Emusan: When an evidence is being provided now you'll begin to sing another song. Imaging Christian website, so all what your OP say are they from Christian website or not JAMAL BADAWI an Islamic work? What does this has to do with issue at hand? I quote you purposely because of this particular statement, is like you want to know the truth which most biased Muslim scholars always hide from their readers. Firstly, the first thing to know is that Bible always gives the accurate and complete view within itself without throwing its reader into total darkness LIKE QUR'AN always does! Secondly, Bible itself answers your question which Muslim scholars have hidden from people like you BUT ONLY if you'll not reject it as they do. Lastly, I'll give detail of it begin from Jesus Himself. 1) Jesus Himself made the statement about Moses wrote prophecy about Him..."For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed ME: for he(Moses) wrote of ME." John 5:46 2) Philip is one of the disciples of Jesus Christ but before he became Jesus' disciple he said this to Nathanel ..."Philip findeth Nathaniel, and saith unto him, we have found him, of whom MOSES in the law, and the PROPHETS, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph." John 1:45 3) Peter is one of the companions of Jesus Christ and he's the one who even QUOTE THE SAME Deuteronomy verbatim...."For MOSES truly said unto the fathers, A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your BRETHREN, like unto me;...Acts 3:22-23 You can see that the answer have a strong Biblical support than the twisted one done by Muslim scholars in propagating their false religion. NOTE: The fulfilment of Deuteronomy wasn't a cook up by Christian theologians BUT a plain statement within the Bible itself. Do you know the TRUTH? Many references are online, but you're already discriminating by saying "Christian website" so if someone gave it, it will just be a waste of time.

THAT IS WHY I SAID THE BILE IS NO MORE HOLY EXCEPT SOME FEW PART OF IT BT U CHRISTIAN SAID JESUS IS SON OF GOD AND GOD THAT HE IS NOT A PROPHET SO HOW COME U CALL HIM A PROPHET NOW AND WHO TELL U WE DID NOT BELIEVE IN JESUS JESUS IS A PROPHET BUT U PEOPLE CAL HIM GOD JESUS IS NOT DEAD U SAID HE IS DEAD(watch out for my next topic)....... i even follow jesus more than u think jesus condemn payment of interesr when we try to establish islamic banking with interest free loan CAN OPPOSED IT reference l- Imran {3:130} “O ye who believed! Devour not usury, doubling and quadrupling (the sum lent). Observe your duty to Allah, that ye may be successful.” Another message is repeated in: Surah, Al-Baqara {2:188} “And eat not up your property among yourselves in vanity, nor seek by it to gain the hearing of the judges that ye may knowingly devour a portion of the property of others wrongfully.” What does the Christian book has to say concerning Interest and Bribery? Is it really there in the Bible? Yes! Why is C.A.N against it? I don’t know……….. Then, they are the Biggest Anti-Christ that I have ever seen………….. Exodus 23:8 "And thou shalt take no bribe: for a bribe blindeth them that have sight, and ruins the cause of those who are the righteous.” Warning against Bribery! What about Interest? Let’s examine this verse again: Exodus 22:25 “If thou lend money to any of my people with thee that is poor, thou shalt not be to him as a creditor; neither shall ye lay upon him interest.” Similar message is also repeated in the Book of Deuteronomy: Deuteronomy 23:19 "Thou shalt not lend upon interest to thy brother; interest of money, interest of victuals, interest of anything that is lent upon interest.” THE BIBLE SAID U SHOULD COVER UR HEAD U OPPOSE IT( 1 Corinthians 11:5, says that “Every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonours her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved) WHEN AREGBESHOLA RAISED THE ISSUE OF COVERING HEAD IN OSUN CAN OPPOSE IT WHAT AN ANTI CHRIST i know u will said it is only when they want topray pls dont children pray in school on assembly ground.....dont they pray before eating?......all christians nowadays are anti christ THE BIBLE SAID WOMEN SHOULD NOT TALK IN CHURCH U PEOPLE WENT TO ORGANISE CHOIR EVEN NOW WOMEN ARE NOW PASTORS( - I Corinthians 14:34-35: Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.) JESUS PRAY U NEVER DID THAT INSTEAD U CRITICISE MUSLIMS FOR BOWING THEIR HEAD( DISCRIPTION OF SOLAT IN THE BIBLE "Ezra the scribe stood on a high wooden platform(ready for solat) that had been made for the occasion. To his right stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah. To his left stood Pedaiah, Mishael, Malkijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam." (Nehemiah 8:4)."And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people (imam) and when he opened it, all the people stood up:" (Nehemiah 8:5)."Then Ezra praised the LORD(takbiratul iram), the great God, and all the people chanted, "Amen! Amen!" as they lifted their hands. Then they bowed down (rukuh) and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground(sujud)." (Nehemiah 8:6).......DID U DO THIS? WHAT AN ANTICHRIST.....EVEN THOUGH U PEOPLE TAMPER THE BIBLE THE TRUTH WILL SHOW IT SELF

