It’s over 20 years since Salman Rushdie published The Satanic Verses. Muslims around the world were outraged by his publication, followed by the usual violence and threats against anybody who supported the Novelist. Rushdie’s life is still a threat and the fatwa issued by the Ayatollahs on his life remains. This brief article seeks to provide some background information on the issue involved, as most Muslims never really knew what the issue was in the The Satanic Verses. For most, it was just a case of blindly following the Mullahs.
Islam strongly opposes idolatry, polytheism, associating anything or anyone with God. It contrasts sharply with the contention of Muhammad's Arab contemporaries that God had associates. Some of these associates are even mentioned in the Qur'an, among them three female deities: al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat. They were even considered to be daughters of God!
The Qur'an, as it now reads, obviously rejects these deities. But, and here comes the issue, did the Qur'an and Muhammad always reject them?
While Muhammad was in Mecca, he longed for better relations and reconciliation with his community. Thereafter, God revealed Surah 53 (An-Najm), to Muhammad up to and including verses 19 & 20. These two verses read:
Have you then considered Al-Lât, and Al-'Uzza (two idols of the pagan Arabs) (53:19)
And Manât (another idol of the pagan Arabs), the other third? (53:20)
Then, originally, the verses (known today as the satanic verses) followed:
These are the exalted cranes (intermediaries) Whose intercession is to be hoped for.
The cranes whose intercession was recognized were, of course, the three deities. After this revelation was completed, Muhammad, his followers and the pagan Arabs all prostrated. Tensions eased, reconciliation was at hand, and all were delighted.
But Muhammad soon retracted the reconciliation—how soon is not clear. For the account continues that Jibril (Gabriel), the angel of revelation, informed Muhammad that Satan had used Muhammad's desire for reconciliation with the pagan leaders to insert into the revelation of God the verses about the interceding cranes, otherwise called "the satanic verses". The verses which follow, not the satanic verses, serve as the proper sequence to 53:19,and 53:20 (above):
Is it for you the males and for Him the females? (53:21)
That indeed is a division most unfair! (53:22)
In other words: When you Arabs have sons (whom you prefer to daughters!), how unfair of you to say that God has daughters! The idea of a plurality of gods or goddesses or sons or daughters of God is ridiculous. God alone is God. The three goddesses are false.
Two other passages from the Qur'an are considered to have reference to the compromise between Muhammad and the Arabs, and Muhammad's eventual rejection of it. The first reads:
Verily, they were about to tempt you away from that which We have revealed (the Qur'ân) unto you (O Muhammad SAW), to fabricate something other than it against Us, and then they would certainly have taken you a friend! (17:73)
And had We not made you stand firm, you would nearly have inclined to them a little. (17:74)
In that case, We would have made you taste a double portion (of punishment) in this life and a double portion (of punishment) after death. And then you would have found none to help you against Us. (17:75)
The second passage is intended to comfort Muhammad:
Never did We send a Messenger or a Prophet before you, but; when he did recite the revelation or narrated or spoke, Shaitân (Satan) threw (some falsehood) in it. But Allâh abolishes that which Shaitân (Satan) throws in. Then Allâh establishes His Revelations. And Allâh is All-Knower, All-Wise: (22:52)
That He (Allâh) may make what is thrown in by Shaitân (Satan) a trial for those in whose hearts is a disease (of hypocrisy and disbelief) and whose hearts are hardened. And certainly, the Zalimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.) are in an opposition far-off (from the truth against Allâh's Messenger and the believers). (22:53)
On the basis of these verses especially, the contemporary designation "The Satanic Verses" arises.
From these verses, it is clear that Rushdie did not invent the satanic verses. Moreover, it would seem that Muslims of earlier generations were content to accept that satanic verses could somehow be insinuated into a prophet's message from God, even into the Qur'an, that God could abolish the satanic verses, and that, as the following passage suggests, God could replace even a verse of His own revelation with a similar or better verse of His own:
Such of Our revelations as We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring (in place) one better or the like thereof. Knowest thou not that Allah is Able to do all things? (2:106 cf. 16:101)
In fact, Islamic theologians of earlier ages carefully sorted out which Quranic passages were abrogating and which were abrogated.
Today, many Muslims deny that God could abrogate or change His Word in any way or form. Ironically, they sometimes interpret Qur'an 2:106 (above) to mean that the Qur'an has abrogated the previous Scriptures of Moses and Jesus—despite the fact that the Qur'an clearly attests that these Scriptures also are the Word of God and therefore, presumably, unchangeable! How much more odious, then, to suggest that at least for a period of time, satanic verses actually formed a part of the Qur'an! For many Muslims it is simply inconceivable that Muhammad, even under the severest pressures, would (perhaps even could) compromise with his Meccan enemies, and still more that Satan somehow could "whisper" his thoughts into the substance of God's holy Word, the Qur'an. That is why even the idea of satanic verses in the Qur'an shocks some Muslims.
The satanic verses and the circumstances surrounding their revelation stems from the reputable Muslim accounts of at-Tabari and Ibn Sa’d. Muslims today who simply dismiss the account of these writers as fabricated and unhistorical must at least answer the question why such reputable persons would report it.
