Koran 2:222-223

2:222 And they ask you about menstruation.

Say, “It is harm, so keep away from wives during menstruation. And do not approach them until they are pure. And when they have purified themselves, then come to them from where Allah has ordained for you. Indeed, Allah loves those who are constantly repentant and loves those who purify themselves.”

223 Your wives are a place of sowing of seed for you, so come to your place of cultivation however you wish and put forth [righteousness] for yourselves.

And fear Allah and know that you will meet Him.

And give good tidings to the believers.

Koran 2:222-223

Muhammad, in his Koran, addresses a sentence, verse, or passage to “Anonymous They”, with “they”, “them”, “he”, “your”, “the people”, and so on, without naming them. For more, read Anonymous They.

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.

Muhammad Allah commands Muhammad to: “Say” or “Recite”. This means that this passage is addressed to Muhammad, not to all people. Thus, this passage can’t be in the perfect words of the perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah. As it is addressed to Muhammad, in his time and place, his context, this also means that this passage is locked to Muhammad’s context and can’t be in the context-free, perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah with all its perfect words. Thus, this passage is part of Muhammad’s recitation, Muhammad’s Koran, which means Islamic doctrine and Islam are incoherent and false, meaning Allah is incoherent, imaginary, fictional, and false.

What’s the context of this passage? Its context is recorded by Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 2:222:

…Anas said that the Jews used to avoid their menstruating women, they would not eat, or even mingle with them in the house. The Companions of the Prophet asked about this matter…

Tafsir Ibn Kathir 2:222

This context is admitted by Muhammad with this quote: “And they ask you about menstruation…”. Thus we know immediately that this verse is a reaction to Muhammad’s bandits need for true sex education. A true prophet would have revealed true education before Muhammad’s bandits got this bad sex education lesson. So obviously this means Muhammad is ignorant and a false prophet.

Muslim woman: “What’s happening to me?” No answer from Muhammad, as he’s ignorant. Allah is imaginary.

Note Muhammad is unable to give Islamic education and advice to Muslim women about their bodies. This is inherently sexist, which is incoherent with the claim that Islam is for women too, and shows Muhammad’s laziness in handling a real problem that his bandits, wives and sex slaves faced. Muhammad is essentially telling the women in his bandit camp to deal with menstruation the same way their pagan mothers did, using pagan education instead of Islamic education.

Muslim woman educating her daughter on woman’s matters – no help from Islam, Allah, Koran or Muhammad.

Your wives are a place of sowing of seed for you, so come to your place of cultivation however you wish…

Koran 2:223

What’s the context of this verse? Let’s check the hadith that the scholars of Tafsir rely upon:

Narrated Nafi:

Whenever Ibn Umar recited the Qur’an, he would not speak to anyone till he had finished his recitation. Once I held the Qur’an and he recited Surat-al-Baqara from his memory and then stopped at a certain Verse and said, “Do you know in what connection this Verse was revealed?”

I replied, “No.”

He said, “It was revealed in such-and-such connection.” IbnUmar then resumed his recitation.

Nafi, added regarding the Verse: “So go to your tilth when or how you will”

Ibn Umar said, “It means one should approach his wife in…” (V.2:223)

Sahih al-Bukhari 4526, 4527

Jews used to say: “If one has sexual intercourse with his wife from the back, then she will deliver a squint-eyed child.”

So this Verse was revealed: “Your wives are a tilth unto you; so go to your tilth when or how you will.” (2.223)

Sahih al-Bukhari 4528

Notice the “Verse was revealed” in response to the Muslims learning of this Jewish saying, and how Muhammad has to respond with converting it to polygamy, thus contradicting GOD.

Does this forbid anal intercourse? No. Only the scholars do that. Muhammad implicitly allows for his men’s free will with: “so go to your tilth when or how you will.” and uses the analogy of a “tilth” or dirt. This is telling.

Also, note that Muhammad is approving of the rape of Muslim women by their Muslim husband: “Your wives are a place of sowing of seed for you, so come to your place of cultivation however you wish…”. No human rights. No asking wife for permission. Nothing about cooperating in bed, to the mutual enjoyment of the married couple with the option of producing a baby:

Married couple cooperating in bed, having mutual fun with each other.

Bad sex education from Muhammad shows directly that Allah is imaginary and fictional. Muslims, get sex education from the West. If it hurts, don’t do it. Ask, don’t force. Don’t hurt each other either. Get sex education for yourself and your partner. Be responsible. So the best replacement for this passage is: “”, the empty sentence.
