Koran 3:102-103

3:102 O you who have believed, fear Allah as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims [in submission to Him].

103 And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided.

And remember the favor of Allah upon you – when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers.

And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it.

Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses that you may be guided.

Koran 3:102-103

Muhammad, ad nauseam: “who have believed”. Read, O you who have believed.

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 commands people: “do not die”. This is nonsensical. Perhaps, charitably, Muhammad meant: “Do not commit suicide!”, and didn’t know the right word? But worse, Muhammad is actually commanding his men to die for him as Muslims. See what happens when the phrase is corrected to refer to Muslims: “die as Muslims”. It’s quite evil when Muhammad curses his Muslims to die.

Rope of Allah, supposedly

Muhammad commands (not Allah): “And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided.” Note that the command comes from Muhammad, not Allah, and obviously Muslims around the world have failed at this command for 1400 years. The picture above shows a tug of war. The “rope of Allah” is between Sunni, Shia, Ibadi, Kalām, Ash’ari, Maturidi, Murji’ah, Qadariyyah, Mu’tazili, Jahmiyyah, Bāṭeniyyah, African-American movements, Ahmadiyya movement, Gülen / Hizmet movement, Islamism, Muslim Brotherhood, Jamaat-e-Islami, Zahirism, Mahdavia, Tolu-e-Islam, Quranism, Ahl-i Hadith, Salafi movement, Islamic Modernism, Wahhabism. Source: Wikipedia, Islamic schools and branches. A house divided, falls.

Which sect of Islam is right? See: Which sect of Islam is right?

Note that the Muslims were never on “the edge of a pit of the Fire”. This is Muhammad’s fear-mongering.

As for the Rope of Allah, where is it? Is it this?

Is this the Rope of Allah?

Obviously, the Rope of Allah can’t be literal, can it? But, if you think about it, deeply, why can’t it be literal? When you’re in dangerous places, the Rope of Allah can guide you out:

Muslim mountain climbers guided by the Rope of Allah

Your wife can be guided by the Rope of Allah:

Your wife is guided by the Rope of Allah, so she can’t have sex with some other man, by mistake.

Your cattle can be guided by the Rope of Allah:

The rope of Allah guides your cattle back home, after grazing.

But, Infidel, a real Rope of Allah would take away our freedom and free will?! There’s free will in Islam? That’s news to me, as I thought Islamic Fate was supposedly real? But of course, there’s simply the option of letting go of the rope of Allah, right? There’s your free will, right there, in your decision to be guided by the rope of Allah or to let it go and not be guided by the rope of Allah.

But, Infidel, it’s not literal, it’s metaphorical! That’s the excuse for a literal rope not existing, because Allah is imaginary, fictional, a stone idol.

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

So what is the “Rope of Allah” when it’s not literal? Is it singing the Koran together? Choir practise? Or is it, being a community of Muslims together, praying and reciting together?

Muslim prayer time.

So obviously, instead of:

And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided.

Koran 3:103

This is better and clearer:

Be in the community of worshippers of Allah, Muslims together.

A better Koran 3:103

Then note the sexism of Muhammad with: “brothers’. Aren’t Muslim women and Muslim children part of the community of Muslims? Muhammad couldn’t even think of the possibility of women being Muslims, let alone children.

Interestingly, scholars can’t figure this out. There’s a note which says that the “rope of Allah” is: “Referring either to His covenant or the Qur’ān.” This is obviously nonsense as Muslims do not have a covenant and don’t have the Qur’an.

Note that all the Muslims in these sects, schools and branches of Islam never were with Muhammad as they weren’t alive then. No Muslim alive today experienced these horrible threats from Muhammad. So you can see that Muhammad was referring to the Muslim bandits of his time and place, his context, and, thus as seen from the many divisions above, Muhammad’s command has failed totally for 1400 years. Thus you know the best replacement for Muhammad’s disobeyed command in this passage is: “”, the empty sentence.
