Contradictions and inconsistencies in the quran?
-
All mankind doesnt speak arabic, and few people who didnt grow up with the language will ever master it to a degree where "evidence" such as linguistic quality makes any sense.
Here is one more stupidity of Magi..
Is there a worn inside you which does not let you stay calm? If god has used arabic language then what is problem whith you?
-
I dont have a problem with it at all. I have a problem with retards who claim that one language cannot be translated into another, with full meaning avaible.
-
Good post Fahad, hope we will see some 'attempt' from the OP at least...
viartualeye- I hope you can read Magi's response, I think he has clarified himself, no need to call him 'stupid', infact if you want you can take a lesson from 'enquirer' and call posts stupid, we won't think the person is, promise!

Peace darbari. ok,you say these sunnat of allah are specific to just those verses,so i wont discuss that with you...(im sure many 'quran only' would disagree,and it would be nice of them to explain the verses if they think/agree that allah does not ever change his sunnat or laws.) Ok,then explain those list of strange literal occurences like a stick turning into a snake,virgin birth etc,etc...
Most especially what does sujood to adam mean when you should only do sujood to allah alone? Any takers?... -
Peace agentxxx. My brother i find your honesty and humbleness very refreshing.You seem to be on a path to discovery and learning. Reality is a great 'teacher' and destroyer of 'illogical' interpretations.A true message from god is never unclear to a sincere mind...I dont think anybody needs so-called strong 'beliefs'...They need open-minds,strong verified practical universal logic,and practical good morals...
Take it easy and peace. Ps;you have a very mischievious sense of humour...when is our first cricket match,boss?... -

Enquirer- Emotional outbursts do you no good. Address the issues if you can.
Good morning sister, the enemy is now tryin to stir the air between the both of us

Peace bro agent,
Sis here are some of the inconsistencies that I find hard to comprehend, please note that I have never claimed to be an intellectual, I am just an average humane being
I think you would find it strange for someone to claim to be an intellectual here without being quite emphatically put down from different fronts, so no worries.
I wish I was like you, brother ahmed, brother zenge and all other bros/sisters on the forum who have a very strong belief, unfortunately my own understanding stands in my way. I cannot pretend to have a strong faith in the book because that would be hypocrisy. So I try to be honest to myself as well as the others on the forum and express my views in the light of my own understanding of the book at the present moment.
Please don't try to be like someone else, you are what you are and that is what makes you unique. We all have our doubts and being honest about it and trying to learn is quite enough as it is.
Let me see if I can try and help resolve these issues that are problematic. I'll address what I can and in some places link you to previous discussions about it as more opinions with evidence are better than just one. I'm sure others can help as well. It is friday night and I would like to take in a movie as well )

Alkhabeethatu lilkhabeetheena waalkhabeethoona lilkhabeethati waalttayyibatu lilttayyibeena waalttayyiboona lilttayyibati ola-ika mubarraoona mimma yaqooloona lahum maghfiratun warizqun kareemun
The cheaters/wicked (F) (are) to the cheaters/wicked (M) , and the cheaters/wicked (M) (are) to the cheaters/wicked (F) , and the good/pure (F) (are) to good/pure (M) , and the good/pure (M) (are) to the good/pure (F) , those are being made innocent/pure from what they are saying, for them (is) forgiveness and generous/kind (reimbursement).
To me, this looks like a general principle that can be violated due to any number of reasons because of what a man or woman might choose to do. It doesn't mean that it is set in stone and that it must always happen, as a human's free choice plays into their lives. It means that these 'types' usually end up with each other but there are exceptions which are also shown. In cases of exceptions, it becomes a trial for them, just like we have any type and number of trials in our lives. Could it be that these men or women wanted to marry these people at the time and found out later what a mistake they made? We don't know the entire circumstances of their lives, but we do know that things like this happen all the time. Therefore, it becomes more important to know the people that one would want to spend their lives with and not just that but who we keep company with etc. Like the saying, 'like is to like'.

