Furqan and the criteria of 'right and wrong'

Furq?n (?????)

“the criterion (of right and wrong, true and false); for example, the Qur'an as furqan.”

What people must realize about the Koran is that it is an all-or-nothing theology. Join the cult and the bounties and blessings of this world and the next [if you are a Muslim male, since according to Muhammed 99% of women go to hell], will be yours. Reject the cult and hell-fire, damnation, torture, terror and death is your destiny. When the Koran expresses something like 'charity' or Zakat, it is the theme of helping only Muslims which must be borne in mind. Zakat for instance is a welfare system tax, imposed on Muslims as an obligation to fund pensions, salaries and benefits for the cult members, including in times past, its soldiery and adminstrators. It is not a charity offering in the Western sense.

Furqan is another category of Islamic theology that largely escapes the analysis of the experts, and the Muslimophiles. Furqan is purportedly the criteria to establish the difference between 'right and wrong'. Westerners make the mistake of conflating Furqan with morality. The two have no relationship. Furqan has two important theological aspects:

1. The Koran is Furqan and all words and letters in the Koran are the perfect expression of 'right'

2. Islam and Muslims are Furqan. Pious Islam which mirrors what the Koran commands, is the embodiment of Furqan.

Logically given the above, anyone who is not a Muslim is not Furqan and is 'wrong'. Any belief system outside of Koranic theology and law is not Furqan and is 'wrong'. Infidel practices no matter how holy, moral, or ethical must be wrong. Only the Koran and Islam is Furqan. The world again, cleaved into two.

There are 4 verses in the Koran in which the Arabic word Furqan is used.

3-004: Aforetime, for a guidance to mankind; and hath revealed the Criterion (of right and wrong). Lo! those who disbelieve the revelations of Allah, theirs will be a heavy doom. Allah is Mighty, Able to Requite (the wrong).

Furqan in this sentence is 'Able to Requite'. If you are unable to discern the truth of Allah and reject his cult you will have 'a heavy doom'. This is rather clear.

8-29: O ye who believe! If ye keep your duty to Allah, He will give you discrimination (between right and wrong) and will rid you of your evil thoughts and deeds, and will forgive you. Allah is of Infinite Bounty.

Furqan in this sentence is 'between right and wrong'. If you believe in Allah he will guide you to 'right' practices and beliefs, namely a belief in Allah [a logical tautology], and in following everything that his mouthpiece on earth Muhammad, pronounced. This Manichean world division is again rather clearly stated.

21-48: And We verily gave Moses and Aaron the Criterion (of right and wrong) and a light and a Reminder for those who keep from evil,

All Jewish prophets were really Muslims. Muhammad made the claim that since Moses was a Muslim, and that the original book of Allah was bastardized into the Old Testament, that the Jews had followed the 'wrong' path and had committed a mortal sin against the 'right' religion. This is one justification amongst many for allowing Muslims to torture, humiliate and kill Jews. The same applies to Christianity which is a Jewish offspring.

25-001: Blessed is He Who hath revealed unto His slave the Criterion (of right and wrong), that he may be a warner to the peoples.

Blacks, Whites, Pagans, Jews, and Christians were all slaves during the conquests of early Islam. They would be 'warners' to their peoples, of what will happen if tribes and nations forsook Islam and became shirkers, or those who reject Muhammad's cult. Islam is Furqan and the 'slaves' have chosen the wrong theology to follow. This is why they are slaves. Allah has decreed it thus.

Muslims cannot refute Furqan or the verses above. It is obvious what these phrases are saying. It is supremacism. Islam in the form of Koranic and Allah worship is the only path to salvation. Some Muslim theologians equate Furqan with salvation [due to the fact that Syriac Arabic is different than southern Arabian Arabic and the words might have slightly different meanings]. You can only be saved if the doctrine you follow is perfectly right. But what doctrine is the Koran teaching? The underlying theme of the Koran, which is the opposite of what Christianity proposes, is that only 'good' people will rightly choose Allah. In part this is because Allah pre-ordains those he will 'save' and lead to Islam and those he will 'damn' and consign to hell-fire. This gives Muslims the excuse to hate and persecute Jews and Christians because Allah has purposefully led them to reject Islam. In other words the Jew can't help himself because Allah wants him to reject Islam and by so doing, he allows violence in any form against the rejector of Furqan.

Furqan is important not just as a theological-metaphysical enterprise but because of the culture it will breed. Furqan neatly divides the world into two camps. The pre-ordained 'good' people of Islam, and the rest. It is thus very much like the other categories of Islamic theology, including Shirk [idolator or denier of Islam], Fasiqun [those who rebel against Islam], and Zalimun [the unjust non-Muslim]. Farqun or 'good' is not an objective ethical concept. It is completely subjective. Join the cult and be saved. Reject it and as Sura 3-004 states, heavy will be your doom.
