Preface

This book provides the reader with a concise and accurate understanding of Koranic subject matter

which often is misrepresented, misinterpreted or misconstrued. The Koran was created with a questionable origin, allows unrestrained abrogation (nullification of verses), and is rampant with contradictory verses and passages.

The Koran endorses The Bible as the authoritative foundation upon which the Koran is based in some verses, and uninhibitedly contradicts the Bible in others. The Koran literally contradicts itself (the Koran), science, and historical reality.

In verses such as the following; the reader is uncannily uncertain of the identity and the lack of information possessed by the writer, supposedly the omniscient Allah.

[9.30] And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!

There are several problems/concerns with this verse. What size is the Control group (The Jews) from which the information is attained? The Bible does not say Uzair is the son of Allah. Allah says “may Allah destroy them.” Allah wants to destroy the Jews?

It is difficult to reconcile Allah’s recurrent paradigm changes between the Bible and the Koran.

Allah says there is none who can alter His words. [18.27] And recite what has been revealed to you of the Book of your Lord, there is none who can alter His words; and you shall not find any refuge besides Him

You shall not find any change in the course of Allah. [33.62] (Such has been) the course of Allah with respect to those who have gone before; and you shall not find any change in the course of Allah.

Allah incentivizes fighting and death for Muslims; promises Hell to those who fight against Muslims, and discourages friendship except with Muslims. Allah insists that non-Muslims have vehement hatred for Muslims.

There is a mighty reward for fighting or dying in the way of Allah. Sell this world's life for the hereafter. [4.74] Therefore let those fight in the way of Allah, who sell this world's life for the hereafter; and whoever fights in the way of Allah, then be he slain or be he victorious, We shall grant him a mighty reward.

Those who persecute the believing men and the believing women, then do not repent, they shall have the chastisement of hell. [85.10] Surely (as for) those who persecute the believing men and the believing women, then do not repent, they shall have the chastisement of hell, and they shall have the chastisement of burning.

Do not take for intimate friends from among others than your own people. Others will inflict loss upon you, love what distresses you, and have vehement hatred for you. [3.118] O you who believe! do not take for intimate friends from among others than your own people; they do not fall short of inflicting loss upon you; they love what distresses you; vehement hatred has already appeared from out of their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater still; indeed, We have made the communications clear to you, if you will understand.

Many verses in the Koran have tremendous potential for abuse. Those who accept selected antagonistic verses from the Koran would certainly feel vilified, exhibit prejudice, and experience Persecution complex with comorbid delusions. Obviously, this mindset would facilitate instability and promote hostile inclinations in any group of people. Unfortunately, in the twenty-first century sixty percent of Muslims cannot read. If educated, and not victimized by tyrants who impose malicious beliefs; Muslims are loving, beautiful and respectful people.

In truth, Muslims are ordinary people. They are exactly like you.

Chapter 1:

The Origin of the Koran The Koran is believed by Muslims to be the precise and literal word of God revealed through the

angel Gabriel to Mohamed iteratively over a period of approximately 23 years from circa 609 AD to 632 AD. Mohamed claimed in a version of the Hadith (not the Koran), that God had revealed the Koran (Divine Revelation) to him. Muslim traditions differ as to the reliability and authenticity of the differing Hadith collections.

Sahih Al-Bukhara, Volume 9, Book 92, Hadith Number379"There was no Prophet among the Prophets but was given miracles because of which people had security or had belief, but what I have been given is the Divine Revelation which Allah has revealed to me. So, I hope that my followers will be more than those of any other Prophet on the Day of Resurrection.”

The Sunni Muslims believe the Sahih Al-Bukhara is one of the most trusted collections of hadith. The Shia believe that there is no book of hadith which is entirely authentic. Differences in hadith collections and interpretations have resulted in differing worship practices, disparities in shari'a law, and numerous religio-political disturbances.

Why does Allah refer to Himself as “We”

[2.125] And when We made the House a pilgrimage for men and a (place of) security, and: Appoint for yourselves a place of prayer on the standing-place of Ibrahim. And We enjoined Ibrahim and Ismail saying: Purify My House for those who visit (it) and those who abide (in it) for devotion and those who bow down (and) those who prostrate themselves.

If Allah is “One”, why does the Koran often use “We” when quoting Him? In ancient writings, the use of a plural pronoun to refer to a single person was sometimes utilized. The “majestic plural” pronoun could be used to refer to a single person of high authority. It is also referred to as the “royal pronoun”, and the royal "we."

The Ominous Occurrence of “We” which Extrapolates to a Demonic Source

We taught him the making of coats of mail for you. [21.79] So We. made Sulaiman to understand it; and to each one We gave wisdom and knowledge; and We made the mountains, and the birds to celebrate Our praise with Dawood; and We were the doers. [21.80] And We taught him the making of coats of mail for you, that they might protect you in your wars; will you then be grateful?

The Koran clearly states that “We”(Allah) taught man the making of coats of mail.

Additional confirmation from the Koran that Allah taught man the making of coats of mailis documented in the following. [16.81] And Allah has made for you of what He has created shelters, and He has given you in the mountains places of retreat, and He has given you garments to preserve you from the heat and coats of mail to preserve you in your fighting; even thus does He complete His favor upon you, that haply you may submit.

Substantiation of the deduction for the demonic source is from the Book of Enoch (Idris). Two chapters are referenced for context to elucidate the extraordinary significance between the divergent claims.

