Koran 22:70

Do you not know that Allah knows what is in the heaven and earth?

Indeed, that is in a Record.

Indeed that, for Allah, is easy.

Koran 22:70

Muhammad lied: “[to Allah] belongs”, “Allah created”, “Allah knows”, “dominion”, “Lord over” or “Lord of” “the heavens and the earth”. Obviously, Allah doesn’t create, own, know, have, or have dominion over the heavens and the earth, because our Earth is IN the universe and is always a part of the universe, not separate from the “heavens”. These phrases show that Muhammad was describing what was above, “heavens” and what was below, “earth”, which is a Flat Earth worldview. Thus, Allah is imaginary, fictional, and false, which means Islamic doctrine and Islam are nonsensical and false.

There’s an amusing story in Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 22:70, which is:

The first thing that Allah created was the Pen. He said to it, “Write!”

It said, “What should I write?”

He said, “Write what will happen,”

so the Pen wrote everything that will happen until the Day of Resurrection.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 22:70

What’s a “pen”?

Infidel, you are stupid, obviously, it’s a ballpoint pen! Created and made by BIC and other companies.

But, Infidel, it’s a fountain pen! Created and made by humans and various companies.

But, but, Infidel it’s a reed, cut at an angle dipped in ink! Notice that a pen requires supporting HUMAN made technologies, like Egyptian-made papyrus, reeds from the Nile Delta for pens, sharp stone or obsidian glass knives for cutting the reed at an angle, ink with which to write, and the technologies of human language, writing and reading, all invented by mere humans, long ago, and not given by imaginary Allah. Most pens require gravity to pull ink from the pen to the paper, with gravity and paper holders (stones) to hold the paper or papyrus down.

Also note the magical talking ability of the Pen, in Muhammad’s story, along with its implicit omniscience (knowing what’s going to happen), omnipotence (creates its own ink and paper?) and omnipresence (needs no hand to hold and guide it). Thus, this pen is divine and more powerful than Allah, due to Muhammad’s stupidity.

Now consider the nonsense of Muhammad, that Allah needs a magic divine pen that creates its own paper to record what happens, instead of using “creation” itself as a record of its own activity. Today, physicists are treating the universe as if it were INFORMATION. For example: “A Universe Built of Information”. If this view of the universe is correct, which it does seem to be, then any real god outside of this universe, can treat this universe as an information record by itself, with no need to have a magical pen writing on imaginary paper. Muhammad’s inability to conceive of this and instead inventing tales of divine pens that compete with Allah, show Muhammad’s ignorance, showing Allah, Islam, Koran and Muhammad are false.

So what is the Pen? It’s Muhammad boasting about his scribal abilities to his father, Waraqa. The first thing Allah created, was his pen, his son, Muhammad. For more, read “Who is Allah?“

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