Koran 39:9-16

39:9 Is one who is devoutly obedient during periods of the night, prostrating and standing [in prayer], fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Lord, [like one who does not]?

Say, “Are those who know equal to those who do not know?”

Only they will remember [who are] people of understanding.

10 Say, “O My servants who have believed, fear your Lord. For those who do good in this world is good, and the earth of Allah is spacious. Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account [i.e., limit].”

11 Say, [O Muḥammad], “Indeed, I have been commanded to worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion. 12 And I have been commanded to be the first [among you] of the Muslims.”

13 Say, “Indeed I fear, if I should disobey my Lord, the punishment of a tremendous Day.”

14 Say, “Allah [alone] do I worship, sincere to Him in my religion, 15 So worship what you will besides Him.”

Say, “Indeed, the losers are the ones who will lose themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection. Unquestionably, that is the manifest loss.”

16 They will have canopies [i.e., layers] of fire above them and below them, canopies.

By that Allah threatens [i.e., warns] His servants.

O My servants, then fear Me.

Koran 39:9-16

The first verse is so badly constructed that the translators must correct it.

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 the several repetitions of “Say”, obviously Muhammad was preparing for a speech of some kind and these are his notes.

Muhammad asks a rhetorical question, regarding one single prayer at night, when it’s the hadith that specified 5x daily prayers, not Koran. Then Muhammad reiterates the question. To whom? Obviously to the crowd, not the reader or listener.

Notice that Muhammad claims in his speech to have been commanded to worship Allah, yet, Allah never says this to Muhammad – recall that Muhammad’s Koran supposedly comes from Jibril to Muhammad. Similarly, for being the first of the Muslims, which shows that Islam originates with Muhammad, as it does. This shows Islam is not Abrahamic and so Allah is Muhammad, and Muhammad is Allah. This is confirmed by: “O My servants, then fear Me.” Fear Muhammad – fear Allah.

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