I have studied Christianity and the bible but I really want to know more about Islam. More evidence for Quran?

Question

If it's Mohammed or anyone who wrote it, how can he added so many knowledges on it?

Quran explains how the rain happened, the separartion between salt water and pure water, etc.

If the Quran was later compiled then how come it calls itself a book throughout? And if Muhammad really wrote it, well he would have been a sailor to describe the storms in the sea like that. That's a fact but the fact is he WAS living in the desert. Also, the Arabic was at its peak in richness but the Qur'an exceeds it supernaturally...the Qur'an was revealed over 23 years too.

And why would Muhammad write a book that would get his family friends n all of Arabia against him?
What Muhammad used to say is recorded in the hadeeth (sunnah). If we look at the Arabic style of the hadeeth, and compare it with the style of Quran, we can clearly see that they are clearly DIFFERENT, and DISTINGUISHABLE Arabic styles. He spoke in public. It doesn't make sense that he had two unique styles in speech.
More plz?

Answer 1

There's no more real evidence for Islam than another other religion. Religions are all superstitions.



Your claims of evidence for the Quran are really stretching it. They're not very strong points.



Any book written over a long period of time and later edited by others is bound to have varying writing styles. Though Mohammed lived in the desert, ships were a major part of trade, so people knew sailors and knew about storms at sea. And many people write books that turn family against them.



Notice that with all the claims of the Quran revealing scientific truths long ago, people were ignorant of those truths until science later revealed them. This is because the Quran didn't really reveal any such truths. At most, the Quran had verses in it that happened to correlate with what we later learned. The Quran also has many other statements that contradict science. The Quran says we came from sperm mixed with a blood clot. That's not true. Mohammed only got that one half right, because they didn't know about the women's reproductive system back then.

Answer 2

You have an understanding of improper. The Quran has been converted. It's within the ahadith approximately a goat consuming a verse, verses misplaced with guys killed in wrestle. Uthman burned rival copies of the Quran and Muhammad allowed for version readings, which nonetheless exist. Sunni and Shia have differing models additionally. I've learn that after coming into Saudi Arabia, Quran's are checked and those which can be diffeent from the only approved there are confiscated. So, you ought to be taught the reality and it isn't Islam. The Bible warned us approximately Islam from the begin. It says in Genesis that Ishmael might be a wild guy, his hand in opposition to all guys's fingers. That's the road for Muhammad and Islam. The Bible warns of fake prophets, fake teachings. It tells to experiment a spirit earlier than believing it, anything that Muhammad in no way did! The Bible says that within the End Times, the fans of the Antichrist and his faith will behead persons. Muslims are those who do this. one million John two:22, "Who is a liar however he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son." Islam denies The Father and The Son!

Answer 3

Ask this in the Ramadan section. People here will tell you to go blow yourself up and things like that.



I have a weird feeling this isn't a sincere question.

Answer 4

The Quran is no more amazing or accurate than any other religions book or text. Not only is it not supported by archaeological evidence, it contradicts the religions that it claims as being an offshoot from. Truly, it shows that "the victor writes history" is true.

Answer 5

Islam has an amazing similarity to the notions of Arianism.

Answer 6

Really ?

Answer these questions then concerning the Qur'an



I do not post these questions as a "proof" that Islam is false. I do not believe that is possible with a simple list of questions. Nevertheless, they are here to encourage discussion that the truth may be known.

The Qur'an says "To those who believe and do deeds of righteousness hath Allah promised forgiveness and a great reward" (Surah 5:9).

Question: Are you doing enough good deeds to receive salvation on the Day of Judgment?

Question: Are you doing all you can or are you relaxing in your dedication to Allah?

The Qur'an says, "O ye who believe! Turn unto Allah in sincere repentance! It may be that your Lord will remit from you your evil deeds and bring you into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, on the day when Allah will not abase the Prophet and those who believe with him. Their light will run before them and on their right hands; they will say: Our Lord! Perfect our light for us, and forgive us! Lo! Thou art Able to do all things," (66:8-9). Notice how it says if you are sincere you may receive forgiveness.

