Myths and Fabrications in and about Islam
Introduction
Over the years we have been quite amazed at the myths and often blatant
lies that have been advanced by many pseudo-Muslims and pseudo-Christians
concerning the Scriptures and the Koran and the people involved in the
structure of the Bible and the Qur’an or Koran.
We will list the many lies and blatant blasphemy advanced by the
authorities of both sides one at a time so that they can be examined easily and
refuted.
We have published a Commentary on the Koran and examined its historical
basis and the Chronology on which it is based.
In the Introduction we dispel many myths concerning the Prophet and his
origins and his family and his wife Khadija’s family and who exactly was the
Muhammad.
The Commentary is structured as follows in http://ccg.org/islam/quran.html.
It begins with the Prologue to the Prologue to the Commentary
on the Koran (QP) and then follows into the Introduction to
the Commentary on the Koran (Q001), The Pillars of the Faith
(Q001A) and the Chronology of the Quran
or Koran (Q001B).
The Qur’an was issued in an entirely different order to the numerical
sequence in which it appears. Understanding that order and what was being
accomplished in the revelation is critical to understand the message being
delivered to the sons of Shem and the Arabs generally.
The Surahs are listed in their numerical order with the Scriptures on
which they are based in the Q002 to Q114 series as listed at the url above.
The purpose and intent of the Surahs in their Chronological order is
explained in the Summary of the Commentary on
the Quran or Koran (QS).
Also the Qur’an was edited and added to over time contrary to the claims
of the Hadith and the Imams and Sheiks. Those edits and additions are contained
in Appendix 1 (QS1).
This text is added to the beginning as Q001C.
Much of the misinformation comes from the Hadithic sources that have
deliberately tried to corrupt the message of the Qur’an. The appalling lack of
scholarship and the poor education of the sons of Shem, and in particular their
women, have caused untold damage and hardship to the faith as they now see and
practice it.
So also the Trinitarian Baal system of the Sun and Mystery cults have
destroyed what has become Mainstream Christianity. The result is that virtually
the entire world has been consigned to the Second Resurrection and very few are
going to enter the First Resurrection from this age and the last many centuries.
The fundamental basis to the Torah is that it was delivered by God to
Moses through the Angel of the Presence at Sinai and we know from the NT that
this being was Christ or Messiah as the Archangel of the Presence (Acts chapter
7 and also 1Corinthians 10:4).
The Koran states clearly that the Laws of God and the testimony were
given through Christ to Moses and the prophets and he confirmed the Scriptures
through the Injeel or Gospels and the writings or Testimony.
Messiah was quite clear that Scripture cannot be broken and it is the
destiny of all mankind to become Elohim as sons of God (Jn. 10:34-36).
********
Scripture is Lost
The most blasphemous lie ever to emanate from Hadithic pseudo-Islam was
the lie that the Scriptures have been lost. That was circulated so the lazy
Imams could cut loose from the Laws of God.
Scripture cannot be broken (John 10:34-36) and it is of no private
interpretation (2Peter 1:20).
The Scriptures explain themselves and the Koran is absolutely based on
Scripture as can be easily seen from the Commentary on the Surahs and the
Appendix QS2 Index of the Scriptures.
How is this monstrous lie such a blasphemy? How does it strike at the very Nature of God?
Firstly, it strikes at the Omniscience of God and that Eloah/Allah did
not protect the Scriptures as though He did not know all true propositions and
that He did not know and take steps to protect His own laws and testimony.
Secondly, His Omnipotence is impugned because He is made out to be
powerless to protect His own instruction manual. He is thus also unethical
being morally obliged to inform those with whom He is to deal.
Also the same blasphemers make out that another paganised legal system
named Sharia somehow replaces the Law God had given to Moses and emphasized in
the Bible and the Qur’an.
God is not mocked. Every man or woman that teaches that Scripture has
been lost and the Law done away or that Sharia replaces the law given to Moses
and the prophets will be put to death on the return of the Messiah and the
Resurrection of the Patriarchs and Prophets and the elect of the Councils or Muhammads
of the Churches of God and the 144,000 and the Great Multitude.
They will wait in the grave of Sheol and await the Second Resurrection
to the Second Garden of Paradise and they will be subjected to reeducation and
training there and if they still will not repent they will be allowed to die
and their corpses placed in the Lake of Fire and their bodies burned and they
will be brought to mind no more.
