Really, how different are our arguments when assessed fairly against pagans? There is no guarantee that praying to a rock will produce anything. I can pray to the rock to ask for the sun to come out tomorrow and the probability of it happening is no different to praying to toothbrush, god of thunder, or anything else, including Allah. Only science, use of satellite maps, and powerful computers, that our forecasts have helped us know what will happen tomorrow.
Yet there are people who believe the wind or breeze is Allah waving his hand. Well, let’s wave Him back!
Ibn Abbas reported: A man cursed the wind in front of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. The Prophet said, “Do not curse the wind, for it only acts as it was commanded. Verily, whoever curses anything that does not deserve it, the curse will backfire against him.”
Source: Sunan al-Tirmidhī 1978
But more important to acknowledge is Muhammad copied pagan practices including the practice of Tawaf:
Narrated ‘Asim: I asked Anas bin Malik: “Did you use to dislike to perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwa?” He said, “Yes, as it was of the ceremonies of the days of the Pre-lslamic period of ignorance, till Allah revealed: ‘Verily! (The two mountains) As-Safa and Al-Marwa are among the symbols of Allah. It is therefore no sin for him who performs the pilgrimage to the Ka’ba, or performs ‘Umra, to perform Tawaf between them.’ ” (2.158)
Sahih Bukhari 2:26:710
The Seven rounds we do around the kabaa is also copied from pre-islamic pagans who believes there is seven heavens, one for sun, moon, and the five planets pagans believed existed…but now we know this is all made up. We have nine planets, and if you count the sun and the moon – there should be 11 heavens! Can you imagine if the Quran said eleven heavens in reference to planets, sun, and our moon – we would never see the end of it! “MIRACLES OF THE QURAN” but it copied pagan beliefs and said seven Heavens- Quran 71:15, 37:6, 41:11-12, and 2:29.
End of the World: Skyscrapers on Arabia lie
Islam without lies, dies.
I benefit from having long experience with these prophecies because I believed them when I grew up and I am not shocked to see them surface again – repackaged as new “facts”.
Yes, in the 1970’s and 80’s this hadith was circulated too as evidence that our prophet has predicted the END OF TIME!! And it is VERY SOON. And it made sense at time. The shepherds refers to Cowboys – the symbol of the USA. The naked and barefooted people are the land they took from the native Americans thus building skyscrapers. The USA was the first and only build the world tallest skyscrapers. It was a huge thing.
To see this lie be “repackaged” as Burj khalifa is absolute joke. Emiraties were never known to be Shepards. They may have traded with many things including sheep but never Shepards. They were known more as fishermen and trades men. And the people who build the Burj khalifa are rich western architects, designs, and even the laborers who worked on this specialist building made tons of money!
Why do these Dawah pages try to promote this lie? Because all the other predictions turned out to be false. The most important one are those two:
Anas reported Allah’s Messenger ﷺ as saying: I and the Last Hour have been sent like this and (he while doing it) joined the forefinger with the middle finger.
Anas reported that a person asked Allah’s Messenger ﷺ as to when the Last Hour would come. He had in his presence a young boy of the Ansar who was called Mabammad. Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon bion) said: If this young boy lives. he may not grow very old till (he would see) the Last Hour coming to you.

Islam without lies, dies!
How Islamic teachings evolved with Muhammad.
It is important to know that Muhammad’s message changed over time and the Quran style of writing, language, and even the tune changed.
While in Mecca, Muhammad’s verses are calm, they are all like “… Hay dude, come join me. Allah is truth. Allah created everything. Come follow me, like Jesus and Abraham before. If you do not, that is cool. It is your loss but cool….” in all the first ten years, Muhammad could convert just 150 believers.