Question: How do you know you are sincere enough to be forgiven of Allah?

Question: Does it give you peace to know that even if you are very sincere that at best, you may receive forgiveness?

Question: If you say that you know you are sincere enough in your repentance before Allah, how do you know you are not deceiving yourself?

Question: Is your heart really good enough to muster enough sincerity before a Holy and Righteous God?

Question: If you say yes, I honestly and humbly ask you, "Are you being prideful?"

Question: If you say you are not being prideful, then are you boasting in your sincerity?

In Christianity, Jesus is God in flesh who paid for our sins on the cross (1 Pet. 2:24). Because of that, we Christians are secure in Him and do not have to worry about doing enough good works to please God since we are saved by grace through faith in Him, (Eph. 2:8-9).

Question: Why should we Christians give up our guarantee of salvation in Jesus for the requirements of your Qur'anic law when you yourselves don't even know if you have done enough good deeds to be saved on the Day of Judgment?

The Bible says that God is love (1 John 4:16) and that He loves all people (Matt. 5:43-48; John 3:16). The Qur'an never says that "God is love." In fact, the Qur'an says that Allah does not love unbelievers (2:98; 3:32).

Question: If Allah does not love unbelievers, can you say that Allah is love, especially if the Qur'an does not say it?

Question: If you say yes, that Allah is love, then why does he only love the Muslims and not all people?

Question: If you say Allah is love, is he more loving than the God of the Bible who loves all people?

In the Bible, Jesus said in John 15:13, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." In Christianity, the greatest act of love is performed by God Himself -- since Jesus is God in flesh (John 1:1, 14; Col. 2:9). Jesus is the one who fulfilled His own words on this. He laid His life down for us.

Question: What is the greatest act of love performed by Allah?

Question: If what Jesus said is true, then hasn't someone besides Allah performed the greatest act of love?

Question: Why do you, as a Muslim, want me to give up such a great love performed by God Himself (from a Christian perspective) for your belief in Allah who only loves people if they are Muslims?

Islam teaches that the Holy Spirit is Gabriel. In the Bible, the Holy Spirit lives in the Christians.

Question: If the angel Gabriel is the Holy Spirit, how can he dwell in us? (Note: According to the Nestle Aland Greek New Testament Textual Apparatus, there are no textual variations any of the following biblical references. They are recorded and transmitted to us accurately.)

"Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you," (2 Tim. 1:14, NASB).

"Do you not know that you are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?" (1 Cor. 3:16, NASB).

Lying is okay?

Question: Was Muhammad wrong for advocating lying? Is Lying okay? "Muhammad bin Maslama got up saying, "O Allah's Apostle! Would you like that I kill him [Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf]?" The Prophet said, "Yes," Muhammad bin Maslama said, "Then allow me to say a (false) thing (i.e. to deceive Kab). "The Prophet said, "You may say it," (Hadith Vol. 5, Book 59, #369).

Question: Who is more holy, Allah or Yahweh?

In the above quote from the hadith, Muhammad advocated lying. The Christian God would never approve of lying. Does the god of Islam approve of lying? If not, then wasn't Muhammad wrong? If he was not wrong, then Allah approves of lying. Which God is more holy? The God of Christianity is far more holy.

Answer 7

A very important Christian missionary converted to Islam and became a major herald for Islam, he was a very active missionary and was very knowledgeable about the Bible. This man likes mathematics so much, that's why he likes logic. One day, he decided to read the Qur'an to try to find any mistakes that he might take advantage of while inviting Muslims to convert to Christianity. He expected the Qur'an to be an old book written 14 centuries ago, a book that talks about the desert and so on. He was amazed from what he found.