Book of Enoch [Chapter 68] And after that my grandfather Enoch gave me the teaching of all the secrets in the book in the

Parables which had been given to him, and he put them together for me in the words of the book of the Parables. And on that day Michael answered Raphael and said: ' The power of the spirit transports and makes me to tremble because of the severity of the judgement of the secrets, the judgement of the angels: who can endure the severe judgement which has been executed, and before which they melt away ' And Michael answered again, and said to Raphael: ' Who is he whose heart is not softened concerning it, and whose reins are not troubled by this word of judgement (that) has gone forth upon them because of those who have thus led them out ' And it came to pass when he stood before the Lord of Spirits, Michael said thus to Raphael: ' I will not take their part under the eye of the Lord; for the Lord of Spirits has been angry with them because they do as if they were the Lord. Therefore all that is hidden shall come upon them for ever and ever; for neither angel nor man shall have his portion (in it), but alone they have received their judgement for ever and ever.

[Chapter 69] And after this judgement they shall terrify and make them to tremble because they have shown this to

those who dwell on the earth. And behold the names of those angels [and these are their names: the first of them is Samjaza, the second Artaqifa, and the third Armen, the fourth Kokabel, the fifth Turael, the sixth Rumjal, the seventh Danjal, the eighth Neqael, the ninth Baraqel, the tenth Azazel, the eleventh Armaros, the twelfth Batarjal, the thirteenth Busasejal, the fourteenth Hananel, the fifteenth Turel, and the sixteenth Simapesiel, the seventeenth Jetrel, the eighteenth Tumael, the nineteenth Turel, the twentieth Rumael, the twenty-first Azazel. And these are the chiefs of their angels and their names, and their chief ones over hundreds and over fifties and over tens]. The name of the first Jeqon: that is, the one who led astray [all] the sons of God, and brought them down to the earth, and led them astray through the daughters of men. And the second was named Asbeel: he imparted to the holy sons of God evil counsel, and led them astray so that they defiled their bodies with the daughters of men. And the third was named Gadreel: he it is who showed the children of men all the blows of death, and he led astray Eve, and showed [the weapons of death to the sons of men] the shield and the coat of mail, and the sword for battle,

and all the weapons of death to the children of men. And from his hand they have proceeded against those who dwell on the earth from that day and for evermore.

The Book of Enoch(which predates the Koran by at least 500 years) documents that the demonic angel Gadreel is he who showed the weapons of death to the sons of men, the shield and the coat of mail”.

To reiterate, the Koran says: [21.80] And We taught him the making of coats of mail for you, that they might protect you in your wars; will you then be grateful?

One must plausibly assert the deduction that “We” in this verse of the Koran is Gadreel or Satan masquerading as Gabriel to Mohamed. The Bible attests to the fact that Satan and his demons can be transformed into ministers of righteousness.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

With substantiation from the book of Enoch; the voice of Gabriel in the Koran channeling information to Mohamed in verses [16.81] and [21.80] isa demon/jinn by the name of Gadreel. This compels acute and compulsory skepticism in the verity of the entire Koran construes a dubious if not sinister origin. [6.112] And thus did We make for every prophet an enemy, the Shaitans from among men and jinn, some of them suggesting to others varnished falsehood to deceive (them), and had your Lord pleased they would not have done it, therefore leave them and that which they forge.

The Koran is reverent about Enoch/Idris

[19.56] And mention Idris in the Book; surely he was a truthful man, a prophet, [19.57] And We raised him high in Heaven.

[21.85] And Ismail and Idris and Zulkifl; all were of the patient ones; [21.86] And We caused them to enter into Our mercy, surely they were of the good ones.

Some Verses about Truth

[28.49] Say: Then bring some (other) book from Allah which is a better guide than both of them, (that) I may follow it, if you are truthful.

[28.51] And certainly We have made the word to reach them so that they may be mindful. [28.52] (As to) those whom We gave the Book before it, they are believers in it.

[28.53] And when it is recited to them they say: We believe in it surely it is the truth from our Lord; surely we were submitters before this.

[28.75] And We will draw forth from among every nation a witness and say: Bring your proof; then shall they know that the truth is Allah's, and that which they forged shall depart from them.

[32.3] Or do they say: He has forged it? Nay! it is the truth from your Lord that you may warn a people to whom no warner has come before you, that they may follow the right direction.

[34.6] And those to whom the knowledge has been given see that which has been revealed to you from your Lord, that is the truth, and it guides into the path of the Mighty, the Praised.

[34.43] And when Our clear communications are recited to them, they say: This is naught but a man who desires to turn you away from that which your fathers worshipped. And they say: This is naught but a lie that is forged. And those who disbelieve say of the truth when it comes to them: This is only clear enchantment.

[34.49] Say: The truth has come, and the falsehood shall vanish and shall not come back.

[37.105] You have indeed shown the truth of the vision; surely thus do We reward the doers of good:

[37.154] What is the matter with you, how is it that you judge? [37.155] Will you not then mind? [37.156] Or have you a clear authority? [37.157] Then bring your book, if you are truthful. [37.158] And they assert a relationship between Him and the jinn; and certainly the jinn do know that they shall surely be brought up; [37.159] Glory be to Allah (for freedom) from what they describe; [37.160] But not so the servants of Allah, the purified ones. [37.161] So surely you and what you worship, [37.162] Not against Him can you cause (any) to fall into trial, [37.163] Save him who will go to hell.
