Some Common Allegations

[anonymous]

im a muslim but someone asked me these questions and i dont know how 2 make her understand it so plz help and define the answers

1. “Prophet make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home” (Surah 8:73)

2. “Fight against such as those whom the Scriptures were given [Jews and Christians]…until they pay tribute out of hand and are utterly subdued” (Surah 9:27-)

3. “The Jews and Christians say: ‘We are the children of God and His loved ones.’ Say: ‘Why then does He punish you for your sins?” (Surah 5:18)

4. “Seek out your enemies relentlessly.” (Surah 4:103-)

Please explain these contradictions to help increase understanding:

Can Allah be seen and did Muhammad see his Lord?
Yes [S. 53:1-18, 81:15-29], No [6:102-103, 42:51].

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].

Heavens or Earth? Which was created first?
First earth and then heaven [2:29], heaven and after that earth [79:27-30].

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?

3. “The Jews and Christians say: ‘We are the children of God and His loved ones.’ Say: ‘Why then does He punish you for your sins?” (Surah 5:18)

What is their objection to this verse?

4. “Seek out your enemies relentlessly.” (Surah 4:103-)

Can Allah be seen and did Muhammad see his Lord?
Yes [S. 53:1-18, 81:15-29], No [6:102-103, 42:51].

Neither verses 53:1-18 nor verses 81:15-29 establish seeing Allah; they are interpreted as referring to seeing Angel Jibreel.

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].

The first verse says we only have one biological mother, the second verse says that forbidden for marriage is one's mother and foster-mother. Where is the contradiction?

Heavens or Earth? Which was created first?
First earth and then heaven [2:29], heaven and after that earth [79:27-30].

The 'wine' of paradise is not like the wine of this world. The former is not bad because it does not possess the harmful effects of the latter.

I hope this helps.
