Qur’an 11:61-68

A Qur’an Like It.

Here’s the Sahih International translation:

11:61 And to Thamūd [We sent] their brother Ṣāliḥ. He said, “O my people, worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him. He has produced you from the earth and settled you in it, so ask forgiveness of Him and then repent to Him. Indeed, my Lord is near and responsive.”

62 They said, “O Ṣāliḥ, you were among us a man of promise before this. Do you forbid us to worship what our fathers worshipped? And indeed we are, about that to which you invite us, in disquieting doubt.”

63 He said, “O my people, have you considered: if I should be upon clear evidence from my Lord and He has given me mercy from Himself, who would protect me from Allāh if I disobeyed Him? So you would not increase me except in loss. 64 And O my people, this is the she-camel of Allāh – [she is] to you a sign. So let her feed upon Allāh’s earth and do not touch her with harm, or you will be taken by an impending punishment.”

65 But they hamstrung her, so he said, “Enjoy yourselves in your homes for three days. That is a promise not to be denied [i.e., unfailing].”

66 So when Our command came, We saved Ṣāliḥ and those who believed with him, by mercy from Us, and [saved them] from the disgrace of that day. Indeed, it is your Lord who is the Powerful, the Exalted in Might.

67 And the shriek seized those who had wronged, and they became within their homes [corpses] fallen prone 68 As if they had never prospered therein. Unquestionably, Thamūd denied their Lord; then, away with Thamūd.

Koran 11:61-68

Here’s my improved version:

11:61 Note what Muhammad says: “my Lord is near and responsive.”

62 The Quraysh ask a question, but Muhammad diverts.

63 Why would Allah need a she-camel except to race around the desert with Muhammad?

64 Allah and his she-camel is Muhammad and his she-camel.

65 Hamstringing the she-camel shows she’s not divine, thus showing Allah is not divine.

66 Nothing happened, 67 except Muhammad was 68 embarrassed.

Qur’an 11:61-68

As I’ve produced a better verse than Muhammad, this shows Muhammad is Allah, Allah is Muhammad, Koran comes from Muhammad (and friends), and Islam is false.
