1. The
traditional Quran: The flawless copy from
heaven [from fantasy angel Gabriel]
"Quranic
speech is clearly superhuman, we find
everywhere a current plan that no person
could have invented." [text01]

1.1. The official version of the
Quran's genesis - a fairy tale with bones,
leather and leaves
[Islam Dogma: The suras came from the "angel"
Gabriel - an extraterrestrial]
For the believing Muslim, the Quran is the holy
book in which God was prophet Muhammad [2]
[2] "Muhammad" comes closest to the
Arabic spelling. The "h" is spoken as an implied
"x," the first "a" as implied "a."
telling people his revelations. According to
tradition, the Prophet retreated to a cave on
Mount Hira near Mecca, where he received the
so-called Meccan suras. He received later suras in
Medina. They all came directly from God and were
transmitted in oral form to Muhammad by the angel
Gabriel. Later, Muhammad passed the messages to
companions who memorized or wrote them down.
[Supplement:
Angels are the traditional representation of
extraterrestrials. The wings are the symbol of
beings that can fly and came from the sky].
[Islam dogma: The "Cairo version of 1924" is
the copy from paradise]
The central dogma to this day is:
"The Quran is not made on Earth, but
Muhammad received the text of God by the
Archangel Gabriel and transmitted it to the
world without any change 1:1. Each word is
correct, authentic and immovable, holy and
eternally valid. There is nothing in the world,
past, present or future which is not in the
Quran. The Quran version of the Caliph Othman is
the only authentic Quran as it was communicated
to the Prophet Muhammad. The Cairo version of
1924 fully corresponds to Othman's Quran and is
thus the identical copy of the original which is
stored in Paradise." [text02]
This is the claim that still applies today and in
which the Quran must be measured. This claim
should always be remembered in further reading
[p.15].
[The Quran with 114 suras - animal bones,
pieces of leather, leaves - and Muhammad is said
to have been illiterate]
The Quran consists of 114 suras made up of a
number of verses, 4 to 286 per sura. These suras
were traditionally transmitted by Muhammad to his
friends over a period of 23 years. This happened
verbally. Various people around him tried to
memorize the verses, some of them were written
down on animal bones, pieces of leather, leaves,
whatever was available. There was no systematic
collection of the individual sayings about
Muhammad's lifetime. Muhammad never saw his book,
he could not read nor write according to Islamic
accounts.
[A leader like Muhammad can neither read nor write
- this is a clear indication that Muhammad is a
lie].
In dealing with such materials losses could not be
evaded. The Prophet himself sometimes withdrew
suras or changed them, verses disappeared. Thus,
the writer Ubay testifies that the sura 33
(al-Ahzab) had 200 verses, but in the end there
were only 73 of them. Aisha, the favorite wife of
the Prophet, reported that she had kept a few
verses under the bed, but they were eaten by a
goat.
[Legend: Ibn Thabit assembling suras - 7
different versions - the Quran of Caliph Othman
- the Shiites do not accept Othman]
Shortly after the death of Muhammad his literate
companion Ibn Thabit began compiling the existing
documents, but there were soon seven different
versions. On the orders of the third caliph Othman
(reigned 644-656), Ibn Thabit, together with
selected helpers from the Kuraish tribe, again
created an error-corrected version that was sent
to the four capitals of the Islamic Empire,
Medina, Damascus, Kufa and Basra. This is the
"Othmanian Koran", the only valid version
according to Islamic tradition.
However, it was not recognized by everyone. The
Shiites, for example, complain that Othman has
suppressed and falsified suras in order to
exterminate the legitimate caliph Ali, whom the
Shiites refer to.
[The dictation of the Cairo Quran edition of
1924]
Today, the mainstream Islamic movement, by no
means the whole of Muslims, refers to the
so-called Cairo Quran edition of 1924, which is to
be based on the versions of Ibn Thabit and Othman.
It is postulated that this edition of Cairo
without error and deviations corresponds to 100
percent of what Muhammad was informed by God
[p.16].
