In the second Surah, Al-Baqarah, "The Cow," we are given a brief description of the Fall of the Angels. The Quran does this quite purposely. For the Quran and the second Surah, "The Cow," especially, are very much concerned with the original vegetarian covenant and with the transgression of it, as we shall see in another chapter.While those in the Sunni tradition will affirm that the Quran that we now have numerous times sanctions the sacrificing of animals, there are nonetheless sections of the original vegetarian Quran that were not revised that condemn bloodshed, or making mischief on the earth. The Sunni tradition, like the traditions of orthodox Judaism and orthodox Christianity, has vested interests in maintaining the notion that Allah sanctions their bloodshed.  Sunni cattlemen have much to lose if it is realized that Islam was originally vegetarian.  Their ancestors who changed the words of the Quran changed the scriptures for "financial gain," in the words of the Quran itself.

       Not only was did the original Quran affirm vegetarianism, but it did so using references from the Ethiopic Book of Enoch, a book which is indisputably vegetarian in its teachings, condemning any alteration of nature whatsoever, such as mining, which alters the earth, or cosmetics, which alters the appearance of humans. The Book of Enoch is against animal sacrifices, and against any form of the shedding of  blood.  For example in the second Surah, "The Cow," called the Quran in little, because it is said to contain the major concerns of the Quran, criticizes the shedding of blood and making mischief on earth.

And when thy Lord said to the angels, I am going to place a ruler (khalifah) in the earth,  they said:  Wilt Thou place in it such as make mischief in it and shed blood?  The Cow 2:30

1. The Sacred Stone is a Shiva lingam. The vast majority of Shauivites are vegetarian.
2.The Quran praises the Sabeans, who are vegetarian.
3. The Quran has numerous passages stating that Gardens of Vegetation await
the true Muslim.
4. Muhammad was vegetarian. Some hadiths say he ate meat if offered to him, but did not choose it as a food. It is acknowledged even by Sunnis that Muhammad warned about the eating of flesh, that it was hard on the system.
5. (Muhammad in) the Quran praises Hud as the true prophet. Hud in ancient Hebrew refers to India, whose immigrants had settled in, done business with, and profoundly influenced the cultures of the Arabian penninsula.
6. Ancient Arabia venereated their Hind or Hindu ancestry.
7. Allah is described as The Lord of Seven Worlds or Heavens in the Quran.
This is a well-known attribute of Shiva.
9. Ramman, an aspect of Allah, and Ramadan, both derive from Ramah, one of
the deities of Hinduism.
10. The Quran affirms the Family of Creation in Surah 6: Verse 38. Seen above.
11. The Ummat, the followers of Allah, took their name from Umma, the mate of Shiva.
12. The Quran over and over again refers to the indisputably vegetarian Book of Enoch.

    As we shall see in the sections below, the very fact that the scriptures of the Ethiopic Book of Enoch are quoted points to a vegetarian origin for the Quran. The fact that Muhammad is described as a vegetarian even by Sunni sources should, one would think, be enough for open-minded Sunni Muslims to realize that the Shia claims for a vegetarian orthodoxy are valid.  Let's examine some of the references to the Book of Enoch.

   Those who have studied the Ethiopic Book of Enoch know that it begins with a description of the final days in which the mountains will crumble.  It later describes the punishment by fire of the fallen angels who led humanity astray. One of the unique features of the punishment of the fallen angels is that of the sinners being lashed with metal instruments, or, depending on the translation, that of the sinners themselves being lashed with "hooked rods of iron" which is a description in the Pickthall translation of the Quran.

Great fear and trembling shall seize them, even to the ends of the earth. The lofty mountains shall be troubled, and the exalted hills depressed, melting like a honeycomb in the flame. The earth shall be immersed, and all things which are in it perish; while judgment shall come upon all, even upon all the righteous...(Ethiopic) Book of Enoch 1: 6.

We have in store for the unbelievers heavy fetters and a blazing fire, choking food and harrowing torment: on the day when the earth shall quiver with all its mountains, and the mountains crumble into heaps of shifting sand. Quran 73:12

  While translations differ--the Pickthall translation has "hooked rods of iron" instead of lashed (by?) rods of iron, the point that is made in the Ethiopic Book of Enoch is that the angels are suffering for revealing the secrets of industry, dependent on metals. Mining, which alters creation, is forbidden, as are all other acts that alter what the Creator created. The Quran over and over again, when describing the punishment awaiting sinners, refers to the Book of Enoch, a work which denounces all animal sacrifices and bloodshed in general. This fact, in context of the list of facts we have mentioned, the praise of the Sabeans, the reference to the family of creation, the description of Allah as the Lord of seven worlds, a classic description of Shiva, the reference to the fruitful gardens awaiting the faithful, and so on, leads the reader to conclude that the original Vegetarian Quran was, like the original Torah, and original scriptures about Jesus, revised for a profit.