CONCERNING YOUR QUESTION ABOUT ABDULLAH THE FATHER OF MUHAMMAD THIS ARTICLE WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND
It appears there is some confusion on this issue as Prophet
Muhammad’s father’s name (Abdullah) meant the “slave of
Allah” – questions have been asked as to why the name Allah
was known BEFORE Islam was revealed to the Prophet
Muhammad (p).
Typically, our Christian missionary friends have been spinning
this as to mean Allah was a pagan god as the pagan Arabs
knew of the word “Allah” before the coming of the Prophet and
Islam.
Highlighting ignorance…
This simply highlights the Christian missionary’s/critic’s
ignorance as the word Allah was initially used in a
monotheistic sense by Ishmael (son of Abraham) and those of
his followers. However, with time, these Arabs later slipped
into paganism which ultimately led to the Arabs of Mecca
leaving the pure belief of Allah being the ONLY God by making
Allah a high god of their pantheon of gods.
The Prophet Muhammad (p) brought the Arabs back onto the
worship of Allah alone with the introduction of Islam – the
same beliefs Ishmael (p) introduced to Arabia.
A brief history of Meccan-Arab religious practice
We know that the word “Allah” was in use before the time of
Prophet Muhammed (pbuh). If we read Ar-Raheeq ul-
Makhtum we realise that the early Arabs did believe in Allah as
the Only God. This is dated all the way back to the time of
Prophet Ishmael (p) who resided in Makkah (Mecca) and
learned Arabic as well as settling there [1]. He preached the
message of pure monotheism; “Most of the Arabs had
complied with the call of Ishmael and professed the religion of
his father Abraham. They worshipped Allah, professed His
Oneness and followed His religion...” [2].
This shows that Allah was known as the Only God, just like the
Muslims believe Him to be. Indeed Abraham and Ishmael
(pbut) are considered to be Muslims, i.e. those who had
submitted to the Will of the Only God, Allah.
How paganism was introduced after Ishmael and Abraham
(pbut)
The issue of paganism came into the equation as the Arabs
forgot this pure monotheism which was taught by Ishmael and
his followers. The idolatry was originated from the actions of a
man named Amr bin Luhai, he was known as a devoted and
righteous man, well respected by his peers. However, after a
trip away from Mecca he saw idol-worship in Syria.
Upon his return to the Meccans he introduced idol worship to
the Meccans by bringing an idol named Hubal back from Syria
and this resulted in the spread of a great many idols across
Mecca.
They now (wrongly) believed Allah to be the high god of many
Despite the Meccan pagans’ acceptance of idols they still
proclaimed belief in Allah in the sense that they saw Allah as
the High God but used the idols as ‘lesser deities’ whom they
believed “could intercede before Allah for the fulfilment of their
wishes” [4].
Quite simply they had a pantheon of ‘gods’ but believed that
Allah was the High God of their pantheon. [6]
The theory of Allah being considered as a High God is backed
by Ar-Raheequl-Maktoum, Karen Armstrong [6] and W. M.
Watt [7].
Effectively over the years they changed their belief in Allah,
from the belief that Allah was the Only God (the Abrahamic
teachings) to the belief that Allah was the High God of their
many deities (pagan/polytheistic teachings).
There were 360 different idols, belonging to the pagans of
Mecca, around the Ka’bah when Prophet Muhammed took
charge of Mecca. These idols were subsequently broken,
removed and burned under the authority of Prophet
Muhammed [3].
Prophet Muhammad’s father - Abdullah
Another source that attests to the fact that the pre-Islamic
Arabs used the name Allah and held a ‘belief’ in Him is the
genealogy of Prophet Muhammed, his father’s name was
actually Abdullah (meaning servant of Allah) [5]. Interestingly
enough, some of these pagan Arabs believed that Allah was
the same God that the Jews and Christians worshipped [6]
Prophet Muhammad reintroduces Abrahamic monotheism
In 610 CE, the Prophet Muhammad began to call the pagan
Arabs back to the pure monotheism which was taught by
Abraham and Ishmael centuries earlier. By 632 CE the Meccan
Arabs had given up their idols and returned back to pure
monotheism – believing in Allah as the only god.