1.2. Contradictions without end in
the Quran
[Senselessly incomprehensible order of suras -
only the comments are understandable, but very
different]
The Quran is difficult to read, up to the grade of
unreadable, many suras make no sense for the
reader, please convince yourself. The standard
answer of Muslims is that this only seems so,
because the Quran is untranslatable, only in
Arabic it could be meaningfully read.
But now it is so that the Quran cannot be better
understood in Arabic either. It is understandable
even for Arabs only on the basis of the comments,
for non-Arab Muslims not at all.
There are thousands of comments with thousands of
sub-commentaries. Some passages are interpreted a
dozen times differently. The 10th-century classic
commentary by at-Tabari covers 30 volumes, verse
by verse. Tabari is one of the recognized
commentators. But even he offers different
interpretations, and other commentators turn to
quite different interpretations.
[Why should the divine message in the Quran be
so meaningless and incomprehensible?]
According to God's own statement, the divine
message has been sent "plain and clear in Arabic"
for the Arabs to Earth. Why the confusion then? Of
course, because Allah's words can not always be
understood by man, that is the traditional answer.
Which did not prevent the Quranic scholars of all
time from calling their personal interpretation
the only true word of God of ultimate importance.
But there are more odd things.
[Illegal foreign words in the Quran:
Syro-Aramaic, Persian, Greek, Hebrew]
The Quran is full of foreign words, such as
Syro-Aramaic, Persian, Greek and Hebrew, for
example the often-used terms "dshehennam" (in
Persian: hell) or "taurah" (Torah, in Hebrew: the
law) or "logos." (in Greek: the word, the
message).
By definition, however, foreign words are not
allowed to occur, and every devout Muslim would
indignantly reject such an indication. But, there
are undoubtedly the different languages in the
Quran which were spoken in the region at that
time.
Also Arabic linguists confirm the presence of
non-Arabic words in the Quran, but the official
doctrine is still that the Quran could not have
used foreign words because it was given in pure
Arabic at God's disposal. [p.17]
[The "angel Gabriel" is said to have
transmitted the Quran to Muhammad in Arabic -
partly in accordance with the almost 100% lied
Bible]
Abdallah Draz, Quran interpreter on the Al-Azhar
University of Cairo, basically excludes any
possibility of foreign influence. Not even
Muhammad had the opportunity to misunderstand the
words given by the angel Gabriel, and there was
never any misunderstanding by his own reflection.
Because Muhammad himself had no idea of the
matter, he was ignorant of reading and writing, he
was the pure instrument of God, how could he have
contributed his opinion as an ignorant? He might
have recognized the falsehood of idolatry, but
could never know the truth about the true faith.
By mere thinking, he never had known anything
about events of the past, but in many parts the
Quran is corresponding with the Bible.
[Supplement: Bible is a lie -
Quran is a lie
According to the new archeology, the Old
Testament is almost by 100% a LIE, and many new
facts which are found out by the new archeology
ARE MISSING. The book with the new, Jewish
archeology is called: The
Bible Unearthed. However, this is
painstakingly concealed by the religious leaders
of the Jews and Christians. And from the fantasy
"Jesus" the new research has NO findings, but
one has found a "home straight": His
last events are all on one line. The
conclusion is that Jerusalem was built according
to the "Jesus" fantasy, and the Bible is also by
nearly 100% a LIE, and consequently the Quran
ALSO A LIE - by nearly 100% a LIE].
[Jesus in the Quran without a cross]
The Quran scholar probably did not trust Muhammad
to know the Bible. There are corresponding texts
with the Bible, but there are also big
differences. Islam, for example, recognizes the
existence of Jesus, but not his death on the
cross. The crucifixion of Jesus is one of the very
few religious episodes ever recorded historically.
[Supplement: No original documents
about "Jesus" available
Crucifixions have taken place, but documents
about a crucifixion of a Jesus are still missing
- that's all from the Christian Patriarchs 200
years AD. invented].
