This page is a refutation of the Muslim PDF “The Choice – 10 Evidences for the Prophethood of Muhammad”.
Let’s start with the title: “The Choice – 10 Evidences for the Prophethood of Muhammad”.
The writer implicitly claims that we have a “choice” in the title. Under Islam, there’s Islamic Fate, where supposedly Allah assigns each of us to Islamic Paradise or Fire respectively. Thus doing dawah or persuading people to join Islam and become Muslim is incoherent with Allah’s will in Islamic Fate. Yet, Muslims are known to deceive people into joining Islam and becoming Muslims. Thus this contradicts the will of Allah, thus showing Allah is false.
Note that in Islam Question and Answer, belief in al-qadr or Islamic Fate is part of Islam’s core beliefs:
Belief in al-qadar (the divine will and decree) is one of the pillars of faith, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, when he answered Jibreel’s question about faith: “(It means) believing in Allaah, His angels, His Books, His Messengers and the Last Day, and to believe in al-qadar (the divine decree) both good and bad.”
Is man’s fate pre-destined or does he have freedom of will?, Islam Q&A
Thus to believe in al-qadar (the divine will and decree AKA Islamic Fate) means that persuading others to be Muslims is a sign of lack of belief in the core doctrines of Islam and thus the Dawah member is a kaffir.
As for Muhammad being a prophet, in the Koran, Muhammad demotes himself down to merely a reminder:
So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder.
Koran 88:21
Thus from “Allah”, or rather Muhammad pretending to be Allah, Muhammad is shown to be not a prophet, but merely a reminder and thus, a false prophet, for a false god, for a false religion, Islam, without even a false book, Koran. For more of the many contradictions on this topic by Muhammad, see: Muhammad is or is not? Muhammad being incoherent on this important topic shows repeatedly that Muhammad is NOT a prophet.
The writer then claims that there must be a first cause, but along the way, admits:
Humans, like all animals, came from the earth. All life
The Choice – 10 Evidences…
came from the earth. The earth is part of the universe.
Notice that the writer admits that life ultimately comes from the Earth, not from Allah. For more about this, see: What are we? The writer also admits that the Earth is part of the universe, and is not separate from the universe. For more about this, see: Where are we?
In the Koran, Allah, or rather Muhammad pretending to be Allah, claims differently about life, coming from a special creation of Adam:
And certainly did We create man from an extract of clay.
Koran 23:12
This statement is about Adam, not individual human life. Note that Muhammad is unable to name the man in his verse – this is a common problem in Muhammad’s Koran. Muhammad has multiple contradictory stories about human life, one of the shorter versions is:
96:1 Recite in the name of your Lord who created – 2 Created man from a clinging substance.
Koran 96:1-2
Muhammad claims that Allah creates every “man” (sexism) from a “clinging substance” – something that Muhammad can’t name correctly.
Compare with the writer’s admission: “Humans, like all animals, came from the earth.”
For more about this, see: What are we?
In the Koran, Allah, or rather Muhammad pretending to be Allah, claims differently about the universe or rather the Flat Earth and Domed Sky, in 6 days:
And it is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days…
Koran 11:7
Two + four + two = eight (8) days according to Muhammad:
41:9 Say, “Do you indeed disbelieve in He who created the earth in two days and attribute to Him equals? That is the Lord of the worlds.”
10 And He placed on the earth firmly set mountains over its surface, and He blessed it and determined therein its [creatures’] sustenance in four days without distinction – for [the information] of those who ask.
11 Then He directed Himself to the heaven while it was smoke and said to it and to the earth, “Come [into being], willingly or by compulsion.”
They said, “We have come willingly.”
12 And He completed them as seven heavens within two days and inspired in each heaven its command. And We adorned the nearest heaven with lamps and as protection. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.
Koran 41:9-12
Note also the gods in the pantheon of Islam, the “heaven” or rather the Sky Dome, and the Earth who both act independently of Allah and are at the least subordinate to Allah. And of course, you know that our Earth is not a goddess and the Sky is not a god.
