I Have studied the origins of the Koran and many Islamic beliefs and doctrines and have come to the conclusion that Islam heavily plagiarized many Christian texts which I will systematically discuss exposing the Koran’s entirely human and plagiarized origins. This post will be very lengthy but I desire to share all my research with CAF so bear with me.The Koran was written in the 7th century and contains many tales which come from far earlier Christian texts.

** 1 Plagiarism of the New Testament:**

The Koran plagiarises many teachings and concepts straight from the New Testament. Even the very words the Koran uses expose it’s foreign Christian influences. The Arabic word for the Gospel Injil إنجيل comes directly from the Greek word Ευαγγέλιον (Evangelion). Likewise the Arabic word for Jesus, Isa عيسى comes from the Greek translation of his name Ἰησοῦς (Iesous) used in the New Testament.This is not his proper name in Hebrew which is Yeshua. In Arabic his correct name would be Yashu. So the very fact that the Koran uses his unsemitic Hellenized name exposes its Christian influences.

These following verses further expose Islam’s Christian origins

Surah Al-Araf

“40. Lo! they who deny Our revelations and scorn them, for them the gates of heaven will nor be opened not will they enter the Garden until the camel goeth through the eye of a needle. Thus do We reward the guilty.”

The Gospel of Mathew ( 70- 110 AD)
Chapter 19

" 23. Then Jesus said to his disciples “Truly I tell you, it will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God"

The Gospel of Mark ( 70 AD)

Chapter 10

"24. But Jesus said to them again "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! 25. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God"

Surah Al Maeda

“70. And We took compact with the Children of Israel, and We sent Messengers to them. Whensoever there came to them a Messenger with that their souls had not desire for, some they cried lies to, and some they slew”

In Surah Al-E-Imran we read:

“.21 As to those who deny the Signs of Allah and in defiance of right, slay the prophets, and slay those who teach just dealing with mankind, announce to them a grievous penalty.”

In Surah Al-Baqara we read:

" 91. When it is said to them (Jews), "Believe in what Allah Hath sent down, "they say, “We believe in what was sent down to us:” yet they reject all besides, even if it be Truth confirming what is with them.Say: "Why then have ye slain the prophets of Allah in times gone by, if ye did indeed believe?"

The Gospel of Mathew (70- 110 AD)

Chapter 23

" 37. Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often I desired to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings and you were not willing”

Sunnah Abu Dawud, Book 28, Number 3883

Narrated AbudDarda’:
I heard the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) say: If any of you is suffering from anything or his brother is suffering, he should say: Our Lord is Allah Who is in the heaven, holy is Thy name, Thy command reigns supreme in the heaven and the earth, as Thy mercy in the heaven, make Thy mercy in the earth; forgive us our sins, and our errors; Thou art the Lord of good men;send down mercy from Thy mercy, and remedy, and remedy from Thy remedy on this pain so that it is healed up."

The Gospel of Mathew (70 - 110 AD)

Chapter 6

" 9. "Pray then in this way: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be your name
10. Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven 11. Give us this day our daily bread 12. and forgive us our debts as we have forgiven our debtors 13. and do not bring us to the time of trial, but rescue us from the evil one”

The Gospel of Luke ( 1st- 2nd Centuries AD)

Chapter 11

" 2. He said to them “When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come 3. Give us this day our daily bread 4. And forgive us our sins,for we ourselves forgive everyone indebted to us. And do not bring us to the time of trial.”

Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 2, Number 21:

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
The Prophet said, "When the people of Paradise will enter Paradise and the people of Hell will go to Hell, Allah will order those who have had faith equal to the weight of a grain of mustard seed to be taken out from Hell. So they will be taken out but (by then) they will be blackened (charred). Then they will be put in the river of Haya’ (rain) or Hayat (life).

Sahih Muslim Book 041, Number 6945:

'A’isha reported:
…Then Allah would send the sweet fragrant air by which everyone who has even **a mustard grain of faith **in Him would die and those only would survive who would have no goodness in them.

The Gospel of Mathew( 70- 110 AD)
Chapter 17

“20. For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, move from here to there and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you”

The Gospel of Luke (1st - 2nd Centuries AD)

Chapter 17

" 5. The Apostles said to the lord “Increase our Faith” 6. the Lord replied “if you had the faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, be uprooted and planted in the sea and it would obey you”

Surah An-Nisa

“171 Oh People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) a messenger of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary”
 
Sahih Muslim Book 001, Number 0380:

Narrated by Abu Huraira and Hudhaifa: “…you better go to Jesus (peace be upon him), the Word of Allah and His Spirit. Jesus would say: I am not in a position to do that.”

The Gospel of John (90-140 AD)

Chapter 1

“ 1. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the word was God 2. He was in the beginning with God 3. All things came into being through him and without him not one thing came into being…14. And **the Word became flesh **and lived amongst us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son full of grace and truth"

** 2 Plagiaism of The Apocryphal Gospels: **

The Koran Plagiarises many tales about Jesus and Mary straight from the apocryphal gospels

Surah Al-Maeda 5:110

“Thou makest out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My leave, and thou breathest into it and it becometh a bird by My leave, and thou healest those born blind, and the lepers,”

Surah Al-E-Imran 3:49

"…I have come to you, with a Sign from your Lord, in that I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah’s leave

This is plagiarised from the Infancy Gospel of Thomas vol. 1, p. 444 (written between 80-185 AD)