malvisguy212: The commencement of the Divine
Inspiration to Allah's Apostle was in the
form of good righteous (true) dreams in
his sleep. He never had a dream but that
it came true like bright day light. He used to go in seclusion (the cave of) Hira where
he used to worship(Allah Alone) continuously for many (days) nights. He
used to take with him the journey food
for that (stay) and then come back to (his
wife) Khadija to take his food like-wise
again for another period to stay, till suddenly the Truth descended upon him
while he was in the cave of Hira. The angel came to him in it and asked him to
read. The Prophet replied, "I do not know
how to read." (The Prophet added), "The angel caught me (FORCEFULLY) AND
PRESSED ME SO HARD THAT I COULD NOT
BEAR IT ANY MORE . He then released me and again asked me to read, and I
replied, "I do not know how to read," WHEREUPON HE CAUGHT ME AGAIN AND
PRESSED ME THE SECOND TIME TILL I COULD
NOT BEAR IT ANYMORE. He then released me and asked me again to read, but
again I replied, "I do not know how to
read (or, what shall I read?)." THEREUPON GHHE CAUT ME FOR THE THIRD TIME AND
PRESSED ME and then released me and
said, "Read: In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists). Has
created man from a clot. Read and Your
Lord is Most Generous...up to..... ..that
which he knew not." (96.15). (Bukahri Volume 9, Book 87, Number 111) [b][/b]
I may not be able to continue with you
because you are drawing me back. I am
surprised you do not know some basic
things in islam hence your request for
evidence above. Now, let analyze the above hadith:
1. Muhammad was in the cave of Hira to
worship Allah alone before the Truth
descended upon him. It means he had
been worshiping Allah before islam. As
you know, Muhammad's father's name is Abduallah, meaning servant of Allah. It is
also a known fact that Mutalleb and
Abduallah, Muhammad's parents were
idol worshipers. What was their idol?
Allah as in Abduallah, servant of Allah.The
same Allah Muhammad went to worship at the cave of Hira before the Truth
descended upon him. What Truth? The
continued worship of Allah, which was
already in their family? This shows islam
is the continuation of worship of Allah,
the idol Muhammad's parents were worshiping.
2. When Gabriel approached Muhammad,
without saying anything first, he told
Muhammad to read. Read what? He had
not spoken anything to him and did not
come with anything written document. The next thing was pressed him thrice
almost to death point. To me that was
wickedness and violence. God's angels
don't behave that way.
3. The fact that Gabriel did not speak
anything or show any document before asking Muhammad to read means he lied.
So he started his revelation with lies. That
is the faulty foundation of islam on which
the truth cannot be built.

