4:171: Say not "Trinity": desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is One Allah: glory be to him: (for Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs. <http://www.multimediaquran.com/quran/004/004-171.htm> 5:17 (or 5:19):- In blasphemy indeed are those that say God is Christ the son of Mary. Say: "Who then hath the least power against Allah if His Will were to destroy Christ the son of Mary his mother and all – everyone that is on the earth?" 5:72 (or 5:76):- Infidels now are they who say, 'Allah is the Messiah, Son of Mary.' … 6:101:- Sole maker of the Heavens and of the Earth! how, when He hath no wife, can he have a son? … 9:30:- And the Jews say: Uzair [Ezra] is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away! [[See footnote.]] 112:1-4:- SAY: He is Allah alone: Allah the eternal! He begetteth not, and He is not begotten; and there is none like unto Him. <http://www.multimediaquran.com/quran/112/112-001.htm> |

TRINITY
4:171: Say not "Trinity": desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is One Allah: glory be to him: (for Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs. 5:73 (or 5:77):- They surely are Infidels who say Allah is one of three. For there is no Allah except one Allah. If they desist not from so saying a painful doom will fall on those of them who disbelieve. <http://www.multimediaquran.com/quran/005/005-073.htm> 5:116:- And when Allah shall say– 'O Jesus, son of Mary: hast thou said unto mankind – "Take me and my mother as two Gods, beside God"?' He shall say – 'Glory be unto Thee! it is not for me to say that which I know to be not the truth; had I said that, verily thou wouldest have known it. … [[See footnote.]] 6:41:- Yes! To Him will ye cry: … and ye shall forget the partners ye joined with Him. 6:106:- … withdraw from those who join other gods with Him. 9:28:- O Believers! only they who join gods with God are unclean! So let them not come near the Inviolable Place of Worship after this their year. … 9:31:- They take their priests and their anchorites to be their lords beside Allah. And (they take as their Lord) Christ the son of Mary; yet they were commanded to worship but One God: there is no god but He. Praise and glory to Him: (far is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him). 72:2-3:- … we will not henceforth join any being with our Lord; And He … hath taken no spouse neither hath He any son. <http://www.multimediaquran.com/quran/072/072-002.htm> |

THE KORAN, one way –
2:62 (or 2:59):- Verily, they who believe (Muslims), and they who follow the Jewish religion, and the Christians and the Sabeites – whoever of these believeth in Allah and the last day, and doeth that which is right, shall have their reward with their Lord: fear shall not come upon them, neither shall they be grieved. 5:69 (or 5:73):- Lo! Those who believe, and those who are Jews, and Sabeans, and Christians – Whosoever believeth in Allah and the Last Day and doeth right – there shall be no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve. 29:46 (or 29:45):- Dispute not, unless in kindly sort, with the people of the Book … Our God and your God is One; and it is to Him we submit (in Islam). |

|
33:26-27:- And those of the People of the Book who aided them - Allah did take them down from their strongholds and cast terror into their hearts. (So that) some ye slew, and some ye made prisoners.

