Question

Why are there no scientific/historical/geological/geographical/mathematic or even grammatical errors in Koran?

Answer 1

You've got to be kidding

Answer 2

I don't think the quran has been subjected to the same critical analysis that the bible has. Muslims won't allow it.

Answer 3

Try educating yourself.

Answer 4

You must take alot of drugs



EDIT: The Creation stories in both the Bible and Quran have been disproven. They never happened, it is not scientifically possible.

Answer 5

There are so many errors in your claim that this is all I can say about it: Fail.

Answer 6

Well golly gee whiz!!!

Sorry, I guess I stopped reading your question at "hate-filled." You don't like that, try this:

I've heard that many errors are from bad translation. To me, this means that unless you have studied the Qur'an in the original language (which I doubt you have based on your question), you must have quite poor reading comprehension skills if you are unable to see the flaws. Or you are just intellectually dishonest, I'm not sure which.

Answer 7

Some of the verses contradict with science,such as



1) According to Holy Quran mountains prevent earthquake or the shaking of the earth.In Sura Al Al-Anbiyaa (Chapter 21 verse# 31)

It says

" And We have placed on the earth firm mountains, lest it should shake with them



If mountains prevent earthquakes then why do we see so many earthquakes in mountainous regions?. For example, Japan is a mountainous zone but it has 1500 earthquakes every year.'Shaking of the earth' and earth quakes mean the same thing right?



2)Are men created from ejaculated liquid from backbone and ribs according to the Quran?

The holyQuran in Sura At Tariq ( Chapter 86 verse# 6-7) says



" He is created from a water gushing forth

Proceeding from between the back-bone and the ribs"



According to science there are two seminal vesicles behind the urinary bladder. The testicles produce only 5% of the sperm. The seminal vesicles produce between 60 to 70% of the semen content per ejaculation. The seminal vesicles are located near the urinary bladder not between the backbone and ribs. So the verse is clearly in error. There was a Greek Physicist called Galen. He lived in 100 A.D he believed in the idea that men is created from ejaculated liquid gushing from backbone and the sperm.



3) In Sura Al Mulk (Chapter 67) Ayaat # 5 it says



"And We have adorned the lowest heaven with lamps,

and we have made such (Lamps as) missiles to drive away Satans, ... "



So the stars were created by Allah as missiles to throw at the devils? In order to not let them eavesdrop on the heavenly council?



The first ayaat says stars are lamps that is fine but lamps (stars) are not thrown at devils.

Answer 8

I am not a scholar of the Qu'ran so I cannot answer this in great detail. However since you say that their are "no scientific/historical/geological/geographical/mathematic or even grammatical errors in Koran" I have to assume you only need one error to refute your theory.



To this end the Qu'ran says that thunder is an agels voice. When asked what thunder is, the response is that thunder is the angel in charge of the clouds. It is described that this angel dictates where the clouds go, and the sound that is heard is this angels voice. Even if we are to take this in scientific terms it is suggesting (stating unequivicolly) that a clouds motion is directed by thunder. We know that this is scientifically innacurate, and that thunder is actually just the sound created by lightning. It has absolutely no value whatever in the movement of clouds (which is solely dictated by wind). Even the thing that creates thunder (lightning) has no effect on a clouds movements. So this would be one scientific error in the Qu'ran. If somehow you do not see this as an error, then I can not understand that. It is very clearly wrong on a scientific basis.



Also in the Qu'ran is says "God has made firm mountains on earth lest it sway people and quake. He also made heaven as a ceiling and kept it from falling down!"... this states that mountains are intended to prevent earthquakes (as is the only understanding i can infer) which is untrue (mountains have absolutely no effect on the motion of or the stability of the Earth.



I am sure their are many others, however I do not have a good enough knowledge of the texts to highlight them all.... I had to rely on some internet searching for these.



I should also mention that the speculation about the Qu'ran having no "grammatical" errors is a little odd. I would hope that it would have at least had a few proof readers before being printed. I would furthermore hope that after all this time the grammatical errors would have been caught and corrected. I am sure that at some point one of the millions of copies of the Qu'ran contained a typo.... that is just common sense. These mistakes are typically found and removed from the text before being released to the general public.



