which is just an antithesis of the Qur’anic constitution. All kinds of rituals that are celebrated by the Muslims, the world over, are condemned by the last revelation. Darood-o-salaam, zikar, healing powers of the Qur’anic ayas, ‘Mairaj Sharif’, Hajj and many more has no Qur’anic authenticity. All such Biddats appeared in 3^rd and 4^th centuries Higra, along with Mullahs, Eunuchs, Sufis and Mausoleums. All of these shameless activities were non-existent in the time of the last Messenger and even in that of his stalwart companions.

However, the Qur’an categorizes gay culture as unnatural, because it does not fall into the category of Zwaj or heterosexual couple. Gay and lesbian relationships are considered to be an affliction that must be cured through medicinal or psychological therapies. Heterosexual couples produce children, propagating the human race, whereas homosexual only waste the precious baby making juices. The Qur’an wants to correct this situation and bring back the marginalized gays and lesbians into the main stream of the society.

Death penalty for an apostate is a cruel and barbaric fabrication of the Islamic priesthood, which the Qur’an does not support at all. Nevertheless, being born in a Muslim family does not make some one a Muslim. Every child, while coming of age and even in the later part of life, must learn to differentiation between Al-Deen and the contemporary religions and has to make its own choice, utilizing Allah given sense of reasoning and understanding. If a person does all that and still sticks to the Islamic way of life, such an individual turns out to be a real Muslim.

Jews can be Jews by birth and so can be Christians, but it is different with Muslims. They have to learn the Qur’an and understand the verses without any help from synthesized Sunnah, fabricated Ahadith, and mixed-up Fiqah. Since the Muslims have given up the right of choice, they are in the hellhole. Jews and Christians have become secular, because their revelations have become extinct, millennia ago. They have stopped bothering about them. That is why a Christian or a Jew is so by birth.

The real Muslims described above stopped existing, since the Iranian influence infiltrated the Abbasid courts and their purported exponents changed the meanings of the Qur’anic words, terms and expressions, with the full support of the caliphs. They tried to change the text of the Last revelation, but could not do so for the following two reasons:

· Firstly, Arabic is a language of roots like Hebrew and Aramaic. The latter was the lingo of the Anjeel, which was given to Jesus. But the original Book got lost a long time ago and the Bible, which has nothing to do with the real revelation, is now accepted as the word of God. The Jewish books existing in this day and age are corrupted beyond recognition, but since the creation of Israel, a strong effort is underway for the revival of Hebrew, as a medium of communication. However, the Qur’an still exists in its original form, pertaining to its index, text and syntax.

· Secondly, in that period there were hundreds of thousands of Arabs, who had memorized the entire Qur’an, which made changing the script an insurmountable task, in their presence.

The scientific discoveries in all fields of knowledge have no clash with the Qur’an. In fact, they are supporting the realities expressed by the Qur’an 1400 years ago. However, the Church had a number of them, a couple of which are worth mentioning here.

Firstly, the credibility of Bible was severely damaged by the confrontation the Christian priesthood had with the geologists about the existence of the planet Earth, as part of the Solar System. The latter were putting forth a time span of 4.5 billion years, on the basis of their in-depth studies, whereas the former were adamantly stuck to the figure of 4,500 years on the basis on some odd calculations done, incorporating ‘certain evidence’ provided by the Bible. Eventually, the Papal hierarchy gave in to the scientific truth, which caused a great deal of humiliation and embarrassment to the institution and adversely affected the legacy of the Bible, as the book based on truth.

Secondly, Galileo claimed that Earth revolves around the Sun, but the Church maintained the dogma that it’s the other way round. He was first put under house arrest and then made to live in solitary environment. During this period he suffered physical infirmity, which later on resulted in blindness. In 1992, the Pope realized the Church’s mistake, after a lap of 350 years and came up with the following comments:

“That while 17th-century theologians based their decision on the knowledge available to them at the time, they had wronged Galileo by not recognizing the difference between a question relating to scientific investigation and one falling into the realm of doctrine of the faith.”

Unfortunately, the true Islam is nowhere to be found, within the current, 57 independent Muslim majority states. In view of that situation, it is an excellent decision on your part to liberate yourself from the authoritarian, joyless, and dreadful cultist ideology of the theocratic Islam, but not the Qur’an, as it respects your basic rights and freedom of choice. You are opting to be a homosexual and of course you shall face terrible consequences of this unnatural practice. The people, who defy nature, are slapped into oblivion. Allah has created this fluid energy for procreation and not for wasting, but if you want to live that way, it is your choice.

The unprejudiced study of the Qur’an, with an open mind, shall alleviate despondency from your life. Allah’s guidance shall eradicate your mental aberration, free you from the state of trepidation and cure your schizophrenia.

In the verse 4:137, the Qur’an states, ‘the people who quit practicing the Qur’anic code in their lives, shall neither find protection from Allah’s Laws, nor shall they ever find the right path to live happily.’

‘Those, who first accepted Islam [started struggling for the establishment of a peaceful society based on the Qur'anic constitution], then went back and joined the opposite camp [non-Muslims], once again turned around to become a part of the Muslim Ummah, but left one time more and then grew stubborn in their denial of the truth; such type of people shall neither be protected from the Laws of Allah, nor they shall ever find the right path. They shall plunge deeper into ignorance and ignominy.’

Therefore, according to the above verse of the Qur’an, you are free to accept or reject the Qur'anic commandments. Additionally, there is no capital punishment for any Muslim, who wants to rescind his allegiance to Allah and the Qur’an. Every one has full liberty either to belong to the Muslim community or go the other way. There is complete freedom of choice for every Muslim to become Hindu, Christian, Jew or an agnostic; whatever suits someone’s palate of belief.

Death penalty for an apostate is the fabrication of the Islamic priesthood and Iranian Imams. They invented the term ‘apostate’ and injected it into the Islamic Shariah, with a view to keep a firm hold on their respective sects and dissuade their followers from wandering away or changing sides, due to the hanging sword of decapitation over their heads. This concept is, however, alien to the Qur’an and is nothing more than an erroneous belief.

C-4: I cannot understand the marriage between the prophet of Islam and Ayesha. In my view, mullahs or the ulemas twist this incident or avoid talking about it. From my boyhood, I heard that the prophet was 50 years and she was 9 years but later in an esteemed newspaper

Sajid Ashraf

N.B. My email is the following prudent_56@yahoo.com (people who do or do not share my view may contact)

A-4: You did arrive at the right conclusion that the Iranian, both Shi’ah and Sunni Imams of the 3^rd and 4^th century Higra, maliciously created the myth of Mohammad and Ayesha’s Nikah, despite the fact that Allah has imposed the following restrictions, with respect to the selection of the spouses, in order to facilitate a happy and harmonious married life:

They should have comparable views about the life in general, must have similar physical and mental attributes and be of the same age. [57:37]

· They must have come of age, reached physical and mental maturity to make their own decisions and must possess sufficient means of subsistence. [4:6]

· They must be of sound mind, have sufficient strength to brave the rigors of life and must be full of vitality to enjoy the bliss of married life. [6:152]

It is imperative here to check up with the Qur’an about Mohammad’s social behavior and the kinds of commandments given to him by his Nourisher.

· The verse 33:52 pronounces openly, ‘Mohammad your are forbidden to marry any other woman, besides the one’s, who are already in your Nikah!’

· As per Surah Al-Threem, Mohammad had two wives at the time of his appointment to the exalted position of the Messenger of Allah. Despite the clear-cut command of the last revelation about his matrimonial limitations, how could Mohammad do, whatever he had been reported to be accomplishing by the compulsive Iranian liars, 300 years after his death? It does not make any sense, as the Messengers of Allah strictly adhere to the revelations they receive. Mohammad could never deviate from the explicit instructions passed on to him pertaining to his marital life and he could never indulge in the nefarious activities you have mentioned on the basis of the purported ‘Islamic literature.’ It is nothing but sordid kind of mudslinging on his impeccable character.

· The verse 47:4, declares a complete ban on all kinds of slavery and Mohammad personally promulgated this proclamation of Allah, then how could he go against it and commit the despicable acts that you blame him for? This kind of character assassination is the height of spitefulness, which his Iranian enemies leveled against him, because they are not a part of the Muslim Ummah, but are the worshippers of Mazdak.

· The verses 33:50-52 clearly show that at the time of receiving the high office of Allah’s Messenger, he had only two wives. He was also forbidden from taking new wives or divorcing his existing ones; then how could he go out and marry women left and right? This evidence destroys the malicious slur you have concocted against him.

· In the verse 33:4-5, Allah forbids the adoption of other people’s sons or daughters. Mohammad could never have gone against that clear-cut directive and declared Zaid as his son. This is an unadulterated falsehood. It means the story built upon this incident did not materialize ever, as he never adopted any son. Zainab, the name of Zaid’s alleged wife does not appear anywhere in the Qur’an. In addition, according to the verse 33:55, Mohammad was the figurative father of his nation and could not marry any woman as per the direct command of Allah to maintain his exalted image within his nation. Therefore, the marriage of Zainab with him is nothing but a blatant lie of the worst kind. To find the truth about this fictitious event in detail, you should get hold of my book entitled, ‘The Qur'anic concept of Nikah vs. Religious prostitution.’

The Quran has an excellent continuation of discussions on all aspects of human life, without any abrupt changes of topics. The screwed up translations might give that impression. Not a single existing translation of the Qur’an has done justice to the last revelation of Allah. The simple and straightforward message of the Qur’an has been corrupted, though the text remains intact. In fact, the legendary repetitive style of Arabic vernacular has been utilized to make the subject matter easily comprehensible. In order to reach the real connotation of each word, term and expression, it is essential to follow the built-in procedure laid down in the Qur’an. All a person has to do is to check every word, used with respect to various contexts in different verses, to grasp its real significance applicable to each and every aya. Only this way, it is possible to completely understand the over and undertones of each phrase, expression presented in each Surah [chapter].

Consistent with the verses 23:5, 24:30, 70:29, 24:3, all Messengers of Allah, including Mohammad, were righteous, honorable and immaculate individuals, who guarded their unblemished characters in the fortress of Nikah. In view of this irrefutable evidence, it is ridiculous and preposterous to say that Mohammad along with all other Messengers of Allah were debauched and decadent lechers.

In the presence of the above mentioned basic tenets of the Qur'an for Nikah between a man and a woman, how could Mohammad possibly wed a girl, who is said to be 6, 9 or 15 years old, when he personally, was close to 50? This tantamount to open defiance of the revelation that he received, which he would never have even dared to think about. The piles of Ahadith and the accounts of Sunnah, pertaining to this subject, are nothing but a pack of lies, which the Iranian Imams, his most vindictive antagonists, fabricated to ridicule Mohammad the Arab and invalidate the constitution he implemented.

In addition, Ayesha and Khadijah, Zainab, and Fatma [non existing daughter of Mohammad] are non-Arabic names and there is no truth in the myth that Mohammad ever married non-Arab women. The fact of the matter is, these names have Iranian origin and the Ahadith manufacturers of these stories forgot this aspect, while instituting these names in their falsehoods.

C-5: I spent most of my free time attending religious gatherings in Lahore, Pakistan. I spent about 6 years with Maulana Moudidi. About 8 years with Allama Ghulam Ahmad Pervez. I studied nearly everything about Islam on which I could lay my hands. By the time I was 40, my concept about religion had changed absolutely. The offensive and intollarant stance of Islam had created repulsive attitude about religion. I stopped believing in anything like god, messanger, life hereafter and so on. Then I read some articles from the humanist forum. Presently I am ashamed to be born to a Muslim family. But I don't know what to do because the society in which I live executes those who leave Islam. Can someone guide me what I could do.

A-5: I can very well visualize your situation, because long time ago, I was in the same boat, you find yourself in now. But, then I worked hard to understand the Qur’an and currently, I am a changed person altogether and enjoy the tranquility bestowed upon me by the last revelation of Allah. You can reach me through my ID quranicresearchinc@hotmail.com anytime you want and I shall happily try to answer all of your questions. Please do not hesitate to contact me, as I am of the view, it is a blessing to understand the real Muslim, through one’s own efforts. I shall be delighted to help you out of this predicament, which I personally experienced a long time ago.

C-6: Do you believe that Muslims have the right to kill Buddhist, Hindus, red Indians, etc? Do you believe that Christians and Jews deserve the un-equal treatment they have received and still receive in Muslim countries, the Dhimmitude status? Do you believe that a husband have the right to hit a "disobediant" wife? Do you believe that a father should have the right to kill a "disobediant" daughter; the so called honour-killings? This is what the Koran stands for, Adibah, and if you are wearing a headscarf you are announcing to the world that you despise the non-Muslim democracies, the Western way of life, tolerance equality and understanding. In short, that you despise everything I believe in, and values that I hold sacred. (If you do not believe that Muslims despise Western society, just read the comment posted below your own.) Adibah, I can hear you protest and say that this is not what the Koran says. To my experience, many Muslim women do not know much about the Koran. Start reading it, especially Sura 4. Women. You can get a lot of information on this web site and here are plenty of useful links. And includ scraf.