He discovered that this Book had what no other book in the world has. He expected to find some stories about the hard time that the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) had, like the death of his wife Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her) or the death of his sons and daughters. However, he did not find anything like that. And what made him even more confused is that he found a full "Sura" (chapter) in the Qur'an named "Mary" that contains a lot of respect to Mary (peace be upon her) which is not the case even in the books written by Christians nor in their Bibles. He did not find a Sura named after "Fatimah"(the prophet's daughter) nor "Aishah" (the Prophet's wife), may Allah (God) be pleased with both of them. He also found that the name of Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him) was mentioned in the Qur'an 25 times while the name of "Muhammad" (Peace Be Upon Him) was mentioned only 4 times, so he became more confused. He started reading the Qur'an more thoroughly hoping to find a mistake but he was shocked when he read a great verse which is verse number 82 in Surat Al-Nisa'a (Women) that says:



“Do they not consider the Qur'an (with care)? Had it been from other than Allah, they would surely have found therein much discrepancy”.



Dr Miller says about this verse: “One of the well known scientific principles is the principle of finding mistakes or looking for mistakes in a theory until it’s proved to be right (Falsification Test). What’s amazing is that the Holy Qur'an asks Muslims and non-muslims to try to find mistakes in this book and it tells them that they will never find any”. He also says about this verse: "No writer in the world has the courage to write a book and say that it’s empty of mistakes, but the Qur'an, on the contrary, tells you that it has no mistakes and asks you to try to find one and you won’t find any."





Dr. Gary Miller.







Another verse that Dr Miller reflected on for a long time is the verse number 30 in Surat “Al-Anbiya” (The Prophets):



“ Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of Creation), before We clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?"



He says: ”This verse is exactly the subject of the scientific research that won the Noble Prize in 1973 and was about the theory of the “Great Explosion”. According to this theory, the universe was the result of a great explosion that lead to the formation of the universe with its skies and planets.



Dr Miller says: “Now we come to what’s amazing about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and what’s pretended about the devils helping him, God says:



“No evil ones have brought down this (Revelation), it would neither suit them nor would they be able (to produce it). Indeed they have been removed far from even (a chance of) hearing it.” The Holy Qur'an, Chapter 26, Verses 210-212.



“When thou does read the Qur'an, seek Allah's protection from Satan the Rejected One” The Holy Qur'an, Chapter 16, Verse 98.



You see? Can this be the devil’s way to write a book? how can he write a book then tells you to ask God for protection from this devil before reading that book? Those are miraculous verses in this miraculous book! and has a logical answer to those who pretend that it’s from the devil”.



And among the stories that amazed Dr Miller is the story of the Prophet(PBUH) with Abu-Lahab. Dr Miller says: “This man (Abu Lahab) used to hate Islam so much that he would go after the Prophet wherever he goes to humiliate him. If he saw the prophet talking to strangers, he used to wait till he finishes and then ask them: What did Muhammad tell you? If he said it’s white then it’s in reality black and if he said it’s night then it’s day. He meant to falsify all what the prophet says and to make people suspicious about it. And 10 years before the death of Abu Lahab, a Sura was inspired to the prophet, named “Al-Masad”. This sura tells that Abu Lahab will go to hell, in other words, it says that Abu Lahab will not convert to Islam. During 10 years, Abu Lahab could have said: “Muhammad is saying that I will not become a Muslim and that I will go to the hell fire, but I’m telling you now that I want to convert to Islam and become a Muslim. What do you think about Muhammad now? Is he saying the truth or no? Does his inspiration come from God?”. But Abu Lahab did not do that at all although he was disobeying the prophet in all matters, but not in this one. In other words, it was as if the prophet(PBUH) was giving Abu Lahab a chance to prove him wrong! But he did not do that during 10 whole years! he did not convert to Islam and did not even pretend to be a Muslim!! Throughout 10 years, he had the chance to destroy Islam in one minute! But this did not happen because those are not the words of Muhammad (PBUH) but the words of God Who knows what’s hidden and knows that Abu Lahab will not become a Muslim.