II. 1 This little child Jesus when he was five years old was playing at the ford of a brook: and he gathered together the waters that flowed there into pools, and made them straightway clean, and commanded them by his word alone. 2 And having made soft clay, he fashioned thereof twelve sparrows. And it was the Sabbath when he did these things (or made them). And there were also many other little children playing with him. 3 And a certain Jew when he saw what Jesus did, playing upon the Sabbath day, departed straightway and told his father Joseph: Lo, thy child is at the brook, and he hath taken clay and fashioned twelve little birds, and hath polluted the Sabbath day. 4 And Joseph came to the place and saw: and cried out to him, saying: Wherefore doest thou these things on the Sabbath, which it is not lawful to do? But Jesus clapped his hands together and cried out to the sparrows and said to them: Go! and the sparrows took their flight and went away chirping. 5 And when the Jews saw it they were amazed, and departed and told their chief men that which they had seen Jesus do.

Surah Al-E-Imran 3:46

" **He (Jesus) will speak unto mankind in his cradle **and in his manhood, and he is of the righteous. "

In Surah Maryam 19:29-30

" But she (Mary) pointed to the babe. They said: “How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?. He (Jesus) said: "I am indeed a servant of Allah: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet”

The Arabic Gospel of The Infancy of The Saviour. (This Gospel is believed by scholars to have originally been written in Aramaic by the Christian communities throughout the Levant, the gospel became very popular in Arabia which is how it acquired its name but it is not Arab in origin. Many scholars believe this gospel dates from the 5th and 6th centuries but due to its damaging nature Muslim scholars contend that its post Islamic)
  1. We find (1) what follows in the book of Joseph the high priest, who lived in the time of Christ. Some say that he is Caiaphas. (2) He** has said that Jesus spoke, and, indeed, when He was lying in His cradle said to Mary His mother: I am Jesus, the Son of God, the Logos**, whom thou hast brought forth, as the Angel Gabriel announced to thee; and my Father has sent me for the salvation of the world.
Mohammad changed the original Jesus from saying that he is the Logos, the Son of god to a prophet of Allah. Mohammad took the tale but twisted it to suit his own ends

Surah Al-E-Imran 3:37

And her Lord accepted her with full acceptance and vouchsafed to her a goodly growth; and made Zachariah her guardian. Whenever Zachariah went into the sanctuary where she was, he found that she had foodHe said: O Mary! Whence cometh unto thee this (food)? She answered: It is from Allah. Allah giveth without stint to whom He will"

Protevangelium of James aka Gospel of James ( written between 140-170 AD)
VI. 1 And she made a sanctuary in her bed chamber and suffered nothing common or unclean to pass through it. And she called for the daughters of the Hebrews that were undefiled, and they carried her hither and thither.
VIII. 1 And her parents gat them down marveling, and praising the Lord God because tile child was not turned away backward.
And Mary was in the temple of the Lord as a dove that is nurtured: and she received food from the hand of an angel.

Surah Al-E-Imran 3:44

This is part of the tidings of the things unseen, which We reveal unto thee (O Messenger!) by inspiration: Thou wast not with them when they cast lots with arrows, as to which of them should be charged with the care of Mary: Nor wast thou with them when they disputed (the point).
 
Protevangelium of James aka Gospel of James (140-170 AD)

XIII 3 And the high priest took the vestment with the twelve bells and went in unto the Holy of Holies and prayed concerning her. And lo, an angel of tile Lord appeared saying unto him: Zacharias, Zacharias~ go forth and assemble them that are widowers of the people, and let them bring every man a rod, and to whomsoever the Lord shall show a sign, his wife shall she be. And the heralds went forth over all the country round about Judaea, and the trumpet of the Lord sounded, and all men ran thereto.
IX. 1 And Joseph cast down his adze and ran to meet them, and when they were gathered together they went to the high priest and took their rods with them. And he took the rods of them all and went into the temple and prayed. And when he had finished the prayer he took the rods and went forth and gave them back to them: and there was no sign upon them. But Joseph received the last rod: and 1o, a dove came forth of the rod and flew upon the bead of Joseph. And the priest said unto Joseph: Unto thee hath it fallen to take the virgin of the Lord and keep her for thyself.

The Gospel of The Nativity of Mary
CHAP. 8.–Now there was among the rest Joseph, of the house and family of David, a man of great age: and when all brought there rods, according to the order, he alone withheld his. Wherefore, when nothing in conformity with the divine voice appeared, the high priest thought it necessary to consult God a second time; **and He answered, that of those who had been designated, he alone to whom the virgin ought to be espoused had not brought his rod. **Joseph, therefore, was found out. For when he had brought his rod, and the dove came from heaven; and settled upon the top of it, it clearly appeared to all that he was the man to whom the virgin should be espoused. Therefore, the usual ceremonies of betrothal having been gone through, he went back to the city of Bethlehem to put his house in order, and to procure things necessary for the marriage. But Mary, the virgin of the Lord, with seven other virgins of her own age, and who had been weaned at the same time, whom she had received from the priest, returned to the house of her parents in Galilee.

