Rhetorical Question

Muhammad repeatedly asks a rhetorical question of the listener or later, in the reading of Muhammad’s recitation, Muhammad’s Koran. Let’s find out more about what a rhetorical question is:

So why is a rhetorical question good for a human orator to use, but bad for Allah to use? One reason is this:

When young children are asked rhetorical questions (such as, “Are you finished whining?”), they often respond in a literal way because they don’t perceive that the rhetorical questions are actually directives.

An Introduction to Rhetorical Questions

So a rhetorical question in the Koran will have different results depending upon the age of the reader and for those who don’t perceive the rhetorical question correctly. This is obviously incoherent for a message, a recitation, a Koran, from one god to have different messages in it, due to rhetorical questions, due to the mental status of the hearer or reader.

Next big problem is that Muhammad asks rhetorical questions based not on omniscience of Allah, but upon his own limited understanding, exposing the fact that it’s he, his friends and scholars that are composing the Koran’s message, to deceive others. Let’s show an example:

[He is] Originator of the heavens and the earth. How could He have a son when He does not have a companion and He created all things?

Koran 6:101

This is Muhammad expressing his disbelief that Allah could have a son. If Allah was real and omnipotent, then this is no trouble at all with omnipotence, and Allah can be the same as the Christian god. Failing that, Allah is NOT YHWH/GOD. We know from Muhammad’s own earlier writing in Koran, that according to Muhammad:

And We gave Jesus, the Son of Mary, clear proofs, and We supported him with the Pure Spirit.

Koran 2:252

And again, in one of Muhammad’s repetition:

The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him.

Koran 4:171

Thus according to Muhammad, Jesus, the son of Mary, is also the son of God. Thus we know that Muhammad’s rhetorical question in Koran 6:101 is incoherent with Muhammad’s own words in Koran 2:252 and Koran 4:171. Or more better, that Muhammad’s Allah is NOT the same as God, and Muhammad is copying badly from Christian writings. Either way, this shows that Muhammad’s rhetorical question describes his own incoherence and lack of belief in the omnipotence of God.

Here’s another example of a rhetorical question from Muhammad:

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 darkness, never to emerge therefrom?

Koran 6:122

Note the incoherence in the rhetorical question with Muhammad committing shirk, placing Allah beside himself. Also note the lies in the rhetorical question. Muhammad can’t raise the dead: “We gave him life”. Muhammad also didn’t make light either. Worse, this question has to accommodate the blind hearer of this recitation. What does the blind from birth know of “light” and “darkness”? For more about this, see Koran 6:122.

Here’s a question, based on Muhammad’s ignorance:

Is it the two males He has forbidden or the two females or that which the wombs of the two females contain? Inform me with knowledge, if you should be truthful.

Koran 6:143

In this example, Muhammad is ignorant of herding practises and demands an answer. No one can provide an answer because the Quraysh were wiped out and Muhammad died long ago. For more about the herding practises that Muhammad was ignorant of, see: Koran 6:143-144.

Another example, Muhammad puts in a rhetorical question from merely human mortals, contradicting the Islamic doctrine that Koran comes from Allah.

157 Or lest you say, “If only the Scripture had been revealed to us, we would have been better guided than they.”

Koran 6:157

Note the text has no question mark.

Another example, from the same passage:

Then who is more unjust than one who denies the verses of Allah and turns away from them?

Koran 6:156-157

So what about the “one” who doesn’t have the verses of Allah at all, because they know that the Koran doesn’t come from Allah?

So in short, Muhammad likes rhetorical questions and even puts them in the mouths of imaginary people, where they have no place, reveals his own ignorance, showing Muhammad lied, was ignorant and not informed by an omniscient, real god.