Below is the full Surah (An-Najm), using the Noble Quran Translation, with the Satanic Verses included for your analysis of the Surah.
Surah An-Najm (The Star) with the Satanic Verses.
1. By the star when it goes down, (or vanishes).
2. Your companion (Muhammad SAW) has neither gone astray nor has erred.
3. Nor does he speak of (his own) desire.
4. It is only an Inspiration that is inspired.
5. He has been taught (this Qur'ân) by one mighty in power [Jibrael (Gabriel)].
6. Dhu Mirrah (free from any defect in body and mind), Fastawa [then he (Jibrael Gabriel) rose and became stable]. [Tafsir At-Tabarî].
7. While he [Jibrael (Gabriel)] was in the highest part of the horizon,
8. Then he [Jibrael (Gabriel)] approached and came closer,
9. And was at a distance of two bows' length or (even) nearer,
10. So did (Allâh) convey the Inspiration to His slave [Muhammad SAW through Jibrael (Gabriel)].
11. The (Prophet's) heart lied not (in seeing) what he (Muhammad SAW) saw.
12. Will you then dispute with him (Muhammad SAW) about what he saw [during the Mi'râj: (Ascent of the Prophet SAW over the seven heavens)].
13. And indeed he (Muhammad SAW) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)] at a second descent (i.e. another time).
14. Near Sidrat-ul-Muntaha [lote-tree of the utmost boundary (beyond which none can pass)],
15. Near it is the Paradise of Abode.
16. When that covered the lote-tree which did cover it!
17. The sight (of Prophet Muhammad SAW) turned not aside (right or left), nor it transgressed beyond (the) limit (ordained for it).
18. Indeed he (Muhammad SAW) did see, of the Greatest Signs, of his Lord (Allâh).
19. Have you then considered Al-Lât, and Al-'Uzza (two idols of the pagan Arabs)
20. And Manât (another idol of the pagan Arabs), the other third?
21. These are the exalted cranes (intermediaries) was replaced by,
21. Is it for you the males and for Him the females?
22. Whose intercession is to be hoped for. was replaced by,
22. That indeed is a division most unfair!
23. They are but names which you have named, you and your fathers, for which Allâh has sent down no authority. They follow but a guess and that which they themselves desire, whereas there has surely come to them the Guidance from their Lord!
24. Or shall man have what he wishes?
25. But to Allâh belongs the last (Hereafter) and the first (the world).
26. And there are many angels in the heavens, whose intercession will avail nothing except after Allâh has given leave for whom He wills and pleases.
27. Verily, those who believe not in the Hereafter, name the angels with female names.
28. While they have no knowledge thereof. They follow but a guess, and verily, guess is no substitute for the truth.
29. Therefore withdraw (O Muhammad SAW) from him who turns away from Our Reminder (this Qur'ân) and desires nothing but the life of this world.
30. That is what they could reach of knowledge. Verily, your Lord it is He Who knows best him who goes astray from His Path, and He knows best him who receives guidance.
31. And to Allâh belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, that He may requite those who do evil with that which they have done (i.e. punish them in Hell), and reward those who do good, with what is best (i.e. Paradise).
32. Those who avoid great sins (see the Qur'ân, Verses: 6:152,153) and Al-Fawâhish (illegal sexual intercourse, etc.) except the small faults, verily, your Lord is of vast forgiveness. He knows you well when He created you from the earth (Adam), and when you were fetuses in your mothers' wombs. So ascribe not purity to yourselves. He knows best him who fears Allâh and keep his duty to Him [i.e. those who are Al-Muttaqûn (pious - see V.2:2)].
33. Did you (O Muhammad SAW) observe him who turned away (from Islâm).
34. And gave a little, then stopped (giving)?
35. Is with him the knowledge of the unseen so that he sees?
36. Or is he not informed with what is in the Pages (Scripture) of Mûsa (Moses),
37. And of Ibrâhim (Abraham) who fulfilled (or conveyed) all that (what Allâh ordered him to do or convey),
38. That no burdened person (with sins) shall bear the burden (sins) of another,T>
39. And that man can have nothing but what he does (good or bad),
40. And that his deeds will be seen,
41. Then he will be recompensed with a full and the best recompense
42. And that to your Lord (Allâh) is the End (Return of everything).
43. And that it is He (Allâh) Who makes (whom He wills) laugh, and makes (whom He wills) weep;
44. And that it is He (Allâh) Who causes death and gives life;
45. And that He (Allâh) creates the pairs, male and female,
46. From Nutfah (drops of semen male and female discharges) when it is emitted;
47. And that upon Him (Allâh) is another bringing forth (Resurrection);
48. And that it is He (Allâh) Who gives much or a little (or gives wealth and contentment),
49. And that He (Allâh) is the Lord of Sirius (the star which the pagan Arabs used to worship);
50. And that it is He (Allâh) Who destroyed the former 'Ad (people),
51. And Thamûd (people). He spared none of them.
52. And the people of Nûh (Noah) aforetime, verily, they were more unjust and more rebellious and transgressing [in disobeying Allâh and His Messenger Nûh (Noah)].
53. And He destroyed the overthrown cities [of Sodom to which Prophet Lout (Lot) was sent].
54. So there covered them that which did cover (i.e. torment with stones).
55. Then which of the Graces of your Lord (O man!) will you doubt.
56. This (Muhammad SAW) is a warner (Messenger) of the (series of) warners (Messengers) of old.
57. The Day of Resurrection draws near,
58. None besides Allâh can avert it, (or advance it, or delay it).
59. Do you then wonder at this recital (the Qur'ân)?
60. And you laugh at it and weep not,
61. Wasting your (precious) lifetime in pastime and amusements (singing, etc.).
62. So fall you down in prostration to Allâh, and worship Him (Alone).

