Peace be to you. Why Muhammad changed the Quran if it is already
written in Heaven? Why Allah allowed the Qibla to be changed by Muhammad so as to please
himself? Let the Muslims explain as to why the Qibla permitted by Yahweh God is Jerusalem
City but Allah allowed Muhammad to change to the Qibla which shall please himself, not
to God.
Quran Al Imran 3 : 96 says, The first House (of worship) appointed for men was that at
Bakka: Full of blessing and of guidance for all kinds of beings. ' Yusuf Ali Translation.
The first Qibla was located at Bakka in Israel that is why Muhammad prayed towards Syria
as claimed by most Arabs, because Petra was a city once in the Roman province of Syria.
The Roman Empire had expanded from Syria into Medinah region by 106 A.D. when the Romans
called the region as Arabia Petraea.
Logically, Jordan is where the wilderness of Paran was located. Ishmael and Hagar were
residing in Paran after they were cast out of Abraham's family by the order of Sarah.
Ishmael still visited Abraham in Hebron after the death of Sarah. Both Ishmael and Isaac
buried their father Abraham when he died. This implies that Ishmael dwelt in Jordan
and not in Makka Saudi Arabia about 1,421 km away from Hebron in Israel which took more
than 30 days to travel to Hebron at that time.
Quran says the first House of worship is located in Bakka, which is where Abraham stationed
in Israel upon his arrival from Haran in Mesopotamia. The previous qibla must have pointed towards
Bakka and that the qibla was changed later towards the Sacred Site of Worship dear to
Muhammad as told in Quran 2 : 144. It also admits that the change of the qibla
was momentous except to those guided by Allah.
If the Qur'an is the exact word of Allah and a duplicate of the original one is in Heaven,
then it cannot be changed or corrected. All Muslims everywhere understand from these verses
that the qibla was changed during Muhammad’s life time. Islamic scholars several hundred
years after Muhammad’s death inform us that the original qibla pointed to Jerusalem.
They insist that when Muhammad received the revelation of Sura 2 that he stood in the
Medina mosque, and turned, and faced south instead of north (towards Syria). The Quran
however, gives us the clue about the original Qibla shall be known by the People of the
Book who read the scripture before it is given to Muhammad.
Al Muwatta 14:7 states: Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Said ibn
al Musayyab said, “The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, prayed
towards the Bayt al-Maqdis for sixteen months after arriving in Medina. Then the qibla was
moved, two months before the Battle of Badr. '
The Arabic word Quran means recitation from the holy scripture. As the recitation from
the holy scripture of the Hebrews says that the original Qibla of the Hebrews was Jerusalem
city that Yahweh God had promised to put His Name there perpetually, the change of Qibla
by Muhammad is a proof that he changed the Quran!
Quran 2 : 136, Say ye: "We believe in Allah, and the revelation given to us, and to Abraham,
Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given
to (all) prophets from their Lord: We make no difference between one and another of them:
And we bow to Allah."
Quran 2 : 140 says, Or do ye say that Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes were
Jews or Christians? ' Say: Do ye know better than Allah? Ah! who
is more unjust than those who conceal the testimony they have from Allah? But Allah
is not unmindful of what ye do! '
Readers have to understand that the term Jews is neither a race nor a religious group like
Scribes and Pharisees but Jews are called after the tribe of Judah son of Jacob. Israelites
are called after the clan of Jacob. Edomites are called after Esau, the twin brother of
Jacob that the Quran has totally omitted him. Both Israelites and Edomites are called Hebrews.
Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac were all Hebrews. The God of the Hebrews is called Yahweh God.
I am sure Abraham, Moses and Jesus Christ did not utter the word Allah in their life
time.
Quran 2 : 141. That was a people that has passed away. They shall reap the fruit of
what they did, and ye of what ye do! Of their merits there is no question in your case.
' The Hebrews like Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac have passed away and they had reaped the reward
from Yahweh God for their merits are not questionable by Muhammad an Arab from the Quraish tribe.
Quran 2 : 142. The fools among the people will say: "What has turned them from the Qibla
to which they (Jews) were used?" Say: To Allah belong both east and West: He guides whom
He will to a Way that is straight. '
Muhammad changed the Qibla away from the Hebrews like Abraham and Isaac who used to pray to
Yahweh God and not to Allah.
Quran 2 : 143. Thus, have We made of you an Ummat justly balanced, that ye might be witnesses
over the nations, and the Messenger a witness over yourselves; and We appointed the Qibla
to which thou was used, only to test those who followed the Messenger from those who
would turn on their heels (from the Faith). Indeed it was momentous except to those guided
by Allah. And never would Allah Make your faith of no effect. For Allah is to all people
Most surely full of kindness, Most Merciful.
Quran 2 : 144. We see the turning of thy face to the heavens: now Shall We turn thee to
a Qibla that shall please thee. Turn then Thy face in the direction of the sacred Mosque:
Wherever ye are, turn your faces in that direction. The People of the Book know well that that
is the Truth from their Lord. Nor is Allah unmindful of what they do.