The First and Second Gardens of Paradise are one thousand years apart
and occupy the area known as Eden and elsewhere on this earth. After the Second
Resurrection God, Ha Eloah or Allah’, will come here with the Throne as the
City of God to occupy Jerusalem and Eden (cf. City of God
(No. 180)).
Name of God in Islam and Christianity
The name of God in the Koran is Allah’ which is taken from the Arabic
derivative of the Aramaic which come in turn from the Chaldean Elahh. The
plural is Elahhin. This form is also used in the Bible text. The Hebrew form
was Eloah and the plural was Elohim. Eloah is singular and admits of no
plurality whatsoever. Ha Elohim refers to Eloah as The God. The Elohim refer to
the creation of the Host as Sons of God.
For this reason the name Allah’ was used being singular and admitting of
no plurality whatsoever.
At the time the Qur’an was written the pagans taught that the Gods came
down and had intercourse with females and produced sons and sometimes females. That
is the concept rejected in the text of the Qur’an.
The primary concept in the Scriptures was that we would all become elohim as sons of God as the Angel of
Yahovah at our head (Zechariah 12:8; Psalm 82:6; John 10:34-36). That is the
plan of God as explained in the Scriptures and by Messiah and the Apostles (cf.
Names of God (No. 116)
and The Name of God in Islam
(No. 054)).
Declaration of the Faith
Pseudo-Muslims make the claim of the Shahaddah: There is no God but
God. They then add the rider to the
declaration that says “and Muhammad is the prophet of God.” They then turn this
shirk or idolatrous addition to claim
that the Prophet is the last prophet of God. This claim is totally contrary to
Scripture and the declarations of God through the prophets. It seeks to limit
the power of God to speak through His servants the prophets and the Church and
is utter blasphemy. Not even a Trinitarian blasphemer would try to limit the
power of God in making such a claim.
The Bible is quite clear that there will be three prophets of the last
days prior to the Advent of the Messiah. The final Philadelphian church (Rev.
3:7-13) of the Last Days has the voice of prophecy from Dan/Ephraim at Jeremiah
4:15-16ff. Then God will send Elijah as He has promised in Malachi 4:5. Elijah
will be accompanied by the Patriarch Enoch who was taken and did not die
(Genesis 5:24).
The Muhammad is not a person but is the Council of the Churches of God
exercising the power of prophecy in the Ahmed or Holy Spirit over the period
from 27 CE through to the return of Messiah for the millennial system from 2028
CE. As the Temple of God the church has always had the spirit of prophecy from
Pentecost 30 CE.
Heaven
and Hell or the Resurrections of the Dead
One of the most bizarre tacks taken by the Hadithic scholars or imams
and sheiks was to claim that on death the individual goes to heaven following
the doctrines of the pagan Baal system and based on Hubal or The Lord at Becca
and then at Mecca.
The Koran is absolutely definitive that the dead are sent to the pit of Sheol
or the grave to await the Resurrections either the First or the Second
Resurrection of the Dead for judgment.
No one goes to heaven. Both Scripture and the Koran are in total
agreement and in fact the Koran is clearer than Scripture in this regard. Anyone
who claims to be either a Christian or a Muslim, which are in fact synonymous,
and says that when they die they go to heaven are neither Christian nor Muslim
and are in fact infidels and will simply be consigned to the Second
Resurrection and retrained. If they persist in their idolatry they will be
allowed to die and their dead bodies burned in the Lake of Fire.
Heaven and the 72 Virgins
Another bizarre claim by the paganised pseudo-Muslims is that if one is
killed in battle then one goes to heaven and is given 72 Virgins in heaven.
This claim has no basis in the Scriptures or the Koran and in fact runs totally
contrary to the express directives of the Qur’an or Koran.
The number 72 in fact forms the basis of the elect ordained by Christ
and is the number of the leaders of the Muhammads of the Church in any specific
year of the 2000 years of the 40 Jubilees in the wilderness. The virgins of the
144,000 of Revelation Chapter 7 are the Councils of the church who become the
executive priesthood of the Messiah and may be either male or female. To assert
they are female virgins given to some soldier killed in battle is absurd.
Death of Christ
Another strange claim is that
the Christ did not die on the stake and that the Qur’an teaches that he did not
die and was not resurrected. For all the reasons in the commentary on the
Surahs and as detailed in the Summary of the Commentary on the Koran (QS) below
these claims are simply uneducated and unfounded. They fail to comprehend the
claims being made at the time the Qur’an was issued.