In the hadith, Muhammad claims differently yet again:
Abu Huraira reported that Allah’s Messenger took hold of my hands and said:
Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, created the clay on Saturday and He created the mountains on Sunday and He created the trees on Monday and He created the things entailing labour on Tuesday and created light on Wednesday and He caused the animals to spread on Thursday and created Adam (peace be upon him) after ‘Asr on Friday; the last creation at the last hour of the hours of Friday, i. e. between afternoon and night.
This hadith is narrated through another chain of transmitters.
Sahih Muslim 2789
One look at the Earth from the Moon, shows the obvious nonsense of Earth separate from the Sky:
Note that the “sky” is simply the thin skin of atmosphere caught by the Earth’s gravity. Muhammad didn’t know to mention that our Earth is in our Solar System, and doesn’t know what it’s like:
For more about this, see: Where are we?
Ultimately the writer claims that because there’s a finite regress of cause and effect, there must be a first cause and a first being for that cause. Yet, the writer pleads for a being without a cause, a creator who can’t correctly describe the universe and life in its own book, a creator whose prophet demotes himself from being a prophet. Obviously, this is incoherent, particularly when Muhammad in his Koran doesn’t use this argument of a first cause. Thus obviously the writer is a kuffar, not believing in his Koran.
The writer then effectively claims that because there are scientific laws in the universe, there must be a lawgiver, thus Allah, with: “There are laws of nature.” Unfortunately for the writer, there are no laws of nature in the universe, and more importantly, none of these laws are in the Koran. For example, there’s no: F=MxA, E=MC^2 or Fg = (M1xM2)/R2 etc. All scientific laws are both invented and discovered by scientists. They do not exist in nature or in the universe. Thus there is no law giver, thus there is no Allah, the law giver.
The writer then claims: “You did not create yourself…”, which is a lie, proven wrong by cell biology. Once we exist, as a fertilised egg, we DO create ourselves with the direct help of our mother, and the indirect help of our father in providing support for his wife, our mother.
The writer then claims: “When you lose consciousness, you have dreams. You may be asleep, but you still experience a reality in your unconscious state.” Unconsciousness is a form of consciousness. The brain and the mind still act to form models in the mind and act upon those models, even with the reduced capacity of unconsciousness. This is why we’re able to keep breathing, keep our heart breathing, and respond to outside events of sufficient importance for us to move from unconsciousness to consciousness. For example, most people while asleep, can wake up to the sound of their alarm clock or their mobile phone ringing, the cry of a child or loved one, or simply being shaken awake by a spouse or partner.
The writer is also incoherent with his Koran. Muhammad in his Koran, shows that people are taken away from their bodies with sleep, and then returned upon awakening, which is of course, utter nonsense. For more about this, see: Koran 6:60-62.
The writer then claims to deduce certain laws from a being who sets universes into motion, yet again, provides no evidence from his Koran for his nonsense, like: “comply with the rules of nature.” There are no rules or laws of nature. As we’re beings formed from matter, in living cells, all of our matter is automatically in accord with the universe, gravity, Earth, and so on. A man falling from a rope over a lake falls in the exactly the same manner as a weight of equal mass and shape.
The writer claims: “The Prophet Muhammad claimed to be a messenger for all times and all people.” Yet, the writer provides no evidence for this, from Muhammad’s Koran, or from Muhammad’s actions in history. Muhammad has been dead for 1400 years and never left Saudi Arabia, as far as I can see, so the claim to be a “messenger” (and note the downgrade by the writer too), “for all times and all people” is obviously false. Nor does Muhammad’s Koran count, as it’s written in Classica Arabic, the language of his tribe, the Quraysh, the Nabateans, not by Muhammad, but by his companions, in contradiction to Muhammad’s own instructions in his Koran:
2:78 And among them are unlettered ones who do not know the Scripture except in wishful thinking, but they are only assuming. 79 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 2:78-79
A “message” to all peoples needs to be in all of the languages of all peoples, not just the language of one people long since extinct.
