SKANDAL Aiša (la) rekla u Kur'anu Časnom nedostaje Ajet!!!
Menja li Allah svoje rjeci?
NE
Sura 4:82 Pa zašto ne razmisle o Kur’anu? A da je od nekog drugog mimo Allaha, sigurno bi u njemu našli proturječnost mnogu.
On je Taj koji ti objavljuje Knjigu. Od nje su ajeti jasni - oni su majka Knjige, a drugi su nejasni. Pa što se tiče onih u srcima čijim je skretanje, ta slijediće šta je nejasno iz nje, tražeći fitneluk i tražeći joj tumačenje (svoje); a zna tumačenje njeno samo Allah. A jaki u nauci govore: "Vjerujemo u nju; sve je od Gospodara našeg" - a ne shvataju, izuzev posjednici razuma.
Moja Riječ se ne mijenja i Ja nisam prema robovima Svojim nepravičan.
A kad im se kazuju ajeti Naši, koji su jasni, onda govore oni koji ne vjeruju da će pred Nas stati: "Donesi ti kakav drugi Kur'an ili ga izmijeni!" – Reci: "Nezamislivo je da ga ja sam od sebe mijenjam, ja slijedim samo ono što mi se objavljuje, ja se bojim – ako budem neposlušan svome Gospodaru – patnje na Velikom danu.
za njih su dobre vijesti i na ovome i na onome svijetu – Allahove riječi niko ne može izmijeniti – to će, zaista, velik uspjeh biti
I recitiraj šta ti se objavljuje iz Knjige Gospodara tvog. Nema izmjenitelja za Riječi Njegove, i nećeš naći mimo Njega (nikakvo) utočište.
DA
I kad zamijenimo ajet umjesto ajeta - a Allah je Najbolji znalac onog šta spušta - kažu: "Samo si ti izmišljač." Naprotiv, većina njih ne zna.
Mi nijedan propis ne promijenimo, niti ga u zaborav potisnemo, a da bolji od njega ili sličan njemu ne donesemo. Zar ti ne znaš da Allah sve može?

قَالَتْ رَبِّ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِي وَلَدٌ وَلَمْ يَمْسَسْنِي بَشَرٌ ۖ قَالَ كَذَٰلِكِ اللَّهُ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَاءُ ۚ إِذَا قَضَىٰ أَمْرًا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ

ona reče: "Gospodaru moj, kako ću imati dijete kada me nijedan muškarac nije dodirnuo?" – "Eto tako" – reče – "Allah stvara što On hoće. Kada nešto odluči, On samo za to rekne: 'Budi!' – i ono bude."
Mlivo:
Reče: "Gospodaru moj! Otkud meni dijete, a nije me dotakao čovjek?" Reče: "Istovjetno!" Allah stvara šta hoće. Kad odluči stvar, tad samo kaže tome: "Budi!", tad biva.

Korkut:
On je stvoritelj nebesa i Zemlje! Otkud Njemu dijete kad nema žene, On sve stvara, i samo On sve zna.
Mlivo:
Začetnik nebesa i Zemlje! Otkud Njemu dijete, a On nema družice?, a stvorio je svaku stvar i On je o svakoj stvari Znalac.