KORAN FOOTNOTES
2:193 (or 2:189):- … Fight the unbelievers until no other religion except Islam is left. [[OPPONENTS DEFINED: Let us examine how Islam defines "UNBELIEVER/S" and "DISBELIEVER/S," and also look at the words "INFIDEL/S," "POLYTHEISTS," "IDOLATORS," "PAGANS," "KUFAR," "KAFIR," AND "HYPOCRITES." Also check "THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK," and "THE PEOPLE TO WHOM THE SCRIPTURES HAVE BEEN GIVEN," "JEWS," and "CHRISTIANS." Many Muslim teachers say that "INFIDEL" means a person who does not believe in Allah. But the Koran 12:106 states: "The majority of those who believe in Allah do not do so without committing idol worship." So most Muslims can believe, or perhaps ought to believe, that more than half of their fellow-Muslims are, inwardly, idolators !!! The JEWS, among other insults in the Koran, are apes, despised and rejected (Koran 2:65 and 5:60), and like a donkey laden with books (62:5). They are included with People of the Book, some of whom have been transformed into apes and swine. The Judaists' land belongs to the Muslims (Koran 33:27, and see 59:2). Koran 9:29 gives an order to make war on those to whom the Scriptures have been given (which means JEWS and CHRISTIANS), to humble them and make them pay tribute (another definition might be servitude or dhimmitude.). The Jews and Christians receive the curse "May Allah destroy them!" (Koran 9:30). Christians who believe the Trinity dogma are included as Infidels by Koran 5:73 and 6:106, and those who believe Jesus was God by 5:72, Son of God by 6:101 and 72:2-3, or Lord by 9:31. Some of the PEOPLE OF THE BOOK have been transformed into apes and swine, says Koran 5:60. The Prophet is ordered, Koran 66:9 says, to make war on the Infidels (non-Muslims; re-read the above to note how wide the definition becomes) and the Hypocrites. HYPOCRITES are to be attacked and killed, says Koran 4:89, and the Muslims are urged to be unyielding to them (9:73). The Hypocrites, Koran 2:8 explains, are people who say they believe, but inwardly do not believe. Doesn't this mean, they are outwardly Muslims, but are judged by other Muslims as not truly Muslims ? Hypocrites are NOT to be obeyed (Koran 33:1 and 33:48). Because each Muslim has the ability to decide who is a Hypocrite and who is not, could this explain why Muslims in Muslim and non-Muslim lands find it hard to co-operate with governments, rulers and general society ? In short, why there is a rebellious attitude by some or many of them ? Just as in non-Islamic societies, the murder and/or overthrow of kings and other rulers has occurred right through Islamic lands, an early example being the defeat and killing of Ali (cousin, son-in-law, and successor of Muhammed as leader, i.e., caliph) in 661 C.E., i.e., A.D. Muslims must not befriend those who oppose Allah and his Apostle, even if they are their (own) fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their kinsfolk (Koran 58:22). (The Australian Family Association ought to read that scripture !) PAGANS: A Hadith tradition says that Umar sent the Muslims to the great countries to fight the pagans (Bukhari's Hadith 4, 53:386). Another tradition in Sahih Bukhari's, 5, 59:600 says, "There is no migration, but Jihad (for Allah's Cause)." No wonder the early history of Islam includes a story that a non-Muslim leader begged his fellow-citizens not to make an alliance with the Muslims, because it would mean agreeing to fight the whole world ! Also read Koran doctrine 71:26-27 (or 71:27-28), and return to Koran 2:193 (or 2:189).]] 3:35-36 (or 3:31-32):- Remember when the wife of Imran said, … I have brought forth a female … and I have named her Mary. … Zacharias reared her. [[Imran is Amran, who in Hebrew scripture (the Old Testament), Numbers 26:59 and Exodus 6:20, is named as the father of Aaron, Moses, and Miriam. They lived an estimated 1500 years before Mary and Jesus! See also note on 19:27-34. Zacharias (Zachary, Zechariah) is named as Mary's father, not just someone who reared her, in the Christian Greek Scriptures, i.e., the New Testament, Luke 1:5.]] 3:46 (or 3:41):- And He shall speak to men alike when in the cradle and when grown up; … [[See footnote for 5:110.]] 