The History of Joseph the Carpenter
3. Now when righteous Joseph became a widower, my mother Mary, blessed, holy, and pure, was already twelve years old. For her parents offered her in the temple when she was three years of age, and she remained in the temple of the Lord nine years. Then when the priests saw that the virgin, holy and God-fearing, was growing up, they spoke to each other, saying: Let us search out a man, righteous and pious, to whom Mary may be entrusted until the time of her marriage; lest, if she remain in the temple, it happen to her as is wont to happen to women, and lest on that account we sin, and God be angry with us.4. Therefore they immediately sent out, and assembled twelve old men of the tribe of Judah. And they wrote down the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. And the lot fell upon the pious old man, righteous Joseph. Then the priests answered, and said to my blessed mother: Go with Joseph, and be with him till the time of your marriage. Righteous Joseph therefore received my mother, and led her away to his own house

Surah Maryam 19:23-26

"023. And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm-tree: She cried (in her anguish): "Ah! would that I had died before this! would that I had been a thing forgotten and out of sight!. 24**. But (a voice) cried to her from beneath the (palm-tree): “Grieve not! for thy Lord hath provided a rivulet (stream) beneath thee; 25. And shake towards thyself the trunk of the palm-tree: It will let fall fresh ripe dates upon thee**.26. So eat and drink and cool (thine) eye. And if thou dost see any man, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to (Allah) Most Gracious, and this day will I enter into not talk with any human being’”

The Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew (written between the 5th and 6th centuries)

CHAP. 20.-- And it came to pass on the third day of their journey, while they were walking, that the blessed Mary was fatigued by the excessive heat of the sun in the desert; and seeing a palm tree, she said to Joseph: Let me rest a little under the shade of this tree. Joseph therefore made haste, and led her to the palm, and made her come down from her beast. And as the blessed Mary was sitting there, she looked up to the foliage of the palm, and saw it full of fruit, and said to Joseph: I wish it were possible to get some of the fruit of this palm. And Joseph said to her: I wonder that thou sayest this, when thou seest how high the palm tree is; and that thou thinkest of eating of its fruit. I** am thinking more of the want of water, because the skins are now empty**, and we have none wherewith to refresh ourselves and our cattle. Then the child Jesus, with a joyful countenance, reposing in the bosom of His mother, said to the palm: O tree, bend thy branches, and refresh my mother with thy fruit. And immediately at these words the palm bent its top down to the very feet of the blessed Mary; and they gathered from it fruit, with which they were all refreshed. And after they had gathered all its fruit, it remained bent down, waiting the order to rise from Him who bad commanded it to stoop. Then Jesus said to it: Raise thyself, O palm tree, and be strong, and be the companion of my trees, which are in the paradise of my Father; and open from thy roots a vein of water which has been hid in the earth, and let the waters flow, so that we may be satisfied from thee.
 
And it rose up immediately, and at its root there began to come forth a spring of water exceedingly clear and cool and sparkling. And when they saw the spring of water, they rejoiced with great joy, and were satisfied, themselves and all their cattle and their beasts. Wherefore they gave thanks to God.

Surah Al-E-Imran 3:35-36

" 0.35. Behold! a woman of 'Imran said: "O my Lord! I do dedicate unto Thee what is in my womb for Thy special service: So accept this of me: For Thou hearest and knowest all things. 036. When she was delivered, she said: “O my Lord! Behold! I** am delivered of a female child!”- and Allah knew best what she brought forth- “And no wise is the male Like the female. I have named her Mary”**

Protevangelium of James aka Gospel of James (140-170 AD)

IV. 1 And behold an angel of the Lord appeared, saying unto her: Anna, Anna, the Lord hath hearkened unto thy prayer, and thou shalt conceive and bear, and thy seed shall be spoken of in the whole world. And Anna said: As the Lord my God liveth, if I bring forth either male or female, I will bring it for a gift unto the Lord my God, and it shall be ministering unto him all the days of its life.
2 And her months were fulfilled, and in the ninth month Anna brought forth. And she said unto the midwife: what have I brought forth ? And she said: A female. And Anna said: My soul is magnified this day, and she laid herself down. And when the days were fulfilled, Anna purified herself and gave suck to the child and called her name Mary.

3 Jannah/ Heaven:

The Islamic heaven found in the Koran known as Jannah in Arabic is described in the Following Surahs

Surah 2 al-Baqara

“25. But give glad tidings to those who believe and work righteousness that their portion is Gardens beneath which rivers flow. Every time they are fed with fruits therefrom they say: “Why this is what we were fed with before” for they are given things in similitude; and they have therein companions (pure and holy); and they abide therein (for ever).”

“133. Be quick in the race for forgiveness from your Lord and for a garden whose width is that (of the whole) of the heavens and of the earth prepared for the righteous”

