The Quran is nothing more than the work of a 7th-century Bedouin, a man whose idea of paradise was shaped by the material desires of a desert warrior, not by divine wisdom.

If the Quran were truly from God, it would reflect eternal, spiritual truths, not a Bedouin’s fantasy of luxury filled with couches, tents, and drinkware.

Look at the absurdly primitive rewards it promises in paradise:

• Cups to drink from – “Therein will be raised couches, and cups set at hand.” (Quran 88:13-14)

• Carpets and tents – “Chaste maidens restrained in pavilions.” (Quran 55:72)

• Beds and couches – “Reclining upon couches lined with brocade.” (Quran 55:54)

• Leaning on cushions – “Reclining therein upon adorned couches.” (Quran 36:56)

This is not a vision of heaven, it’s the dream of a man who spent his life sleeping in a tent on the desert floor, bribing his followers with fantasies of silk cushions, goblets of wine, and women hidden away in luxurious tents.

Muhammad’s idea of paradise is nothing but an upgraded desert campsite.

Muhammad was motivating his jihadists, promising them the very things they lacked in the harsh deserts of Arabia.

He wasn’t offering a path to enlightenment; he was selling paradise like a merchant pushing luxury goods in a marketplace.

And of course, he didn’t stop at furniture and drink, he added virgins, rivers of wine, and young boys to serve them (Quran 78:33, Quran 76:19).

What kind of God promises sex slaves and alcohol as a divine reward? The answer is simple: a false god, invented by a man who knew how to manipulate warriors into dying for him.

Islam’s paradise exposes the Quran for what it truly is, not divine revelation, but the materialistic fantasy of a 7th-century Bedouin warlord who bribed men with couches and cups of wine to send them to die in battle.
