Mansoor: Some more laughter hidden in The Clot and The Fig

Submitted by Plato (India), Mar 11, 2008 at 12:40

>> [96:1] Read with the name of your Lord who created (every thing), [96:2] He created man from a clot of blood. [96:3] Read, and your Lord is the most gracious, [96:4] who imparted knowledge by means of the pen.<<

It is not Vishwas who is making the "very very noble verses into laughters". It is Allah himself. He says he created man from a clot of blood. But elsewhere he says he created us from water, then again from dust and also from sounding clay. So which is it? Has Allah forgotten that he has created us from sperms and an eggs? Where does a clot of blood come in creating us?

Then Allah claims he imparted knowledge by means of the pen. Why does Allah require a pen to impart knowledge. Let us accept that He made the choice of a pen. But at least He could have given us accurate information. He tells us that he created us from sperm that comes out from near the backbone.

Totally wrong knowledge. He does not even mention, not here, not anywhere else in the Koran that the female egg has an even bigger role than the sperm to play in the creation of life.

He tells us that the sun sets in a muddy pool. He says the stars fall. To earth? LOL. The Koran is so full of nonsense science that if we go by this knowledge that Allah has imparted to us through the Koran we would still be stuck in the seventh century with its camel carts, diseases and their cures on wings of flies, talking ants and birds and such other wonders of His.

>>[95:1] I swear by the Fig and the Olive, [95:2] and by Tūr, the mount of Sinai, [95:3] and by this peaceful city,<<

Allah the ALMIGHTY swearing by the fig and the olive?? Why does He call Himself the Almighty? If he had sworn by Mount Everest, Allah could have revealed that He knew of places far away from Muhammad's ambit. He lost an opportunity to demonstrate his all-knowingness.

He also swears by "this peaceful city". That is really strange. Muslims always insist that Mecca was a madhouse with the Arabs at war among themselves and everybody around. So why is the Koran confirming exactly the opposite?? But what happened after the advent of Islam. Raid after violent raid by the mercy to mankind. And after his death, the ridda wars and his wife and son-in-law going for each others throats. His favourite companions felled by assassins, his grandsons murdered by fellow Muslims. Allah turned a peaceful city into a hell-hole.

>>[95:4] We have created man in the best composition, [95:5] then We turned him into the lowest of the low, [95:6] except those who believed and did righteous deeds, because for them there is a reward never ending.<<

Some strange logic by Allah. He creates man in the best composition and then turned some into the lowest of the low except those who believed. How can that be? If he created man in the best composition then how can he not be a believer unless there was some defect in the composition. So here is Allah admitting that He is really incapable of creating in the best composition.

>> The verses above are the clear message from your creator.<<

You just saw above that there is no clarity at all in Allah's message with His confusion about what is the best composition.

>> Nobody is putting pistol on your head but Allah wants you to understand the weight of his words.<<

Sez who? Not Allah. He does not just have a pistol but howitzers aimed at your head for he says: 3:85 If anyone desire a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him;…..

Read what Allah does to those who do not believe in Him:

40:70 - 73YUSUFALI: Those who reject the Book and the (revelations) with which We sent our messengers: but soon shall they know,- When the yokes (shall be) round their necks, and the chains; they shall be dragged along- In the boiling fetid fluid: then in the Fire shall they be burned; Then shall it be said to them: "Where are the (deities) to which ye gave part-worship-

Allah's words are very weighty indeed. Allah says in [95:7] So, what can make you, after all this, to deny the Requital?

It is weighty words like these from Allah that makes me deny the requital.

>> Then It is all up to you. Allah will provide you ample opportunity to behave, but if you fail…<<

Allah may have given me ample opportunities but he leaves me no choice by 3:85 so those opportunities are meaningless.

Regards

Plato
