Islamic Fate?

First, let’s reiterate that Islamic Fate is incoherent nonsense, for everyone except Muhammad. Worse, for Islam, Muhammad is dead, so even that reasonable exception is now destroyed.

What is Islamic Fate?

So, what is Islamic Fate? Well, because it’s irrational and false, there are lots of definitions for Islamic Fate or Predestination in Islam, and they’re all wrong, in various ways. Note that the authors of the Wikipedia page have definitely got some of the definitions wrong as well, as there are no souls in Islam.

Muslim Definition of Islamic Fate

So let’s go to an Islamic website, and see what they have on Destiny and Free Will. Let’s go over the 6 basic facts the Muslim author, Salman Yazdani, gives:

1. Allah is the Only Sustainer of the whole universe and He is the Most Merciful. The Koran begins with, “Praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy…” (1:2)
2. Allah has created humans in the finest state. Allah mentions in the Koran: “We have certainly created man in the best of stature.” (95:4)
3. The primary objective of human life is to worship Allah. “And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.” (51:56). It must be noted that the Islamic concept of worship encompasses all human endeavours that are pursued just ends, and in accordance with Allah’s commandments.
4. Our life is a test and we’ll be judged for our actions in the hereafter. Allah says in the Koran, “Blessed be He in Whose hands is Dominion; and He over all things hath Power; He Who created Death and Life, that He may try which of you is best in deed: and He is the Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving.” (67:1-2).
5. Allah’s All Wise, and He tests us according to our strength. The Koran cites: “Allah does not burden any soul with more than it can bear: each gains whatever good it has done, and suffers its bad.” (2:286)
6. Allah is Omniscient and Omnipresent – i.e., he is fully aware of His creation and is always present. He is also All Powerful, so whatever He decrees takes place, and whatever He does not will, does not happen. Allah – there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great. (2:255)

Note that I corrected their “God” to “Allah”, Muhammad’s servant, and “Quran” to “Koran”, Muhammad’s recitation. Let’s deal with and demolish each point:

Point #1 – Allah is the Sustainer

This is false as the evidence for this, Koran 1 is Muhammad’s bad copy/paste of the Lord’s Prayer from Jesus in the Bible. The entire chapter is addressed to Allah and obviously is not from Allah, thus showing Muhammad’s Koran is from Muhammad and his friends, not from Allah. This shows Allah is false. For more, see:

• Koran 1;
• Koran 1:1;
• Koran 1:2-4;
• Koran 1:5;
• Koran 1:6-7;
• Where are we?

Point #2 – Allah has created humans

Allah never creates humans. IVF and human contraception and fertility testing immediately contradict this. Worse, the verse states “man” instead of “all humans” – women are 1/2 of the humans. As for “best of stature”, this is contradicted by birth defects and stillborn babies. Worse, a birth defect that is corrected by humans, like hare lip and similar malformations, immediately shows that Allah is false, as we make better the “mistake” of Allah. Far worse, we’re evolved and not created, and this is a fact.

For more, see What are we?

Point #3 – Humans are to Worship Allah

This is pointless. Allah’s angels worship Allah 24×7, which is immensely more efficient than humans who only worship 5× daily, despite being commanded in Koran to worship 2× or 3× daily. Thus if Allah desires worship, making more angels to worship is far more valuable than mere humans, who have to be ordered to worship. Muhammad’s incoherence about prayer shows Allah is false, which means Islam is false. Instead, Muslim worship is intended by Muhammad to be directed to Muhammad.

Point #4 – Our life is a Test

This again is pointless, as humans without Islam don’t know they’re being tested and so they will fail. If they’re tested and judged without the benefit of Islam, then Islam is obviously worthless and Allah is condemning himself, and thus Allah is false. Note that the verse mentions the imaginary Jinn.

For more, see Jinn?