How can the prophet (PBUH) know that Abu Lahab will prove what is said in that Sura if this was not inspiration from Allah? How can he be sure throughout 10 whole years that what he has (the Qur'an) is true if he did not know that it’s inspiration from Allah?? For a person to take such a risky challenge, this has only one meaning: that this is inspiration from God.



“Perish the hands of the Father of Flame (Abu Lahab)! perish he! No profit to him from all his wealth, and all his gains! Burnt soon will he be in a Fire of blazing Flame! His wife shall carry the (crackling) wood; As fuel! A twisted rope of palm-leaf fibre round her (own) neck!” The Holy Qur'an, Chapter 111.



Dr Miller says about a verse that amazed him: One of the miracles in the Qur'an is challenging the future with things that humans cannot predict and to which the “Falsification Test” applies, this test consists of looking for mistakes until the thing that is being tested is proved to be right. For example, let’s see what the Qur'an said about the relation between Muslims and Jews. Qur'an says that Jews are the major enemies for Muslims and this is true until now as the main enemy for Muslims are the Jews.



Dr Miller continues: This is considered a great challenge since the Jews have the chance to ruin Islam simply by treating Muslims in a friendly way for few years and then say: here we are treating you as friends and the Qur'an says that we are your enemies, the Qur'an must be wrong then! But this did not happen during 1400 years!! and it will never happen because those are the words of The One who knows the unseen (God) and not the words of humans.



Dr Miller continues: Can you see how the verse that talks about the enmity between Muslims and Jews constitutes a challenge to the human mind?



“Strongest among men in enmity to the Believers wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the Believers wilt thou find those who say, "We are Christians": because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant. And when they listen to the revelation received by the Messenger, thou wilt see their eyes overflowing with tears, for they recognize the truth: they pray: "Our Lord! We believe; write us down among the witnesses” The Holy Qur'an, Chapter 5, Verses 82-84.



This verse applies to Dr Miller as he was a Christian but when he knew the truth, he believed and converted to Islam and became a herald. May Allah support him.



Dr Miller says about the unique style of the Qur'an that he finds wonderful: No doubt there is something unique and amazing in Qur'an that is not present anywhere else, as the Qur'an gives you a specific information and tells you that you did not know this before. For example:



"This is part of the tidings of the things unseen, which We reveal unto thee (O Prophet!) by inspiration: thou was not with them when they cast lots with arrows, as to which of them should be charged with the care of Maryam: nor was thou with them when they disputed (the point)” The Holy Qur'an, Chapter 3, Verse 44.



“Such are some of the stories of the Unseen, which We have revealed unto thee: before this, neither thou nor thy People knew them. So persevere patiently: for the End is for those who are righteous” The Holy Qur'an, Chapter 11, Verse 49.



“Such is one of the stories of what happened unseen, which We reveal by inspiration unto thee: nor was thou (present) with them when they concerted their plans together in the process of weaving their plots” The Holy Qur'an, Chapter 12, Verse 102.



Dr Miller continues: “No other holy book uses this style, all the other books consist of information that tells you where this information came from. For example, when the Holy Bible talks about the stories of the ancient nations, it tells you that a this King lived in a this place and a that leader fought in that battle, and that a certain person had a number of kids and their names are. But this book (Bible) always tells you that if you want to know more, you can read a certain book since that information came from that book”.



Dr Garry Miller continues: “This is in co

Answer 8

7.1) Miracles of Quran



7.1.1) The first revelation of Quran to unlettered Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) was:



"Read! In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists), has created man from something that clings. Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous, Who has taught (the writing) by the pen, has taught man that which he knew not. (Quran:Surah 96 Al-Alaq:1-5)



Only this verse is full of miracle! How? "Has created man from something that clings" No science, no biology, no zoology and no genetic was known at that time. And just recently science told us, "The sperm clings through the cervical mucus (thick fluid that helps to protect the cervix and uterus from infection), into the uterus, and up the fallopian tubes (channels connecting the ovaries to the uterus), where fertilization normally occurs. If a sperm is able to penetrate, or fertilize, an egg, and if other conditions are favorable, the fertilized egg will travel from the fallopian tubes to the uterus, where it will implant itself in the uterine lining and fetal development will begin. (Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia 2003).



