Question:
If a Muslim admits there are errors in the Koran, what happens to him?
2006-08-31 20:29:53 UTC
Mountains are not made to prevent earthquakes...
Stars are not lamps placed in the lowest of the 7 "heavens"...
Stars are not made to protect us from evil spirits...
Flesh does not grow around a fetal skeleton...
The Earth is not flat like a carpet, nor is it egg shaped...
Many many more errors...

What happens to a Muslim who actually acknowledges these mistakes in the Koran?

you will run into the comparable difficulty if a Christian mentioned there are blunders interior the bible. you're able to have sane persons respond with a incredibly rational answer, such using fact the scriptures do not could desire to be suited, or some thing to show the blunders is probably not an blunders. greater possibly, as with all faith i might upload, you would be beseiged via the greater fundamentalist or enthusiast believers that declare it won't be in a position to be incorrect and so every physique asserting so is at maximum suitable a fool and at worst evil. it would rely heavily on the place they're and precisely what they say. A Muslim in united statesa. that could desire to assert considered one of those element may finally end up in heated debate. One in Iraq on the different hand may finally end up in a heated hearth-combat. On a greater own scale they could lose faith, yet on condition that the blunders is of significant consequence, which could't be the case otherwise it could have been provided a protracted time in the past. This very question is what sparks various the combating between religions and the non secular.

Hi.. are you a scientist?. obviously you don't know much about geography.. all that facts are backed up by scientific works.. come on.. lets go through it together

1. Mountains are made to prevent earthquakes

A book entitled Earth is a basic reference textbook in many universities around the world. One of its two authors is Professor Emeritus Frank Press. He was the Science Advisor to former US President Jimmy Carter, and for 12 years was the President of the National Academy of Sciences, Washington, DC. His book says that mountains have underlying roots. These roots are deeply embedded in the ground, thus, mountains have a shape like a peg... Mountains also play an important role in stabilizing the crust of the earth.4 They hinder the shaking of the earth. God has said in the Quran:



And He has set firm mountains in the earth so that it would not shake with you... (Quran, 16:15)



Likewise, the modern theory of plate tectonics holds that mountains work as stabilizers for the earth. This knowledge about the role of mountains as stabilizers for the earth has just begun to be understood in the framework of plate tectonics since the late 1960’s.

Refer to http://www.islam-guide.com/ch1-1-b.htm#footnote1



2.Stars are lamps placed in the lowest of the 7 heavens..

Obviously star are lamps.. and how do you know that there are no more than 1 layer of heaven? since science haven't reached a more advanced level yet..you cannot say thare are no layer..the best you can do is to say that you do not know..rather than saying thare are no 7 heavens



3.Stars are not made to protect us from evil spirits??

can you give us the Verses in the Qur'an about this? the last time i checked.. there's nothing about stars protecting us from evil spirits?



4.Flesh does grow around the skeleton.

Lol..where did you learn embryology.. Of course flesh grow around the skeleton..



"then We made out of that lump bones and clothed the bones with flesh; then We developed out of it another creature." 75:38



The above Ayah explicitly states that the bones are formed first and that this is followed by the formation of flesh or muscles which take their position around the bones (clothing the bones). In fact the primordia or precursors of both the bone and muscle (in the form of myotomes and selertomes(are present together with those of bones and other tissues and organs in a collective primitive structure are formed during the first 40 days and is found in the Mudghah. However, in this stage the primordia of muscle have not yet differentiated into definitive bones and muscles. As they do not have the shapes or forms of bones or muscles, the whole embryo at this stage does not have a human appearance.



During the seventh week- the skeleton begins to spread throughout the body and the bones take their familiar shapes. The embryo then starts to acquire the human appearance. At the end of the seventh week and during the eighth week the muscles take their positions around the bone forms, "definitive muscles of trunk, limbs and head are well represented and foetus is capable of some movement".



5. Well..i got to go..mail me, maybe we can discuss further

They'll probably get stoned, since their god, allah, is a stone statue of the moon god anyway. They set their holidays by the lunar calendar, their symbols are a moon and a star, and Mohammed was a pedophile marrying a 6 year old baby. Even if she didn't have sex with him till she was 9, she was still a child, making him a pedophile. Another wife was 9 too. But they try to cover up these facts as well as hide those errors in their holy text. That's what happens when you worship idols. Nothing seems to go right.

