Koran 21:24-25

21:24 Or have they taken gods besides Him?

Say, [O Muhammad], “Produce your proof. This [Qur’an] is the message for those with me and the message of those before me.”

But most of them do not know the truth, so they are turning away.

25 And We sent not before you any messenger except that We revealed to him that, “There is no deity except Me, so worship Me.”

Koran 21:24-25

Muhammad asks a rhetorical question: “Or have they taken gods besides Him?” Yes, indeed, and this was taught by Muhammad’s nominal father, the slave of Allah, and accepted by Muhammad during his marriage to Khadijah, his first wife. This was from long ago, as even Muhammad’s story of Abraham and the idols shows, Abraham rejecting idol worship of Sin the cattle god and Moon god of Ur, Mesopotamia. Muhammad carries on the worship of Allah, being Baal the rain and storm god and Lah, the moon god. Muhammad even reintroduces the names of Allah’s daughters, converting his Islam, his monotheistic version of Quraysh polytheism, back into polytheism, with:

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

Koran 53:19-20

Muhammad Allah commands Muhammad to: “Say” or “Recite”. This means that this passage is addressed to Muhammad, not to all people. Thus, this passage can’t be in the perfect words of the perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah. As it is addressed to Muhammad, in his time and place, his context, this also means that this passage is locked to Muhammad’s context and can’t be in the context-free, perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah with all its perfect words. Thus, this passage is part of Muhammad’s recitation, Muhammad’s Koran, which means Islamic doctrine and Islam are incoherent and false, meaning Allah is incoherent, imaginary, fictional, and false.

Notice in the “Say” that this shows that the Koran is from Muhammad with: “This [Qur’an] is the message for those with me”. Let’s reiterate that:

This [Qur’an] is the message for those with me…

Koran 21:24

Nothing about this “recitation” being from Allah. Instead, it’s “me” – Muhammad. Then note in the last verse that the translators change the “me” to “Me” to pretend it’s Allah, not Muhammad, making a mistake again:

“There is no deity except Me, so worship Me.”

Koran 21:25

This should be: “There is no deity except Allah/Muhammad, so worship Allah/Muhammad”.

Notice that earlier Muhammad asserted that angels are better worshippers and exalters than humans with:

21:19 And those near Him are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, nor do they tire.

20 They exalt [Him] night and day [and] do not slacken.

Koran 21:19-20

Either this earlier passage is talking about how angels are better than humans or it shows Muhammad is exaggerating and lying by having Muslims who are worshipping and exalting Muhammad. Either way, this shows that Allah is false by needing worship, or it shows that Muslims are worshipping and exalting Muhammad, thus showing Allah is part of Muhammad, another personality.

Muhammad blows his own trumpet and reveals his message comes from himself. Allah is thus imaginary.

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