SPARE MY EAR, THAT THERE ARE NO CONTRADICTIONS IN QUR’AN Note: I do not reject the Quran because of this list of contradictions. There are many reasons of much more substantial nature why I do not believe the Quran to be from the one true God. It is my experience that many Muslims try to evade a discussion of the real issues regarding the truth of Islam and Christianity by pushing 101 Bible Contradictions (or similar compilations) into our face. Muslim web sites abound in articles and collections attacking the integrity of the Bible by means of contradiction lists Many have the attitude that because the Bible is riddled with contradictions, errors, absurdities and problems, there is no need for me to make the effort to understand it. With such an attitude no real dialog can develop My goal is to get beyond superficial word games to discussing the relevant core issues over which we differ by showing that there are even contradictions in Qur’an as such stop bickering that because the Bible seemingly contains errors therefore the Bible is not Gods word. The Quran on the other hand is free from discrepancies and this is proof that the Quran is from God 1. Who Was the First Muslim? Muhammad [6:14, 163], Moses [7:143], some Egyptians [26:51], or Abraham [2:127-133, 3:67] or Adam, the first man who also received inspiration from Allah [2:37]? Tell this is not contradiction 2. Can Allah be seen and did Muhammad see his Lord? Yes [S. 53:1-18, 81:15-29], No [6:102-103, 42:51]. Wow what a contradiction 3. What will be the food for the people in Hell? The food for the people in Hell will be only Dhari [Sura 88:6], or only foul pus from the washing of wounds [S. 69:36], or will they also get to eat from the tree of Zaqqum [S. 37:66]? Together, these verses constitute three contradictions. 4. Can Angels Cause the Death of People? The Quran attacks those who worship anyone besides God (e.g. angels or prophets) because those can neither create, nor give life, nor cause anyone to die. Yet, the Quran explicitly states that one angel or several angels are causing certain people to die [Sura 4:97, 16:28, 32, 32:11]. Which is which 5. To Marry or Not to Marry? The Quran forbids believers to marry idolatrous women [Sura 2:221], and calls Christians idolaters and unbelievers [9:28-33], but still allows Muslims to marry Christian women [5:5]. What do you consider? 6. Should Muslims show kindness to their parents? On the one hand, the Quran commands all Muslims to show kindness to their parents, even if they are disbelievers [17:23-24, 31:14-15, 29:8, etc.]. On the other hand, it demands not to show any love or friendship to those who oppose Muhammad, even if they are their parents [9:23, 58:22]. Hmm I hear there is no contradiction The list is endless
