Other notable errors in the Qur'an: #12

 Other notable errors in the Qur'an:

Flip Flops: The origin of calamity? Is the evil in our life from Satan [Surah 38:41]; Ourselves [Surah 4:79]; or Allah [Surah 4:78]?  Can slander of chaste women be forgiven? Yes [Surah 24:5], No [Surah 24:23].

Abrogation? "The words of the Lord are perfect in truth and justice; there is NONE who can change His words" (Surah 6:115).  Also see Suras 6:34, 10:64, and 50:28,29. But then Allah (or Muhammad?) sees the need to exchange some of them for "better ones" (Suras 2:106, 16:101). And it is not for ignorant people to question Allah because of such practices!  Let us Reason.  How can a divine revelation be improved upon? If divine, would it not have been perfect from the start?

Suras 6:34, 6:115, 10:64 and 50:28,29 clearly says to Muslims, "No change can there be in the words of Allah" and that Allah cannot alter (or abrogate) his words."  So the Torah and Christian Gospels are correct, because Allah did verify this fact -- this clearly makes the Muslim Qur'an is false; because it contradicts Allah.

- Consider the change of amount of days creation took, first from 6 days (Suras 7:54, 10:3, 11:7, and 25:59) and then it gets changed to 8 days (Suras 41:9-12).  Is someone not playing with a full deck?

- Allah can have a son. (Surah 39:4).  Allah can't have a son. (Surah 6:101, and 25:2).

- All angels obey Allah. (Surah 16:49-50). Not all angels obey Allah. (Surah 2:34)

- In Surah 19:19-22, the human Mary was told she would have an "immaculate conception," or be impregnated by Allah. Yet, Surah 6:100-101 denies that Allah could have a son or daughter through mortals.

- Face Mecca while praying. (Surah 2:144).  Face Jerusalem while praying.  Originally Muhammad instructed Muslims to face Jerusalem when praying; probably because Solomon established the practice of praying while facing Jerusalem (1 Kings 8:29, 30, 44; 2 Chronicles 6:21; Daniel 6:10).  Apparently, Muhammad believed at first that God wanted him to pray facing Jerusalem and he did so for nearly 16-17 months - at least while he thought the he could convert the Jews to his religion. However, later, when the Jews rebuffed him Muhammad preferred to pray towards the Ka'ba in Mecca which, during this point in time, contained 360 idols.

Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 392:

Narrated Bara' bin 'Azib:
Allah's Apostle prayed facing Baitul-Maqdis for sixteen or seventeen months but he loved to face the Ka'ba (at Mecca) so Allah revealed: "Verily, We have seen the turning of your face to the heaven!" (2:144) So the Prophet faced the Ka'ba and the fools amongst the people namely "the Jews" said, "What has turned them from their Qibla (Bait-ul-Maqdis) which they formerly observed"" (Allah revealed): "Say: 'To Allah belongs the East and the West. He guides whom he will to a straight path'." (2:142) A man prayed with the Prophet (facing the Ka'ba) and went out. He saw some of the Ansar praying the 'Asr prayer with their faces towards Bait-ul-Maqdis, he said, "I bear witness that I prayed with Allah's Apostle facing the Ka'ba." So all the people turned their faces towards the Ka'ba.

- Is Jesus a Prophet or not?  Will Jesus burn in hell? In Surah 4:158 Jesus is raised to Allah, and in Surah 3:45 Jesus is stationed near Allah. Jesus is worshiped by billions of Christians.  Yet Surah 21:98 says, that all that are worshiped by men besides Allah will burn in Hell together with those who worship them.  Or, is Jesus Allah, the same substance with the Father?

- Did Jesus Die or Not? Surah 3:144 is quite adamant that all messengers died before Muhammad. But then Surah 4:158 claims that Jesus was raised to God (alive?) and 4:157 falsely says Jesus did not die.

- In Surah 4:157 we read that Jesus certainly did not die, yet in Surah 19:33 we read that not only did he die, but he arose again! 19:33 reads about Jesus: "And peace be upon me the day I was born, the day I die, and the day I get resurrected."

- What is the punishment for adultery? Surah 24:2 -Flogging with a 100 stripes (men and women); Surah 4:15 -"confine them to houses until death do claim them (lifelong house arrest - for the women); Surah 4:16 - For men: "If they repent and amend, leave them alone".  Surah 24:2 contradicts both the procedure for women and men in Surah 4:15. And why is the punishment for women and men equal in Surah 24.2 but different in Surah 4:15?

- In Surah 19:67, "But does not man call to mind that We created him before out of nothing?."  In Surah 15:26, man is created from clay (We created man from sounding clay, from mud molded into shape;)."  Since clay is something, we have a contradiction since "nothing" excludes the possibility of "clay."

- The Koran is a divine revelation with no errors.  Hmm!  "This Qur'an is not such as can be produced by other than Allah; on the contrary, it is a confirmation of (revelations) that went before it, and a fuller explanation of the Book - wherein there is no doubt - from the Lord of the worlds" Surah 1:37; and "The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom" Surah 45:2 .  But then look at this.  "Never have We sent a prophet or apostle to you with whose wishes Satan did not tamper.  But Allah abrogates the interjections of Satan and confirms His own revelations." Surah 22:52