[Sister Maryam = Mother of Jesus - and Jesus in
the cradle speaks and holds the "book" in his
hand]
Even the chronologic sequence is sometimes out of
balance: For example, the Quran relocates Aaron's
sister Maryam (meaning Mary) in Sura 19 from the
Egyptian-Pharaonic environment of the Old
Testament without any problems into the Roman
period of Palestine converting her to be the
mother of Jesus:
"O sister of Aaron [Note: Aaron is the
Old Testament brother of Moses], your father was
not a bad man, and your mother was not a
prostitute." (sura 19:28)
And she pointed to him. They said, "How shall we
talk to him, to a child, in the cradle?" (sura
19:29)
"And he [Jesus in the cradle] said: I
am Allah's servant, he gave me the book [3] and
made me a prophet ..." (sura 19:30)
[3] Allah should have given Jesus "the
book" - so this also contains theological
explosive [p.18].
No Muslim would ever have the idea to doubt these
Quran texts even if they conflict with so many
historical facts or practical impossibilities.
[Contradictions in the Quran: example of wine
as a "gift of God" and prohibition of wine]
Furthermore, the reader of the Quran is struck by
the illogic and lack of meaning of many verses.
Some are obviously not where they belong in the
context, and there are many contradictions. At one
point, for example, wine is a divine gift (sura
16:67), other suras forbid to be drunk for prayer
(sura 4:43), and elsewhere (sura 2: 219) wine for
Muslims in general is prohibited. In sura 47:15,
believers are again promised wine in Paradise
("streams of water, milk and wine, delicious to
drinkers").
So what will count now?
The numerous contradictions are of course well
known and are officially described by Quran
scholars as "suspended" and "suspending" verses.
One verse can thus be lifted by another. According
to the doctrine there are up to 500 such
contradictory verses.
[Contradictions in the Quran: prayer in the
night]
Example 1:
Verse 73 of sura 2: "Rise to prayer all night
except a small part ..."
This verse is suspended by verse 20 of the same
sura: "The Lord knows that you rise to prayer for
nearly two thirds of the night, or half or a third
of it ..."
As a consequence, there is the instruction that
the night prayer may be strongly limited in time.
[Contradictions in the Quran: Inheritance Law]
Example 2:
Sura 4:7: "Men are left with part of what their
parents and loved ones leave behind, and women are
a part of what their parents and loved ones leave
behind."
The passage is suspended by verse 11 of the same
sura: "God tells you about your children: To a
male child, [p.19] is twice the share of one
female, if only females, over two in number, so
they get two thirds of what he leaves, if it is
only one, then she gets the half. Parents are each
given a sixth of what they leave behind when they
have children. Without children ... This is a duty
on the part of God. "
This means a modification of inheritance law.
[Contradictions in the Quran: Eternal fight
against all "others"]
Example 3:
Sura 2:190: "Fight with God's will
those who fight you, but do not exaggerate. God
does not love the transgressors [extremists]."
is suspended in sura 2:191: "And kill them [the
unbelievers] wherever you meet them ..."
Further suppression in sura 9:5: "When
the sacred months have passed, then kill the
unbelievers wherever you find them, seize them,
besiege them, and stalk them on every path ..."
Quran 2:190 speaks only of fighting, 2:191 speaks
of killing. Quran 9:5 repeats the killing order,
but limits it in time. This means that the
unbelievers may be killed, but the war must stop
during Ramadan, but again there is a freedom of
interpretation by naming months instead of only
one month.
Contradictions without end. The believing Muslim,
however, has no logical problem with it, because
everything is possible for God and is allowed:
Sura 2:106: "Whatsoever we abolish of
verses, we bring better or sames for it. Do not
you know that Allah has power over all things?"
1.3. The mixture of suras against
any chronology and grammar
[The mixture of suras: The more radical suras
of Medina, the theological suras of Mecca - and
the numbering according to their length]
The common practice is to give preference to the
later suras, the so-called Medina suras, because
they are the more recent. But who really knows
which the later suras were, after there was a
numbering simply according to their length? The
Medina suras are much more radical and more
practical than the Meccan ones, which have more
theological content. In many cases the more
radical statement is rated as valid, even if a
more liberal passage may be elsewhere in Quran
[p.20].
[Allah can formulate as he wants]
Considering that this Quran should have a divine
and perfect style these manners of handling are
rather irritating. But for a believer they are no
problem, because this method is covered again by
sura 13:389: "Allah is eliminating
what he wants, and he confirms what he wants,
because he is the source of the book." [text03]
[Suras with a double meaning - depending on
their emphasis]
Often, verses are also semantically ambiguous -
their meaning depends on their emphasis. For
example, one verse says: "There is no force in
religion."