@ MALVISGUY U SAID THE ANGEL SAID READ IN THE NAME
OF YOUR LORD WITHOUT HOLDING ANY DOCUMENT AND
HE SAID I AM NOT LEARNED IT IS EVIDENT IN THE BIBLE
Muhammad (pbuh) is prophesised in the book of Isaiah:
It is mentioned in the book of Isaiah chapter 29 verse 12:
"And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying,
Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned."
When Archangel Gabrail commanded Muhammad (pbuh) by
saying Iqra - "Read", he replied, "I am not learned" .SO

Muhammad's first revelation
According to Islam , Muhammad's first revelation was the
event in which Muhammad was visited by the Arch-angel
Gabriel who revealed to him a verse from the Quran . The
event took place in a cave called Hira , located on the
mountain called Jabal an-Nour, near Mecca.
According to biographies of Muhammad, while on retreat in
a mountain cave (cave of Hira) near Mecca, the Arch-angel
Gabriel appears to him and commands him to recite the first
lines of chapter 96 of the Quran. Muhammad's experience is
mentioned in the Quran 53:4-9: [1]
Before the revelation
Muhammad was born and raised in Mecca. When He was
nearly 40, he used to spend many hours alone in prayer and
speculating over the aspects of creation. [2] He was
concerned with the social unrest , injustice, widespread
discrimination (particularly against women ), fighting among
tribes and abuse of tribal authorities prevalent in pre-
Islamic Arabia .[3] The moral degeneration of his fellow
people, and his own quest for a true religion further lent fuel
to this, with the result that he now began to withdraw
periodically to a cave named Mount Hira , three miles north
of Mecca, for contemplation and reflection. [4] Islamic
tradition holds that Muhammad during this period began to
have dreams replete with spiritual significance which were
fulfilled according to their true import; and this was the
commencement of his divine revelation.[5][2] This created
inclination in him to engage himself in solitary worshipping.
[6]
The first revelation
According to Islamic tradition, during one such occasion
while he was in contemplation, the archangel Gabriel
appeared before him in the year 610 CE and said, ‘Recite’,
upon which he replied, ‘I am unable to recite’. Thereupon the
angel caught hold of him and embraced him heavily. This
happened two more time after which the angel commanded
Muhammad to recite the following verses : [7][8][9]
After the revelation
Perplexed by this new experience, Muhammad made his
way to home where he was consoled by his wife Khadijah,
who also took him to her Ebionite cousin Waraqah ibn
Nawfal. Waraqah was familiar with Jewish and Christian
scriptures. Islamic tradition holds that Waraqah, upon
hearing the description, testified to Muhammad's
prophethood, [2][11] and convinced Muhammad that the
revelation was from God. [12] Waraqah said: "O my nephew!
What did you see?" When Muhammad told him what had
happened to him, Waraqah replied: "This is Namus
(meaning Gabriel) that Allah sent to Moses. I wish I were
younger. I wish I could live up to the time when your people
would turn you out." Muhammad asked: "Will they drive me
out?" Waraqah answered in the affirmative and said:
"Anyone who came with something similar to what you have
brought was treated with hostility; and if I should be alive
until that day, then I would support you strongly." A few
days later Waraqah died. [13]
The initial revelation was followed by a pause and a second
encounter with Gabriel when Muhammad heard a voice
from the sky and saw the same angel "sitting between the
sky and the earth" and the revelations resumed with the first
verses of chapter 74.
At-Tabari and Ibn Hisham reported that Muhammad left the
cave of Hira after being surprised by the revelation, but later
on, returned to the cave and continued his solitude, though
subsequently he returned to Mecca . Tabari and Ibn Ishaq
write that Muhammad told Zubayr:[13]
"when I was midway on the mountain, I heard a voice
from heaven saying "O Muhammad! you are the apostle
of Allah and I am Gabriel." I raised my head towards
heaven to see who was speaking, and Gabriel in the
form of a man with feet astride the horizon, saying, "O
Muhammad! you are the apostle of Allah and I am
Gabriel." I stood gazing at him moving neither forward
nor backward, then I began to turn my face away from
him, but towards whatever region of the sky I looked, I
saw him as before."
There is doubt about the period of time between
Muhammad's first and second experiences of revelation. Ibn
Ishaq writes that three years elapsed from the time that
Muhammad received the first revelation until he started to
preach publicly. Bukhari takes chapter 74 as the second
revelation however chapter 68 has strong claims to be the
second revelation.[14].......