7.1.2) Steps for formation of baby:



Here the steps for formation of baby is mentioned minutely: The stage of foetus, then making of bones from that, then covering of bones with flesh and at last making of creature. Modern biology had told that up to formation of embryo structure of baby remains similar for all animals and after that it is developed out into creature as per type.



Then We made the sperm into a clot of congealed blood; then of that clot We made a (foetus) lump; then We made out of that lump bones and clothed the bones with flesh; then We developed out of it another creature: so blessed be Allah the Best to create! (Quran;23 Al-Muminun-14)



7.1.3) Preservation of the Body of Pharaoh:



We find very strange historical information about the preservation of the body of Pharoah, the Eqyptian king who claimed god-hood and opposed Prophet Moses (peace be upon him):



"We led the Children of Israel across the sea. Fir'on and his hosts pursued them with wickedness and oppression, until when drowning, he cried out: "I believe that there is no god but Him in Whom the Children of Israel believe and I have become one of the Muslims." In response it was said to him: "Now you believe! But a little while before you were disobedient and one of the mischief-makers! We shall save your body this day, so that you may become a sign for the succeeding generations, indeed many among mankind are heedless of Our signs!" (Quran 10 Yunus V-90-92)



Up till start of 20th century all world was asking from Muslims where your God have protected body of Pharaoh? It was found virtually intact by the British archaeologists Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon in 1922. And later mumyphied bodies of all other kings of Pharaoh Tribe. And very recently it is proved that one Pharaoh's mummy has effect of sea water and ooze. And that is Pharaoh who chased Moses (paece be upon him).



7.1.4) Ideas about Creation of Universe:



Then He turned towards the sky, which was but SMOKE, He said to it and to the earth: ‘Come forward both of you willingly or unwillingly,’ and they submitted: ‘ We shall come willing’. (Quran;41-11)



Now science has given proof after Einstein's theory of relativity about this verse. "Big Bang Theory: Currently accepted explanation of the beginning of the universe. The big bang theory proposes that the universe was once extremely compact, dense, and hot. Some original event, a cosmic explosion called the big bang, occurred about 10 billion to 20 billion years ago, and the universe has since been expanding and cooling.

….

Because scientists cannot look back in time beyond that early epoch, the actual big bang is hidden from them. There is no way at present to detect the origin of the universe. Further, the big bang theory does not explain what existed before the big bang. It may be that time itself began at the big bang, so that it makes no sense to discuss what happened “before” the big bang. (Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia 2003.)



Allah (The All-Mighty) has created that.



7.1.5) Creation of Living Creature from Water:



Again we see with explaining about big-bang, modern scientific of theory about creation of living creature is discussed. Darwin who believed that man of son of ape in an evolutionary step before millions of years is not correct. He was able to find half truth like blinds; who, touched different parts of an elephant.



Read Quranic verse on that topic: "Have not the unbelievers ever considered that the skies and the earth were once one mass, then We split them asunder? And We have created every living thing from water. Will they still not believe? (Quran Sura21 Al-Anbiya V-30)



And again this topic is discussed in more details: "Allah has created from water every living creature: of them there are some that creep upon their bellies, some that walk on two legs, and yet some that walk on four; Allah creates what He pleases; surely Allah has power over everything. (Quran Sura24 An-Nur V-45)



7.1.6) Modern Plate Theory of Earth:



Here we find the general idea of techtonics.



