Koran 10:48-52

10:48 And they say, “When is [the fulfillment of] this promise, if you should be truthful?”

49 Say, “I possess not for myself any harm or benefit except what Allah should will. For every nation is a [specified] term. When their time has come, then they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it].”

50 Say, “Have you considered: if His punishment should come to you by night or by day – for which [aspect] of it would the criminals be impatient?”

51 Then is it that when it has [actually] occurred you will believe in it? Now?

And you were [once] for it impatient 52 Then it will be said to those who had wronged, “Taste the punishment of eternity; are you being recompensed except for what you used to earn?”

Koran 10:48-52

Muhammad, in his Koran, addresses a sentence, verse, or passage to “Anonymous They”, with “they”, “them”, “he”, “your”, “the people”, and so on, without naming them. For more, read Anonymous They.

Muhammad Allah commands Muhammad to: “Say” or “Recite”. This means that this passage is addressed to Muhammad, not to all people. Thus, this passage can’t be in the perfect words of the perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah. As it is addressed to Muhammad, in his time and place, his context, this also means that this passage is locked to Muhammad’s context and can’t be in the context-free, perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah with all its perfect words. Thus, this passage is part of Muhammad’s recitation, Muhammad’s Koran, which means Islamic doctrine and Islam are incoherent and false, meaning Allah is incoherent, imaginary, fictional, and false.

According to Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 10:48-52, the anonymous “they” are:

Allah told us about the idolaters…

Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 10:48-52

It’s interesting to know that Allah is speaking to the next prophets of Islam here, to make clear what Muhammad and Allah already made perfectly clear.

Contrary to the nonsense in the tafsir, the idolaters are asking a quite reasonable question, a reasonable question which shouldn’t be in the perfect words of the perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah, which I’ll make clearer here:

When is [the fulfillment of] this promise, if you should be truthful?

Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 10:48

Oh wait, all I did was copy/paste it with my scribal powers, given to me by Allah and Microsoft. And note, Muhammad is commanded to say by Allah, but never actually says it in the Koran. That’s a failure of Muhammad. But carrying on, even this, is not an answer. Muhammad simply doesn’t state the answer. Instead, it’s an appeal to force, a fallacy, showing Muhammad is making threats instead of answering reasonable questions. This shows that Muhammad was not informed by a real god, but only has an idol, who can’t speak except by Muhammad pretending.

All the people Muhammad spoke to are long dead, dust in the desert, like Muhammad. None are suffering the punishment that Muhammad lied about. Worse, they were all forcibly converted to Islam by Muhammad, later, proving this passage is lies by Muhammad.

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