Koran 7:19-25

7:19 And “O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise and eat from wherever you will but do not approach this tree, lest you be among the wrongdoers.”

20 But Satan whispered to them to make apparent to them that which was concealed from them of their private parts.

He said, “Your Lord did not forbid you this tree except that you become angels or become of the immortal.”

21 And he swore [by Allah] to them, “Indeed, I am to you from among the sincere advisors.”

22 So he made them fall, through deception.

And when they tasted of the tree, their private parts became apparent to them, and they began to fasten together over themselves from the leaves of Paradise.

And their Lord called to them, “Did I not forbid you from that tree and tell you that Satan is to you a clear enemy?”

23 They said, “Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers.”

24 [Allah] said, “Descend, being to one another enemies. And for you on the earth is a place of settlement and enjoyment for a time.”

25 He said, “Therein you will live, and therein you will die, and from it you will be brought forth.”

Koran 7:19-25

Muhammad is repeating and rephrasing the story from earlier in his recitation, Muhammad’s Koran, Koran 2:35:39:

35 And We said, “O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise and eat therefrom in [ease and] abundance from wherever you will. But do not approach this tree, lest you be among the wrongdoers.”

36 But Satan caused them to slip out of it and removed them from that [condition] in which they had been.

And We said, “Go down, [all of you], as enemies to one another, and you will have upon the earth a place of settlement and provision for a time.”

37 Then Adam received from his Lord [some] words, and He accepted his repentance. Indeed, it is He who is the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful.

38 We said, “Go down from it, all of you. And when guidance comes to you from Me, whoever follows My guidance – there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve. 39 And those who disbelieve and deny Our signs – those will be companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.”

Koran 2:35-39

This is a corrupted repetition of the story of Adam (and Eve).

Note that “Then Adam received from his Lord [some] words” only happens in the EARLIER story, but not in the LATTER story. So which story is right? Or did Muhammad simply FORGET? Either way, this shows that Muhammad is incoherent in reciting the Koran, showing it’s redundant, repetitive, imperfect, incoherent, fictional, false and nonsensical, making Allah, Islamic doctrine and Islam all fictional, nonsensical and false.

Why are the words of Satan included here with the perfect words of the perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah? This obviously means that the Qur’an and its words are incoherent, imperfect and false, meaning Allah is incoherent, imperfect and false, which means Islamic doctrine and Islam are incoherent, nonsensical and false.

But, Infidel, the words of Satan are integral to the story! The story, meaning fictional. A fictional story means all the characters created in it are fictional. Imaginary. Incoherent with reality. False.

Even more of a failure: “but do not approach this tree” when approaching the tree was fine, but the problems happened when “they tasted of the tree” AKA fruit.

Continuing the story, note how Satan, a divine being superior to Allah, deceives Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve are acting in accord with a being SUPERIOR to Allah, a being that they were UNABLE to resist due to its power, and them being merely human, made of clay or dust. And worse note how Muhammad has Allah lie to Adam and Eve: “tell you that Satan is to you a clear enemy?”. Note that Allah did no such thing at all, and worse, allowed or more likely couldn’t PREVENT Satan from lying to Adam and Eve, thus showing Allah is a lesser god or worse, powerless.

Note the problem Muhammad has with groups, speaking as one, Adam and Eve speaking together: “They said”. This is a rather unique mental and language problem with Muhammad, indicating that his recitation, Muhammad’s Koran is imperfect and incoherent.

Note how the translator has to correct Muhammad in the latter reading with: “[Allah] said”.

Now compare with the story of the Fall of Adam and Eve from the Bible. Note that the Bible only has this story once, not twice with variations as Muhammad has it. NIV Genesis 3:

The Fall
Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”
“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”
10 He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”
11 And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
12 The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”
The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
14 So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,
“Cursed are you above all livestock
    and all wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
    and you will eat dust
    all the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity
    between you and the woman,
    and between your offspring and hers;
he will crush your head,
    and you will strike his heel.”
16 To the woman he said,
“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe;
    with painful labor you will give birth to children.
Your desire will be for your husband,
    and he will rule over you.”
17 To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’
“Cursed is the ground because of you;
    through painful toil you will eat food from it
    all the days of your life.
18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you,
    and you will eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your brow
    you will eat your food
until you return to the ground,
    since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
    and to dust you will return.”
20 Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.
21 The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them. 22 And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” 23 So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. 24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

NIV Genesis 3

Note the extra details in the story from Torah and Bible, which Muhammad omits in both stories. This indicates that Muhammad is summarising badly this story in NIV Genesis 3, thus relying upon Torah and Bible to support his recitation, Muhammad’s Koran, which means that Muhammad acknowledges that his Koran relies upon Torah and Bible, contradicting Islamic doctrine.

Whether you agree or not with the story of the Fall of Adam and Eve, you can see that Muhammad gets it wrong and summarises it badly and wrongly and repetitively and depends upon Torah and Bible to refresh the reader’s memory of the Torah and Bible. Thus we can see that Muhammad is not original, but is merely summarising already established stories, showing that he has NO connection to divinity, no source of absolute truth, thus Allah is proven false, a delusion of Muhammad’s, an incoherent, imaginary and fictional character, which is false, making Islamic doctrine and Islam nonsensical and false. As such the best replacement for this passage is: “”, the empty sentence.
