Koran 7:163

And ask them about the town that was by the sea – when they transgressed in [the matter of] the sabbath – when their fish came to them openly on their sabbath day, and the day they had no sabbath they did not come to them.

Thus did We give them trial because they were defiantly disobedient.

Koran 7:163

Muhammad commits shirk with: “We”, “Us” or “Our”, placing Allah as a companion to himself, showing that Allah is incoherent, imaginary, and fictional, and so Islam is incoherent with monotheism, thus Islam is contradictory and false.

Note the anonymous “them”, “the town” and “by the sea”. This story lacks the names of the people, the town and the sea. According to Tafsir Ibn Kathir 7:163:

The village mentioned here is Aylah, on the shore of the Qulzum (Red) Sea.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir 7:163

Note that the people aren’t mentioned, but seem to refer to Jews. From what I can see if I go with the demon-influenced and demon-possessed scholars, who make clear the Koran better than Muhammad and Allah can, the village seems to be the city of Aqaba. It was Greek, Roman and Christian then eventually conquered by Muslim forces. So when was its “Sabbath”? With the non-existent Jewish population who have their sabbath on Saturday? With pagans who have no established “rest” day? With the Christians who have their “sabbath” on Sunday? Or with the Muslims who have their “sabbath” on Friday? At the very least, people have fished there for millennia, not knowing about this sabbath fishing restriction from Muhammad’s imaginary Allah, while in various different religions.

Note that it’s only the Jews who practice Judaism that has the prohibition about gathering food or fishing on Sabbath, but that doesn’t matter, as they weren’t in the village of Aylah or Aqaba at all. But let’s imagine that Muhammad was right and that this village was inhabited solely by Jews who typically fished during the week and not on Sabbath according to Torah. So for some unexplained reason, the fish no longer come or are no longer available on non-Sabbath days. So the village people are slowly starving, eating through the stocks of even preserved fish. Then, again for no explained reason, the fish come on the Sabbath day and this is noticeable on the shore, as Muhammad says. Obviously, to save human life, and to prevent the starvation of the Jews, the Jews who are sailors and fishermen will go out on Sabbath and fish the obvious fish to save their own lives. This is allowed by Torah, to get food to save human lives. This is shown in Wikipedia, Pikuach nefesh. In short, the Jews are encouraged to LIVE by Torah, not to DIE by Torah.

In short, Muhammad demands the starvation and death of Jews, while tormenting them with fish available to catch and eat. This is utterly evil. I’m glad it’s a story and not Muhammad causing a genocide of a Jewish fishing village.

So as we can see, Muhammad lied was evil and was ignorant of Torah, from this we see that Allah is necessarily false, which means Islamic doctrine and Islam are nonsensical, incoherent and wrong, which means Muhammad is a false prophet. Thus the best replacement for this verse is: “”, the empty sentence.
