Koran 41:9-12

41:9 Say, “Do you indeed disbelieve in He who created the earth in two days and attribute to Him equals? That is the Lord of the worlds.”

10 And He placed on it [i.e., the earth] firmly set mountains over its surface, and He blessed it and determined therein its [creatures’] sustenance in four days without distinction – for [the information of] those who ask.

11 Then He directed Himself to the heaven while it was smoke and said to it and to the earth, “Come [into being], willingly or by compulsion.”

They said, “We have come willingly.”

12 And He completed them as seven heavens within two days and inspired [i.e., made known] in each heaven its command.

And We adorned the nearest heaven with lamps [i.e., stars, for beauty] and as protection.

That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.

Koran 41:9-12

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.

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.

Muhammad commits shirk with: “We”, “Us” or “Our”, placing Allah as a companion to himself, showing that Allah is incoherent, imaginary, and fictional, and so Islam is incoherent with monotheism, thus Islam is contradictory and false.

Who is Muhammad supposed to be talking to here? Obviously, the Quraysh in Mecca and the Nabateans are in Petra. Muhammad is still trying to get alms to support himself, so he tries to tell a story about how the earth and the heavens are formed, and pathetically gets it wrong. If the people around him had heard from the Jews and Christians, they would already know that the Abrahamic creation myths don’t have mountains placed from above, don’t have the earth and the sky talking, and there’s no sustenance placed by an imaginary Allah. Muhammad’s people already knew that they had to plant and pick orchards, farm crops and herd animals to provide their own food. They knew that it wasn’t Allah providing but their own hard work. The more astute amongst the crowd, particularly the Jews and Christians, would have noticed that Muhammad got the Abrahamic creation account wrong, with 8 days instead of 6. Count for yourself:

41:9 …He who created the earth in two days…

…sustenance in four days…

…seven heavens within two days…

Koran 41:9-12

Two + four + two = EIGHT days, which is TWO days MORE than the Jewish and Christian account of SIX days. Thus, every Jew and Christian who heard this, knows immediately that Muhammad was a false prophet, for a false god, Allah, for a false religion, Islam, without even a false book, the Koran. Any pagan who had heard of the Jewish and Christian account of Creation would also know that Muhammad’s god Allah is worse than the Jewish and Christian god in taking LONGER than a week to complete creation. For more about this, see Koran – 6 or 8 days?

Mountains are obviously a part of Earth, as shown:

Claiming that mountains are placed from above, is obvious nonsense, when most mountains can be seen to be bent up, or have many layers in them:

However, if Muhammad lived in Petra, Jordan, then his assertion that mountains are placed from above might be forgivable if Muhammad’s eyesight was weak:

If Muhammad’s eyesight was weak, perhaps he was near-sighted? He would be unable to see the layered nature of mountains that immediately contradicted his assertion that mountains are placed.

The nonsense about the 7 heavens could be from the Sabaeans who apparently worshipped the stars, or it could come from the 7 classical planets, which Muhammad’s Persian and doctor companion would have learned from his university education in Persia. Or from Waraqa who educated Muhammad in reading, writing and other topics.

Verse 12 seems like an obvious addition to the Jewish and Christian Creation story. Unifying Sabaean religious nonsense with the Jewish and Christian Creation story seems like the hallmark of the tawhid of Muhammad, unifying religions together into his nonsense, Islam.

Muhammad calls the stars “lamps” being unable to name them correctly, and obviously doesn’t know what meteor showers are.

And of course, the earth, mountains and sky/heavens aren’t gods, despite Muhammad having them speak and act independently of Allah: “They said, “We have come willingly.””

Also note that Muhammad has forgotten about “Be!” and It Is!

Muhammad’s assertions about our Earth show he was a Flat Earther. Even the scholars of Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 41:9, agree with:

Allah says that He created the earth first, because it is the foundation, and the foundation should be built first, then the roof.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 41:9

You know Allah is false and so Allah is Muhammad, because our Earth is NOT the foundation and there’s no roof.

All these problems and more, show that Muhammad was a false prophet, for a false god, Allah, for a false religion, Islam, without even a false book, Koran.

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