I would like to state that the be is a process, not magic emphasized by 'so it will become'. This process might seem different depending on our perspectives which are time dependent. God is outside time.
Here is a thread that may help further-

41 9. Say What! do you indeed disbelieve in Him Who created the earth in TWO PERIODS, and do you set up equals with Him? That is the Lord of the Worlds.
4110. And He made in it mountains above its surface, and He blessed therein and made therein its foods, in FOUR PERIODS alike for the seekers.
4111. Then He directed Himself to the heaven and it is a vapor, so He said to it and to the earth Come both, willingly or unwillingly. They both said We come willingly.
4112. So He ordained them seven heavens in TWO PERIODS, and revealed in every heaven its affair; and We adorned the lower heaven with brilliant stars and (made it) to guard; that is the decree of the Mighty, the Knowing.There are different vantage points regarding time and space. These periods can be pointing to them. Additionally there was some discussion about the lower heaven etc in some category recently, might I suggest a search? It is not a contradiction in any case.

And We had created/seeded to Hell many from the Jinns , and the human/mankind, for them (are) hearts/minds they do not understand/learn with it, and for them (are) eyes/sights they do not see/look/understand with it, and for them (are) ears they do not hear/listen with it, those are as the camels/livestock, but they are more misguided, those are the ignoring/neglecting .
I do not see any contradiction. God created jinn and men so that they serve Him. They rebel/choose not to and end up in hell.
In all these, it is essential to take in all the book and it's facets to learn the most from what one verse is saying. It gives powerful concepts when put together.
I hope this has helped.

Good mornin' bro AB,
Indeed, let's just all of us try to answer as much as we can, and get some good substantial discussion going. It's been a long time!

Did u read my previous post? ???

Peace darbari. ok,you say these sunnat of allah are specific to just those verses,so i wont discuss that with you...
me say ?! i showed u the verses . thats what the verses are saying . do u agree with my explanation or not ? finish this one first , so we can move on .
(im sure many 'quran only' would disagree,and it would be nice of them to explain the verses if they think/agree that allah does not ever change his sunnat or laws.)
huh?! still insisting ? can u quote or give reference to any other such verses ?
Ok,then explain those list of strange literal occurences like a stick turning into a snake,virgin birth etc,etc...
Most especially what does sujood to adam mean when you should only do sujood to allah alone? Any takers?...first, list your favourite "contradictions" together please . it would be better to post them in the original post of this thread .

Good mornin' bro AB,
Indeed, let's just all of us try to answer as much as we can, and get some good substantial discussion going. It's been a long time! D
Thanks sister
i read your reply to brother agent regarding the Zani who should marry a Zania or a Mushrika....., your answer is great, in fact this is the general rule but any rule must have an exception, in addition to your logic i have to say that many people understand this verse wrong as a law that must be applied on all generally
i actually don't see it as a law applied on us rather extra info told to us that if the zani wants to marry, most likely he will marry a zania or a mushrika (knowing or not knowing in advance) and vice versa regarding the Zania
therefore i can't take it as a law "THAT MUST HAPPEN THIS WAY" rather Allah is telling us some secrets of His complete devine knowledge
However if we assume it is a law that must happen to every zani and zania, then I don't see this law applied on the wives of prophet Nuh and prophet Lut because the verse says "Wa Al Zania La Ynkaha Ila Zani Aw Mushruik)
most importantly the quran never told us that any of the wives of prophet Lut and Nuh was "Zania", therefore the above assumed law does not apply to them
The verse was specific to whom The Zani and Zania will marry, and I never read any where that these prophets wives were as such
I will look at brother agent comment again and see if I can add something later as i kjust waked up and have a lot of huse cleaning to do D
Salam