Proturječnosti u Kur'anu
Svrha ove stranice
Mi ne odbacujemo Kur'an zbog ove liste kontradiktornosti. Postoje mnogi razlozi mnogo značajnije prirode zašto ne vjerujemo da je Kur'an od jedinog istinskog Boga. Naći ćete one o kojima se govori na drugim stranicama ove web stranice (npr. [ 1 ], [ 2 ]). Ova stranica nije namijenjena napadu na Kur'an. Nažalost, mnogi muslimani su postali nepotrebno otežani jer nisu razumjeli svrhu ove zbirke.
Moje je iskustvo da mnogi muslimani pokušavaju izbjeći raspravu o pravim pitanjima u vezi s istinom islama i kršćanstva gurajući nam u lice "101 biblijsku kontradikciju" (ili slične kompilacije). Muslimanske web stranice obiluju člancima i zbirkama koje napadaju integritet Biblije pomoću popisa kontradikcija . Mnogi imaju stav da "budući da je Biblija prožeta proturječjima, pogreškama, apsurdima i problemima, nema potrebe da se trudim razumjeti je". S takvim stavom ne može se razviti pravi dijalog. Naš je cilj prijeći dalje od površnih igara riječima na raspravu o relevantnim ključnim pitanjima oko kojih se ne slažemo.
Uglavnom se pokazalo beskorisnim objašnjavati jedan skup proturječja jer uvijek postoji još jedno koje se može dodati popisu. Važno je moći dati objašnjenja teških biblijskih odlomaka, uključujući i one koji se čine proturječnima. Naporno radimo na pružanju dobrih odgovora na iskrena pitanja u našem Biblijskom komentaru i odjeljku o navodnim biblijskim proturječjima . Međutim, odbacivanje Biblije od strane većine muslimana nije utemeljeno na takvim popisima kontradikcija. Za većinu muslimana ovo odbacivanje je sastavni dio njihove vjere puno prije nego što su ikada vidjeli bilo kakve takve "kontradikcije". Ti se popisi obično koriste samo kao zgodno sredstvo za opravdanje odbijanja Biblije što bi inače bilo vrlo teško racionalno objasniti.
Suprotstavljanje ovom izbjegavajućem ili čak neprijateljskom stavu je svrha ove stranice. Ako obje strane mogu doći do spoznaje da njihova vlastita knjiga, spis koji je temelj njihove vjere, bilo da se radi o Bibliji ili Kur'anu, sadrži neke vrlo teške odlomke koji bi čak mogli izgledati kao obične pogreške ili logičke kontradikcije (ovisno na razini neprijateljstva koja se koristi kada je gledamo), tada bismo mogli biti spremniji prema drugima i biti motivirani da ne osuđujemo prerano, već da se ozbiljno potrudimo razumjeti svaku od knjiga i suštinska učenja dotične vjere u dublje prije nego što dođemo do odluke zašto im vjerujemo ili ne vjerujemo.
Rasprave o proturječjima rijetko su plodonosne jer su ljudi skloni inzistirati na čitanju tekstova protivnika na najrigidniji i najdoslovniji način kako bi ispali loši, dok su vrlo popustljivi prema vlastitoj knjizi, dopuštajući dodatne pretpostavke, metaforička tumačenja i druga sredstva da nekako nekako objasnite kako se to može razumjeti, a da to ne bude kontradikcija.
Neki muslimani su svojim odgovorima dokazali da posjeduju prilično genijalan i kreativan um. Na našim čitateljima je da odluče jesu li ponuđeni odgovori za njih u potpunosti zadovoljavajući ili ne. Nije na meni da tu odluku donosim u njihovo ime. To je jedan od razloga zašto neću ukloniti čak ni one proturječnosti za koje smatram da su odgovorene na moje osobno zadovoljstvo. Drugi razlog je taj što će zadržavanje učinkovito riješenih proturječja na ovoj stranici pomoći muslimanima i kršćanima koji ne znaju moguće odgovore na proturječja s kojima su se susreli drugdje, da ih pronađu ovdje. Kao takva, ova stranica može biti vrijedan izvor i za kršćane i za muslimane, slično raznim kršćanskim stranicama o naizgled biblijskim proturječjima. Za usporedbu sličnog sa sličnim, iznijet ću najjači mogući argument za nešto što je kontradiktorno i pogrešno, slično muslimanskim napadima na Bibliju. Razlika u odnosu na muslimanske web stranice je što mi dajemo pravo na odgovor .
Naša je molitva da čak i ova stranica pomogne muslimanima i kršćanima da napreduju u međusobnom razumijevanju, da dođu do ispravne perspektive u vezi s "pitanjem kontradikcija" i do spoznaje koja su prava pitanja na koja se trebamo usredotočiti u našim dijalozima i rasprave.
Nakon što smo razjasnili svrhu ove stranice, sada izazivamo naše muslimanske prijatelje sljedećom kompilacijom da promisle o svom pristupu utvrđivanju istine Svetog pisma.
Uvod
Budući da Biblija naizgled sadrži pogreške , stoga Biblija nije Božja riječ. S druge strane, u Kur'anu nema nedosljednosti i to je dokaz da je Kur'an od Boga jer Sura 4:82 kaže:
Zar ne razmišljaju o Kur'anu?
Da je bilo od drugoga, a ne od Allaha,
oni bi sigurno našli mnogo neslaganja u tome.
Vidi također ovu muslimansku prezentaciju: Izazov bez proturječja u Kur'anu .
Ali stvarnost nije tako jednostavna kao što bi mnogi htjeli da vjerujemo.
Tri su osnovne kategorije kontradikcija u Kur'anu:
-
Unutarnja proturječja : Stihovi koji proturječe jedni drugima ili zakonima logike
-
Vanjske pogreške : Stihovi koji su u suprotnosti s činjenicama iz povijesti ili znanosti
Dalje: Proturječnosti između muslimanskih tradicija i Kur'ana
Za vašu udobnost: preuzmite sve kontradikcije u .zip formatu.
Ako ste u stanju riješiti na vlastito zadovoljstvo ovdje predstavljene probleme Kur'ana, tada ćete vjerojatno moći razumjeti da kršćani mogu uz sličan napor objasniti na vlastito zadovoljstvo većinu poteškoća u Bibliji. Pokušajte biti pošteni i procijenite Bibliju jednakim mjerilom kao i Kur'an. Ne sudite o tome strožim kriterijima nego što ste spremni koristiti kada čitate Kur'an. Još bolje, čitajte Bibliju da biste razumjeli njezino značenje i poruku, a ne da joj prigovarate na tako površnim razinama.
Razmislite o ovome: greške u Bibliji dokazuju da Kur'an nije od Boga .
Na nekoliko iznesenih problema muslimanski odgovori dostupni su na našim stranicama. Poveznice na pojedinačne odgovore obično se nalaze na dnu stranica koje se bave određenim problemom. Ako želite doprinijeti svojim osobnim odgovorom na jednu od tema u nastavku, moram inzistirati da to učinite u ovom formatu, također navodeći moju politiku o povezivanju ili prikazivanju muslimanskih odgovora, kao i pitanje korištenja engleskog prijevoda Kur'ana . Ali neki misle da je moja ponuda nepoštena . Dostupni su daljnji muslimanski odgovori na ovu stranicu sa sažetkom.
Važna napomena: Ovo je stranica s pregledom koja daje samo kratke sažetke uočenih proturječja. Prije nego što odgovorite na bilo koju od njih, prvo kliknite na poveznicu na detaljnu raspravu o pojedinoj kontradikciji!
Unutarnje kontradikcije:
-
Tko trpi gubitak ako je Muhammed pogriješio? Sura 34:50 naređuje Muhamedu da kaže: "Ako zalutam, zalutao sam samo na svoju štetu", što je teška činjenična pogreška u Kur'anu, kao iu suprotnosti s učenjem Kur'ana u velikom broju drugih stihova.
-
Allah, Adem i meleki . Postoji veliki broj problema i nedosljednosti između nekoliko izvještaja o stvaranju Adema, Allahove naredbe da se klanja Ademu, Šejtanovo odbijanje, itd.
-
Tko je bio prvi musliman? Muhammed [6:14, 163], Mojsije [7:143], neki Egipćani [26:51], ili Abraham [2:127-133, 3:67] ili Adam, prvi čovjek koji je također primio nadahnuće od Allaha [ 2:37]?
-
Može li se Allah vidjeti i da li je Muhammed vidio svoga Gospodara? Da [S. 53:1-18, 81:15-29], Ne [6:102-103, 42:51].
-
Jesu li upozorenja poslana cijelom čovječanstvu prije Muhameda? Allah je navodno poslao upozorenja svakom narodu [10:47, 16:35-36, 35:24], za Abrahama i Ismaila se konkretno tvrdi da su posjetili Meku i sagradili Kabu [2:125-129]. Ipak, Muhammed je navodno poslan narodu koji nikada prije nije imao glasnika [28:46, 32:3, 34:44, 36:2-6]. Ovaj članak također pokreće druga pitanja: Što je s Hudom i Salihom koji su navodno bili poslani Arapima? Što je s Knjigom koja je navodno dana Ismaelu? itd.