Adiba! Best wishes, Johanna from Sweden e-mail:vildhassel@hotmail.com http://www.hti.umich.edu/cgi/k/koran/koran-idx?type=simple&
q1=unbeliever&size=First+100

A-6: You hurled the following insinuations against the Qur’an.

· The Qur’an commands Muslim to kill Buddhist, Hindus and the red Indians.

· The Qur’an directs a husband to hit a disobedient wife and a father to kill a disobedient daughter, on the plea of honor killing.

· The Qur’an instructs the Muslims to treat Christian and Jews as not their equals.

· The Qur’an orders Muslim women to wear headscarves.

Can you quote any verse, as evidence, in support of your allegations against the Qur’an, enumerated above? I am especially interested to know verses through which the Qur’an issues such specific commandments against the non-Muslims.

However, in defiance to your unwarranted and unsubstantiated accusations, the Qur’an states in the verse 5; 32, ‘if one kills a person without a just cause, it shall tantamount to the killing of the whole humanity. Conversely, ‘if one saves the life of a single person, it shall be like saving the entire humankind.’

Your unconfirmed allegation that the Qur’an orders Muslims to hate Christian, Jews and Hindus is, completely baseless.

The Qur’an, contradicting your point of view, states in the verse 17:70, ‘certainly, every individual [regardless of race, religion, color and nationality] on this planet is equally honored in the sight of Allah. Unquestionably, the noblest among you from Allah’s standpoint is the one, who adheres to Allah’s commandments for the establishment of a peaceful and prosperous society in this world.’ [49:13]

The Qur’an does not direct women to wear headscarves or [Hijab]. It does not authorize fathers and husbands to kill their daughters or hit their wives, under the pretext of honor killing or improving their behavior. The disgusting and uncouth Islamic priesthood has concocted this disgusting and repugnant directive.

You have charged that the Muslims are not treating Christians and Jews as their equals. What is your opinion about the mass graves in Bosnia and Kosovo, which were filled in with the bodies of ruthlessly, massacred unarmed Muslim men, women and children by their Christian neighbors? What do you think about indiscriminate killing of innocent Muslim men, women and children in Iraq and Afghanistan by the American Christians? How would you categorize the action taken by the American Christians against the 175,000 Buddhist civilians of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, who were blasted away by two atomic bombs? Had they ever been punished for their crimes against humanity? What is your opinion about the illegal occupation of the lands of Palestine and Kashmir by the Zionists and the Hindus and the continued state terrorism against the non- combatants in both areas? Do you think the wholesale killing of Kashmiri Muslims and the atrocious raping of their women, by the thousands are really good deeds? On top of that, do you have any concept, how inhumanly blameless Muslim men are treated in the dreadful prisons maintained by Christians, Jews and Hindus?

Your suggestion for Adibah to read Surah 4, ‘The Women’ is a wonderful idea. In this chapter, Allah has provided detailed instructions pertaining to both wedlock and divorce. In addition, women have been accorded, for the first time in human history, their real place in the society with dignity and honor. It has also been stressed upon men that in some respect they are superior to them.

In fact, this particular section of the Qur’an provides pertinent guidance to the sexually over liberated Western society, where 40 % of the kids never know, who were the sperm donors or their biological fathers, because their mothers can not keep track of their promiscuous relationships. Additionally, in here, the Qur’an deals at length with the treatment of Muslim women both at home and in the society and can be of immense interest to the modern Western culture, wherein the female is attached great importance just as a sex symbol and a commodity that sells like an excellent commodity. Here, a remedy is also presented for keeping the sex predators in check, who boast about having sexual intercourse with more than 6,000 women. This Surah has an excellent guideline for the girls, who get pregnant before celebrating their 15^th birthday and provides help for those men and women of the Western society that suffer from excessive sexual libido or over drive.

Last, but not the least, the Surah of the Qur’an under reference provides an excellent solution for rectifying the sexual holocaust destroying the Western culture, irreparably. These verses have the key for setting right the social trauma prevalent, especially, in the form of over-growing numbers of single parents, in the so-called advanced countries. Here, the most beneficial way is indicated for creating a well-knit and coherent family unit that constitutes the basic component for building up a robust social setup, which ensures the physical and mental health of the coming generations. These pole bearers can only vouch for the global peace and prosperity. Surely, throughout this Surah, you shall not find a single verse, commanding the women to wear headscarves or Ahjab [plural of Hijab].

Your comments pertaining to the Dhimmitude statues are baseless and demonstrate your complete ignorance of the Qur'an and its Message. In fact, the last revelation impresses upon the Muslims to preserve the historical monuments for the coming generations and directs the Muslim men and women to become archeologist and explore the historical realities of the bygone nations, in order to determine the causes of their last vanishing act. The evidence of this liberal attitude is demonstrated by the fact that Muslim rulers did not damage any of the obelisks, temples, pyramids or any other artifact of antiquity, during the last thirteen centuries of their rule in Egypt.

The Taliban were not Muslims according to the definition of the Qur’an and whatever they did in Afghanistan does not befit a Muslim regime. Growing beards, that is mandatory as per the Sikh religion or wearing headscarves that the Christian nuns practice does not make any one a real good Muslim. They were the worst example of Mullah Mafia that is severely condemned by the Qur’an. The American exhibited similar attitude in Iraq, as they did nothing to secure the priceless artifacts, collected over centuries, in the Iraqi museums. In addition, the American forces damaged the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, by demolishing the walls and using the bricks for building their fortification in and around that area. This is called the height of irresponsibility and shear apathy.

C-7: My mother was a religious fanatic and she instilled Islam in my heart through fear later on this fear matured into religious fanaticism. I am a highly sexed man and Islam offered me legalization of lust through inspiring me of four marriages. I could not understand the marriage of Ayesha to the prophet. In spite being born in a Sunni family I could not understand Umars cruelty termed as services for Islam. Islam advocates Equality but why was the prophet given priviledges. Muhammed has shown me a lot. If a person is psychologically smart he can sell any idea whether worshipping dog too.

Sinclaire sakhnaton@hotmail.com

A-7: Fanaticism is the basic tenet of all religions and is prevalent around the globe, including the current Islamic priesthood that is spread like a giant octopus in all 57 Muslim majority countries. Your mother was not a fanatic, but a misguided Muslim, who never tried to understand the Qur’an, on her own. She was simply following the way shown to her by the Mullah Mafia. In my opinion she was a great woman, who brought you up to the best of her ability, giving you pertinent understanding of yourself and how to utilize your Allah given gift of intellect.

It is good that you are a very virile man and not a nerd, but the common concept of four marriages permissible for a Muslim male, under ordinary circumstances, is blown way out of proportion. The Qur’an basically stresses upon monogamy, whereas polygamy is only allowed for exceptional conditions. As they say, ‘extraordinary situations require extraordinary measures,’ it is the stopgap arrangement for the duration of an emergent state of affairs. A typical example could be presented of the post-war Germany, where 7 million women could not find husbands, as the demographics had been severely disturbed, because of the gargantuan loss of men during the Second World War. If the Qur’anic Law of Polygamy had been invoked and every man had taken up to 4 wives, the problem due to the excessive number of women had been solved. A similar situation arose for the nascent Islamic government in Medina, due to a large influx of single and divorced women, who had accepted Islam and had nowhere else to go, except the capital of the newly formed Islamic state. However, with the return of normalcy, the order for polygamy was withdrawn.

You are under the wrong impression that polygamy is for the sexual satisfaction of men like you, suffering from the condition known as, Satyriasis. What would be the solution, if one of your wives turns out to be a Nymphomaniac and does not get sexual satisfaction from you? Is she allowed to seek 4 husbands in consonance of your theory of 4 wives? Think about it!

To find the correct answer pertaining to the myth of Ayesha and Mohammad’s marriage, please look under C-4.

C-8: I have been a Muslim since I was born in Pakistan. I got master degree in computer science and am a famous figure in computers community. . I might need some financial help for a short time and then I will be back to my life. This Pakistan is a SHIT place to be in and islam is to blame for all the hypocrisy here. Although, if I tell others that I am leaving Islam, I will be KILLED. Hence, I am sharing my heart-deep thoughts with you. In these circumstances, I intend to commit suicide by going to Jihad in Afghanistan or Kashmir. See, how easy and rewarding it is to commit suicide i Islam.

E-Mail me at masoomzindagi@hotmail.com .

Call me "ALI". Bye

A-8: The Qur’an does not recognize you as a Muslim, even if you were born in a Muslim family. It is a misconception that a person becomes a Muslim just by birth. According to Allah’s last revelation, you only deem fit to be called a Muslim, if you study the Book utilizing your intellect and sense of reasoning, gifts of Allah, when you reach the age of maturity and then accept Al-Deen as your way of life, of your own volition. The coercive circumstances in which you are surviving, do not give you any right to be called a Muslim. You are suffering from self-deception in that regard.

The terms good or bad are relevant and interchangeable. You curse your homeland Pakistan for very wrong reasons, because it is not the land, but the people, who matter. A draconian system is in place within your country, but the people, including you, neither have the will nor a plan to uproot it. Tell me! Who is at fault?

However, the Qur’an condemns suicide, as it is a sign of defeated mentality. The people, who lose hope and find no way out of their predicament, undertake such an abominable act. It might interest you to know that the Japanese, Denmark and Swedan people are having the highest suicide rate in the world. There, juvenile girls become suicidal, if they could not achieve 95% marks in a test and got only 90% instead. You get life only once; live it out instead of putting an end to it. To end one’s own life is the most cowardly act possible.

C-9: Now, I have decided not to practice Islam anymore, and if I was to relate how many negative experiences I have had with Muslims since I converted, I could write a whole book, so I am still faithful, but dont particularly believe in the "religious" aspect of Islam. To me, it is a bunch of irrational BS that becomes only acceptable when people are submitted to extensive brainwash. Anyways, I still do my prayers but I dont think Islam is "the perfect religion" as many Muslims say.

feel free to contact me at lukeache@yahoo.com

A-9: For a starter, the modern day Islam has got nothing to do with the real Islam that was practiced in the time of Mohammad, because the rituals you are practicing now were alien to that way of life. Unfortunately, you are not the follower of the Qur’an, but that of the ‘mumbo jumbo’ created by the Islamic priesthood. Then how can you make Islam or rather the Qur’an responsible for all irrationality going around? You say you are still praying, but the last Messenger of Allah never did so, as there is no directive in the last revelation of Allah to that effect. The alleged Shi’ah and Sunni Iranian Imams created this ritual almost three centuries, after the demise of the last Messenger.

Islam is not a religion, but Al-Deen or a way of life, or even better, a constitution. All contemporary faiths are riddled with rituals and customs, including the alleged ‘MODERN’ Islam shaped up by the Mullah Mafia. A pertinent example shall clear up the difference between the two. The American constitution is a way of life; it entails all essential ingredients for running the country on democratic lines, but there are no ceremonial procedures, like 5 daily prayers and a host of others to be followed. The Qur’an enjoys exactly an identical status; it is Allah’s constitution for the benefit of the entire humankind, without any rituals and customs, which came into existence centuries after the death of Mohammad. He, however, put the given manifesto into practice and exhibited its immense benefits to the other nations, to follow suit, if they wanted to accrue the same advantages, ensured by this system.

In the real sense of the word, you are not practicing Islam at all, so leaving or keeping it becomes immaterial. In fact, it shall not make any difference in the real sense and shall turn into an exercise in futility.

C-10: I am from pakistan , a 25 years old male .. up to the age of 24 I was a very religious person. But that was not my decision to be religious but you do not have any other option in a country like pakistan, our environment is very rigid and extereme when it comes to religion, Islam discoureges to question and think too much but only follow and believe. I was lucky to get a good friend who showed me the actual face of islam. The point important for me is that islam only proves itself by terrifying the people and it is the fear through which it is rulling on the people fear of death , fear of hell etc.

Comments will be welcomed either positve or negative freethinker101@hotmail.com

A-10: It is the religion called ‘Islam’ that creates an umbrella of fear all around you, inclusive of Allah, the Saints, the death, the grave, the Day of Judgment and many more hyped and nonsensical ‘mumbo jumbos.’ The Islamic priesthood, with the intention of keeping people under their thumb for keeping their lucrative business running, perpetuates this sort of dogma. You will be surprised to know that religion is the most extensive and the highest paying business of the world, whether Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Jews or Sikh carry it on. The Priests, Mullahs, Pundits, Rabbis and Grunthies mint tones of money on daily basis, without investing anything from their own pockets. On top of that, there is no audit of the daily collections and it is all tax-free. This all is accomplished by creating the dread of religious persecution and chastisement at the hands of the priesthood, if their following ever dares to go astray. There is another reality worth noting here; the technological advancement and the industrial revolution took a foothold in Europe, when Pope of Rome and his cohorts were thrown out of the window. The worst religious persecution occurred in that part of the world, under the tyranny of ruling priests. The life of Michael Angelo presents the epitome of the most horrible subjugation.