JUST ACCEPT THE TRUTH

malvisguy212: so wikipedia is now your quran? You guys are Soooo confused.

WHEN I SAID BACA IS ANCIENT NAME OF MECCA I QUOTED BOTH THE QURAN AND BIBLE U GUYS NEVER BELIEVE I SAID THE ARABIAN ARE DESCENDANT OF ABRAHAM U NEVER BELIEVE SO THE ONLY WAY I CAN PROVE MYSELF RIGHT AND PROVE U GUYS WRONG IS TO QUOTE FROM ENCYCLOPEDIA WEBSITE WHICH THEIR INFORMATION IS BASED ON RESEARCH SO U CAN SEE NOW THAT U ARE THE ONE THAT IS CONFUSED AND NOT ME BECAUSE ISLAM HAVE BEEN PERFECTED BY GOD NOTHING TO BE CONFUSE ABOUT

eyeopener: Do you believe 'wikipedia' more than quran that says what muslims worship (allah) is not the God of the Jews and Christians, which is the true God? See surah 9:29 that says Christians are disbelievers in Allah. Then allah said what the disbelievers (Jews and Christians) worship is not what muslims worship (surah 109-1-6).

Then who is this allah?

open your eye this is what is in 9:29; 1:29 Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. (who are the people of scripture the people who the torah and the injill has been sent to them and the prophesy of muhammad was ascribed to them ut they rejet it) and 109:6
1:1 Say : O ye that reject Faith!1:2 I worship not that which ye worship,1:3 Nor will ye worship that which I worship.1:4 And I will not worship that which ye have been wont to worship,1:5 Nor will ye worship that which I worship.1:6 To you be your Way, and to me mine.
THIS VERSES WAS REVEALED WHEN THE IDOLATORS OF MEKAH CAME TO MUHAMMAD THAT HE SHOULD JOIN THEM SO THAT THEY WILL JOIN HIM ALSO IN ISLAM........THAT IS WHEN THIS VERSE WAS REVEALED INDEED ISLAM HAS BEEN PERFECTED BY GOD EVERY VERSE IN THE QURAN WAS REVEALED WITH A REASON

eyeopener: Muhammad is not and cannot be in the bible. The God of the bible is not muslims Allah. Therefore allah can not have his own prophet in the bible.

Jesus said he was the One spoken of by all the prophets in the Bible (Luke 24:27).

All the bible references you posted are talking about Jesus,not Muhammad. Stop trying to deceive.