-
Što će biti hrana za ljude u paklu? Hrana za ljude u paklu bit će samo "Dhari" [Sura 88:6], ili samo odvratni gnoj od ispiranja rana [S. 69:36], ili će također dobiti hranu sa stabla Zaqqum [S. 37:66]? Zajedno, ovi stihovi čine tri kontradikcije.
-
Mogu li anđeli uzrokovati smrt ljudi? Kur'an napada one koji obožavaju bilo koga osim Boga (npr. meleke ili proroke) jer oni ne mogu niti stvoriti, niti dati život, niti učiniti da iko umre. Ipak, Kur'an izričito kaže da jedan melek ili više meleka uzrokuju smrt određenih ljudi [Sura 4:97, 16:28, 32, 32:11].
-
Zbunjenost u vezi s identitetom Duha i Gabriela (duga rasprava o desecima referenci)
-
'Čini se da su iddah pravila za razvedene i udovice proizvoljna i nedosljedna.
-
Ženiti se ili ne ženiti? Kur'an zabranjuje vjernicima da se žene idolopoklonicama [Sura 2:221], a kršćane naziva idolopoklonicima i nevjernicima [9:28-33], ali ipak dopušta muslimanima da se žene kršćankama [5:5].
-
Hoće li Allah nagraditi dobra djela nevjernika? S. 9:17 i 9:69 jasno govore ne. Međutim, S. 99:7 implicira da. Štoviše, S. 2:62 obećava kršćanima nagradu za njihova dobra djela. Ali S. 9:28-33; 5:17, 72-73 naziva kršćane idolopoklonicima, a S. 9:17 je vrlo jasan da idolopoklonici neće imati nagradu.
-
Trebaju li muslimani pokazivati dobrotu prema svojim roditeljima? S jedne strane, Kur'an naređuje svim muslimanima da pokažu dobrotu prema svojim roditeljima, čak i ako su nevjernici [17:23-24, 31:14-15, 29:8, itd.]. S druge strane, zahtijeva da se ne pokazuje nikakva ljubav ili prijateljstvo prema onima koji se suprotstavljaju Muhammedu, čak i ako su im roditelji [9:23, 58:22].
-
Može li se u isto vrijeme biti vjernik u Boga i suprotstaviti se Muhamedu?
-
Koliko majki ima musliman? Samo jedan [58:2, žena koja je rodila i nitko drugi], ili dva [4:23, uključujući majku koja ga je dojila], ili barem deset [33:6]?
-
I jednostavno se ne zbraja: Sura 4:11-12 i 4:176 navode kur'anski zakon nasljeđivanja. Kada čovjek umre i iza sebe ostavi tri kćeri, svoja dva roditelja i svoju ženu, oni će dobiti odgovarajuće udjele od 2/3 za 3 kćeri zajedno, 1/3 za roditelje zajedno [oboje prema ajetu 4:11 ] i 1/8 za ženu [4:12] što je više od dostupnog imetka. Drugi primjer: Čovjek ostavlja samo svoju majku, svoju ženu i dvije sestre, zatim oni dobivaju 1/3 [majka, 4:11], 1/4 [žena, 4:12] i 2/3 [dvije sestre, 4:176], što opet iznosi 15/12 raspoložive imovine.
-
Koliko je anđela razgovaralo s Marijom? Kada Kur'an govori o navještaju rođenja Isusa djevici Mariji, Sura 3:42,45 govori o (nekoliko) anđela , dok je u Suri 19:17-21 samo jedan. (Ovaj članak je dobio mnoge muslimanske odgovore koji su citirani ili povezani i/ili raspravljeni na kraju članka.)
-
Daljnja brojčana odstupanja Da li je Allahov dan jednak 1.000 ljudskih godina (Sura 22:47, 32:5) ili 50.000 ljudskih godina (Sura 70:4)? --- Prema suri 56:7 postojat će TRI različite grupe ljudi na Posljednjem sudu, ali 90:18-19, 99:6-8 itd. spominju samo DVIJE grupe. --- Postoje oprečna mišljenja o tome ko uzima duše u trenutku smrti: Anđeo smrti [32:11], anđeli (množina) [47:27] ali također "Allah je taj koji uzima duše (ljudi) u smrt." [39:42] Anđeli imaju 2, 3 ili 4 para krila [35:1]; ali Gabriel je imao 600 krila. [Sahih Buhari, tom 4, knjiga 54, broj 455]
-
Koliko je dana trebalo Allahu da uništi stanovnike Ada? Jedan dan [54:19] ili nekoliko dana [41:16; 69:6,7]
-
Šest ili osam dana stvaranja? Sura 7:54, 10:3, 11:7 i 25:59 jasno kažu da je Bog stvorio "nebo i zemlju" za šest dana. Ali u 41:9-12 detaljan opis postupka stvaranja dodaje do osam dana. (Ova tema također uključuje mnoge muslimanske odgovore i daljnju raspravu.)
-
Brzo ili sporo stvaranje? Allah stvara nebesa i Zemlju u šest dana [7:54] i mnogi muslimani žele biti moderni i znanstveni, i učiniti to šest eona, ali opet, On stvara trenutno [2:117], "Budi! I to je ".
-
Nebesa ili Zemlja? Koji je prvi nastao? Prvo zemlja pa nebo [2:29], nebo pa nakon toga zemlja [79:27-30].
-
Sazivati se ili razdvajati? U procesu stvaranja nebo i zemlja su prvo bili odvojeni i pozvani su da se spoje [41:11], dok 21:30 navodi da su izvorno bili jedan komad, a zatim su se razdvojili.
-
Od čega je stvoren čovjek? Krvni ugrušak [96:1-2], voda [21:30, 24:45, 25:54], "zvučna" (tj. spaljena) glina [15:26], prašina [3:59, 30:20, 35:11], ništa [19:67] i to je zatim odbijeno u 52:35, zemlja [11:61], kap zgusnute tekućine [16:4, 75:37]
-
Potpuno detaljno ili nepotpuno? Kur'an za sebe tvrdi da je (potpuno) detaljan, da ništa nije izostavljeno iz knjige [6:38, 6:114, 12:111, 16:89 itd.]. Međutim, postoji mnogo važnih pitanja koja su ostala nejasna u Kur'anu. Ovaj članak raspravlja o zabuni koja se nalazi u kur'anskim izjavama o vinu.
-
Štovanje istog ili drugog Boga? Muhammedu je naređeno da govori nevjernicima: ... niti vi obožavate ono što ja obožavam [109:3]. Međutim, drugi stihovi u Kur'anu jasno govore da oni koji ne vjeruju u njegovu poruku zapravo obožavaju istog Boga, Allaha.
-
Da li je mekanski mnogobožac vjerovao da je Allah vrhovno biće?
-
Posredovati ili ne posredovati? - To je pitanje! Kur'an daje kontradiktorne izjave da li će na Sudnjem danu biti moguće zagovaranje. Br: [2:122-123, 254; 6:51; 82:18-19; itd.]. Da: [20:109; 34:23; 43:86; 53:26; itd.]. Svaki stav može biti dodatno potkrijepljen hadisom.
-
Kako islamska doktrina posredovanja potkopava Allahovo sveznanje
-
Gdje je Allah i njegovo prijestolje? Allah je bliži od vratne vene [50:16], ali je također na prijestolju [57:4] koji je na vodi [11:7], au isto vrijeme tako daleko, da je potrebno između 1.000 i 50.000 godina do njega [32:5, 70:4].
-
Podrijetlo nesreće? Je li zlo u našem životu od šejtana [38:41], nas samih [4:79] ili Allaha [4:78]?
-
Koliko je Allahova milost milostiva? On je sebi propisao milost [6:12], ali neke ne upućuje na pravi put, iako bi mogao [6:35, 14:4].
-
Da li Allah naređuje da se čini zlo? Ne [7:28, 16:90]. Da [17:16, ]. Također su navedena dva primjera, gdje je Allah jasno naredio ili dopustio nepristojne radnje [2:229-230, 2:187].
-
Hoće li biti istrage u Džennetu? "niti će ispitivati jedni druge" [23:101] ali će ipak biti "uključeni u međusobno ispitivanje" [52:25], "i oni će ... ispitivati jedni druge" [37:27].
-
Jesu li anđeli zaštitnici? "NEMA zaštitnika osim Allaha" [2:107, 29:22]. Ali u Suri 41:31 sami anđeli kažu: "Mi smo vaši zaštitnici u ovom životu i na onom." I također u drugim surama njihova uloga je opisana kao čuvanje [13:11, 50:17-18] i zaštita [82:10].
-
Je li Allah jedini Wali? S jedne strane, Allah je navodno jedini vali (zaštitnik, pomagač, prijatelj) [9:116, 17:111, 32:4, 42:28], s druge strane, poslanik i vjernici su veli [5]. :55, 9:71], Allah ima valis [10:62], i on podiže valis [4:75].
-
Da li su svi Allahu poslušni i na sedždi? To je tvrdnja u 16:49 i 30:26, ali deseci stihova govore o ponosnoj neposlušnosti Sotone [7:11, 15:28-31, 17:61, 20:116, 38:71-74, 18 :50] kao i mnogih različitih ljudskih bića koja odbacuju Njegove naredbe i Njegove objave.
-
Da li Allah prašta širk? Širk se smatra najgorim od svih grijeha, ali čini se da autor Kur'ana nije u stanju odlučiti hoće li ga Allah ikada oprostiti ili ne. Ne [4:48, 116], Da [4:153, 25:68-71]. Abraham je počinio ovaj grijeh politeizma jer uzima mjesec, sunce, zvijezde za svog Gospodara [6:76-78], ali muslimani vjeruju da su svi proroci bez ikakvog grijeha.