Point #5 – Allah Tests Us to Our Strength

This is immediately contradicted by people being killed in natural disasters (supposedly from Allah) and murdered by Muslims (acting in accordance with Islam). Also, the verse references Allah in the third person, when Allah is supposedly the author of the Koran.

For more, see Koran 2:285-286.

Point #6 – Allah is Omniscient and Omnipresent

This is false because the Koran verse refers to Allah in the third person. It is created by Muhammad instead. Also, the verse indicates that Allah is the sustainer of false gods and Satan. Obviously, this is incoherent, showing Allah is false.

For more, see Koran 2:255.

Conclusion

The Muslim article ultimately advocates for free will, which is in contradiction with Islam’s doctrine and is, strangely, in accord with Protestant Christian Free Will. The author quotes:

57:22 No disaster strikes upon the earth or among yourselves except that it is in a register before We bring it into being – indeed that, for Allah, is easy – 23 In order that you not despair over what has eluded you and not exult [in pride] over what He has given you.

Koran 57:22-23

Let’s consider the disaster of the Torah, Psalms and Bible (with respect to the Koran and Islam). These are supposedly from Allah, yet clearly are written by mere humans. Worse, Muhammad clearly expects his Muslim bandits to have heard the stories the Jews read out from Torah, translated by the Jews into Arabic. Obviously, this is impossible for people born after Muhammad committed genocide against the Jews. Thus all Muslims alive today are false Muslims. Worse, Muhammad didn’t expect his Koran to be written down, and cursed Muslims for writing it down and claiming it came from Allah when obviously it doesn’t:

So woe to those who write the “scripture” with their own hands, then say, “This is from Allah,” in order to exchange it for a small price. Woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for what they earn.

Koran 2:79

This curse obviously applies to Muslims who write the “scripture”, Muhammad’s Koran, with their own hands as they do:

As these problems fundamentally contradict the notion that Allah created Koran, then Allah, Islam, Islamic Paradise, Islamic Fire, Muhammad and Koran are all false.

In conclusion, the article’s author states:

In conclusion, Destiny is one of the articles of faith in Islam. It teaches Muslims to make the most out of their resources and leave the results to God.

Destiny and Free Will

On the contrary, Islamic Fate tells Muslims to never improve their processes and never innovate and invent – everything has already been discovered or rather, revealed. The West discovers, innovates, improves and constantly reinvents. This is one of the reasons the first Islamic Caliphate faltered and died. Islam died with the death of the Islamic caliphates, repeatedly. Islam ended in 2020 as it’s already dead, long ago.

Islamic Fate for Muhammad and Not for Us

So why do I assert that Islamic Fate is for Muhammad when I’ve already proven it’s false for all of us? Obviously, the Islamic doctrine of Islamic Fate has to come from somewhere, and I’m asserting that it comes, like most of Islam, from Muhammad and, in particular, his peculiar mental state.

Born to the Rhythm

But first, here’s a song to listen to:

I apologise if you hate Taylor Swift or this song or her music. To follow along, pick any relatively simple song of your choice, pop, rock or similar, and have the lyrics with chorus handy. For now, I quote the lyrics for the above song:

I used to think one day we’d tell the story of us
How we met and the sparks flew instantly
People would say, “they’re the lucky ones”

I used to know my place was a spot next to you
Now I’m searching the room for an empty seat
‘Cause lately I don’t even know what page you’re on

Oh, a simple complication
Miscommunications lead to fall out
So many things that I wish you knew
So many walls up I can’t break through

Now I’m standing alone in a crowded room
And we’re not speaking and I’m dying to know
Is it killing you like it’s killing me yeah
I don’t know what to say since the twist of fate
When it all broke down and the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now next chapter

How’d we end up this way?
See me nervously pulling at my clothes
And trying to look busy
And you’re doing your best to avoid me
I’m starting to think one day I’ll tell the story of us
How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
But you held your pride like you should have held me
Oh, I’m scared to see the ending
Why are we pretending this is nothing?
I’d tell you I miss you but I don’t know how
I’ve never heard silence quite this loud