Surah 3 Aali Imran
  1. Say: shall I give you glad tidings of things far better than those? For the righteous are Gardens in nearness to their Lord with rivers flowing beneath; Therein is their eternal home; with spouses purified and the good pleasure of Allah, for in Allah’s sight are (all) His servants
Surah 4 an-Nisaa
  1. But those who believe and do deeds of righteousness We shall soon admit to gardens with rivers flowing beneath their eternal home: therein shall they have companions pure and holy: We shall admit them to shades cool and ever deepening.
Surah 9 at-Tawbah
  1. Allah hath promised to believers men and women gardens under which rivers flow to dwell therein and beautiful mansions in gardens of everlasting bliss. But the greatest bliss in the Good Pleasure of Allah: that is the supreme felicity.
Surah 13 ar-Ra’d
  1. Gardens of perpetual bliss: they shall enter there as well as the righteous among their fathers their spouses and their offspring: and angels shall enter unto them from every gate (with the salutation):
  2. The parable of the Garden which the righteous are promised! beneath if flow rivers: perpetual is the enjoyment thereof and the shade therein: such is the End of the Righteous; and the End of Unbelievers is the Fire.
Surah 14 Ibrahim
  1. **But those who believe and work righteousness will be admitted to Gardens beneath which rivers flow **to dwell therein for aye with the leave of their Lord: their greeting therein will be: "Peace
Surah: 15. al-Hijr
  1. The righteous (will be) **amid Gardens and fountains (of clear-flowing water). **
Surah: 16. an-Nahl
  1. **Gardens of Eternity which they will enter: beneath them flow (pleasant) rivers: they will have therein all that they wish: thus doth Allah reward the righteous **
Surah: 37. as-Saaffaat
  1. But the sincere (and devoted) servants of Allah
  2. For them is a Sustenance Determined
  3. Fruits (Delights) and they (shall enjoy) honor and dignity. **
    43    . In Gardens of Felicity. **
  4. Facing each other on Thrones (of dignity):
  5. Round will be passed to them a Cup from a** clear-flowing fountain **
    46**. Crystal-white of a taste delicious to those who drink** (thereof)
  6. **Free from headiness; nor will they suffer intoxication therefrom. **48. And beside them will be chaste women; restraining their glances with big eyes (of wonder and beauty).
  7. As if they were (delicate) eggs closely guarded.
Surah 38 Saad
  1. This is a Message (of admonition): and verily, For the righteous, is a beautiful place of (final) return,-
  2. Gardens of eternity, whose doors will (ever) be open to them;
  3. Therein will they recline (at ease); therein can they call (at pleasure) **for fruit in abundance,ad (delicious) drink; **
 
Also important to note are the similarities between beliefs in the Koran and heretical beliefs. Take, for example, the story of Christ breathing life into a clay bird:

I have come to you, with a Sign from your Lord, in that I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah’s leave… [S. 3:49]

When the boy Jesus was five years old, he was playing in a narrow part of a rushing stream. He was gathering the flowing waters into ponds, and immediately they were made clean, and he ordered these things with a single word. And after he made clay, he molded twelve sparrows from it. And it was the Sabbath when he did these things. But there were also many other children playing with him. [Infant Gospel of Thomas, 2:1-3]

Now, when the Lord Jesus had completed seven years from His birth, on a certain day He was occupied with boys of His own age. For they were playing among clay, from which they were making images of asses, oxen, birds, and other animals; and each one boasting of his skill, was praising his own work. Then the Lord Jesus said to the boys: The images that I have made I will order to walk. The boys asked Him whether then he were the son of the Creator; and the Lord Jesus bade them walk. And they immediately began to leap; and then, when He had given them leave, they again stood still. And He had made figures of birds and sparrows, which flew when He told them to fly, and stood still when He told them to stand, and ate and drank when He handed them food and drink. [Arabic Gospel of the Infancy of the Savior, 36]

Also review the relief of the Virgin Mary

And the labour pains came upon her at the trunk of a palm tree, and she said, “O that I had died before this, and been forgotten out of mind!” and he called to her from beneath her “Grieve not, for thy Lord has placed a stream beneath thy feet, and shake towards thee the trunk of the palm tree, it will drop upon thee fresh dates fit to gather; so eat, and drink, and cheer thine eye…” [S. 19:23-26]

And it came to pass on the third day of their journey, while they were walking, that the blessed Mary was fatigued by the excessive heat of the sun in the desert; and seeing a palm tree, she said to Joseph: Let me rest a little under the shade of this tree. Joseph therefore made haste, and led her to the palm, and made her come down from her beast. And as the blessed Mary was sitting there, she looked up to the foliage of the palm, and saw it full of fruit, and said to Joseph: I wish it were possible to get some of the fruit of this palm. And Joseph said to her: I wonder that thou sayest this, when thou seest how high the palm tree is; and that thou thinkest of eating of its fruit. I am thinking more of the want of water, because the skins are now empty, and we have none wherewith to refresh ourselves and our cattle. Then the child Jesus, with a joyful countenance, reposing in the bosom of His mother, said to the palm: O tree, bend thy branches, and refresh my mother with thy fruit. And immediately at these words the palm bent its top down to the very feet of the blessed Mary; and they gathered from it fruit, with which they were all refreshed. And after they had gathered all its fruit, it remained bent down, waiting the order to rise from Him who bad commanded it to stoop. Then Jesus said to it: Raise thyself, O palm tree, and be strong, and be the companion of my trees, which are in the paradise of my Father; and open from thy roots a vein of water which has been hid in the earth, and let the waters flow, so that we may be satisfied from thee. And it rose up immediately, and at its root there began to come forth a spring of water exceedingly clear and cool and sparkling. And when they saw the spring of water, they rejoiced with great joy, and were satisfied, themselves and all their cattle and their beasts. Wherefore they gave thanks to God. [The Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew, 20]

The Muslim belief in a temporary hell that serves as a hospital rather than a prison is also similar to the heretical belief of apocatastasis, which was taught by men like Origen or (sadly) Gregory of Nyssa, and was condemned at the Fifth Ecumenical Council.
 
Surah 44 ad-Dukhaan
51. As to the Righteous (they will be) in a position of Security
52.** Among Gardens and Springs; **

Surah: 47. Muhammed (salla Allhu alaihi wa sallam)

15. (Here is) a Parable of the Garden which the righteous are promised: in it are rivers of water incorruptible: rivers of milk of which the taste never changes; rivers of wine a joy to those who drink; and rivers of honey pure and clear. In it there are for them all kinds of fruits and Grace from their Lord. (Can those in such Bliss) be compared to such as shall dwell for ever in the Fire and be given to drink boiling water so that it cuts up their bowels (to pieces)?

