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
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].

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)
- 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.
