Koran 4:160-162

4:160 For wrongdoing on the part of the Jews, We made unlawful for them [certain] good foods which had been lawful to them, and for their averting from the way of Allah many [people], 161 And [for] their taking of usury while they had been forbidden from it, and their consuming of the people’s wealth unjustly.

And we have prepared for the disbelievers among them a painful punishment.

162 But those firm in knowledge among them and the believers believe in what has been revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what was revealed before you.

And the establishers of prayer [especially] and the givers of zakah and the believers in Allah and the Last Day – those We will give a great reward.

Koran 4:160-162

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 lied: “For wrongdoing on the part of the Jews”. Muhammad meant Hebrews here, not Jews. And it wasn’t for wrongdoing either.

Muhammad commits shirk: “We made” and “we have”, twice! This is Muhammad placing Allah beside himself as a companion, showing that Allah is imaginary, fictional and incoherent with Islam, and thus Islam is false and nonsensical. Muhammad is claiming he’s divine here, a great sin!

Muhammad lied: “unlawful for them [certain] good foods which had been lawful to them”. This is refuted earlier in Koran 3:93-95 and in Koran 2:168-169. Plus of course, Muhammad didn’t give his “revelation” to the Jews, but to his tribe, badly.

Muhammad lied: “for their averting from the way of Allah many [people]”. The Jews showed Muslims that Allah is a false god, AKA Baal, and so the Muslims of Muhammad’s time left Islam, most likely in revulsion at the lies of Muhammad.

Muhammad lied: “their taking of usury while they had been forbidden from it”. Usury is part of nature and trade and Muhammad is refuted earlier in Koran 3:130-136 and Koran 2:275. For more, see a full discussion on Usury in Judaism. In short, usury was forced upon Jews because of their repeated persecution by Christians and by Muslims.

Muhammad is incoherent: “believe in what has been revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what was revealed before you.” The Jews and Christians believe in YHWH and God/Jesus, respectively. They don’t believe in the Torah or Bible. Note also that this phrase by Muhammad, requires that Muslims, Christians and Jews, believe in the Torah and OT/NT of the Bible. Thus the Torah and Bible can’t have been corrupted. Thus Muhammad is incoherent with Islamic doctrine, which means Islam is false, and thus Allah is false, imaginary and fictional. From this you can see that the best replacement for this passage is: “”, the empty sentence.