"And We have planted mountains on earth lest it should tilt to one side with them and We left between them open passages so that they may find the right direction. (Quran Sura21 Al-Anbiya V-31)



7.1.7) Orbital Motion of Planets and Stars:



The orbits of sun and moon is very recent finding of science but Quran tell us about this simply:



"He is the One Who has created the night and the day and the sun and the moon: all (the celestial bodies) move swiftly in an orbit of their own. (Quran Sura21 Al-Anbiya V-33)



You see that presence of our earth, as a part of big constellation is very recent information by modern space shuttles but Quran give this information:



"Blessed is the One Who has decked the sky with constellations and placed in it a lamp and a shining moon. (Quran Sura25 Al-Furqan V-61)



7.1.8 Setting places of Stars:



I swear by the setting of the stars, and it is indeed a mighty oath if you but knew it, that this is indeed a Glorious Qur'an, inscribed in a well-guarded Book, which none can touch except the purified (angels): a revelation from the Rabb of the worlds. (Quran, AlWaqiya 75-80)



Stars are visibly very small bodies. But this verse tells us that it is very big if we know and also it refers to setting of stars. It is very recent scientific information that stars are very big bodies million times bigger that our earth. And these are in a process of continuous making and breaking by forces of attraction and repulsion and other atomic reactions. The light takes millions of years to reach to us from these stars. And many of stars are diminished millions years before the light reached to us.



7.1.9 Preservation of Ark of Prophet Noah (pbuh) :



Allah the All-Mighty mentions in Quran about Ark of Noah (pbuh) and inform that this Ark has been made a sign for the people of world. Very recently the fossilized Ark is found in Turkey near the border of Syria.



We sent Nuh (Noah) to his people and he lived among them a thousand years less fifty. Then because of their wrongdoings the flood overtook them. But We delivered him and all who were in the ark and We made that ark a sign for the peoples of the world. (Quran Al-Ankabut V-14&15)



7.1.10 Finger Prints :



The study of fingerprints was made by the Czech physiologist Johannes Evengelista Purkinje in 1823. He proposed a system of classification for finger prints. The use of fingerprints for identification purposes was proposed late in the 19th century by the British scientist Sir Francis Galton, who wrote a detailed study of fingerprints in which he presented a new classification system using prints of all ten fingers. In the 1890s the police in Bengal, India, under the British police official Sir Edward Richard Henry, began using fingerprints to identify criminals. And as assistant commissioner of metropolitan police, Henry established the first British fingerprint files in London in 1901. But we find Quran has mentioned the uniqueness and specialty of these lines of finger tips centuries before when the world was even far away from any type of scientific studies.



Quran mentions : "Does man think that We shall not be able to put his bones together? Why not? We are able to put together, in perfect order, the very tips of his fingers. (Quran Al-Qiyamat V-3&4)



7.1.11 Area for Thinking Power in the Brain :



It has been established very recently by the biological scientists that Emotion, behaviour, awareness and memory occurs and come to action in the frontal part of the brain. But we see Quran has mentioned this facts centuries ago in the following sense:



"Have you seen the one (Abu Jahl) who forbids. Our servant from offering Salah (prayer)? Have you considered, if He was on the right guidance, or was enjoining true piety, why he would forbid someone from prayer? Have you considered, if he denies the truth and turns away, what will happen? Does he not know that Allah is observing all things? Nay! Let him know that if he does not stop, We will drag him by the forelock, a lying, sinful forelock. So let him call his supporters for help, (Quran Al-Alaq V-9&17)



7.1.12 Heart Disease Described in an Example of Feeling of Disbelievers:



Medical specialists know very clearly about the symptoms of heart disease that heart veins are shrunken and flow of blood is obstructed. Allah the All-Mighty told about this situation in Quran while specifying the behaviour of criminals about the truth:



"Whomever Allah wills to guide, He opens his chest to Islam and whomever He intends to confound, He makes his chest narrow and squeezes so tight that, at
