The Q’uran promotes sinful conduct

God forgiveth what is past; but whoever doth it again, God will take vengeance on him.” (5: 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, on that promotes sinful conduct. It is true though 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.)

 Did Allah, himself send the devil to incite the innocent?

” Dost thou not see that we send devils against the infidels to incite them to sin.” (19: 78.)

C. ~ As God Himself sends devils to incite the infidels, the devils are innocent, neither the devils nor the people tempted by them could, therefore, be liable to punishment. Since all sins are committed at the bidding of the Lord, He alone should suffer the consequences thereof. If He is really the dispenser of justice, He Himself should suffer in hell the consequences of His evil deeds. But if He sets justice at naught, He becomes a sinner, since it is a sin to perpetrate injustice.

“It will be gracious unto him, who shall repent and believe and shall do that which is right and who shall be rightly directed.” (20: 76.)

C. ~ It is written in the Quran that one’s sins are forgiven by mere repentance. This encourages sin, since here is nothing to deter men from its commission. This gook 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.

“And we placed stable mountains on the earth, lest it should move with them.” (21: 31.)

C. ~ If the author of the Quran had been acquainted with the phenomenon of the revolution of the earth, he would never have taught that the earth was immovable, because mountains were fixed in it. It could be argued that if there were no mountains, it would be shaken. Why does it quake when there is a seismic disturbance?

“And remember her who preserved her virginity, and into whom we breathed our spirit.” (21: 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 statements as bring the Quran into disrepute. If its teachings had been good, it would have commanded admiration like the Vedas.