Peace zenje,bmbmm and all. Even if the quran is clear and gods words(which i dont necessarily agree with.) how come after 1400 years we still dont know half of it,and we are still discussing salat,hajj,slaves etc.. How come the 'quran only' community is not exactly at the forefront of world affairs or making great contributions to science and civilisation? How long has 'quran only' existed? Did all the previous generations get it wrong? Give me a few examples of success from the 'quran only' community? whats the use of gods words if nobody properly understands it,or no peace/success is achieved through it? Im sure many sincere people have tried to interpret the quran and still come up with little consensus....A book that we can all be divided with. )
Salam eq,
I think there is not such thing as Quran only, yet its however is comming to existance soon when we understand the quran with knowledge and open mind. This is gona be difficult because there is also evil, satan on the side. If I am satan the only thing I will do is to change the Quran, and if I can't I will twist the understanding of the quran, which is what have been happening from the day the Quran was established. The challenge is if the Quran is not from Allah you will find contradictions in it. Which you will not find. There is nothing wrong with the Quran, whats wrong are the devil among the jinns and men.

2426. BAD WOMEN .are for BAD MEN and BAD MEN are for BAD WOMEN. GOOD WOMEN are for GOOD MEN and GOOD MEN are for GOOD WOMEN.I believed myself also that this verse is approached wrong, there is something fishy...QXP and Ahmed Ali, approached it a bit differently
QXP
2426 Evil women keep company with evil men, and evil men keep company with evil women. Likewise, men and women of good character are companions to one another (971, 112). The latter are innocent of whatever people might say about them. For them is the absolution of their imperfections and honorable provision.AA
2426. Bad women deserve bad men, and bad men are for bad women; but good women are for good men, and good men for good women, for they are innocent of what people say. There is forgiveness for them and a gracious provision.Quote
6610. Allah sets forth an example to those who disbelieve THE WIFE OF NUH and the WIFE OF LUT they were both under two of Our righteous servants, but they acted treacherously towards them so they availed them naught against Allah, and it was said Enter both the fire with those who enter.The wife of Nuh, betrayed him, that is why God calls that son, not his son.
- "O Noah", He answered, "truly he is not of your family. He is surely the outcome of an unrighteous act. So ask Me not of what you do not know. I warn you not to be one of the ignorant."
So AA translation applies better
6610 God advances the example of Noah's wife and the wife of Lot for those who don't believe. They were married to Our two pious devotees, but they were unfaithful to them, and even (the apostles) could not avail them in the least against God; and it was said to them "Enter Gehenna with those condemned to enter it."
So this refers not to Lut and Noah being good and their wifes bad, and by thus makes this verse contradicting, it is about that only sinfull acts can be done with sinfull people, so like adultery can only be done with two adulterers, and between a believer and an adulterer, because the believer wouldn't be a believer anymore when he/she performs a 'sin'. So this verse is even perfect, because it tells that sinfull acts are only done by 'bad' people, because you can only be good through your deeds. So it just states a fact, and doesn't contradict. The wife of Noah could have only commited adultery with another 'bad' man, and since she was married to Noah, didn't make Noah bad, since their relationship was lawfull. Deeds between people can only be when they're on the same level.
Quote
nuh and lut lived thousands of years before the book was revealed, but the book saysMaybe his message and memory lived with the people for a thousand years, doesn't that sound more logical?
Just a thought....Quote
2117. Wonderful Originator of the heavens and the earth, and when He decrees an affair, He only says to it, BE, so there it is.The creation of matter is out of nothing as proven by the string-theory.
In "Parallel Worlds" Dr Kaku, world known co-founder of String theory, states
