Confusion: Who Was The First Muslim ? by truthman2012(m): 5:01pm On Apr 17, 2016
Muslims, when confronted with the question on why the quran says Muhammad was the first muslim, they say he was the first muslim only among his own people. They have forgotten that they have also claimed Muhammad was a descendant of Ishmael, who was also said to be a muslim. How can his forefather Ishmael be a muslim and still claim Muhammad was the first muslim among his own people? So much confusion and deception in islam.

Let's continue in our studies and questions on islam about who the first muslim was:

The Qur’an states Muhammad was the first Muslim. (Surah 6:163). However, it also that Abraham who lived centuries before Muhammad was a Muslim. (Surah 3:67). And The Qur’an states that the disciples of Jesus who lived before Muhammad were also Muslims. (Surah 5: 111). In fact, the Qur’an claims that all prophets, from the time of Abraham to Muhammad were Muslims. (Surah 22:78)

The Questions

Since the Qur’an states that Muhammad was the first Muslim, while at the same time declaring that there were Muslims before the time of Muhammad, is this not a clear proof of the existence of a contradiction in the Qur’an?

How are you going to reconcile the Qur’an’s claim that Muhammad was the first Muslim with the Qur’an’s statement that Abraham who lived before him was also a Muslim?

How are you going to reconcile the Qur’an’s claim that Muhammad was the first Muslim with the Qur’an’s statement that the disciples of Jesus who lived before him were Muslims?

Do you not agree that if Abraham was truly a Muslim as the Qur’an claims, then Muhammad cannot be the first Muslim?

Do you not agree that if the disciples of Jesus were truly Muslims as the Qur’an claims, then Muhammad cannot be the first Muslim?

Do you not agree that one or the other verse in the Qur’an is a lie?

Does this not clearly prove that the Qur’an contains a false statement in it?

Will the true Word of God contain an error in it?

As such, can you really trust the Qur’an as the Word of God?

Who was the first Muslim? The Qur’an gives the following answers: Muhammad (Surah 6:14, Surah 6:163), Abraham (Surah 2:127-133, Surah 3:67) Moses (Surah 7:143), some unnamed Egyptians (Surah 26:51), Disciples of Jesus (Surah 5:111).

So Muslims, according to your Qur’an, who was the first Muslim?

This is another case of muslims' inability to clear the quran of errors. No abuse is even available.

Any reasonable person should be able to see that islam is a fraud. A fraud perpetrated by satan. It was satan that acted the role of Allah and Gabriel in the quran to deceive mankind.

Muslims, having seen that Islam is false and for which you have nothing to defend it, is it still reasonable for you to continue in it. Why would you choose to be deceived by an ordinary illiterate Arabian, who claimed to be a prophet? Why would you believe the quran that has been proven to be fraught with unintelligent errors?, Would God spew such errors from his holy mouth?

Repent and give your life to Jesus before it is too late. Don't remain deceived.

I would have thought Mohammed as he said he was given transcripts of the Quran by an Angel, so before he released the transcript he had to understand what he was transcribing first.

The sooner you get it into your head that the quoran is not from God but it's just a collection of sayings concocted by mohamed and attributed to God to deceive his followers into believing he is a prophet of God. A close and objective study of the quoran will tell you it's full of errors, contradictions, inconsistencies and outright lies with zero beneficial value to mankind. The quoran is all the evidence you need to know that both islam and mohamed are frauds.

So Muslims, according to your Qur’an, who was the first Muslim?[/b]

Hello, I am a Muslim.

Firstly, you need to understand what is meant by the word "Muslim" as used in the Qur'an..
In the Qur'an "Muslim" is often used as a title for "submitter", rather than what it has come to mean today e.g. "follower of the organised religion of Islam".

I'm not sure which Muslim has claimed that Ishmael was the first Muslim. The Qur'an alludes to Abraham as the first Muslim and calls upon mankind to follow the path of Abraham.

Quran 3:95
"Say:God has spoken the truth: follow, then, the creed of Abraham, who turned away from all that is false, and was not of those who ascribe divinity to aught beside God."


and

Qur'an 3:67

"Abraham in truth was not a Jew, neither yet a Christian; but he was a muslim and one pure of faith"

Hope that helped.

