Koran – Seventy Cubits

There’s a measurement in the Koran which is very specific:

69:30 [Allāh will say], “Seize him and shackle him. 31 Then into Hellfire drive him. 32 Then into a chain whose length is seventy cubits insert him.”

Koran 69:30-32

Seventy is only used once in the Koran.

This is very specific to one man. A man whom Muhammad obviously hates and whom Allah didn’t create. The man is seized and shackled, driven into “Hellfire” and then inserted into the “seventy cubits” “chain”. Seventy cubits seems to be a unit of measurement that Muhammad was familiar with. Converting to meters, this is slightly over 32 meters, or about 32 yards, if you’re American and using Imperial measurements. A chain of this length, formed into a circle, would have a diameter of over 10 meters. You could park two cars, nose to bumper, inside this circle, or one stretch limousine.

So what is this 70 cubit or 32 meter chain doing in “Hellfire”?

A purely casual seventy cubit length of chain,…

I suggest that as the man was driven into the Hellfire, there was a winch there with 70 cubits or 32 meters of iron chain on it, like this:

Iron Chain on Winch.

This chain, winch and crane were associated with this man, which is why it’s an apt punishment for him to be attached to it.

Chained to his own chain.

And that “inserted”? I suggest that this man used either animal or, worse, human labour to power his crane, and now he’s just one of the chain gang.

Perhaps he used it for building with, making a Christian bell tower for a church?

“Ask Not For Whom The Bell Tolls”

But, Infidel, it’s just a slave chain! But then it would be available to chain this man and others together from the start of his punishment. Nothing special.

Nothing special about the chain; the slaves are more important.

But infidel, there are other chains mentioned in the Qur’an! There are:

And if you are astonished, [O Muḥammad] – then astonishing is their saying, “When we are dust, will we indeed be [brought] into a new creation?”

Those are the ones who have disbelieved in their Lord, and those will have shackles upon their necks, and those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.

Koran 13:5

The word “shackles” is also translated as “the iron chains”.

And you will see the criminals that Day bound together in irons,

Koran 14:49

The word “irons” is also translated as “shackles” and “chains”.

And when they are thrown into a narrow place therein bound in chains, they will cry out thereupon for destruction.

Koran 25:13

And others bound together in irons.

Koran 38:38

The word “irons” is also translated as “shackles” and “chains”.

When the shackles are around their necks and the chains; they will be dragged

Koran 40:71

The word “shackles” is also translated as “the iron collars”.

Indeed, We have prepared for the disbelievers chains and shackles and a blaze.

Koran 76:4

None of these is special with respect to the length of the chain.

Am I Not a Man and a Brother?

Obviously, Muhammad was familiar with iron shackles used on slaves’ ankles, wrists and neck. This confirms Muhammad was a slaver and shows he was not a prophet. This also shows that the “Hellfire” is a physical place where people are chained together as slaves for the benefit of Muhammad.

Thus, as this man is dead, dust in the desert, and there’s no more iron chain, this means that the Fire has been destroyed, and thus, Paradise also has been destroyed by Muhammad and his men, consuming all the women and slaves. Therefore, no more Paradise and no more Fire, and Islam is over.

Muhammad was a false prophet, for a false god, Allah, for a false religion, Islam, without even a false book, the Koran.
