View Full Version : Quran Riddle
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. :)

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.

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