Koran 3:16-17

3:16 Those who say, “Our Lord, indeed we have believed, so forgive us our sins and protect us from the punishment of the Fire,”

17 The patient, the true, the obedient, those who spend [in the way of Allah], and those who seek forgiveness before dawn.

Koran 3:16-17

Remember the previous passage? That trailing dash?

Say, “Shall I inform you of [something] better than that? For those who fear Allāh will be gardens in the presence of their Lord beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally, and purified spouses and approval from Allāh. And Allāh is Seeing [i.e., aware] of [His] servants –

Koran 3:15

How does that fit with this passage? Is there something missing? Or is it bad sentence construction by Muhammad or the translators? Either answer shows Allah is imaginary, as the stone idol is unable to correct these obvious problems.

“Those who say,” is referring to the people around Muhammad in his time and place, his context. Thus these are not the perfect words of the perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah.

The words of imperfect mortals: “Our Lord, indeed we have believed” – obviously not the perfect words of the perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah. This is obviously a prayer.

Note “Our Lord” – why not “Allah”? Is Muhammad referring to Christians who follow Jesus/God and not Allah?

…those who spend…

Note: “those who spend”. How do these people give money to Muhammad when he’s dead? These are not the perfect words of the perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah. And what’s the worth of money to a perfect god who owns everything? What’s the value of the human creation, money, as opposed to the supposed creation of everything by imaginary Allah?

Also, Muhammad speaks about Allah in the third person – that’s not the perfect words of the perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah.

Earth with day to the left, night to the right, and dusk and dawn edge in the middle.

Note this oddly specific time: “before dawn”. A perfect god is available at all times, not just “before dawn”, a local time, one local to Muhammad’s time and place. What happens at dawn? The Moon becomes less visible to see:

Our Moon is easier to see at night before dawn.
Our Moon is harder to see after dawn

Note that this passage is an incomplete sentence – that’s imperfect. These are not the perfect words of the perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah.

Allah, the dead, broken, stone idol, in Mecca, Petra, Jordan.

This passage is broken, like a headless idol. Why worship the clumsy author, who tries to place himself above Allah, yet who is unable to complete this sentence? Thus you know the best replacement for this passage is: “”, the empty sentence.
