Koran 17:78-79

17:78 Establish prayer at the decline of the sun [from its meridian] until the darkness of the night and [also] the Qur’an of dawn.

Indeed, the recitation of dawn is ever witnessed.

79 And from [part of] the night, pray with it as additional [worship] for you; it is expected that your Lord will resurrect you to a praised station.

Koran 17:78-79

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.

Obviously, this verse comes from Muhammad, not Allah, as the night journey/dream has already happened along with the change to 5x daily prayer directly from Allah. This passage talks of prayer three times daily. Yet, we already know from Islamic ideology that Islamic prayer is 5x daily and this occurred because of the Night Journey, Muhammad’s dream. This dream/vision is mentioned at the start of this chapter, yet, this change to prayer is not mentioned here.

Here’s Ten Things to Know About the Muslim Prayer about the FIVE prayer times:

Muslims pray five times a day. The timings for the prayer are set to before sunrise, afternoon, late afternoon, sunset, and evening.

Ten Things to Know About the Muslim Prayer

Obviously, this is Muhammad teaching wrongly three times daily, and only 78 verses after being told to make prayer FIVE times daily.

Worse, there are translation issues here. Here’s what the Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 17:78, has to say:

78 Perform the Salah from midday till the darkness of the night, and recite the Qur’an in the early dawn. Verily, the recitation of the Qur’an in the early dawn is ever witnessed. 79. And in some parts of the night (also) offer the Salah with it as an additional prayer for you. It may be that your Lord will raise you to Maqam Mahmud.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 17:78

So why is Muhammad incoherent with Islamic ideology and with his own Night Journey and talking with Moses and Allah directly? Muhammad was a false prophet who couldn’t keep his recitation coherent without changing it.

Note that there are no details of these prayers, just “pray with it”. Notice that Muslims do not pray with the Koran. Or does Muhammad mean praying with the recitation of the Koran as it actually implies?

This incoherent nonsense which CONTRADICTS Muhammad’s night journey in the chapter ABOUT the night journey shows Muhammad is stupid and corrupt.

There is also no mention of an abrogation. So is prayer 3x or 5x daily? Who knows? It’s of little point anyway, as Allah is imaginary, dead with Muhammad.

⁵ “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. ⁶ But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. ⁷ And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. ⁸ Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

NIV Matthew 6:5-8

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