Chapter 5: The Allah Delusion

“Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because if there is one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear” .

Thomas Jefferson, 3rd U.S. President

“ All religions, with their gods, their demi-gods, and their prophets, their messiahs and their saints, were created by the prejudiced fancy of men who had not attained the full development and full possession of their faculties ”.

Mikhail Bakunin (1814 - 1876)

All the existing religions acknowledge that God is the Creator of the universe. As Creator of the universe, God must be distinct from the world, and His existence cannot depend on any of His creation. Hence, he is absolutely different from anything else that exists that makes him totally unknowable. Although God Himself is unknowable, we can, to some degree, understand His relationship to the universe. In this manner, we speak of God through His “attributes of action”. Though we cannot know what God is, we can learn much by realizing what He is not.

Muslims use the remotest language possible to explain Allah. They try to make Allah as awe-inspiring as possible in order to discourage people from conducting research on him. If a Muslim is asked to define Allah, he will just beat about the bush, ascribing attributes to Allah that neither belong to Him nor befit Him. But Allah is not really as mysterious as Muslims would like the world to believe. When the falsehood of Qur’an is exposed, the falsehood of Allah is also exposed. He has been at the Ka’ba stone all along before Muhammad commenced preaching his religion. Since God is eternal, there is no creator of God. However, since Allah is not a God but pretending to be God, he has a creator. In this chapter I want to find out who had created Allah and how he was created and why he was created.

5.1: Allah: The Ungodly God

“In what concerns Divine things, belief is not appropriate. Only certainty will do. Anything less than certainty is unworthy of God”.

Simone Weil (1909 - 1943)

For past several thousand years, there had been two main religious groups predominant in much of the civilized world. One of them was sun worshippers and the other was moon worshippers. The main solar religions thriving today are Hinduism, Christianity and Buddhism (Buddhists follow largely lunar calendar but the main characteristic and many important doctrines and traditions are solar); whereas lunar religions are Islam and Judaism. Hitti (2002, p. 97) writes that the moon-worshiping is principally a pastoral society and the sun-worshiping is mainly an agricultural society.

Allah is at the centre of the Islamic faith. He has quite an interesting history. In ancient Arabia, much before Muhammad, the desert Bedouins used to worship a deity by the name Allah. Those half-starved anarchic tribes had a nomadic life as they were incapable of sustaining an agricultural society (Rodinson, 1980, p. 17). Daytime travel was nearly impossible due to the unbearable heat of the sun. Most journeys were undertaken at night, on moonlight and beneath a sky bedecked with glittering stars.