4:12 continued (or 4:14):- … And your wives shall have a fourth part of what ye leave, … an eighth part … [[Is this fair and just ? Remembering that there can be up to four wives plus ex-wives, and re-reading the earlier part of 4:12, ask yourself is this fair. Then re-read 2:240 which seems to say that a dead man's estate shall give the wives a year's maintenance without causing them to quit their homes. At the end of that year, who takes over their homes ? If you guess a male relation of the husband, you might be close to being right ! Re-read the previous verse, Koran 4:11, for a dead man's daughters getting only half shares, then check how much of Muhammed's land after his death (no son survived) was received by his daughter Fatima, according to a tradition, at: Bukhari's 8, 80:718.]] 4:15 (or 4:14, or 4:19):- If any of your women be guilty of whoredom, … shut them up in their houses till death release them, or Allah make some way for them. [["Adultery, fornication": Well, this aya (verse) orders the sex-offending women to be shut up until death, while 24:2 orders men and women a hundred stripes, and yet again 24:3 limits their marriage partners. Contradictions ? Re-read 4:82 saying that the Koran has many contradictions. AND, those who read the Hadith traditions find that Bukhari's Hadith tradition 8, 82:815 reports that Mhd ordered the son of Unias to be whipped and exiled, and the woman to be stoned to death. A more even punishment is reported in Malik's Muwatta 41:41.1.1, Mhd ordering a Jewish pair to be both stoned to death, following Hebrew scripture. Sunan Abu-Dawud's 38:4405 reports that Mhd ordered a man who had illegal sexual intercourse with a slave-girl to be stoned to death. In spite of these contradictions, Shariah Law, supposedly the Muslim scholars' rules based on the Koran and the life of Mhd, seems to demand stoning to death, and in modern times female rape victims are being stoned to death for what the Islamic courts say is "fornication or adultery." So, the Koran 24:3 limiting the marriage partners of the adulterers and the idolaters is really a dead letter. Islamic dogma is that they must be killed.]] 4:43 (or 4:46) … Approach not prayers … until after washing your whole body. If … ye have been in contact with women, and ye find no water, then take for yourselves clean sand or earth, and rub therewith your faces and hands. … [["Unclean, purify." Unclean to be in contact with women, as if one had been attending to body wastes, in this aya (verse), and unclean before prayers to touch women, according to Koran 5:6 ! Try to guess from what culture such ideas were transmitted. Also remember, there are supposed to be five prayers every day.]] 5:32 (or 5:35): If any one slew a person …. [[Note that this aya, supposedly forbidding murder, is of a command supposedly addressed to the children of Israel, in the past, not to the Muslims of Mahomet's time or later. This is a favourite quotation of Muslim apologists and their dupes, trying to make out that Islam, the religion of giving in (submission) through compulsion (holy war) or otherwise, is a religion of peace. But quietly read the "compulsion" aya at 3:83 (or 3:77), the terror and beheading aya 8:12, and several others.]] 5:33 (or 5:37):- The punishment … murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides … [["Hands and feet:" President George W. Bush was ignorant of this, or spoke as if he were ignorant. After the United States, Britain, and Australia took over Iraq, some time later a U.S. agent banned a militant Iraqi Islamic cleric's newspaper, this was followed by an upswelling of resistance to the liberation / occupation forces. An early outrage was the mutiliation of bodies of about two United States troops. Bush was so "politically correct" that he said that Islam banned body mutilation, and he said this was not an Islamic act. This shows the ignorance and foolishness of Bush II and his advisers, because even if they did not know of this scripture 5:33, or of 8:12 ordering the striking off of heads and fingertips, they ought to have known that beheading was common in Islamic jurisprudence (see also 47:4), and have heard of the hands of thieves being struck off in obedience to Koran 5:38. (Incidentally, "Exiled from the land" is "imprisoned" in another translation.)]] 5:38 (or 5:42):- And (as for) the man who steals and the woman who steals, cut off their hands [[Ask yourself, how can a thief turn over a new leaf and earn an honest living in Muslim-type economies with one (or after a second offence, both) of his/her hands removed? Beside the difficulty of doing many jobs, nearly every person who met him/her would mistrust him/her.]] 5:110 (or 5:109-110:- When He shall say: O Jesus! Son of Mary! call to mind my favour upon thee and upon thy mother, and when I strengthened thee with the Holy Spirit that thou shouldest speak to men alike in the cradle and when grown up; – {110} And when I taught thee the Scripture, and Wisdom, and the Evangel: and thou didst create of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by my leave, and didst breathe into it, and by my leave it became a bird; … [[Re the baby Jesus supposedly speaking in the cradle (3:41, 5:110, and 19:27-34), compare with early Christian era apocryphal (that is, rejected) book 1 Infancy 1:2-3. Re the child Jesus and the clay bird being given life, compare with similar apocryphal book 2 Infancy 1:4-9 (Thomas's Gospel).]] 