Koran 15:16-18

15:16 And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers.

17 And We have protected it from every devil expelled [from the mercy of Allah] 18 Except one who steals a hearing and is pursued by a clear burning flame.

Koran 15:16-18

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.

15:16 “…We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers.”

Is Muhammad or the Demon right? Are there “great stars” within the “heaven”? Other translations of the Koran have “constellations” instead of “great stars”:

And most surely, We have made constellations in the sky and adorned it to the beholders;

Fadel Soliman, Bridges’ translation, Koran 15:16

Obviously “great stars” versus “constellations” show that there’s a problem in the original text of the Koran, that a competent god and prophet wouldn’t make.

Did Muhammad or the Demon “beautified it for the observers”? These are the “great stars” or heavenly bodies:

Sun with the rocky planets Mercury, Venus, Earth with Moon and Mars; Asteroids and dwarf planet Ceres; gas giants Jupiter and Saturn; ice giants Neptune and Uranus; dwarf planets Pluto, Haumea, Makemake and Eris; comets Halley’s Comet.

Note that Allah, Muhammad and the Demon are unable to name them all. Perhaps they were bored?

But, Infidel, the Sun and the Moon aren’t heavenly bodies! But they are. Muhammad didn’t know this.

But, Infidel, Allah means the stars as well! But Allah doesn’t mean the “fixed” stars. Instead, the “fixed” stars are simply the oil filled, lamp “lights” of the Heaven above, literally:

The “fixed” stars – close-up

But, infidel, oil filled, lamps?! Yes. See:

37:6 Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars 7 And as protection against every rebellious devil 8 [So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side, 9 Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment, 10 Except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness].

Koran 37:6-10

And We have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with stars and have made [from] them what is thrown at the devils and have prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze.

Koran 67:5
Meteors, shooting stars

The word “stars” is translated as “lamps” in other, more honest, translations. Note also the correspondence, in Muhammad’s Koran, 18 “Except one who steals a hearing and is pursued by a clear burning flame.” The “clear burning flame” is an oil lamp flame. Muhammad was describing the skies above in comparison to everyday objects and processes he observed. Notice also the “what is thrown at the devils” – this is the shooting stars, which is also referred to later in the Koran.

And have the heavens been “beautified” “for the observers”? It’s easy to recite, but far harder to prove this statement. And, is the beautification the arrangement of the “great stars” or heavenly bodies? Or is it “beautified” “with stars”? The Koran is incoherent in this point as shown in Koran 67:5 and Koran 15:16-20.

Is “beautified” the patterns of the constellations, invented by humans?
Or is “beautified” the image of the edge of the Milky Way galaxy and the many stars and galaxies?

But, Infidel, obviously Allah meant the wonders of the stars, galaxies, Milky Way, etc! So why doesn’t Muhammad mention more about this? He can’t have been limited by space, as there is the “repetition”, and “diversification” of Koran 67:5:

And We have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with stars and have made [from] them what is thrown at the devils and have prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze.

Koran 67:5

And of course, Muhammad (or his demon) has:

Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars

Koran 37:6

So obviously it’s the pattern of the stars:

Constellations, Northern hemisphere

The confusion here by Muhammad shows he’s incoherent in this concept and can’t remember what he recited earlier. Thus these words can’t be the perfect words of the perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah, which means Allah is false and Muhammad is a false prophet for a false religion, Islam.

17 “…We have protected it from every devil expelled…”

Note the incoherence here.

18 “Except one who steals a hearing and is pursued by a clear burning flame.”

See: “protected” but there’s regularly “one who steals a hearing”, every night. So obviously the heavens can’t be protected.

The “clear burning flame” is Muhammad’s explanation for meteor showers:

Meter shower – the streaks in the image

We know what meteors and meteorites are, and we have recovered them:

Alex Meshik and Morgan Nunn Martinez collected a meteorite in Antarctica’s Miller Range during the 2013-2014 ANSMET field season.

Really big meteors have hit Earth in the past, leaving large craters like the Arizona meteor crater:

Arizona Meteor Crater

We can observe meteor craters on the Moon too:

Moon with meteor craters
Closeup photos of lunar craters are available to everyone.

Meteor craters on the Earth and the Moon show that Allah missed and hit Earth and the Moon respectively. This incompetence shows that Allah doesn’t exist and thus Allah is imaginary and is false, which means Muhammad is a false prophet, Islam is a false religion, and so the best replacement for this passage is: “”, the empty sentence.