When Muhammad migrated to Madina, failed to convert the big Jewish tribes – despite his best efforts. But he has built up an extensive army. In that time, the Quran tune changed completely to ” Muslims have to do this and that, don’t drink, do not mix with none believers… AND you kuffar are all bastards, either you convert or I will kill you and Allah will stick you like a kabab and fry you… etc”. In fact, Muhammad cancelled earlier peaceful verses in a process called Naskh نسخ.You can read more about it here:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naskh_(tafsir)
These became known as Meccian verses and Madina verses. We have our own theory here. Muhammad in Mecca was relying on what he learned from his maternal uncle Waraqah Ibn Nawfal, a priest in Christianity and Judaism, to invent verses in the Quran. But in Madina Muhammad was on his own and making up his own material. What changed between Mecca and Medina that Allah’s *language and style* of writing would change!!!
Allah knows the future and Allah does not change. Allah must have known all this from the start. Nothing should have surprised Him, especially if Allah knows the future.
Some will disagree, because they read the Quran and it sounds all the same. Firstly, you read the translations and secondly the Quran is not in chronological order. You need to read all the Meccan verses together then the Madina ones to see the difference. This difference is well documented in Islamic sources.
Now guess and win:
So when a Dawah come and tell you, Islam is peaceful…look this is a verse says “You have your religion and I have mine” tell him, isn’t this a Mecca verse? And wasn’t this cancelled in the Madina?
Was Muhammad womaniser?
Was Muhammad a womaniser? Absolutely, many Muslim men acknowledge that. Was he a corrupted politician and writing the Quran himself? Let’s see.
Muhammad was supposedly a humble messenger of Allah. To follow everything Allah told Him to do. But when Allah said maximum of four wives, Muhammad had at the time of this story 9 wives, many concubines, and still to Aisha shock, Muhammad was sleeping with any Muslima who came along, even without the approval of a guardian. So Ausha kick up a fuss with Muhammad, like what the hell!! But next day “Allah” responded with an out of jail card:
…a believing woman if (she) offers herself to the Prophet, if he is interested to (يستنكحها – FCUK her) this is exclusively for him, not for the rest of the believers… Quran 33:50
Now, if you open any translation, you will not find the F word, why? Because it is absolutely embarrassing. So translators, whenever they found the word نكاح، يستنكح، or in this case يستنكها – all derivatives of the same words that appear multiple times in the Quran, they replaced it with the word Marriage as derivative of عقد نكاح which is marriage contract, but which all Arabs know translates to “contract to FCUK”! You don’t believe me? Ask any Arab (don’t tell them the context) or try any online or offline dictionary!
Anyways, xan you guess what Aisha response was? “
‘A’isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported:
I felt jealous of the women who offered themselves to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and said: Then when Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed this:” You may defer any one of them you wish, and take to yourself any you wish; and if you desire any you have set aside (no sin is chargeable to you)” (xxxiii. 51), I (‘A’isha.) said: It seems to me that your Lord hastens to satisfy your desire.

Confirmation Bias: Fake News
This is not the first time I have seen people share fake news. I have collated five instances where posts like these went viral and they are pure fabrication. Here are the links:

In my days and at least once a year, we used to get stories of some celebrity who converted to Islam and everything from Radio Stations to even some TV channels. It was once Michael Jackson, then Madonna, then Maradona, to even once the Pope himself supposedly converting to Islam! And then nothing happens, we don’t hear of them anything. And people fell for these lies again and again…
Now it is getting worse! You get celebrities who are either releasing a new film, song, want a new football contact in a rich gulf country, they make a hint that they are considering Islam – like they take a photo of them carrying a Quran or say “innocently” in an interview they loved hearing the Adaan (call for prayer) and the Islamic apologists media goes mental!! Starving to hear of who is the next “celebrity” to REAFFIRM OUR FAITH IS CORRECT!!!