Događaj obožavanja zlatnog teleta: Izraelci su se pokajali zbog obožavanja zlatnog teleta PRIJE nego se Mojsije vratio s brda [7:149], ali su odbili da se pokaju, već su radije nastavili obožavati tele dok se Mojsije nije vratio [20:91] . Dijeli li Aron njihovu krivnju? Ne [20:85-90], da [20:92, 7:151].
-
Je li Jona bačen na pustinjsku obalu ili nije? "Zatim smo ga bacili na obalu pustinju dok je bio bolestan" [37:145] "Da ga nije stigla blagodat od Gospodara njegova, on bi doista bio izbačen na obalu golu dok je bio nevjernik." [68:49]
-
Mojsije i Indžil? Isus je rođen više od 1000 godina nakon Mojsija, ali u 7:157 Allah govori Mojsiju o onome što je zapisano u Indžilu [knjiga data Isusu].
-
Može li se kleveta čednih žena oprostiti? Da [24:5], Ne [24:23].
-
Kako ćemo primiti zapis na Sudnjem danu? Na Sudnjem danu izgubljenim ljudima se daje Zapis (njihovih loših djela): Iza njihovih leđa [84:10], ili u njihovoj lijevoj ruci [69:25].
-
Mogu li anđeli biti neposlušni? Nijedan melek nije ohol, svi se pokoravaju Allahu [16:49-50], ali: "I evo, rekli smo ANĐELIMA: 'Poklonite se Ademu'. I ONI su se poklonili, OSIM Iblisa. On je to odbio i uzoholio se. " [2:34]. Ovaj članak uključuje poveznice na odgovore na četiri muslimanska odgovora.
-
Koliko krila ima anđeo? Anđeli imaju 2, 3 ili 4 krila [35:1]; ali Gabriel je imao 600 krila prema Sahih al-Bukhariju .
-
Tri kontradikcije u 2:97 i 16:101-103 Ko donosi objavu od Allaha Muhammedu? ANĐEO Gabriel [2:97] ili Sveti Duh [16:102]? Nova objava potvrđuje staru [2:97] ili je zamjenjuje [16:101]? Kur'an je ČISTI arapski [16:103] ali u njemu postoje brojne strane, nearapske riječi.
-
Ne govori, "Tri"! ? Nemoguće je recitirati suru 4:171 a da se ne prekrši naredba sadržana u njoj.
-
Problem beskonačne petlje Sura 26:192,195,196: "On (Kur'an) je doista objava od Gospodara svjetova, ... u jasnom arapskom govoru i doista je TO (Kur'an) u spisima ranije (proroci)." Sada, 'raniji spisi' su Tora i Indžil na primjer, napisani na hebrejskom i grčkom. KAKO ARAPSKI Kur'an može biti sadržan u knjigama na drugim jezicima? Nadalje, morao bi sadržavati upravo ovaj odlomak Kur'ana budući da je Kur'an ispravno sadržan u njima. Stoga ovi raniji spisi moraju biti sadržani u drugim ranijim spisima i mi smo u beskonačnoj petlji, što je apsurdno.
-
Da li je Tora kao Kur'an ili nije? Muslimanska tvrdnja o iskrivljenosti Biblije dovodi do kontradikcije između S. 2:24 i 17:88 s jedne strane, i 28:49 i 46:10 s druge strane.
-
"Starica" i Božji karakter O priči o Lotu: "Tako smo izbavili njega i njegovu obitelj, - sve osim starice koja je ostala iza." [Sura 26:170-171] I opet: "Ali spasili smo njega i njegovu obitelj, osim njegove žene: ona je bila od onih koji su zaostali. [Sura 7:83]. Ili je ovo kontradikcija ili je Lotova žena doista pogrdno nazvana "staricom" onda to ne pokazuje puno poštovanja prema njoj kao ženi proroka.
-
Više problema s pričom o Lotu "A njegov narod nije dao odgovor NIJEDAN osim ovoga: Rekli su: "Otjeraj ih iz svoga grada: to su zaista ljudi koji žele biti čisti i čisti!" [Sura 7:82 & 27:56 ]. Ipak: "Ali njegov narod nije dao odgovor osim ovoga: Rekli su: "Rasrdite nas Allahovu srdžbu ako govorite istinu." [Sura 29:29]. Očito su ti odgovori različiti.
-
Allahovo "zadovoljstvo"? Je li Božje djelovanje kazne ili milosti i vodstva ili pogrešnog vodstva proizvoljno?
-
Je li Abraham razbio idole? Izvještaji o Abrahamu, Sure 19:41-49, 6:74-83 prilično se razlikuju od Sure 21:51-59. Dok se u suri 21 Abraham snažno sukobljava sa svojim narodom, pa čak i uništava idole, u suri 19 Abraham šuti nakon što mu je njegov otac zaprijetio da će ga kamenovati jer je govorio protiv idola. I čini se da ne samo postaje tih, nego čak napušta područje ("okrećući se od svih njih").
-
Što je s Noinim sinom? Prema suri 21:76, Noa i njegova obitelj su spašeni od potopa, a sura 37:77 potvrđuje da je njegovo sjeme preživjelo. Ali Sura 11:42-43 izvještava da se Noin sin utopio.
-
Je li Noa bio protjeran? "Prije njih *Nuhov narod* je odbacio (njihovog poslanika): Odbacili su Našeg roba i rekli: 'Evo opsjednutog!' I otjeran je." [Sura 54:9] Sad, ako bude otjeran [protjeran iz svoje zemlje] kako to da mu se mogu rugati dok gradi kovčeg budući da čitamo "Odmah on (počinje) graditi kovčeg: Svaki put kada poglavice *njegov narod* je prošao kraj njega, ismijavali su ga." [Sura 11:38] On ne može biti oboje: Istjeran i dovoljno blizu da mogu redovno prolaziti.
-
Faraonovi čarobnjaci: Muslimani ili odbacivači vjere? Jesu li faraonovi čarobnjaci, Egipćani, povjerovali u Mojsijevog Boga [7:103-126; 20:56-73; S. 26:29-51] ili su samo Izraelci vjerovali u Mojsija [10:83]?
-
Faraonovo pokajanje pred smrću? Prema suri 10:90-92, faraon se pokajao "uoči smrti" i bio spašen. Ali Sura 4:18 kaže da se takvo što ne može dogoditi.
-
Poništenje? "Riječi Gospodnje savršene su u istini i pravdi; NIJEDAN ne može promijeniti Njegove riječi." [Sura 6:115] Također vidi 6:34 i 10:64. Ali tada Allah (Muhammed?) vidi potrebu da neke od njih zamijeni za "bolje" [Sura 2:106, 16:101]. A nije na neznalicama da Allaha ispituju zbog takvih postupaka!
-
Usmjeravanje do istine? "Reci: 'Allah - On upućuje istini; a koja je vrijednija da se slijedi...?" [Sura 10:35] Ali koliko je ostalo od ove dostojnosti kada također pročitamo: "Allah odvodi u zabludu koga hoće, i upućuje na pravi put koga hoće, ..." [Sura 14:4]. A kako da znamo u koju od Allahovih kategorija zadovoljstva spadamo? Koliko musliman može biti siguran da je jedan od onih koji su na pravom putu, a ne od onih koji su zalutali?
-
Kakva je kazna za preljub? Bičevanje sa 100 udaraca (muškaraca i žena) [24:2], "zatvorite ih u kuće dok ih smrt ne odnese (doživotni kućni pritvor - za žene) [4:15]. Za muškarce: "Ako se pokaju i poprave , ostavi ih na miru" [4:16]. 24:2 proturječi i postupku za žene i muškarce u suri 4. I zašto je kazna za žene i muškarce jednaka u suri 24, ali različita u suri 4?
-
Problem božanske suverenosti, predestinacije, spasenja i ljudske slobodne volje
-
Tko trpi posljedice grijeha? Kur'an objavljuje da će svatko biti odgovoran samo za vlastite grijehe [S. 17:13-15, 53:38-42]. Ipak, Kur'an optužuje Židove Muhammedovog doba za grijehe koje su prije nekih 2000 godina počinili drugi Židovi, npr. štovanje idola Zlatnog teleta.
-
Hoće li kršćani ući u raj ili u pakao? Sura 2:62 i 5:69 govore "Da", Sura 5:72 (samo 3 ajeta kasnije) i 3:85 govore "Ne".
-
Samo Bog ili i ljudi? Jasno ili nerazumljivo? Kur'an je "jasan arapski govor". [16:103] Ipak, "NIKO ne zna njegovo tumačenje, osim Allaha." [3:7]. Zapravo, "ljudi od razumijevanja to shvaćaju." [3:7]
-
Je li se faraon utopio ili spasio dok je jurio Mojsija i Izraelce? Spašen [10:92], utopljen [28:40, 17:103, 43:55].
-
Kada je faraon zapovjedio ubijanje sinova? Kada je Mojsije bio prorok i govorio Božju istinu faraonu [40:23-25] ili kada je još bio dijete [20:38-39]?
-
Kada/kako se određuju sudbine?"Noć kadra bolja je od hiljadu mjeseci. U nju silaze meleki i duh, dozvolom Gospodara svoga, sa svim naredbama." [97:3,4] "Uistinu, Mi smo ga objavili u mubarek noći." [44:3] Za muslimane, "Noć kadra" je mubarek noć u kojoj se rješavaju sudbine i u kojoj se odlučuje sve što se tiče života, smrti itd., a što se događa tokom godine. Kaže se da je to noć u kojoj se Allahove odredbe za godinu spuštaju na zemaljski nivo. Drugim riječima, stvari o stvaranju se određuju svake godine. Suprotstavljajući se ovome, Sura 57:22 kaže: "Nikakva nevolja ne zadesi Zemlju niti vas, nego je u Knjizi prije nego što je stvorimo." To znači da je zapisano u Sačuvanoj Ploči, potpuno fiksirano u Allahovom znanju prije nego što je iko stvoren. Sve navedeno je u suprotnosti sa "I svakom čovjeku smo sudbinu za vrat pričvrstili." Ovo govori da je čovjek sam odgovoran za ono što čini i što mu se događa. [17:13]
-
Vino: dobro ili loše? Žestoko piće i ... samo su sramota Sotonina djela . [5:90, također 2:219]. Ipak, s druge strane u Džennetu su rijeke vina [47:15, također 83:22,25]. Kako Sotonino djelo dospijeva u raj?
-
Dobre vijesti o bolnom mučenju? Očito je najavljivati muku i patnju bilo kome loša, a ne dobra vijest. Međutim, Kur'an najavljuje radosnu vijest o bolnim mukama [3:21, 4:138, 9:3, 9:34, 31:7, 45:8 i 84:24].
-
Džini i ljudi stvoreni za ibadet ili za Džehennem? Stvoreni samo da služe Bogu [Sura 51:56], mnogi od njih stvoreni su za pakao [Sura 7:179].
-
Preferira za pakao? S. 17:70 kaže da Allah daje prednost (svoj) Adamovoj djeci u odnosu na mnoga njegova stvorenja, ali S. 98:6 proglašava većinu ljudi najgorim stvorenjima, mnogi od njih su čak stvoreni posebno za pakao ( S. 7:179).
-
Hoće li svi muslimani ići u pakao? Prema suri 19:71 svaki musliman će otići u pakao (barem neko vrijeme), dok drugi odlomak navodi da će oni koji umru u džihadu odmah otići u raj.
-
Hoće li Allah osramotiti muslimane? Na Sudnjem danu Allah neće poniziti niti osramotiti Poslanika i one koji u njega vjeruju [S. 66:8]. Međutim, 19:71 kaže da će svi ući u Džehennem, a 3:192 kaže da ko god Allah pošalje u Džehennem, time biva osramoćen.
-
Hoće li Isus gorjeti u paklu? Isus je uzdignut do Allaha, [Sura 4:158], blizu njega [Sura 3:45], štuju ga milijuni kršćana, ali Sura 21:98 kaže da će svi koje obožavaju ljudi osim Allaha gorjeti u paklu zajedno s onima koji im se klanjaju.
-
Je li Isus Bog ili nije? U Suri 16:17, 20-21 i S. 25:3 nalazimo kriterij za razlikovanje pravog Boga od lažnih bogova. Ipak, prema S. 3:49, 55, 4:157-158, 5:110, 6:2 i 38:71-72 Isus zadovoljava definiciju i treba ga smatrati pravim Božanstvom.
-
Je li Isus poput Adama? S. 3:59 iznosi ovu tvrdnju, ali koliko aspekata sličnosti zapravo postoji?
-
Može li biti sina bez supruge? Allah ne može imati sina bez žene [Sura 6:101], ali Merjem može imati sina bez žene jer je to Allahu lahko [Sura 19:21].
-
Tko je Isusov otac? Opširniji argument koji je teško sažeti u jednu rečenicu.
-
Rađanje i samodostatnost Samoproturječnost zbog zbrkane terminologije.
-
Da li je Allah mogao imati sina? Sura 39:4 potvrđuje, a sura 6:101 poriče ovu mogućnost.
-
Je li Isus već umro? Sura 3:144 kaže da su svi poslanici umrli prije Muhameda. Ali 4:158 tvrdi da je Isus uzdignut Bogu (živ?).
-
Jedan Stvoritelj ili više? Kur'an dva puta koristi frazu da je Allah "najbolji stvoritelj" [23:14, 37:125]. Na koje druge kreatore mislite? S druge strane, mnogi ajeti jasno govore da je samo Allah "tvorac svih stvari" [npr. 39:62]. Ne preostaje ništa za što bi drugi mogli biti kreator.
-
Iz svih naroda ili iz Abrahamova potomstva? Sura 29:27 kaže da su svi proroci došli kao Abrahamovo potomstvo. Ali 16:36 tvrdi da je Allah podigao poslanike iz svakog naroda.
-
Ženiti žene posvojenih sinova? Važno je da muslimani mogu oženiti razvedene žene usvojenih sinova [Sura 33:37], ali je zabranjeno usvajati sinove [Sura 33:4-5].
-
Glasnici nikada nisu bili poslani drugome osim vlastitom narodu? Tako se tvrdi u suri 14:4 i 30:47. Međutim, Biblija i Kur'an, te muslimanske tradicije potvrđuju da je Jona poslan drugom narodu.
-
Glasnici su slani samo svojim ljudima? Sura 14:4 kaže da glasnik nikada nije poslan osim na jeziku svog naroda. Ipak, sam Kuran tvrdi da bi Isus trebao biti znak svim ljudima, da su Tora i Evanđelje za sve ljude, da je Mojsije poslan egipatskom faraonu, a da je Muhamed poslan cijelom čovječanstvu. Hadis također tvrdi da je Noa poslan "stanovnicima zemlje".
-
Glasnici među džinima i meleki? Allah je poslao samo ljude kao glasnike [Sure 12:109, 21:7-8, 25:20-21] ali izgleda da postoje glasnici od džina i meleka [6:130; 11:69,77; 22:75; itd., vidi članak za detalje].
-
Poslanik od zvijeri? Allah je slao samo ljude kao poslanike [Sure 12:109, 21:7-8, 25:20-21]. Ipak, Kur'an također govori o zvijeri koja je Allahov poslanik ljudima [S. 27:82].

