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.
