Koran 22:18

Do you not see that to Allah prostrates whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth and the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the trees, the moving creatures and many of the people?

But upon many the punishment has been justified.

And he whom Allah humiliates – for him there is no bestower of honor.

Indeed, Allah does what He wills.

Koran 22:18

Nothing prostrates to Allah, except Muslims, and they prostrate towards the location of the black stone, as shown by the varying Qiblas directions over time. Obviously, a black stone is not Allah, but Muslims bow and prostrate to this stone. So where is Allah, to prostrate to, if not in the various Qiblas directions over time?

Observe the shadows of these people around a campfire:

Shadows cast by humans around a campfire at night

Where’s Allah’s direction or Qibla from this? Obviously no nowhere.

Observe the Sun (don’t look directly!), and see the shadow cast by various beings. The beings alter their shape and move around and none of their shadows point to Mecca, unless by chance.

As for the Sun, the Sun never casts a shadow on Earth. The Sun emits light all around.

Sun’s components

The stars don’t cast shadows, they’re like the Sun, only very far away.

For more about this, see my complete refutation of Shadow Prostration.

But, Infidel, it’s not like that! OK, let’s consider some more far-out possibilities. Perhaps indeed the mountains cry out and prostrate to Allah. Maybe the trees really do sing in the wind and bend in the wind and get torn out of the ground for not bending to Allah? But obviously, that only happens in storms, right? Allah the rain god.

But Infidel, it’s not like that! Then perhaps it’s that Muhammad that sees this happen, and sees everything calling him the “Praised One”, and speaking to him, worshipping him?

Indeed, those who are near your Lord are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, and they exalt Him, and to Him they prostrate.

Koran 7:206

Muhammad was mad.

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