Answer 4

Salam.



Lmao "I've been looking into a lot of things" I died laughing. Let me tell you why...



Mohammad Hassan one of the most knowledgeble scholars of Islam today has been explaining the Quran for over two years!! You know where he is now?



-A couple of pages into the baqara. Or just a few pages into the Quran.



The Quran is perfect Islam is perfect however it's people like you (no disrespect) who take things out of context and who think they understand the Quran when they really have no real understanding.



And you say science doesn't match???



Dude 1400 years ago the Quran was revealed we had very little scientific knowledge.



The Quran has the word land and sea 45 times



-land is mentioned 13 times; 13/45= 28.89%

-sea is mentioned 32 times; 32/45= 71.11%



Both are the exact numbers today. To put it in perspective the "America's" weren't discovered untill1600 or so and colombus didn't "find it" till 1692 so this book is perfect this book has no mistakes but it isn't going to be understood in a couple Of hours.

Wikislam? That site has been refuted. If you want to learn about Islam, ask real Muslims, not anti-Islamic websites. Look into the true facts about Islam not the "facts" dedicated to destroying Islam. Oif Wikislam is 100% true then why is it still the fastest growing religon in the world when it's a "terrorist religion"? Also this section has few Muslims. Ask this in the Ramadan section.

you can also Email me and I will do my best to answer your questions.

Answer 6

Fireball is back in action, I see. Or maybe I've just been away a bit.



Islam is perfect. The Qur'an is God's word and is flawless. I've yet to find problems with Islam or the Qur'an. I've visited so many sites that supposedly "exposes" the truth of Islam or whatever, and when I compare what I see there with the Islamic view, it is simply too obvious that sites like skeptics.....com are done by amusing people with too much time on their hands and laughable knowledge of Islam, plus a strange desire to misrepresent Islam to the ignorant masses. But they seem unaware of the fact that the harder they fight against Islam, the stronger the faith of believers becomes, and the faster the religion spreads. They can mock Islam all they want. God has prepared Hellfire for those who found amusement in mocking his verses.

Answer 7

Yes. I suggest you search "contradictions in the Quran or (Koran)?

Answer 8

Counterproductive, however I actually like the whole lot approximately the bands that I could lump into my favorites. Maybe I simply transfer beyond any flaws with out quite considering them, however I simply do not see any, or might be a few flaws are a well factor. I bet something that I suggestion used to be unsuitable that I disproved the day gone by with the Elliott Smith album XO used to be pondering that I would best obtain it good if I used to be bummed out, however I checked it out the day gone by in a well temper and used to be truthfully made even happier, like being reunited with an historical buddy. I hadn't listened to it in rather a even as. I would say that I want Elliott hadn't been overtaken by means of/performed such a lot of medicines and drank such a lot as a consequence inevetably killing him (or using him to it), however that sort of falls below the band broke up class. So, I bet I would not have an reply, however I favored the query plenty so I desired to position down an reply.

Answer 9

Dear Azekel,



Your doubts may have some grounds!



FYI, the Qur'an is documented as a Papal Conspiracy to control the Barbarian masses, hence it's resemblance to The Holy Bible.



According to sources, the Qur'an was introduced to 'Muhammad' by the parental cousin( 'Waraka ibn Nawfal' ), of his first wife 'Kadijah'.



Waraka was a Catholic priest living in Mecca, and one who had made detailed studies of the Gospels and the Old Testament scriptures.

Waraka was the first to recognized Muhammad's call to prophecy as authentic and islamic tradition recounts Waraka saying: "There has come to him the greatest Law that came to Moses; surely he is the prophet of this people".



What the people didn't know, was that Waraka had been covertly recruited by Jesuit Monks to present the Barbarians with their own religion through Muhammad, with a proviso that the Papacy remain Sovereign.



However, after the death of Muhammad the Barbarians refused to recognise this agreement, and the Papacy reacted with swift vengeance through the Crusade Wars, which claimed the lives of millions.





History supports this record of genocide by these so-called Christians, who committed these attrocities against an innocent race.

"Christians" they may have called themselves, but whether they were followers of CHRIST or not is for history to decide!

Answer 10

Of course, it is just ancient superstition.

Answer 11

The Quran has no miracles. Lot of the verses in it contradict science. For example,



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 are there to stop the earth from shaking, 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? Mountains are created because of the movement of tectonic plates. They do not stablize the earth or prevent shaking of the earth. This verse is clearly in error



2) The Quran 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





3) Why does the Quran say Allah prevents the sky from falling into the earth?

The Holy Quran in Sura Al Hajj ( chapter 22 verse# 65) says



Pickthall:He holdeth back the heaven from falling on the earth unless by His leave. Lo! Allah is, for mankind, Full of Pity, Merciful.



As me know the sky is vast. So how can it fall into the earth?This sounds absurd.



4) According to the Quran honey comes from the body of the bee.