This is read by some so that everyone can choose
his own religion. Other interpretations, however,
insist that the verse must be read as "there is no
compulsion in religion." Thus, Islam would be the
only possible religion, but within that certain
tolerances are possible.
[Quran scholars repeatedly invoke (swear for) a
"plan" of Allah - the order of the suras
according to their length]
The Quran scholar Abdallah Draz continues:
"The sentences are expressed in the most dignified
way, using the smallest possible number of words
to express thoughts of extreme wealth. Quranic
speech is clearly superhuman because it breaks the
psychological law that intellect and emotion are
always in a countering proportion. Considering the
structure of a sura and the whole Quran we can
find a present plan everywhere which no one could
have invented. "
This superhuman plan is that all suras are
arranged in descending order of length. The
longest suras are at the beginning, the shortest
at the end. Thus sura number 2 includes 286
verses, and sura number four 175 verses. Sura 111,
on the other hand, has only 5 verses, for example,
and sura 112 has only 4 verses [4].
[4] Sura 1, the "opening one," does
not count as a real sura, because it speaks to
God and cannot be from God, so. But if one sets
God's command "Speak!" at the beginning of this
sura, a sura can be read as an instruction and
yet can be from God. This trick can be found 350
times in the Quran.
[Chronological reconstruction is not taken
seriously by the "Islamic clergy"]
Through this arrangement, any temporal and
thematic connection is lost, and this leads to an
illogic, which is not good for the understanding
of the texts. Non-believing Quran researchers
have, with some success, reconstructed the
temporal sequence and logical assignment and thus
made sense in many passages, but received little
attention from the Islamic clergy.
[The suras are praised as "divinely perfect" in
heaven]
The Muslim main argument of the divinity of the
Quran is on a completely different level, namely
on an emotional level: The form, so the rhyming
prose of the suras and verses, would be so perfect
that it could never come from a human pen. For
every Muslim, the aesthetics of poetry alone is an
irrefutable proof of the divine origin of the
Quran. There are countless celebrating hymns about
the perfection of verses, every believer will
confirm the breathtaking poetry - even if he can
not understand anything.
[Critics are killed regularly]
It is now idle to judge the aesthetics of a
language that is not a reader's native language.
But at all times there were Arab personalities who
simply denied the Quran the aesthetic quality of
language - and these persons often enough paid
with their lives for their meanings.
[Numerous, grammatical mistakes in the Quran
should be "divinely perfect"]
Numerous grammatical errors are also known. Ali
Dashti [5]
[5] Ali Dashti (1896-1981), Iranian,
studied theology and history in Nedschaf. Shiite
cleric, later a journalist. He was a well-known
opposition politician with several detentions.
Imprisoned in 1979 by Khomeini, where he died in
1981.
lists in detail a whole series of grammatical
errors and syntactic impossibilities. He writes:
"The Quran contains incomplete sentences ... There
are foreign language terms, unknown Arabic
expressions and words that are used in ways other
than ordinary meaning, and it disregards the rules
of grammar, whether feminine, masculine, verb or
subjective, adjectives or adverbs, plus illogical
and grammatically incorrect pronouns that are
unrelated in some places." [p.22 - text04]
1.4. Source study is not wanted:
Quranic Arabic for the scholars - and the
preacher's orders
[Source study is not wanted: Muslims learn to
speak the Quran - but do not understand it -
"Quran Arabic", Gulf Arabic, High Arabic
"Arabiya" etc. - Example Nasser]
Every Muslim should have read the Quran at least
once in his life, and most have done so, starting
at the age of three to six. This is done so that
the teacher reads a verse in Arabic and the
student repeats what he had heard. After a while
he is able to speak the verses independently. But
when there is the question about the meaning of
the suras the boy can give no information. He has
learnt to recite the Quran but not to understand
it. For this he would need an education in Quranic
Arabic.
The Quran is not at all written in a commonly used
Arabic, because "the" Arabic does not exist.
