Paras 36 – 109       

36. Come Embrace Islam - But God loveth not disorder. O believers! Enter completely into the true religion. (II. 202, 204.)
C. - Had not God loved disorder, why would he have prompted them (the Muslims) to fight and befriended the quarrelsome Mohammedans? Is God pleased with one only when he embraces the Mohammedan religion? If so, He partial to the Mohammedans, He cannot, therefore, be the Lord of the Universe. This clearly shows that neither the Qoran is the Word of God, nor is the God described therein the true God.

38. Your wives are your field -  They will also question thee as to the courses of women, say: they are a pollution, separate yourself, therefore from women, and approach them not, until they be cleansed. But when they are cleansed, go in unto them as God hath ordained for you. Your wives are your field, go in, therefor, to your field, as ye will. God will not punish you for taking your oaths falsely. (II. 222, 209, 224.)
C. - Prohibition of sexual intercourse during menstruation is commendable, but likening women to a field and giving permission to approach them whenever (the faithful) desired will make (them) lascivious. If God does not punish one for swearing falsely, all men would become liars. God will thus stand guilty of encouraging untruthfulness in speech.

39. Who is he that will lend to God a goodly loan? He will double it to him again and again. (II.246).
C. – Now why should God take a loan? Does He, who has created the whole universe,  stand in need of taking a loan from men? No, never. Only an ignorant man can say such things of God. Was his treasury exhausted or had He become bankrupt by engaging in trade and banking? Did he act like a businessman when He promised to pay double of what was lent to him? Such things are done only by one, who is a bankrupt, or by one whose expenses exceed his income, but not by God.

42. Sun-rise/set - “Since God bringeth the sun from the East, do thou, then, bring it from the West.” The infidel was confounded: for, God guideth not the evildoers. (II. 260.)
C. - O what ignorance! The sun does not rise in the East and set in the West, nor does it rise in the West and set in the East. It moves on its own axis. Now it is positively certain that the author of the Qoran knew neither Astronomy nor Geography. If (the Mohammedan) God does not guide the evildoers, He is not needed at all for the righteous always walk in the path of rectitude. It is only those who have gone astray that need guidance. It is a great mistake on the part of the God of the Qoran that he has neglected His duty.

47. The true religion with God is Islam (II. 17.)
C. - Is God the Lord of the Mohammedans alone? Did not Divine religion exist at all thirteen hundred years back? It shows that the Qoran is not the word of God, but of some bigot.

49. “O Mary! Verily hath God chosen thee and purified the and chosen thee above the women of the world!” (III. 33).
C. - Now how can we believe that God and His angles came down to talk with men in ancient times when they do not do so now-a-days? If it be argued that then the people were very virtuous, it cannot be true. The fact of the matter is that at that time the majority of the people were uncivilized and ignorant, hence it was that such religions as the Christian and the Mohammedan, which are so opposed to the dictates of knowledge, took root and flourished. But now the people are enlightened, these hollow faiths cannot flourish; on the other hand, they are on the decline.

51. Encourage Conversion - Is it not enough for you that Lord aideth you with three thousand angles sent down from on high? (II. 120.)
C. - If God really aided the Mohammedans with three thousand angles in the past, why does He not help them now that their rule (in India and other countries) has greatly declined and is still declining? The real object of this verse is to tempt the ignorant and thereby ensnare them into the Mohammedan religion.

52. Partial to Muslims - And help us against the unbelieving people. But God is your real Lord, and He is the best of helpers. And if ye shall be slain or die on the path of God. (II. 141, 142, 151.)
C. - Now reader mark the error of the Mohammedans! They pray for the destruction of those who differ from them in religious opinions. Is God such a simpleton that he will grant their prayer? If God is the best helper of the Mohammedans only, why should they fail in their undertakings? Besides, He seems to be passionately fond of them. If He is so partial (to the Mohammedans). He is not worthy of being worshipped by the righteous.

