9:43 May Allah pardon you, [O Muhammad]; why did you give them permission [to remain behind]?
[You should not have] until it was evident to you who were truthful and you knew [who were] the liars.
44 Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day would not ask permission of you to be excused from striving with their wealth and their lives.
And Allah is Knowing of those who fear Him.
45 Only those would ask permission of you who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day and whose hearts have doubted, and they, in their doubt, are hesitating.
Koran 9:43-45
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.
This passage is Muhammad, speaking to Muhammad. Obviously, this passage can’t be the perfect words of the perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah, when the passage obviously comes from Muhammad and is directed at Muhammad. This means that the Koran is corrupt and is not the perfect words of the perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah. Thus this means that Allah is incompetent and incoherent, imaginary, fictional and false, which means that Islamic doctrine and Islam are incoherent, nonsensical and false.
The passage here is Muhammad working out that he is not aided by omniscient Allah, and he has to work out the motivations of others by arguing with himself, over an earlier blanket permission he gave, which is explained by the demon-influenced and demon-possessed scholars of Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 9:43:
This Ayah was revealed about some people who said, “Ask permission from the Messenger of Allah to stay behind, and whether he agrees, or disagrees, remain behind!”
Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 9:43
Let’s imagine that Muhammad was being aided by a real divine being and that humans really do have angels on their shoulders and another angel on their heads. Then it’s trivial for the divine being using omniscience and the angels on their shoulders to collate together all the mental states of Muhammad’s Muslim bandits, work out who’s a believer and who’s not, and then tell Muhammad the result in a nice easy-to-read report. And it’s also trivial for this omniscient being to work out permissions for everyone involved and tell them directly through the angels on their shoulders. Thus the single point of failure, Muhammad, is not needed.
Thus this shows that Muhammad is arranging Jihad for his own purposes, for 1/5 share of the loot, not to spread Islam, except by accident.
Muhammad’s confusion and working out that he’s been incoherent with his pronouncements show that Muhammad’s Koran comes from Muhammad, not from an omniscient and omnipotent being or god. As such, the best replacement for this passage is: “”, the empty sentence.
