Today I am presenting the disadvantages of the Qur’an on several stages. These disadvantages contain ambiguity, violence and a contradiction in its speech between the guidance and the values of the good deeds of its group. Most of the words of violence are found in Surats:
- Al-Baqarah.
- Al-Nisa’a.
- Al-Anfal.
- Al-Tawbah.
- Al-Noor.
- Mohammad or Fighting.
These surats are the source of problems in the Mohammadian world. If they weren’t in the Quran, the Mohammadian world would be more stable than it is now. Mohammadian believes that the incorrect words in the Qur’an are religious and stem from the worship of Muhammad’s god. The Messenger Mohammad didn’t write the Qur’an because he was illiterate. Every Mohammadian, male or female, who learns the Qur’an from a young age, grows up believing that erroneous words are normal in their worship. This is why we see criminal acts committed by Mohammadians against the law in local and international news. From the perspective of the criminals, their actions are considered normal and necessary. From the perspective of those outside the Mohammadian community, committing such acts is considered a violation of the law, humanity, and civilized society.
The major problem with the Mohammadians is that it lacks a supreme global religious center to oversee the Mohammadian community, mosques, imams, religious centres, etc., as is the case with other religions. If it did, its leadership would review those verses and decide to remove them from the Qur’an by now, to ensure stability and proper oversight of the actions of some Mohammadians who commit crimes against humanity.
Removing the erroneous words that incite violence from the Qur’an would be a significant civilizational step towards establishing a modern, revised faith that would be respected by people worldwide.
To achieve this, the responsible individuals from both the Mohammadians and non-Muhammadians communities should contribute to stability and should call for an international conference to discuss these difficult tasks peacefully. I believe they will reach a historic peaceful solution and foster strong understanding and excellent relations among all the world’s faiths.
Thus, Mohammadians will be shed from the stigma of being accused of crime, murder, and terrorism by extremists among them who learned these erroneous words, and their faith will gain respect and appreciation within the framework of humanity. A new era of peace and tranquility will then begin.
The Disadvantages of al-Qur’an Are:
The ambiguity and violence.
Al-Qur’an contains ambiguity, violence and a contradiction in its speech between the guidance and the values of the good deeds of its group. Most of the words of violence are found in Surats:
• Al-Baqarah.
• Al-Nisa’a.
• Al-Anfal.
• Al-Tawbah.
• Al-Noor.
• Mohammad or Fighting.
We do not ignore the sacrifice of the Messenger Mohammad in his jihad, according to his ability to spread his Mohammadiah creed in the worship of his god. He chose the beautiful slogan that he borrowed and launched in spreading his belief: ‘There is no god but God.’
This is the same motto of the ancient early Christians before the birth of Mohammad, when they wrote it on the lintels and on the walls of their homes at the entrance, when the Emperor Constantine the Great granted them freedom of Christian worship. Christians used to draw images in the form of a fish or a simple small cross to distinguish them from the worshipers of paganism. Also, it is the same idea of the Canaanite – Lebanese priest who introduced Abraham to the One Most High Supreme God when he arrived to the region from the city of Ur.
This slogan caught the attention of Mohammad and he was affected by it in his youth, when he became acquainted with and dealt with the Christian world; he took it to spread his creed in the peninsula.
Mohammad personally did not add a word to this borrowed slogan, but after his death his followers, the Mohammadians, added the words ‘Mohammad is the Messenger of God.’
Today the slogan reads: ‘There is no god but God and Mohammad is the Messenger of God.’
We appreciate Mohammad’s achievement in helping to eradicate paganism and liberate the tribes of the Arabian Peninsula from idolatry.
Mohammad was a messenger who came in the life of his time to the tribes of the Arabian Peninsula, a dangerous and ambiguous era in idolatry and different customs and languages among the tribes. He led his followers to worship god who he envisioned, created, believed in and preached about according to his words in the Qur’an.
Mohammad used violence, terror and murder and called on the followers to fight, humiliate and kill polytheists.
We do not know if this was his real speech or if it was entered/altered after his death. It is filled in the days of the altered successive and modified stages of writing al-Qur’an several times, from the orders of the caliphs during the war of restoration and the invasion of the region.
But Mohammad’s numerous invasions and raids attest to his accomplishments.