" At first, one might object to the notion of amultiverse, because it seems to violate known laws, such as the conservation of matter and energy. However the total matter/energy content of a universe may actually be very small. The matter content of universe, including all the stars, planets, galaxies, is huge and positive. However, the energy storedwithin gravity may be negative. If you add positive nenergy due to matter to the negative nergy due to gravity, the sum may be close to xero!.In some sense, such universes are free. They can spring pout of the vacuum almost effortlessly.( if the universe is close then the total energy content of the universe must be zero.In fact to creat a universe like ours may require a rediculously small net amount of matter, perhaps as little as an oune.As "Guth"like to say,"the universe may be a free lunch".This idea of creating universe from nothing was frist introduced by physicist Edward Tyron of Hunter college of the City University of NEw York, in a paper published in "Nature" magazine in 1973. He speculated that the univese is something <" which happens from time to time" due to a quantum fluctuation in the vacuumAlthought the net amount of matter required to creat a universe may be close to zero, thismatter must be compressed to incredible densities.
He continues to discuss," Although the universe from nothing theory cannnot be proved with conventional means, it does help to answwer very practical questions about the universe. For example why deos not the universe spin?Everything we see around us spins , from tops, hurricanes,plantes, and galaxies to quasars. It seems to be a universal characteristic of matter in the niverse. But the universe itself doe snto spin. When we look at the galaxies in the heavens, their total spin cancels out to zero.
He adds," this is quite fortunate, becasue if the universe did spin then time travel would become common place and history would be impossible to write.The reason why the univese does not spin may be that our univese came from nothing. Since the vacuum does not spin, we do not expect to see any net spin arising in our universe. In fact all the bubble universes with in the multiverse may have zero net spin."Quote
10 3. Surely your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in SIX PERIODS, and He is firm in power, regulating the affair, there is no intercessor except aher His permission; this is Allah, your Lord, therefore serve Him; will you not then mind?This talks about how the matter got organized, so it doesn't talk about the creation of matter, but about the organizing of the matter (after the creation of matter itself) into clusters and eventualy into stars and planets and so on from the big-bang to now, so here we are already beyond the 'Be and it is' phase.
Quote
the earth in TWO PERIODS
seven heavens in TWO PERIODSAs you can see, the Quran explains here, that the earth is part of the heavens, the stars and all other formations in the universe. So this refers to all formations in the universe of stars and planet-bodies took 2 stages. Remember these stages don't refer to every stage taking the same amount of time, but refer to different stages, parts of development. It is proven that from the big-bang to us now, the universe had 6 stages, all taking different time spans, but each were seperate stages, each having different phases how matter formed clusters of planets and so on, plus the placement of energy being different in every phase, as when planets and suns appeared gravity had more influence in the stages. I will see i can quote a scientist on this, i have it somewhere...to many books....
Quote
in FOUR PERIODSThis refers to that the develoment of life on earth took place in 4 different stages, and again repeat, NOT 4 seperate stages of the same time span. But 4 distinctly different stages. As in total it took from the bigbang, to our age, 6 different stages of development of different elapses of time.
Quote
We adorned the lower heaven with brilliant stars is explained by the part that comes before
seven heavens and each of those 'heavens' hasits affair and again i believe Ahmed Ali translated it correctly
12. Then He created several skies in two spans, and ingrained in each sky its function, decking the nearest heaven with lamps, and guarded it. This has been determined by the mighty and all-knowing.From which it is more logical that the skies here refer to the several layers of dimensions that hold our space-time fabric together, as theorized by S.Hawking, and in the string-theories, and from which ours is the only one with matter, and the other are the holders of the laws and the basis of our universe.