There are a few Qur'ans in the us distributed by anti-Islamic groups, and the mistakes may have came from one of them. Any Muslim who discovered false information in a book about Islam is obligated to speak up. There is one Qur'an , it is unchanged after 1500 years , If u could read and comprehend Arabie it would be easy for you to Grasp concepts in Islam.

They would not admit to it being they know what would happen if they did. So they would just work their way out of harms way and never say anything about it. Unless they wanted to warn the world but stil if they was smart they would get out of there first.

The same thing that happens to a christian when he admits there are errors in the bible.





Oh, A moron am I? (Note to self, spell-check this part heavily), I think I just told you, (and my thumbs up versus your thumbs down reflect that). That is sincere, or do I have to make it clearer? What do you expect the answer to be? They swell up until they explode and spew Islamic guts everywhere?

any person can admit to not understanding the Qur'an but that does not make the Qur'an wrong.



any Muslim who makes such a claim goes outside the realm of Islam and into 'kufr' or disbeleif.



as for your statements, please stand outside and catch the first big yellow big that'll take you to a brick building where you can learn something about science, history, religion. and perhaps understanding and tolerance too?

there are no errors in Quran. even scientists today beleive that.

i'll give u on example. -- about how humans are born and the confessions of scientists.



1) Dr. T. V. N. Persaud is Professor of Anatomy, Professor of Pediatrics and Child Health, and Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. There, he was the Chairman of the Department of Anatomy for 16 years. He is well-known in his field. He is the author or editor of 22 textbooks and has published over 181 scientific papers. In 1991, he received the most distinguished award presented in the field of anatomy in Canada, the J.C.B. Grant Award from the Canadian Association of Anatomists. When he was asked about the scientific miracles in the Quran which he has researched, he stated the following:



“The way it was explained to me is that Muhammad was a very ordinary man. He could not read, didn’t know [how] to write. In fact, he was an illiterate. And we’re talking about twelve [actually about fourteen] hundred years ago. You have someone illiterate making profound pronouncements and statements and that are amazingly accurate about scientific nature. And I personally can’t see how this could be a mere chance. There are too many accuracies and, like Dr. Moore, I have no difficulty in my mind that this is a divine inspiration or revelation which led him to these statements.” (View the RealPlayer video of this comment )



Professor Persaud has included some Quranic verses and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad in some of his books. He has also presented these verses and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad at several conferences.



Dr. Joe Leigh Simpson is the Chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Professor of Molecular and Human Genetics at the Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA. Formerly, he was Professor of Ob-Gyn and the Chairman of the Department of Ob-Gyn at the University of Tennessee, Memphis, Tennessee, USA. He was also the President of the American Fertility Society. He has received many awards, including the Association of Professors of Obstetrics and Gynecology Public Recognition Award in 1992. Professor Simpson studied the following two sayings of the Prophet Muhammad :



{In every one of you, all components of your creation are collected together in your mother’s womb by forty days...}2



{If forty-two nights have passed over the embryo, God sends an angel to it, who shapes it and creates its hearing, vision, skin, flesh, and bones....}3



He studied these two sayings of the Prophet Muhammad extensively, noting that the first forty days constitute a clearly distinguishable stage of embryo-genesis. He was particularly impressed by the absolute precision and accuracy of those sayings of the Prophet Muhammad . Then, during one conference, he gave the following opinion:



“So that the two hadeeths (the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad ) that have been noted provide us with a specific time table for the main embryological development before forty days. Again, the point has been made, I think, repeatedly by other speakers this morning: these hadeeths could not have been obtained on the basis of the scientific knowledge that was available [at] the time of their writing . . . . It follows, I think, that not only there is no conflict between genetics and religion but, in fact, religion can guide science by adding revelation to some of the traditional scientific approaches, that there exist statements in the Quran shown centuries later to be valid, which support knowledge in the Quran having been derived from God.”