62. God all-pervading or localized -O Men! Now hath an apostle come to you with truth from your Lord? Believe them. (IV. 168.) God is a sufficient guardian. (IV. 162.)
C. - Now does not the Prophet share with God homage due to Him when men have been directed by the Qoran to have faith in the Prophets. It is only because God is localized and not all- pervading that apostles come down from him. Such a being can never be God. In one place it is written (in the Qoran) that God is All-pervading, while in another it is said that he is localized. This goes to show that the Qoran is the work of more than one person.

67. Forgiveness of Sin- God forgiveth what is past; but whoever doth it again, God will take vengeance on him. (V. 96.)
C. - The forgiveness of sin is almost as bad as the sanction of its commission, which encourages its further growth. A book whose teachings tend to encourage the commission of sin can neither be the Word of God, nor the work of an enlightened author. It is on the contrary, one that promotes sinful conduct. It is true thought that the prevention of the further commission of sin can be secured by one’s praying to God, repenting of his past conduct and by exerting himself to his utmost (to lead a virtuous life.)

70. Your Lord is God, who in six days created the Heaven and the Earth, and then mounted the throne. Call upon your God with lowliness and in secret. (VII. 52, 53.)
C. - Can He, who creates the world in six days and rests on His throne in heaven, ever be an Omnipotent, and Omnipresent God? Being destitute of such attributes (as Omnipresence) He cannot even be called God? Is your God deaf that He can hear you only when He is spoken to (aloud)? All these things cannot be from God. Hence the Qoran cannot be the Word of God. He must have indeed got fatigued when He had to rest on the seventh day after having created the world in six days. We wonder if He is still asleep or has awakened. If He is awake, is He there doing some thing or just strolling about and enjoying Himself,

76. They will question thee about THE SPOILS, say : The spoils are God’s and the apostle’s. therefore, fear God. (VIII. 1.)
C. - It is very strange that those who plunder others and live be dacoity and teach others to do the same should still profess to be God, prophet and the faithful. These people with one breath plunder others and with the other talk of fearing God, and yet do not feel the least shame in declaring that their religious faith is the best. Can there be a man worse than one who through sheer obstinacy does not embrace the true Vedic religion?

77. Cutoff Heads of Infidels - Cut off the uppermost part of the infidels. “I will verily aid you with a thousand angels, rank on rank.” “I will cast a dread into the hearts of the infidels.” Strike off their heads then, and strike off from them every fingertip. (VIII. 7, 9, 12.)
C. - How destitute of compassion are God and his Prophet who order that the heads of the infidels should be cut off. Is such a God, as commands the faithful to put the infidels to sword, and sever their limbs (from their bodies) and aids them in this work, any better then Ravan, the cruel king of Ceylon? This command is the invention of the author of the Qoran and is not from God, but if it be from Him, our earnest prayer is that such a God may remain at a respectable distance from us.

79. Sanctions robbery - Therefore fight against them until there be no opposition in favor of idolatry and the religion be wholly God’s. And know that whenever ye gain any spoils, a fifth part therefore belongeth unto God, and to the apostle. (VII. 40, 42.)’
C. - Who but the Mohammedan God would be so unjust in fighting and helping others to do the same so active in causing breaches of peace? Now look at this religion, which sanctions wholesale robbery for the benefit of the Prophet! Are these people any better than thugs? God participates in the crime of robbery when He takes His share of the loot. He brings disgrace on Himself by favoring such dacoits. We are at a loss to understand whence came such a book, such a God and such a Prophet in order to disturb the happy relations between different nations of the world and thereby inflict great suffering on them. Had not such faiths flourished in the world, all would have lived in peace with each other.