Kur'an u suprotnosti sa ranijim objavama:
U konačnici, najjači, najozbiljniji problem Kur'ana je taj što on potvrđuje svete spise Židova i kršćana kao autentičnu i istinitu objavu od Boga (usp. što Kur'an kaže o Bibliji ), dok radikalno poriče središnje aspekte njihove poruke, npr. temeljne teme žrtve i pomirenja u Tori, Isusovo raspeće, Isusovo božanstvo , pa čak i puki mesijanski naslov "Sin Božji" za Isusa, sama priroda Boga , pad i grešnost čovjeka ( * , *), nužnost i sredstva spasenja, itd. Iz tog razloga muslimani su morali izmisliti neopravdanu teoriju o iskvarenosti ranijih spisa, čak i protiv jasnog svjedočanstva samog Kur'ana.
U nastavku slijede neka manja odstupanja između Kur'ana i spisa koje on navodno potvrđuje.

Budući da ovaj ajet tvrdi da u Kur'anu "nema proturječja/odstupanja", sam po sebi mora biti dio popisa proturječja jer proturječi postojanju gore navedenih proturječja. Ili biste rekli da je sve u redu zato što kaže "mnogo", a gore ih još nije "dovoljno" da bi se kvalificiralo za "mnogo"?

Što je strah? Zašto muslimani zahtijevaju da se povežemo s njihovim odgovorima na proturječja Kur'ana, ali oni se ne žele povezati s kršćanskim odgovorom na proturječja Biblije?

Contradictions in the Qur'an
The purpose of this page
We do not reject the Qur'an because of this list of contradictions. There are many reasons of much more substantial nature why we do not believe the Qur'an to be from the one true God. You will find those discussed on other pages of this web site (e.g. [1], [2]). This page is not intended as an attack on the Qur'an. Sadly, many Muslims have become unnecessarily aggravated because they did not understand the purpose of this collection.
It is my experience that many Muslims try to evade a discussion of the real issues regarding the truth of Islam and Christianity by pushing "101 Bible Contradictions" (or similar compilations) into our face. Muslim web sites abound in articles and collections attacking the integrity of the Bible by means of contradiction lists. Many have the attitude that "because the Bible is riddled with contradictions, errors, absurdities and problems, there is no need for me to make the effort to understand it." With such an attitude no real dialog can develop. Our goal is to get beyond superficial word games to discussing the relevant core issues over which we differ.
It has mostly proven useless to explain one set of contradictions because there is always another one that can be added to the list. It is important to be able to give explanations of the difficult Biblical passages including those that seem contradictory. We are working hard to provide good answers to honest questions in our Bible Commentary and the section on alleged Bible contradictions. However, most Muslims' rejection of the Bible is not based on such contradiction lists. For most Muslims this rejection is an integral part of their faith long before they have ever seen any such "contradictions". These lists are usually only used as a convenient means to justify a rejection of the Bible which would otherwise be very difficult to explain rationally.
Counteracting this evasive or even hostile attitude is the purpose of this page. If both sides can come to the recognition that their own book, the scripture which is the basis of their faith, be it the Bible or the Qur'an, contains some very difficult passages which might even look like plain errors or logical contradictions (depending on the level of hostility employed when looking at it), then we might be more forgiving towards the other and be motivated to not judge prematurely but to make a serious effort to understand each of the books and the essential teachings of the respective faith in a deeper way before we come to a decision why we do or do not believe them.
Debates about contradictions are rarely fruitful because people tend to insist reading the texts of the opponent in the most rigid and literal manner to make it look bad, while being very lenient with their own book, allowing extra assumptions, metaphorical interpretations and other means to somehow explain how this can be understood without being a contradiction.
Some Muslims have proven by their provided responses that they possess a quite ingenious and creative mind. It is for our readers to decide whether or not the provided answers are fully satisfactory for them. It is not for me to make that decision on their behalf. This is one reason that I will not remove even those contradictions that I find answered to my personal satisfaction. A second reason is that keeping the effectively answered contradictions on this site will help Muslims and Christians who don't know the possible responses to contradictions they encountered elsewhere, to find them here. As such this page can be a valuable resource for both Christians and Muslims, similar to various Christian pages about seeming Bible contradictions. To compare like with like, I will make the strongest possible case for something being contradictory and wrong, similar to the Muslim attacks on the Bible. The difference to Muslim web sites is that we give the right of response.
It is our prayer that even this page may help Muslims and Christians to make progress in mutual understanding, to come to a proper perspective regarding the "contradictions issue" and to a realization what the real issues are which we need to concentrate on in our dialogs and debates.
Having clarified the purpose of this page we now challenge our Muslim friends with the following compilation to rethink their approach for determining the truth of scripture.
Introduction
Because the Bible seemingly contains errors therefore the Bible is not God's word. The Qur'an on the other hand is free from discrepancies and this is proof that the Qur'an is from God since Sura 4:82 states:
Do they not ponder on the Qur'an?
Had it been from other than Allah,
they would surely have found therein much discrepancy.
See also this Muslim presentation: The no-contradiction challenge of the Qur'an.
But reality is not as simple as many would want us believe.
There are three basic categories of contradictions in the Qur'an:
-
Internal contradictions: Verses contradicting each other or the laws of logic
-
External errors: Verses contradicting the facts of history or science

