As with Suras 53 and 54, Sura 55 or Rahman the Most Gracious, is yet another tribute to the real antecedents of this 'Allah' thing or 'Lord' – namely, the moon deity. Copper and Bronze age cults largely worshipped celestial objects and given the seemingly capricious and violent changes in natural phenomena and their impact on settled agricultural life; this reverence for nature and its controlling 'agents' is certainly rational. Post the late bronze age, anthropomorphic ideals around divine power begin to emerge, as civilization attempts to 'own the world' in the words of Genesis.

Al-lah or the ilah of Mecca was of course Hub'Al the male moon deity whose roots one can trace back to moon worship at Babylon through the 'god' Sin [1800 BC]; and in Sumer 1500 years earlier in Bel or Ba'al [Canaanite terms]. The 'Lord' or ilah of Mecca was simply the most important deity amongst the 360 odd idols in the Kabaa shrine. This was a normal pantheon in the ancient world, replicated in the poverty and illiteracy of 7^th century Arabia. In Babylonia Sin was superseded by Marduk the tribal 'god' who protected the Babylonians. Marduk was 'the one'. In Egypt the Sun 'god' Ra protected Memphis whilst another incarnation of the Sun 'god' Amon secured Thebes. These Sun 'gods' would be yoked to other 'gods' such as wisdom, life, and the after-life. They might be 'first amongst equals'. In the ancient Near East every city state had its protector 'gods', and every 'empire', or agglomeration of city states, would also have a 'god' which afforded legitimacy, security and the means to 'victory' over rivals.

Muhammad's Mecca was little more than an ancient throwback, undeveloped and mired in bronze-age culture. This is obvious if one reads the long historical record of the Near East. As with most bronze-age cults, the theology of the state was quite violent, and homage to gods took on the form of slavery, or enslavement to that god's will and demands. In this vein violence and intolerance against outsiders becomes a cultural artifact of the bronze-age cult. In Sura 55 the Jews and Christians are clearly targeted for destruction for example:

“On you will sent (O you evil ones twain!) a flame of fire (to burn) and a smoke (to choke): no defence will you have:.....(For ) the sinners will known by their Marks: and they will be seized by their forelocks and their feet...This is the Hell which the sinners deny: In its midst and in the midst of boiling hot water will they wander round!” [55:35, 41, 43, 44]

'Marks' means Jewish circumcision and the Cross of Christ. Jews and Christians are evil amd must either convert to Muhammad's cult or perish. This does not sound very much like a religion.

What the cult of submission demands is blind obeisance. Obey the Koran, because Al-Lah created it; and through his messenger Muhammad; gave it to mankind. Notice the irrational tautology.

055:046 URL But for him who [the true believer of Islamic Monotheism who performs all the duties ordained by Allah and His Messenger Muhammad SAW , and keeps away (abstain) from all kinds of sin and evil deeds prohibited in Islam and] fears the standing before his Lord, there will be two Gardens (i.e. in Paradise).

Perform 'all duties' as evinced in the Koran and evidenced by the life of Muhammad. Blindly follow the rituals and demands of the cult and its '6' pillars including Jihad or fighting the Infidel. If you do you might be blessed with paradise in the after-life. If you reject any part of this Al-lah thing's program, you are certainly destined for hellfire and destruction, dragged through the fiery depths, like the Jews and Christians by your 'forelocks'.
