Paras 111 – 152
111. And remember her who preserved her virginity, and into whom we breathed our spirit. (XXI. 88.)
C. - It is impossible that such obscene statements should have been recorded in Divine revelation or even in a book written by a decent man. When even human beings do not relish such writings, how can God do so? It is such statement as bring the Qoran into disrepute. If its teachings had been good, it would have commanded admiration like the Veda.
112. Idol-worship - “Seest thou not that all creatures both in the heavens and on the earth adore God? The sun, and the moon, and the stars, the mountains and the trees, and the beasts, and many men? They shall be adorned therein with bracelets of gold, and pearls, and their vestures there in shall be silk. And cleanse my House for those who compass it and who stand up.” After wards let them put an end to the neglect of other persons; and let them pay their vows, and compass the ancient House. And may commemorate the name of God. (XXII. 18, 23, 28, 30, 32.)
C. - When it is clear that inanimate objects cannot even know God, how can they then worship Him? This book cannot be of Divine origin. It seems to have been written by some ignorant man. How funny! How beautiful is the paradise where the inmates get gold ornaments studded with pearls and silken garments. This sort of paradise can in on way by better than the palaces of Kings; and if heaven is the house of God, He must be living in that very house, how can it then be said that the Qoran does not teach idol-worship? (The Mohammedan) God is like gods and goddesses such as Bhairva (Indian Bacchus) and Durga which are worshipped in the temples (of the followers of the Puranas), because He accepts presents, commands people to circumambulate His house and to offer animal sacrifice; He is the originator His house and to offer animal sacrifice; He is the originator of idol-worship in its most objectionable form, because the Mosque is a huge idol than the images of the gods. The Mohammedan God and His followers are, therefore, worse idol worshippers than the Pauranics and the Jainees.
116. Split of Sky by Clouds - On that day the heaven shall be cloven asunder by the clouds and the angles shall be sent down, descending visibly therein. Wherefore do not thou obey the unbelievers; but oppose them here with a strong opposition. Unto them will God change their former evils into good: and whoever repenteth, and doth that which is right; right; verily he turneth unto God with an acceptable conversion. (XXV. 25, 50, 68, 69.)
C. - It can never be true that the sky has been split up by the clouds. It could be split up only if it had material existence. The teaching of the Qoran disturbs the peace of the world and fosters discord. It is for this reason that righteous and learned men do not believe in it. It is unjust that sins and virtues should be balanced against one another. Sin and virtue cannot be compared to oil seeds and lentils. If repentance absolves from sin and brings him nearer to God, no body would be afraid of committing sins. All this is opposed to science.
121. And Moses struck him with his fist and slew him: And he said, O Lord, verily I have injured my own soul, wherefore forgive me. So God forgave him; for He is ready to forgive and Merciful. The Lord createth what He pleasant; and chooseth freely. (XXVIII, 14, 15, 66.)
C. - Now mark again! Are not God and Moses the Prophet of the Mohammedans and the Christians, both unjust because the latter killed people and God forgave him his sins. Does God create by the caprice of His Will. Was it due to mere caprice that one was born a king another a pauper; one a scholar, and another a fool. If it is so, the Qoran does not inculcate truth, and the Mohammedan God being unjust is no God at all.
123. God produceth creatures, and will hereafter restore them to life: then shall ye return unto Him. And on the day whereon the hour shall come, the wicked shall be struck dumb for despair. And they who shall have believed, and wrought righteousness, shall take their pleasure in a delightful meadow : Yet if we should send a blasting wind, and they should see their corn yellow and burn up. Thus hath God sealed up the hearts of those who believe not. (XXX.10, 11, 14, 50 58.)
C. - If God ordains Creation twice and not thrice. He must be sitting idle before the first Creation and after the second and will lose all vitality after creating the world twice. If the sinners are struck dumb with despair on the day of judgment, so much so good, but we hope that this verse does not mean that all except the Mohammedan will be branded as sinners and struck dumb with despair, for at many places in the Qoran by the word sinner is meant a non-Mohammedan. If the Mohammedan paradise consists of residence in a garden and adornment of the body, it is just like this world. in that case it is necessary that gardeners and goldsmiths should be there or God should do their work. Again, if some denizen of paradise gets a smaller number of ornaments, he might commit theft and be hurled down into hell. It is be so the doctrine of eternal heaven would be falsified. If God superintends agricultural operations, He must needs have gained some experience in the agricultural art! Even if it be believed that God being Omniscient knew all this, He cannot escape from the charge of having bullied and blustered. If God sealed the hearts of men and caused them to commit sin, He must
