1) Words from Satan
Imam Al-Nasfy said in his exegesis, part 3, page 161{the prophet peace
upon him was sitting in a sitting among his people and was reciting The
Star chapter (Surat An-Najm)
{By the star when it goes down, your companion has neither gone astray
nor has erred. Nor does he speak of his own desire…. Till he reached "Have
you then considered Al-Lât and Al-'Uzza and Manât the other
third?" Then some words were inserted into his tongue and he said {those
great Gharaneek, their intercession are well accepted}
Gharaneek: means the great honourable and noble idols
Al-Lât, and Al-'Uzza and Manât are idols
And he was informed by Gabriel that those words were from Satan
This was also mentioned in the Reasons for Descend by Al-Wahedy Al-Nisabory
as he said for the reason for the descent of that verse { when the messenger
of God saw his people getting away from him, he was intensely affected
by their abandoning him because of what he brought to them from his religion
, so he wished to receive from almighty God what gets him closer to them,
as he was keen to establish the faith into them , he went to a sitting
in Korish with lot of people there , he wished to receive from God something
, so he received that verse and he recited { Have you then considered Al-Lât,
and Al-'Uzza and Manât the other third?} then Satan put on his tongue
to say { those great Gharaneek, their intercession are well accepted}
When the people o Korish heard that they were delighted and they prostrated and so did all those were present in that sitting from the pagans , they were very happy to hear that saying and they said: now Muhammad had mentioned our gods( idols) in the best honourable way , we knew that Allah is the one who can amortize and revive from death but our gods( idols) are our intercessors to him, meaning that they believe in God the one but their idols had intercession to them in front of God , they said now as Muhammad had mad for those idols a place with him we will follow him
That day at night, Gabriel came to the messenger of God rebuking him
saying: what have you done , you recited to the people something I didn't
give you, and you have said what I didn't tell you to say , so the prophet
mourned and regretted and was terribly afraid from his lord, so God descended
to him { Never did We send a Messenger or a Prophet before you, but; when
he wished a Revelations , Shaitân (Satan) threw some falsehood in
it. But Allah abrogates that which Shaitân (Satan) throws in. Then
Allah establishes His verses} (The Pilgrimage chapter (Surat Al-Hajj) 52)
So when he said that verse, then Korish said now Muhammad had regretted
what he told us about our gods
It was also mentioned in Al-Galaleen exegesis, on Al-Azhar site on
the internet ,But now after Al-Azhar was granted the authority to edit
Islamic books , if you log on the site and search for this verse under
Al-Galaleen exegesis you will find written on it I" it has no explanation
!!}
So that saying was Satan's words that he threw into the prophet's tongue
Knowing that, In the Bees chapter (Surat An-Nahl) 98 he said:" So when
you want to recite the Quran, seeks refuge with Allah from Shaitân
(Satan), the outcast (the cursed one).Verily! He has no authority over
those who believe and put their trust only in Allah. His power is only
over those who obey and follow him"
So how Satan spoke on the tongue of Muhammad and says " those great
Gharaneek" while he has no authority over those who believe and put their
trust only in Allah, but his authority is only over those who obey and
follow him and the disbelievers
So how he has authority over Muhammad, making him reciting verses
2) The words of Al-Jinn
Also there is an entire chapter with name "Al- Jinn"; all of it is
the sayings of Al-jinn
In the exegesis (tafsir) of Al-Galaleen he said: "It has been revealed
to me that a group of jinn listened, and they said: 'Verily! We have heard
a wonderful Quran, It guides to the Right Path,"(Al-Jinn Chapter
The whole chapter is telling:" they said" meaning the Jinn, so the
whole chapter is the words of Al-Jinn
3) Legendaries of the ancients
In The Criterion Chapter (Surat Al-Furqan) 4-6:"Those who disbelieve
say: "This (the Quran) is nothing but a lie that he (Muhammad) has invented,
and others have helped him at it, so that they have produced an unjust
wrong thing and a lie. And they say: "legendaries of the ancients, which
he has written down, and they are dictated to him morning and afternoon..
Say: "It has been sent down by Him who knows the secret of the heavens
and the earth. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
In the Bees chapter (Surat An-Nahl) 103:"And indeed We know that they
say: "It is only a human being who teaches him, The tongue of the man they
refer to is foreign, while this is a clear Arabic tongue"
From those verses it is obvious that while Muhammad was affirming that
the quran is revelation from God, those who were contemporary to him has
another opinion
We can summarize it in:
1) what Muhammad had brought was a lie" This (the Quran) is nothing
but a lie" The Criterion Chapter (Surat Al-Furqan) 4
2) The prophet had invented it " This (the Quran) is nothing but a
lie that he (Muhammad) has invented,( The Criterion Chapter (Surat Al-Furqan)
4)
3) He was helped by others "others have helped him at it" The Criterion
Chapter (Surat Al-Furqan) 4
4) it was dictated to him by them" they are dictated to him" The Criterion
Chapter (Surat Al-Furqan) 5
5) A human being taught him that saying" It is only a human being who
teaches him" the Bees chapter (Surat An-Nahl) 103
6) What he brought was "legendaries of the ancients" as he said" And
they say: "legendaries of the ancients, which he has written down" The
Criterion Chapter (Surat Al-Furqan) 6
So many people said that the quran verses are legendaries of the ancients
and other people are telling them to him, while he said that that's God
words, so there are different opinions
In the exegesis of Imam Al-Nasfy, part 3, page 233,234 he said:"{ in
his saying {this is nothing but a lie that he has invented, and others
have helped him at it}those people were the Jews like Addas
the boy of Yathba and Yasaar and Abe Fakih Al-Roomy
And his saying" legendaries of the ancients" he meant the ancient tales
he wrote them by himself
Al-Nisabory said in his book "bizarre of the quran"part 7, page 99
{a human being who teaches him) who were those? They were 5 persons:
1) It was said a boy for Hoiteb Ibn Abdul Eza named A'ish and ya'eish,
he has the Taurât
2) It was said a Romanian boy was for Amer Ibn Al-Hadramy, he was Christian
3) It was said there were two boys: Gabre and Yasar they were manufacturing
the swards in Mecca , they were reciting the Taurât and the bible
, the messenger of God (PUH) when he was stopping by them, he was listening
to what they were reciting
4) It was said Suleiman Al-Farsi , he was a boy for Fakih Ibn Al-Moogheira
, he was Christian
5) It was said that, an iron man in Mecca
So there are 5 personages they were speaking about them
Sheikh Khalil Abdul Karim said in his book the genesis period in the
life of the truthful and the honest , page 33, mentioning another
group of names that had a great influence on the religious culture of the
prophet resulting in the release of that quran, the list include the following
names of priests and monks:
1) the priest Waraqa Ibn Nofal
2) the monk Bohyra
3) the monk Sargios
4) the monk Abbas
So saying names who are actually existing at that time, and as the
proverb is saying "no smoke exist without a fire"
This will make us think did the quran was really an inspiration from
God or dictation from those people who were contemporary to Muhammad
I think the cutting point for that matter lies in the verse mentioned
in women chapter (Surat An-Nisa') 82:" Had it been from other than Allah,
they would surely have found therein many contradictions."
So considering it from God we have to judge it by inspecting what was
mentioned in that verse is therein many contradictions?
As we know those contradictions discussed before , and the abrogation
that represent 62.28% of the quran chapters , and those verses mentioned
before in the abrogation like those of the adult suckling and the great
Gharaneek , and many other verses
So the differences are tremendous and very obvious so using the previous
judgment
Is it from God??? Big question needing answer
