What’s Allah’s Throne like? But, first, let’s check out the impressive thrones that other people get:
Muslim Man’s Throne
Let’s check the thrones that Muslim men supposedly get in Islamic Paradise:
On thrones facing one another.
Koran 37:44
From the description “facing one another” this means about 12 to 18 Muslims, Muhammad’s companions, his “angels”, like numbers on a clock face or knights around a round table (that is missing). Here’s a picture of a round table suited for up to 18 people. Note especially the office chairs with wheels and armrests.
But, Infidel, there are millions of Muslim men,… Consider two of these round tables:
Consider the Muslim men sitting on the right side of the left table and the Muslim men sitting on the left side of the right table. Can they see each other? Obviously not, as they’re facing away from each other. So like Allah, there must only be one circle of thrones, and thus there must only be a tiny number of Muslim men on thrones, thus, the thrones are for Muhammad’s companions, his “angels”.
But, Infidel, it must be one large circle of Muslim men! Let’s consider 120 million Muslim men – the rest weren’t righteous enough and were sent to the Fire. The men must be given enough space to sit, so at least one meter from nose to nose. That’s a circle with a circumference of 120 million meters or 120,000 KM. The circumference of a circle is Pi × Diameter, thus the Diameter is over 38,000 KM, which is over three times greater than the size of our Earth, 12,756 KM. Obviously, this is impractical, and each Muslim man can’t see those opposite or more than a few men to either side.
But, Infidel, the thrones are stacked like slices of watermelon! How can the men on the bottom see the men on the top? Even with glass floors, the physical bodies of the Muslim men above block the lines of sight. And you know that Muslims aren’t transparent (or honest).
But, Infidel, the thrones are stacked around the inside of a sphere! Some Muslim men will still be looking at the backs of the other men in front of them. And you know that Muslims aren’t transparent (or honest).
But, Infidel, it’s like that movie featuring large numbers of aliens in a government building! Like this:
Even with this system, there’s not enough room for all Muslims.
Let’s continue with an even larger throne for Muslim men:
56:15 On thrones woven [with ornament], 16 Reclining on them, facing each other.
Koran 56:15-16
Naturally, a sideways reclining couch will occupy more space and are even more impractical than the first.
These thrones are like Roman reclining couches, used by upper-class Roman citizens. This is from a Roman Emperor:
Let’s compare it with a really nice modern recliner:
I hope you can see that the modern recliner is better than the primitive Roman emperor’s couch.
As you can see Muhammad’s promise is impractical and was given to his limited number of Muslims, his companions or “angels”, who would sit around one table, like this:
Muslimah’s Throne?
But, Infidel, what about the Muslimah’s throne? She doesn’t get one. The best she gets in the Islamic Paradise is a couch or bed she can sit on while drinking from her golden cup. Nothing like this bed:
Joseph’s Throne
12:100 And he raised his parents upon the throne, and they bowed to him in prostration.
And he said, “O my father, this is the explanation of my vision of before. My Lord has made it reality. And He was certainly good to me when He took me out of prison and brought you [here] from bedouin life after Satan had induced [estrangement] between me and my brothers. Indeed, my Lord is Subtle in what He wills. Indeed, it is He who is the Knowing, the Wise. 101 My Lord, You have given me [something] of sovereignty and taught me of the interpretation of dreams. Creator of the heavens and earth, You are my protector in this world and the Hereafter. Cause me to die a Muslim and join me with the righteous.”
Koran 12:100-101
Again, little detail about the throne of Joseph.
Queen of Sheba’s Throne
First, the report of a Hoopoe (Roman officer – played by Muhammad):
27:22 But he [i.e., the hoopoe] stayed not long and said, “I have encompassed [in knowledge] that which you have not encompassed, and I have come to you from Sheba with certain news. 23 Indeed, I found [there] a woman ruling them, and she has been given of all things, and she has a great throne. 24 I found her and her people prostrating to the sun instead of Allāh, and Satan has made their deeds pleasing to them and averted them from [His] way, so they are not guided, 25 [And] so they do not prostrate to Allāh, who brings forth what is hidden within the heavens and the earth and knows what you conceal and what you declare – 26 Allāh – there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Great Throne.”
Koran 27:22-26
Note especially this:
23 … she has a great throne.
26 … Lord of the Great Throne.”
Excerpts, Koran 27:22-26
Here’s the word-for-word, so you can compare:
23 … and for her | (is) a throne | great.
26 … (the) Lord | (of) the Throne | the Great.”
Word-for-word, Excerpts, Koran 27:22-26
So, the translation looks very similar:
23 … great throne.
26 … Great Throne.