If you are able to resolve to your own satisfaction the Qur'an problems presented here, then probably you will be able to understand that Christians can with a similar effort explain to their own satisfaction most of the difficulties in the Bible. Try to be fair and evaluate the Bible with an equal standard as the Qur'an. Don't judge it with harsher criteria than you are ready to use when reading the Qur'an. Even better, read the Bible to understand its meaning and message and not to find fault with it on such superficial levels.
Think about this: Errors in the Bible prove that the Qur'an is not from God.
To several of the presented problems Muslim responses are available on our site. Links to the individual responses will be given usually at the bottom of the pages dealing with the specific issue. If you want to contribute your personal response to one of the topics below I need to insist that you do this in this format also outlining my policy on linking or displaying Muslim responses, as well as the issue of using English translations of the Qur'an. But some think my offer is dishonest. There are further Muslim responses to this summary page available.
Important notice: This is an overview page which only gives short summaries of the observed contradictions. Before you respond to any of them, first click on the link to the detailed discussion of the individual contradiction!
Internal Contradictions:
-
Who suffers loss if Muhammad was wrong? Sura 34:50 commands Muhammad to say, "If I go astray, I go astray only to my own loss," which is a severe factual error in the Qur'an as well as contradicting the teaching of the Qur'an in a number of other verses.
-
Allah, Adam, and the Angels. There are a great number of problems and inconsistencies between the several accounts of Adam's creation, Allah's command to prostrate before Adam, Satans refusal, etc.
-
Who Was the First Muslim? Muhammad [6:14, 163], Moses [7:143], some Egyptians [26:51], or Abraham [2:127-133, 3:67] or Adam, the first man who also received inspiration from Allah [2:37]?
-
Can Allah be seen and did Muhammad see his Lord? Yes [S. 53:1-18, 81:15-29], No [6:102-103, 42:51].
-
Were Warners Sent to All Mankind Before Muhammad? Allah had supposedly sent warners to every people [10:47, 16:35-36, 35:24], Abraham and Ishmael are specifically claimed to have visited Mecca and built the Kaaba [2:125-129]. Yet, Muhammad supposedly is sent to a people who never had a messenger before [28:46, 32:3, 34:44, 36:2-6]. This article also raises other issues: What about Hud and Salih who supposedly were sent to the Arabs? What about the Book that was supposedly given to Ishmael? Etc.
-
What will be the food for the people in Hell? The food for the people in Hell will be only "Dhari" [Sura 88:6], or only foul pus from the washing of wounds [S. 69:36], or will they also get to eat from the tree of Zaqqum [S. 37:66]? Together, these verses constitute three contradictions.
-
Can Angels Cause the Death of People? The Qur'an attacks those who worship anyone besides God (e.g. angels or prophets) because those can neither create, nor give life, nor cause anyone to die. Yet, the Qur'an explicitly states that one angel or several angels are causing certain people to die [Sura 4:97, 16:28, 32, 32:11].
-
Confusion Concerning Identity of the Spirit and Gabriel (a long discussion of dozens of references)
-
'Iddah rules for divorced and widowed women appear to be arbitrary and inconsistent.
-
To Marry or Not to Marry? The Qur'an forbids believers to marry idolatrous women [Sura 2:221], and calls Christians idolaters and unbelievers [9:28-33], but still allows Muslims to marry Christian women [5:5].
-
Will Allah reward the good deeds of Unbelievers? S. 9:17 and 9:69 clearly say no. However, S. 99:7 implies yes. Moreover, S. 2:62 promises Christians reward for their good deeds. But S. 9:28-33; 5:17, 72-73 calls Christians idolaters, and S. 9:17 is very clear that idolaters will have no reward.
-
Should Muslims show kindness to their parents? On the one hand, the Quran commands all Muslims to show kindness to their parents, even if they are disbelievers [17:23-24, 31:14-15, 29:8, etc.]. On the other hand, it demands not to show any love or friendship to those who oppose Muhammad, even if they are their parents [9:23, 58:22].
-
Can one be a believer in God and oppose Muhammad at the same time?
-
How many mothers does a Muslim have? Only one [58:2, the woman who gave birth and none else], or two [4:23, including the mother who nursed him], or at least ten [33:6]?
-
And it just doesn't add up: Sura 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.
-
How many angels were talking to Mary? When the Qur'an speaks about the announciation of the birth of Jesus to the virgin Mary, Sura 3:42,45 speaks about (several) angels while it is only one in Sura 19:17-21. (This article has received many Muslim responses which are quoted or linked and/or discussed at the end of the article.)
-
Further numerical discrepancies Does Allah's day equal to 1,000 human years (Sura 22:47, 32:5) or 50,000 human years (Sura 70:4)? --- According to Sura 56:7 there will be THREE distinct groups of people at the Last Judgement, but 90:18-19, 99:6-8, etc. mention only TWO groups. --- There are conflicting views on who takes the souls at death: THE Angel of Death [32:11], THE angels (plural) [47:27] but also "It is Allah that takes the souls (of men) at death." [39:42] Angels have 2, 3, or 4 pairs of wings [35:1]; but Gabriel had 600 wings. [Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 455]
-
How many days did Allah need to destroy the people of Aad? One day [54:19] or several days [41:16; 69:6,7]
-
Six or eight days of creation? Sura 7:54, 10:3, 11:7, and 25:59 clearly state that God created "the heavens and the earth" in six days. But in 41:9-12 the detailed description of the creation procedure adds up to eight days. (This topic also includes many Muslim responses and further discussion.)
-
Quick or Slow Creation? Allah creates the heavens and the earth in six days [7:54] and many Muslims want to be modern and scientific, and make that six eons, but then again, He creates instantaneously [2:117], "Be! And it is".
-
Heavens or Earth? Which was created first? First earth and then heaven [2:29], heaven and after that earth [79:27-30].
-
Calling together or ripping apart? In the process of creation heaven and earth were first apart and are called to come together [41:11], while 21:30 states that they were originally one piece and then ripped apart.
-
What was man created from? A blood clot [96:1-2], water [21:30, 24:45, 25:54], "sounding" (i.e. burned) clay [15:26], dust [3:59, 30:20, 35:11], nothing [19:67] and this is then denied in 52:35, earth [11:61], a drop of thickened fluid [16:4, 75:37]
-
Examining the inherent problems with the descent of the Quran
-
Fully Detailed Or Incomplete? The Qur'an claims for itself to be (fully) detailed, that nothing is left out of the book [6:38, 6:114, 12:111, 16:89 etc.]. However there are plenty of important issues which are left unclear in the Qur'an. This article discusses the confusion found in the quranic statements on wine.
-
Worshiping the Same or a Different God? Muhammad is commanded to speak to the disbelievers: ... nor do you worship what I worship [109:3]. However, other verses in the Qur'an state clearly that those disbelieving his message are in fact worshiping the same God, Allah.
-
Did the Meccan Polytheist Believe That Allah Was The Supreme Being?
-
To Intercede or Not To Intercede? - That is the Question! The Qur'an makes contradictory statements whether on the Day of Judgment intercession will be possible. No: [2:122-123, 254; 6:51; 82:18-19; etc.]. Yes: [20:109; 34:23; 43:86; 53:26; etc.]. Each position can be further supported by ahadith.
-
How the Islamic Doctrine of Intercession undermines Allah's Omniscience
-
Where is Allah and his throne? Allah is nearer than the jugular vein [50:16], but he is also on the throne [57:4] which is upon the water [11:7], and at the same time so far away, that it takes between 1,000 and 50,000 years to reach him [32:5, 70:4].
-
The origin of calamity? Is the evil in our life from Satan [38:41], Ourselves [4:79], or Allah [4:78]?
-
How merciful is Allah's mercy? He has prescribed mercy for himself [6:12], yet he does not guide some, even though he could [6:35, 14:4].
-
Does Allah command to do evil? No [7:28, 16:90]. Yes [17:16, ]. Two examples are also given, where Allah clearly commanded or permitted indecent actions [2:229-230, 2:187].
-
Will there be inquiry in Paradise? "neither will they question one another" [23:101] but nevertheless they will be "engaging in mutual inquiry" [52:25], "and they will ... question one another" [37:27].
-
Are angels protectors? "NO protector besides Allah" [2:107, 29:22]. But in Sura 41:31 the angels themselves say: "We are your protectors in this life and the Hereafter." And also in other suras is their role described as guarding [13:11, 50:17-18] and protecting [82:10].
-
Is Allah the only Wali? On the one hand, Allah is supposedly the only wali (protector, helper, friend) [9:116, 17:111, 32:4, 42:28], on the other hand, the messenger and the believers are walis [5:55, 9:71], Allah has walis [10:62], and he raises walis [4:75].
-
Does Allah Act Alone Or Does He Have Partners That Assist Him?
-
Are all obedient and prostrating to Allah? That is the claim in 16:49 and 30:26, but dozens of verses speak of the proud disobedience of Satan [7:11, 15:28-31, 17:61, 20:116, 38:71-74, 18:50] as well of many different human beings who reject His commands and His revelations.
-
Does Allah forgive shirk? Shirk is considered the worst of all sins, but the author of the Qur'an seems unable to decide if Allah will ever forgive it or not. No [4:48, 116], Yes [4:153, 25:68-71]. Abraham committed this sin of polytheism as he takes moon, sun, stars to be his Lord [6:76-78], yet Muslims believe that all prophets are without any sin.
-
Abraham's Progeny? How the Qur'an messed up Abraham's family tree
-
The event of worship of the golden calf: The Israelites repented about worshipping the golden calf BEFORE Moses returned from the mountain [7:149], yet they refused to repent but rather continued to worship the calf until Moses came back [20:91]. Does Aaron share in their guilt? No [20:85-90], yes [20:92, 7:151].
-
Was Jonah cast on the desert shore or was he not? "Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick" [37:145] "Had not Grace from his Lord reached him, he would indeed have been cast off on the naked shore while he was reprobate." [68:49]
-
Moses and the Injil? Jesus is born more than 1,000 years after Moses, but in 7:157 Allah speaks to Moses about what is written in the Injil [the book given to Jesus].
-
Can slander of chaste women be forgiven? Yes [24:5], No [24:23].
-
How do we receive the record on Judgment Day? On Judgement day the lost people are given the Record (of their bad deeds): Behind their back [84:10], or in their left hand [69:25].
-
Can angels disobey? No angel is arrogant, they all obey Allah [16:49-50], but: "And behold, we said to the ANGELS: 'Bow down to Adam'. And THEY bowed down, EXCEPT Iblis. He refused and was haughty." [2:34]. This article includes links to answers to four Muslim responses.