5:116:- And when Allah shall say– 'O Jesus, son of Mary: hast thou said unto mankind – "Take me and my mother as two Gods, beside God"?' He shall say – … [[This unusual statement about the supposed gods Mary and Jesus seems to have roots in a reported Egyptian Christian variant teaching around 325 C.E.. The overwhelming majority of Christian sects teach that God is one, but the one God comprises a trinity of three persons – the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. Nearly all Christians do NOT teach that Mary is God, part of God, or a god. However, according to a book called Nimrod, a Melchite section of Christians from Egypt, in A.D. 325 at the Nicene Council of Christians, argued that the three persons in the Trinity were "the Father, the Virgin Mary, and (the) Messiah their Son." (This is as quoted by Rev. Alexander Hislop, 1858, in The Two Babylons, A & B Publishers Group, Brooklyn, ISBN 1-881316-36-x, p 82 and varied at p 89.) The Council rejected that teaching. So, possibly news of the different though rejected teaching that Mary as well as Jesus were part of the Godhead had evidently reached some ears or eyes in Arabia while the Koran was being devised, and seems to have been transmuted into Mohammedans teaching that Christians were honouring both Mary and Jesus as gods.]] 9:30:- And the Jews say: Uzair [Ezra] is the son of Allah … [[In the light of the amazing claim in Hislop's book that some Christians around A.D. 325 taught that Mary was part of the Trinity, the Webmaster would, after finding that out, not be surprised at anything ! He would appreciate it if any document or custom of the Judaists or Israelites in any age could be produced to support this statement. It had been the Webmaster's belief that Yehovah / Yahweh / Jehovah of Israel and Judah was not described as the begetter of any particular person, or of Israel-Judah, although he was figuratively "father" to them and to his followers in general as a theological metaphor (Ho 11:1; Ex 4:22; Dt 1:31, 8:5; Is 43:6; Ps 103:13; Je 3:19; 31:0, 20; Ho 2:1).]] 17:1:- Sūrat Bani Isrāīl, or Al-Isrā, also called "The Children of Israel," or "The Night Journey": [[Sūrat 17 opens with the night journey of the Holy Prophet: It is understood to mean that he was transported from the Sacred Mosque of Mecca (Makkah), Arabia, to the Farthest Mosque of Jerusalem, Palestine, in a night, and was also shown some of the Signs of Allah. (Adapted from discussion in Arabian Koran, p 772, which also states that the Hadith literature gives details of this journey.)]] 18:50:- "… We said to the angels … they prostrated except Iblīs. He was one of the Jinns. [[In 38:71-74 Iblis / Eblis is said to be an angel. Yet in 18:50 the writer has him down as both an angel and a jinn / djinn, which has all the earmarks of a contradiction. The angels, the Koran says, were messengers, made with two, three or four pairs of wings (Koran 35:1). However, the Hadith tradition includes that "Muhammad had seen Gabriel with six hundred wings." (Bukhari's Hadith 6, 60:380, and see 379.) Seeing that, according to most Mohammedans, all worship ought to go to Allah and to Him alone, is it logical for Allah to tell the angels and/or jinns to prostrate to Adam ? According to the Koran, besides being messengers, angels' other duties included to tear out the souls of the wicked (79:1), protect humans (82:10) and record their actions (82:11). The angel Gabriel supposedly dictated the Koran to Muhammed. BUT, what was Allah's aim in having the angels prostrating to Adam, pray ? Is it right that intelligent beings, whether visible or invisble, should bow down to the first human ? It's all very strange. Jinns, the Koran says, were made from "the fire of a scorching wind" (15:26-27) or from "fire free of smoke" (5:15). According to a tradition in the Hadith, bones and animal dung are the food of jinns (Bukhari's Volume 5, Book 58, Number 200). Later, man was made from "clay" (6:2; 15:26; 38:71; 55:14), or "water" (25:54), or "a quintessence" (23:12). These statements seem to be contradictory. The main point of this note is