There is the common language such as Moroccan,
Syriac, Egyptian, Yemeni, Gulf Arabic and so on.
These Arabic dialects can be extremely different
and in turn differ more or less strongly from the
"Arabiya", the high Arabic. The "Arabiya" is the
official language, it is only imperfectly spoken
by the populations. From the former Egyptian
President Nasser, a keynote speaker, is known that
he often started his speeches in the "Arabiya",
but changed key passages to the "Ammiya", to the
common language. Those were the moments when he
made the people's soul cooking.
[Source study undesirable: Quran Arabic only
understand the Quran scholars - the population
hardly understands the Quran, or not at all]
The language of the Quran, however, differs again
from the "Arabiya" and is not understood by anyone
outside of the scholarly circles. Even a Saudi
Arabian, thus a person from the country of the
Prophet, is overstrained with it. Only a
rudimentary understanding can be found with the
Egyptian, Iraqis or Moroccans, and nothing at all
understand the non-Arab Muslims of this book. What
does a Turk, Afghan, Pakistani, Iranian, Maldivian
or Indonesian understand from the Arabic content
of the Quran? Literally nothing - even if he can
recite it.
But the understanding is not expected of him at
all, because he will learn about the content by
imams and preachers who got this in most cases in
turn for their part [from other imams and
preachers before]. Hence there are many different
traditions and ways of interpretation within this
religion, and it explains why Muslim masses are so
flammable [p.23].
[Source study is not wanted: example cartoon
dispute: no one has seen the cartoons, but all
believe to the preachers and set fire to
buildings]
The news is circulating that in a European
newspaper, the Prophet was severely offended by
blasphemous cartoons. He was even portrayed with a
pig's snout. Hundreds of thousands, mostly after
the Friday sermons, go out onto the street, burn
buildings, there are wounded and dead. Not a
single one of the demonstrators, not even the
preachers who whipped them up, ever saw one of
these cartoons to form their own opinion. It is
not the general practice to discover religious
facts originally, but the right opinion is always
ordered.
[Interpretation of Quran: The Cairo
dictatorship - and Saudi Arabia Wahhabi
missionaries with Saudi "development aid"]
There is no formal supreme theological authority
in Islam, but traditionally Al-Azhar University in
Cairo has the authority to interpret the Quran.
The version of 1924 is the base, claiming to be
the only valid Quran for Muslims.
Since some time Saudi Arabia has been the main
exporter of Islamic development aid. The royal
family is financing an army of beards to all parts
of the Islamic world spreading the Saudi
understanding of the correct interpretation of the
Quran, "Wahhabism." Muslims who turn to Wahhabism
usually receive financial benefits. That's why the
long beards and totally veiled women, for example,
appear in the streets of Male, the capital of the
Maldives, which would have been unthinkable just a
few years ago. Wahhabism, this extreme form of
once only local importance, has become a
mainstream of Islam by the income of petrodollars.
[Summary: 114 suras came from the
extraterrestrial Gabriel and are without error
or fake - source study is not wanted]
Let's summarize the traditional understanding of
the origins of the Quran:
There are 114 suras with up to 286 verses per
sura, equivalent to about 600 pages in the Reclam
edition, and, according to the traditional
doctrine, these 114 suras were transmitted to
Muhammad by the Archangel Gabriel, and he passed
them to his followers word by word without error
or fake. However, not as a book, but as an
imaginary CD, because the transmission was orally
according to the tradition. The followers
memorized the suras or wrote them down
provisionally, whereby the material was sometimes
treated [p.24] just negligently. But even here
there were no mistakes and no error. Then several
"official" and very profound editions followed
over the years. The purportedly pure Arabic
language of the Quran contains many foreign words
and is unreadable even for Arabs without a
commentary. Numerous verses obviously do not
belong to the place where they are. The
arrangement of the Suras, descending in length
from the longest to the shortest, complicates the
classification. Nevertheless, there is still the
claim that every word in today's canonical Quran,
the reference edition of Cairo in 1924, is,
without error or mistake, this would be the word
of God without mistake or error and thus eternal
and immovable.
Let's look at what science says about it in the
next chapter [p.25].