Now I’m standing alone in a crowded room
And we’re not speaking and I’m dying to know
Is it killing you like it’s killing me yeah
I don’t know what to say since the twist of fate
When it all broke down and the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now

This is looking like a contest
Of who can act like they care less
But I liked it better when you were on my side
The battle’s in your hands now
But I would lay my armor down
If you’d say you’d rather love than fight
So many things that you wish I knew
But the story of us might be ending soon

Now I’m standing alone in a crowded room
And we’re not speaking and I’m dying to know
Is it killing you like it’s killing me yeah
I don’t know what to say since the twist of fate
When it all broke down and the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, now

And we’re not speaking and I’m dying to know
Is it killing you like it’s killing me yeah
I don’t know what to say since the twist of fate
When it all broke down and the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now

The Story Of Us, Taylor Swift

Note that I’ve edited the lyrics to match as much as I can, of the song by Taylor Swift, as the published lyrics I started with are, for some reason, cut short.

So why am I comparing the lyrics of Taylor Swift to the Koran from Muhammad? First, let’s acknowledge that Taylor Swift’s lyrics are much better in American English than Muhammad’s Koran. This immediately shows that Muhammad’s Koran comes from Muhammad (and friends) not from Allah. Thus Allah is imaginary.

Let’s go over the lyrics of the song “The Story Of Us”. Note the lyrics are self-referential: “I used to think one day we’d tell the story of us”. There’s the next chapter mark in the song: “next chapter” and the end: “the end”. There are repetitions of the chorus with variations too. Obviously, this looks like Koran, but better written, better sung, and with backing music that the Koran lacks.

As the Koran was recited or sung, let’s pick a random Koran chapter that is sung:

Note that I’ve already refuted all of chapter 15 of the Koran. Listen to this so called “beautiful” “recitation” which is actually sung, not recited. Note how the singer pauses and hesitates in places, and at 5:07 (in the video) the singer has trouble with the complex language of the speech of Iblis, in Koran 15:33:

He said, “Never would I prostrate to a human whom You created out of clay from an altered black mud.”

Koran 15:33

Obviously, Taylor Swift is better at singing and song-writing than Hazza Al Balushi and Muhammad. Especially compare the Muslim singer with the chorus in the Arabic version of The Lord’s Prayer:

What this shows is that the Koran was composed and sung, by Muhammad and friends in their native Arabic, and from this, we can see that the Koran is local, a song, not a text, and thus Islam, Allah, Muhammad and Koran are false.

Now let’s go on with why Islamic Fate is true for Muhammad. It’s because a song is “predestined” by the composer and the rhythm “forces” the lyrics upon the composer. Taylor Swift uses “next chapter” to switch around the rhythm in her song, and has to repeat and “corruptly” vary the words for effect and style.

For Muhammad, as he was involved in creating, composing and singing the Koran, again and again, he is forced by the demands of the rhythm to make his words fit – his own rhythm is “Allah” to his words. Thus Muhammad “obeys” the will of Allah in the musical rhythm in every chapter or song of the Koran songbook. Allah is a rhythm in Muhammad and his songs, his Koran.

OK, so that’s one aspect, as to why the musical rhythm “forces” Muhammad to sing verses, which make little logical sense, making the whole Koran, nonsense and lies. Next, here’s what Dan Gibson has to say about navigation and the Qibla direction:

Camel Caravans

This seems totally out of whack, but be patient and see how Muhammad’s fellow camel caravan merchants would navigate across the desert:

Note that in the third video, camel caravan merchants use marching poetry to “count” their steps across the desert to their desired destination. So rhythm dictates the pace of the caravan, dictates destination, dictates life and thus to Muhammad, seems to dictate fate, Islamic Fate. This then leads to the interesting hypothesis, that perhaps Muhammad’s chapters are based on marching poetry and this is also what the meaning of the chapter’s mysterious letters are. This hypothesis is also confirmed in the fourth video. For more, see: Mysterious Letters?

