In order to make full and proper use of the book, a humble requisition is made here to all non-Muslims to go
directly to the second part (here) of this book and come back here later only after going through those because the
author is afraid that it is highly likely that one would misinterpret the true purpose of this book.
Muslim friends, on the other hand, are requested to go through the chapters sequentially till the very end, just like
any other book.
Thank you.
Part 2
(This page is intentionally left blank)
Part I
Imagine, as a Muslim and after your death, you are awaiting the verdict of the final judgment on whether you
will go to heaven or hell. Just then, your prophet comes in front of you and thank you saying "you are one of the
very handful few men who truly honored me". "By the time, let's meet all previous prophets, on whose path I walked,
they too are eagerly waiting for you…"
Let this book be the turning point in your life for a similar event to happen in your afterlife.
Foreword -The 4 assumptions
Quran, for the believers, is a complete source of guidance for total subjugation of oneself to Allah and
Mohammed. However, though the Quran is considered as a complete source of guidance, many have to depend on
hadiths and few other books to figure out solutions and to find out how the prophet would have managed similar
situations back in those times. This book makes an overview of the recent scientific findings on the nature of human
behavior, working and functioning of the human brain enabling one to make better interpretations of one's religion.
Additionally, it makes a few interpretations of the Islamic view concerned with the lineage and prophecy of
Abrahamic religions. This should greatly empower a Muslim (or even believer of other religions) to take a clearer
view of oneself and help to advance further in the right direction concerned with one's spiritual yearnings. This
book makes a few fundamental assumptions which I believe Muslim friends will have no objection: -
1) It assumes that you believe in God and that, it is God that made you (it is OK even if you do not have such a
belief).
2) This book doesn't make claims that Prophet Muhammad was the most intelligent or smartest of all mankind,
but it does assume that the Prophet was one of the most morally civilized people ever to walk on this planet Earth.
After all, that's one of the greatest qualities we all attribute to a "Prophet". (As we move further, we will even have
support from the field of science of modern neurology for this!)
3) It is also assumed that the Prophet intended to guide or make or get people as close to God as possible, to
make/guide ordinary people like us - the favorite as possible in the eyes of God.
4) Additionally, this book assumes that the true preaching of the prophet Mohammed will be true guidance
even for our future generations; that is, it is time immortal. So, everything that science figures out regarding human
nature, human behavior, etc. will only add proof for the validity of his teachings.
A few more assumptions are made along the way and if any contradictions happen to arise, they are
tackled with reason or logic needing only elementary intelligence and are settled in accordance with the
above stated 4 fundamental assumptions.
Preface 1
Islamic world believes that Prophet Mohammed was the finest man; the man with the highest morale ever to
walk on this planet which obviously puts everyone else "below moral" when compared to the moral of the prophet.
However, as per the proverb "All looks yellow to the jaundiced eyes", how can a man of low morale ever truly
understand the values of higher morale? What if the prophet was a man of even far greater virtues than that Muslims
generally consider? Why are there different sects of Islam? Much more, why is there little harmony (if any) among
them even when they believe that they all are rightfully following the same person? What is the relevance of
"muqatta'at" (mysterious words) in the Quran? What can it teach the believers? If you learn and interpret more of
Quran, which sect will you move on to? Since all prophets preached the same core beliefs, are Muslims paying
justice to the prophets' lineage? When God itself appeared in front of other prophets, why was the task handed over
to Gabriel when it came to the part of Mohammed (PBUH), especially when he was appointed as the last prophet for
mankind and was bestowed with far more responsibility? What can it teach us? Caliph Uthman on one occasion had
to destroy many fake or variant Qurans! Considering the importance of the Quran, why didn't Mohammed take
measures to standardize the Quran in the first place, especially when he knew of the Bible and other holy books that
came before the Quran? Are modern-day Muslims guided towards true UMMAH?
This book takes a peep into the modern findings on how our brain works and its nature. This should make one
realize that much of the discrepancy associated with the Quran and Islam is the outcome of a grievous crime the
believers are unknowingly and unintentionally doing to oneself, and in doing so even committing the crime to the
very prophet himself. Hope this book will be successful in its attempt to make everyone realize this truth. Believers
now can have scientific proofs along with the right guidance! It is hoped that believers will realize how important
and valuable it is in directing and helping us in achieving the true prophet's dream of "UMMAH". Additionally, this
book makes one realize – to what one should be thankful for, how one should express his/her gratitude towards it
and what one should value and what one should protect. This book should empower those truly honest Muslims
(which I hope, constitutes the majority) to read between the lines of Quran.
Introduction 1:
According to Muslims, Mohammed (570-632AD) is the founder of Islam. As per Islamic doctrine, he was a
prophet, sent to present and confirm the monotheistic teachings preached previously by Adam, Abraham, Moses,
Jesus, and other prophets. It is believed that messages of God were revealed to him by the angel Gabriel and several
of Mohammed's companions served as scribes and recorded the revelations. After the death of the prophet, some 40
years or so later, caliph Uthman "happened to notice that there were variations in the Quran and took measures to
standardize the book".
As time passed, currently there exist very many schools of Islamic thoughts, all claiming they are the 'real' rightful
or truthful followers. Each of these sects of Islam is "on the duty and path" of eliminating every other sect of Islam!
After all, heaven is for those "who follow the right Islam in the rightful way".
So, how do you know you are following the "right" Islam? What if there is a way to know that? That's exactly the
purpose of this book. With the help of knowledge gained from recent advancement in modern science – especially in
the realm of human behavior , especially concerned with the formation of habit, memories, free will, mental
disorders, the effect of conditioning on one's behavior, the working of the brain, etc., this book should enable you to
make a fair and rightful decision in this regard.