The Qur'an also claims Moses who led the Jews was a Muslim. Moses as a Jew, was he a muslim because he submitted to God? Are Jews muslims ?

The Quran also claims Jesus was a Muslim. Jesus was a Jew, are Jews muslims because he submitted to God?

The quran also claims Jesus Disciples were muslims. The disciples were called Christians and they built Churches in their lifetime. Were they muslims because they submitted to God? Do muslims build Churches?

Honest answers to those questions will show lack of integrity of the quran.

A muslim is anyone who submits to the One God, and believed in the monotheistic religion of their time. So at those times, those people were Muslims as they responded to the messenger of their time.

So yes, all those people you mentioned were muslims (the title, not the religion!)

Were Jesus Disciples monotheists ?

These same Disciples baptized their people in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Surely they were not monotheists. Then why did the quran call them muslims?

Let me remind you that the question is not "who is a Muslim but who is the first Muslim.

Qur'an say Abraham was the first Muslim.

The same Qur'an says Moses was the first muslim.

The quran again says Muhammad is the first Muslim.

Now, who is the first muslim ?

I hope you will not abandon your argument.

Ah. Yes. Reminder that the areas in the Qur'an which say that these people were the first Muslim are narratives of events that have happened. So, in context, when Mohammed said "I am the first of the muslims" the earlier verse begins with "Say (to the people he was addressing, The Qurayish, who were idolaters)"

"first muslim" is relative.

Abraham was the first submitter among his people.
Moses was the first submitter among his people.
Mohammed was the first submitter among his people.


Technically, the first muslim ever was the first human, Adam.

I like your name but you are ALMOST ignorant about islam and its promotion of extreme misogyny, especially in a conservative muslim nation like iran and saudi arabia. Woman in islam are treated as third class human beings.

Quran endorses the beating of women (quran 4:34).

allahh approve temporary marriage in islam, what is known as nikah mutua (quran 5:87, sahih bhukari 7:62:13). If you dont understand the relationship between the quranic verse i have you and the hadith i provided, read through the tafsir of ibn kathir for a clue. Nikah mutua is advanced prostitution ordained by allahh and was never abrogated.

allahh approved of raping captive women by muslim soldiers, mohammed inclusive (quran 4:24, sunan abu dawud 2150 ahmed hassan translation vol 2, page 577 and sahih muslim 3432). These women were raped by mohammed and his sahabas, even in the presence of their husbands. Deuteronomy 22:25 completely condemn this evil by mohammed.

Mohammed also approve child marriage in quran 65:4. Mohammed, led by example, by engaging aisha when she was 6 (mohammed was 51) and starting having sex with her when she became 9.

These are few example which prooved that mohammed and islam hate women and it is very shocking that a woman, worst victims of islam, will even have the gut to defense this criminal prophet that called himself mohammed.

Read up the islamic references I gave and come and testify the evils of mohammed (hiss be upon him).

And you think an evil character like mohammed is a perfect guy that you must follow his sunnah? Then you need a paradign shift my sister.

As for saudi arabia, it is an ideal islamic state because they follow the sunnah of the islamic prophet to the letter, or are you telling me that the sunnah of mohammed is a trash?

Your response hear is deceptive and you know it. You tried to cover-up for the inconsistencies in the quran. The quran calling mohammed, adam, moses, abraham 'first muslims' were never relative. The 'relative' coveat you attempt to introduce is your own way of helping allahh and his apostle. Can you please give preceeding verses that says the term 'first muslim' was used in a relative term? You might be a muslim but I might understand islamic theology than you do.

Still on the concept of the 'first muslim', you said the term was applicable to certain people in certain generations, if I get you right. But the quran consistently use the definite article 'the' which shows that we only have one 'first muslim', however that 'first muslim' was erroneously ascribed to different people (perparps the muslims think that we kafir will never read\understand the quran and\or the hadith).

Using your analogy, it can be deduced that we are not inherently born muslims, as muslim apologist always want us believe. And again, abraham parents were not muslims but abraham was the 'first muslim', moses' parents were not muslims but moses was also 'the first muslim'. Jesus' parents were not muslims because Jesus was also 'the first muslim'.

Can you see how silly islamic argument can be?

Are you saying that all the hadith and the quran I quran are garbage? So you no longer believe the trilogy of the quran, the hadith and the sirah?

Then you must also be 'the first muslim'.