Now let’s see what’s in Muhammad’s head:

Three Heads Are Better than One

The next part involves Muhammad having three mental personalities. These are himself as a child, Muhammad as Allah – the “good” side of himself, and Muhammad as Demon, the “evil” side of himself. These are literally the two angels on either side of Muhammad’s head, on his metaphorical shoulders inside his mind’s plan of his body. For more, see Muhammad the Three.

As the child, Muhammad the child is “forced” to obey Allah to be good, and acts out, doing evil, obeying Demon. Allah, child Muhammad and Demon are the three main voices in the Koran. Muhammad speaks as Allah with I, and speaks as Demon with “We”.

As we see through the Koran, you can see Muhammad speaking for “Allah”, Allah speaking to Muhammad, Demon speaking to Muhammad and to others, and combinations (not including the places where a scribe writes by himself, instead of recording Muhammad’s nonsense. These are the various “singers”, as it were, in Muhammad’s music, the Koran. Moon comforts Muhammad, Demon threatens retribution on Muhammad’s foes or curses Muhammad himself.

This is why Islamic Fate seems “right” to Muhammad, he’s obeying the will of Moon (Allah), things go right, and things that go wrong or he needs to be evil, then it’s Demon who speaks. Meanwhile, Muhammad is the pure and innocent child who causes Muhammad’s face to almost “glow” in love.

The Pen

In the hadith, there’s the story of the Pen, created by Allah to record all of what happens before it happens. Note that what the Pen writes upon is a mystery to Muhammad, presumably because in Muhammad’s life, his scribes had no consistent writing surface or parchment, but their consistent possession was a pen.

Abdul-Wahid bin Sulaim said:

I arrived in Makkah and met Ata bin Abi Rabah. I said: O Abu Muhammad! Some people with us speak about Al-Qadar.

Ata said: I met Al-Walid bin Ubadah bin As-Samit and he said: My father narrated to me, he said: I heard the

Messenger of Allah saying: “Verily the first of what Allah created was the Pen. He said to it: “Write.” So it wrote what will be forever.”

Vol. 5, Book 44, Hadith 3319

Ubadah b. al Samit said to his son:

Son! You will not get the taste of the reality of faith until you know that what has come to you could not miss you, and that what has missed you could not come to you.

I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: The first thing Allah created was the pen.

He said to it: Write.

It asked: What should I write, my Lord?

He said: Write what was decreed about everything till the Last Hour comes.

Son! I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: He who dies on something other than this does not belong to me.

 Sunan Abi Dawud 4700

Muhammad said: “The Pen is lifted from the minor, the insane person and the sleeper.”

Vol. 3, Book 10, Hadith 2042

Muhammad said: “The pen has been lifted from three; for the sleeping person until he awakens, for the boy until he becomes a young man and for the mentally insane until he regains sanity.”

Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1423

Muhammad said: “The pen has been lifted from three: From the sleeper until he wakes up, from the minor until he grows up, and from the insane until he comes back to his senses or recovers.”

Sunan an-Nasa’i 3432

It was narrated from Aishah that:

the Messenger of Allah said. “The Pen has been lifted from three: from the sleeping person until he awakens, from the minor until he grows up, and from the insane person until he comes to his senses.”

In his narration, (one of the narrators Abu Bakr (Ibn Abu Shaibah) said: “And from the afflicted person, unit he recovers”

Vol. 3, Book 10, Hadith 2041

I entered upon Muhammad while there was a scribe in front of him, and I heard him saying: “Put the pen on your ear, for that is more conducive to the scribe remembering.”

Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2714

Narrated Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhani:

I heard Muhammad say: Were it not hard on my ummah, I would order them to use the tooth-stick at the time of every prayer.

