Koran 4:60-63

4:60 Have you not seen those who claim to have believed in what was revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what was revealed before you?

They wish to refer legislation to Taghut, while they were commanded to reject it; and Satan wishes to lead them far astray.

61 And when it is said to them, “Come to what Allah has revealed and to the Messenger,”

you see the hypocrites turning away from you in aversion.

62 So how [will it be] when disaster strikes them because of what their hands have put forth and then they come to you swearing by Allah, “We intended nothing but good conduct and accommodation.”

63 Those are the ones of whom Allah knows what is in their hearts, so turn away from them but admonish them and speak to them a far-reaching word.

Koran 4:60-63

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.

What’s “Taghut”? Arabic that can’t be translated shows that the Koran is local to Muhammad and friends, not to all peoples around the world, so Allah is local, an idol, fictional and false, thus Islam is false.

Note that this passage contains the imperfect words of other people along with Muhammad’s own imperfect words, thus you can see that these words are not the perfect words of the perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah.

This passage is describing Muhammad’s mental models of some of the Jews and Muslims of his time and place, his context, and surprisingly, this passage addresses Muslim hypocrites, not the Jews. See Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 4:60:

It was reported that the reason behind revealing this Ayah was that a man from the Ansar [Muslim] and a Jew had a dispute, and the Jew said, “Let us refer to Muhammad to judge between us.”

However, the Muslim man said, “Let us refer to Ka`b bin Al-Ashraf (a Jew) to judge between us.”

Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 4:60

Note that the Jews of Muhammad’s time and place seem to be quite willing to go to Muhammad to judge disputes in charity to Muhammad, and it’s Muhammad’s Muslim men that were unwilling to go to Muhammad for judging the dispute. This passage is essentially Muhammad criticising himself for doing a poor job, which is understandable as he doesn’t have a real god assisting him, and his Koran does a terrible job in advising Muslims.

Muhammad tells himself to: “speak to them a far-reaching word.” Yet, Allah, Muhammad, you and I do not know what this “far-reaching word” is. Missing information in a supposedly perfectly clear and perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah, shows all these entities are imperfect and so false.

As this passage is referring to Muhammad and his Muslims, for his time and place, his context, then the best replacement is: “”, the empty sentence.