Dr. E. Marshall Johnson is Professor Emeritus of Anatomy and Developmental Biology at Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. There, for 22 years he was Professor of Anatomy, the Chairman of the Department of Anatomy, and the Director of the Daniel Baugh Institute. He was also the President of the Teratology Society. He has authored more than 200 publications. In 1981, during the Seventh Medical Conference in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, Professor Johnson said in the presentation of his research paper:



“Summary: The Quran describes not only the development of external form, but emphasizes also the internal stages, the stages inside the embryo, of its creation and development, emphasizing major events recognized by contemporary science.

No Muslim would find error in the Koran to start with. Because, THERE IS NO ERROR. It is always a none Muslim, who talks about "errors" before they even asked "understanding" the Koran.



How do you find "errors" when you DON'T EVEN KNOW what it is about? First learn it, and spot the errors if there is any.
2006-08-31 20:34:25 UTC
Good point jenny!



He would probably be kille by his own family if he admits to these obvious errrors.



By the way, there are many more profound errors:"



Like... not believing Jesus is the Messiah. rejecting Christ's death on the cross...etc. ...which puts Muslims in the same class as Pagans.
2006-08-31 20:33:08 UTC
wont be a Muslim any more. because god says that there's no errors in the Quran, so if some one says other wise that means he disagrees with god.



oh and where do you get your scientific proofs to disqualify the word of god??



and btw, your name doesnt fool me you are one of those people who make multiple accounts to keep annoying others.

If a Muslim writes against the Qu'ran he is put on a dead list to be killed by another Muslim. Here is parts of the Qu'ran that will tell you why and how the Muslim are taught to think.



From an Islamic perspective it is important to assess blame. Who is the aggressor. Who has committed murder. This determines who is "innocent". Islam forbids killing an "innocent" person. It does not forbid killing. On the contrary, Islam demands that true Muslims participate in jihad for the cause of Allah.



Radical Islam hides behind moderate Islam. It is important for Muslims to be perceived as basically peace-loving, law-abiding citizens when they live in non-Muslim countries. According to the doctrine of taqiyah to infiltrate and destroy non-Muslim countries the true nature of Islam is concealed. In addition, when faced with quotes from the Qur'an a Muslim will say that they are taken out of context. Is is really only the "RADICAL" Muslims?



Very young children are indoctrinated to hate non-Muslims.

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/articl...



You say that you have never heard that in the Koran says anywhere that it gives anyone the right to kill anyone......Just read the Qur'an. Find out about the importance of terror in Islam and the duty of jihad and killing (jahada and qatala) in the cause of Allah. I have given the reference for each verse. Please feel free to read the entire sura and see if it makes any difference. These Muslim websites provide several English translations of the Qur'an:

http://www.quranbrowser.org

http://www.quransearch.com



Muslims are forbidden to kill "innocents" according to the Quranic definition of innocent.



Qur'ān Surah Al-Mã´edah 5:32

...If someone kills a human being, unless as a penalty for murder, or unless it is to prevent the spread of corruption in the world, it is as if he has killed the entire humanity. (Munir Munshey trans.)



...anyone who murders any person who had not committed murder or horrendous crimes, it shall be as if he murdered all the people. ... (Khalifa trans.)



... whosoever killed a person - unless it be for killing a person or for creating disorder in the land - it shall be as if he killed all mankind... (Sher Ali trans.)



And also

Qur'ān Sura Banî Israel 17:33

And do not kill anyone. Allah has prohibited it, except when it is rightful and befitting (and corresponds to the crime).(Munir Munshey trans.)



And slay not the soul, the slaying of which Allah has forbidden, save for a just cause...(Sher Ali trans.)...



In Islam it is a "just cause" it is "rightful and befitting" to kill Americans because Americans have spread corruption in the world (i.e. promiscuity, immodest dressing, etc.), Americans have "invaded" and "occupied" Afghanistan and Iraq, "committed murder", "horrendous acts", and "created disorder in the land". In Islam killing a person (or people from a country) that has invaded a Muslim territory or who has killed a Muslim is killing for "just cause". QED: Americans are not "innocent" under the Islamic definition. Killing Americans is for a "just cause". Qitl fee sybil Allah (killing in the cause of Allah) is fard ayn (a sacred duty) of ALL MUSLIMS, if I understand correctly.