This book is based on the above (italicized) paragraphs and a few words from the Quran which should enable you to
read between the lines of the Quran, so that you can have a glimpse of the greatness of the virtues of Mohammed
(PBUH), what Mohammed (PBUH) really cherished or envisioned of the future to be. We will go through the effect
of the various practices on his behavior, and the modifications those practices would have made to his brain in
accordance with the modern understanding of the human brain. Additionally but most importantly, you will come to
know about things Mohammed (PBUH) himself didn't do (and ever thought of doing), but over a billion of his
followers are doing; even committing such acts and wrongfully attributing it to his name; you will find the sole
reason why there are many offshoots in Islam and why they are in disharmony with each other; You will find the
powerful cause that it even deviated the path of Islam from what it should have been.
The author needed some preliminary knowledge of twentieth-century science to decipher and read between the lines
of the Quran and to understand its magnificence of the Prophet. This book should also let you know of the real
elements that molded you (and me) into our present form. This book makes one realize what we should value and
protect; what you (and me) should really be thankful for and the right way to express our gratitude. For that, all that
is required is not your intelligence, but your honesty; which I believe there is an abundance of it in yourself
especially when it comes to religious matters. The book demands that you won't betray yourself and that you are
truthful to yourself.
"The greatest truth is honesty, and the greatest false hood is dishonesty".
Ch - 1: Ice breaking
This section was supposed to be part of the introduction but since it should take the greatest strength, honesty,
and courage in you (as a Muslim) to go through this book, it is added here.
Since all prophets preached the same core concepts, we will go through them for the very same purpose. Buddha, as
he preached, advised his people not to accept his words on blind faith, but to decide for themselves whether his
teachings are right or wrong and only then accept his guidance. He also said, to put in quotes, "You should do your
own work, for I can teach only the way." Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) advised that one should be a truth seeker and
be the light for the world. This puts tremendous responsibility on the part of the followers… This book is an attempt
to give the courage to identify and follow the right path… courage from the guidance of the prophets… courage
from the understanding of recent advancements in the field of neuroscience… courage from and for right thinking.
According to Islamic sources, Prophet Mohammed (PUBH) narrated God sent revelations to his followers who acted
as scribes and some of them were compiled into books. After the prophet's death, many versions of these texts came
into existence which prompted Caliph Uthamn to select one as a standard text and standardize it which is known
today as the Quran. Even then, as time progressed, currently, there exist some (minor) variations of the Quran to an
extent that one community, not only rejects the Quran of other communities but is considered a crime or offense to
accept those Quran! Moreover, there are Hadiths, Madhhabs, etc.; the acceptance and variations of these again
contribute to the disparity amongst Islamic groups.
Each and every one of the diverse groups in Islam- Shia, Sunni, Ahmadi, and so on; hope that they are following the
right Islam and are fighting with each other considering it as their divine duty. Each of them believe that they are the
only ones to be rightly guided and obviously, that puts all the rest of the Muslims among the misguided ones! So
how can one end this discrepancy? How can there be harmony and what is the right path to achieve "UMMAH" as
the prophet desired? How can one know that: - one is following is the right "Islam" in the "right way"? What are the
proofs that lay in front of us? Obviously, this seems like a Herculean task, but the truth is: all that is required for the
solution is within us.
Now, to make matters simple, just imagine a few intimate friends of Prophet Mohammed (PUBH) happened to come
and visit you. They all have by hearted verses directly from prophet Mohammed and Mohammed himself cherished
their company and friendship. They say that The Prophet (pbuh) was the finest, wisest and honest man they have
ever known. They say that the prophet longed to make Muslims (his followers) the light of the world… that he
longed his followers to be truth seekers … that he longed to make Muslims set an example for the world. They say
that he guided his followers to get them as much close to God and how he wished the world to attain "UMMAH".
What will be your reaction towards them? Will you enquire them about Prophet Mohammed? How the Prophet
lived? What are all the things he liked? Won't you like them to share their experience with the Prophet Mohammed
(PUBH) with you? The author too would be asking similar questions. (Additionally, one of the questions the author
would be asking is why the prophet never took the decision or initiative to standardize the book in the first place
especially when Prophet Mohammed was aware of Jesus and the Bible?) If so, the Quran could have had much more
authenticity than when it is compiled through the Caliph Uthman (a third person)! Or was there something the
prophet would have foreseen that prevented him from compiling or standardizing it into a book; (we will come
across some co-relating reasons for this when we learn about the human brain and again when we talk about the
nature of the universe). They narrate everything with you as if those good times were yesterday. They say that the
preaching of the prophet is time immortal – that is it is valid now as it was valid then and that it will stay valid
forever. Depending on what and how you ask the questions, there could have been some minor difference between
their narrations (at the most if any), but there is no argument among themselves on those because each of them
knows what true guidance is. It should be noted that there are some minor differences in the Quran itself as in a few
cases where an event is described differently in two different places and are creating havoc among the believers. So,
how can one decipher the true guidance from the Quran?
Moreover, why is it that the Quran doesn't directly prescribe any earthly punishment for blasphemy? What is the
relevance of those various "muqatta-at" or mystery words in the Quran? What was the reason for God, not to appear
in front of Mohammed when he appeared in front of all other prophets for revelations? Why was the task handed
over to Gabriel when it came to the part of Mohammed (PUBH)? (From now on, to find the answer for these, it