Today it is rejected to use the pattern of violence and killing among the high-ranking human being and does not correspond to the age and the advancement of the modern global civilization. This is what makes the civilized Mohammadian confused in digesting the violence of the words of al-Qur’an. He or she refuses within herself or himself to absorb some violent words. For the weak Mohammadian who was brought up on the approach of the Qur’an, it is inevitable that he rejects or opposes the violence of its words, because he lived and is living in a social environment imposed on him, his family and society to live, adapt and implement the Mohammadiah’s Shariah.
From time to time, we are surprised by a process of violence, terrorism and murder in various countries against humans and humanity. This is not a justification for any criminal act of violence and terrorism, of any people or creed, in the face of the laws and justice systems of the modern high civil civilization.
Some Mohammadians ignore mankind and humanity and think that achieving their goals is achieved by striking ‘humans and humanity’ by means of violence, terror and murder, because what they have learned and are learning from the ambiguity and violence of some verses of the Qur’an incite them and push them to carry out criminal operations and commit sins and iniquity.
Here, we present a case for the reader to prove our explanation that some violent words in the Qur’an breeds terrorism and murder.
In the city of ‘Saida,’ Sidon, which Jesus Christ used to visit, teach its people and work miracles in Southern Lebanon – Phoenicia, a disastrous criminal terrorist attack took place in 2013 AD.
We read its incident in the Lebanese media and it was broadcast by the entire international media. It was carried out by individuals who were affected by the words of violence and murder that are consistent with their Mohammadiah belief.
The person behind the planning and instigation of the operation was Mohammadian, along with his terrorist supporters. That Mohammadian adopted the sword of Imam Ali as his motto since his youth. He hung it himself on the architrave entrance door of the hallway of his home, where he lived with his family since his childhood.
Many of the Mohammadians have carried out terrorist operations and killed themselves along with innocent people of various faiths in different countries. It is not in our interest to interfere in their issues because they are outside the scope of our topic of explanation.
Al-Qur’an is the constitution, duty and doctrine of the Mohammadiah creed. Generally speaking, the religious and civil life of a Mohammadian is connected to and depends on it. But if Mohammad were alive today and carefully reviewing the words of the Qur’an with insight and understood how the civilized world developed with humanity in depth, that violence, terrorism and murder are rejected in the judiciary and justice among the majority of civilized peoples and if he witnessed with his own eyes how some of the Mohammadians disbelieved, committing the most heinous crimes in the name of his belief, certainly, he would erase completely the wrong words in the Qur’an that inspire and encourage violence and murder. He would condemn and will condemn those criminals who perpetrate crimes against the innocent people and his will and defile his belief.
Listen to what Mohammad said in Surat al-Baqarah, Verse 161:
‘Those who disbelieved and died and they are infidels; those are upon them the curse of god, the angels and all people.’
In Surat al-Nisa’a, Verse 29: ‘…And do not kill yourselves, for god was merciful to you.’
Those who blow themselves up against the innocent and not innocent are ignorant, unbelievers, criminals and against the words of the Messenger Mohammad and his god no forgiveness for them.
He also says in Verse 93: ‘Whoever deliberately kills a believer, his reward is Hell, to abide in it, and god’s wrath on him and cursed him, and prepared for him a great torment.’
Al-Qur’an and the Arabic Language
Mohammad did not write the Qur’an, because as I said before, he was an illiterate man. In the Noble Qur’an, he expresses the truth of himself clearly. Hear what he said in Surat al-Ara’f, Verse 158: ‘Say, O people, I am the Messenger of god to all of you, who has the kingdom of the heavens and the Earth. There is no god but he who revives and will die. So believe in god and his illiterate Messenger who believes in god and his words, and follow him, so that you may be guided.’
Whenever Mohammad came to the idea of the revelation, the close people of his followers, poets and revelation writers would write his words with his belief, the words coming down from god who understood and believed in. In the beginning, papers and printing, with the exception of papyrus in Egypt, were not available for writing in his time as it is today in our modern era, especially in the Arabian Peninsula.
Writers of the Messenger’s companions and other poets used to write his words and their writings on animal hides, bones, palm fronds, ‘leaves,’ flat stones and wood…This was the beginning of the development of the Arabic language and its launch to unify it, from the atmosphere of the dialect of the language of the scattered and difficult tribes, to a method and approach of good casting, refinement and sweet assonance and the quality of rhetoric and statement.