And no, having translations written by mere Muslims, like the original obviously doesn’t count as Allah’s words.
For more about this, see Koran 2:78-79.
The writer then claims that Muhammad received divine revelations which are recorded in Muhammad’s Koran 96:1-5 as:
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
Notice that the write hasn’t noticed the obvious mistakes of Muhammad in this writing. Muhammad is told to: “Recite…”, TWICE, not WRITE. Thus automatically every written Koran is false, as it’s not a recitation by Muhammad. Note also that the “angel” or rather Muhammad the mad speaking to himself, refers not to GOD as earlier prophets did, but to “your Lord” TWICE.
Also note the lie by Muhammad (the angel is imaginary), “Who taught by the pen” – Allah never taught by the pen. Writing is taught by humans, always. For more about this chapter of Koran, see Koran 96. Surely if Allah taught by the pen, why is an “angel” here teaching Muhammad to “Recite”? Surely it would be better for Allah to teach Muhammad to write instead? Recall: “your Lord is the most Generous – 4 Who taught by the pen – 5 Taught man that which he knew not.” Why didn’t “your Lord” teach Muhammad “by the pen” to read and write?
The writer then claims that Allah teaches: “advise one another towards truth and advice one another towards patience” but that’s actually Muslims who do this, according to Muhammad, the speaker of the passage.
The writer then gives 10 numbered “evidence” for Islam, Allah, Koran and Muhammad.
Evidence 1 – Preservation of the Quran
There is no preservation of the Koran. For example, several verses in the Koran are fragmented.
For more, see: A Koran Like it?
Evidence 2 – No Contradictions
There’s loads of contradictions, nonsense and lies in Muhammad’s Koran.
For more, see: Koran – Contradictions?
Evidence 3 – The Quran Challenge
For more, see: A Surah Like It?
Evidence 4 – Prophecies in Islam
There are no prophecies in Islam. Muhammad quite plainly said in his Koran he has no miracles, and couldn’t see the unseen.
1 – The Roman Empire would defeat… in 3-9 years
False. See Muhammad and Romans.
2 – Warring Muslims will overtake the Arabian Peninsula
True, but there’s no prophecy for this. See the Koran passage contents which the writer omitted:
Allah has promised those who have believed among you and done righteous deeds that He will surely grant them succession [to authority] upon the earth just as He granted it to those before them and that He will surely establish for them [therein] their religion which He has preferred for them and that He will surely substitute for them, after their fear, security, [for] they worship Me, not associating anything with Me. But whoever disbelieves after that – then those are the defiantly disobedient.
Koran 24:55
And besides, the Muslims and the pagan Arabs already warred with each other.
3 – Islam will spread eastward and westward…
The writer references: “See the Hadith of Thawbaan in Sahih Muslim.” and doesn’t link to any source for this. The best I could find is Hadith Narrated By Thawban which doesn’t refer to this. Note that Islam spread North and South, by human efforts, just like the East and West expansion.
4 – There will be an increase in sexual immorality and STDs
Muhammad was sexually immoral (many wives, sex slaves and a child bride), and had STDs. He was infertile (no children), had satyriasis, and likely had other problems associated with STDs.
5 – Barefoot Arabs will compete to build tall buildings
The writer refers to yet another PDF and doesn’t bother to quote. I found it and here it is:
The Prophet replied, “That you see barefoot, unclothed herdsmen competing in the construction of tall buildings.”
Forbidden Prophecies by Abu Zakariyah, IERA
This quote is actually from a longer hadith here:
It was narrated that ‘Umar said:
We were sitting with the Prophet when a man came to him whose clothes were intensely white and whose hair was intensely black; no signs of travel could be seen upon him, and none of us recognized him. He sat down facing the Prophet, with his knees touching his, and he put his hands on his thighs, and said: “O Muhammad, what is Islam?”
