Secrets of the Quran

 SECRETS OF THE KORAN... by John Richardson.

WHAT AN EYE OPENER.

He is definitely one of the foremost missionary statesmen of our day with his service among Muslims for a lifetime. His work and research covered Malaysia, West Papua, Indonesia, United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. He said his one mission in life was to research his way into the roots of Islam itself, beginning with its founder Mohammed and its foundations in the Koran.

THIS BOOK IS FOR MUSLIMS:

This book serves to educate all Muslims who really want to know the truth behind their religion and the Koran (Yes, not from their traditional cultural viewpoints, and... Don is definitely not an enemy of Islam, but somebody who loves and serves Muslims for a whole lifetime). 

Richardson knows and deeply studied the original traditional languages of the Koran as well as compared it with eight English translations to prevent any misreading of Mohammed.s intent.

THIS BOOK IS FOR CHRISTIANS: 

This book will also educate Western Christians about the truth concerning the Islamic religion while maintaining the imperative of reaching the Muslim masses with the gospel. 

BOOK REVIEW:

Dr Jim Garlow about the book... Whenever one discusses Islam, two choices are left: (1) speak the truth and make some people very upset, or (2) sugarcoat the facts and be quite popular. Don Richardson chose the former. He is a truth speaker. This will not make him popular, but it will make him historically correct on the issues.

ISLAM RESEARCH CONCLUSIONS - A Man Made Religion?

Dear Muslims,
In my research about Islam, your Prophet and your Book I came to many interesting conclusions...

You can find some of it when search the following #Hashtags on Facebook or the Internet...
#Quran_Errors
#Quran_Contradictions
#Quran_Secrets
#Quranic_Versions
#Holes_in_the_Quran

😄For example, Muslims told me the Quran is without mistakes, was received direct from Allah to Muhammad and was never changed.

❓Can it be that there are historical errors in the Quran?

Look to this video. https://youtu.be/cuNJZHlht0w

👉The verbal summary covered in the video.

The Qur’an has many Internal Historical Problems, proving it came from Human origins, and was not from God. For instance:

A) The Qur’an introduces a Samaritan too early Surah 20:85-87, 95-97: "the Samiri has led them astray...[Moses] said, "And what is your case, O Samiri?" -Yet, Samaritans did not exist at the time of Moses (1400 BC) -The Samaritans were created after the fall of the Northern Kingdom of Israel by Sargon II the Assyrian king in 722BC, almost 700 years later. 

B) And a Mosque too early Surah 17:1 “Glorified is He who took His slave for a journey by night from al-Masjid al-Haram [Mecca] to al-Masjid al-Aqsa” [Jerusalem] (known as Mi’raj – 621 AD) -The Dome of the Rock was built in 691 AD -The Masjid al Aqsa was built in 710 AD, -Yet, this night journey is known as the Mi’raj, which supposedly happened in 621 AD! -What’s more, Muslims didn’t get to Jerusalem to build anything until 638-639 AD -It couldn’t even be the Jewish temple of Jerusalem, as it was destroyed in 70 AD! 

  C) And Coats of Chain-Mail too early Surah 34:10-11: “And We certainly gave David… And We made pliable for him iron, Make full coats of mail and calculate [precisely] the links” -David lived in 1,000 BC -Coats of chain mail were not invented until 200 BC, 800 years later! D) The Qur’an mis-places Crucifixions too early -S.7:120-124 [Pharaoh said to sorcerers at the time of Moses = 1400 BC] "Indeed, this is a conspiracy which you conspired in the city to expel therefrom its people...then I will surely crucify you all." (also S.20:71) -S.12:41 [Pharaoh to a baker at the time of Joseph = 1800 BC], ”O two companions of the prison! `As for one of you, he will pour out wine for his lord to drink; and as for the other, he will be crucified…" -Moses’s pharaoh = 1447 BC; Joseph’s pharaoh = 1800 BC -Crucifixions were not even used in Egypt -They were first introduced in 500 BC -Thus, the Qur’an’s crucifixions are in the wrong place, and 1,000 – 1,300 years too early! E) Then Denies the Crucifixion of Jesus S.4:157 And [for] their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah." And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him" -Thallus Greek (Samaritan hist. 52 AD) talk about the crucifixion -So did Phlegon the Greek (Rome writer 1st c.) -Josephus Jewish (AD 37 to 90) -Tacitus (Roman hist.-110 AD) -So, Greek, Roman, and Jewish Historians from the 1st – 2nd century ALL agree that it was Jesus who was on the Cross F) It’s got the Wrong Mary -Surah 19:28 = “O Mary, you have certainly done a thing unprecedented. O sister of Aaron” -Surah 66:12 = “And Maryam, the daughter of Imran, who guarded her chastity” -Surah 20:30 = “Aaron, my [Moses] brother” -Miriam is the sister of Aaron and Moses -All three are the children of Amran (Ex. 6:20) -In Luke the Father of Mary is not Amran, but Heli (Luke 3:23) -And she lived 1400 years after Aaron and Moses G) It confuses Pharaoh, the Tower of Babel, & Haman Surah 40:36-37 (and S.38:28) “And Pharaoh said, "O Haman, construct for me a tower that I might reach the ways -The ways into the heavens - so that I may look at the deity of Moses; but indeed, I think he is a liar.“ -Egypt never built any towers. They built pyramids and temples -Haman was not an Egyptian, but a Persian -Esther 3:1 = Haman was the minister of the Persian king Ahasuerus (Xerxes 1 according to the Greeks) and reigned between 486-465BC -Thus, Pharaoh (1500BC) and Haman (510BC) never met each other H) It makes Alexander the Great an amazing engineer Surah 18:96: “Bring me sheets of iron...between the two mountain walls...that I may pour over it molten copper" -He Builds an iron and copper Wall between 2 mountains! In 330 BC? -There’s no Record of such a wall in his 3 biographies! -Such a feat would hardly be possible even today! I) It refers to ‘futuristic’ coins (Dirham) too early -Surah 12:20 “a few dirhams counted out” (The coins used to buy Joseph) -Joseph lived in 1800 BC -Coins were created = 600s BC by the Lydians -Dirhams were introduced post 661 AD, by the Sufyani family -Could this be a later Redaction? CONCLUSION: Whoever wrote the Qur’an didn’t know their history -The Qur’an introduces, Samaritans, Mosques, chain-mail, crucifixions, and Dirham coins too early -It introduces the Qibla and the Ka’aba in Mecca too late -It suggests that Alexander the Great was an amazing engineer -It confuses the OT and the NT Marys, as well as Pharaoh, the Tower of Babel, and Haman -This suggests that either the authors of the Qur’an didn’t know their history well, or that they borrowed these stories from other sources with little discretion on their parts -Either way, this once more proves that the Qur’an is not from God, but created and written down by finite and frail men like you and me © Pfander Centre for Apologetics - US, 2020