20 years since Salman Rushdie
20 years since Salman Rushdie published the Satanic Verses? Seriously? Wow, time really does fly by doesn't it.
This article effectively points out the fact that sick little Muhammad made up Islam on the fly and had a hard time keeping his story straight. Another reason why the little nut-case had to kill so many people.
Islam is just plain ridiculous now to anybody with half a brain and a shred of self-honesty.
Here is a comment about a
Here is a comment about a thought that crossed my mind earlier today:
Isn't it bazarre that Muslims believe practiceing Islam and all that this entails to be their great success in life when in reality they are completely wasteing their lives going in the wrong direction and doing great harm to humanity and their societies? Truly ironic.
It is so odd to see this non-sence still going down in 2000 and 9. Islam is a testament to the power of a cult headed by a highly insane leader who knew how to use fear to tap into mans worse fears and play upon his selfish desires.

Excellent article.
There are deleted verses in the Quran but what about the missing verses that were eaten by a goat? Here is the missing verses.
Oh mighty and merciful Allah, you are my lover who visits me every night ( and sometimes during the day ) to instruct me in your word. After you are done instructing me I lay my head on your chest and you caress my hair, kiss my head, and say loving and tender things to me. Even though I have many wives I have never loved them the way I love you. My heart fills up with passion and desire when I see you. When I am not with you the days are long, dreadful, and I long for you Allah my lover the greatest lover of all. Nothing can compare to you oh Allah my lover and I long for the day when I will be united with you up in al-janna. Oh Allah my lover you are the greatest of them all.