Sacrifice of Isaac
Another false claim is made
re the Sacrifice of Ishmael rather than Isaac. The very best case in this
regard is that it was a rite of passage in the case of both but the Koran does
not make the claim that it was Ishmael that Abraham was to sacrifice and the
Scripture says definitively it was Isaac.
The issue is covered in the
paper Genesis 22,
Judaism, Islam and the Sacrifice of Isaac (No. 244).
Begotten Sons
The Scriptures and the Koran are misrepresented and it is claimed that
they deny the concept of the sons of God being created by God. The Koran is
abundantly clear that what was being refuted was the contention (by the pagans)
that God came down and fornicated with Mariam and produced the Messiah. The
Koran explicitly denies this fabrication and states clearly that God created
the sons by Divine Fiat or declaration and that it was then so. This function
is repeated a number of times in the Surahs as the Commentaries and Summary
explain.
Muhammad and the Name of the Prophet
Ahmed and the Holy Spirit
The uneducated of the pseudo-Muslims also claim that the Prophet was
also named Ahmed in total ignorance of the function of the Holy Spirit in
Scripture and the Plan of God. As explained in the Introduction to
the Commentary on the Koran (Q001),
Ahmed is the name of the Holy Spirit that was the Comforter sent by God
after the Messiah had been accepted as the Wave Sheaf at the Throne of God as
we saw in Revelation Chapters 4 and 5.
Also the name of the Prophet was advanced as Muhammad which was false
and as explained in the Introduction it is the name of the Council of the
church ruling from Becca and then Medina and elsewhere (ibid). As far as we are
aware his name was Qasim. We know that he only had one son and that was Ibrahim
whose mother was the Coptic Christian given him by the ruler of Egypt (cf. also
Pickthall). That child died.
The Calendar
Sabbath moved to the Sixth Day instead of the Seventh
Day
The Koran specifically ties the Sabbath to the Covenant at Surah 4:154. We
know without doubt that the Prophet and the church at Becca and in Abyssinia
were Sabbatarian Christians. The Prophet kept the Sabbath and the Holy Days and
specifically the Day of Atonement (cf. The Sabbath in the Qur’an
(No. 274)). The Hadith
deliberately changed the Sabbath to the Jumaah on Friday afternoon which was
the preparation period for the Sabbath. The pseudo-Muslims then failed to
observe the Sabbath and went to work instead and treated the Sabbath like a
normal day and worked on it (cf. also The Jumaah: Preparing for
the Sabbath (No. 285)).
If a person does not keep the Sabbath and moves it to either the Day of
the Sun (Sunday) or to the Friday then that person will be allowed to die and
then placed in the Second Resurrection for retraining. No person that does not
keep the Sabbaths and the New Moons will be allowed to live after the return of
the Messiah as decreed by God through the prophet Isaiah 66:23. The Sabbaths,
New Moons and Holy Days in the Feasts of God will be kept throughout the
Millennium as decreed by God also through the prophet Zechariah 14:16-19 (cf. Hebrew and Islamic
Calendar Reconciled (No. 053)).
The Food
Laws and Halal
The false doctrine has been advanced that the Qur’an provides for
different laws to that of the Jews and that the Jews imported false doctrines
from Egypt.
The reference in the Qur’an to the errors imported by the Jews refers to
the oral tradition of Kashrut and does not under any circumstances refer to the
food laws of Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14. The Qur’an or Koran specifically
ties the food laws in to the dietary requirement of both the Jews and the
Muslims of the church at Becca and Medinah in Surah 3:93.
The result is that the Hadith has corrupted the food laws and aside from
pork the pseudo-Muslims eat every foul and unclean thing that swims or crawls
on the ocean floor or sticks to the rocks. The result is that they have
stripped the Gulf of Oman clean and turned it into the world’s largest dead
zone, twice the size of Tasmania. The pseudo-Christians in like manner are destroying
their oceans, as are the Asians.
The Arabs also
eat camels at Eid having corrupted the calendar as above and using the
so-called dispensation of Surah 22:36. That text applies only to the poor and
destitute and is a corruption of the Laws of God and probably one of the
later additions to Surah 22 (perhaps as late as the later Umayyad), of which
there are a great many. It is inapplicable in any case to the Muslims who are
not of the desert tribes and are not poor and destitute and in need.
