What, or more importantly, who are the Darknesses in the Koran? Do note that in the following quotes, I’ve changed the translation to correctly show the plural “darkness” as “darknesses”. The link is to the original translation, showing the singular “darkness” instead of the plural. The translators fail to realise that Mo is trying to mock his enemies, the Darknesses.
Koran 2:17
Their example is that of one who kindled a fire, but when it illuminated what was around him, Allāh took away their light and left them in darknesses they could not see.
Koran 2:17
Another amusing recollection by Muhammad about his expulsion from his tribe.
Koran 2:19
Or like a rainstorm from the sky within which is darknesses, thunder and lightning.
They put their fingers in their ears against the thunderclaps in dread of death.
But Allāh is encompassing of the disbelievers.
Koran 2:19
Muhammad was frightened of the Darknesses, the thunderclaps against him, telling him he was a liar and mad. So he had Allah surround the disbelievers, the Darknesses, in Mecca. In Christianity and Judaism, God encompasses the believers.
Koran 2:257
Allah is the ally of those who believe. He brings them out from darknesses into the light.
And those who disbelieve – their allies are Taghut.
They take them out of the light into darknesses.
Those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.
Koran 2:257
What’s “Taghut“? No one knows.
Koran 5:15-16
5:15 O People of the Scripture, there has come to you Our Messenger making clear to you much of what you used to conceal of the Scripture and overlooking much.
There has come to you from Allāh a light and a clear Book 16 By which Allāh guides those who pursue His pleasure to the ways of peace and brings them out from darknesses into the light, by His permission, and guides them to a straight path.
Koran 5:15-16
Remember, Muhammad didn’t have a book, but was a “light”.
Koran 6:1
praise is to Allāh, who created the heavens and the earth and
made the darknesses and the light. Then those who disbelieve equate with their Lord.
Koran 6:1
Now you can see that the “darknesses” and the “light” refer to the Meccans and Muhammad. The “Darknesses” are those who disbelieve – those who associate with Allah the idol, which the Meccans did, along with Muhammad before he invented Islam and in the Satanic Verses.
Koran 6:39
But those who deny Our verses are deaf and dumb; in darknesses.
Whomever Allāh wills – He sends astray; and whomever He wills – He puts him on a straight path.
Koran 6:39
Another repeat by Muhammad.
Koran 6:59
And with Him are the keys of the unseen; none knows them except Him. And He knows what is on the land and in the sea. Not a leaf falls but that He knows it. And no grain is there within the darknesses of the earth and no moist or dry but that it is in a clear record.
Koran 6:59
The Darknesses store grain in Mecca, and Muhammad has the receipts.
Koran 6:63
Say, “Who rescues you from the darknesses of the land and sea you call upon Him imploring and privately, ‘If He should save us from this, we will surely be among the thankful.'”
Koran 6:63
Muhammad took his men with him.
Koran 6:97

And it is He who placed for you the stars that you may be guided by them through the darknesses of the land and sea.
We have detailed the signs for a people who know.
Koran 6:97
Muhammad compares himself with the stars, not the constellations. Muhammad guides his men from Mecca.
Koran 6:122
And is one who was dead and We gave him life and made for him light by which to walk among the people like one who is in the darknesses, never to emerge therefrom?
Thus it has been made pleasing to the disbelievers that which they were doing.
Koran 6:122
The disbelievers are the people and the “one” in the Darknesses; in Mecca. The one is the Eminent.
Koran 13:16
Say, “Who is Lord of the heavens and earth?”
Say, “Allāh.”
Say, “Have you then taken besides Him allies not possessing [even] for themselves any benefit or any harm?”
Say, “Is the blind equivalent to the seeing? Or is Darknesses equivalent to light? Or have they attributed to Allāh partners who created like His creation so that the creation seemed similar to them?”
Say, “Allāh is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the Prevailing.”
Koran 13:16
The Darknesses are the blind, those who attribute daughters (and a wife) to Allah, the moon god idol. Note the association here: Muhammad claims the daughters create. If there was one creation, then there’s no need to assert there are more creations: “partners who created like His creation”.
Koran 14:1-3 & 5
14:1 Alif, Lām, Rā. a Book which We have revealed to you, that you might bring mankind out of the Darknesses into the light by permission of their Lord – to the path of the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy – 2 Allāh, to whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And woe to the disbelievers from a severe punishment – 3 The ones who prefer the worldly life over the Hereafter and avert from the way of Allāh, seeking to make it deviant.
Those are in extreme error.
Koran 14:1-3
And We certainly sent Moses with Our signs, “Bring out your people from the Darknesses into the light and remind them of the days of Allāh.”
Indeed in that are signs for everyone patient and grateful.
Koran 14:5
Muhammad pretending to be Moses, repeating himself.
Koran 21:87
And the man of the fish, when he went off in anger and thought that We would not decree upon him. And he called out within the darknesses, “There is no deity except You; exalted are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers.”
Koran 21:87
Muhammad admitting to being a polytheist in Mecca.
Koran 24:40
Or like the Darknesses within an unfathomable sea which is covered by waves, upon which are waves, over which are clouds – Darknesses, some of them upon others.
When one puts out his hand, he can hardly see it.
And he to whom Allāh has not granted light – for him there is no light.
Koran 24:40
Not underwater, but in Mecca.
Koran 27:63
Is He [not best] who guides you through the darknesses of the land and sea and who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy?
Is there a deity with Allāh?
High is Allāh above whatever they associate with Him.
Koran 27:63
The Darknesses are they who associate with Allah the idol, the Meccans. The “Mercy” is the rain that ends the drought, preceded by the winds.
Koran 33:43 & 48
It is He who confers blessing upon you, and His angels that He may bring you out from the Darknesses into the light. And ever is He, to the believers, Merciful.
Koran 33:43
And do not obey the disbelievers and the hypocrites and disregard their annoyance, and rely upon Allāh. And sufficient is Allāh as Disposer of affairs.
Koran 33:48
The Darknesses are the disbelievers and hypocrites – the ones who annoy Muhammad.
Koran 35:20
Nor are the darknesses and the light,
Koran 35:20
The Darknesses in Mecca and the Light, Muhammad the Liar.
Koran 57:9
It is He who sends down upon His Servant verses of clear evidence that He may bring you out from the Darknesses into the light.
And indeed, Allāh is to you Kind and Merciful.
Koran 57:9
Koran 65:11
a Messenger reciting to you the distinct verses of Allāh that He may bring out those who believe and do righteous deeds from the Darknesses into the light. And whoever believes in Allāh and does righteousness – He will admit him into gardens beneath which rivers flow to abide therein forever. Allāh will have perfected for him a provision.
Koran 65:11
Koran 39:6 – No The
Notice “three” not “the”.
He created you from one soul. Then He made from it its mate, and He produced for you from the grazing livestock eight mates. He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation, within three darknesses. That is Allāh, your Lord; to Him belongs dominion. There is no deity except Him, so how are you averted?
Koran 39:6
Conclusion
The Arabic has plural Darknesses – referring to the rulers of Mecca who stoned Muhammad and cast him out. The English translations, written by Muslims, change the plural to singular in the translation, by mistake, because the translators didn’t recognise that the Darknesses refers to the rulers of Mecca who opposed Muhammad’s rebellion.
Muhammad was a false prophet, for a false god, Allah, for a false religion, Islam, without even a false book, the Koran.