He said: “To testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and that I am the Messenger of Allah, to establish regular prayer, to pay Zakat, to fast in Ramadan, and to perform Hajj to the House (the Ka’bah).”
He said: “You have spoken the truth.”
We were amazed by him – He asked a question, then told him that he had spoken the truth.
Then he said: “O Muhammad, what is Iman faith?”
He said: “To believe in Allah, His angels, His Messengers, His books, the Last day, and the Divine Decree (Qadar), both the good of it and the bad of it.”
He said: “You have spoken the truth.”
We were amazed by him. He asked a question, then told him that he had spoken the truth.
Then he said: “O Muhammad, what is Ihsan (right action, goodness, sincerity)?”
He said: “To worship Allah as if you see Him, for even though you do not see Him, He sees you.”
He asked: “When will the Hour be?”
He said: “The one who is being asked about it does not know more than the one who is asking.”
He asked: “Then what are its signs?”
He said: “When the slave woman gives birth to her mistress…”
(Waki’ said: “This means when non-Arabs will give birth to Arabs”)
“….and when you see barefoot, naked, destitute shepherds competing in constructing tall buildings.”
The Prophet met me three days later and asked me: “Do you know who that man was?”
I said: “Allah and his Messenger know best.”
He said: “That was Jibril, who came to you to teach you your religion.”
Vol. 1, Book 1, Hadith 63
The Messenger of Allah came out one day to the people, and a man came to him and said: “O Messenger of Allah, when will the Hour be?”
He said: “The one who is asked about it does not know more than the one who is asking. But I will tell you of its portents. When the slave woman gives birth to her mistress, that is one of its portents. When the barefoot and naked become leaders of the people, that is one of its portents. When shepherds compete in constructing buildings, that is one of its portents. (The Hour) is one of five (things) which no one knows except Allah.”
Then the Messenger of Allah recited the words: “Verily, Allah, with Him (alone) is the knowledge of the Hour, He sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs. (to the end of the Verse).”[Koran 31:34]
Sunan Ibn Majah 4044
Notice that “When the slave woman gives birth to her mistress…” is left out of the prophecy, showing it’s nonsense. As for the other “prophecy”: “…when you see barefoot, naked, destitute shepherds competing in constructing tall buildings.” – this refers to the building of Mecca and Kaaba in the PAST.
Worse, this “prophecy” is not from Muhammad or Allah. It’s from Umar: “It was narrated that ‘Umar said:” Thus it’s not a prophecy of Muhammad or Allah, just a tale from Umar.
Evidence 5 – The Quranic Cosmology
There is no cosmology in Muhammad’s Koran. Muhammad was a flat earther, 1000 years after the Greeks had determined the radius of the Earth. Muhammad has no details of what our solar system looks like and has no idea what the milky way galaxy is.
For more, see: Big Bang in Koran? and Where are we?
Specifically, the writer radically reinterprets a verse from Muhammad’s Koran to deny Muhammad’s Flat Earth.
He created the heavens and earth in truth. He wraps the night over the day and wraps the day over the night and has subjected the sun and the moon, each running [its course] for a specified term. Unquestionably, He is the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver.
Koran 39:5
Notice from the start that Muhammad shows his flat-Earth world view by having Allah as “He” create the “heavens” and “earth” and never capitalises “earth” to reference our planet Earth. The sentence: “He wraps the night over the day and wraps the day over the night” shows that Muhammad thought Allah created Night and Day, and actively moves them over the flat Earth. The real situation is as below, with no special creation of Day or Night. Night is merely the shadow of our Earth in our Sun’s constant light upon our Earth’s surface as our Earth rotates. Muhammad didn’t know our Earth rotates.
Notice also that Muhammad is describing the obvious course of the Sun and Moon in the sky, without mentioning that the Moon orbits Earth and BOTH orbit the Sun.
Evidence 6 – Biology and Embryology
There’s no correct description of biology or embryology in Muhammad’s Koran. For more, see: What are we?
