Non Muslims and Quran

Just curious what post are you refering to?

I think, considering you are picking on me, the question ought to be which post are you thinking of? You made the attack.

But what I had in mind was this

Besides, Muslims are not stupid, any more than Christians are. If there were "contradictions" in the Quran Muslim scholars would have noticed them years ago and explained why they do not appear to say what they appear to say. Just as Christians have done. There must be a reason for why the Quran gives two different lengths of time for the creation of the Earth. I do not know what it is, but I am not so stupid as to think it means the Quran contains an error.​
 
My point exactly. Whatever "contradictions" people might claim to find, Muslim scholars, just like Christian ones, have been there first and explained why it is as it is.


Again it seems Heigou cant understand what i mean. What i meant to say is that christian scholars CANNOT explain their bible.

What i meant to project was people who say OH CONTRADICTION! dont read the quran with understanding. In the bible EVEN IF YOU READ WITH UNDERSTANDING there is contradiction.

But i think was wrong somewhere yeah your right Heigou cool beans.
 
Well most Christians argue that the Bible is "inspired" and so a few typos do not matter. But mainly, of course, scholars have worked on the Bible and they have not been executed or forced into hiding. So Christians have tended to stop denying that there are. Nonetheless scholars have explained away those errors.
If you check the link I gave, you will see that there remains a number that have not been sufficiently answered.

So an errror in the Bible means little as long as Jesus rose from the dead.
If the gospels are corrupted and unreliable, how would we know if Jesus rose from the dead? The Bible's [claimed] inerrancy is integral to Christianitly as well.
 
Assalam Alaikam
Now i would like to ask those non muslim friends, what can you possibly come up with against the Quran?

So questions have been asked but as of yet no answers.

Why there are their contradictions with the time it spent creating the earth?
Why there is no mention of dinosaurs?
Why there is no mention of germs?

:? :? :?

How do you know? You have no understanding. The world is full of Christians and they, or many of them, do not seem to have a problem with it. Surely you must accept that they think there are no contradictions. As you do not share their understanding, how can you judge?

Not of course that the Bible is as important to Christians as the Quran is to Muslims.
 
Does the bible even mention jesus being crucified or the trinity?

Certainly the Crucifiction.

John.19
[1] Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
[2] And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,
[3] And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.
[4] Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.
[5] Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!
[6] When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.
[7] The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
[8] When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;
[9] And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
[10] Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?
[11] Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.
[12] And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.
[13] When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.
[14] And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
[15] But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priest answered, We have no king but Caesar.
[16] Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.
[17] And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
[18] Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
[19] And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
[20] This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
[21] Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
[22] Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
[23] Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
[24] They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
[25] Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
[26] When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
[27] Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
[28] After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
[29] Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
[30] When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
[31] The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
[32] Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.
[33] But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
[34] But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
[35] And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
[36] For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
[37] And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
[38] And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
[39] And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
[40] Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
[41] Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.
[42] There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.​

And the Resurrection too to stave off the next question

John.20
[1] The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
[2] Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
[3] Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.
[4] So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
[5] And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.
[6] Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
[7] And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
[8] Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
[9] For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
[10] Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
[11] But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
[12] And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
[13] And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
[14] And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
[15] Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
[16] Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
[17] Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
[18] Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
[19] Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
[20] And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
[21] Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
[22] And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
[23] Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
[24] But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
[25] The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
[26] And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
[27] Then saith he to Thomas, reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
[28] And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
[29] Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
[30] And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:
[31] But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.​
 
Those verses say that both the earth and the heavens were created in six days, 2 for the earth exactly, two for the heavens/sky exactly and 4 for putting things on the earth.

Day 1 - Creation of Earth.
Day 2 - Creation of Earth.
Day 3 - Creation of the things on earth.
Day 4 - Creation of the things on earth.
Day 5 - Creation of Sky and the things on Earth.
Day 6 - Creation of Sky and the things on Earth.