-
How many wings does an angel have? Angels have 2, 3, or 4 wings [35:1]; but Gabriel had 600 wings according to Sahih al-Bukhari.
-
Three contradictions in 2:97 and 16:101-103 Who brings the revelation from Allah to Muhammad? The ANGEL Gabriel [2:97], or the Holy Spirit [16:102]? The new revelation confirms the old [2:97] or substitutes it [16:101]? The Qur'an is PURE Arabic [16:103] but there are numerous foreign, non-Arabic words in it.
-
Do not say, "Three"!? It is impossible to recite Sura 4:171 without transgressing the command contained in it.
-
The infinite loop problem Sura 26:192,195,196: "It (the Qur'an) is indeed a revelation from the Lord of the Worlds, ... in clear Arabic speech and indeed IT (the Qur'an) is in the writings of the earlier (prophets)." Now, the 'earlier writings' are the Torah and the Injil for example, written in Hebrew and Greek. HOW can an ARABIC Qur'an be contained in books of other languages? Furthermore, it would have to contain this very passage of the Qur'an since the Qur'an is properly contained in them. Hence these earlier writings have to be contained in yet other earlier writings and we are in an infinite loop, which is absurd.
-
Is the Torah like the Qur'an, or is it not? The Muslim claim of the corruption of the Bible leads to a contradiction between S. 2:24 and 17:88 on the one hand, and 28:49 and 46:10 on the other.
-
"An old woman" and God's character About the story of Lot: "So we delivered him and his family, - all exept an old woman who lingered behind." [Sura 26:170-171] And again: "But we saved him and his family, exept his wife: she was of those who lagged behind. [Sura 7:83]. Either this is a contradiction or if indeed Lot's wife is derogatorily called "an old woman" then this does not show much respect for her as a wife of a prophet.
-
More problems with the story of Lot "And his people gave NO answer but this: They said, "Drive them out of your city: these are indeed men who want to be clean and pure!" [Sura 7:82 & 27:56]. Yet: "But his people gave NO answer but this: They said: "Bring us the Wrath of Allah if thou tellest the truth." [Sura 29:29]. Obviously these answers are different.
-
The "pleasure" of Allah? Is God's action of punishment or mercy and guidance or misguidance arbitrary?
-
Did Abraham smash the idols? The accounts of Abraham, Suras 19:41-49, 6:74-83 differ quite a bit from Sura 21:51-59. While in Sura 21 Abraham confronts his people strongly, and even destroys the idols, in Sura 19 Abraham shuts up after his father threatens him to stone him for speaking out against the idols. And he seems not only to become silent, but even to leave the area ("turning away from them all").
-
What about Noah's son? According to Sura 21:76, Noah and his family is saved from the flood, and Sura 37:77 confirms that his seed survived. But Sura 11:42-43 reports that Noah's son drowns.
-
Was Noah driven out? "Before them *the people of Noah* rejected (their messenger): They rejected Our servant and said, 'Here is One possessed!' And he was driven out." [Sura 54:9] Now, if he is driven out [expelled from their country] how come they can scoff at him while he is building the ark since we read "Forthwith he (starts) constructing the Ark: Every time that the Chiefs of *his people* passed by him, they threw ridicule on him." [Sura 11:38] He cannot be both: Driven out and near enough that they can regularly pass by.
-
Pharaoh's Magicians: Muslims or Rejectors of Faith? Did the Magicians of Pharaoh, Egyptians, become believers in the God of Moses [7:103-126; 20:56-73; S. 26:29-51] or did only Israelites believe in Moses [10:83]?
-
Pharaoh's repentance in the face of death? According to Sura 10:90-92, Pharaoh repented "in the sight of death" and was saved. But Sura 4:18 says that such a thing can't happen.
-
Abrogation? "The words of the Lord are perfect in truth and justice; there is NONE who can change His words." [Sura 6:115] Also see 6:34 and 10:64. But then Allah (Muhammad?) sees the need to exchange some of them for "better ones" [Sura 2:106, 16:101]. And it is not for ignorant people to question Allah because of such practices!
-
Guiding to truth? "Say: 'God - He guides to the truth; and which is worthier to be followed ...?" [Sura 10:35] But how much is left over of this worthiness when we also read: "Allah leads astray whom he pleases, and he guides whom He pleases, ..." [Sura 14:4]. And how do we know in which of Allah's categories of pleasure we fall? How sure can a Muslim be that he is one of those guided right and not one of those led astray?
-
What is the punishment for adultery? Flogging with a 100 stripes (men and women) [24:2], "confine them to houses until death do claim them (lifelong house arrest - for the women) [4:15]. For men: "If they repent and amend, leave them alone" [4:16]. 24:2 contradicts both the procedure for women and men in Sura 4. And why is the punishment for women and men equal in Sura 24 but different in Sura 4?
-
The Problem of Divine Sovereignty, Predestination, Salvation and Human Free Will
-
Who suffers the consequence of sins? The Qur'an declares that everyone will be held responsible only for his own sins [S. 17:13-15, 53:38-42]. Yet, the Qur'an accuses the Jews of Muhammad's day for the sins committed some 2000 years earlier by other Jews, e.g. worshipping the Golden Calf idol.
-
Will Christians enter Paradise or go to Hell? Sura 2:62 and 5:69 say "Yes", Sura 5:72 (just 3 verses later) and 3:85 say "No".
-
God alone or also men? Clear or incomprehensible? The Qur'an is "clear Arabic speech." [16:103] Yet "NONE knows its interpretation, save only Allah." [3:7]. Actually, "men of understanding do grasp it." [3:7]
-
Was Pharaoh Drowned or Saved when chasing Moses and the Israelites? Saved [10:92], drowned [28:40, 17:103, 43:55].
-
When Commanded Pharaoh the Killing of the Sons? When Moses was a Prophet and spoke God's truth to Pharaoh [40:23-25] or when he was still an infant [20:38-39]?
-
When/how are the fates determined? "The night of power is better than a thousand months. The angels and spirit descend therein, by the permission of their Lord, with all decrees." [97:3,4] "Lo! We revealed it on a blessed night." [44:3] To Muslims, the "Night of Power" is a blessed night on which fates are settled and on which everything relating to life, death, etc., which occurs throughout the year is decreed. It is said to be the night on which Allah's decrees for the year are brought down to the earthly plane. In other words, matters of creation are decreed a year at a time. Contradicting this, Sura 57:22 says, "No affliction befalls in the earth or in your selves, but it is in a Book before we create it." This means it is written in the Preserved Tablet, being totally fixed in Allah's knowledge before anyone was created. All of the above is contradicted by "And every man's fate We have fastened to his own neck." This says that man alone is responsible for what he does and what happens to him. [17:13]
-
Wine: Good or bad? Strong drink and ... are only an infamy of Satan's handiwork. [5:90, also 2:219]. Yet on the other hand in Paradise are rivers of wine [47:15, also 83:22,25]. How does Satan's handiwork get into Paradise?
-
Good News of Painful Torture? Obviously, announcing torment and suffering to anyone is bad news, not good news. However, the Qur'an announces the good news of painful torment [3:21, 4:138, 9:3, 9:34, 31:7, 45:8, and 84:24].
-
Jinns and men created for worship or for Hell? Created only to serve God [Sura 51:56], many of them made for Hell [Sura 7:179].
-
Preferred for Hell? S. 17:70 says that Allah prefers (all) the children of Adam over many of his creatures, but S. 98:6 declares the majority of men to be the worst of creatures, many of them being even created specifically for Hell (S. 7:179).
-
Will all Muslims go to Hell? According to Sura 19:71 every Muslim will go to Hell (for at least some time), while another passage states that those who die in Jihad will go to Paradise immediately.
-
Will Allah disgrace Muslims? On the day of judgment Allah will not humiliate or disgrace the Prophet and those who believe in him [S. 66:8]. However, 19:71 says that everyone will enter Hell, and 3:192 states that whomsoever Allah sends to Hell, is disgraced thereby.
-
Will Jesus burn in Hell? Jesus is raised to Allah, [Sura 4:158], near stationed with him [Sura 3:45], worshiped by millions of Christians, yet Sura 21:98 says, that all that are worshiped by men besides Allah will burn in Hell together with those who worship them.
-
Is Jesus God or Not? In Sura 16:17, 20-21 and S. 25:3 we find a criterion to distinguish the true God from false gods. Yet, according to S. 3:49, 55, 4:157-158, 5:110, 6:2, and 38:71-72 Jesus satisfies the definition and should be considered true Deity.
-
Is Jesus Like Adam? S. 3:59 makes this claim, but how many aspects of likeness are there really?
-
Can there be a son without a consort? Allah cannot have a son without a consort [Sura 6:101], but Mary can have a son without a consort because that is easy for Allah [Sura 19:21].
-
Who is the father of Jesus? A more involved argument that is difficult to summarize in one sentence.
-
Begetting and Self-sufficiency A self-contradiction on account of confused terminology.
-
Could Allah have a son? Sura 39:4 affirms and Sura 6:101 denies this possibility.
-
Did Jesus Die already? Sura 3:144 states that all messengers died before Muhammad. But 4:158 claims that Jesus was raised to God (alive?).
-
One Creator or many? The Qur'an uses twice the phrase that Allah is "the best of creators" [23:14, 37:125]. What other creators are in mind? On the other hand, many verses make clear that Allah alone is "the creator of all things" [e.g. 39:62]. There is nothing left for others to be a creator of.
-
From among all nations or from Abraham's seed? Sura 29:27 states that all prophets came Abraham's seed. But 16:36 claims that Allah raised messengers from among every people.
-
Marrying the wives of adopted sons? It is important that Muslims can marry the divorced wives of adopted sons [Sura 33:37], yet it is forbidden to adopt sons [Sura 33:4-5].
-
Messengers were never sent to other than their own people? So it is claimed in Sura 14:4 and 30:47. However, the Bible and the Qur'an, and the Muslim traditions confirm that Jonah was sent to a different nation.
-
Messengers Were Sent Only to Their Own People? Sura 14:4 states that never was a messenger sent except in the language of his own people. Yet, the Quran itself claims that Jesus is supposed to be a sign to all people, that the Torah and Gospel are for all people, that Moses was sent to Pharaoh of Egypt, and that Muhammad is sent to all of mankind. The hadith also claim that Noah was sent to "the inhabitants of the earth".
-
Messengers Amongst the Jinns and Angels? Allah sent only men as messengers [Suras 12:109, 21:7-8, 25:20-21] but there seemingly are messengers from Jinns and Angels [6:130; 11:69,77; 22:75; etc., see article for details].
-
A Messenger from among the beasts? Allah sent only men as messengers [Suras 12:109, 21:7-8, 25:20-21]. Yet, the Qur'an also speaks about a beast that is a messenger from Allah to men [S. 27:82].