The Qur’an, on the other hand states, ‘when you will implement the tenets of Allah and establish the government based on the Qur’anic constitution, you shall be free of all kinds of qualms and worries, including that of outside aggression. Peace and tranquility shall prevail in your stable society.

C-11: There is a misconception in the minds of every Muslim that just reading the Arabic text of Quran is an act of great reward from God. . As there are many factions in Islam, I will try to mention those rituals which are followed by all. Daily: Early in the morning (before dawn) there echoes adhan (call for Morning Prayer) with prefixing and suffixing poems praising Muhammad . There is Eid (three days of happiness) just after the completion of the month of Ramadan. On day one, a special prayer is offered in the mosques after the sun rises. c. Eid-ul-Adha: It is celebrated on the 10th to 12th of Islamic month Zilhaj A special prayer is offered in the mosques after the sun rises. And after offering the prayer, animals (sheep, got, cow, ox, camel) are slaughtered in the name of Sunnah of prophet Ibrahim. Moreover, on these days, Muslims from all over the world gather in Mecca (a holy city for Muslims in Saudi Arabia) to perform Hajj which is called one of the five pillars of Islam. d. Moharram: This is the holiest month of the Shiite faction of Islam. During this month the Shiites mourn the death of grandsons, granddaughters etc. of Muhammad who were killed by Hasid, the then Governor of Koofa. The Shiites gather in their respective Imambargahs (mosques of Shiites) and then go in the form of procession to the main Imambargah of the city. All the way they beat their chests as a gesture of mourning. Some emotional hit their backs with knife-like blades tied with chains. It takes many hours for the procession to reach the main place. It is important to mention that when there is a procession on the road, the road is blocked for all type of traffic, in any case. The real Islam disgraces women, permits men to beat their wives, that imposes discrimatary laws on the religious minorities, that wants to rule the world by converting all the non-Muslims into Muslims, that calls for Jihad and killing the non-muslims until Islam becomes the only religion of the World. According to the Islam saying of prayers (five times a day) is the vital difference between Muslims and non Muslims. Moreover, it keeps the Muslims away from doing bad acts. I do not see any other religion whose teachings are in contrast to the teachings of Islam. Obviously good is good in all the religions and vice versa. Further, Muslims believe that Islam is the only true religion. I see no quality distinguishing them from the rest of the world. Generally, I do not see their character in conformity with the accepted principles of right and wrong.

A-11: You did aptly paint the decadent picture of the current Islam, which has been reduced to a collection of worthless rites and rituals, including 5 daily prayers. In fact, the word Salah does not connote the customary bowing down to Allah, which switches on indolent and languid attitude in the human personality. This misrepresentation of the Qur’anic term Salah put a stop to the active progressive drive within the society, setting in degeneration of the worst kind. Would you believe that within the last one hundred years, Muslims have not turned up with a single invention?

In fact, the expression Salah signifies Allah’s divine social order, a perfect and complete constitution for the entire humankind, revealed to Mohammad through the mighty medium of galactic Gabriel energy. But what is happening in the 21^st century; 70 to 80% of the Muslims, on the worldwide basis, just read the Arabic text of the Qur’an, without understanding a single word. This is the only nation on the face of the earth that is subjecting its revealed book to such a contemptuous treatment. This is the height of international Islamic apathy towards Allah’s invigorating set of laws. Arabic illiteracy has damaged the cause of Islam extensively for the last one thousand years.

Look at the Shi’ahs, who yearly mourn a fictional tragedy, on a grandiose scale, especially in South Asia, Iran and southern enclave of Iraq, relating to the alleged killing of Mohammad’s grandson Hussain through his daughter Fatima and son-in-law Ali, along with some of his close relatives. This charade, created by the Iranian mischief mongers, is enacted during the first ten days of the first month of the Islamic calendar, on a yearly basis, with the grand finale on the last day. This entire episode has nothing to do with the constitution bestowed upon the humankind by the Qur’an, but it forms the basis of the Shi’ah religion.

However, as it is said, mendacity does not have solid ground under its feet, so this story concocted by the Iranian conspirators, is unraveling, as a result of the modern research. Authentic documents, found is Spain, prove beyond shadow of a doubt, that Hussain, the governor of Koofa [a city in modern Iraq], was murdered in the bedroom of his palace by the son of Hurmazan, a diehard Zoroastrian, who had pledged to destroy the Muslim power, by killing the charismatic leadership of the movement.

The latest research shows that Ali remained governor of Koofa, till his death. After him, his eldest son Hassan resumed that responsibility, but he suffered from a rare medical condition identified as Satyriasis [libido overdrive] and died soon, due to the progressive physical debility, resulting from excessive sexual intercourse. At that moment, Hussain took over the reins of power in Koofa and held the office for quite sometime, but Hurmazan’s son also decapitated him, in his own bedroom, with a single blow of a machete like sword.

The fake Iranian Muslims, the enemies of Mohammad, the Quran and Allah came up with all kinds of fictitious stories, about the slaughter of his kith and kin at Karbala, Iraq. A vast majority of Shiite illiterates firmly believe in the account narrated by the hired Zakars [flamboyant and firebrand raconteurs] about the imaginative atrocities inflicted by male heirs of Mohammad’s closest companions, upon Hussain and his family.

It is, however, interesting to note that the alleged Imam Hussian was an Arab and strangely enough not even in a single Arab country, the legendary express of grief about him goes on with the same grief, as it happens in the non-Arab countries like Iran, India and Pakistan. Nonetheless, most of the Arab nations do not take any notice of this event at all.

Naturally, it means the sworn Iranian enemies of the Arabs came up with the concocted account of Hussain’s ‘martyrdom’ by the bank of Euphrates [Arabic Faraat] and drummed it up so much that it became their mainstream religion. I am of the opinion that with their extreme leftist attitude, they created intensely warped interpretation of the Qur’an and blocked all avenues leading to the freedom bestowing code, enshrined in the last revelation. Instead of enjoying ample rewards for promoting real Islam, they invented ridiculous rites and rituals, which do not carry even an iota of common sense. They killed Hussain themselves [blamed others for the act] and then turned his commemoration into a yearly event of sacrament or self-punishment. What a dastardly façade they arrange every year, which has no relevance to the tenets of the Qur’an. As a student of the Qur’an, I firmly believe that Shi’ah, Sunni and numerous other sects collectively constitute the main obstacle in the establishment of a government based upon the constitution presented by the Book of Allah.

The five daily prayers are fabrication of the Islamic priesthood. According to the Qur’an, Mohammad never prayed like that in his entire life Moreover, the Qur’an does not direct people to practice such imperceptive and time wasting rituals [like faraz, sunnat, naffal, viter, traveeh, and tahajud prayers or indulging in darood-o-slam].

The five daily prayers, azzan, praising Mohammad, celebration of Eid , Eid-ul-Adha, [slaughtering the lamb in the name of Sunnah of prophet Abraham] are against the principles enunciated by the Qur’an and are nothing, but rituals synthesized by the Islamic priesthoo d.

C-12- Several things bothered me about Islam. First, why was it necessary for Muhammad to kill so many people in the course of his prophecy

Leaving one’s religion seems suicidal Each of all of the thousands mosques became the ideological powerhouses of the mass-killers and mass-rapers. All those 1.2 billion Muslims are wrong. They are trapped in a wishful utopia; a fancy romantic dream-palace called Islam. They take their life-force from the cruel instructions of the Koran and Prophet’s life. And the peaceful Muslims’ obsession in the name of faith (Imaan) actively strengthens the killer Islamists. Muslims are taught to blindly believe every word of Koran and save the letters and words of the Koran/Hadis even at the cost of human lives of other sects, women and non-Muslims.

“Even if I am given the sun in one hand and the moon in the other, I won’t stop preaching”. And also I saw the same Prophet involved in slaughtering non-Muslim tribes, selling slaves of all ages, men and women, kids, youths and olds. I saw him driving his followers to kill others on the basis of faith, sleeping with his slave-girls, marrying kid, his lust (vividly described in our books) for his own daughter-in-law (wife of his adopted son), grabbing the properties of non-Muslims and taking their most beautiful women, having sex within days of the slaughter of the women’s’ husbands and fathers. Also I saw his extreme cruelty to establish Islam, cutting hands/feet off and passing red-hot iron on the I faced the truth of the mess of the Koran/Hadith. The Koran does not contain a single humane teaching, which was not there before Islam. Mankind will not loose a single moral if Islam is not there tomorrow. Saying good words is easy, all those Koran’s good words can be said by any conscientious person, even an atheist. The Koran has a big portion dedicated to clear violence towards non-Muslims and Jews. There is no question of so-called “misinterpretation”. You cannot misinterpret “Killing” as “Kissing” or vice versa. Muslims did not misinterpret wife-beating, marrying 4 wives, divorcing at will without showing any reason or excuse to anybody, sleeping with unlimited slave-girls, get involved in slave-business, “cleaning” the Arab Peninsula of Pagans, women’s half inheritance, women’s less credible witness in the court, laws crushing non-Muslims. Omar did not misinterpret anything but obeyed one of Prophet’s one of last three instructions when he “cleared” Arabian Desert of non-Muslims. Don’t we still see some of those torturous claws of Islamic “values” in some “Laws” of Nigeria, Pakistan Afghanistan………………….. ?

eyes of enemies before killing them, his cursing of non-Muslims,

The Koran has no chronology. Some 86000 elements are sorted, divided and blended there in a horrible messy way. For any single topic one has to jump around the whole Koran only to find one sentence here and another sentence there. Extremely important rules and laws are kept vague and dangerously left open to interpretation and application by people of any depth and moral. There is no conformation of the final instruction in case of different instruction on the same issue. The topic suddenly changes from North Pole to South Pole in the next line. Natural calamities are used as threats. Koran’s effort to trap people by scaring them is evident. An effort to hook people by lowly “bait” like sex with beautiful women in heaven is evident. These attitudes do not suit the grace and honour of a divine religion.

In Islam human beings are used as coins to buy God’s pleasure, as in case of freeing slaves for “cleaning” from sins. Rich people are preferred as being able to free slaves and to perform Hajj. Human beings are declared as enemy of God. Burning of meteorites in the sky is described as arrows to Satan. “Jinns” are said to climb to the sky to listen to the gossip of the angels. Prophet Moses is described as running on the crowded road completely naked. Monkeys were stoned for adultery. After it “sets”, the sun is described to prostrate to God to seek permission to rise next day. Newborns are said to cry because Satan pinches on its body. Yawning is said to of God’s disliking. Every aspect of Islamic attraction of the heaven is attributable only to the desert. Not a thing in the Koran is beyond the precinct of Arabia. All its Prophets and characters, problems and solutions, hopes and aspirations, incidences and accidents revolve only around the ancient Middle East. Not a single Prophet or character of Islam and Koran is beyond the Middle East; like all the gods of Hindus are from India. www.ladyliterature-films.com/TheSleeplessNight.htm

TELL ME WHY THE NATIONAL FLAGS OF MANY MUSLIM COUNTRIES HAVE SWORD IN THEM? A sword is not for shelving beard, it is only for killing. WITH THE HYPOCRICY AND CUNNING GAME OF SWEET ADVICE AND CRUEL LAWS, THE KORAN CONCLUSIVELY HAS EMERGED AS THE MOST DANGEROUS BOOK TO MANKIND.

The ritual of “Quorbani”, the “Sacrifice” did not do any good to Muslims for a thousand years. It referred to Prophet Abraham who left his wife and child in the open desert to die. Islam makes Muslims to criticise other social evils, but blind to see its own cruelties. To be honest, I always felt ashamed whenever I read my books of Sharia Laws, both from Sunni’s and Shia’s. Islam definitely cleared up some primitive social systems of the ignorant desert people of that time. But its claim to bring “light” to the whole world is an insult to previous philosophers and scientists of all the time in all the pl My 'apostasy' against Islam came about through a sustained critical analysis of the fundam Born into a muslim family from Morocco and raised in England It slowly dawned on me that the Qu'ran was not the infallible, immutable word of God but a fascist slur on humanity,a human document with little relevance to the modern condition as well as the realisation of the countless contradictions, historical inconsistencies and errors and some of the most intolerant verses ever written.