The writer refers to Koran 76:2 and omits to quote the previous verse:
76:1 Has there [not] come upon man a period of time when he was not a thing [even] mentioned?
2 Indeed, We created man from a sperm-drop mixture that We may try him; and We made him hearing and seeing.
Koran 76:1-2
The phrase “a thing [even] mentioned” refers to the male ejaculate, which humans aren’t formed from. Muhammad then omits to mention the woman’s contribution, her egg and womb, which is sexism and shows his ignorance.
Humans are formed by the union of one sperm from the male and one egg inside the womb of the woman. After fertilisation, the egg, the new human being, starts “creating” themselves.
For more, see: What are we?
Evidence 7 – Structure of the Quran
The writer claims: “the Quranic surah (chapter) is connected from beginning to end, and the ending of one surah is connected to the beginning of the next surah.”
Yet, Muhammad’s Koran is assembled in roughly reverse chapter-length order and was never intended by Muhammad to be written down. It’s obviously in the wrong order and there is no “right” order, except temporal, which is only to be guessed at. The first passage from Jibril to Muhammad is chapter 96 and it’s an order to recite TWICE not write:
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
Why are there 95 chapters before the first passage? That’s the fault of the Muslim writers of the Koran, who show they have totally corrupted Muhammad’s Koran from it’s time-based “revelation” order.
For more, see Koran 96.
Evidence 8 – Numerical Precision
The writer claims: “The Quran was revealed circumstantially, which means that the Prophet Muhammad could not predict what people were going to ask him.” Which is an explicit admission that Muhammad was NOT a prophet.
The writer claims: “both the names Adam and Jesus are mentioned exactly 25 times in the Quran.” Which is an ignorant lie. The name “Adam” is in Muhammad’s Koran 28 times, not 25. The word “Jesus” is NOT in Muhammad’s Koran at all. Instead, Muhammad uses the wrong word “Isa” and that name is mentioned 25 times. This is obviously NOT “numerical precision”.
The writer claims: “This is but one of many examples of precise Quranic meticulousness which one could not contrive into the Quran.” and is proven false. Check for yourself with these links: Adam and Isa.
Evidence 9 – Historical Accuracy
The writer claims that the Koran’s chapter on Joseph is historically accurate when it’s not. I show the nonsense of Muhammad’s Koran about Joseph here: Story of Joseph and you can see that Muhammad bases his story of Joseph on what’s in the Torah and Bible.
Evidence 10 – Biblical Prophecy of Muhammad
There is no biblical prophecy of Muhammad, except as a false prophet, which Muhammad is, a false prophet who admits to only being a reminder in his own recitation:
So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder.
Koran 88:21
The writer quotes a single verse of the Bible Isaiah 42:11 and omits to refer to the complete passage for a full description. Isaiah 42:10 and 42:13 refers to the Lord or GOD, not to Muhammad:
10 Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise from the ends of the earth,
NIV Isaiah 42:10-13, Bible Gateway
you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, you islands, and all who live in them.
11 Let the wilderness and its towns raise their voices; let the settlements where Kedar lives rejoice. Let the people of Sela sing for joy; let them shout from the mountaintops.
12 Let them give glory to the Lord and proclaim his praise in the islands.
13 The Lord will march out like a champion, like a warrior he will stir up his zeal; with a shout he will raise the battle cry and will triumph over his enemies.
The writer lies and deceives about Islam and is a failure, a kafir. And let’s remember to let Muhammad declare himself what he was, a reminder, a failure at being a prophet:
So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder.
Koran 88:21
Thus from “Allah”, or rather Muhammad pretending to be Allah, Muhammad is shown to be not a prophet, but merely a reminder and thus, a false prophet, for a false god, Allah, for a false religion, Islam, without even a false book, Koran.
Islam has always been false, Muhammad’s cult about himself for himself, to enslave people as Muslims.
Koran Contradiction