-or-

Day 1 - Creation of Earth and the things on Earth.
Day 2 - Creation of Earth and the things on Earth.
Day 3 - Creation of the things on earth.
Day 4 - Creation of the things on earth.
Day 5 - Creation of Sky.
Day 6 - Creation of Sky.

There could also be other ways it happened but my point is that it took a total of 6 days, and God did multiple things at once apparently. I think it would be that the total creation of earth and everything in it took 4 days, and sky/heaven took 2 days.

And Dinosaurs have little do with worshipping God soooo... what if the Quran had a list of all species on Earth? Or from other worlds? Some things we can figure out ourselves, the Quran is guidance about how to worship and live in accordance to God's will, not a scientific manual of the universe.

Germs wouldn't be too much of a problem if you do ablution 5 or more times a day, pray for health, etc... Islam was a for-runner in the medical industry if I'm not mistaken as well, didn't a Muslim provide the first map of the human body or something?

"Day" can also mean "Period of time," but is translated as day sometimes.
 
So did god create two people (Adam and Eve) before or after the dinosaurs?


It's irrelevant and unimportant, what's it got to do with anything?

Firstly there are verses that refer to beats scattered accross the earth, that some people say could possibly refer to dinosaurs, but it doesn't prove anything

Secondly all we know is that Adam PBUH was the first man on earth, that's all god has told us, in his infinite wisdom for whatever reason we have not been told when Adam PBUh came to earth. It maybe dinosaurs were on earth fist then were destroyed then adam PBUH came, or maybe Adam PBUH was around already on other parts of the earth, Allah alone knows best, but who cares, it doesn't prove or disprove anything

Or did he create loads of people all at once?

God created Adam PBUH, and from him Eve was created. after that every person was born like people are born today
 
Wow , a person whos a christian. How can one believe that God died for human beings? God died for his own creation? i dont know wow eh.

Walakam salam

thats just my opinion
 
Anti Venom Publications (click the red button) will never shy away from such issues ..... you will not get banned ... i dont think you would here either...its just that youre not allowed to quote from Anti Islamc sources due to the fact we have the Muslim bashers that throw every body elses material at you and have nothing to say of their own back ....wasalams
 
Does that mean adams offspring committed insest? Is this allowed in islam?
First, Adam and Eve were not identical to their descendants. They were special in that they had the material within them for all future ethnic groups.

Second, due to the exceptional nature of their circumstances and condition, their immediate children were not bound by the same laws that future generations would be bound by.
 
OK, I'll be easy on you...

Number of creation days: 8 (Sura 41:9-12) or
6 (Suras 7:51; 10:3

So is it 6 or 8? Once you answer this I have many more questions..

Thank You.
 
So who exactly is the author of the Quran?



AUTHORSHIP: It is difficult to even know who the author of the Quran truly is. Was it Allah (Suras 53:2-18; 81:19-24), or the holy spirit (Suras 16:102; 26:192-194), or Angels (Sura 15:8), or just the Angel Gabriel (Sura 2:97)?
 
Does the bible even mention jesus being crucified or the trinity?

In all honesty, it depends on which version of the bible you read. There are too many versions to even list. Also, the bible is "updated" and retranslated every few years, by different sources.

From my research, I do not feel that the original books of the bible mentioned the trinity. The crucifixion was mentioned, but not in the manner that it is portrayed in the King James Version (most common christian translation), and more current versions. Of course, we also need to remember that the Holy Bible was written by MAN.
 
Of course, we also need to remember that the Holy Bible was written by MAN.

We know the Bible is made up of our Laws, commandents from God how we should lead our life etc..the History of Israel, Poetry..and of course Prophecy.

If you mean that man used his own hands, fingers for the scribes to be written...of course it was written by man in that sence...but the Prophets where lead by God...man would not have been able to know the future without God telling them either what kind of perfect laws God wanted for mankind.

What denomination of Christianity are you? if you don't mind me asking...I would be interested in researching it.

Because I have never heard of any Christian denomination believe that man alone wrote the Bible..that is, if thats what you meant.