It is a cruel existence of a faith to need other people to reaffirm it for you because now you get attention seeking class D celebrities who jump on this wagon to make attention to themselves and a bit of money as their career sinks everywhere else. Take the Irish singer Sineed O’Connor. I don’t blame you if you never heard of her, she had one single hit…she has shaved her head, no one cared, she declared herself lesbian, no one cared, she had nervous breakdown, no one cared…
She put a Hijab and called herself Muslim while still singing and the media in the Islamic world went drumming for her…..after getting all the attention she needed…she sang the Adaan…she took off her Hijab…and now she disappeared! Should I tell you about Kim Kardashian and how she dressed in black…you know the story better than me. 😂
Islamic Debates part 1
This is not all the debates I have had, but it does seem to be the trend for the majority. They wish they could tie me up, tape my mouth, and bombard me 1000 Dawah video until I declare the Shahada so they can claim that Allah has wiped away the sins they have done and that Allah will reward them with tight holes and big boobs in brothel-Jannah!
That mentality comes from a well researched concept called tribalism. The Islamic Tribalist will defend Islam whatever. Before they would have read the verse, the translation is wrong. Before I had finished pasting the Hadith, the Hadith is weak or only Shia do that! Without opening a link or Video, they will claim they seen it. Not even a second to read the title of the video.
When I first started my online activism in 2018, I recall having this debate with an Islamist that went on for two weeks. After we both got exhausted from me giving my points and him finding “excuses” that many times did not make any sense. In the End, I ask him what would sway him to realise that Islam is made up – let’s say we invent a time machine and he goes back in time and finds Muhammad and finds everything I told him is true and Muhammad himself tells him that he made this whole thing up, say maybe because he saw it better than pagan culture – would he then believe Islam is not true. His answer was word for word “Even if Muhammad himself told me Islam is not true, I would still want to believe in Islam” that is when I realised that some people need Islam come truth or lie they don’t care. And debating them is pointless.
Why Muhammad never asked for the Quran to be collated as a book in his lifetime?
We know for absolute fact that Muhammad never asked for the Quran to be put together as a book in his life time. Go search all Islamic sources that you love to read. It was at least 20 years after Muhammad had died that the Quran was collated and put as one book. This is agreed by all Islamic sources. The question that many believers gloss over it is why Muhammad never asked to write the verses of the Quran into one book? How did we end up entrusting a nobody by the name of Zayd Ibn Thabit – to collate and organise the Quran. The answer if you dare open your eyes is that… Muhammad thought the world will end in his life time or very shortly after. We know this from the Hadith and Quran:
Anas reported Allah’s Messenger ﷺ as saying: I and the Last Hour have been sent like this and (he while doing it) joined the forefinger with the middle finger.
A’isha reported that when the desert Arabs came to Allable Messenger ﷺ they asked about the Last Hour as to when that would come. And he looked towards the youngest amongst them and said: If he lives he would not grow very old that he would find your Last Hour coming to you the would see you pass away) ” .
These hadiths are repeated in Multiple places!!

Even the Quran kept us guessing when it said ” …You never know, perhaps the Hour is near.” Quran 42:17
The Quran suggest the end of time is verses: 54:1, 53:57, 33:63, 43:66, 25:11, 6:31, 22:7, 30:12 and more!!
In verse 54:1, it says the split of the moon is a sign that the hour is near – That was 1400 years ago!!!
But why this tactic works? If you believe the world will end soon, you will not care if you die in a battle field, future plans are cancelled, and a cult like followers impressed with the certainty of end will gather.
Nowadays, Islamic scholars push this and other failed Hadith under the carpet. And invent alternative “signs of end of times” to frighten you. For 1400 years, each year they tell you “signs it is near”
Islam Cognitive dissonance part 1
The shock must be overwhelming! Having not experienced anyone openly critical of their faith, many of my brothers and sisters react with anger. Their reaction is like the shit hits the fan!! Why? Psychologist call it “Cognitive Dissonance”.
Cognitive Dissonance is not restricted to one religion, but the reaction to it differs based on religious teaching. Some learn to ignore it, some learn to accept it, while others who live in a bubble and never seen such things get excessively aggressive and even violent. We say, learn to challenge your faith the same way you want other to challenge their own faith. Read what they have to say, and ask yourself….Do they have a valid point? If not, think carefully and write your response. Do not spam us with verses and irrelevant YouTube videos… This is not going to work.
