Sura 29 - "The Spider"
by
LTC Daniel Marvin, USASF Ret'd
Muhammad tells his followers "The likeness for those who take to
themselves guardians instead of God is the likeness of the SPIDER who
buildeth her a house: But frailest of all houses surely is the house of
the spider. Did they but know this." He goes on to say "God hath
created the Heavens and the Earth for a serious end [for the truth].
Verily in this is a sign to those who believe. Recite the portions of
the Book [the Koran] which have been revealed to thee and discharge the
duty of prayer: for prayer restraineth from the filthy and the
blame-worthy. And the gravest duty is the rembrance of God; and God
knoweth what ye do."
Muhammad continues, telling the Muslims "Thus have we sent down the
Book of the Koran to thee: and they to whom we have given the Book of
the Law
believe in it: and of these Arabians there are those who believe in it:
and none, save the Infidels [Christians and Jews], reject our signs."
Leaving no doubt in the reader's mind, Muhammad goes on to state "But
who acteth more wrongly than he who deviseth a lie against God, or calls
the truth when it hath come to him, a lie? Is there not an abode for the
infidels in Hell?
You be the judge of it all!