82. God All-pervading - They shall continue therein for ever: for God is a great reward. O true believers take not your fathers or your brethren for friends, if they love infidelity above faith. Afterwards God sent down his security upon his apostle and upon the faithful, and sent down troops of angles, which ye saw not; and he punished them who disbelieved; and this was the reward of the unbelievers. Nevertheless God will hereafter be turned unto whom He pleaseth. Fight against them who believe not in God. (VIII. 10, 12, 24, 25, 27.)
C. - Now haw can God be All-pervading if He lives near those who are in paradise? But if He is not All pervading. He can neither be the Creator nor the Judge of the world. it is wrong to advise men of forsake their parents. Of course, one should not obey them if they advise one to do wrong, but all the same one should always serve them. If God was kind to the Mohammedans and sent down troops of angles to help them in the past, why does He not do so on? If He punished the unbelievers and “turned unto whom He pleased,” why does He not do the same at the present time? Could not God advance His faith without commanding His votaries to fight? We say good-bye to such a God! He is more of a showman than a God.

83. We await for you the infliction of a chastisement by God, from Himself, or at our hands. (VIII. 53.)
C. - Do the Mohammedans constitute God’s police that He seizes non-Muslims either with His own hands or has been seized by the hands of the Mohammedans? Are millions of other people displeasing unto God, and are Mohammedans, though they might be sinners, pleasing unto Him? If such is the case, the Mohammedan God resembles a veritable tyrant. It is strange that even sensible Mohammedans should believe in a religion, which has no foundation to rest upon, and is opposed to reason.

87. Wage war against neighbors - Believers! Wage war against such of the infidels, as are your neighbors, and let them find you rigorous. Do they not see that they are afflicted with suffering every year once or twice? Yet they turn not, neither are they warned. (IX. 124, 127.)
C. - Mark this teaching, which in defiance of all noble instinct advocates the destruction of one’s very friends! God here teaches the Mohammedans to fight with their neighbors and slaves, to wage war against them and to slaughter them whenever they get a chance to. The Mohammedans have materially helped in spreading such ideas, taking their inspiration from this very book the Qoran. They should in the present enlightened age, realize the evil nature of such a teaching and give it up. They would be gainers by doing so.

93. When Joseph said to his father, “O my father! Verily I beheld eleven stars and the sun and the moon.” (XII. 4.)
C. - This verse contains a dialogue between a father and his son, which shows that the Qoran is not from God but is the production of some man who has embodied in it the biographies of human beings.

96. Thus then, as a code in the Arabic tongue, have we sent down the Qoran; and truly, if after the knowledge that hath reached thee thou follow their desires, thou shalt have no guardian nor protector against God. (XIII. 38.)
C. - How did God send down the Qoran? Does God live high up in the skies? If this be true He cannot be God, being confined to a particular locality, for God is All-pervading. To carry or deliver messages is the function of a courier, and since God is confined to a particular locality, He must needs have one. And to keep an account (in dealings with others) becomes a man but no God Who is Omniscient. It follows from such statements of the Qoran that it is the work of a human being, possessed of limited intelligence.

101. Being repaid per your deeds - These are they whose hearts and ears and eyes God hath sealed up; these the careless ones. And every soul shall be repaid according to its deeds, and they shall not be wronged. (XVI. 110, 112.)
C. - When God Himself hath sealed up their hearts, etc., the unfortunate ones are condemned to destruction without any fault on their part. They are denied the privilege of being free agents. How unjust it is! And yet we are told by the Qoran that everyone shall be repaid according to his deeds, and shall have neither more are less than what he is entitled to.

When the sinners were not free agents in committing sin, but did it yielding to a stern necessity, having been compelled to do so by God, why are they to blame? They should not suffer for their deeds; on the contrary it is God who ought to suffer punishment. And if everyone is repaid according to the full measure of his deeds, wherein does God’s forgiveness consist? And if God does forgive sins, He destroys justice. God never acts in this reckless fashion; only an erring mortal can act like this.