There are in the Surats al-Qur’an branching network of themes in its stories and explanation, as it was said in Surat al-Hijir, Verse 91. They are intermittent and shifting from one destination to another theme.
• Some of them call for moral guidance and piety.
• Some of them contain ambiguity that contradicts the science of logic.
• Some allow violence, terror and murder against the spirit of humans and the Spirit of God.
Most of them are repetitive in words and intent and they keep ending or tuning every rhyme of word in the manner of rhyming.
Despite that, the Noble Qur’an has modernized and unified the Arabic language with the elegance of its writing and its linguistic value due to the eloquence of its literature, the rhetoric and the statement.
During the era of Imam Ali Bin Abi Talib, the pious intellectual, he commissioned Aba al-Asoud al-Du’ouli, the adroit, nicknamed the King of Grammar, Method Syntax, to form the letters of al-Qur’an for the first time in order to reach the maturity of its literary language.
Al-Qur’an is the mirror of the Arabic language, which makes it stand out lofty with its poetry, powerful, rich, awesome and it does not bow down to the factors of the societies of the peoples of the time, who are full of changes, fluctuations, mockery, recklessness, decadence and weakness in their culture. Also, the Arabic language is a subjective reality of the civilization of the educated, conscious Arab world.
It confirms independently the Arab personality with pride, intelligence in the face of the entire world’s languages. Whoever ignores the Noble Qur’an ignores the guidance, wealth of literature and philosophy of science and wisdom. And the basis of the building moulds of the Arabic language rules and raising the promotion of her or him for the maturity of culture and knowledge.
The Qur’an Collection
Al-Qur’an collection is divided into three parts:
• The first part: It calls the human creature for guidance, wisdom, moral values and the worship of god that Mohammad created.
• The second part: There is in it a wealth of philosophy and science in the literature of writing the Arabic language.
• The third part: It reveals and allows, from some of its verses, violence, murder and terror in the practice of the Mohammadiah creed.
The words in the third part are wrong words that contain delusion, ambiguity, hatred and enmity in calling the human being to worship the god of Mohammad.
This is the defect in the culture of the Mohammadians’ world, because one of the priorities of the Mohammadians is for their minds to turn to the attention of the Qur’anic text. That is, the Mohammadian adapts his life’s desire and requirements according to the contents of the Noble Qur’an.
Global Human Communities
Human societies, with their diverse beliefs, are getting closer to each other than in the past in fraternal cooperation, respect, security, peace, respected freedom, science and health, the growth of trade, the development of industry and the improvement of the environment, to raise the rank of human life and civilization from bad, to good, to better.
When Mohammadians or others read these wrong words mixed with an evil will, the conscious, religious and non-religious reader is not consistent in his/her conviction and philosophy that calls for the worship of another god, or in focusing their minds and souls to address god who Mohammad calls to worship.
Finally, in the theory of Mohammad’s creed, everything is related to god. The art of science is not convinced of everything connected with god.
How many more innocent children who had to study the Qur’an at home, in the mosque or at school every day were brought up to memorize these wrong words?
Here in our debate or discussion, we are talking about the case of children learning wrong words that they believe are religious words necessary for their worship of the god of Mohammad and their dealings with the rest of the people.
If we ask psychologists and sociologists about this issue, there is no doubt that they will agree with our theory, that these wrong words implant in the child’s mind the idea of murder and encourage them to carry out criminal acts against the human being.
Why? Because these wrong words become normal in their faith as they grow up.
The intelligent, pious Mohammadians do not wish to teach their children these wrong words. But for those who learned them, they are lying dormant in their imaginations and growing with their souls, inciting and urging them to commit sins, violence, terrorism and murder against innocents and human life. This is something that is rejected and forbidden and is incompatible with the Spirit of God, justice and elevated human progress.
Globally, some countries are aware of these wrong words, which are inappropriate for raising and advancing human civilization and teaching them to future generations.
Their governments have taken drastic measures to prevent their education and studies and to give schools money for those who teach them under their policy, because their governments are convinced of their harm and danger to the safety of their people and the security of their countries and the whole world.
To be continue, until then take care and God bless you.