Here are the answers to these common questions:
- We did not come from monkeys, we evolved over millions of years from primates.
- Humans do not need religion to know morals. There are 1.2 billion atheists and agnostics in the world, you do not see them committing crimes and killing.
- We know you want to convince yourself that your faith has not been shaken. But your reaction says otherwise. This maybe the first chip but now you curious brain will never be able to shake it out. You can try to ignore it, but it is always there.
Refuse as you may, to understand Evolution and the universe you do not need a level of IQ to accept unscientific commands that suggest man is made of clay and women is made from his rib… You just need to be a sponge.
Prophet example for all of us: Umm Qirfa
Umm Qirfa was an elderly Arab woman contemporaneous to Muhammad, the prophet of Islam. She is said to have belonged to a pagan tribe named Banu Fazara at the valley of al-Qurra. The elderly woman was also said to be a chief of her clan, which was brutally killed when Muhammad and his followers raided and overpowered them. The attack took place almost six years after Muhammad’s Hijra to Medina in 622 AD. Traditional sources recount how Muhammad’s companions tied Umm Qirfa to a pair of camels which, after being made to run in opposite directions, tore her body in half. Her daughter was passed around by different Sahabah as slave (described as very pretty) until Muhammad demanded her and took her as his slave. Does that sound more like Islam 2.0 or ISIS?
Allah’s Messenger sent Zayd to Wadi Qura, where he encountered the Banu Fazarah. Some of his Companions were killed, and Zayd was carried away wounded. Ward was slain by the Banu Badr. When Zayd returned, he vowed that no washing should touch his head until he had raided the Fazarah. After he recovered, Muhammad sent him with an army against the Fazarah settlement. He met them in Qura and inflicted casualties on them and took Umm Qirfah prisoner. He also took one of Umm’s daughters and Abdallah bin Mas’adah prisoner. Zyad bin Harithah ordered Qays to kill Umm, and he killed her cruelly. He tied each of her legs with a rope and tied the ropes to two camels, and they split her in two.

Now apologists blood will call me a LIAR LIAR!!! Wait…here is the link from the authentic hadith for your pleasure
Islamic science mixing of two seas
https://legacy.quran.com/55/19-20
Verses 54:19-20 are marketed as “miracles of the Quran” but are they? It is not two seas but fresh water from rivers mixing with sea, a process that is happening ALL the time but when the water is flowing too fast, it may appear they are not mixing. But let us see that the Tafsir says:
Interpretation of Ibn Katheer – that is, he made a barrier between fresh and salt water, that is: a barrier that prevents them from mixing.
First, as we are used to, all the information mentioned in the Qur’an is copying, pasting, and stealing from civilizations, cultures, and people who preceded Muhammad by thousands of hundreds of years, including Aristotle, the Greek philosopher who was a student of Plato. Aristotle says that salty water does not mix with fresh water that is suitable for drinking, because salty water is less than fresh water… Is Pagan Aristotle now a prophet and should we pray for Zeus?
From a historical point of view, there are those who mentioned the information hundreds of years before the Qur’an, and it is not new information.
Now we come to explain the phenomenon scientifically:
When fresh water and salt water meet at an estuary, they don’t always mix easily. Because freshwater flowing down an estuary is less salty and less dense than water from the ocean, it often floats on top of heavier seawater. The amount of mixing of fresh water and sea water depends on the direction and speed of the winds, the tidal range, the shape of the estuary, and the volume and rate of river water flow during the entry into the estuary.
Firstly, a well-known phenomenon at that time, and also scientifically documented, is not accurate because it is based on observation with the naked eye and Islamically contains an error because Muhammad’s interpretation of it is the existence of a barrier (isthmus) that separates salty and fresh water (and this does not exist).