4158. Nay Allah raised him up unto Himself;...Was Jesus raised alive?
3144 says all messengers passed away before him.
2957 says every soul must taste of death.
1933 says the day I way born, THE DAY I DIE, and the day I am raised to life.If he was raised alive then does that mean he will come back and then die? then he will be raised to life again on the judgment day ?
Was he given the book in the cradle?For explaining this, i will post a booklet written by a genius, at the end of this reply...
But first, this is a wrong translation of this verse as Ahmed Ali, Muhammed Asad and dr.Shabbir Achmed.
As we have to look at the word used here is rafaa, see its uses 1957, 4015, 5623, 944.AA
4158. But God raised him up (in position) and closer to Himself; and God is all-mighty and all-wise.QXP
Nay, Allah exalted him unto Himself. (They had plotted thinking that crucifixion was a death of dishonor. But Allah raised him in honor). Allah is Almighty, Wise.
The Qur'an does not say that Jesus was raised up in body. 4157 describes
that he was saved from the Cross. 355 points to his physical death, absolving
him of all slander and honoring him. Raf?a here means raising him in honor, and
not in body. 1933 again tells of his physical death. Further 3144 reads,
"Muhammad is but a Messenger. Messengers before him have passed away."
Most explicitly 2134 states, "We have not granted immortality to any person
before you." And if God is Omnipresent, ascension to Him becomes
meaningless.
(The reader is referred to explanation of the Qur'an by Sir Syed Ahmad Khan,
Muhammad Asad, Ubaid Ullah Sindhi, and Abul Kalam Azad for further details
and confirmation on the subject)And the reference of him being a prophet from the cradle, is symbolic for the young age he became prophet, if it really was from the cradle, i don't believe so, because this refers to her returning to her family and them being surprised she had a child all that time. The first years of his life he propably grew in the temple, and was introduced only in a later stage to his family. So the cradle being a metaphor, as for the people believed him to young to be a prophet. Ahmed Ali and other scholars have the same idea.
Quote
I have only created Jinns and men, THAT THEY MAY SERVE ME. -- 5156You have to see the context, as God says in the next verse, that He doesn't want anything, so i agree here with QXP
5156 And I have not created the nomads(people outside/not direct participation in/not seen society) or the urban(directly in society) but to consciously and
willingly live by My Laws. (?Ibadah?, usually translated, as worship is better
applicable in that sense to idol-worship. And since the Qur?an consistently
promotes action over ritual, ?Ibadah? of Allah is better understood as serving
Him by serving His creation. That is in conformity with my rendering,
?consciously and willingly live by --?).As also Muhammed Asad
And I have not created the invisible beings and men to any end other than that they may worship Me.
So you to approach in a logical way, and look for the deeper meaning, instead of staring at the surface..
Quote
Many are the Jinns and men WE HAVE MADE FOR HELL .... -- 7179Yes, if you understand that Hell, Gehenna is a metaphor for stagnatic thinking, for thinking that will burn away the truth, peace, progress and is by thus following mere illusions, as jahim=barrier, showing that gehenna is thinking that stops your growth of development to a higher understanding. And will create a life in the Afterlife that is compared with agony. And this is thus a stage in the creation that is neccesary people go through, as God says hell is not eternal.
7179 Our Law has committed to Hell numerous people, rural and urban; they are living a life of hell. They have hearts that they use not to understand. They have eyes with which they see not, and ears with which they hear not. They are like cattle. Nay, they are even worse. Such are the people who have chosen to live through life in total darkness of ignorance.
If you approach it like, which is also the only logical way, since gehenna is metaphorical, and the old concept of literally burning in hell comes from the Greeks and Egyptians, we have a pre-programmed idea of heaven and hell which is not found in the Quran, then suddenly you understand that it is a logical phase for most humans, to undergo too, i also have lived in hell of illusion before took me out of it, I believe most people on this site feel like this...But maintaned it will develop agony on agony, as you know the truth is out there but cannot grasp it, and thus burns your soul from the inside of your heart(sura104).
- Many of the jinns and human beings have We destined for Hell, who possess hearts but do not feel, have eyes but do not see, have ears but do not hear, like cattle, even worse than them. They are people unconcerned.
Like Ahmed Ali says beautifully in his translation