102. And we have appointed hell the portion of infidels. And every man’s fate have we fastened about his neck. And on the day of resurrection will we bring forth to him abook which shall be proffered to him wide open. And since Noah, how many nations have we exterminated. (XVII. 8, 14, 18.)
C. - If those who do not believe in the Qoran, the Prophet and the god of whom the Qoran speaks, and have no faith in the seven heavens or in the Muslim prayer, etc., infidels, and if it is they who are destined for hell, we can then say without the least hesitation that all this is nothing but sheer partiality. Is it possible that those who believe in the Qoran are all good, while all others are wicked? It is childish to assert that everyone has his fate fastened about his neck. As a matter of fact we don’t fastened round the neck of a single person.  If by this is meant that men shall have the just reward of their deeds, it sounds preposterous to assert that their hearts, eyes, etc., have been sealed up. We are told that God will bring forth His book on the Day of Judgment; if so, where is that book now? Does God make daily entries in His book after the fashion of the shopkeepers? There is another thing, which should be considered in this connection. If there is no previous birth, where did the deeds of men come from and how could the book of deed be made out? If it has been prepared in the absence of deeds, God has wronged the parties concerned. Why did He bestow happiness upon some and subject others to misery in the absence of good or bad works? If it be said that He did it, because it pleased Him to do so, in that case too He wronged them. To add to or take away from the felicity or suffering of any person without any regard to his merits or demerits is termed injustice. And will it be God who will read the book at the time specified or will He have a reader by? If God dooms to destruction souls that have been waiting for an indefinite period without any fault on their part, He is a tyrant. But he, who is a tyrant, cannot be God.

103. Lack of Justice - We gave to Themood the she-camel before their very eyes. And entices such of them as thou canst by thy voice. One day we will summon all men with their leaders: They whose book shall be given into their right hand. (XVII. 73, 61, 66.)
C. - Verily, one of the most convincing proofs, which God can advance in favor of His God-head, is the possession of the she-camel! If God ordered Satan to beguile human beings then He Himself is a greater Satan. But to call one, who leads people to commit sin, a most foolish thing. If God will call the Prophet and all his followers on the day of judgement in order to decide the fate of the dead, all of them will have to remain in custody till that period. But custody without any trial is extremely irksome and it is, therefore, the duty of every good judge to decide cases promptly. It is like the justice administered by Popan Bai. What will you think of a judge who would say that he would not administer justice till all the criminals and the law-abiding citizens of fifty years back had been gathered together in one place? What sort of justice will this be? He will keep one man in custody for fifty years, while He will decide the case of another at once. Surely this cannot be called justice. If you want to see what justice is, read the Vedas and Manusmriti, which declare that there is not a moment’s delay in the administration of justice and that all souls are judged according to their deeds. Again to hold that God summons the prophets as witnesses is to question His Omniscience. Can such a book ever be the Word of God and can its author ever be an Almighty God?

107. Virgin Mary - And remember in the book of the Qoran the story of Mary: when she retired from her family to a place towards the east, and took veil to conceal herself from them: and we sent our spirit Gabriel unto her, and he appeared unto her in the space of a perfect man. She said, fly for refuge unto the Merciful God, that He may defend me from thee, if thou fearest Him, then do not approach me. He answered, Verily I am the messenger of thy Lord, and am sent to give thee a holy son. She said, how shall I have a son, seeing a man hath not touched me and I am to harlot. Gabriel replied, so shall it be: thy Lord saith, this easy with me; and we will perform it, that we may ordain him for a sign unto men, and a mercy from us: for it is a thing which is decreed. Wherefore she conceived him and she retired aside with him in her womb to a distant place. (XIX. 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 , and 18.)
C. - It is a thing for the wise to consider that if all the angels are the spirit of God, they could not exist as separate entities from Him. Moreover, Mary while she was a Virgin, gave birth to a son, although she did not like to co-habit with any man, yet contrary to her wishes she was conceived by the angel at the Lord’s command. Now how wrong it was of God to have done so! There are many other objectionable things recorded in the Qoran, which we do not think advisable to mention here.

109. Forgiveness of Sin - It will be gracious unto him, who shall repent and believe and shall do that which is right and who shall be rightly directed. (XX. 76.)
C. - It is written in the Qoran that one’s sins are forgiven by mere repentance. This encourages sin, since there is nothing to deter men from its commission. This book and its author, therefore, place a premium upon sin.

Hence it is clear that this book cannot be the Word of God, nor can the Being described therein be Divine.
