Didn't Allah have a Basic Education? #11

Didn't Allah have a Basic Education?

- It just doesn't add up: Surah 4:11-12 and 4:176 state the Qur'anic inheritance law. When a man dies, and is leaving behind three daughters, his two parents and his wife, they will receive the respective shares of 2/3 for the 3 daughters together, 1/3 for the parents together [both according to verse 4:11] and 1/8 for the wife [4:12] which adds up to more than the available estate. A second example: A man leaves only his mother, his wife and two sisters, then they receive 1/3 [mother, 4:11], 1/4 [wife, 4:12] and 2/3 [the two sisters, 4:176], which again adds up to 15/12 of the available property.

- In Suras 6:14, 6:163 and 39:12 we are told that Muhammad (born 570 years after Jesus) was the first to bow down to Allah; making him the first Muslim.  But wait, yet earlier in Qur'an passages weren't we already told in the Qur'an that Abraham, his sons and Jacob were former Muslims (Surah 2:132), and that all the earlier prophets (Surah 28:52-53), and Jesus' Jewish disciples (Surah 3:52) were also Allah believing Muslims?.

- Does Allah's day equal to 1,000 human years (Surah 22:47, 32:5) or 50,000 human years (Surah 70:4)?  "Verily a Day in the sight of thy Lord is like a thousand years of your reckoning." Surah 22:47; "The angels and the spirit ascend unto him in the Day the measure whereof is (as) fifty thousand years." Surah 70:4

- Heaven and Earth created?  Surah 2:29 says first earth and then heaven was created.  But wait, Suras 79:27-30 indicate, first heaven was created, and after that earth?.

- To Intercede or Not To Intercede? The Qur'an makes contradictory statements about whether on the Day of Judgment intercession will be possible. No: in Suras: 2:122-123, 254; 6:51; 82:18-19; etc. Yes: in Suras: 20:109; 34:23; 43:86; 53:26; etc. Typically, with Qur'an errors; each position can be further supported/abrogated by a later Hadith.

- Does Allah forgive shirk? Shirk can encompass any object that a person may hold in regard higher than Allah. It is the most severe of sins and will not be forgiven. But the author of the Qur'an seems unable to decide if Allah will ever forgive it or not. No in Suras 4:48 and 4:116; and Yes in Suras 4:153, 25:68-71. Another contradiction: According to lies in Surah 6:76-78 Abraham committed this sin of polytheism as he takes moon, sun, stars to be his Lord.  Yet Muslims believe that all prophets are without any sin!

- In Surah 96:1-2 we read that God made man from a blood clot. But in Surah 21:30 it says man was made from water. And Surah 15:26 says man was made from clay.

- According to Surah 10:90-92, Pharaoh believed "in the sight of death" and was saved. But Surah 4:18 says that such a thing can't happen because Pharaoh did not also repent.

- Will Christians enter Paradise or go to Hell? Suras 2:62 and 5:69 say "Yes" to Paradise.  Surah 5:72 (3 verses later) and Surah 3:85 say "No" to Paradise.

- In Surah 2:234 widows are to keep themselves apart for 4 months and 10 days after their husband's death. In Surah 2:240 it is one year. 

- Allah, the god revealed in the Quran, is not a loving father.  It says that he desires to lead people astray (Surah 6:39, 125-126)

- YES: Believers, Jews, Sabaeans and Christians - whoever believes in God and the Last Day and does what is right - shall have nothing to fear or regret. Surah 5:69

- NO: Unbelievers are those that say: "God is the Messiah, the son of Mary." For the Messiah himself said: "Children of Israel, serve God, my Lord and your Lord." He that worships other gods besides God, God will deny him Paradise, and the fire shall be his home. None shall help the evil-doers. Surah 5:72
- Wine: Good or bad?  Suras 5:90-91 and 2:219 - Strong drink and ... are only an infamy of Satan's handiwork. . Suras 47:15, and 83:22, 25 - Yet on the other hand in Paradise are rivers of wine. How does Satan's handiwork get into Paradise?  Surah 2:219 also says there is profit in intoxicants.

Contrast these blunders in the Qur'an (Koran) showing this book is not inspired by God with this example of something really divinely inspired and accurate from the Jewish/Christian Bible:

Millions of Europeans died of leprosy for hundreds of years.  Some physicians thought the cause was eating hot food or the meat of diseased hogs.  Others blamed malign conjunction of the planets.  Approximately 60 million people died from the BLACK DEATH in the 14th century. 

God divinely revealed in the Jewish Old Testament thousands of years earlier that the solution to leprosy and the black plague was separating those infected and proper hygiene, such as burying things that come in contact with infected individuals :

"Once the condition of leprosy has been established, the patient was to be segregated and excluded from the community..."

For centuries in Europe, multitudes perished because of improper hygiene, sanitation and sloppy hospitals.  In many villages, human excrement and waste was dumped into the streets, bringing deadly epidemics of typhoid, cholera and dysentery.


The solution to the problem, the burying of wastes, and separating people, had been given by God 3500 years before (in Deuteronomy 23:12-13)