that it is unlikely that Iblis (or Eblis) was, at the same time, both an angel and a jinn.]] 19:27-34 or 19:28-35:- Then came she with the babe … They said, 'O Mary! … O sister of Aaron! … And she made a sign to them, pointing towards the babe. They said, 'How shall we speak with him who is in the cradle, an infant?' It said, 'Verily, I am the servant of Allah; He hath given me the Book, and He hath made me a prophet; …' [[Regarding Mary being supposedly the sister of Aaron (who supposedly lived approximately 1500 years earlier, and was the brother of Moses), the confusion could be because of the Arabs' lack of literacy in any language including Arabic until shortly before Mohammed's time, and thus many of the non-Judaist and non-Christian dwellers in Arabia had little or no understanding of the huge time-spans of history. The names Miriam (Moses's sister) and Mary (mother of Jesus) are the same in Arabic (Maryam). Regarding the baby Jesus supposedly speaking in the cradle, see note on 5:110.]] 22:19 (or 22:20):- … But as for those who disbelieve, garments of fire will be cut out for them; … [[This would seem to give scriptural approval to bombing people, such as the attacks on United States soldiers on overseas peace missions a few years ago, the 9/11 attacks on the two New York towers, the Pentagon (and the White House a target ?), the London underground rail and the bus, the Madrid bombings, and the two Bali bombings. There is a rash of suicide and other bombings going on around the Muslim world, killing innocent people. The dupes of the extremists might believe that the supposed disbelievers belong to a different Muslim sect ("hypocrites" is a term used to describe them, whether Sunni, Shiite, Hazari, Dervish, or any of the other sects), or are People of the Book or people to whom the Scriptures have been given, defined as Jews and Christians, idol-worshippers such as Hindus, or disbelievers such as the Buddhists, atheists, and others.]] 24:31: And speak to the believing women … that they throw their veils over their bosoms, … [[Re veils. Read also Koran 33:55 and 33:59, and see Hadith tradition, Sahih Bukhari's Volume 6, Book 60, Number 10. In the U.S.C. internet republishing of an English translation of the Hadith tradition Bukhari 8, 74:257 the words, in brackets "(Al-Hijab; a complete body cover excluding the eyes)" seem to be a man-made addition to the old text. The suppression of women lives on !]] 24:33 (or 24:34):- … You shall not force your slave-girls into prostitution … forgiving and merciful to them. [[Guilt-shifting: Notice how the guilt has shifted to the slave-girls, victims of greedy owners and lustful men (presumably), but Allah will forgive the females ! The slave-owner does not get blamed in this aya (verse), nor seem to need forgiveness and mercy. Is it any wonder that rape victims are still being stoned to death in 2011, when such perverted illogical logic is at the root of the culture ? Slavery itself seems quite acceptable in the Koran scripture and the Hadith traditions (just as it is in the Greek Christian scriptures, and the Hebrew-Aramaic scriptures). But the apologists will be able to quote the start of aya 33, which tells slave-owners to be willing to allow slaves to buy their way out of slavery ! The Saudi Arabian version of the Yusuf Ali translation struggles in footnotes to overcome the lack of a Koran condemnation of slavery by such words as "obsolete" (footnote 2991), "where slavery was legal" and "absolutely condemned" (fn 2992), and "despicable trade" (fn 2992). But the footnote writers still think the "poor unfortunate girls" need to "find mercy from Allah." (fn 2994). Refer to pages 1014-15. (This is guilt-shifting at the same level as the European pre-history ancients and the Amerindians who sacrificed human victims to win favour from the gods, and the Mediaeval and later Christians with their heresy hunts and witch trials, usually ending in burnings.) Research the Hadith / Hadeeth traditions, where slaves make regular appearances, starting with <hadith.htm#slaves> and Bukhari's collection, Volume 8, Book 80, Number 741. Slavery in 2011 is still practised in Saudi Arabia, Sudan, etc.]] 27:37: [[This was supposed to be King Solomon speaking about Saba, or Sheba, before its queen visited him. Send any evidence of such remarks to the Webmaster, please.]] 40:36 (or 40:38):- [[Haman, the favourite of Persian king Ahasuerus (485-465 B.C.) and the enemy of the Judaists, in this āya becomes a high official of Pharaoh, ruler of Egypt around 1280 B.C. See Haman similarly "out of his time" at 28:5 (or 28:8), 29:38 (or 29:39), and 40:25 (or 40:24).]] 