Koran 8:2-4

8:2 The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, their hearts become fearful, and when His verses are recited to them, it increases them in faith; and upon their Lord they rely – 3 The ones who establish prayer, and from what We have provided them, they spend.

4 Those are the believers, truly.

For them are degrees [of high position] with their Lord and forgiveness and noble provision.

Koran 8:2-4

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 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.

This passage starts with an appeal to fear fallacy, then continues with false promises and lies and finishes with false promises of “degree”, imaginary forgiveness and non-existent provision.

Observe, the function of Muhammad is: “His verses are recited to them”. Notice there’s nothing there about reading the Koran by yourself or even remembering the Koran or even reciting it yourself. So with Muhammad dead, Allah must be dead too. Thus how does this verse happen? Are you going to pretend to be Muhammad and recite or sing Allah’s verses to your fellow Muslims? Obviously, this verse requires Muhammad and so Allah.

Notice your duty as a Muslim, you have to “establish prayer”. So how many times per day? 2? 3? 5? Here’s how Muhammad could have phrased it better, by picking one of these options:

The ones who establish twice daily prayer,…

The ones who establish thrice daily prayer,…

The ones who establish 5 × daily prayer,…

Prayer Options, Koran 8:3

Better of course would have been a chapter devoted to prayer and how to do it, then a simple cross-reference in the index, or a hyperlink,… So now you know that the Koran is oral only and so all the written Korans are false.

Note the promise of Muhammad and imaginary Allah: “from what We have provided them,” Have you been provided for from Muhammad? Or Allah? Perhaps you might thank Allah for a good wife or a strong son or a good meal? Can you spend from those? Give your good wife to the dead Muhammad? Force your son to be a bandit for the dead Muhammad? Feed dead Muhammad from the leftovers of your meal? In short, with Muhammad dead and Allah being imaginary, there’s no “noble provision” at all. Thus no Muslim can spend from dead Muhammad and imaginary Allah’s nonexistent provision at all. Thus there are no “degrees” of “high position”, thus there’s no forgiveness at all.

But, Infidel, we get provision from the battlefield! So Islam religion of peace and battlefield looting,… I see.

Also, what are you supposed to spend this bounty on, when the bounty is objects? Sell what was stolen from the Jews and Christians back to them? Please do that, so you can be arrested and imprisoned for being a thief, a more humane punishment than the Islamic punishment for theft, for the thieves Muhammad wants you, the Muslim, to be.

As you can see, with Muhammad being dead and Allah imaginary, this shows that the promises of Muhammad are just lies and deceit, designed to fool and deceive the hearer and reader.

The best replacement for this passage is: “”, the empty sentence.
