		That was because the chapter of The Star [Sura 53] had been sent down to Mohammed and the apostle recited it.
		Note that even though some claim Sura 17:73-75 was revealed at the time of the "Ascent of the Prophet", Tabari and Ibn Sa’d wrote that Sura 17:73-75 was revealed about the time of the Satanic verses.
		Sura 5:46-48 says that Jesus confirmed the Torah (in His time], God sent the Scripture to Jews and Christians, and even in Mohammed’s time they could test the truth by it.

	Introductory Remarks by Sahar Amer, Page 5-The Veil 2000
		And nowhere, including in Sura 33:53 is hijab used to describe, let alone to prescribe, the necessity for Muslim women to wear a headscarf or any of the other pieces of clothing often seen covering women in Islamic countries today.
		If the word hijab is used indeed in one passage, namely Sura 33:52, it does not in any case refer to what is today commonly understood by the word, namely a headscarf of some sort to be worn by all Muslim women.
		For sura 33:52 was revealed at the time of the Prophet's marriage with a new bride and speaks of his desire to consummate his marriage, a desire which was frustrated because some guests were overstaying their visit.

		It is evident to anyone reading these passages that except for the last quotation, the word hijab, though used indeed in the Arabic text, is not understood to mean or to refer in any way to an Islamic dress code for women.
		The second passage Sura 19: 16-17 speaks about how when she found out she was pregnant, Mary separated herself from her people in space and in silence (this separation is spoked of as a veil).
		The third passage Sura 41: 5 speaks about the polytheists who have a veil on their heart that prevents them from hearing and understanding the preaching of the Prophet.

	Universal Unity - 33
		There are two major facets of the Quran's mathematical system: (1) the mathematical literary composition, and (2) the mathematical structure involving the numbers of suras and verses.
		Because of this comprehensive mathematical coding, the slightest distortion of the Quran's text or physical arrangement is immediately exposed.
		This is especially impossible in view of (1) the age of ignorance during which the Quran was revealed, and (2) the fact that the suras and verses were widely separated in time and place of revelation.

		1 This Sura was revealed at about the time of the first emigration of Muhammad's followers to Abyssinia, A. The manner in which the Prophet cancelled the objectionable verses 19, 20, is the strongest proof of his sincerity (as also is the opening of Sura 1xxx.) at this period.
		The probability is that the difficulties of his position led him to attempt a compromise of which he speedily repented.
		In the Suras subsequent to this period the denunciations of idolatry become much sterner and clearer.

		Also Islamic conquests were successful because in some of the conquered lands the people were fed up with the maltreatment of their Roman rulers and willingly accepted Islam’s emphasis on equality and brotherhood.

		Had he not done so, nothing would have been easier for him than to have effected a reconciliation with the powerful party in Mecca, who had recently compelled his followers to emigrate.

	Does Allah forgive shirk?
		This would be utterly unworthy of God, who is eternally the same and as the All-wise does not need change his laws because he is surprised by new developments.
		On the other hand, we can even find a general statement about the forgiveness of shirk, since Sura 25:68-71 speaks about people who worship gods other than God and when they repent, believe, and work righteousness then God not only forgives them but He even substitutes their sins (sayyi'aat) with righteouss credit (hasannat).
		Sura 4:17 says he forgives if sins were done in ignorance, but 4:153 says he forgave them even though they clearly knew what they were doing and worshiped the idol anyway.

	The Koran/Sura I
		This Sura, which Nöldeke places last, and Muir sixth, in the earliest class of Meccan Suras, must at least have been composed prior to Sura xxxvii.
		And it can scarcely be an accidental circumstance that the words of the first, second, and fifth verses do not occur in any other Suras of the first Meccan period as given by Nöldeke, but frequently in those of the second, which it therefore, in Nöldeke, opinion, immediately precedes.
		But this may be accounted for by its having been recast for the purposes of private and public devotion by Muhammad himself, which is the meaning probably of the Muhammadan tradition that it was revealed twice.

		For instance, Sura 5:116 says the Christian Trinity is composed of God, Jesus and Mary.
		We could attribute the error to Mohammed, except that would be blasphemy, or we could attribute the error to the scribes, except they seem to be quite consistent in their errors, since the same mistake is made in Sura 5:77 and 4:169.
		Now, it is true that Sura 2:105 says "Whatever verses we [Allah] cancel or cause you to forget, we bring a better or its like." (though why Allah refers to himself in the plural if God is not Trinitarian is something of a mystery, but let us pass on).

		These verses in the beginning of Sura 53 (Al-Najm) have been subject to great misinterpretation.
		When we analyse the claim that the prophet prohibited writing his hadith only in the beginning so that it is not confused with the Quran, we note a serious problem.
		This Sura is a Meccan Sura, or in other words, it was reveled before the immigration to Medina and the subsequent prohibition of writing the hadith.

	The Satanic Verses and the Miracle of the Qur'an
		The challenge of the Qur'an to "bring a surah like it" was actually met by those satanic verses in Muhammad's own time, which in turn leads to the conclusion that the rest of the Qur'an is not from God either.
		Some might want to respond with the argument that these satanic verses are "not long enough" to be counted as a whole sura as the Qur'an demands.
		If the Qur'an had contained a sura as short as these verses, you would not have rejected to believe it based on brevity.

	Islamic roots of polytheism: Allah’s Daughters: Lat, Uzza, and Manat. "Daughter-gate"
		The polytheists of the Quraysh and others who were in the mosque [that is, the Meccan Haram] likewise prostrated themselves because of the reference to their gods which they heard, so that there was no one in the mosque, believer or unbeliever, who did not prostrate himself...
		That Mohammed actually once thought of the three goddesses as interceding angels is shown by his later addition to the aforementioned Sura 53.26-29: 'And many as are the angels in the Heavens, their intercession shall be of no avail until God hath permitted it to whomsoever He shall please, and whom He will accept.
		The other passage was Sura 22, Si, where we read, amongst other things: 'We have not sent any apostle or prophet before thee, amongst whose desires Satan hath injected not some wrong desire, but Allah shall bring to nought that which Satan hath suggested.
