Some fascinating insights into
the
convoluted codification of the final
Qur'an
by a reputable early Arab historian
For the background see John Gilchrist's devastating and masterful
little work:
In Arabic: Jam'
Al-Qur'an
A
list of
differences
between contemporary copies of the Qur'an and the version of
Abdullah Ibn
Mas'ud,
whom
Mohammed
described as the best of reciters.
In English: Jam'
Al-Qur'an
Mohammed's own act
of major
shirk, according to the criteria of Muhammad
bin Abdul-Wahhab
(according to the
criteria of chapter 14, conclusion 3, and chapter 17 of his thesis on
the Tauhid)
"Have you thought upon al-Lat and
al-Uzza and Manat, the third, the other?
Satan cast the words on his tongue,
"These are the high flying cranes; verily their intercession is
accepted with approval."
Narrated consistently by four
reputable Muslim historians - Al Waqidi, Ibn Ishaq, Mohammed
Ibn
Sa'd*
and Imam Tabari*
- deceitfully airbrushed away by modern Muslims -
perhaps the cause of the peculiarly Islamic view that polytheism is
always unforgiveable was an attempted compensation for sinful and
foolish compromise with idolatry.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ
بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَمَن يُشْرِكْ
بِاللَّهِ فَقَدِ افْتَرَىٰ إِثْمًا عَظِيمًا
Allah forgiveth not that partners should be set up with
Him; but He forgiveth anything else, to whom He pleaseth;
to set up partners with Allah is to devise a sin most heinous indeed.
(4.48)
How can a truly inspired revelation so irrevocably condemn its own
messenger?
How can a
true prophet of the God of Truth formally
and publically declare so damnable a lie
as Truth?
Where is there any example of such a hideous 'mistake' in all the
Torah,
Zabur or Injil?
On
the contrary, even the inspired but unregenerate prophet Balaam was
compelled to speak only the truth of God,
despite the strongest temptation to compromise. (Nu
22:18,38, 23:12)
'God
is not a man, that he should lie;
neither the son of man, that he should repent:
hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he
not make it good?'
(Num 23.19)
But
the Word of God was made flesh...and this sinful 'prophet' denies it.
His judgement will not linger.