Lastly, on what basis can you state that the Qu'ran is historically accurate. Are you citing only those historical documents that agree with the Qu'rans accounts discluding those that disagree as being innacurate themselves? It would be almost impossible to state that any given historic account was totally accurate... especially when enough time has passed that the document itself is a part of the history. I have never seen a single "history" book that was not itself innacurate... so it would be hard to believe that this (even if very accurate) were without falsehoods. Take into consideration the Qu'ran actually agrees with the stated version of history noted in the Torah and you may see that historical accuracy, as well as scientific accuracy, is in no way found in this document.



Unless of course you reject modern accounts of history, and modern knowledge of science in favor of this book. In that case you are comparing the text to nothing and judging it as adequate. You must first create a baseline of what you consider accurate, then compare this book to that. I am using current knowledge of science as my comparison.



Hope this helped.

Answer 9

look up the number of joints in the human body. first, use a current medical text. then look up the same thing in the Koran



notice anything?

Answer 10

There is one huge glaring error. There are no gods and "Allah" doesn't exist. I guess that it's not so perfect after all.

Answer 11

iam surprised



you said

I am not a muslim. I would never convert to that evil death cult. Muslims have stupid beliefs that have no EVICENCE. Therefore, they are not true



and you said

Evolution is a fact. However, even the Qu'ran supports it, as well as the big bang, AND days 7-24 of embyrology (see Quran 23:14).



dear asker



Quran makes the clear challenge, that if you are in doubt about it - then bring a book like it. Also, to bring ten chapters like it and then finally, to bring one single chapter like it. 1,400 years - and no one has been able to duplicate it's beauty, recitation, miracles and ease of memorization. Another challenge for the unbelievers to consider; "If this (Quran) were from other than GOD, you would find within it many contradictions



004.082

Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an? If it had been from [any] other than Allah , they would have found within it much contradiction



regarding scientific Miracles in Quran



The scientific miracles of the Quran could not have been understood at that time, yet today we take for granted the many things included in the revelation of the Quran. Some include mentioning: The formation of embryo in the womb of the mother (surah 98); deep seas partitions; waters that do not mix; clouds and how they make rain and how lightning is caused by ice crystals; formation of the earth's mountains deep underground; big bang and origin of universe;orbits of planets and stars and moons - and even the mention of space travel (surah 55:33).



Watch videos of world's top scientists commenting on the "Miracle of Science in Quran"



http://www.scienceislam.com/scientists_quran.php



Quran does not demand belief - the Quran invites belief, and here is the fundamental difference. It is not simply delivered as: Here is what you are to believe, but throughout the Quran the statements are always: Have you O man thought of such and such, have you considered so and so. It is always an invitation for you to look at the evidence; it is an invitation to the truth



The most important thing to take into consideration is that fact that it is only Allah who guides and it is only Allah who misguides. So, if you desire guidance to all truth, the One to ask is the One Above. If you are sincere, and honest with Him, then there can be no doubt that He will always guide the sincere to the Right Path.



There are some who do not want to be guided. Rather, they prefer to make up their own way or religion that suits them and makes them feel all warm and fuzzy. Naturally, that would not be acceptable to the One who is to be worshiped (Almighty God). That would be someone making up what they like and expecting the Lord of the Universe to accept it even though He has already ordained what it is that He wants from the people as worship to Him without partners

Or do they say, "He has invented it?" Say, "If I have invented it, you will not possess for me [the power of protection] from GOD at all. He is most knowing of that in which you are involved. Sufficient is He as Witness between me and you, and He is the Forgiving the Merciful."



046.009

Say, "I am not something original among the messengers, nor do I know what will be done with me or with you. I only follow that which is revealed to me, and I am not but a clear warner."



046.010

Say, "Have you considered: if the Qur'an was from GOD , and you disbelieved in it while a witness from the Children of Israel has testified to something similar and believed while you were arrogant... ?" Indeed, GOD does not guide the wrongdoing people.



Thanks so much for your kind question and may GOD guide all of us to the straight path to be with Him in the Next Life, ameen.

Answer 12

If the Quran is perfect, find me a verse suggesting the Earth revolves around the Sun. Just one should be enough, after all, with so many "scientific facts" surely this is in.