Excerpts, Koran 27:22-26
But, this is merely a hoopoe (played by Muhammad) – one can’t expect great descriptive words from a mere bird, quoted by Allah in his perfect Qur’an, a guidance for all ages 6 and up, for those who are of Muhammad’s tribe and can read Arabic.
But, Infidel, the Arabic is different! Yes, yet the Muslim translators have translated the different Arabic words to the same English words: “great throne”. I suspect this has something to do with the Queen of Sheba being female and Allah being male, and so somehow their thrones are female and male, respectively. But, I’m no expert in translation. I have to do my best with what expert Muslim translators have given me.
Here’s the next mention of the throne of the Queen of Sheba, from the same story as above:
27:38 [Solomon] said, “O assembly [of jinn], which of you will bring me her throne before they come to me in submission?”
39 A powerful one from among the jinn said, “I will bring it to you before you rise from your place, and indeed, I am for this [task] strong and trustworthy.”
40 Said one who had knowledge from the Scripture, “I will bring it to you before your glance returns to you.”
And when [Solomon] saw it placed before him, he said, “This is from the favor of my Lord to test me whether I will be grateful or ungrateful. And whoever is grateful – his gratitude is only for [the benefit of] himself. And whoever is ungrateful – then indeed, my Lord is Free of need and Generous.”
41 He said, “Disguise for her her throne; we will see whether she will be guided [to truth] or will be of those who is not guided.”
42 So when she arrived, it was said [to her], “Is your throne like this?”
She said, “[It is] as though it was it.”
[Solomon said], “And we were given knowledge before her, and we have been Muslims [in submission to Allāh]. 43 And that which she was worshipping other than Allāh had averted her [from submission to Him]. Indeed, she was from a disbelieving people.”
Koran 27:38-43
But, this is merely Solomon (played by Muhammad) – one can’t expect great descriptive words from a mere false prophet pretending to be Solomon, quoted by Allah in his perfect Qur’an, a guidance for all ages 6 and up, for those who are of Muhammad’s tribe and can read Arabic.
Solomon’s Throne
And We certainly tried Solomon and placed on his throne a body; then he returned.
Koran 38:34
That’s rather short. But there’s worse. The word for “throne” in Arabic is “kur’siyyihi”.
Allah’s Throne (and Footstool)
Guess what Allah’s throne has? A “kur’siyyuhu”:
His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not.
Excerpt, Koran 2:255
The footnote for “Kursi” (in Sahih International translation) is:
Chair or footstool. It is not to be confused with al-ʿArsh (the Throne) , which is infinitely higher and greater than al-Kursī.
Footnote 4, Koran 2:255
So both Solomon’s throne and Allah’s throne have a footstool.
Note, don’t try Google Translate on these Arabic words. I get a part of a man’s reproductive anatomy.
Allah’s Throne
Allah’s throne is not as great as Allah’s Great Throne.
Had there been within them [i.e., the heavens and earth] gods besides Allāh, they both would have been ruined.
So exalted is Allāh, Lord of the Throne, above what they describe.
Koran 21:22
So exalted is Allāh, the Sovereign, the Truth; there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Noble Throne.
Koran 23:116
Thrones aren’t noble. I suggest that Muhammad was trying to say that Allah is worthy of honour or honourable, instead of “Noble”, like this:
So exalted is Allāh, the Sovereign, the Truth; there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Throne, honourable.
Adjusted Translation, Koran 23:116
This is confirmed by:
Honorable Owner of the Throne,
Koran 85:15
And you will see the angels surrounding the Throne, exalting [Allāh] with praise of their Lord.
And it will be judged between them in truth, and it will be said, “[All] praise to Allāh, Lord of the worlds.”
Koran 39:75
Exalted is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Lord of the Throne, above what they describe.
Koran 43:82
Allah’s Great Throne
A bird named Muhammad lies about Allah’s throne:
27:26 Allāh – there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Great Throne.”
27 [Solomon] said, “We will see whether you were truthful or were of the liars.
Koran 27:26-27
But, Infidel, he wasn’t a liar?! Allah’s Great Throne is the same as Solomon’s Great Throne.
But infidel, it was a bird! Don’t parrot.
But if they turn away, [O Muḥammad], say, “Sufficient for me is Allāh; there is no deity except Him. On Him I have relied, and He is the Lord of the Great Throne.”
Koran 9:129
The conditional in the verse “if” shows that this is a reaction. Thus this comes from Muhammad, not from a pre-existing text.
Say, “Who is Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Great Throne?”
Koran 23:86
Muhammad asks a question, presuming his audience already knows, showing he and his recitation, his Koran, is from his context.
There are no seven heavens. Even in Muhammad’s Koran, he describes eight heavens.
Above the Throne
Indeed, your Lord is Allāh, who created the heavens and earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne.