Muslims have a SACRED DUTY to purge fitnah from the world.



Qur'ān Surah Al-Anfãl 8:39

So fight them (unbelievers) until there is no more fitnah (disbelief or worship of any god but Allah) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world) ... And fight with them until there is no more fitnah and religion should be ONLY for Allah.



Islam avers that Allah "does not beget nor was he begotten" and so Christians by worshipping Jesus are commtting blasphemy because worship should be "only for Allah".



Allah commands deeds of terror by the believers against the unbelievers as the means of creating the emotion of terror in their hearts. The only reason needed for action is that "they resisted Allah and His Messenger". Such an approach to "conflict management" is nothing to be ashamed about according to Islamic understanding, but it is a basis for PRIDE. According to Islam, it is one reason for the superiority of Muhammad over all other prophets.



It is EVERY Muslim's SACRED DUTY to fight in the jihad/qitl fee sybil Allah. (struggle/killing in the cause of Allah)



Qur'ān Surah al-Hujurat 49:15

Mumim (true Muslims) believe in Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad), and without doubt they strive in the cause of Allah (jihad fee Sybil Allah) with their WEALTH and their lives. Those! They are the sincere.



Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith) Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward, (Yusuf Ali trans.)



The verb qatala means to fight and kill.

Qur'ān Sura Barã´ah 9:29

Fight against the people of the book, those of them who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day, who do not forbid that which Allah and His messenger have forbidden, and who do not follow the religion of truth (Islam). (Fight against them) till they (agree to) pay ‘jazia’ (the submission tribute) and accept an inferior status (with humiliation and submission to the government of Islam.) (Munir Munshey trans.)

Nope. I'm not. I don't need to be. There are Islamic scientists now that says the Quran is messed up. There is muslim Geologists that say it's messed up. In fact..lets see what Islam Scholars and clerics themself say.



.Are There Mistakes in the Qur’an?

By : Azali

There are basically four different sources for the mistakes in the Qur’an. Let us consider these four sources as listed below:



Mistakes Muhammad was responsible for but can be attributed to the environment he lived in.

Mistakes of Muhammad that came from his limited Bedouin perspective.

Mistakes of Muhammad that he knowingly committed and developed.

Mistakes in the Qur’an intentionally committed by translation.



1. First, let us consider mistakes that do not come from Muhammad himself but from the environment in which he lived.



a) The first mistake is from the Jews. Muhammad tried to win the Jews to Islam and convert them into Muslims. Therefore, he adapted all of what the Jews had said to him about Abraham, Moses, David and so on. He wrote it down to look as if he were a Jew. Muhammad contextualized Islam to the extent that it looked as if it were a Jewish religion. However, the mistake was that the Jews did not tell Muhammad the real text from the Old Testament, but the Old Testament in the form of stories from the Mishna and the Talmud. Therefore, what he wrote down was incorrect; not a single sentence of what he had heard was the real truth. The Mishna and Talmud have fantastic stories about Moses and other things that are absolutely not biblical. E.g. the story that Satan came about because he was cursed for not falling prostrate to Adam when God asked him. This is not from Muhammad but from the Talmud. It is an explanatory story; it is not revelation. As in many stories like these, the mistakes did not come from Muhammad. He learned about them from Talmudic and Mishna stories. Therefore, Muhammad is not to blame for these mistakes. Approximately 60% of the Qur’an is made up from such orally transmitted stories about the Old Testament. A comparison of these Old Testament stories in the Qur’an with the revealed text of the Old Testament exposes the mistakes he received from the Jews. Why did the Jews deceive him? Maybe some Jews played with Muhammad. Maybe they did not know the stories very well. They wanted to make money and Muhammad was like a dry sponge. He wanted to know it. They laughed at him and told him stories, unbelievable stories.