Truth is, the Sun and the Moon are always treated in the Quran on a similar level and subservient to Earth. Hardly cutting-edge science.

Answer 13

QURAN 4:82



82. Will they not, then, try to understand this Quran? Had it issued from any but God, they would surely have found in it many an inner contradiction!



QURAN 2:23. And if you doubt any part of what We have, bestowed from on high, step by step, upon Our servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah of similar merit, and call upon any other than God to bear witness for you -if what you say is true!



2:24. And if you cannot do it-and most certainly you cannot do it-then be conscious of the fire whose fuel is human beings and stones which awaits all who deny the truth!



A BOOK BESTOVED PART BY PART WITH A WONDERFUL HARMONY.



SUN MOVES ON ITS ORBIT DO YOU THINK IT IS STATIONARY?



AND WHO SAID YOU THAT THE HEAVEN YOU MENTIONED IS ATHMOSPHERE RATHER THAN THE WHOLE HEAVEN

Answer 14

are you joking...

Qur'an 36:38 "The sun keeps revolving in its orbit at the dispensation of the All-Knowing. And the Moon, We have measured for her mansions till she returns like dried date stalks. It is not permitted for the Sun to overtake the Moon, nor can the Night outstrip the Day. Each (just) swims along, floating in (its own) orbit as a Sign as in a race. And we made similar vessels [chariots] for them to ride. But we could have drowned them if we pleased."

Qur'an 67:3 "We created seven heavens, one above the other. Muhammad, can you see any fault in Ar-Rahman's creation? Look again: Can you see any rifts or fissures? Then look again and yet again. Your gaze turns back dazed and tired. We have adorned the lowest skies with lamps, and We have made them missiles to drive away the devils and against the stone Satans, and for them We have prepared the doom of Hell and the penalty of torment in the most intense Blazing Fire."

Qur'an 38:27 "We have not created the heavens and earth and all that lies between for nothing."

Qur'an 33:72 "We did indeed offer the opportunity to the Heavens, the Earth, the Mountains, but they refused to take it, being afraid (of Allah's torment). But man undertook it. He was unjust and foolish. Lo, he has proved a tyrant and fool, ignorant. Allah has to punish the Hypocrites, men and women, and the Unbelievers."

Answer 15

how about the fact that the Language it is written in sounds like some one hacking up a lung. And if the Koran has no flaws why are the people who are following it so flawed? I'am not a Christian so don't type cast me with these people.

Answer 16

Qur'an is perfect.



Haters here will only say that "Allah says humans are created from a clot and that's not how it works." Yea right, they should take some biology lessons and know that "alaqah" does not refer to clot of blood, but an actual leach which is similar to the human embryo.



There are many scientific and mathematical miracles in the Qur'an:



http://www.quranmiracles.com/mmwh/allmmlh.asp











@Maurog II-------Here's a verses for ya:



Nabiyya {21:33}

"It is He who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon, all (the celestial bodies) swim along, each in its orbit with its own motion."





Here's something regarding the sun's revolution:



Ya-sin {36:38}

"And the sun runs to its resting place. That is the decree of the Almighty, the All-Knowing."



According to astronomers' calculations, the Sun moves along a path known as the Solar Apex in the path of the star Vega at a speed of 720,000 kmph. This shows that the Sun traverses some 17.28 million km a day.

As well as the Sun itself, all the planets and satellites within its gravitational field also travel the same distance.





What was written in the Qur'an by Allah 1400 years ago was just recently discovered by scientists.

Answer 17

bacause it is the true word of GOD.

when one reads it, he can notice from the way of speaking that it is not human words for example on surah Al-isra- 70

"And indeed We have honoured the sons of Adam, and We have carried them on land and sea, and have provided them with At-Taiyibât (lawful good things), and have preferred them above many of those whom We have created with a marked preference".

in additin to having no contradictions it has scientific miracles

and it's description of the creation of the universe doesn't contradict with the BIGBANG theory .

Answer 18

If you believe the Koran is perfect and has no errors, why are you not a Muslim?



If you say it has no errors, than it must be right in its teaching about Allah and how to worship him, right?



Or--are you really a Muslim in disguise after all?
