Koran 11:50-60

11:50 And to ‘Aad [We sent] their brother Hud.

He said, “O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him. You are not but inventors [of falsehood]. 51 O my people, I do not ask you for it any reward. My reward is only from the one who created me. Then will you not reason? 52 And O my people, ask forgiveness of your Lord and then repent to Him. He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in showers and increase you in strength [added] to your strength. And do not turn away, [being] criminals.”

53 They said, “O Hud, you have not brought us clear evidence, and we are not ones to leave our gods on your say-so. Nor are we believers in you. 54 We only say that some of our gods have possessed you with evil.”

He said, “Indeed, I call Allah to witness, and witness [yourselves] that I am free from whatever you associate with Allah 55 Other than Him. So plot against me all together; then do not give me respite. 56 Indeed, I have relied upon Allah, my Lord and your Lord. There is no creature but that He holds its forelock. Indeed, my Lord is on a path [that is] straight.”

57 But if they turn away, [say], “I have already conveyed that with which I was sent to you. My Lord will give succession to a people other than you, and you will not harm Him at all. Indeed my Lord is, over all things, Guardian.”

58 And when Our command came, We saved Hud and those who believed with him, by mercy from Us; and We saved them from a harsh punishment.

59 And that was ‘Aad, who rejected the signs of their Lord and disobeyed His messengers and followed the order of every obstinate tyrant. 60 And they were [therefore] followed in this world with a curse and [as well] on the Day of Resurrection. Unquestionably, ‘Aad denied their Lord; then away with ‘Aad, the people of Hud.

Koran 11:50-60

This is the second of at least five repetitions of the story of Hud. It’s obvious role-play by Muhammad, playing as Hud, with the Quraysh people made to be “‘Aad”, the people of “Hud”.

Notice the speech of the Quraysh:

O Hud, you have not brought us clear evidence, and we are not ones to leave our gods on your say-so. Nor are we believers in you. 54 We only say that some of our gods have possessed you with evil.

Quraysh, Koran 11:50-60

This speech is clear, direct and easy to understand. Yet, Muhammad avoids and lies in his replies. Muhammad calls Allah to witness, and yet, Allah never appears to bear witness about Muhammad. Worse for Muhammad, the disaster that befalls the Quraysh in Mecca, is the attack of Muhammad and his bandits, demonstrating that the only power of Islam, is the power of Muslim swords.

The people of “Aad” or the Quraysh never had disaster upon them, except for Muhammad and his bandits attacking their city, Mecca. Muhammad was a false prophet, but a real bandit leader, a warlord like the leader of ISIS. As such, the best replacement for this passage is: “”, the empty sentence.