Surah 55 ar-Rahman
  1. But for such as fear the time when they will stand before (the Judgment Seat of) their Lord there will be **two Gardens **
  2. Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?
  3. Containing all kinds (of trees and delights)
  4. Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?
  5. **In them (each) will be two Springs flowing (free); **
  6. Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?
    52**. In them will be Fruits of every kind two and two**.
  7. Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?
  8. They will recline on Carpets whose inner linings will be of rich brocade: **the Fruit of the Gardens will be ranged for the hand to pick **
Surah 56 al-Waaqi`ah
  1. With goblets (shining) beakers and cups (filled) out of clear- flowing fountains:
  2. No after-ache will they receive therefrom nor will they suffer intoxication:
  3. And with fruits any that they may select;
    **32. And fruit in abundance
  4. Whose season is not limited nor (supply) forbidden**
Surah 69 al-Haaqqah

23**. The Fruits whereof (will hang in bunches) low and near. **24. “Eat ye and drink ye with full satisfaction; because of the (good) that ye sent before you in the days that are gone!”

Surah 76 al-Insaan
  1. As to the Righteous they shall drink of a Cup (of Wine) mixed with Kafur 6. A Fountain where the Devotees of Allah do drink making it flow in unstinted abundance

Surah 77 al-Mursalaat

41. **As to the righteous, they shall be amidst (cool) shades and springs (of water) **
**42. And (they shall have) fruits, -all they desire. **

Surah: 88. al-Ghaashiyah

**10. In a Garden on high
11. Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity:
12. Therein will be a bubbling spring: **

The Koran’s Heaven is plagiarized from a cycle of Christian hymns called “Hymns on Paradise” which were written by the 4th Century Christian Saint, St Ephrem the Syrian.
St Ephrem writing 300 years before Mohammad describes heaven as a garden full of tress under which the faithful recline and pick fruit ranged for the hand to pick. The inhabitants of heaven drink wine and like the Koran it says that those who don’t drink wine on earth will drink it in heaven. It talks about the exalted status of Martyrs and describes fountains and springs. Also rivers of wine, milk and honey. All exactly like the Koran.

The following are extracts prove conclusively that the Koran’s heaven is plagiarized from these Christian hymns.

Hymn II
“8. Who is capable of gazing upon the Gardens splendor, seeing how glorious it is in all its design, how harmonious in its proportions, how spacious for those who dwell there, how radiant with its abodes? Its** fountains delight with their fragrance”**

Hymn VI
“11. The diligent carry their own fruits and now run forward to meet Paradise as it exults with every sort of fruit. They enter that Garden with glorious deeds and it sees that the** fruits of the just surpass in their excellence the fruits of its own trees, and that the adornment of the victorious outrival its own. 12. Happy indeed is the person accounted worthy to behold in Paradise the glorious fruits of the trees**.”

Hymn VII
"3. Bear up, O life of mourning, so that you may attain to Paradise; its dew will wash off your squalor, while what it exudes will render you fragrant; its support will afford rest after your toil, its crown will give you comfort, **it will proffer you fruits in your hunger, fruits that purify those who partake of them; in your thirst it will provide for you a celestial draught, one that makes wise those who drink it. **

“18. **The man who abstained, with understanding, from wine, will the vines of paradise rush out to meet, all the more joyfully as each one stretches out and proffers him its clusters; or if any has lived a life of virginity, him too they welcome into their bosom, for the solitary such as has never lain in any bosom nor upon any bosom nor upon any marriage bed. **19. Those who have been crowned for our Lord’s sake with the martyr’s death by the sword shine out in glory there with their crowns
because their bodies despised the persecutors fire. Like stars they do blossom in Paradise.”
 
“26. And if none who is defiled enter that place allow me to live by its enclosure residing in the shade.”

Hymn IV

"3. Should you wish to climb up a tree, with its lower branches it will provide steps before your feet, eager to make you recline in its bosom above, on the couch of its upper branches. So arranged is the surface of these branches, bent low and cupped, while yet dense with flowers that they serve as a protective womb for whoever rests there 4. Who has ever beheld such a banquet in the very bosom of a tree, **with fruit of every savor ranged for the hand to pluck. **

Each type of fruit in due sequence approaches, each awaiting its turn: fruit to eat, and fruit to quench the thirst; to rinse the hands there is dew, and leaves to dry them with after- a treasure store which lacks nothing, whose Lord is rich in all things 5. Around the tree the air is limpid as the saints recline; below them are blossoms, above them are fruit; fruits serve as their sky, flowers as their earth. Who has ever heard of or seen a cloud of fruits providing shade for the head, or a garment of flowers spread out beneath the feet? 6. Such is the flowing brook of delights that, as one tree takes leave of you, the next one beckons to you; all of them rejoice that you should partake of the fruit of one and suck the juice of another, wash and cleanse yourself in the dew of yet a third; anoint yourself with the resin of one and breath another’s fragrance, listen to the song of still another. Blessed is he who gave joy to Adam!