Excerpt, Koran 7:54
So, Allah is above the “Throne” and presumably above “the heavens and earth”.
Indeed, your Lord is Allāh, who created the heavens and the earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne, arranging the matter [of His creation].
There is no intercessor except after His permission.
That is Allāh, your Lord, so worship Him.
Then will you not remember?
Koran 10:3
No one remembers Allah. Not even Muslims. This shows Muhammad was a false prophet.
It is Allāh who erected the heavens without pillars that you [can] see; then He established Himself above the Throne and made subject the sun and the moon, each running [its course] for a specified term.
He arranges [each] matter; He details the signs that you may, of the meeting with your Lord, be certain.
Koran 13:2
The Most Merciful [who is] above the Throne established.
Koran 20:5
He who created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six days and then established Himself above the Throne – the Most Merciful, so ask about Him one well informed
Koran 25:59
It is Allāh who created the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them in six days; then He established Himself above the Throne.
You have not besides Him any protector or any intercessor; so will you not be reminded?
Koran 32:4
It is He who created the heavens and earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne.
He knows what penetrates into the earth and what emerges from it and what descends from the heaven and what ascends therein; and He is with you wherever you are.
And Allāh, of what you do, is Seeing.
Koran 57:4
Notice the corrupt repetition.
As a reminder, there’s no up, down, above or below in our universe as shown here:
Throne upon Water
And it is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days – and His Throne had been upon water – that He might test you as to which of you is best in deed.
But if you say, “Indeed, you are resurrected after death,” those who disbelieve will surely say, “This is not but obvious magic.”
Koran 11:7
Indeed, it’s magic how the wet floor disappears in the desert.
Owner of the Throne
Muhammad claims Allah is the owner of the Throne.
Say, [O Muḥammad], “If there had been with Him [other] gods, as they say, then they [each] would have sought to the Owner of the Throne a way.”
Koran 17:42
[He is] the Exalted above [all] degrees, Owner of the Throne; He places the inspiration of His command [i.e., revelation] upon whom He wills of His servants to warn of the Day of Meeting.
Koran 40:15
Honorable Owner of the Throne,
Koran 85:15
How do I know that Allah’s wife is with Allah?
Once I was with the Prophet in the mosque at the time of sunset.
The Prophet said, “O Abu Dharr! Do you know where the sun sets?”
I replied, “Allah and His Apostle know best.”
He said, “It goes and prostrates underneath (Allah’s) Throne; and that is Allah’s Statement:– ‘And the sun runs on its fixed course for a term (decreed). And that is the decree of All-Mighty, the All-Knowing….’ (K36:38)
Sahih al-Bukhari 4802
The Sun goddess, Ackbar:
Of course, the Sun never goes to or prostrates under Allah’s throne. She’s not his wife. She always disobeys Allah. She isn’t even a she. The Sun is a giant ball of hydrogen fusing into helium, creating light:
So what does Allah’s throne really look like?
Litter not Throne
Those [angels] who carry the Throne and those around it exalt [Allāh] with praise of their Lord and believe in Him and ask forgiveness for those who have believed, [saying], “Our Lord, You have encompassed all things in mercy and knowledge, so forgive those who have repented and followed Your way and protect them from the punishment of Hellfire.
Koran 40:7
How do I know Allah’s Throne has 8 litter bearers? Muhammad tells us:
And the angels are at its edges.
And there will bear the Throne of your Lord above them, that Day, eight [of them].
Koran 69:17
A Roman litter like this would have seemed like a gold-plated limousine in Muhammad’s time. It had a footstool for the benefit of the Roman VIP inside.
The Prophet said, “The people will fall unconscious on the Day of Resurrection, then suddenly I will see Moses holding one of the pillars of the Throne.”
Abu Huraira said: The Prophet said, “I will be the first person to be resurrected and will see Moses holding the Throne.”
Sahih al-Bukhari 7427, 7428
The throne is made of wood and can be “written” or carved:
The Prophet said, “When Allah had finished His creation, He wrote over his Throne: ‘My Mercy preceded My Anger.’
Sahih al-Bukhari 7422
Allah’s Messenger said, “When Allah created the creations, He wrote with Him on His Throne: ‘My Mercy has preceded My Anger.”
Sahih al-Bukhari 7453
Where is Allah and Who is his Throne?
81:19 [That] indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger [i.e., Gabriel] 20 [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position], 21 Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.
Koran 81:19-21
Allah’s throne is Muhammad.
And your companion [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad] is not [at all] mad.
Koran 81:22
Conclusion
Muhammad was a false prophet, for a false god, Allah, for a false religion, Islam, without even a false book, the Koran.