Abu Salamah said: Zayd ibn Khalid used to attend the prayers in the mosque with his tooth-stick on his ear where a clerk carries a pen, and whenever he got up for prayer he used it.

Sunan Abi Dawud 47

Ibn ‘Abbas narrated:

“I was behind the Prophet(s.a.w) one day when he said: ‘O boy! I will teach you a statement: Be mindful of Allah and He will protect you. Be mindful of Allah and you will find Him before you. When you ask, ask Allah, and when you seek aid, seek Allah’s aid. Know that if the entire creation were to gather together to do something to benefit you- you would never get any benefit except that Allah had written for you. And if they were to gather to do something to harm you- you would never be harmed except that Allah had written for you. The pens are lifted and the pages are dried.'”

Vol. 4, Book 11, Hadith 2516

I said: “Muhammad, is one’s deed in that which has already dried of the Pen and what has passed of the Divine Decree, or is it in the future?”

He said: “No, it is in that which he already dried of the Pen and what has passed of the Divine Decree, and each person is facilitated for what he has been created.”

Vol. 1, Book 1, Hadith 91

Muhammad said: “Indeed Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, created His creation in darkness, then He cast His Light upon them, so whoever is touched by that light he is guided, and whoever is not, he goes astray. It is for this reason that I say that the pens have dried with Allah’s knowledge.”

Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2642

Jabir reported that Suriqa b. Malik b. Ju’shuin came and said:

“Allah’s Messenger, explain our religion to us (in a way) as if we have been created just now. Whosoever deeds we do today, is it because of the fact that the pens have dried (after recording them) and the destinies have began to operate or these have effects in future?”

Thereupon he said: “The pens have dried and destinies have begun to operate.

(Suraqa b. Malik) said: “If it Is so, then what is the use of doing good deeds?”

Zuhair said: Then Abu Zubair said something but I could not understand that and I said: “What did he say?”

Thereupon he said: “Act, for everyone is facilitated what he intends to do.”

Sahih Muslim 2648 a

Notice that “(Suraqa b. Malik)” knows he has free will.

Also, note the misapplication of the technology of Muhammad’s time to Allah. The pen’s writing needs to dry: “has already dried”, why would Allah’s technology need to operate by the rules of human technology? This talk of Allah using human writing technology shows Muhammad’s limited imagination, showing that he thought writing was magical, and surely a thing that Allah would be competent in, rather than vastly superseding the primitive writing technology of Muhammad’s time.

Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:

that ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab said: “When this Ayah was revealed: Some among them will be wretches and (others) blessed (11:105). I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying: ‘O Prophet of Allah! Based upon what are we then working; something that has already finished or something that has not yet happened?’

He said: ‘Rather something that has happened, and the Pens have already passed over it O ‘Umar! But for everyone, what he has been created for is made easy.'”

Vol. 5, Book 44, Hadith 3111

Notice that Muhammad changed “Pen” to “Pens”. This could be a translation issue.

Narrated `Aisha:

The commencement of (the Divine Inspirations to) Muhammad was in the form of true dreams. The Angel came to him and said, “Read! In the Name of your Lord Who has created all exists, has created man from a clot. Read! And your Lord is Most Generous, Who has taught (the writing) by the pen. (96.1-4)

Sahih al-Bukhari 4956

96:1 Recite in the name of your Lord who created – 2 Created man from a clinging substance.

3 Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous – 4 Who taught by the pen – 5 Taught man that which he knew not.

Koran 96:1-5

Note the disconnect between Allah creating the Pen, and teaching “man that which he knew not” when language is created, evolved, spoken, written, read and taught by humans, not by Allah.

Music for the Rhythm

Your Life, Your Course

The path we take in life is like the course of a ship, some places are the same as others, due to situations, and other places are spread apart, due to different choices and different destinations. Don’t dance to someone else’s rhythm, without knowing where they’re going to take you.