JAH is from pakistan, a mediocre guy who some how graduated and have decent internet knowledge and following are his beliefs:
1. All problems in the world including his bowl problem is zionist-american-christian-hindu conspiracy.
2. Every one in this world is muslim, just because of dajjal enemy of Allah they are pretending.
3. No muslim is terrorist they just play game called 'suicide-suicide'.
4. No need to study anything as everything from toothpaste making to jet making is written in quran. By the way is Mr Mo used to brush? or shave? or bath?
5. All apostates are not former muslims.
6. Circumscion is the greatest gift and unfortunately Mr Mo forgot to tell allah to produce circumscised kids.
7. Women in burga look good.
8. Best virtue is steel, then rape.
9. Best time was 7th century and unnecessarily people are in 21st century and all should go to that time, just sleep, loot, sex and enjoy....
10. Men with big beard looks good.

Great comment Pathfinder. We all know that Islam means peace, love and justice. Right?
Out of fear Muslims desperately cling to something that is not real. This does not necessarily mean that they are weak. It means that they have been deceived.

I am no 'Islamic scholar' but i am an ex-Muslim who has been around the block a time or two, and since i have already made a few comments today i thought i'd add one more.
Yeah this site is very interesting indeed. Many folks have had the their eyes and minds opened by the basic truths about Islam explained on this site. If you are unfamiliar with the work of Dr.Ali Sina and the many writers who contribute to this site you may want to stick around and enlighten yourself about these matters. By-the-way I am a Canadian ex-Muslim and my website is located at http://www.considerationsofacanadianex-muslim.org
Peace and have a good evening brother.
----the contention of
----the contention of Muhammad’s Arab contemporaries that God had associates. Some of these associates are even mentioned in the Qur’an, among them three female deities: al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat. They were even considered to be daughters of God!=====
It is really interesting to know Allah Dalla had/has some offspring , which may mean the pimp god must be having wife/wives of some kind some where??( most probably wives as Islam believes in polygamy ) Muslims should be thankful to Allah Dallah for producing at least three daughters . Which proves the pimp God is not an Eunuch as believed by the Infidels. Ha Ha Ha Ha
Can any one shed some light on the pimp god Allah's family and his family tree? Feel free to quote from Qu'rand and Hadith also.
mozzies blame everything on
mozzies blame everything on Americans,Israelis,Christians,Hindus ,Buddhist , even for their indigestion after eating infidel food..ha ha ha...
the stupidity of mozzies is destroying the world-physically,mentally and spirtiually....
Peace to the world.....
The satanic verses, eh? Now
The satanic verses, eh?
Now people, think carefully, think very carefully indeed. Satanic verses. What does it really tell us? Lets all be honest with ourselves, because everyone here is here for enlightenment, yeah? Ponder on the following:
Why would a person who is long proclaiming the oneness of God introduce these verses in the Quran?
After having introduced the verses why would he then have them removed after seeing all the meccans supposedly accept his message?
And if he was able to decipher that these verses were satanic, then why is he not able to decipher what is from God and what is other than from God?
If this man was a fraud and power hungry why did he compromise his newly found acceptance and upset the Meccans so much that he even retracted the verses after the meccans had delightedly listened to them previously, causing fury among the non muslim arabs? Did he not accomplish his power by giving the meccans the precise words they wanted to hear? Why did he risk or clearly lose his power after having found it?
Was he power hungry or God hungry?
Was he a fraud or completely honest and frank?
Was he imagining Gabriel and the revelations for over 23 years in the midst of the most suspicious and circumspect of people in the region? Did he fool them for 23 long years whilst living in their midst? Would a person today be able to fool you like that for 23 years today?
Was he mentally deranged (not a new accusation actually) or was it so simply too difficult for his contemporaries to explain this new phenomenal revelation and religion that they resorted to calling him mad? easy way out, dont you think (to simply call someone mental because you cant explain the situation any other way).
Just think, and hopefully, your thinking shall set you free.
Do not close your minds
Do not close your minds simply because you are unable to understand or explain something.

