Muhammad was accused of copying from legends

Earth depiction in Islam
Flat Earth description in Islam, originated from legend copied by Muhammad

Do they not consider how camels have been created? Nor how the sky has been lifted up? Nor how the mountains have been erected? Nor even how the earth has been flattened out?

Quran 88:17-20

When Muhammad presented his Qurans to the people, they did not believe him, instead they accused him of copying his Qurans from legends or mythical stories. The verses below are testimonies how the people at the start of Islam reacted to the Qurans of Muhammad.

[Quran 6:25] And among them are those who listen to you, but We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And if they should see every sign, they will not believe in it. Even when they come to you arguing with you, those who disbelieve say, “This is not but legends of the former peoples.”

[Quran 8:31] And when Our verses are recited to them, they say, “We have heard. If we willed, we could say [something] like this. This is not but legends of the former peoples.”

[Quran 16:24] And when it is said to them, “What has your Lord sent down?” They say, “Legends of the former peoples,”

[Quran 23:83] We have been promised this, we and our forefathers, before; this is not but legends of the former peoples.”

[Quran 25:5] And they say, “Legends of the former peoples which he has written down, and they are dictated to him morning and afternoon.”

[Quran 27:68] We have been promised this, we and our forefathers before. This is not but legends of the former peoples.”

[Quran 46:17] But one who says to his parents, “Uff to you; do you promise me that I will be brought forth [from the earth] when generations before me have already passed on [into oblivion]?” while they call to Allah for help [and to their son], “Woe to you! Believe! Indeed, the promise of Allah is truth.” But he says, “This is not but legends of the former people” –

[Quran 68:15] When Our verses are recited to him, he says, “Legends of the former peoples.”

[Quran 83:13] When Our verses are recited to him, he says, “Legends of the former peoples.”

♦This accusation by the people against Muhammad turned out to be true, because the Quran contains legends indeed.

Allah kept cursing people

Say, “Shall I inform you of [what is] worse than that as penalty from Allah ? [It is that of] those whom Allah has cursed and with whom He became angry and made of them apes and pigs and slaves of Taghut. Those are worse in position and further astray from the sound way.” 

Quran 5:60

[Quran 2:88] And they said, “Our hearts are wrapped.” But, [in fact], Allah has cursed them for their disbelief, so little is it that they believe. 

[Quran 2:89] And when there came to them a Book from Allah confirming that which was with them – although before they used to pray for victory against those who disbelieved – but [then] when there came to them that which they recognized, they disbelieved in it; so the curse of Allah will be upon the disbelievers.

[Quran 2:159] Indeed, those who conceal what We sent down of clear proofs and guidance after We made it clear for the people in the Scripture – those are cursed by Allah and cursed by those who curse,

[Quran 2:161-162] Indeed, those who disbelieve and die while they are disbelievers – upon them will be the curse of Allah and of the angels and the people, all together, Abiding eternally therein. The punishment will not be lightened for them, nor will they be reprieved.

[Quran 3:61] Then whoever argues with you about it after [this] knowledge has come to you – say, “Come, let us call our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves, then supplicate earnestly [together] and invoke the curse of Allah upon the liars [among us].”

[Quran 3:87] Those – their recompense will be that upon them is the curse of Allah and the angels and the people, all together, 

[Quran 4:46] Among the Jews are those who distort words from their [proper] usages and say, “We hear and disobey” and “Hear but be not heard” and “Ra’ina,” twisting their tongues and defaming the religion. And if they had said [instead], “We hear and obey” and “Wait for us [to understand],” it would have been better for them and more suitable. But Allah has cursed them for their disbelief, so they believe not, except for a few.

[Quran 4:47] O you who were given the Scripture, believe in what We have sent down [to Muhammad], confirming that which is with you, before We obliterate faces and turn them toward their backs or curse them as We cursed the sabbath-breakers. And ever is the decree of Allah accomplished.

But pardon them and overlook [their misdeeds]. Indeed, Allah loves the doers of good. 

[Quran 5:60] Say, “Shall I inform you of [what is] worse than that as penalty from Allah ? [It is that of] those whom Allah has cursed and with whom He became angry and made of them apes and pigs and slaves of Taghut. Those are worse in position and further astray from the sound way.” 

[Quran 5:64] And the Jews say, “The hand of Allah is chained.” Chained are their hands, and cursed are they for what they say. Rather, both His hands are extended; He spends however He wills. And that which has been revealed to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in transgression and disbelief. And We have cast among them animosity and hatred until the Day of Resurrection. Every time they kindled the fire of war [against you], Allah extinguished it. And they strive throughout the land [causing] corruption, and Allah does not like corrupters.

[Quran 5:78] And the Jews say, “The hand of Allah is chained.” Chained are their hands, and cursed are they for what they say. Rather, both His hands are extended; He spends however He wills.

Have you found what your Lord promised to be true?” They will say, “Yes.” Then an announcer will announce among them, “The curse of Allah shall be upon the wrongdoers.”

[Quran 9:30] And the Jews say: ‘Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: Messiah is the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouths. They imitate the saying of the disbelievers of old. Allah’s Curse be on them, how they are deluded away from the truth!

[Quran 9:68] Allah has promised the hypocrite men and hypocrite women and the disbelievers the fire of Hell, wherein they will abide eternally. It is sufficient for them. And Allah has cursed them, and for them is an enduring punishment.

[Quran 11:18] And who is more unjust than he who invents a lie about Allah ? Those will be presented before their Lord, and the witnesses will say, “These are the ones who lied against their Lord.” Unquestionably, the curse of Allah is upon the wrongdoers.