Hymn X

"6. There the abundant flow of their produce is ceaseless for each bears its own fruit, its neighbor, flowers. There the spring of delights open up and flow with wine, milk, honey and cream.
  1. Each month’s fruits and flowers posses individually their own particular treasures, but when these are cross fertilized, they multiply; when two neighboring flowers, each with its distinctive colour are crossed to become one, they produce a new colour. **When fruits are thus crossed they create a new and beautiful offspring whose foliage is different **11. In Paradise the life cycle of trees resembles a necklance: when the fruits of the first are finished and plucked, then the second ones are ready, with a third species following them. Who has ever beheld autumnal fruits grasping the heels of the first fruits, just as jacob grasped hold of his brother’s heal?
Hymn XI

" 1. The air of Paradise is a fountain of delight from which Adam sucked when he was young; its very breath, like a mother’s breast, gave him nourishment in his childhood… 2. No harmful frost, no scorching heat is to be found in that blessed place of delight; it is a harbor of joys, a haven of pleasures; light and rejoicing have their home there; gathered there are to be found harps and lyres with shouts of Hosanna and the Church crying “Alleluia”.

11 What need was there from that land a river should flow forth and divide itself except that the blessings of Paradise should be mingled by the means of water as it issues forth to irrigate the world, making clean its fountains12.** Thus but us with another spring, full of perfumes** which issue from Eden and penetrates into the atmosphere as a beneficial breeze by which our souls are stirred; our inhalation is healed by this healing breath from Paradise;

Hymn XV

“All this and similar things that I have read in the scriptures, have helped depict in my mind that Garden of Life; blessed is the person who is worthy to attain its enjoyment. May the Merciful One bring me to** its fruits**,may their taste give me life, or their scent strike me, or the radiance reach me or the dew bathe me!”

It is clear that the Koran’s heaven was directly plagiaries From the “Hymns On Paradise”. Some scholars have even suggested that the verse about those who remained virgins being welcomed into the (bosoms of women) is believed to be the origin of the Islamic houries/virgins in paradise. This is all that the Islamic heaven is, one 4th century Saint’s depiction of heaven and thus it become unbelievable since this saint never once claimed to have this divinely revealed to him. his hymns were nothing more than poetry and not deemed authoritative in any way by him.

** 4 The Companions of the Cave:**

In the Koran there is a tale called the companions of the cave about some youths who hide in a cave and sleep for hundreds of years

Surah Al-Kahf
  1. Or dost thou reflect that the Companions of the Cave and of the Inscription were wonders among Our Sign? 10. When the youths took refuge in the Cave saying, 'Our lord, give us mercy from Thee, and furnish us with rectitude in our affair. 11. Then We draw (a veil) over their ears, for a number of years, in the Cave, (so that they heard not); 12. Then We roused them, in order to test which of the two parties was best at calculating the term of years they had tarried! 13. We will relate to thee their tidings truly. They were youths who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance. 14. And We strengthened their hearts, **when they stood up and said, 'Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and earth; we will not call upon any god, apart from Him, or then we had spoken outrage.**15. These our people have taken to them other gods, apart from Him. Ah, if only they would bring some clear authority regarding them! But who does greater evil than he who forges against 16. “When ye turn away from them and the things they worship other than Allah, betake yourselves to the Cave: Your Lord will shower His mercies on you and disposes of your affair towards comfort and ease.”
 
  1. Thou wouldst have seen the sun, when it rose, declining to the right from their Cave, and when it set, turning away from them to the left, while they lay in the open space in the midst of the Cave. Such are among the Signs of Allah. He whom Allah, guides is rightly guided; but he whom Allah leaves to stray,- for him wilt thou find no protector to lead him to the Right Way.18.Thou wouldst have thought them awake, as they lay sleeping, while We turned them ‘now to the right, now to the left,’ and their dog ‘stretching its paws on the threshold’. Hadst thou observed them surely thou wouldst have turned thy back on them in flight, and been filled with terror of them. 19. Such being their state, we raised them up (from sleep), that they might question each other. Said one of them, “How long have ye stayed (here)?” They said, “We have stayed perhaps a day, or part of a day.” At length they all said, “Allah alone knows best how long ye have stayed here… Now send ye then one of you with this money of yours to the town: let him find out which is the best food to be had and bring some to you****that ye may satisfy your hunger therewith: And let him behave with care and courtesy, and let him not inform any one about you. 20. "For if they should come upon you, they would stone you or force you to return to their cult, and in that case ye would never attain prosperity.” 21. And even so We made them stumble upon some people, that they might know that God’s promise is true, and that the Hour (day of judgment) – there is no doubt of it. When they were contending among themselves of their affair then they said, ‘Build over them a building; their Lord knows of them very well.’ Said those who prevailed over their affair, ‘We will raise over them a place of worship.’ 22. Some say they were three, the dog being the fourth among them; others say they were five, the dog being the sixth,- doubtfully guessing at the unknown; yet others say they were seven, the dog being the eighth. Say thou: “My Lord knoweth best their number; It is but few that know their real case.” Enter not, therefore, into controversies concerning them, except on a matter that is clear, nor consult any of them about the affair of the Sleepers. 23. Nor say of anything, “I shall be sure to do so and so tomorrow”- 24. Without adding, “So please Allah.” and call thy Lord to mind when thou forgettest, and say, “I hope that my Lord will guide me ever closer even than this to the right road.” 25. So they stayed in their Cave three hundred years, and some add nine more. 26. Say: "Allah knows best how long they stayed.
This entire tale was plagiarized from a Christian myth called the 7 sleepers of Ephesus first Recorded by Jacob of Suarag in the 5th century in Syriac and then translated into Latin by in the 6th century Gregory of Tours in his work “The Glory of the Martyrs” of which the following is an extract

