Koran 17:25

Your Lord is most knowing of what is within yourselves.

If you should be righteous [in intention] – then indeed He is ever, to the often returning [to Him], Forgiving.

Koran 17:25

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.

The scholars of Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 17:25, help make clear the perfectly clear words in the game of Telephone (or Chinese Whispers) between Allah, Jibril, Muhammad and his scribes:

This refers to a man who said something that he did not think would be offensive to his parents.

He did not mean anything bad by that.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 17:25

I suggest that the scholars are mistaken (“yourselves”), and this refers to the alternative personalities of Muhammad in his head, one named Allah and the other, Jibril, looking a lot like:

Being alternative personalities, each has access to Muhammad’s memories, or is “most knowing of what is within yourselves”. Yes, Muhammad was mad and most likely was psychotic and had Dissociative Identity Disorder. Undoubtedly this came from his emotional abuse in childhood, which, IIRC, included sexual abuse, not helped by Muhammad switching personalities and causing his caregivers to assume he was possessed, which he effectively was.

This is where Muhammad’s concept of Islamic Fate comes from:

Some describe this feeling as being a passenger in their body rather than the driver. In other words, they truly believe they have no choice.

Dissociative Identity Disorder #2

Muhammad’s incoherent notion of Islamic Fate comes from his madness, and his Dissociative Identity Disorder.

Notice how Muhammad’s behaviour matches the symptoms:

Abu Sa’id exclaimed, “How hot your fever is, Messenger of Allah!”

He said, “We are like that. The affliction is hard on us, but the reward is doubled for us.”

Excerpt, Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 510

The Koran is full of Muhammad’s delusions, bizarre behaviour, hallucinations, disorganised thinking, and paucity of thought and speech. One symptom I haven’t noticed yet is the “Flat Affect”. This might be because it was simply not noticed by people around Muhammad, as a calm period before Muhammad went obviously crazy again.