The stars and the moon The Qur'an teaches that there are seven heavens one above the other [67:3, 71:15], and that the stars are in the lower heaven [67:5, 37:6, 41:12], but the moon is depicted as being in/inside the seven heavens [71:16], even though in reality the stars are much further away from the earth than the moon.

The Qur'an in Contradiction to the Earlier Revelations:
Ultimately, the strongest, most serious problem of the Qur'an is that it affirms the scriptures of the Jews and the Christians as authentic and true revelation from God (cf. what the Qur'an says about the Bible), while radically denying central aspects of their message, e.g. the core themes of sacrifice and atonement in the Torah, the crucifixion of Jesus, the deity of Jesus and even the mere messianic title "Son of God" for Jesus, the very nature of God, the fall and the sinfulness of man (*, *), necessity and means of salvation, etc. For this reason Muslims had to invent the unwarranted theory of corruption of the earlier scriptures, even against the clear testimony of the Qur'an itself.
In the following some smaller discrepancies between the Qur'an and the scriptures it supposedly confirms.
Other contradictions in comparison to the Bible:

Since this verse is claiming that there is "no contradiction / discrepancy" in the Qur'an, therefore itself has to be part of the list of contradictions because it contradicts the existence of the above listed contradictions. Or would you say because it says "much" and the above aren't "enough of them" yet to qualify for "much", all is actually fine?
If you want to use these contradictions when talking to your Muslim friends, then read this.

If you know of another contradiction or error I have missed so far, I would appreciate a message informing me about it.
The reason for this page...
If you have browsed the contradictions page and have the feeling this is a really mean, disrespectful and distasteful attack on the Qur'an, ... and Muslims would never do things like that to the Bible ... maybe you would like to have a look around some Muslim sites:
-
The Bible Criticism Page [1], [2], [3], [4] is copied and displayed on many Islamic sites and often one of the first links that you see when entering these Islamic pages: [1], [1a], [2], ... [3], and a similar page is here.
What do you think about Muslims using Atheist material?
I take no joy in this approach. Muslims have forced it on me with their pages.
Please read the purpose statement for this page to understand my motivation better.Furthermore, there are "genuinely" Muslim pages, that are not just relying on the atheists, but they have their own Bible contradictions. I am giving again several locations of the identical text, to show how important these books are to Muslims and how often they are used.

Shabir Ally's "101 Clear Contradictions in the Bible" are quite popular, but it is interesting to note that none of the Muslim pages is willing to link to the Christian response to their attack on the Bible. What is the fear? Why do Muslims demand that we link to their responses on the Qur'an contradictions but they are not willing to link to the Christian response to Bible contradictions?