b) Muhammad also received folklore stories from the Christians that were not true. In the Syrian area, the Syrian Christians had fantastic stories about the childhood of Jesus. Fake Gospels, fake books and fake stories had been circulated. E.g. Jesus, as a child, spoke immediately after birth in the manger. When Muhammad heard this, he believed it. He believed more than we believe about Jesus, because he believed these fables. He could not distinguish between the truth and fables. Christians did not exactly tell him the truth. Muhammad used children’s stories that mothers told to quiet their children and put them to sleep. E.g. As a boy, Jesus took clay, formed it into a bird, blew in it and then the bird came to life and it flew away (Sura 5:110). We know, today, in which books this had been written before Muhammad lived. Of the Syrian Christians, there are four or five books in which these stories are written. Muhammad heard it and believed it. He had been deceived by superficial or Sufi minded Christians.



Muhammad also met Copts and they had very different views. They made Jesus a God, writing that Jesus is God himself. Jesus, because he was God, did not become God in body, but only appeared as a man, yet he was not a man. The Copts believed it impossible for God to use a toilette. They alleged that when Jesus appeared as a man, he was really not a man; he was really God. They believed that God could not die, thinking if God were to die the whole universe would explode. Therefore, they believed he only appeared to have been crucified but he was not crucified. Muhammad also adopted this view that Jesus was not crucified but it only appeared to them to be so (Sura 4:157). Muhammad took stories from the Syrian Christians, who spoke about the life of Jesus as a child, and bad theology from the Copts, who made Jesus a God and not a man. There was no balance regarding the being of Jesus in the Middle East; man could only be man and God could only be God.



Muhammad was not at fault for such stories. He heard them, and he incorporated them into his system. His source was incorrect.



In the Middle East, there were many Christians who honored Mary. They nearly made Mary a Goddess. They considered Mary the greatest of all women. A Christian sect even said that the Trinity is composed of Father, mother and Son, (i.e. God, Mary and Jesus.) No Christian church today believes such things. Because Muhammad wanted to please the Christians in order to convince the Christians to become Muslims, he dialogued with them about theological issues. In the process, Muhammad came to believe the Christian Triune God was three gods made up of Father, mother and Son. Muhammad's so-called revelation (Sura 5:116), in which he rejects this false trinity, reflects his personal unawareness due to false information acquired from a Christian sect.



Muhammad tried his best to appear to the Jews as a Jew, to the Christians as a Christian and to the Animists as an Animist in order to make Muslims of them all. Consequently he adopted such things from the Jews, the Christians and from various different sects. He included all of these mistakes in the Qur’an as revelation of Allah and now Muslims claim these sectarian thoughts as the revealed truth of God. The source of these mistakes is not Muhammad; it is those who taught him these things.



c) Enmity between the Jews and Christians was another source of confusion in Muhammad's search to know God. The Christians fought the Jews because the Jews said, “Christ is not the Messiah,” and “Christ is not the Son of God.” The Jews fought the Christians because the Christians said, “You don’t know who God really is” and “You do not know the Spirit of God, you are only in the old covenant and do not know the new covenant of God.” They quarreled in front of Muhammad. It is written in the Qur’an, “The Jews say, the Christians are nothings and the Christians say, the Jews are nothings” (Sura 2:113). Out of this enmity, all of what one said against the other was incorporated into the Qur’an. Muhammad said: “God will punish you at the day of judgement for the differences you have among you.” He really wanted to know the truth and what he found were differences between Jews and Christians, as well as differences between right-wing Christians and left-wing Christians. He was very puzzled. Therefore, he accepted what he heard. He thought about these things and incorporated them into his own beliefs. In essence, he formed his own dough with ingredients from other religions and baked his own bread.



We have considered the first source of mistakes. They did not come from Muhammad himself but from Jews and Christians in his surrounding. Let us be merciful with Muhammad regarding these errors. We must be honest and consider the truth of how these errors came to being.



2. Other mistakes from Muhammad, which may not be his personal fault, can be attributed to his way of thinking as a Bedouin who had settled down after doing much trading by way of traveling caravans.