In Sura an Nahl An Nahl (chapter 16 verse # 69) says



YUSUFALI: Then to eat of all the produce (of the earth), and find with skill the spacious paths of its Lord: there issues from within their bodies a drink of varying colours, wherein is healing for men.



A bee makes honey from the collected then chewed up pollen from plants. The bee never actually swallows and or digests the pollen. Honey does not come from the bodyof the bee. The bees chew their nectar through their mouth. After that nectar is dried out in the honeycomb and honey is formed. The verse in Quran is scientifically incorrect.

Answer 12

Hi



I'm a Christian and so yes, I'd say there are problems with Islam. Can I suggest when you are ready, that you research Jesus?



The Qur'an says that Jesus is not God, and was not crucified. The Bible says the opposite. Both cannot be true. Roman and Jewish records also say Jesus was crucified. It's an accepted fact of history by all world class historians. Christians in the first century claimed Jesus rose from the dead. If that is true, then this alone changes everything. I think there is enough evidence that it is. But maybe you are not ready for that. For now, why not pray something like this:



Sovereign God, creator of the universe - I need to find you. I need to know what is true. Please help me to do that, help me find the truth.



Keep asking questions, and when you research Jesus - be just as critical! The Bible says we should question, it says "Test everything. Hold on to the good." (1 Thessalonians 5:21)



Blessings

Answer 13

Islam serves as a "monotheism for dummies". Honestly, how can God let His word be corrupted? Plus, if God sent prophet after prophet to suppose "clean up corruption", then why did He further damage it by deceiving people that Jesus died on the cross, and can you answer why He waiting 600 years to tell us that it wasn't Jesus? I mean look at the facts, both books state that Jesus was the only perfectly sinless person on Earth. Plus, you need to look into the life of Mohammed very carefully. How can a 50+ year old man have sex with a 9 year old? You look at a 9 year old today and see if you want her. If He is suppose to be the great man in the world he wouldn't do that. Plus, why couldn't he preform miracles? Sure there are supposedly "perform" miracles out of some Hadiths, but I find that really interesting when many actually use there hadith to prove there religion wrong, they discard it or say something like, " but that's not the word of Allah!" Also, sex in Heaven? Anyone with ONE brain cell can see that this is a scam. Think about it. Mohammed was a dictator that told his soldiers if you fight for the cause if Allah, that you will go straight to Heaven and get 72+ virgins and drink wine. So you mean to tell me that everything you is a sin down here, is acceptable up there? You need to really look into another religion. We Christians believe that ALL have fallen short of the glory of God and that NO man can reach Heaven but through Christ, why? Because Jesus serves as a way to clean us before the Father. You actually think you can work your way into Heaven?



Ask yourself this question, why did they want to kill Jesus? Back then, anyone who even claim to be God was blasphemy and deserved death.

Answer 14

There are no errors in the Quran, be it history or science.



Here is proof of Islam:





Suppose there was equipment/object and it has never been seen before and was found on earth.

The question to you is who is the first person who can describe this object?

You will obviously answer the creator or inventor or the producer etc.

Then I ask how did the universe come into creation?

You will obviously reply by saying there was initially a primary nebula, then there was a big bang which caused the galaxies, sun, moon, earth to come into existence.

So then I will ask when did you found about this creation. You will say well around 40-50 years ago when scientists discovered it...

My objection to this is ; but this big bang you’re talking about is already mentioned in the Quran, Chap 21 verse 30 which says: Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of creation), before we clove them asunder.

So I say to you who could have mentioned that?

You will say maybe it’s a fluke or everyone knows that.

So I continue and I ask; so the light of the moon is it a reflected light or its own light?

You may answer something like 100 years ago scientists discovered that it is a reflected light.

I will say but the Quran tells us 1400 years ago the moon had a reflected or borrowed light, in chap 25 verse 61. So who could have mentioned this 1400 years ago?

You probably may reply by saying maybe Muhammad was intelligent and smart.

I may continue. My question is; the world we live on what is its shape? You will say spherical and this was discovered in 1597 by Sir Francis Drake. But the Quran again tells us 1400 years ago in chap 79 verse 30, that the earth was an expanse, meaning it is shaped like the egg of an ostrich. So who could've mentioned this?

Your only reply is by saying: Your prophet is maybe very intelligent.

I may continue. The Quran tells us in chap 21 verse 33, that the sun and the moon travel in orbit with its own motion. Who would've mentioned this in the Quran 1400 years ago when it was recently discovered? You may stay silent or give me another reply like Muhammad was intelligent.

I may continue, today science tells us the universe is expanding; this is also mentioned in the Quran 1400 years ago in chap 51 verse 47.

