Koran 9:58-59

9:58 And among them are some who criticize you concerning the [distribution of] charities.

If they are given from them, they approve; but if they are not given from them, at once they become angry.

59 If only they had been satisfied with what Allah and His Messenger gave them and said, “Sufficient for us is Allah; Allah will give us of His bounty, and [so will] His Messenger; indeed, we are desirous toward Allah,” [it would have been better for them].

Koran 9:58-59

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 refers to Muhammad and his distribution of charity and war bounty, all the products of human beings, not the products of Allah. As such, it has no place in the perfect words of the perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah, as charity from Muslims and the bounty claimed from dead bodies in war, killed by Muslim bandits, both never come from Allah.

What this passage shows is that bounty doesn’t come from Allah. Instead, charity comes from humans, and worse, this passage shows that Muhammad is unfair in dividing the charity he received and divided amongst the needy. See Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 9:58:

We were told that a bedouin man, who had recently embraced Islam, came to the Prophet, when he was dividing some gold and silver, and said to him, “O Muhammad! Even though Allah commanded you to divide in fairness, you have not done so.”

Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 9:58

In short, the Bedouin man saw that Muhammad was being unfair in his division of charity given by his Muslims, in other words, cheating on charity. But, perhaps that was merely one dishonest Bedouin man, seeking to divide Muslims from the prophet? Read further on, in Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 9:58:

Hurqus protested against the Prophet’s division of the war spoils of Hunayn, saying, “Be fair, for you have not been fair!”

Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 9:58

Hmmm, two different men claiming Muhammad, the false prophet, of being unfair in the division not only of charity, but the war spoils too.

That’s interesting. Why didn’t Allah warn Muhammad about these people who sought to disrupt Islam, and the recording of the Koran, and accuse Muhammad of being unfair? Allah can’t and doesn’t answer. Why didn’t Allah divide the charity and war booty equitably instead? After all, Muhammad died and can’t divide up charity and war booty after death. Surely with the proliferation of angels on the shoulders and heads of all humans, one can be assigned by Allah to divide charity from Muslims equitably and divide war booty created by innocent dead human beings among greedy Muslim bandits, rather than rely upon fallible and greedy Muhammad?

The angels on the shoulders and heads of every person

The last verse here instructs Muslims to obey Muhammad even if he is unfair. This is obviously wrong, but good for Muhammad, as he can keep the good parts of charity and war booty for himself. And of course, you might notice that Muhammad died long ago. Obviously, this passage belonged to Muhammad’s time and place, his context. As such, the best replacement for this passage is: “”, the empty sentence.