Because after deciding he fooled the pagans into converting to his ideology, Muhammed decided he did not need those verses.
And if he was able to decipher that these verses were satanic, then why is he not able to decipher what is from God and what is other than from God?
That's because Muhammed is not a prophet of God, he is a fraud!

Because his ego was so big he thought he could fool anyone.
Was he power hungry or God hungry?
Mo was a power hungry narcissist
Was he a fraud or completely honest and frank?
Muhammed was a fraud who gained a lot of wealth

Muhammed was a sick genocidal maniac and warlord.

Marie good points. Mo thought he coulkd fool ghe Jews and Christians and when he faILED he got mad. The Jews laughed at him and then he decided to wipe out Medina(Yathrib) of ll Jews and tribes who refused to accept him as their prophet. This was when he stole Jewish laws and no pig, how to dress, pray 50 times, He made up Pharaoh being a Muslim sura 10:90 and claimed Moses was A Muslim and all of the prophets. I bet they didnt know. LOL
Marie. You have simply made
Marie.
You have simply made unsubstantiated and uncorroborated statements which are contradictory.
Either Muhammad wanted to appease the Meccans by introducing the satanic verses or he had too much of a big ego to even introduce the satanic verses in the first place. You cant have it both ways darling! which one is it?

to Mr. Kabirlaw,
There is a way out of this Satanic Verses polemic. All you have to do is rejecting the Siraah that narrated this event and possbily launch a thorough major discard of most Hadith, then becoming the Quran-only Muslim. This may resolve part of the problem while creating another controversy with other Sunnah-following Muslims.
Mr Kabirlaw, the Satanic Verses issue had been a thorn to Islamic religion because Prophet Muhammad failed to differentiate between God's Revelation and Satanic Whisper that induced him to offer those two verses as Quranic. If we combine this story with the story of Abdullah Bin Abi Sarh's apostacy, we will obtain a clear and definite picture of this man's fake claim of prophethood.
To add to this injury, when Prophet Muhammad 'revealed' these verses, the tension and conflict between him and the Unbeliever Meccan resolved quickly.Some immigrant Muslims in Ethiopia decided to return to Mecca. BUT, this far sighted man could smell the fish from afar, he had to compromise Monotheism that he hold onto firmly only to replace it with another form of Polytheism. This will not benefited him in the long run. All these talk about strict Monotheism from his earlier preaching was in vain? There was a sole way out, blame the Satan and claim that the two verses were Satanic. But Prophet Muhammad still consider himself as the intercessor during the Day of Judgment. Putting himself to such position was a better decision than giving credit to Al- Laat and Al- Uzza.
Mr Kabirlaw, this guy obviously was an impostor. You only have to do an unprejudiced and unbiased research on him to determine it.
Humanity is but one family. :)
Hi kabirlaw; We know all
Hi kabirlaw;
We know all about Pedo. Mo. How about telling us about your Allah Dalla, the pimp God of Islam: who has three daughters according to Islamic Satanic verses. I am sure being a Muslim xxx , you can't tolerate your Pimp God having daughters instead of sons !!! What a pity, your pedo. prophet had to confirm the above fact. Well may be the Pedo. Mo. was after one of the three daughters of Allah dallah??
Ha ha ha Ha
Now tell us if those daughters of Allah the pimp were virgins or were sluts ??
During the time of Pedo. Mo. how old were the daughters of Allah Dallah??
I mean if they were less then six years old to be raped by pedo. Mo. ?Etc. Etc. He He
Let's discuss about Allah Dallah the pimp God of Islam and his family. Ha ha Ha ha
Hi Kabiraa; don't tuck your Islamic tail like Jerk off zakir Naik. Baby------
AOOOZ, abstain from making personal attacks on others as this goes against FFI policy and no one is exempt from this rule. Thank you.
I love the Satanic Verses:-)