Garments of fire have been prepared for the unbelievers. Scalding water shall be poured upon their heads, melting their skins and that which is in their bellies. They shall be lashed rods of iron. Quran 22: 22

 And I saw there the hosts of the angels of punishment going, and they held scourges and chains 2 of iron and bronze. And I asked the angel of peace who went with me, saying: 'To whom are 3 these who hold the scourges going?' And he said unto me: 'To their elect and beloved ones, that they may be cast into the chasm of the abyss of the valley. 4 And then that valley shall be filled with their elect and beloved, And the days of their lives shall be at an end, And the days of their leading astray shall not thenceforward be reckoned.  Book of Enoch 56: 1

 

Chapter 7 of the Book of Enoch

And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and 6 fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones. 7: 5

    Chapter 8 of the Ethiopic Book of Enoch is a key chapter for understanding the religious sense that pervaded the pure remnant of people in ancient times, and that pervades some renunciate groups, and back to nature groups, today. They understood that to alter creation in any way was to sin against the Creator.

1Moreover Azazyel taught men to make swords, knives, shields, breastplates, the fabrication of mirrors, and the workmanship of bracelets and ornaments, the use of paint, the beautifying of the eyebrows, the use of stones of every valuable and select kind, and all sorts of dyes, so that the world became altered.

2Impiety increased; fornication multiplied; and they transgressed and corrupted all their ways.

   Chapter 9, in context with the above passages, gives us a summary of why the Deluge was brought about.

5You have seen what Azazyel has done, how he has taught every species of iniquity upon earth, and has disclosed to the world all the secret things which are done in the heavens.

9Thus has the whole earth been filled with blood and with iniquity.

    So now we also see why the Old Testament revisers could not be more specific regarding WHY God destroyed creation. The Old Testament says merely that violence and corruption existed on earth, but does not specify what types of violence and corruption existed. They could not have, for they would have condemned the values of the orthodoxy they were promoting, based on eating animal sacrifices and practicing industries such as mining.

6Again the Lord said to Raphael, Bind Azazyel hand and foot; cast him into darkness; and opening the desert which is in Dudael, cast him in there.
7Throw upon him hurled and pointed stones, covering him with darkness;

16Then shall they be taken away into the lowest depths of the fire in torments; and in confinement shall they be shut up for ever.
17Immediately after this shall he, (14) together with them, burn and perish; they shall be bound until the consummation of many generations.

   Thus we see here the wisdom of Isaias who denounced those sacrificing animals as parallel to the people of Sodom and Gomorrah, who deserved to be destroyed. Isaias saw through the homophobia that made homosexuals the scapegoats for the destruction.  The parallel condemnation and scapegoating of homosexuals in the New Testament and Quran may be regarded as typical orthodox bigotry by the patriarchs of those cultures. Isaias saw through it, as did the Jesus of the Gospel of the Nazirenes.

"Hear the word of the Lord you rulers of Sodom!  Give ear to the teaching of our God, you people of Gomorrah!  What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? says the Lord; I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed beasts; I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of he-goats."  1: 10-11.

16Then shall they be taken away into the lowest depths of the fire in torments; and in confinement shall they be shut up for ever.

17Immediately after this shall he, together with them, burn and perish; they shall be bound until the consummation of many generations.

18Destroy all the souls addicted to dalliance, (15) and the offspring of the Watchers, for they have tyrannized over mankind.
19Let every oppressor perish from the face of the earth;
20Let every evil work be destroyed;

1Then Enoch, passing on, said to Azazyel: You shalt not obtain peace. A great sentence is gone forth against you. He shall bind you;
2Neither shall relief, mercy, and supplication be yours, on account of the oppression which you have taught;
3And on account of every act of blasphemy, tyranny, and sin, which you have discovered to the children of men.

And Uriel said to me: 'Here shall stand the angels who have connected themselves with women, and their spirits assuming many different forms are defiling mankind and shall lead them astray into sacrificing to demons as gods...

6 In those days men shall not be saved by gold and by silver.
7Nor shall they have it in their power to secure themselves, and to fly.
8There shall be neither iron for was, nor a coat of mail for the breast.
9Copper shall be useless; useless also that which neither rusts nor consumes away; and lead shall not be coveted.
10All these things shall be rejected, and perish from off the earth, when the Elect One shall appear in the presence of the Lord of spirits.

6Michael and Gabriel, Raphael and Phanuel shall be strengthened in that day, and shall then cast them into a furnace of blazing fire, that the Lord of spirits may be avenged of them for their crimes; because they became ministers of Satan, and seduced those who dwell upon earth.

6There likewise I beheld hosts of angels who were moving in punishment, confined in a net-work of iron and brass.
