Koran 2:148-150

2:148 For each [religious following] is a direction toward which it faces.

So race to [all that is] good.

Wherever you may be, Allah will bring you forth [for judgement] all together.

Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.

149 So from wherever you go out [for prayer, O Muhammad] turn your face toward al- Masjid al-Haram, and indeed, it is the truth from your Lord.

And Allah is not unaware of what you do.

150 And from wherever you go out [for prayer], turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram.

And wherever you [believers] may be, turn your faces toward it in order that the people will not have any argument against you, except for those of them who commit wrong; so fear them not but fear Me.

And [it is] so I may complete My favor upon you and that you may be guided.

Koran 2:148-150

Muhammad spoke about Allah in the third person. This means this passage is not the perfect words of the perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah. Thus, Allah is false, imaginary, and fictional, which means Islamic doctrine and Islam are nonsensical and false.

This passage is addressed to Muhammad from Muhammad pretending to be Allah. As such, this means that this passage is not the perfect words of the perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah. Thus, Allah is false, imaginary, and fictional, which means Muhammad, the Koran, Islamic doctrine, and Islam are nonsensical and false.

Note that the first sentence is a description, not a prescription. Generalising various religious communities that pray in different directions is pointless. Muhammad is describing – Allah is not prescribing. This means Allah, Islam, and Islamic doctrine are incoherent and false.

Also, note that prayer direction in Judaism and in Christianity doesn’t matter. GOD in Judaism and in Christianity is omniscient and shows this by accepting prayer in any direction or any position.

Note the repetition in 149 and 150 – Muhammad forgets his words.

Note the evil threat from Muhammad: “but fear Me”. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

The word “race” in “So race to good” seems wrong and is better replaced with “face good” or better “Do good.” This trivial improvement shows again that Allah is false.

Note the contradiction in that Muhammad tells “you” to agree with Muhammad, contradicting the description earlier. Muhammad’s incapable of coherently specifying a direction to pray to, to a supposedly omniscient god that does not need prayer, let alone a direction on a spherical planet.

Which way is Mecca on our round Earth?

Also note the change in prayer direction, or Qibla, is actually far more complicated in reality. Read Islam Qiblas.

This incoherence in direction means that the best replacement for this passage is: “”, the empty sentence.