HERE IS THE PROPER
HERE IS THE PROPER SURA:-
An-Najm
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the Star when it setteth, (1) Your comrade erreth not, nor is deceived; (2) Nor doth he speak of (his own) desire. (3) It is naught save an inspiration that is inspired, (4) Which one of mighty powers hath taught him, (5) One vigorous; and he grew clear to view (6) When he was on the uppermost horizon. (7) Then he drew nigh and came down (8) Till he was (distant) two bows' length or even nearer, (9) And He revealed unto His slave that which He revealed. (10) The heart lied not (in seeing) what it saw. (11) Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he seeth? (12) And verily he saw him yet another time (13) By the lote-tree of the utmost boundary, (14) Nigh unto which is the Garden of Abode. (15) When that which shroudeth did enshroud the lote-tree, (16) The eye turned not aside nor yet was overbold. (17) Verily he saw one of the greater revelations of his Lord. (18) Have ye thought upon Al-Lat and Al-'Uzza (19) And Manat, the third, the other? (20) Are yours the males and His the females? (21) That indeed were an unfair division! (22) They are but names which ye have named, ye and your fathers, for which Allah hath revealed no warrant. They follow but a guess and that which (they) themselves desire. And now the guidance from their Lord hath come unto them. (23) Or shall man have what he coveteth? (24) But unto Allah belongeth the after (life), and the former. (25) And how many angels are in the heavens whose intercession availeth naught save after Allah giveth leave to whom He chooseth and accepteth. (26) Lo! it is those who disbelieve in the Hereafter who name the angels with the names of females. (27) And they have no knowledge thereof. They follow but a guess, and lo! a guess can never take the place of the truth. (28) Then withdraw (O Muhammad) from him who fleeth from Our remembrance and desireth but the life of the world. (29) Such is their sum of knowledge. Lo! thy Lord is best aware of him who strayeth, and He is best aware of him whom goeth right. (30) And unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, that He may reward those who do evil with that which they have done, and reward those who do good with goodness. (31) Those who avoid enormities of sin and abominations, save the unwilled offences - (for them) lo! thy Lord is of vast mercy. He is best aware of you (from the time) when He created you from the earth, and when ye were hidden in the bellies of your mothers. Therefor ascribe not purity unto yourselves. He is best aware of him who wardeth off (evil). (32) Didst thou (O Muhammad) observe him who turned away, (33) And gave a little, then was grudging? (34) Hath he knowledge of the Unseen so that he seeth? (35) Or hath he not had news of what is in the books of Moses (36) And Abraham who paid his debt: (37) That no laden one shall bear another's load, (38) And that man hath only that for which he maketh effort, (39) And that his effort will be seen. (40) And afterward he will be repaid for it with fullest payment; (41) And that thy Lord, He is the goal; (42) And that He it is who maketh laugh, and maketh weep, (43) And that He it is Who giveth death and giveth life; (44) And that He createth the two spouses, the male and the female, (45) From a drop (of seed) when it is poured forth; (46) And that He hath ordained the second bringing forth; (47) And that He it is Who enricheth and contenteth; (48) And that He it is Who is the Lord of Sirius; (49) And that He destroyed the former (tribe of) A'ad, (50) And (the tribe of) Thamud He spared not; (51) And the folk of Noah aforetime, Lo! they were more unjust and more rebellious; (52) And Al-Mu'tafikah He destroyed (53) So that there covered them that which did cover. (54) Concerning which then, of the bounties of thy Lord, canst thou dispute? (55) This is a warner of the warners of old. (56) The threatened Hour is nigh. (57) None beside Allah can disclose it. (58) Marvel ye then at this statement, (59) And laugh and not weep, (60) While ye amuse yourselves? (61) Rather prostrate yourselves before Allah and serve Him. (62)