. I hate Muhammad, I hate the koran, I hate mecca, Ihate everything about it! How can help the world free itself the death grip of this psychopath religion How can a man of more than 50 years old have sexual feelings for a girl of only 6! After he gave me a dissatisfactory answer i just went quiet and walked away. I was out the door and i looked back, He looked at me and he put his head down... i think he knew i wasn't goingI cant comprehend the fact that a man of that age can fantasize about a 6 year old, and then have sex with her while she was still playing with her dolls! And why is it that a woman is lower than a man? is my mother lower than me? why is it that a muslim can have 4 wives? can a woman not have 4 husbands then? and why did mohammed have more than 4 wives? doesn't he believe in practice what you preach! Also how can i believe a man with such low moral character? how can i believe in a man who does t

hings which i myself find

They should DUMP this evil satanic cult immediately, and do with the koran as is done with all other piles of useless TRASH! - commit it to the FLAMES! Any way, thank you for your time, Thanks

MED KHAN

A12- I am quoting below the most repugnant and detestable segment of your remarks about Allah, Mohammad and the Qur’an called Islam in its totality, for asking you a simple question:

‘Leaving one’s religion seems suicidal each of all of the thousands mosques became the ideological powerhouses of the mass-killers and mass-rappers. All those 1.2 billion Muslims are wrong. They are trapped in a wishful utopia; a fancy romantic dream-palace called Islam. They take their life force from the cruel instructions of the Koran and Prophet’s life. And the peaceful Muslims’ obsession in the name of faith (Imaan) actively strengthens the killer Islamists. Muslims are taught to blindly believe every word of Koran and save the letters and words of the Koran/Hadis even at the cost of human lives of other sects, women and non-Muslims.’

Do you understand the Qur’an, the last revelation? If you say YES, then it means you are like millions of other people, who have no concept, what this Book is all about, because they suffer from mental aberration, being under the influence of fabricated Ahadith, synthetic Sunnah, distorted Fiqah, baseless Islamic Traditions and imprecise Islamic History. However, if you say NO, then I shall request you to first understand the Word of Allah, before making such vitriolic remarks. In both instances, you are neither doing justice to the subject matter nor the Messenger.

The first and the foremost problem of the Arabic illiterate Muslim Ummah is that basic demarcation between the Word of Allah and the filth created by the Iranian Shi’ah and Sunni Imams is not established. The parts of common verbal exchanges of Mohammad, reported, rather invented or self-composed by the malicious, nasty and wicked religious priesthood [conspirators], three/four centuries after the death of the last Messenger, are revered by the ordinary Muslims, equivalent to the verses of the Qur’an. Undoubtedly, that is the root cause of all problems. They must understand that the Qur’an is the Word of Allah, the creator of the universe and beyond, whereas writers of Ahadith, Sunnah and other garbage were vicious people originating from Iran. They had a score to settle with Mohammad the Arab, who overran their magnificent Empire with his ragtag volunteer force, when they killed his emissaries, without just cause.

I would be really obliged to you, if you would come up with a single verse of the Qur’an in support of your malevolent commentary about Allah, His last Messenger and the final revelation!

Your venomous outburst is completely based on the TRASH synthesized by the pseudo-Muslims Iranian Imams, in the form of Ahadith, Sunnah, Fiqah and Islamic history. One can guide the people along the right path, who are endowed with Allah given gift of intelligence, but one can’t do much about those, who are both deaf, dumb and blind or are incapable of utilizing their innate mental capabilities. Cumulatively, they constitute a herd of sheep.

Your slanderous and insulting remarks regarding the last Messenger of Allah that during his time, he was sadistically involved in slaughtering non-Muslim tribes, selling slaves of all kinds, including men, women and children, is nothing but a blatant lie conjured up by the writers of Ahadith, Fiqah and Traditions.

The blasphemy churned out against Mohammad that ‘he used to sleep around with his slave-girls, was in the habit of marrying kids or was a pedophile, loved to lust after [vividly described in the alleged Islamic literature] his own daughter-in-law [wife of his adopted son], enjoyed grabbing the non-Muslims properties and abducting their most beautiful women for his sexual enjoyment, within days of slaughtering their husbands or fathers’, is nothing but baseless filth written by the notorious authors of the ‘body of literature’ mentioned above.

It is imperative here to check up with the Qur’an about Mohammad’s social behavior and the kinds of commandments given to him by his Nourisher.

· The verse 33:52 pronounces openly, ‘Mohammad your are forbidden to marry any other woman, besides the one’s, who are already in your Nikah!’

Releasing servants from bondage or performing the redundant ritual of Hajj, does not absolve the crimes of Muslims rulers and religious leaders. The devious Muslims clergy has created this ridiculous misconception. The verse 47:4 forbids all kinds of slavery forthwith and uprooted this social curse that was prevalent in the pre-Islamic era. The Muslim priesthood borrowed this concept from the Christian kings, queens and their cohorts, despite the clear injunctions of the Qur’an against this derogatory and insulting human practice. On the contrary, the Qur’an declares every human being to be equally honorable in the sight of Allah and is only responsible or accountable for its own deeds [53: 39].

The current concepts of Jinns and Satan along with the degrading stories of Moses running naked through the crowd and the stoning of a monkey to death for committing the felony of adultery, originate with the ‘junk literature’ comprising of the fabricated Ahadith, synthetic Sunnah, despicable Traditions and distorted Islamic History.

You have raised an objection regarding Allah’s program of appointing all Messengers to the Middle Eastern region. It sounds to be a valid point, but shows complete deficiency of the Qur'anic literacy. In the verses 4:164, 40:78, 34:34, 7:101, 10:47, 13:7, 16:36, the Qur’an unequivocally announces to the whole wide world that Allah raised Messengers within every nation, on this planet.

It says ‘We have mentioned some of them in the Qur’an, whereas many others have been left out.’

Since the last Messenger came from the Middle East, Allah presented life sketches of the most important previous apostles, to show Mohammad the hardships they faced and the ways they adopted for completing their assignments successfully. If the last Messenger had appeared in China, then Allah would have introduced his predecessors from that part of the world to provide him the adequate knowledge of the region and its people for properly preparing himself to get on with his assignment. In that case, the Arabs might have asked the same question you did, about all Messengers appearing over there. Additionally, the Arabs were familiar with the previous apostles over millennia in their area and did easily co-relate Mohammad with them.

Your hostility towards the inclusion of the sword in the Saudi Arabian flag is way out of proportion. It is just a symbolic representation of power, as there are 50 stars in the American flag, showing to the world that these states are united to face every challenge to their unity and sovereignty. However, the Saudi flag was created almost half century ago, when the House of Saud established its dynasty in the Arabian Peninsula, which the Qur’an condemns in most powerful terms. The blade has no Islamic significance and so should not give you any qualms. However, if you look up the Coat of arms of various European and American countries, you shall find a huge collection of weapons and beasts of prey, beyond your wildest dreams.

Your remarks, ‘that the Qur'an conclusively has emerged as the most dangerous book to humankind,’ are not only obnoxious and derogatory, but show your ignorance about the last revelation. Coming up with that kind of sweeping statements, without making any effort on your part to understand the language of the Book, exhibits your mean and nasty nature. How dare you pass such derogatory comments about a document that is beyond your comprehension! You are not at all qualified to say anything of that sort. Better watch out your wagging and drooling tongue!

The ritual of Qurbani is not the ‘Sunnah of Abraham;’ it is another sadistic creation of the Iranian priesthood. Allah does not require any sacrificial lamb or a human teenager to be slaughtered in his name. The Qur’an does not support any of the concocted stories appearing for the first time during the 3^rd and the 4^th century Higra. Abraham, the most respectable Messenger of Allah, did not leave his wife, with a day old child in the desert. Sick Iranian minds weaved up such baseless cobwebs of myth from Bible literature and fable, in the name of Islam. The whole concoction is just a wash out. [To fathom the truth of the real event, please look up my book mentioned above.] My personal research, encompassing a period of 30 years, has proven to me beyond any doubt that the Qur’an is free of all possible omissions and commissions; similar is the opinion of Japanese researchers, who came out with a unanimous verdict that this book is free of all possible human errors.

I have already answered the criticism in the previous pages that the Qur’an does not sustain the concept of prophetic prophecies. The Greek Vestal virgins used to practice that ‘hocus pocus’ out of the island of Lesbos, close to the mainland. However, centuries later, this ridiculous tradition was adopted by the Jews, Christians and the Islamic priesthood.

You must always remember that Mohammad fought 75 defensive battles that were imposed upon him by his adversaries. As a general rule, Allah’s Messengers try their level best to avoid unnecessary bloodshed. For that very reason, each one of them migrated from his birth place to a safe haven for practical implementation of the constitution given to him and establish a government accordingly, ensuring peace, prosperity and security for the people. How could any Messenger of Allah go for indiscriminate killing in such an environment?

The practical example of Mohammad’s life was that he entered Mecca, the home of his worst adversaries, at the head of a 10,000 strong battle-hardened force, equipped to the teeth with most modern weapons available, but not a single drop of blood hit the ground. He did not go after the people for personal vendetta, who made his life miserable in that city earlier, but went right away for the establishment of the same kind of government that was working in Medina.

You have a right to hate the Qur’an, Mohammad, Mecca and every other entity associated with him, but before doing so, you must produce evidence from the Qur’an that Mohammad really married a six years old girl. In the absence of tangible material corroboration, your detestation is simply unwarranted and totally biased. There is no provision in the Qur’an for having more than one wife under normal set of circumstances, which means monogamy is asserted by the last revelation for normal times. Even under extraordinary conditions, there are about eight or nine conditions that must be fulfilled before getting involved with the business of polygamy.

[For more details, please consult my book mentioned above, especially the chapter entitled Nikah [wedlock]

However, let me quote, what Allah says about Mohammad, the Qur’an and Mecca:

· ‘Mohammed, you have the most composed, balanced and decent individuality on the face of this beautiful planet.’ [68:4]

· ‘Certainly, the Quran is a book that clearly explains Allah’s immutable laws and is a source of blessing and nourishment for those, who want to establish a peaceful society in this world.’[7:52]

· Ka’bah provides an International Center for peace and a safe haven for the weak and poor nations. Its main objective is to let the human race establish itself on its own, without any shackles impeding its progress. [5:97]. The ignoble sentiment of hatred for any one does not solve any problem, but in fact destroys the person being its victim.

Before rejecting or accepting any concept, the Quran suggests humans to use their Allah given gift of wisdom and intellect for reaching the right decision and the most precise action of the Ummah at this time would be to put the despicable ‘literature’ created in the name of Mohammad by his most awful Iranian enemies, the nasty and wicked Shi’ah and Sunni Imams.

Lastly, I would suggest you to please study my book, for the clarification of your doubts you have in your mind.

C-13: How many days did it take to create Heavens and Earth ?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quran-7:54: Your gurdian-Lord is Allah who created the heavens and earth in Six Days Quran-10:3: Verily your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and earth in Six Days Quran- 11:7: He it is Who created the heavens and earth in Six Days Quran-25:29: He Who created the heavens and earth and all that is between, in Six Days

The above verses clearly state that God created the heaven and Allah created the heaven and the Earth in 6 days. But the verses below stated-

Quran-41:9 : Is it that ye deny Him who created the earth in Two Days ? Quran- 41:10: He set on the (earth) Mountains standing firm high above it, and bestowed blessing on the earth, and measured therein all things to give them nourishment in due proportion, in FOUR DAYS… Quran-41:12: So He completed them (heavens) as seven firmaments in Two days and …

Now do the math: 2(for earth) + 4(for nourishment) + 2 (for heavens) = 8 days; and not 6 days.

A-13: Firstly, I would like to clarify the meaning of the word Rabbakum. The word Rabakum signifies the Sustainer, the Cherisher and the Nourisher of the whole universe and beyond; surely, there is no comparison between Him and the big horde of ‘Lords’ created by the British Royalty, who carry out all sorts of odd jobs for their masters.

Secondly, the word ‘Ayyam’ not only signifies a 24 hour day on earth, but carries much wider meanings in various verses of the Qur’an, like an epoch, an era, some specified time, a particular stage or phase of an ongoing process, an age, or a dimension denoted as Time, on cosmic scale.

In view of the above clarifications, the essence of the verse 7: 54, would be as follows:

‘Your Sustainer, Nourisher or Cherisher has created heavens and Earth in six stages, or six cosmological phases.’

Therein, the word ‘Ayyam’ does denote an ordinary earth day comprised of 24 hours.

Again, in the verse 41:9, the Qur’an pronounces,

‘O Mohammad! Question them [your antagonists], isn’t it ridiculous to compare and oppose this productive program with the human legislations [Like democracy, socialism, capitalism and others]. This constitution is from that powerful and mighty Allah, Who created the planet Earth, through an evolutionary process, in two astronomical periods.

The verse 41:11further elucidates the cosmic connotation of the verse 41:9, that We did not create your earth [living planet] only, but also shaped the whole cosmos within those two periods. The verse 41:9 is the extrapolation of the verse 41:11, with the supplemental superimposition of all heavenly bodies.