If you have ever lived with Bedouins in their tents and have slept with them, you know how they talk and sing around the fire in the evening. They have fantastic memories and fantastic fantasies. They have dreams, they have visions, but they actually have a very limited horizon. They have not studied history; they have no schools with geography, mathematics or physics. Most of them have no education at all. They only have their flocks of sheep with a huge sky over them at night and a blazing sun over them during the day. They typically believe in animism. Although they do not lack wisdom, they are part of a limited culture with a limited horizon. Because Muhammad lived among this culture, you find in the Qur’an that he mixed up names and people he had heard about. See the following examples listed below:



Muhammad declares Haman to be the advisor of Pharaoh, but Haman was in Babylon in the Jewish history. In the Qur’an he appears as the advisor of Pharaoh not the advisor of the king in Babylon.

He announces the Samaritans as the creators of the Golden Calf. He confused the Samaritan tribe that came nearly 700 years after Aaron with the twelve tribes of Israel in the desert.

He reports Mary, the mother of Jesus, be the sister of Aaron, because both have the same Arabic name, Mariam. So Miriam, the prophetess and sister of Moses and Aaron is also the mother of Jesus in the Qur’an. This is because the Arabic language has no (plusquamperfect in Latin) perfect in the perfect tense. What is finished is finished; what is going on will go on forever. So the limited horizon of the culture caused him to overlook the importance of 1,300 years between these two different individuals. So Mariam the sister of Moses became Mariam the mother of Jesus. Miriam and Mary in the Bible became one Mariam in the Qur’an. This is because of the non-historical aspect of Islam.

He has Jesus being born in the desert, not in Bethlehem. Since he was a Bedouin, he imagined Mary sitting at the trunk of a palm tree when it came time to give birth.



We should also understand that Muhammad did not have the Holy Spirit in him. Therefore, he could not understand spiritual things. He had to explain them in a biological sense. It was not within his capability to grasp or understand them. He had a limited horizon. Understanding that fact will better help you understand what is written in the Qur’an.



Muhammad adopted laws of the Quraish tribe into Islam. In Mecca, there was polygamy, the right of a husband to strike his wife and laws of inheritance prior to the revelations given to Muhammad. He did not make new laws; he simply confirmed the existing laws. He incorporated his Bedouin logic and his Bedouin culture into the Qur’an.

All the stories about paradise and hell are visions of a vivid imagination. Like a Bedouin traveling in the desert who dreams of water, green plants, fruits and various pleasures, Muhammad made paradise a fabulous garden with trees, plants and pleasures – all fulfilling mans earthly human senses. This is the Bedouin horizon or Bedouin logic. Consequently, hell is fire. The midday desert sun can make you think your head is going to explode like a pressure cooker. So, Muhammad made pictures of hell similar to what he was familiar with, very much like the stories he heard. This is the culture of the Bedouins.

Muhammad also incorporated Jihad, the Holy War philosophy, into Islam. Revenge is a commitment. If a Muslim were to forgive, this would be a sin because he has no right to forgive. He must take revenge. On the other hand, Christians can forgive because Jesus has forgiven. Jesus has forgiven not only our sins but also the sins of others. We are commanded to forgive. A Bedouin is compelled to not forgive. If he would forgive, it would be a crime because sin has to be punished. It is an issue of pride. They do not have the privilege to forgive. Muhammad was a Bedouin and this is best understood from that prospective.



Thus far we have discussed two different kinds of mistakes in the Qur’an. The first were the mistakes Muhammad had learned from Jews and Christians and the stories they did not clearly or accurately tell. The second were mistakes or shortcomings that came from the environment or culture of the Bedouins. Now let us consider the third source.



3. Mistakes he created purposely. These are serious mistakes.



When he had either heard wrongly or written wrongly, the Jews and the Christians sometimes told him, “Muhammad this is wrong.” He said, “No, this is not wrong, but you are wrong and I am right.” When they said to him, “In the Torah, it is written precisely this way, you should correct your Qur’an,” he said, “No, the text in your Bible was originally revealed true and faithful, but what you have in your hand, must have been altered, it must have been changed, because I have the true revelation.” So, he did not agree to be corrected. If he would have admitted that he was mistaken, he could no longer be called a prophet. For the sake of his prophethood, he attacked the others and confirmed the mistakes as truths. They reasoned with him saying, “These are mistakes.” The Jews and Christians tried to correct him, but he attacked them saying, “No, never. I am right and you are wrong. Therefore, your book was revealed without mistakes, but what you have in your hand must have been altered.” He did not accept corrections. Therefore, Muhammad became an anti-Christian, hardening his heart against the truth. Had he accepted correction, this would have proven that he was not a prophet because he could not distinguish between the truth and fables. If you look closely at these mistakes you will find this is a serious problem with the Qur’an.