Quran 2 : 145. Even if thou were to bring to the People of the Book all the Signs (together),
they would not follow Thy Qibla; nor art thou going to follow their Qibla; nor indeed will
they follow each other's Qibla. If thou after the knowledge has reached thee, Were to follow
their desires, then were thou indeed (clearly) in the wrong.
Quran 2 : 146. The People of the Book know this as they know their own sons; but some
of them conceal the truth which they themselves know. '
The People of the Book know the original Qibla is located in Jerusalem city which the Dome
of the Rock is currently built upon it. As Allah empowers the People of the Book to confirm
the original Qibla of prayers, then Muslims and Muslim scholars have no rights to interpret
the first Qibla of the Hebrews.
Nevertheless, all Muslims have agreed that Jerusalem is the third holiest city in Islam
because Abraham was about to sacrifice his only son, upon Mount Moriah.
Genesis 22 : 2. And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou loved,
and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon
one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
2nd Chronicles 3 : 1. Then Solomon began to build the House of YHWH at Jerusalem in Mount
Moriah, where YHWH appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared
in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
All Hebrews today pray towards Jerusalem City as Yahweh God promised to listen to the worshippers
who directed their prayers to the Solomon Temple once built upon it.
Qibla of Islam is idolatry as every Muslim is commanded by Muhammad to pray to his Qibla
dear to himself and not to the Qibla authorized by Yahweh God to King Solomon in Jerusalem
City.
YHWH spoke to King David about his son should build a House to His Name:
1st Kings 5 : 5. And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of YHWH my Elohim,
as YHWH spoke unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in
thy room, he shall build an house unto my name.
1st Kings 9 : 2. That YHWH appeared to Solomon the second time, as He had appeared unto him
at Gibeon.
1st Kings 9 : 3. And YHWH said unto him: I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication,
that thou has made before me: I have hallowed this House, which thou has built, to put my
Name there forever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually. '
1st Kings 11 : 36. Yahweh says, And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant
may have a light always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen myself to put
my Name there.
2nd Kings 21 : 4. And he built altars in the house of YHWH, of which YHWH said, In Jerusalem
will I put my name. 2nd Kings 21 : 7. And he set a graven image
of the grove that he had made in the house, of which YHWH said to David, and to Solomon
his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel,
will I put my name forever.
Quran 10 : 94 says, If thou were in doubt as to what We have revealed
unto thee, then ask those who have been reading the Book from before thee: the Truth has indeed
come to thee from thy Lord: so be in no wise of those in doubt.
The forefathers of Muhammad were not Abraham and Ishmael as they were not given the scripture
due to not believing in 10 percent of the original Hebrew scripture that was delivered
to Abraham and Isaac.
Quran Saba 34 : 44-45 says, But We had not given them Books which they could study, nor
sent messengers to them before thee (Muhammad) as Warners.
And their predecessors rejected (the Truth); these have not received a tenth of what We
had granted to those: yet when they rejected My messengers, how (terrible) was My rejection
(of them)!
Obviously, Islam is not about submission to God but to Muhammad as even Allah have to
submit to Muhammad in term of the Qibla which shall please himself. Therefore, Islam is
about submission to Muhammad by using his pagan Qibla only for prayers and Allah forbade
to use the Qibla of the People of the Book vide Quran Al-Baqarah 2 : 142-145.
To conclude, Allah of the Quran is a pagan Arabian god without respect for the Law of
Yahweh God. Allah of the Quran is an adversary of Yahweh God. There is no way out for Allah
of the Quran to be the same God of the Hebrews and Christians.
Muhammad had changed the Qibla to the one which shall please himself and he forbade
his followers to use the Qibla of the People of the Book vide Quran Al Baqarah 2 : 145
contradicting with his initial practice of Qibla as told in Quran Al Baqarah 2 : 142
by imitating the Jews who prayed towards Jerusalem city.
Muhammad has no rights to argue that the People of the Book used the wrong Qibla in Jerusalem
since he himself used it too. Islam is therefore, about following the Qibla of Muhammad and
not of Yahweh God who told King Solomon to build a House to His Name in Jerusalem where
He would put His Name there forever!
Allah of the Quran admitted that "The People of the Book know well that is the truth from
their Lord" based on Quran 2 : 144. The first Qibla is Jerusalem City where Isaac' sacrifice
was a foreshadow of Jesus Christ. As Muhammad rejected the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on
the cross at Golgotha on Mount Moriah, he turned his face away from Jerusalem and reverted
to Qibla which shall please himself in Makka.
Islam is all about submitting to the will of Muhammad as he told his followers to face
his Qibla dear to him for prayers. Despite of the fact that the Qibla of Muhammad was
used by pagan Arabs who kept their some 360 idols of gods and goddesses in the Kaaba shrine,
he did not mind to pray to these idols prior to 630 A.D. before the conquest of Makka.
In short, Islam is a call to return to Kaaba idolatry and Hajj paganism
whereby none of the Hebrew prophets have set foot in Makka an isolated city
about 1,239 km away from Jerusalem city.
Shalom.