The most appropriate translation would be as follows.

‘We evolved innumerable [not only seven] worlds or We completed the cosmic designing and creation in two distinct ‘stages’ [from the primordial raw material, hydrogen; 41:10] and imparted physical, chemical and biological laws to each one for the best utilization with respect to its functioning and control. We have adorned the skies with shining stars [esthetic aspect of the creation] to present a magnificent spectacle, especially at night, to the human eye, instead of leaving there a horrifying deep void. They are secured in their orbits [by the ‘G’ force] and the entire universe is perfectly designed with respect to its immense expanse, through the application of Our ubiquitous and immutable laws.’

Tabulation, according to the Qur’anic math, six phases, segments or stages emerge; two time frames for the evolution of earth and the rest of the cosmos and four independent periods for the development of life on earth, in its present form and inestimable other habitable planets. The total works out to be: 2+4=6. Is it not simple enough to comprehend?

In order to facilitate the easy grasping of the meanings and understanding of the text, the original author of the Qur’an [Allah], adopted the familiar and comprehensive repetitive style in vogue at that time. Even in the modern times, the best way of getting an idea across is to explain it with appropriate examples.

Its creator, keeping in view the general comprehension level its readers, has presented the text of the Qur’an in a very popular and easily understandable format. Naturally, this Book is meant for the guidance of its common recipients and not the so-called exponents, who have been incorporating their own ideas for the explanation of verses, especially among the vast Arabic illiterate populace.

Allah has touched upon the subject of creating cosmos in many verses, but the most expressive, regarding the subject matter, are 7:54, 10:3,11:7, 25:59, 32:4, 50:38 and 57. These verses bear witness to the fact that this gargantuan task was completed in six stages. The Qur’an has repeatedly stressed upon the six stages of creation and in the verses enumerated above, this subject has been specifically discussed seven times in varying but exquisite, linguistic expressions, making it very easy for every Arabic literate person to comprehend. It would be childish to add up six stages mentioned in the seven verses, to come up with a figure of 42, as it would be totally erroneous from the vernacular, as well as, simple mathematical calculation.

Moreover, the modern mathematics is not an exact science. Have you heard about the most popular concept of the modern math, the Theory of Probability? What does it mean? Think about it! The Qur’an has provided the basic tenets for the people to apply and solve their day-to-day problems. It is not a treatise on mathematical theories and practice.

Q-14: Similar mistakes you can see in the verse: Quran-4:11, 4:12, and 4: 176 in inheritance law. In these verses one can see the total property after adding all distributed parties adds up more than the available property, i.e., totals become more than 1 which are: 1.125 and 1.25. How come ? A gross mathematical errors, is not it ?

A -14: To begin with you must improve upon your elementary knowledge of Fractions. General Fractions usually don’t add up to unity or one, except in few exceptional cases.

Here are a few examples for your consideration:

1. 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 = 13/12

2. 1/3 + 1/5 + 1/6 = 21/30 or 7/10

3. 1/3 +1/6 + 1/9 = 11/18

Thousands of such examples can be presented, showing that common Fractions don’t add up to unity or one. This is an erroneous concept to begin with, for which you are blaming the Qur’an. [Shame on you] Please brush up your primary level math. The fractions that add up to unity are as under:

1. 1/2 +1/2 = 2/2 or 1

2. 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 3/3 or 1

3. ¼ + ¼ + ¼ + ¼ = 4/4 or 1

Here also, the interpretation of the given verses is not only implicitly flawed, but way off the mark. Keeping in view, the rule of thumb prescribed by the Qur’an for the division of inheritance among the successors, the following aspects must be kept in mind:

In the Islamic society set up in Medina, the Qur’an decided that the share of a male heir would be twice as compared to that of a female. This rule did not drop down just out of the blue and neither was Allah’s intention of favoring men over women. Specific ground realties, infused by the Word of Allah in that social setup, formed the basis of this decision. These are mentioned below to elucidate the position a woman did command as compared to a man, especially, pertaining to the division of the parental inheritance:

· At the time of marriage, a female, surely, has superiority over the male, in the sense that the husband has to present Nahlah [in the form of a gift, or a piece of property, or cash, voluntarily and in accordance with his financial position] to his wife, before the consummation of marriage.

· After marriage, the wife becomes equal partner with her husband in owning all mobile and immobile assets. In view of this fact, she enjoys a better monetary situation, as compared to her brother.

In view of the above facts, a woman in the Islamic setup gets amply benefited through her marriage, as compared to her brother. In order to compensate him monetarily, his share in the inheritance has been fixed at twice of his sister.

The application of this simple rule leaves no confusion in the division of property left by any person to its successors. A few examples shall further elucidate this point.

Example No. 1:

Suppose a clear sum of $3,000.00, after taking care of the debts of the estate and the shares of other relatives, remains to be divided between a brother and his sister. According to the principle laid down by the Qur’an, the brother takes twice the sum of his sister. So he gets $2,000.00 compared to her $1,000.00.

Example No 2:

Here, one son and 10 daughters survive the deceased and the total amount left to be disbursed among them is $12,000.00, after taking care of other expenses.

As the share of each daughter is equivalent to half that of the son, then their 10 shares, in fact, correspond to 5 of their brother. Using simple mathematics, the shares reduce to 6, five belonging to the daughters and one to the son, making 5 + 1 = 6.

Now each share is worth $2,000.00, as the total number of shares [6] divides the total amount [$12,000.00]. Thus, the son gets $2,000.00, whereas the ten daughters get $1,000.00 each, out of the remainder, amounting to $10,000.00.

Example No 3:

If the sum of $ 7,000.00 is to be divided between one son and twelve daughters, the same procedure should be adopted. The son has one share whereas 12 daughters have 6 shares equivalent to their brother. Thus, the total shares are 6 + 1= 7. In this way, each share is worth $1,000.00. The son gets his share of $1,000.00 whereas the 12 daughters get $500.00 each, out of the remaining $6,000.00.

In view of the above-cited examples, the distribution of inheritance does not create any hassle at all. The procedure provided for is very simple and straightforward, without any ambiguity. It is the Islamic priest hood and, especially, the alleged Christian scholars of the Qur’an, who create unnecessary problems through their convoluted explanations. Moreover, the Qur’an presents clear-cut principles to be adopted for solving practical problems and is not a treatise on mathematical aberrations.

Here, it seems appropriate to mention that the Islamic priesthood does not recognize the right of grandchildren from the legacy of their grandparents, though the Qur’an commands otherwise.

Q-15: Allah’s Days Equal to 1000 Years or 50,000 Years ?

Quran-22:47: A day in the sight of the Lord is like a thousand years of your reckoning. Quran-32:5: To Him, on a Day, the space whereof will be a thousands years of your rekoning.

A-13: The correct exposition of above verse is as under:

‘O Mohammad! Instead of putting their mind sincerely to this constructive program, they challenge you to wreak upon them the promised punishment that you warn them about. Mohammad, go ahead and inform them that Allah never fails to deliver upon His promise! They shall face the consequences of their deeds at the appointed time. It is not in their interest to hasten this process up through their ridiculous acts of mockery and ridicule. It is definitely going to happen at the appropriate time, according to His Law of Retribution.’

‘In strict compliance with Our evolutionary process, every nation has to reap, what it sows. The good or bad effects emerge and materialize in the due course or Youm, as a consequence of the activities undertaken. Allah’s Youm or His unit of time is equivalent to thousands of years on your home planet, the Earth.’

In fact, the term Youm incorporated by Allah, in this verse, carries only a symbolic importance. The intention is not to establish any equivalence between innumerable time zones existing throughout the cosmos, but to bring home to the inhabitants of the entire universe, that Allah’s planning, pertaining to the completion of certain evolutionary steps, takes much longer, in comparison to the time scale of the planet Earth. The world history is a witness to the fact that the rise or fall of nations does not happen overnight, but it takes hundred or even thousands of earthly years to finalize. That extended period is what Allah intends to define as Youm.

In the verse 32:5, the term Amr stands out conspicuously and is the key to the understanding of its real significance. It therefore, requires additional focus, before getting on with the exposition of the said verse. The word Amr has a myriad of meanings, encompassing an order, a command, authority, power, dominion, a sign, a mark, a token and even the stones, which the Bedouin used to drop on their way, while passing through a stretch of unfamiliar desert for indicating the way back, on the return trip. The term Amr was Allah’s first order of the Youm, right before the creation of the cosmos. The region, where Allah’s physical, chemical and biological laws take shape is known as Alam-ul-Amr. What goes on in there is beyond the perception and conception of the earthlings?

There is another expression worth consideration, which is pronounced as Alam-ul-Khalq. This signifies a place where ingredients or constituents are mixed continuously to streamline the production of varying life forms. Conversely, it means an extremely productive location, where Allah’s divine planning remains in full swing and dynamism is the order of the day. In fact, the entire cosmos is Allah’s playground, where unimaginable events are taking place within every nanosecond.

To have a better understanding of the above concept, let us take the example of water. This constitutes the basic ingredient for the propagation of life. According to the modern scientific thinking, life can only take root only on those planets, where water exists and the environment is temperate enough to stay in a liquid form. According to the anthropologists, the first mono cell originated in hot and humid areas of the globe. Besides knowing the physical and chemical properties of water, we also know its structure; two Hydrogen atoms are attached to one Oxygen atom, in the form of coordinate bonds to create a single water molecule. The question is; who infused such inherent characteristics in these elements, besides Allah? The answer is no one, except Him. The scientific community has just fathomed the rules governing the elements and their specific characteristics, without creating anything themselves. Why energy levels, arbitrarily denoted as k, l, m, n, o, p by the atomic scientists, exist around the nucleus, wherein specific numbers of electrons can have a dynamic existence, is beyond the understanding of the experts in the field. The same is true about the rule of octet for the electronic arrangement.

Q-16: Quran-70:4: The angels and the spirit ascend unto him in a day the measure whereof is Fifty thousands years.

So, which one is it ? Is the day of Allah equal to 1,000 earth years or 50,000 earth years ?

A-16: In the realm of Alam-ul-Amr, Allah perfects the fundamental physical, chemical and biological laws that uniformly apply throughout the space-time continuum, with certain pertinent exceptions, which are beyond the scope of the current discussion. However, the definition of Youm, according to the Qur’an, is that period of time, which is required for the completion of a particular task undertaken by the forces at the command of the creator of the universe. A very logical example is that of the evolution of the entire solar system through a combination of spontaneous and regular changes. The completion of this process took a Youm, an arbitrary unit of time designated for each particular task. It is not measured exactly in 1,000 or 5,000 years of the earth’s time.

The problem in understanding this concept is that like the Greek people, the Arabian abacus was limited only to a thousand. They had no concept that numbers could go beyond that limit. They used to identify the number 1000 by the first letter of the Arabic lingo ‘alf” because the independent units of ten and hundred fell in love with each other to such an extent that they had no other way out except coming together to form a thousand.

Allah very well knew the numerical limitation of the Arabian Bedouin, therefore, the counting never jumped beyond thousands. It simply means that thousands mentioned in the Qur’an also mean innumerable. The symbolic connotation of one or five thousand earthly years can run into millions or billions of years. For instance, since the big bang, the universe has taken 13.7 billions years to reach the current status. This can be considered as one Youm or a combination thereof. In fact, it’s just an arbitrary form of counting, without any pinpoint accuracy. Anthropologists and even geologists use the same kind of technique, when dating the age of a fossil or a rock. It is never accurate and could be off by a margin of plus/minus 5 to 10 percent, which runs into millions of years on the geological scale. However, His every Amr takes its own time and is continuing throughout the cosmos at its own pace.

In fact, the verse under discussion has nothing to do with the Greek mythological fables of ascending and descending of angels or spirits, in a day, extending up to fifty thousands earthly years. It is all fictitious numbers game, which has nothing to do with the reality of the universe or life on earth.

Creation of the Heaven and Earth

Q –17: Which one was created first ? As you will see in the verses below, Allah at one time says that Earth was created first and another time he says that the Heaven was created first.

Quran-2:29: It is He who hath created for you all things that are on Earth; THEN He turned to the Heaven and made them into seven firmaments (Skies).

Now, does it match modern science ? Do you believe that, Earth was created first, after that, God created Heaven ? Modern science tells us that ? Or How come SEVEN firmaments (layers) ? Modern science tells us that, actually there is no such thing Sky or any roof over us, it is only a space with no known boundary at all. This verses simply reinforces the ancient idea of ROOF over us which i s called SKY, is not it ? How funny!

Quran- 79:27-30: Are you the harder to create, or is the heaven that He built ? He raised the height thereof and ordered it; and He has made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morning thereof. And after that, He spread (flattened) the earth

A-17: Yousif Ali has misinterpreted this great verse. Its exposition would be as follow.

