Any who have read the Quran have wondered where did all those stories come from and why are the told and retold over and over and over and over time and time again. allah of the Quran is the Great Deceiver who forgot to mention to his readers from where he copied his stories. SOURCES of the Quran. Moses and the fish – from Arabic folk tales about search for eternal life. May be originally from Babylon – the Babylonian Ugarit texts has a very similar story about the god El (not unknown in and around Arabia). Solomon listening to the ants – fairy tale perhaps inspired by the Bible, Sol. 6/6. Jinns working for Solomon – from local fairy tales, folk tales and myths (jinns were beings in Arab folklore that are incorporated in Islam). Anyone who has read f. ex. 1001 Nights knows that supernatural beings sometimes worked for humans. Mary working in the temple (in Jerusalem) as child/youth – from “The Proto Gospel after Jacob”, part 8,1 and 8,1b. Jesus talking in the crib – from the religious legend “The Egyptian Child Gospel” perhaps via the as made up “The Arab Child Gospel” (originally from Syria) – both fairy tales about fantastic things concerning the child Jesus. “The Arab Child Gospel” also got stories from “The Proto Gospel after Jacob” and “The Thomas’ Child Gospel” – both made up religious legends or myths. Jesus making birds from clay – read the heretical Gnostic “Child Gospel after Thomas” verse 1 – 4, a very made up child gospel. (Actually none of the stories about Jesus in the Quran is reckoned by scientists to be true. Actually most of what is said in the Quran about Christian religion, is from apocryphal – made up – sources. Not unnatural as there f. ex. were many Gnostics and other semi-Christian and semi-Jewish sects in the fringes of Christianity. sects. Syria and Arabia definitely were in – and outside – those fringes). Mary and the palm – from the made up religious fable “The Proto Gospel after Mathew”, chapter 20. Muhammad’s Night Journey to Heaven – read about different such travels in Jewish Merabah mysticism or even more the gnostic “Enoc’s Journy to Heaven” (nearly identical to Ibn Ishaq’s by Islam accepted story after Abu Said al-Chudri) The sleepers in the cave – the even today well known religious fable from Efesus, about the 7 youths that fled from emperor Decius (a real emperor reigning only 2 years around 250 AD) and went to sleep in a cave, and then woke up maximum 196 years later (the Quran says 300 or 309 years) under the more well known emperor Theodocius). Just read it – it normally even is better told than in the Quran. Alexander the Great/Duh’l Quarnayn – anyone knowing the story of Alexander; read this part oft Surah 18 and weep – or laugh. Copycatting at its most naïve. (He f. ex. was no Muslim, he never went west – this we know from history, there no place in the world was enough iron blocks to close off a whole valley around 330 BC, etc.). The story about Ad (many times repeated) – copied from Arab folk tales, presumeably a story from more than 2000 years before Muhammad (before Moses (around 1230 BC) according to the Quran), and Muhammad had no written sources. Besides all the other: How big is the chance that a folk tale is true and identical with the reality after 2ooo years? The stories about Thamud – copied from Arab presumably 2ooo years old folk tales. See the tales about Ad just above. The stories about Median – copied from Arab folk tales.
