Koran 16:43-44

16:43 And We sent not before you except men to whom We revealed [Our message].

So ask the people of the message if you do not know.

44 [We sent them] with clear proofs and written ordinances.

And We revealed to you the message that you may make clear to the people what was sent down to them and that they might give thought.

Koran 16:43-44

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.

This passage seems to be entirely from the demon inside Muhammad and is addressed to Muhammad, not to listeners (or readers) of this recitation. Note that Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 16:43, shows what the reaction of some of the Arabs to Muhammad was:

…the Arabs, or some of them, denied him and said, “Allah is too great to send a human being as a Messenger.”

Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 16:43

Remember, Muhammad’s nominal father was already the priest of Allah. This shows that it was likely that most people considered Muhammad as unsuitable for the position of priest of Allah, probably because his real father was likely to be Waraqa, his nominal “uncle”, and so unsuitable to succeed his “nominal” father as priest of Allah, the chief god of the Quraysh.

Note the mocking of the demon to Muhammad with: “So ask the people of the message if you do not know.” The “message”? What happened to “people of the scripture” from earlier, the Jews and the Christians? In the Torah, the prophets were sent, NOT Messengers. In the Bible, the Messiah was sent, not Messengers. In both the Torah and Bible, messengers are “angels”. For example in the Bible, the “messenger” or angel Gabriel gives a message to Zechariah:

¹¹ Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. ¹² When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear. ¹³ But the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John. ¹⁴ He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth, ¹⁵ for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he is born. ¹⁶ He will bring back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God. ¹⁷ And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the parents to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”

¹⁸ Zechariah asked the angel, “How can I be sure of this? I am an old man and my wife is well along in years.”

¹⁹ The angel said to him, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news. ²⁰ And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their appointed time.”

²¹ Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the temple. ²² When he came out, he could not speak to them. They realized he had seen a vision in the temple, for he kept making signs to them but remained unable to speak.

²³ When his time of service was completed, he returned home. ²⁴ After this his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. ²⁵ “The Lord has done this for me,” she said. “In these days he has shown his favor and taken away my disgrace among the people.”

NIV Luke 1:11-25

And in the Bible, the angel (or messenger) Gabriel gives a message to Mary:

²⁶ In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, ²⁷ to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. ²⁸ The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”

²⁹ Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. ³⁰ But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. ³¹ You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. ³² He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, ³³ and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”

³⁴ “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”

³⁵ The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. ³⁶ Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. ³⁷ For no word from God will ever fail.”

³⁸ “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.

NIV Luke 1:26-38

As you can see, Gabriel delivers messages to VERY important people. He doesn’t squeeze them or tell them to read a message, three times, as he supposedly did with Muhammad. This picture shows an Islamic artist’s impression of what an Islamic angel looks like:

Here’s what Muhammad, pretending to be Allah, has to say about Islamic angels:

[All] praise is [due] to Allah, Creator of the heavens and the earth, [who] made the angels messengers having wings, two or three or four. He increases in creation what He wills. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.

Koran 35:1

As you can see, the “angels” of Islam ARE “messengers” and have wings, 2, 3 or 4 pairs, according to “Allah” or Muhammad pretending to be Allah.

As you can see, the demon is making Muhammad his “messenger”, his “angel”, to spread the words of the demon, the recitation of the demon in Muhammad’s head. Don’t skip over this message from the demon to Muhammad:

And We revealed to you the message that you may make clear to the people what was sent down to them and that they might give thought.

Koran 16:44

And note the message of the demon: “what was sent down to them” In other words, what the Quraysh already had. Obviously this “what was sent down to them” is NOT Muhammad’s Koran. This is most likely why Muhammad repeats the Quraysh nonsense of Allah being Baal a rain god, Allah being the face of the Moon, Allah being the cattle god Sin. Muhammad even breaks to the demon’s will and adds in the polytheism of the Quraysh with:

53:19 So have you considered al-Lat and al-‘Uzza? 20 And Manat, the third – the other one?

Satan tempted Muhammad to utter the following line:
These are the exalted gharāniq, whose intercession is hoped for.

Koran 53:19-20

Obviously, this is shirk, isn’t it Muslims? Shirk that destroys the concept of Allah being “one”. Thus proving Allah false.

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