"Hell, The word Jahannam is of hebraic origin, consisting of Ji, valley, and Hannam, and meant the Valley of Hannam, south of Jerusalem, where in ancient times human sacrifices were made to Moluk, the deity of the Ammuniyin, and burnt, thus signifying the altar of humanity's sacrifice. in the Quran, heaven and hell are not eternal kingdoms as in the Bible, but contingent to and coterminous with the heavens and earth, as is evident from verses 106 to 108 of surah 11
And those who are doomed, will be in Hell For them will be sighing and sobbing,
Where they will dwell so long as heaven and earth endure, unless your Lord will otherwise. Verily your Lord does as He wills.
Those who are blessed will be in Paradise, where they will dwell so long as heaven and earth survive, unless your Lord wills otherwise This will be a gift uninterrupted.Paradise is a state of bliss, enjoyably worldy, so is Hell described as "the fire kindled by God which penetrates the hearts. it vaults them over in extending columns," in 1046-9. It is, thus, a sacred archetypal symbol, carrying both a moral and psycho-social meaning within its tautology and eschatological ultimacy. So is Yaum-al-Hasr, the day of Resurrection, the completion and consummation of life on earth. in the metonomy of the Quran resurrection signifies the rising of the dead so that each feel in person the effects of his good and evil deeds done on earth."
As also dr.Shabbir Achmed on his understanding
The Qur?an describes Hellfire and Paradise in metaphors and allegories that
lie within the physical means of our understanding. While the body dies, the
?Self? lives on and its destiny, whether Anguish or Bliss, is a logical
consequence and a built-in recompense of its doings.
A ?Self? that has actualized or primed itself by leading an upright life
respecting the Permanent Divine Values, and thus being a useful member of
society, belongs to Paradise. This process of self-actualization is facilitated by
a benevolent society. The development of a primed or actualized ?Self? goes
on in the Hereafter in Blissful Immortality.
On the other hand, a ?Self? that has stunted itself by succumbing to selfish
desire, fails to prime itself for further development. It merely survives in the
?Hell? of Anguish as opposed to
the Blissful Immortality of Paradise. (In this sense, stagnation is hell, and
progress is paradise).
So, we can understand the Qur?anic description of Hell and Paradise to some
but sufficient extent for our intellectual needs. To put it very briefly, here is my
humble understanding
640
PARADISE Men, women and children are brought into a new being in
exponentially higher physical and mental forms. Aging, pain, illness, death,
grief, fear, fatigue, negative emotions have no place in that Blissful Realm. It
is perpetual
Delight with ongoing growth of the personality.
The new human forms have intensely advanced capacities to do things they
want, even see a replay of their earthly lives and the entire world history.
They instantly get all they desire, and more! They get to meet with their
families and friends and any personalities that lived before or after them. They
are provided all they need and want without the least bit of toil.
HELLFIRE A life where the resurrected humans in the new higher physical
and mental forms have a life of Anguish. They are in a state of neither living
nor dying since their personalities make no progress. Yet, they see the Truth
more clearly. JAHIM (the Insurmountable Barrier) keeps them from
advancing. They are in a relentless state of Regret that they should have
done works to become worthy of Paradise.
The Qur'an categorically states, "The Hellfire originates in and engulfs the
hearts." In that Light, Allama Sir Muhammad Iqbal correctly notes
that 'people carry their own fuel to the Fire'. (Yes, you are right, dear Mehgan,
that Allah does not punish anyone. It is only the logical carry over
consequences - and Allah, in His Infinite Mercy, will not let anyone be
"punished" eternally).
Hence, the understanding we get of the life Hereafter, although described
metaphorically in the Qur'an and not exactly comparable to what we know in
this life, is sufficiently clear FOR OUR MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL NEEDS.
An important note must be made here that the Hell or Paradise of a person
begins right here in this life.
Furthermore, the Divine System (in Biblical terms, the Kingdom of God)
established in a society ensures the earthly paradise, whereas an individual
or a collective life that is lived contrary to Divine Laws only builds a hell in
this world as well. In that sense, tomorrow is the Hereafter of today.
The following verses are just a few among those that will support my humble
submission
2119, 311, 3132, 586, 836, 949, 1335, 18100, 2691, 2955, 3213-17,
3536, 3653-67, 3678-79, 4715, 5721, 7430, 7826.
641This is my best understanding for now...
Peace