It is the duty of the ruler to provide clean meat, in accordance with
the Laws of God, to the populace on the Feasts, New Moons and Sabbaths in any
case. The practice of eating camel at Eid or at any time is a heresy and those
that follow it will be sent to the Second Resurrection.
Wearing of the Hijab & Burka
Pseudo-Islam has
adopted a false teaching and custom that females must wear a hijab or burka to
cover their heads.
This teaching
comes from the pagan idolaters of the worship of Baal or Hubal and the Sun and Mystery
Cults of Mesopotamia. It derives from the cult of temple prostitution in
particular of the cult of the goddess.
The prepubescent
young girls were placed into temple prostitution and served there for a number of
years until they were released to marry in their late teens.
On marriage they
wore the hijab and generally the burka so they could not be recognised by their
former patrons at the Temple. They were thus given some anonymity in marriage.
So also the Baal
worshippers took the veil or head covering into pseudo-Christianity.
The women of the
Prophet’s family flat out refused to wear these veils or head coverings and
declared that God had given them their looks and they were not to be hidden. As
they were not engaged in temple prostitution they obviously saw no need of
anonymity.
Female mutilation
The cult of female genital
mutilation is a most despicable and heinous practice. It is not condoned by
Scripture or the Qur’an (or Koran). Those practicing it will be punished and
sent to the Second Resurrection for re-education,
The practices of Purification and
Circumcision (No. 251) are covered in the text.
Predestination
The Biblical Doctrine of Predestination (No. 296)
had been totally corrupted and hence the capacity for pseudo-Islam to understand
the Problem of Evil
(No.118) and the doctrines of Sin and of Freedom and Determinism are lost
completely. The Philosophical issues are explained in the work Creation: From
Anthropomorphic Theology to Theomorphic Anthropology (B5).
The corruption of the
concepts has developed into negligence in the doctrine of fatalism to the
extent that civil authorities may not put up handrails or roof walls or
containments, contrary to Scripture, for safety, claiming that if someone falls
it is the will of Allah.
Pagan washing practices and
Ghusul
The doctrines of
washing before prayers has become so corrupted that pseudo-Muslims will make a
public spectacle of using public rest rooms like bird baths in washing before
prayers and bringing the pagan practice of Ghusul into the ritual and instead
of praying in their rooms or quarters they make a public spectacle of the faith
pretending righteousness even to the extent of rubbing their foreheads to
create a callous and praying in public streets to interfere with traffic
contrary to the instructions of Messiah.
The so-called Polygamy of the Prophet
The pagan devotees of Hubal or Baal were habitual paedophiles and
polygamists. Thus when they took over Islam after the murders of Ali and
Hussein they were faced with justifying the perversions and false teachings
through the life of the Prophet. They also were faced with localising the
authority to the dead Prophet and so they allocated the name of the Church
Council, the Muhammad, to the Prophet. They were also faced with the problem of
concealing the doctrines of the Holy Spirit or Ahmed and also the fact that he
married into a Jewish Christian Family which baptised him into the body of
Christ. They had to conceal these facts
by asserting that his name was Muhammad and that Qasim was really his son’s
name although that assertion rests on no solid evidence. They thus ended up
asserting that he had more than one name being Muhammad and then also Ahmad,
and then they had to assert he was Abu Qasim being the name of his son and not
the misapplied name of a baptised Christian leader of the church as applied by
the uninformed as an honorific to the priests.
The authorities are clear that he had one son from his Coptic Christian
woman. He was named Ibrahim and he died young. It is asserted by the Hadith
that the Prophet put her aside.
Also the Hadith is hopelessly confused as to the age of Ayesha when he
married her after the death of Khadija at Becca. She was asserted to have been nine
years old when he consummated the marriage (by some paganised Arabs). However, the
scholars dispute this claim and assert she was much older. There is no specified age for marriage in the
Scriptures and 1400 years ago they did marry young. Mariam was also young and
perhaps 15 or 16 when she was betrothed to Joseph.
To be a validly elected elder of the church of God he could only have
had one wife and that is clear from Scripture. See the aspect explained in the
paper Polygamy in the
Bible and the Koran (No. 293).
Alcohol
Alcohol is not specifically forbidden in the Koran. The Scriptures
provide for its usage on the feasts and as drink offerings and ceremonial
duties and the Gospels require its consumption for the Lord’s Supper and
Passover in order to attain the First Resurrection (cf. also Surah 5 and 73). God
specifically states in the Qur’an also that He will provide rivers of wine in
the Resurrections and during the Millennium.
