Koran 24:36-38

24:36 [Such niches are] in mosques which Allah has ordered to be raised and that His name be mentioned therein; exalting Him within them in the morning and the evenings 37 [Are] men whom neither commerce nor sale distracts from the remembrance of Allah and performance of prayer and giving of zakah.

They fear a Day in which the hearts and eyes will [fearfully] turn about – 38 That Allah may reward them [according to] the best of what they did and increase them from His bounty.

And Allah gives provision to whom He wills without account.

Koran 24:36-38

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 that the translators added: “[Such niches are]”. Why niches? Is this referring to the Qibla niche in mosque walls, which was added later to mosques in the history of Islam?

Perhaps the artistic effect of the niche, lit with concealed oil lamps in a gloomy mosque, would give the impression of Allah’s light, sunbeams, as shown by the artwork rays above the entrance?

Sunbeams from Allah our Sun

After checking with the scholars of Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 24:36, this does seem to be the case:

Having likened the heart of the believer and what it contains of guidance and knowledge to a lamp lit with good oil shining in a clear glass, Allah then states where it belongs, which is in the Masjids, the places on earth that are most beloved to Allah. The Masjids are His houses where He Alone is worshipped.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 24:36

So why does the Kaaba lack a niche?

The Kaaba in Petra, Jordan:

Kaaba, Petra, Jordan

The Kaaba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia:

Kaaba, in Mecca, Saudi Arabia

Obviously, because it’s not a mosque or a place of worship for Allah from a distance.

And [mention] when Abraham was raising the foundations of the House and [with him] Ishmael, [saying], “Our Lord, accept [this] from us. Indeed You are the Hearing, the Knowing. 128 Our Lord, and make us Muslims [in submission] to You and from our descendants a Muslim nation [in submission] to You. And show us our rites and accept our repentance. Indeed, You are the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful.”

Koran 2:127

Thus, you know that Muhammad is lying about Abraham and the Kaaba here, as there’s no niche in the Kaaba in Petra or in Saudi Arabia.

Thus, mosques are for Allah (Muhammad) and the Kaaba was made by pagans for pagan rituals, and not made by Abraham. Thus, Allah is a pagan god, as I’ve shown before, the bull god Sin, the rain god Baal and the moon god Lah, with daughters, a pet lion and a wife:

Al Lat, Al Uzza, Lion, Allah (Al Lah, Hubaal, Baal and Sin) and Manat, with the Sun goddess in the background arch

Thus, you can see, that this passage has been corrupted by later scribes to push the idea or innovation of a Qibla niche and wall to pray to Mecca, first Petra and later Saudi Arabia.

But, Infidel, the Qibla niche and wall is because Allah is in Mecca, so the prayer goes to the right place! Thus, Allah is local to Mecca and so, false.

But, Infidel, it’s because the mosques around the world have to point to the Kaaba! Not the black stone moved from Petra, Jordan to Mecca, Saudi Arabia?

But, Infidel, that’s just a stone from Allah! So why is the stone special?

Infidel, it’s because Muhammad kissed it, so we do it! I see.

The Black Stone is from Paradise.

Sunan an-Nasa’i 2935

The Prophet performed Raml from the (Black) Stone to the (Black) Stone for three (circuits), and he walked four (circuits).

Jami` at-Tirmidhi 857

Umar came near the Black Stone and kissed it and said “No doubt, I know that you are a stone and can neither benefit anyone nor harm anyone. Had I not seen Allah’s Messenger kissing you I would not have kissed you.”

Sahih al-Bukhari 1597

Umar bin Al-Khattab addressed the Corner (Black Stone) saying, “By Allah! I know that you are a stone and can neither benefit nor harm. Had I not seen the Prophet touching (and kissing) you, I would never have touched (and kissed) you.”

Then he kissed it and said, “There is no reason for us to do Ramal (in Tawaf) except that we wanted to show off before the pagans, and now Allah has destroyed them.”

Umar added, “(Nevertheless), the Prophet did that and we do not want to leave it (i.e. Ramal).”

Sahih al-Bukhari 1605

As you can see, the Muslims were performing the rituals of the pagan Quraysh, not in mockery, but in appreciation.

As for prayers, do they go through donkeys, dogs, women and stone walls?

No, Infidel! So Qibla walls stop the prayer. OK.

But, Infidel, you tricked me! So, donkeys, dogs and women don’t stop prayers?

But, but, Infidel….

The things which annul prayer were mentioned before me (and those were): a dog, a donkey and a woman. I said, “You have compared us (women) to donkeys and dogs. By Allah! I saw the Prophet praying while I used to lie in (my) bed between him and the Qibla. Whenever I was in need of something, I disliked to sit and trouble the Prophet. So, I would slip away by the side of his feet.”

Sahih al-Bukhari 514

Note that both Aisha and Muhammad were indoors and effectively, Muhammad was praying to Aisha.

But, Infidel, it was inconvenient and they didn’t have a mosque! A mosque with a wall so no one notices that a passing dog, donkey, woman, or Aisha, is asleep on her bed.

Prayers to Allah never work or do anything except show to others that you’re a righteous Muslim. They’re an expression of pride, not submission. Thus, prayer to Allah is evil.

Also, Allah has no provision. Not even to accept “Zakah”.

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