Rebirth of souls constitutes true doctrine

In this section, the writer again criticizes the concept of heaven and hell and concludes that reincarnation is the only truth. The Quran has something to say about that as well.

It is He Who takes you back to Himself at night, while knowing the things you perpetrate by day, and then wakes you up again, so that a specified term may be fulfilled. (Surat al-An'am, 6:60)

From this verse we see that every night when we sleep, God takes us back. This is an indication that we dreams as shown to us. Many times we forget the dreams we have seen. Sometimes we remember them later and many times we do not remember them at all. It has happened to many people that when they see something, they feel that it has already happened somewhere, sometime before. The reason for this believed by Hindus is reincarnation but for the Muslims, it is the future seen in the dream that came back when it really happened. Even after seeing such an amazing thing, one doesn’t necessarily remember the forgotten dream but it totally feels as if it has happened before. This supposed reincarnation is in fact forgotten dreams.
Further in this topic, the writer argues that destruction of cities by God due to the people becoming impious is a flaw because no city can be 100% filled with impious people. The writer seems to be picky in verses. He either hasn’t read the whole Quran or is just deliberately trying to deceive the readers. The Quran says that when a city or town is destroyed, the Prophet takes the believers with him and only the evil people are destroyed. The problem here is just picking verses out of context and putting them up with mischievous interpretation.