‘The laws governing life and death of nations have been established by Allah, who has perfected the means of nourishment for the entire human race, besides other creations on the living planet. You must also establish a just society, based on an equitable and evenhanded economic system, so that every individual can have the necessities of life like housing, Medicare and education. Furthermore, if you look around the universe enveloping the earth, you shall watch countless luminous celestial bodies functioning harmoniously in the depth of Space. Allah fashioned countless cosmic entities of various sizes, masses and bulks. He accomplished all that on the basis of His infinite knowledge. Allah, who has created the entire firmament and maintains His authority in the cosmos by the introduction of critical equilibrium, through balancing gravitational force and heat, has bestowed up on you a similarly balanced economic system, for global implementation.’

In the above verse, if the word Summa signifies ‘after that,’ then your interpretation is justified; Allah first created the Earth and then other clutter in the universe. However, in this verse, the word Summa denotes a demonstrative pronoun, indicating distance [near or far and wide]. The Qur’an has employed the same word with exactly the same connotation in the verse 76:20.

‘And wherever you shall look in that wonderful society [the system established upon the Qur’anic constitution], you shall find all kinds of Na’eema [indicating a prosperous and flourishing way of living, where every imaginable item of necessity is available in abundance and within the reach of every person].

However, the Qur’an, in the verses 79:27, 28 and 30, has explained in unambiguous terms that Allah first raised the firmament and then hurled or propelled the Earth from its source.

‘O Mohammad! Go and ask your opponents [who are trying to block the path of constructive revolution], “Have you ever thought about your own evolution. Do you think yourself to be stronger, numerous and so difficult to create, as compared to the entire cosmos, with its fundamental physical, chemical and biological codes, uniformly applicable throughout the entire space-time continuum?”

Conversely, the creation of universe was not as simple a task, as we might have thought, whereas perfecting humankind was, relatively, an easier assignment for Allah in comparison to the stretching of the firmament.

He created the immense expanse of space and filled it up with gigantic objects, like galaxies, clusters of galaxies and super clusters, together with infinitesimally small quarks, including space-time continuum all around and created a perfect abode.

‘He raised all kinds of extraterrestrial entities high up in Space and shaped each one of them meticulously, to function precisely to His plan consistently, for producing the definite results.’

‘After that, He set asunder and expanded the earth by hurling it through space [originally elliptical like an egg], after it emerged out of a primordial cluster of gas and dust.’

The word ba’ada indicates that the earth did not come into existence before every thing else. On the contrary, it took shape out of an existing clump of primordial mass or got detached from the gigantic bunch of matter hurled out into space by the Sun.

In fact, the Qur’an is not a treatise on Astronomy and does not provide a chronological order of events that took over 13.7 billion years to reach the current state. The facts about the nearest neighbors of the Earth are mentioned to clarify certain contentious points with pertinent examples.

Q-18: Sunset and Sunrise

Koran teaches us that the Sun sets in a muddy spring:

Quran-18:86: Till, when he (the traveller Zul-qarnain) reached the setting-place of the Sun, he found it going down into a muddy spring… Quran- 18:90: Till, when he reached the rising-place of the Sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We had appointed no shelter from it.

Serious scientific errors here. Firstly, it is scientifically accepted fact that, the Sun never go down in a muddy spring. Secondly, this seems to presuppose a FLAT Earth, otherwise how can there be an extreme point in the West or in the East ? A sunrise there would be basically just the same as at any other place on this earth, at land or sea. It would still look as if it is setting “far away”. It does say, that he reached THE PLACE where the Sun sets and in his second Journey the place where it rises

A-18: The correct exposition of the verse 18:86 is given below. Please read it carefully, as it might remove the ambiguity created by the erroneous translation you have quoted.

‘So he [the Zul-Qarnain] set out on a course, till he reached the setting place of the sun and it appeared to him [Wajadaha] that it was setting in black turbid sea and saw some people living near by.’

It is just a metaphoric explanation of Sun setting in the vast expanse of an ocean. Have you ever viewed the setting of the Sun in an ocean, while standing on the beach? It appears to be going down in to the water. Please keep in mind that at the time of Mohammad, the common people had no concept of a spherical earth; it is just an allegory to bring home the point that the Qur’an is making in that Sura. The setting or rising of sun is not important at all, the message is important that Allah is trying to get across to the people of all times to come. The same is true with the sunrise. These events are just mentioned by Allah to elucidate the principles being pronounced. The screwed up translations of the text are wrecking havoc on the exquisite allegories and metaphors being presented.

Q-19: A resting place for Sun ?

Quran-36:38: And the sun runneth on unto a resting place for him. That is the measuring of the Mighty, the Wise. Quran-36:39: And for the moon We have appointed mansions till she return like an old shrivelled palm leaf. Quran-36:40: It is not for Sun to overtake the moon, nor doth the night outstrip the day. They float each in an orbit.

Allah is indeed a big scientist. Where is sun and where is moon situated ? Can anybody tell me how they could collide/meet/overtake each other ? Is the sun and moon are neighbors to each other ? I have the answer for this error: Ancient allah saw (bare eye observations) sun and moon travelling from east to west seemingly in the same Sky area or same path, yet they do not collide and causing day and night etc. Allah hardly could imagine that all these phenomena are simply due to Earth’s rotation and NOT by Sun’s rotation. Sun is stationary for Earth, because earth is stuck in the sun’s Gravity, like we are stuck in earth’ gravity. Allah never say any where in the whole Quran that, EARTH ROTATES. Perhaps Allah could not feel earth’s rotation.

A-19: At the very outset, I would like to say that very frivolous matters are being brought into the limelight, which tantamount to a mere wasting of time. Your main problem is that, personally, you are an Arabic illiterate and do not know what message the verses are conveying for the uplift of the people. Depending on flawed translations is your biggest handicap. Undoubtedly, the Sun is revolving around a hypothetical center, along with all its planets and their moons for the last 5 billion years. The Qur’an calls this status as its temporary abode, meaning thereby a steady state for a considerable length of time. However, in another estimated 4.5 to 5.0 billion years, it shall leave its current abode and eventually turn into a black hole. That shall constitute the spontaneous change. [36:38]

Every event in the cosmos is taking place in accordance with Allah’s directives, which reflects upon his might that He incorporates with a blend of unbounded wisdom and infinite knowledge.

Regarding your comments, ‘Allah never say any where in the whole Quran that, EARTH ROTATES. Perhaps Allah could not feel earth’s rotation,’ presented herewith is the verse 79:30, that puts forth the reality in focus:

The Qur’an has specifically used the term dahaha for the creation of the earth. It really signifies, hurling out a blob of mass in space by a massive donor. The simplest example is that of spin bowler, who throws the ball along a certain trajectory with an axial spin. This word dahaha means that the earth was tossed out into the outer space by a colossal body [which the modern Astronomers identify to be the Sun] along a specific path [inducing revolution], with rotation along its axis. This reality, pertaining to earth’s creation, has been explained in at length, vides the verse 31:10 and has been touched upon in 26:15.

According to the cumulative cutting edge knowledge of Astronomy, there are only two forces that are keeping harmony within the expanding universe; one is heat and the other is gravity. The Qur’an mentions both forces, just to show the reader that more than 150 billion galaxies exist and function under a meticulously designed program by the creator of the cosmos. The purpose is not to teach Astronomy to the reader, but to give an idea that He, who commands the space-time continuum, has presented a constitution to the whole humanity for making the best of their lives in this world and in the hereafter.

Q –20: A resting place for sun WAS CONFIRMED BY HADITHS ?

Sahih Bukhari Hadiths: Abzur Ghifari (ra) narrated: one day Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) asked me, “Abzar do you know after setting where does Sun go?” I replied, I do not know, only Allah’s apostle can say better. Then Prophet (SA) replied, “After setting, the sun remains prostrated under Allah’s Aro ’sh and waits for allah’s command for rising again in the East. Day will come when sun will not get permission to rise again and Qeyamot will fall upon earth”.

Can anybody tell me what is it ? It was the superstitious belief of ancient people reflected in the Quran and Hadiths by Allah. A 10 year old boy would not tell such fairy tale story today.

A-20: The story about the setting sun that you have presented above is not mentioned, anywhere, in the Qur’an. This Book presents the constitution to be implemented on this planet for having the best of both worlds. The Ahadith, Sunnah and Fiqah have nothing to do with Islam, as these were personally written by the Iranian antagonists of Allah, Mohammad the Arab and the Qur’an, some three centuries after the demise of the last Messenger. This was the biggest conspiracy hatched by them, against the Muslims, during the rule of the Abbasid dynasty, when they had the caliphs under their thumb. The confusion created by them has divided the Ummah into innumerable sects, who are killing each other even in the 21^st century.

Q-21 Why Allah created Stars:

Quran gives us further scientific knowledge by telling us that the stars were created by Allah as missiles to throw at the devils:

Quran-67:5: And We have (from of old) adorned the lowest heaven (sky) with lamps, and We have made such (Lamps as) missiles to drive away Satans… Quran-37:6-8: We have indeed decorated the lower heaven (sky) with beauty (in) the stars, (for beauty) and for guard against all obstinate rebellious Satans. So they should not strain their ears in the direction of the Exalted Assembly but be cast away from every side.

Thus, the stars are nothing but missiles to throw at devils so that they may not eavesdrop on the heavenly council. Once again we find how allah was high on his superstitious weirdness.

A-21: The most accurate translation of above verse is as under:

‘We have adorned the firmament with shining stars and have kept them protected from all possible destructive forces. That is why; the entire system is functioning so well, with complete order and discipline. We have explained at length the purpose of Our creation and exhibited the position of the stars, so that the real Satans [soothsayers, witch doctors, astrologers and priests] should not be able to rip off the simple and straightforward people by claiming, “We do receive hidden information about your destiny from the bright stars!” The lucid message of the Qur’an shall condemn their conjured falsehood, speculative assumptions and guessing games to be rejected by the society. The eternal commandments of the Qur’an shall expose their ugly reality to the people and they shall face abominable hell right in this world.’ [67:5, 15:17, 37:6-9 and 72:8]

Q-22 Sky/Heaven is nothing but A ROOF or Canopy over the Earth:

Quran-21: 32: And We have made the sky a roof withheld (from them). Yet they turn away from its portents.

A-22: In this verse, the word sky identifies the blue atmospheric envelope [due to the cumulative effect of water vapors] around the earth that extends up to 10 - 15 miles from the surface. The exposition of this verse should be as follows:

‘Your atmosphere or rather earth’s atmosphere very well protects the ground from the falling meteors and other cosmic debris, including deadly radiations. This is, therefore, evident that every object in this universe bows down to the sovereignty of Allah and follows the prescribed divine rules. Despite this clear-cut evidence, some stubborn, ignorant and dim-witted people still keep on rejecting the proof of His immaculate creation.’

Q-23: Quran-31:10: He hath created the heavens (Skies) without supports (pillars) that ye can see, and hath cast into the earth firm Mountains/Hills, so that it quake not with you; and He hath dispersed…..

A-23: This query has already been taken care off under the A-17.

Q-24 Quran-21: 32: And We have made the sky ( heavens ) as roof (canopy) well guarded

A-24: This query has already been taken care off under the A -17. Q-25: Quran-2: 22: Who has made the earth your couch, And the heavens (Sky) your canop Modern science tells us- whole thing around the earth is space and there is no boundary even we go Billions of Trillions of miles in all direction. Questions are: When there is no sky above us then how in the world, question of pillars comes ? Do we really have a roof above us ? Is there a canopy (Shamiaa’na) above the earth ? In most Bengali translated Quran all Maulanas writes: Allah akashke samiaana bannei-ese . Is there anything called above or bellow in true sense ? Are mountains there to prevent earth from shaking ? Give me a break !

A-25: The correct exposition of the verses referred above is as follows:

‘You shall find protection from hazards and vicissitudes of life only within the universal system of Rububiyat [nourishing system of the Qur’an], according to which Allah has turned the Earth into a safe abode [like a mother’s womb] for you and scattered innumerable stars and planets in space, which stay in their precise orbits through the mutually acting potent gravitational force, acting at right angle throughout the universe. Allah has also made arrangements for the clouds to pour down life inducing rain, in order to provide you with the means of nourishment. Evidently, this grandiose sustenance setup has been granted to you free of charge; however, Allah remains the sole Owner and Master of these abundant resources, and permits you to utilize them, but never to block their use for others. Therefore, be vigilant, and do not let an individual or a group of people to reserve them for their personal utilization or their progeney. If that ever happens, it would tantamount to shrik [revolt], or assigning equals to Allah.’

In the above verse, the term “Shamia’na” signifies the earth’s atmosphere, which is wrapped around it like a cover and looks like a blue canopy on a clear day. The survival of life on this planet depends upon this protective environment that not only supports the floating clouds, but also acts as a powerful filter to keep out the deadly cosmic radiations from reaching the surface. Geologically speaking, the worldwide mountain ranges do stabilize the earth crust and were formed over billions of years, as a result of the ongoing tectonic activity or interaction.

