Do Not Use the Book of Jasher and the Book of Jubilees to Claim that Mount Kailash is the Tower of Babel

Qur'anic Warners

But I Failed to Acknowledge that these Books Clearly Contradict Each Other in How the Tower of Babel was Destroyed

And so which Book is the Truth? The Book of Jubilees? That the Tower of Babel was Overthrown by a Mighty Wind?

[Book of Jubilees 10:37], Torah
And the Lord sent a mighty wind against the tower and overthrew it upon the earth.

 
 
 

Then what is the Matter with you? How do you Judge? Or do you have a Scripture in which you Learn, that Indeed for you is Whatever you Choose?

[Book of Jasher 9:38], Torah
…[For I chose the account in the Book of Jasher, that] the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up one third part thereof, and a fire also descended from heaven and burned another third, and the other third is left to this day, and it is of that part which was aloft, and its circumference is a three days' walk [because this appeared to connect the tower to Mount Kailash through the ancient Buddhist and Hindu tradition of walking around it in three days].

[Book of Jubilees 10:37], Torah
[But then I ignored the contradiction in the Book of Jubilees that] the Lord sent a mighty wind against the tower and overthrew it upon the earth.

[Book of Jubilees 10:29], Torah
…[And yet, I still chose to believe other verses in the Book of Jubilees, such as] the clay with which they cemented them together was asphalt, which comes out of the sea, and out of the fountains of water in the land of Shinar, [because these appeared to match Rakshas Tal Sea and Lake Manasarovar near Mount Kailash].

But Indeed, Many Lead Others Astray through their Own Inclinations without Knowledge, so do Not Pursue that of which you have No Knowledge

68:36 - 38, Qur'an
[Then] what is [the matter] with you? How do you judge? Or do you have a scripture in which you learn, that indeed for you is whatever you choose?

68:39, Qur'an
Or do you have oaths [binding] upon Us, extending until the Day of Resurrection, that indeed for you is whatever you judge?

6:119, Qur'an
[But] indeed, many lead [others] astray through their [own] inclinations without knowledge. Indeed, your Lord - He is most knowing of the transgressors.

17:36, Qur'an
[So] do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge. Indeed, the hearing, the sight and the heart - [one] will be questioned about all those.

Rather, Judge by the Qur'an, for God Sent the Qur'an in Truth as a Criterion Over the Past Scripture, for Satan Threw in Falsehood

So do Not Follow their Inclinations Away from what has Come to you of the Truth as I had Done, and Speak Lies About God

5:48, Qur'an
We have sent the [Qur'an] down to you in truth, confirming that which is between one's hands of the Scripture and as a Criterion over it. So judge between them by what God has sent down and do not follow their inclinations away from what has come to you of the truth -

4:105, Qur'an
[For] indeed, We have sent the Book down to you in truth so that you may judge between the people by that which God has shown you.  And do not be an advocate for the deceitful -

22:52 - 54, Qur'an
[For] We did not send any messenger or prophet before you except that when Satan desired, he threw in his [own] desire [into His verses]. But God abrogates that [falsehood] which Satan throws in [His verses]; then God makes His verses precise. And God is Knowing and Wise. [That is] so He may make what [falsehood] Satan throws in a trial for those who have disease in their hearts and those hard of heart. And indeed, the wrongdoers are in extreme dissension.

2:79, Qur'an
So woe to those who write the "scripture" with their own hands, then say, "This is from God," in order to exchange it for a small price. Woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for what they earn -

2:169, Qur'an
[For Satan] only orders you to evil and immorality and to say what you do not know about God.

6:93, Qur'an
And who is more wrong than one who invents a lie about God or says, "It has been inspired to me," while nothing has been inspired to him, and one who says, "I will send down like what God sent down." And if you could see when the wrongdoers are in the overwhelming pangs of death while the angels extend their hands, [saying], "Out with your souls! Today you will be awarded the punishment of [extreme] humiliation for what you used to say against God other than the truth, and [that] you were being arrogant toward His verses."

I was being arrogant toward His verses, thinking that I could pick and choose the truth out from the falsehood in the Book of Jasher and the Book of Jubilees. But I was only pursuing that of which I had no knowledge, for I did not use the truth in the Qur'an as the Criterion over the past Scriptures, but I sought my own judgement as the criterion and thereby misled many, for the Qur'an does not even mention the Tower of Babel. But I claimed that certain verses in the Book of Jasher and the Book of Jubilees were truths from God about the Tower of Babel, which I could not know, thereby inventing lies about God. God willing, may He forgive me and guide me to Himself on a straight path, and allow others to see this warning, especially the people that I may have misled.