The Quran speaks about the water cycle, which we learnt in school. It was Bernard Pelisse in 1580 who described the water cycle; how the water evaporated from the ocean, forms into clouds, moves into the interior and falls down as rain. This water cycle is spoken about in the Quran in detail in many verses. Chap 39 verse 21, Chap 30 verse 24, Chap 15 verse 22, Chap 23 verse 18, Chap 24 verse 43, Chap 30 verse 48, Chap 7 verse 17, Chap 25 verse 48-49, Chap 35 verse 9, Chap 36 verse 34 and etc.

Now day’s science have also found out that Plants have sexes (Male or Female), 1400 years ago, the Quran told us this in Chap 20 verse 53.

Today we have also come to know that the there are two types of water, Salty (Bitter) and Sweet (Fresh) and there is a barrier between them, the Quran tells us this 1400 years ago in chap 25 verse 53.

Today science tells us, it is the mountains which prevent the earth from shaking, Which is mentioned in the Quran 1400 years ago Chap 78 verse 6-7

Science now also tells us that every living creature has been created from water, the Quran tells us this 1400 years ago in Chap 21 verse 30 (made from water every living thing)

The Quran speaks about the lifestyle of the spider in Chap 29 verse 41.

The Quran speaks about the ant in Chap 27 verse 17-18.

The Quran speaks about the bee in Chap 16 verses 66,68-69.

The Quran speaks about embryology in Chap 96 verse 1-2 also in Chap 23 verse 12-14



I can go on all day. There are more than 1000 verses in the Quran which speak about science discovered today.

Now you told me in the beginning the creator/inventor/manufacturer is the one who can tell you about this object which has never been heard of or seen of.

The one talking about all which I mentioned is certainly there creator and our creator. We Muslims call him Allah.

Answer 15

I think rather than putting out a broad spectrum question, you should take things one by one for an answer. Shooting such a question, obviously makes it evident that you have already a made up mind.



Besides, R&S section is not the right section to ask question about Islam. You should consider asking it in the Ramadan section.

Answer 16

I am not muslim but I will tell you not to leave your faith. There are many good people on Earth who follow the koran. Learn it by yourself and see the good in it. If you can learn other religion it will be better as you will see from others perspective also. But no religion is perfect though. That is why I prefer to see the good in all of them. There is only one religion and that is love,compassion,tolerance,humility,goodness. We are all one children of GOD that is the eternal truth. Respect others as you will respect GOD cultivate wisedom from everywhere.



The Buddha said:

Just as a mother would protect with her life her own son, her only son, so one should cultivate an unbounded mind towards all beings, and loving-kindness towards all the world.



Let your love flow outward through the universe, To its height, its depth, its broad extent, A limitless love, without hatred or enmity. Then as you stand or walk, Sit or lie down, As long as you are awake,

Strive for this with a one-pointed mind; Your life will bring heaven to earth.



Concerning science, Hinduism and Buddhism are much more closer than any religion. Saying Koran is scientific is not right, this is auto proclamation. From the experts themselves:



Carl Sagan (Cosmologist): "Hindu religion is the only one of the world’s great faiths dedicated to the idea that the cosmos itself undergoes an immense, indeed an infinite number of deaths and rebirths. It is the only religion in which the time scales correspond, no doubt, by accident, to those of modern scientific cosmology. Its cycles run from our ordinary day and night to a day and night of Brahma 8.64 billion years long. Longer than the age of the earth or the sun and about half of the time since the big bang. And there are much longer time scales still"



Walter Moore (Biographer of Erwin Schrodinger founder of quantum Physics): The unity and continuity of Vedanta are reflected in the unity and continuity of wave mechanics. In 1925, the world view of physics was a model of a great machine composed of separable interacting material particles. During the next few years, Schrodinger and Heisenberg and their followers created a universe based on super imposed inseparable waves of probability amplitudes. This new view would be entirely consistent with the Vedantic concept of All in One."



Erwin Schrodinger himself said: "“Vedanta teaches that consciousness is singular, all happenings are played out in one universal consciousness and there is no multiplicity of selves.”



Robert Oppenheimer (Physicist): The general notions about human understanding… which are illustrated by discoveries in atomic physics are not in the nature of things wholly unfamiliar, wholly unheard of or new. Even in our own culture they have a history, and in Buddhist and Hindu thought a more considerable and central place. What we shall find [in modern physics] is an exemplification, an encouragement, and a refinement of old wisdom."



Albert Einstein: "We owe a lot to Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made”. “When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous”.

Answer 17

Just ask yourself 2 questions:



1 why did they want to crusify Jesus.

answer He claimed to be God.

2 If Jesus claimed to be God (and He did) how can He be a prophet of Islam.



If Jesus claimed to be God He is either:

knowing He is not God, then He is a liar.

He thinks He is God but He is not then He is a lunatic.



Or He actually is God, and if this is so I would expect miracles

If you read a bible you will See Jesus Is God. He is the only way to Heaven.

Try it.

The lost sheep needs a shepherd to lead him. SO SAD :( Fear not sheep. There are many religions to lead you to the slaughter. Pick one.