Here is an account of seven brothers who are buried at Ephesus. During the reign of the Emperor Decius (249- 251 AD) , when there was a persecution against the Christians, seven men were captured and brought before the Emperor. These seven men were named Maximianus, Malchus, Martinianus, Constantinus, Dionysius, Johannes and Serapion. Although they were tempted by various suggestions to yield, they never acquiesced. Because of his regard for them, the Emperor granted them time to think, so that they would not die immediately. But the seven men shut themselves up in one cave, and they lived for many days. One of them would leave, purchase supplies, and bring back necessities.** When the Emperor returned to Ephesus , the seven men requested of the Lord that he design to rescue them from this danger. They prayed, and while bowed to the ground they fell asleep. When the Emperor learned that they were staying in this cave, by the will of god he ordered that the mouth of the cave be blocked off with huge stones. He said “Let those who refuse to sacrifice to our gods die there”** While this was being done, a Christian wrote the names of the martyrs on a lead tablet and secretly put it in the entrance of to the cave before it was blocked off. After many years had gone by and peace had been granted to the Churches, Theodosius II (408-450), a Christian became Emperor. **The impure heresy of the Sadducees, who denied that there would be a resurrection, was spreading. **Then a citizen of Ephesus who decided to use this mountain as a sheepfold for his flocks overturned stones for the construction of walls for his pens. Not knowing what happened within, he opened the entrance to the cave; but did not find the inner chamber that was further inside. **The Lord sent the breath of life to the seven men and they awoke. Thinking that they had been asleep for only one night, **they sent a young man from their number to purchase food. When the young man came to the gate of the city, he was surprised upon seeing an image of the glorious cross and hearing the people take oaths in the name of Christ. As soon as he presented the coins he had from the reign of Decius, a merchant seized him and said: “You have found a hoard that was buried years ago.” The young man denied the accusation and was brought to the bishop and judge of the city who denounced him. Compelled by force the young man revealed a hidden mystery and brought them to the cave where the other men were. As the bishop entered he found a lead tablet on which everything had been recoded in writing. the bishop spoke with the men; then the bishop and the judge quickly announced the news to the Emperor Theodosius.
 
The emperor came and they honored him by kneeling on the ground. The seven men spoke to the Emperor with these words: " A heresy has spread, glorious Augustus, that attempts to mislead Christian people from the promises of God by saying that there is no resurrection of the dead. Therefore because as you know we will all beheld responsible before the tribunal of Christ in accordance with what the apostle Paul wrote (II Corintians 5:10), the lord has ordered us to awake and say these things to you. Take care lest you be seduced and excluded from the kingdom." The Emperor Theodosius listened and glorified the lord who did not allow his people to perish. But the men again lay down and fell asleep …Even today the men lie asleep in that spot, covered by cloaks made of silk or linen. The record of their suffering which with the assistance of a Syrian I translated into Latin gives a fuller account.

It is clear that Mohammad plagiarized The Companions of the cave from the earlier Christian tale, the 7 sleepers of Ephesus which is exactly the same but Mohammad changed it from being about Christians persecuted by the Romans for not following their gods to being about Muslims persecuted for not following pagan gods. From the Islamic perspective this tale makes no sense as the men came back to warn Theodosius II a Christian emperor of a heretical danger to Christianity which denied the day of resurrection but this is the very same religion that Mohammad would later denounce.So why Allah would want to protect it? this makes no sense so this is obviously why Mohammad removed it from its Christian context. The Incredibility of this tale is furthered by having the sleepers from the original tale quoting St Paul, who Muslims consider a false prophet. There is no way that the original tale fits with Islamic theology in any sense and as I have proven Mohammad twisted it to suit his own ends.

**To Conclude: **

It is clear that Mohammad plagiarized many beliefs, teachings, doctrines and stories from Christianity. I have proven so conclusively and Muslims cant deny this irrefutable evidence. Muslims claim that the bible was a previous revelation which got corrupted so this is why there are similarities. but this argument is unsubstantiated and is nothing more that Islamic retrospective mythmaking used to hide Islam’s blatant plagiarism under the guise of Islamic pre-existence. Muslims have no credible explanation for how so many things from other Christian texts entered into the Koran. So I am left to conclude that the Koran is indeed plagiarized and not divinely revealed to Mohammad by Allah. Christian hymns which Mohammad plagiarized his heaven from were not a divine revelation but pieces of poetry inspired by A saint Interpretation of Genesis. The 7 sleepers of Ephesus in its original form does not in anyway fit with Islamic theology. Muslims will say that this is because it was corrupted and the Koran came to correct it. But the Koran was sent to confirm what came before and if this text is corrupted prove it with some manuscripts. The Koran’s Reliance on various spurious Christian apocryphal writing further expose its plagiarized origins and reveal its unreliability.

Thankyou for your time.I hope both the Muslim and Christian posters of CAF have found this thread informative. if you want verification of everything I mentioned I suggest you search out all these texts and examine them for yourselves. Make up your own mind. Thanks!