41:34-35:- Nor can Goodness and Evil be equal. Repel (Evil) with what is better: … [[ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: Below is the extract of the two verses that Alston, cartoonist, inserted in his cartoon after the reported surprise and death of Osama Bin Laden, in The West Australian, page 20, Tuesday, May 3, 2011: REPEL EVIL WITH WHAT IS BETTER. THEN WILL HE, BETWEEN WHOM AND THEE WAS HATRED, BECOME AS IT WERE THY FRIEND AND INTIMATE. AND NO ONE WILL BE GRANTED SUCH GOODNESS EXCEPT THOSE WHO EXERCISE PATIENCE AND SELF-RESTRAINT. CHAPTER 41. VERSE 34 & 35 … OSAMA BIN LADEN, KILLED 1 MAY 2011.]] 64:14:- O ye who believe! Verily, in your wives and your children ye have an enemy: wherefore beware of them. … [["Honour killings:" This seemingly gives backing to the practice of the so-called "honour" killings of wives and daughters that occur in Muslim families, both in Muslim and non-Muslim lands. If one's own family members are an "enemy," some Muslims might believe they ought not to slacken in following them as 4:104 orders, to strike terror into them as Koran 8:60 orders, and not to take them as friends (Koran 60:1). A woman who is suspected of refractoriness may be scourged, says Koran 4:34. A man's children and worldly goods are but a temptation, according to the Koran 8:28. Daughters inherit half of what sons get, says Koran 4:11. But Muhammad's daughter Fatima did not get ownership of her father's land from the men who took over after her father's death, according to the Hadith tradition Bukhari's 8, 80:718. For another example of the Koran scripture teachings regarding family relations, read the curse on Mohammed's own uncle Abu Lahab and aunt at 111:1-5, and the relevant footnotes. Perhaps the Australian Family Association ought to take note !]] 65:4 [[Child marriage]]:- If you are in doubt concerning those of your wives who have ceased menstruating, know that their waiting period shall be three months. The same shall apply to those who have not yet menstruated. [[To back what seems in this verse to be marriage of an immature girl, called "child marriage" in Western societies in modiern times, having sex with a 9-year-old girl, ‘Aisha, is reported in the Bukhari Hadith tradition at Bukhari's 5, 58:236.]] 66:2:- Allah hath allowed you release from your oaths.… [[It would seem that the deceit teaching of taqiyya is supported by this Koran scripture, and by tradition in Bukhari's Hadith 7, 67:427 <http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/hadith/bukhari/067.sbt.html#007.067.427>. 71:26-27 (or 71:27-28):- And Noah said, 'Lord, leave not one single family of Infidels on the Earth … [[Is there any other document that attributes such an attitude to Noah? Then ask yourself – hadn't all the wicked people been drowned in the flood and gone into the Fire (see āya 25)? So from what Infidel families came the Infidels, either when he spoke, or in the future, to do all the harm described?]] 98:4:- Neither were they to whom the Scriptures were given divided into sects, till after this clear evidence had reached them. [[(The word "this" seems to be an addition.) Long before Mohammed was born, Judaism/Israel had divided into sects, including Samaritans (a kind of continuation of the old "Israel", that is, the northern kingdom), Sadducees, Pharisees, Essenes, and Karaites. In modern times there are also major and minor sects, and a tiny number of Samaritans continue their tradition. Most modern Judaists follow the Babylonian Talmud's teachings though there is a Jerusalem Talmud as well from ancient times. In modern times Jews have many different standards of practices, from extremists and tiny sects right through standard conformists to very relaxed and then through to non-practising yet loyal, on to people who wish they weren't. Of course, the whole verse contradicts the other Muslim teaching that people like Abraham and Jesus were following Allah's teaching, which Muslims would say was the same "clear evidence" that Mahomet was then providing.]] 111:1-5:- Let the hands of ABU LAHAB perish, and let himself perish!… [[It was his own flesh and blood, his uncle, who rejected the new faith, and a curse was also put on his aunt. In the light of this and other Islamic curses, it seems hypocritical to head all but one of the Koran's surahs with "In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful," as some translations word it. Study this hatred alongside the Koran scripture 64:14 that the wives and children are an enemy, to beware.]] |