4. There is a fourth kind of purposely-introduced mistake. These are introduced by the translations. (To a Muslim, the Qur'an in any other language other than Arabic is not a Qur'an, it is merely an interpretation of the Qur'an.)



Of all the known English translations of the Qur’an, there is not one that is true to the text. Consider The Glorious Qur’an translated by Pickthall—what nonsense! No Muslim says that the Qur’an is glorious. It is said, the Qur’an is either (karim) "noble" or it may be referred to as the wise Qur’an, but no Muslim says the glorious Qur’an in Arabic. So Pickthall made the noble or wise Qur’an glorious. In fact he made everything in the Qur’an more glorious than it is written in Arabic. If there is a strong point that is somewhat offensive, Pickthall makes it glorious. He purposely polished up the Qur’an in his translation.



Another example is a translation by anti-Christian, Yusuf Ali. All texts concerning Christ have been made to appear a little bit weaker to the reader. Ali purposely introduced mistakes into his translation of the Qur’an.



There is no possibility to have a real comprehension of the text of the Qur’an unless you learn Arabic. You will never succeed in learning the Qur’an by being clever – you must be stubborn. You must stubbornly learn three to four vocabulary words every day. The problem with the Qur’an is not the grammar, the problem is the endless vocabulary it uses. The Arabic grammar is like the Hebrew grammar. If you have studied Hebrew as theologians do, there is similar grammar in the Qur’an – the same system, the same problems, and the same possibilities. Some people are gifted in languages, but they cannot learn the Arabic of the Qur'an by this gift; you must learn it by heart. If you don’t learn the vocabulary of the Qur’an by heart, you will never grasp it. If you learn the 1,000 most important words of the Qur’an, you will be able to study the whole Qur’an. Other words can be looked up in a dictionary. Arabic is not a difficult language. However, it has an endless number of words that you must memorize. Therefore, if you want to learn the Qur’an, you need to learn the Arabic vocabulary.



We have seen that the Qur’an has many mistakes from many different sources. Now let us consider the kind of mistakes found in the Qur'an.



There are at least 12 geographical mistakes in the Qur’an. Muhammad did not use many geographical statements, probably because he was not well versed in geography. He did not say, “It was in this region" or "that region," or "it was in this town" or "that town.” He said things like, “Eastward" or "in the desert,” in order that no one would catch him in an error. He did not make many references to geography because he was unsure. But in 12 places where he used such terms, he was definitely mistaken.

Muhammad has 55 historical mistakes in which he clearly put people, places and stories in the wrong place and at the wrong time.

He has 9 contradictions relating to the conscience of people wherein people murder other individuals and he declares it halaal, or allowed.

He has 29 theological differences, where what he said about God, the Christ and the Holy Spirit is definitely wrong.

He has at least 25 grammatical mistakes in the Arabic language. He used the accusative case for the genitive case and the genitive case for the accusative case and so on. Any Arabic scholar or Arabic student can tell you these are mistakes. Again, you must know Arabic in order to recognize them. The Qur’an is not infallible. The Qur’an has Arabic grammar mistakes.

There are 21 sociologic mistakes.

There are 22 scientific mistakes.

There are 30 uses of plagiarism, where he used terminology and phrases from other books and religions and used them as though they were his revelation.

There are 65 mistakes or contradictions in the life of Muhammad himself. Some he confessed as mistakes, others he did not.



Unfortunately, exhibiting and explaining the detailed mistakes in the Qur'an is beyond the scope of this article. This is designed to explain the sources of mistakes in the Qur'an and to provide a short overview of the kinds of mistakes in the Qur'an.