The terms and expressions used in the Qur’an were in consonance with the mental capacity of the people and their understanding of their surroundings at that time. That is why; the metaphors and allegories used in the last revelation allude to the commonplace objects and events of that era. Please keep that in mind and also be assured that the Book of Allah does not have any clash with the modern cumulative scientific knowledge, including latest discoveries and the technical advancement.

A word of caution and advice! Almost all expositions of the Qur’an are screwed up. The alleged exponents of the Qur’an, the world over, are copying, what was written by Iranian Abn-e-Kater in the 3^rd century Higra, who tried his level best to distort the straightforward message of the last revelation. He quite successfully created confusion and rift between the Muslim Ummah, which culminated in the formation of sects.

Q-26: Once again Allah considered sky as roof over the earth which will break/shattered during dooms day

Quran-78:19 And the heavens (sky) Shall be broken (opened) as if there were doors opens

A-26: The translation of the verses you have presented above does not make any sense. In fact, the concept of Doomsday, in terms of the total annihilation of the firmament is non-Qur’anic and has been borrowed by the Islamic priesthood from the Jewish and Christian fabricators.

With reference to the context, it actually means that with the implementation of the Qur'anic constitution, the powerful empires and their tyrannical monarchs, along with the domineering local leaders, who are opposing this constructive program, shall be wiped out from the face of the earth. Their secretive dealings and conspiracies to suppress their subjects shall be blown open for every one to see their ugly faces and the evil deeds that they had been carrying out against the commoners. It shall be an exposé of the kind that the world had never seen before.

Thus, in the above verse, the heaven [sky] is an allegorical representation of the despotic rulers or corrupt political leaders running governments through fraudulent and underhand dealings. The literal translation of this verse that the heaven shall bust open like a blown up building or its pieces shall fly over like the doors and windows of a blasted house is not doing justice to the Qur’anic quotation, with particular reference to the context. Scientifically speaking, the cosmos is not going to experience such a cataclysmic turn of events in billions of years. What are the cutting edge Astronomical projections about this event are beyond the scope of the discussion at hand. However, they support the Qur’anic viewpoint that the space-time continuum is a reality and the cosmic system within its grip is going to stay like that forever. There are certain unfounded computer generated patterns or graphics about the end of the universe, but they are too far fetched at this point in time. Please always disregard the unintelligent expositions of the verses of the last revelation.

Q-27: Quran-82:01: When the Sky is cleft asunder

A-27: Detailed explanation pertaining to this subject has been provided under the A-14. There is no need to repeat it here.

Q-28: Quran-69:16: And the sky will be Rent asunder, for it will That day be flimsy(soft

A-28: Please look up A-14 for the answer.

Q-29: Quran-81: 2: When the stars fall, losing their lustre.

A-29: Here again, the Qur’an talks about the stars not in the sky, but on the ground [in the form of petty governments or minor leaders, who were opposing the implementation of the divine social program in their areas of influence or were the supporters of the foreign big foreign powers like Iranian Monarchy and Roman Empire]. They shall face crushing defeat and their power shall be destroyed forever.

Note:

Sun, the symbol of utmost power, was inscribed on the flag of the Iranian Empire, whereas, the Roman ensign was decorated with the moon. The stars represented other small states, whose survival was dependent upon their close ties with those two dominant powers, sprawled on the geo-political map, in that part of the world. They had no other choice, but to join either of the two camps, as was the case in the cold war era, extending from the decades of 60’s to 90’s.

Q-30: Yousuf Ali comments in his Tafsir: beautiful blue sky overhead (which we take for granted in sunshine ) will be shattered to pieces. Modern science tells us that there is no such thing as roof/sky or any canopy over the earth, rather all around earth is a limitless space. Only Allah knows what will break/shattered or will get soft/flimsy or how doors will open, there is no wall, where from doors will come? In some Ayats Allah threatened kafirs by saying: “I (Allah) will throw broken pieces of sky over your head.”

A-30: Yousif Ali’s exposition or his Tafseer is not the last word on the subject. Almost all alleged Muslim scholars followed the translation of Abne Kater, the Iranian, which appeared three centuries after the death of the last Messenger. His work suffers from convoluted connotations of the Qur’an and is not worth the paper it is written on. Every Muslim must understand the last Book of Allah, utilizing the procedure provided in there. This way all ambiguities, created by these obtuse exponents of the Book, shall vanish forever.

Q-31: Sun and moon rotates:

Quran-31: 29: Seest thou not that Allah merges Night into Day and He merges Day into Night; That He has subjected the sun and moon (to His law), each running its course for a term (time) appointed

A-31: ‘The most appropriate translation of the verse quoted above should run like this:

‘The people, who are opposing the establishment of this peaceful system of government, have they ever thought about the immense importance of Time [the paradoxical unidirectional fourth dimension of the cosmos]. He created the Day [an active phase of life, like cascading and surging mountain rivulet] and the Night [a period of darkness] for rest and recuperation, to meet the challenges of the next day, head on. * He made the sun and the moon subservient to you. Each revolves around its prescribed orbit for a given time.His Law of Requital is fully applicable and He has full cognizance of all your activities at all times, which you carry on overtly or covertly.

*Note:

[However, the frontal memory lobes of every human brain keep track of all good and bad activities going on and that record shall provide the composite basis of His judgment.]

Q-32: Quran-21: 33: It is He who created The Night and Day, And the Sun and Moon; each of them Swim (float) along in its own course

A-32: The Qur’an has a unique and inimitable recurring style to instill the facts and realities, in the memory banks of the intelligent life forms on this planet and beyond. In the verse 21:33, the same basic thought has been presented in a slightly variant manner.

‘Mohammad make an open declaration to your adversaries, who are trying to block the path of this peaceful revolution, which comes from the One, who created the day and night on this planet through the axial rotation of the sun and the moon! Like these bodies all other visible stars are actively swimming in the space-time continuum [like strong swimmers] along their specific trajectories in order to produce the projected results.’

Q-33: Ayats mentioned above could be found over and over again and again almost in every pages of Quran. Because, Allah standing in the open Arab desert saw very well that, every morning SUN is rising from the east and gradually (appointed time or fixed time) setting to the west, and as a result, day and night follows. Allah truly mentioned this wrong knowledge (sun moving) of pre-historic people. Every time Allah mentioned sun & moon, He mentioned day & night, as if it is due to sun’s movement day and night follows. But surprisingly, all the hypocrite Mullahs giving false credit to Allah by saying: look Quran told about sun’s movement 1400 years ago which modern science only found out now. In real world, sun takes 225 millions of years to make just one complete circle through the solar Universe. And obviously this movement of sun has nothing to do with DAY & NIGHT of the earth. Actually, Sun is stationary for the earth in real sense, because earth is stuck to the giant gravitation force of sun and earth also move along with sun wherever it goes, just the way we are stuck to earth’s gravitation force and do not feel earth’s movement at all.

Why then, Allah was telling sun’s movement again and again. I have already mentioned above, why Allah was hysteric about sun’s movements. Now dishonest Mullahs are claiming science here. I wonder, why Allah has to mentioned about sun’s 225 millions year journey (which is even unbelievable to mankind) to tell about day and night ? What relation sun’s movement has with the day and night ?

A-33: Your thinking is totally off the mark, as Allah was not teaching Astronomy to the simple people of the desert, who were very well conversant with the daily occurrence of day and night. In addition, there is nothing wrong with this comment of the Qur’an that day and night follows each other and it happens due to the specific revolutions of sun, moon and earth along their specific trajectories. The verse 21:33 is a beautiful metaphorical representation of the movement of the most observable members of the solar system. They are really floating along their fixed paths and cannot deviate from it.

This example of Allah’s obvious celestial arrangement gives impetus to various contextual situations, wherever this line of reasoning has been used. The problem is that the translations of the Qur’an right from Ibne-Kathir are flawed and create confusion in the mind of the reader, instead of providing the true explanation.

A pertinent example from history may clear up this ambiguity. Galileo, the famous Astronomer of 17^th century spent a good part of his advanced life in prison, on the order of the church, because he said, that earth revolves around the stationary sun. The church believed the other way round; this clash made his life miserable. The church accepted their mistake after 350 years and apologized to Galileo posthumously.

To sum up this line of argument, it must be understood that sun also moves along its orbit with the whole planetary system, but the day and night are only formed with the specific rotations of earth and moon. It is also true about other planets, but the durations of axial rotations are different. Jupiter, the biggest planet of the solar system makes a complete rotates in 9 hours and 55 minutes. Every planet has its cycle of day and night and it occurs due to the rotation of the planet with respect to the sun and its moon or moons.

The movement of sun is also of crucial importance. If it had a jerky movement, like some of the massive stars, earth could never have been inhabitable. Or if it had been a Pulsar, the same could happen; we could be plunging from plus 200 degrees C to minus 200 degrees C intermittently and for billions of years. The smooth movement of the sun is very important for the formation of days and nights. On the other hand, if the earth had an elliptical orbit like Haley’s Comet, then the inhabitants of earth could see sunlight for only 5 to 10 years out of its 77 year cycle.

The verses of the Qur’an try to explain the realities of life by giving pertinent examples from the universe around us. Get that point with an open mind.

Q-34: Earth is spread out like carpet (flat)

Quran-15:19: And the earth We have spread out (like a carpet); set thereon Mountains firm and immovable;

Quran-78: 6-7: Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, And the mountains as pegs (anchor) ?

Allah was sure that earth is flat like a carpet and mountains are there to anchor the earth so that earth does not shake with us. Allah is really merciful scientist

A-34: Please remember one point that the addressees of the Qur’an were very simple minded people and did not have any knowledge of the cosmos. Allah in a beautiful metaphorical manner is trying to tell the receivers of the Qur’an about the visible reality spread all around them. They used carpets in their homes or tents for sitting down and Allah used it as a simile for spreading the earth under their feet. What is wrong with that? Those people must have understood it without any problem. It also means that the earth is spread like a gigantic rug and the mountains keep it in place. At that time they had no concept that the earth was round like a globe. This concept developed much later. In fact, the mountain ranges do regulate the tectonic activity, as the mountains originated due to the plate collision. A very pertinent example is that of Himalayas and the Karakoram ranges. These originated with the collision of the Indian plate with the Gondwanaland some seventy million years ago, when the Tethys Sea in between them folded up into the mountain ranges. Undoubtedly, Allah is the greatest creator, who nourishes the gradual and spontaneous changes everywhere in the cosmos.

Q-35: Man are created from Clotted blood ?

Quran-23:14: Then fashioned We the drop (semen) a CLOT OF CONGEALED BLOOD then fashioned We the Clot a little lump (foetus), fashioned We the little lump into bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, and then produced it another creation. So blessed be Allah, the Best of Creators. ( Bengali translated Quran said: “Zamaa’t Raokto theeke Manoosh banieesi” And this Ayat has been repeated again and again throughout the Quran ) Quran-75:38: Then he becomes a CLOT; then (Allah) shaped and fashioned…

Quran-96:2: Created man, out of a mere clot of congealed blood

There are serious scientific problems here:

Blood clot can not grow into anything. This idea also came from the Greek. Aristotle erroneously believed that, humans are originated from the action of male semen upon female menstrual blood which is absolutely an incorrect assumption. Quran’s assertion on Clot (alaqa) is completely wrong about human development, since there is absolutely no stage during which the embryo consists of a clot. The only situation in which an embryo might appear like a clot is during a miscarriage, in which case the clotted blood which is seen to emerge (much of which comes from mother) is solidified and by definition no longer alive. Therefore, if ever an embryo appeared to look like a clot it would never develop any further into a human; it would be a dead mass of bloody miscarrying flesh. Since Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) had some thirteen wives it is entirely possible that he would be very familiar with miscarriages.

Modern science tells us that, the formation of human embryo is a seamless continuation from conception to birth, hence there is no hard- and- fast boundaries of stages as Quran described. Quran described 4 stages which matches exactly with Galenic description of development of human embryo (which was proved wrong by modern science).

Creation of bones and clothing of bones with flesh: According to modern embryologists including Prof. Moore, the tissue from which bone originates, known as mesoderm, is the same tissue as that from which muscle (flesh) develops. Thus bone and muscles begin to develop simultaneously, rather than sequentially (as the Quran telling us). Moreover, most of the muscle tissue that we human have is laid down before birth, but bones continue to develop and calcify (strengthen with calcium) right into one’s teenage years. So it would be more accurate if the Quran had said that muscles started to develop at the same time as bones, but completed their development earlier. The idea that bones are clothed with flesh is not only scientifically completely wrong/false, but was directly copied from the ancient Greek doctor Galen’s hypothesis.

