Koran 2:5

Those are upon [right] guidance from their Lord, and it is those who are the successful.

Koran 2:5

This sentence’s first phrase: “Those are upon guidance from their Lord” has the problem that those conscious of Allah need no guidance, and those not conscious of Allah, need guidance, and of course, instead of naming Allah, Muhammad names his title: “Lord”. This shows that as Muhammad is speaking about himself and his followers, this verse is not from Allah.

The sentence’s last phrase: “it is those who are the successful.” only works at best for Muhammad’s time and place, when Muhammad led his bandits into battle against peaceful caravans, peaceful villages built by peaceful Jews, and the peaceful city of Mecca, his own pagan Arab tribe, the Quraysh. We all know the first caliphate failed, the second ISIS caliphate failed, and routinely Islamic nations fail repeatedly, while Islamic terrorists and nations are forced to use western weapons, such as AK and 3rd class obsolete armored vehicles from Russia and China, just to be terrorists and be defeated in modern armoured battles.

As this verse is from Muhammad and not from Allah, we can replace it with: “”.