The comments that the Prophet says that it does as much harm as it does
good is taken and used as a prohibition to prevent those who wish to become
Muslims from attaining the First Resurrection by destroying the Lord’s Supper,
Baptism and the Sabbath and the entire calendar (see Hebrew and
Islamic Calendar Reconciled (No. 053) and God’s Calendar
(No. 156)).
No other doctrines have done as much damage to the faith as these.
Taqqiya
The attitude of truth to the faith in pseudo-Islam is best exemplified
by the doctrine of Taqqiya where it is encouraged to use false statements or
lies to counter any arguments raised. Specifically it is used to lie to those
using Scripture or the Qur’an (Koran) itself to counter the false doctrines of
the Hadith.
This is a direct contradiction of the Ninth Commandment and results in
death and the Second Resurrection (see Law and the Ninth
Commandment (No. 262)).
The doctrine that teaches others to kill other Muslims if they leave the
faith has been developed so that it is a direct breach of the Sixth Commandment
and false doctrine and those that use it must be killed in like manner.
The Myth of the Arabic Koran, perfect and uncreated
It is asserted by
some Arab Muslims that the Koran was written in Arabic and was perfect when it
was written and no alterations were made to it.
That was itself a blatant lie as we see from the texts of the Chronology of the Koran
(Q001B) and the Summary of the Commentary on
the Qur’an or Koran (QS). There were many additions made to the Koran
after the Second Hijrah and the death of
the Prophet in the Hadith and afterwards as we see, especially in the
case of Surah 22.
The Myth that one must understand Arabic to understand the Qur’an
Also the Koran was
written and issued in different languages such as Persian and Berber and in the
areas in India and other areas. It is well translated into all the major trade
languages such as Indo Malay languages from the thirteenth century. Scholars
are familiar with and have commented on them for years. The Koran is read in
other languages in at least one third of all Islam if not more than half.
The Arabs are
scouring all Islam to collect and destroy the earlier versions in order to
establish this myth. This myth was established as a political ruse of Arab conquest.
From the Islam of the first Caliphs to the creation of modern Islam
Islam has developed using the Hadith to
pervert and destroy the original intent of the Koran.
The division in Islam is of the Original Faith
then the Four Rightly Guided Caliphs and then to the divisions of the faith
into Sunni using the later Hadith and the Shia teachings and the later Sufi and
other divisions.
Islam has been corrupted by the Hadith and the
traditions on the murder of Ali and Hussein when the church was driven
underground.
The
Hadith
The Hadith was compiled as
additions and so-called explanatory text to differentiate Islam from the
Scriptures and destroy its original intent and thrust.
The Hadith mingles facts and
some pseudo-Scriptural input to corrupt the original texts and over time has
become so corrupt that it has effectively destroyed the faith and placed all
who use it in the Second Resurrection or Garden of Paradise and not the First
Resurrection. The Hadith will be destroyed on the Return of the Messiah and the
First Resurrection of the prophets and the members of the faith. It will become
nothing but an historical curiosity in the millennial reign of the Messiah. So
also will the implementation of the Sharia be destroyed completely with the
rare exceptions of when it complies with Scripture and the Law of God.
The Myth of the Ka'aba
The Ka’aba was a shrine of worship of the God Baal in Syria and the
Levant which was allegedly made from a meteorite. It was taken to Mecca and
established as the Axis Mundi or world pole there under the worship of the god
Hubal which is just another name for Baal as “The Lord”.
The Ka’aba was encircled by the 360 gods of the days of the year on the
ancient pagan system which was coincidentally based on the 360 day prophetic year
of the biblical system also. These have been removed but the system is still
oriented in that way and the rituals remain unchanged.
The circumambulations of the Ka’aba relate directly to the animist
rotations around the world pole and have nothing whatsoever to do with the
faith in either the Koran or the Scriptures. All ritual associated with the
Ka’aba is of pagan origin and associated with pagan sacrifice of human children
and unclean animals such as the camel and has nothing to do with the faith. It
will be destroyed and the rituals stamped out on the Return of the Messiah in
both Islam and Christianity. Islam and Christianity will be called to
repentance over the next ten years to enter into the Millennial Sabbath Rest of
the Messiah.
