Are there contradictions in the Quran?
-
I have very recently started to learn more about my religion, reading the quran and articles etc. A couple of days ago i came across this website with an entire list of contradictions in the quran. I have no doubt in my mind that there is an explanation for this and that these people have either mistranslated, or misconstrued what has been written and therefore can easily make contradictions. I was hoping that someone would be able to tell me why the following contradiction is infact not a contradiction, i want to be able to refute every signle contradiction that these people have made. for anyone who is interested, the 2 websites are
http//www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/quran/contra/by_name.html
http//answering-islam.org/Quran/Contra/
The contradiction that i was speaking about above is about the number of days it took to create the heavens an earth. Is there anyone who can clarify why these verses do not contradict each other?
verses that say it took 6 days
754
Lo! your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days.103
Lo! your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days.117
And He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days.5038
We created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in six Days.574
He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days.verses that say it supposedly took 8 days
419-12
Say (O Muhammad, unto the idolaters) Disbelieve ye verily in Him Who created the earth in two Days ... He placed therein firm hills rising above it, and blessed it and measured therein its sustenance in four Days ... Then He ordained them seven heavens in two Days.... -
Peace,
I already wrote an article on this, it is on the forum. yaum doesn't mean specificaly day, but a period of time. It refers to stages, timeperiod,days and so on. Also it never says it takes exactly the same time periods for every stage, it just says that it took 6 timeperiods, not refering to that every period took the same amount of time.

There is no contradiction in this story, people create contradictions because they want to have them...So don't waist your time on them as they will never listen, they have blocked their mind and will always slander.

Peace aallya,
That's no contradiction. Pay attention the 'six days' 'sittatin ayyamin' verses refers to the creation of the universe, and the two days verses refers to the creation of the earth only, and the rest are not 'creation acts' because the word 'khalaq' 'create' is not used after the two days.
I've debated this point with the xtian Apple Pie last year, I think the debate is still on the forum, but in a nutshell, there are no six days/two days contradiction there. Hope that helps.

Your statement can very well reflect back at you, in certainty, if you ask me.

Yes, the 'alleged' contradictions you can slam dunk them, but the 'real ones' you can only bark at with woof woofs, blah blahs and tuty fruities. Not one refutation to the 'real' (not alleged) contradictions which I presented earlier have you managed to slam dunk, but simply twisted them around with looooong lengthy, deceitful and irrelevant issues; hopping and circling around for defence. bravo
Needless to say, the verses of the Quran were collected from parchments, some narrated, compiled and revamped togther by groups of fallible MEN (scribes - 8015), and not mythical angels with wings running around from town to town as 'safaras'. brickwall Because of such "patch-works" by MEN to form a book in three dialect versions (one of which became supreme over others after the original got destroyed), one can clearly see repetitions presented of identical scenarios/events that throttled inconsistencies and contradictions as shown afew. With all the ahadiths collected thus far, this particular one became the best hadith syncronized and remastered with chapters, numberings, grammatical inventions, sing-a-longs and finally fatwas and the so-called Muslims conveniently welcomed it as 'Allah's Words'. yay And since then they became deficient of understanding it as witnessed till today and continue to misunderstand, making a mockery out it and that of Allah. elektro

peace Danish, Ahmed
guys, instead of arguing, why don't we give this "contradictions discussion" another chance. Make another thread and deal with the alleged contradictions one by one. And even if that won't change any of your beliefs, it will clear up things for others. And keep the drama out.
