not in someones interpretation of the book
and heres a life-changing example
why relying on others is dangerous
for finding truth...
.
.
when you read the quran
you read the word of allah
the words that angel gabriel
conveyed to prophet mohammed
who spent days of darkness in the cave of hira
when he was 40 years old
and i will tell you in a second why that age is important to me
so mohammed retreated in this mountain cave near mecca
(the cave of hira)
during ramadan
to ponder on the evil deeds of his community
suddenly gabriel appears before him
and says "read!"
but heres the catch
.
.
mainstream muslims believe mohammed could not read or write
and that it was a miracle he could be the bearer of allahs message
but i found arguments that show the opposite [1]
and i will explain it to you now because
in verse 7:157 it says [2]
===
ุงูููุฐูููู ููุชููุจูุนูููู ุงูุฑููุณูููู ุงููููุจูููู ุงููุฃูู ููููู
Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet
===
the key word is
unlettered โ ุงููุฃูู ููููู โ al-ummiyya
linguistically it comes from "umm" (mother)
like in umm kulthum
egyptโs national treasure and legendary singer
so when youre unlettered
it can mean
"as your mother bore you"
and when youre born
how good can you read and write
exactly
.
.
but theres also the meaning of "gentile"
who is someone that is not a jew
or someone who is not familiar with hebrew scripture
which doesnt make you an illiterate of course
.
.
just like not knowing doesnt mean youre stupid
it only means youre ignorant
from latin ignorare โ not to know
* in- โ un, non, not * gnarus โ knowing, acquainted, skillful
.
.
so allah doesnt tell us
mohamed couldnt read or write
he only says
mohamed was not previously given the scripture
and thats a crucial lesson because...
mainstream muslims follow the gospel of someone elses word [3]
someone elses interpretation of what this or that means
heck they may not even know that
the names of each surah and verse numbers were man-made
and only the words of the surah themselves were 100% divine
and all of that by people who claim
to have read the message from above
whose very first word is to
"read!"
but what they actually do is follow hadiths
of someone elses brain
.
.
in other words
mainstream muslims follow
sayings of prophet mohammed (pbuh)
and take them at face value
while they should know that
the quran is not a dogma
because there is no compulsion in religion
(verse 2:256)
and they should know that
at its core
the meaning of quran
comes from iqra - ุงูุฑุฃ
which was a command to the prophet to read
and then proclaim it to the people of Mecca (who were pagans)
by reciting it out loud
read
proclaim
recite aloud
but only if you have the mohammed balls to do it
oh, one last thing before you go...
mainstream muslims are like m&ms
they taste sweet in the beginning
but lose originality and substance
the more you consume them
ยกรndale, arriba!
