Koran 22:11-13

22:11 And of the people is he who worships Allah on an edge.

If he is touched by good, he is reassured by it; but if he is struck by trial, he turns on his face [to the other direction].

He has lost [this] world and the Hereafter. That is what is the manifest loss.

12 He invokes instead of Allah that which neither harms him nor benefits him.

That is what is the extreme error.

13 He invokes one whose harm is closer than his benefit – how wretched the protector and how wretched the associate.

Koran 22:11-13

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.

Notice: “of the people” – why not all humans? And what of the woman who worships Allah on an edge? The inability of Muhammad to talk about women being Muslims shows Islam is for men only, meaning women are left out, thus Islam is false for 50% of the human population.

But, Infidel, “he” means “he and she”! So, Allah being he, means Allah is he and she?

But, Infidel, Allah doesn’t have sex! So, if Allah doesn’t have a sex or gender, why does Allah refer to humans as only “he”?

Notice that Muhammad mentions “edge”. What does that mean? Let’s check with scholars of Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 22:11, who make the already perfectly clear words of Muhammad, not pretending to be Allah, with:

…(upon the edge) means, in doubt.

Others said that it meant on the edge, such as on the edge or side of a mountain, i.e., (this person) enters Islam on the edge, and if he finds what he likes he will continue, otherwise he will leave.

People would come to Al-Madinah to declare their Islam and if their wives gave birth to sons and their mares gave birth to foals, they would say, “This is a good religion,” but if their wives and their mares did not give birth, they would say, “This is a bad religion.”

One of them would come to Al-Madinah, which was a land that was infected with a contagious disease. If he remained healthy there, and his mare foaled and his wife gave birth to a boy, he would be content, and would say, “I have not experienced anything but good since I started to follow this religion.”

(but if a Fitnah strikes him), Fitnah here means affliction, ie, if the disease of Al-Madinah befalls him, and his wife gives birth to a babe girl and charity is delayed in coming to him, the Shaytan comes to him and says: “By Allah, since you started to follow this religion of yours, you have experienced nothing but bad things,” and this is the Fitnah.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 22:11

Notice that Muhammad omits to say who the “trial” comes from. Consider, that if the trial came from Satan, it’s good to turn away from that trial, right? So, if the trial comes from Allah, then it’s also good to turn away from Allah too, as clearly, if Satan sends trials and Allah sends trials, then both are one, Satan.

But, Infidel, it’s just random! If so, why didn’t Muhammad, who is not pretending to be Allah here, not mention that?

But, Infidel, it’s Islamic Fate! If so, then why does the example Muslim believer leave Islam? And why would Muhammad care? Muhammad cares because he knows that there’s free will and Muslims use their free will to make choices. Thus, there’s no Allah and no Islamic Fate, showing Islam, Allah, the Koran and Muhammad are false.

Now notice in the passage that the “he” invokes other than Allah. This would be a normal part of the worship service in the tribe of the people, the Quraysh, who circled the Kaaba, nude, kissed black stone, and raced between rocks. Much like these people do now around the Kaaba:

Round and around the Kaaba the pagans go….
Around and around 7 times to honour the planets

Pressing in close to kiss the beeswax around the 8 black river pebbles

Muslims, orbiting, Kaaba, Mecca, Saudi Arabia

Obviously, nothing like what Abraham or the other prophets would do. Nothing like what Jews and Christians do. Who are the pagans? The Muslims in these pictures.

So, note that Muhammad has the “he” invoked others. Let’s test Allah and invoke Allah, instead:

Allah, if you are more than imaginary and false, please put a Koran in the hand of everyone around the Earth, to show you are the one god to worship.

Me, invoking Allah

Nothing happened. Thus, Allah is false.

But, Infidel, there are no miracles in Islam! So that miracle of the resurrection on the last day won’t happen, right?

But, Infidel, um, uh.

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