Quran Riddle

azim · **Quran Riddle -** 11-27-2005

Someone mentioned these too me today, I can't remember them all so maybe some brothers/sisters inshallah could fill in the gaps.

What has one but no two?

Allah subhana wa t'ala

What is two but not three?

Day and Night

What is three but not four?

The people of the cave

What is/has four but no five?

____________ (I forgot)

What is 5 but not 6?

Salah

What is 6 but not 7?

___________

What is 7 but not 8?

7 Heavens

What is 8 but not 9?

____________

What is 9 but not 10?

____________

There are meant to be 100 of these. Maybe someone knows them.

No offence, but they're a bit of a giveaway. For example, 'What is 5 but not 6' obviously means there's five of them thus making the 6 redundant, and in the Quranic context it's evidently salah.

But um, nice post.

The Quran doesnt give a fixed number of people of the cave though...

I think it's emphasis on 5 but NEVER 6.

So, saying breakfast is once but never twice would be wrong, because some people (i.e. me) have two breakfasts.

I was just curious if anyone else had heard these or knew the remaining 81 I didn't list.

wanted to say the same, again !

Allah swt has himself sed, noone knows the exact # of the ppl of cave,
only Allah knows it.
Surah Kahaf[18] Ayah 22 :

Quote:

(Some) say they were three the dog being the fourth among them; (others) say they were five the dog being the sixth doubtfully guessing at the unknown; (yet others) say they were seven the dog being the eighth. Say thou: "My Lord knoweth best their number; it is but few that know their (real case)." Enter not therefore into controversies concerning them except on a matter that is clear nor consult any of them about (the affair of) the Sleepers.

I understand that. Still, it's a little bit formulaic. Look, I'll make one:

What is 99, but not 100?

-The names of Allah

What is two, but not three?

-My eyes

What is one, but not two?

-My nose

Maybe if we can mix 'em up a bit it'll be more entertaining.