Also, the idea of saying : “made into bones and clothed the bones with muscle” came from the technique of making animal statue (Moorthy) out of rod and cement or mud. People usually make the skeleton (out of rod or stick) first and, then cover it up with cement or mud. This is scarcely a scientific description of embryonic development. It is rather a description of a lay man.

The Quran has used the

Which one is correct ?

A-35: The detailed anatomical knowledge that you are referring to was beyond the understanding of the simple minded Arabs, at the time of the Qur’an’s revelation. The Iranian Imams, [both Shi’ah and Sunni] the real enemies of the Qur’an were unable to change the original text, but they definitely corrupted the meanings of the Qur’anic words, terms and expressions. The most convincing evidence of this conspiracy is presented by the translation of the verse 23:14, regarding with you have raised an objection.

The right interpretation of the above verse would be presented after discussing the key word ‘Alaq’ in detail.

Expressing ‘Alaq’ as a blood clot only is doing extreme injustice to the Arabic literature, its lexicon, and the basic roots of the word Alaq. Understanding this word is of utmost importance for grasping the crux of this verse.

It also carries the following connotations:

· It signifies an object hung up or suspended. Additionally, it also means a strong bond created by a powerful sticking agent, which makes a couple of things stick together, like Crazy Glue.

· This word also denotes a very precious entity, having a very high estimation.

· A blood sucking red or black leech is also called ‘Alaq’, encompassing other worms categorized under that phylum.

The term ‘Moalaqa’ a derivative of ‘Alaq,’ is used for a woman, whose husband goes missing, or leaves her in a state of marital uncertainty. She can’t be categorized either as a married or free female and her life stays suspended in such a situation.

In view of the above definition of the crucial word ‘Alaq’, the exposition of the above verse should be as under:

‘In the first phase of evolution, We created life forms by mixing together inorganic and organic ingredients. Then, in the second phase, We created humans through the process of reproduction.’

Brief details of this process are as under:

‘The procreation begins, when a single male sperm, [out of about ten millions] fuses with a solitary ovum. After that incident a fetus begins to develop, which the Qur’an identifies as the elementary stage known as Alaq. This microscopic microbe adheres to the wall of the uterus and stays kind of suspended. This state of the budding new life is very precious, from the Qur’anic perspective, as it contains the complete Gnome together with the requisite materials to build a new live form. At this point, the Alaq just acts like a leech and lives off the blood supply of an expecting mother and is devoid of gender identification.

Surviving the initial developmental hazards, it them begins to grow and then turns into a lump, still sticking to the wall of the uterus. From here onwards, the bone structure develops, which are embedded in to the retaining muscles and tissues.

Among the Mammals this is the mode of procreation and all animals along with the human beings pass through the same process. However, they attain different forms dictated by their respective genetic makeup contained in the embryo.

The humans appeared latest in the series of life forms, some 120,000 to 200,000 years ago and are totally different from all other animals in various distinct faculties, like speaking, reading and writing. No other species possesses those capabilities.

Think about this reality that the Qur’an declared the process of pro-creation 1400 years ago and it is totally compatible with the most modern research in this field. Your problem is that you are totally ignorant with respect to the message of the Qur’an and your objections are just based on unsubstantiated information. To find fault with the last Book of Allah, you must first understand the language, the text and the syntax. Your ignorance is the cause of your confused mental state. You must remember that for raising objections about any matter, you must possess thorough knowledge about it. Better wake up, and educate yourself!

Your comments about Mohammad’s harem of some thirteen wives is baseless, as this information comes from fabricated Ahadith, a well thought out and planned Iranian conspiracy against Mohammad the Arab. His antagonists wrote these stories personally in his name, some 300 years after his death. There is not even an iota of reality in there.

On the contrary, as per Sura Al-Tahreem, he had only two wives before his prestigious appointment to the position of Allah’s last Messenger. Moreover, Allah declared in unambiguous terms, “Since receiving revelations, you are forbidden to marry any other woman, even though you do like someone special due to her exceptional charm and beauty. In addition, you are also ordained, not to divorce any one of your current wives or replace them with others. You better stay put in that regard.”

In the presence of such a command from Allah to his Messenger, could the latter dare to defy it and build a harem, as the Iranian conspirators are blaming him for, after a wide lapse of time, spread over 300 years. This must always be kept in mind that no messenger of Allah could ever go against his nourisher, especially in the presence of the code of conduct given to him.

All Ahadith referring to his harem are just a slur on his impeccable character and his stalwart personality; they are nothing more than a pack of lies synthesized by both the Shi’ah and Sunni Imams.

Q-36: Quran-2:256: There is no Compulsion in religion….

Quran-9:29: Fight those who do not profess the true faith (Islam) till they pay the polltax (jiziya) with the hand of humility. Quran-9:5: Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolators wherever ye find them and take them captive, and besiege them and prepare for them each ambush…. Quran-47:4: When you meet the unbelievers in the Jihad strike off their heads….

A-36: Allah, the nourisher and nurturer of the entire universe and beyond, has given the people open choice, either to accept or reject the Qur’anic code of life. He identified both the right and the wrong paths to them in his last Book, along with the option to select any one out of their free will, without any coercion.

Your objection regarding the verse 9:29, why non-Muslims, living in the areas under the control of an Islamic government, have to pay poll tax? [This term is inadequate to represent Jiziya. In fact, it’s a kind of protection tax.]

There is nothing wrong with it. The government has to make special arrangements for the protection of minorities living within its boundaries and that costs money; so they should pay a little extra to cover additional expenses incurred. This is very easy to understand by looking at the Muslims living in foreign countries, especially in EU or North America, who have to pay all taxes that are levied by the respective governments. No Muslim has raised any objection or shown reluctance to pay the taxes. They can object, why their hard earned money is being spent on the programs they do no benefit them in any way.

However, the non-Muslims living under the Islamic government enjoyed all rights and privileges like other citizens. There was no discrimination against them, because the Government established under the Qur’anic constitution insists up on the people not to live for themselves only, but also for the others. It is very simple to understand that the non-Muslims who are living within the boundaries of the Islamic system enjoy full human rights, safety and security so they have to pay some thing extra to enjoy that status.

All civilized governments of the world do not tolerate sedition. In some sovereign countries, the punishment for rebellion is death. The people working against the interest of the state are dealt with a heavy hand. That was also the case in the time of Mohammad. The Qur’an lays down basic rules for such situations within the state and with respect to the outside aggression. Please keep in mind that the nascent Islamic state established in Medina was extremely fragile and it was the duty of the establishment to save it both from internal as well external threats.

The guideline provided by the Qur’an in the above mentioned situations are as under:

1. Go and fight against the insurgents or the foreign forces, till they are defeated and destroyed.

2. Arrest them.

3. Lay siege around their communities.

4. If they give up rebellious attitude and want to participate in the establishment of a peaceful society voluntarily, then do not pursue them any longer. On the contrary, protect them and provide them with the necessary means of nourishment in order to turn them into productive citizens.

Your explanation of the verse 47:4, ‘whenever or wherever you confront the unbelievers in the situation of Jihad, chop their heads off is simply baseless and ridiculous.

If any aggressive force were attacking you from within or without, what would be your reaction? Would you welcome them and offer your heads to be chopped off? The Qur’an provides the entire humanity the right of self-defense and retaliation against the aggressors.

NOTE:

The Bush doctrine of pre-emptive attacks on nations, suspected of possible aggression against his nation, not only violate the UNO charter, but is also against the tenets of the Qur’an.

The correct exposition of the above verse is as follows:

‘If the opponents of this peaceful program attack you, then defend yourself with a counter attack, with full force. Chop off their heads till you prevail. In case of capturing them, either cut them loose, as a gesture of goodwill, or receive ransom for their freedom, with the proviso that they lay down their arms. Remember; humans are born free from the wombs of their mothers. This is precisely Allah’s command for the people, who wage war against others without any just cause.’

Here, I would like to know, what is wrong with the command of the Qur’an? Where is the permission for the Muslim army to use excessive force or convert the non-Muslims forcibly to Islam?

Q-37: Quran-2:191: And slay (kill) them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out such is the reward of those who suppress faith.

A-37: Your translation presents the fact that the opponents of this peaceful revolution expelled the Muslims from their homes, in the first place. Under the circumstances, the Qur’an provides the Muslims the right to defend themselves against aggression and pay them back in the same coins. What is so awfully wrong with this directive of Allah? The right of self-defense is recognized the world over and there is no provision under any law not to punish your adversary.

Q-38: Quran-8: 65: O Apostle ! rouse the believers to the fight ….unbelievers.

A-38: In the above verse, the Qur’an directs the Muslims to have proper training for all types of warfare and steadfastly work for the establishment of a peaceful society. If they follow that commandment, then one hundred of them would be powerful enough to defeat a thousand of their opponents. This directive is completely logical and ensures peace and prosperity of a powerful nation.

Q-39: Very often apologetics claim that, Islam is a religion of peace and there is no compulsion Yet, punishment of an apostate in Islam is, of course, death penalty.

A-39: Of course, the Qur’an insists upon the establishment of a peaceful and prosperous society, coupled with adequate security. But peace and tranquility can never be achieved through offering prayers or counting beads. It only comes through the maintenance of proper deterrence and keeping a fighting force superior in numbers and weapons, as compared to the potential adversaries.

Being an Arab and a Muslim, it is disgraceful on your part to be completely ignorant pertaining to the basic principles encoded in the Qur’an. Show me, where the Qur’an sentences an apostate to death! The Muslims clergy coined this term on their own, without presenting a single verse in its support.

If you so desire, you can rescind Islam with your own free will. Allah does not require your kind of Muslims, who are worst than even four legged animals. It shall give me pleasure, if you become a Hindu, a Zoroastrian or a Christian. Go where you can find peace of mind, without using your Allah given sense of reasoning and wisdom.

Q-40: In very many Ayats Allah claimed that, He has given this Quran in the easy and clear language so that, it will not be difficult to understand by the ordinary Arabs.

Quran-44:58: Verily, We have made This Quran easy in the tongue, in order that they may give heed.

A-40: Yes that is precisely true! Undoubtedly, the language of the last revelation is very plain, simple and clear to understand for them, who can comprehend it. But the problem is that 90% of the Muslims just read the text for the sake of Swab [Allah’s reward] and not understanding, what is being said. The fact remains that almost 80% of the Muslims are Arabic illiterate, then how can they have any comprehension, about the subject matter under discussion and the message being conveyed by various Suras or even ayas?

Ironically, Muslims are the only people on the face of the earth, a vast majority of which just reads the Book revealed to them, without understanding a single word. On top of that, they arrange international Qur’an recital competitions, giving the idea to the simple hearted Arabic illiterate Muslims, this is best way to pay homage to the Book given to them for guidance in every sphere of life. This attitude is not only ridiculous, but shows the demented collective thinking and attitude of a nation that feels pride for being recipient of the last revelation of Allah. Undoubtedly, they are even worst than the four-legged animals, which are considered dumb by most of the human beings.

Q-41: No matter which translated Quran we read, the Quranic materials remain same to us and every sentence is self explanatory and it does not take a rocket scientist to comprehend what is the message Allah wanted to transmit for Arabs. Yet, bigot Mullahs will always blame translators for Quranic contradictions/errors/inconsistencies etc. and will try to find lame excuse to cover up Allahs ignorance.

A-41: I agree with you because in all translations currently available, you will find countless contradictions and inconsistencies. However, try my book; in there you will find exposition of almost five hundred verses of the Qur’an. I would like to have your comments, if you ever go through it. It is now available at all bookstores of Chapters in North America and can also be obtained from Amazon.com. Orders can be placed online.

Comments:

Holy Qur’an is full of inaccuracies, contradictions, inconsistencies, redundancies, no chronology or chapters, Grammatical errors etc. One can find hundreds of contradictions/errors/inconsistencies in Holy Quran and above mentioned Ayats are just selected samples from the Quran. But still it is a miracle to those who are blind-folded bigot.

Answer:

The above observations about the Qur’an are not based upon on any concrete evidence. You are talking about grammatical and other mistakes in the last book of Allah; you are dead wrong. Japanese researchers have recently refuted your imperceptive claim, as a result of their extensive study. According to them, the entire text is free of even a single linguistic error. You being an Arabic illiterate, have no right to give such sweeping statements about the Qur’an. You should be ashamed of your irresponsible behavior.

“ The mind of a bigot is like the pupil of the eye; the more light you pour upon it, the more it will contract.”- Oliver Wendell Holmes

I fully agree with the quotation of Mr. Wendell Homes.

Finally, if any one of you still experiences any confusion or difficulty in understanding any verses of the Qur’an, please feel free to get in touch with us. We shall be delighted to do our utmost to clear it up, with the best of our ability, as the fact remains that people do face problems pertaining to the comprehension of the verses, due to the erratic translations of the purported exponents of the last revelation.