Also important to note are the similarities between beliefs in the Koran and heretical beliefs. Take, for example, the story of Christ breathing life into a clay bird:

I have come to you, with a Sign from your Lord, in that I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah’s leave… [S. 3:49]

When the boy Jesus was five years old, he was playing in a narrow part of a rushing stream. He was gathering the flowing waters into ponds, and immediately they were made clean, and he ordered these things with a single word. And after he made clay, he molded twelve sparrows from it. And it was the Sabbath when he did these things. But there were also many other children playing with him. [Infant Gospel of Thomas, 2:1-3]

Now, when the Lord Jesus had completed seven years from His birth, on a certain day He was occupied with boys of His own age. For they were playing among clay, from which they were making images of asses, oxen, birds, and other animals; and each one boasting of his skill, was praising his own work. Then the Lord Jesus said to the boys: The images that I have made I will order to walk. The boys asked Him whether then he were the son of the Creator; and the Lord Jesus bade them walk. And they immediately began to leap; and then, when He had given them leave, they again stood still. And He had made figures of birds and sparrows, which flew when He told them to fly, and stood still when He told them to stand, and ate and drank when He handed them food and drink. [Arabic Gospel of the Infancy of the Savior, 36]

Also review the relief of the Virgin Mary

And the labour pains came upon her at the trunk of a palm tree, and she said, “O that I had died before this, and been forgotten out of mind!” and he called to her from beneath her “Grieve not, for thy Lord has placed a stream beneath thy feet, and shake towards thee the trunk of the palm tree, it will drop upon thee fresh dates fit to gather; so eat, and drink, and cheer thine eye…” [S. 19:23-26]

And it came to pass on the third day of their journey, while they were walking, that the blessed Mary was fatigued by the excessive heat of the sun in the desert; and seeing a palm tree, she said to Joseph: Let me rest a little under the shade of this tree. Joseph therefore made haste, and led her to the palm, and made her come down from her beast. And as the blessed Mary was sitting there, she looked up to the foliage of the palm, and saw it full of fruit, and said to Joseph: I wish it were possible to get some of the fruit of this palm. And Joseph said to her: I wonder that thou sayest this, when thou seest how high the palm tree is; and that thou thinkest of eating of its fruit. I am thinking more of the want of water, because the skins are now empty, and we have none wherewith to refresh ourselves and our cattle. Then the child Jesus, with a joyful countenance, reposing in the bosom of His mother, said to the palm: O tree, bend thy branches, and refresh my mother with thy fruit. And immediately at these words the palm bent its top down to the very feet of the blessed Mary; and they gathered from it fruit, with which they were all refreshed. And after they had gathered all its fruit, it remained bent down, waiting the order to rise from Him who bad commanded it to stoop. Then Jesus said to it: Raise thyself, O palm tree, and be strong, and be the companion of my trees, which are in the paradise of my Father; and open from thy roots a vein of water which has been hid in the earth, and let the waters flow, so that we may be satisfied from thee. And it rose up immediately, and at its root there began to come forth a spring of water exceedingly clear and cool and sparkling. And when they saw the spring of water, they rejoiced with great joy, and were satisfied, themselves and all their cattle and their beasts. Wherefore they gave thanks to God. [The Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew, 20]

The Muslim belief in a temporary hell that serves as a hospital rather than a prison is also similar to the heretical belief of apocatastasis, which was taught by men like Origen or (sadly) Gregory of Nyssa, and was condemned at the Fifth Ecumenical Council.

Hi byzentine wolf

I have already covered those apocryphal sources of the Koran. i suggest you read the rest of my article where i expose Islam for what it really is. its a fact that Islam is a Christian heresy. it plagiarized so much to such an extent I cannot believe otherwise.

its a fact that Christianity is a Judaism heresy. it plagiarized so much to such an extent I cannot believe otherwise.

if we Muslims believe that our God is different than Jews and Christians God …then yes this is a major problem…but no ,it has no effect since our God and your God is the same one God

Nope! Christianity is a Jewish religion. Jesus was a Jew, all the early disciples were Jews and most of the New Testament writers were Jews. Chrisitanity cant plagiarize Judaism because it is a Jewish religion. Its not the same as Islam and Christianity. Islam emerged outside Christianity but it still had many Christian influences as I have proven conclusively. I have systematically exposed the blatant plagiarism of the Koran now try and formulate a response to it.
 
You can believe what you want but you cant prove that Allah sent any of these texts because the Koran only talks about the injil. Ask yourself how did a Christian saint’s idea of heaven get into the Koran? Was he a Muslim prophet too? Can I trust a book which plagiarizes its concept of heaven from some hymns who the author himself never claimed to be divinely revealed or to have any authority. If even your heaven is plagiarized how can I take it seriously?

Anybody can plagiarize some tales from a holy book and then claim that that original holy book is corrupted and that their version is the correct one but this is not proof this is far from it. Bring so proof that this isn’t plagiarism. Quote one instance when St Ephrem is named in the Quran and prove he was a follower of Allah. I don’t think your god is the same as our god and simply saying well we all follow the same god hasn’t helped you to refute my cast-iron evidence.

Than why believe in Jesus? Christians consider Him the Messiah. Jews do not. You just shot yourself in the foot, Hadi.

Why is Islam getting so much attention here?

Becuase Muslims, such as Paar, like to come onto CAF and attempt to show Christians they are wrong about their beliefs. Just like Ben Masada tries to show Christians they are wrong about their beliefs.

hadi shot himself in the foot big time. I have proven that vast swathes of the Koran was plagiarized from the Gospels, from the NT Apocrypha, From St Ephrem’s hymns and from a Christian myth called the 7 sleepers of Ephesus. He has been able to offer no response so far other than saying it all came form the same god which is a logical fallacy as he automatically pre-supposes Christians and Muslims follow the same god without proving it.

According to the Jews, Christians is Judaism heresy. According to Jesus, Judaism in Jesus’ time is a heresy to Moses’ Judaism, with so many Miznah and Talbuts which make the away from the intended law of God.