U BETTER READ D VERSE U QUOTED WELL BEFORE CONCLUDING
EVEN IT IS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT THIS IS AFTER THE DEMISE IF JESUS OOO
1. John chapter 14 verse 16:
"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another
Comforter, that he may abide with you forever."
2. Gospel of John chapter 15 verse 26:
"But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you
from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which
proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me."
3. Gospel of John chapter 16 verse 7:
"Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I
go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not
come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you".
"Ahmed" or "Muhammad" meaning "the one who praises" or
"the praised one" is almost the translation of the
Greek word Periclytos. In the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26,
and
16:7. The word 'Comforter' is used in the English
translation for the Greek word Paracletos which means
advocate or a kind friend rather than a comforter.
Paracletos is the warped reading for Periclytos. Jesus (pbuh)
actually prophesised Ahmed by name. Even the
Greek word Paraclete refers to the Prophet (pbuh) who is a
mercy for all creatures.
Some Christians say that the Comforter mentioned in these
prophecies refers to the Holy Sprit. They fail to realise
that the prophecy clearly says that only if Jesus (pbuh)
departs will the Comforter come. The Bible states that the
Holy Spirit was already present on earth before and during
the
time of Jesus (pbuh), in the womb of Elizabeth, and again
when Jesus (pbuh) was being baptised, etc. Hence this
prophecy refers to none other than Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh).
4. Gospel of John chapter 16 verse 12-14:
"I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear
them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is
come, he will guide you unto all truth: for he shall not speak
of
himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:
and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me".
The Sprit of Truth, spoken about in this prophecy referes to
none
other than Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

mustang44: The pilgrimage mentioned in Psalm 84:5,6, is clearly to Jerusalem, as
evidenced by the rest of the psalm. Why
on earth would Jews, living in Israel
and on their way to Jerusalem, take a
huge detour through Mecca? The
only link between the Bacca mentioned in the bible and the Bakkah of
the Quran is a superficial similarity in
name, nothing more.

SO WIKIPEDIA WILL LIE SMH ...........WIKIPEDIA WILL HAVE SPECIFY IF IT IS JERUSALEM
JERUSALEM IS NO MORE AN HOLY LAND
JEREMIAH 13:27 "I God have seen your adultery and evil and
arrogance,WOE,unto you JERUSALEM never shall you be
holy again"
GALANTIANS 4:25 "Because Hangar is the Sinai mountain of
Arabia that stands for the (cursed) Jerusalem of today.

cloudstar: All this rubbish to prove that a 7th century illiterate is in the Bible. If you have some time, open the Bible and see what it says:

Deuteronomy 18:18-22

18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken?
22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

Let me give you several reasons why The God of the Bible doesn't choose men that sleep with 9 year old girls as his prophets:

1. When Muhammad began receiving revelations, his first impression of these revelations was that they were demonic - The prophets of God knows the voice of God and when He calls them. They can clearly distinguish between demons and the one true God
2. Muhammad was so traumatized by his encounter with "Gabriel" that he repeatedly tried to commit suicide by hurling himself off a cliff - The prophets of God are not suicidal, they don't try to kill themselves because God spoke to them.
3. According to Muslim sources, Muhammad once delivered a revelation from the devil (the "Satanic Verses" - The God of the Bible doesn't tell His prophets that it is okay to worship idols and worship Him as well. Christians don't engage in idolatry and Paganism, they believe in the one true God.
4. Muhammad claimed that he was a victim of a magic spell that gave him delusional thoughts and false beliefs - The true God prophets don't fall under magic spell or juju. We don't deal with juju in the Bible, neither does God prophets deal with juju or are influenced by juju.
5. Islam deifies Muhammad by requiring unconditional obedience to him and by requiring Muslims to talk to him during their daily prayers - Only God is to be adored, honored and worshiped. Muslims have given Mohammad the ascension of God and free of error when in truth he was a sinner
6. Mohammad said if a man sleeps with his wife and ejaculate.s 1st, the child will look like the man. If the woman ejaculate.s 1st, the child would look like the mother - Genetics and DNA are the reasons we resemble our parents and sexual pleasure has nothing to do with it.
7. The Qur'an affirms the inspiration, preservation, and authority of the Jewish and Christian scriptures (3:3-4; 5:43-47; 5:68; 6:114-115; 7:157; 10:94; 18:27; etc.). Yet our scriptures plainly declare that Muhammad is a false prophet and an antichrist. Problem?
8. In the Qur'an, Allah promises to kill Muhammad by severing his aorta if Muhammad invents a false revelation. When Muhammad died, he said he could feel his aorta being severed.
9. The central argument for the inspiration of the Qur'an is the "Argument from Literary Excellence," which is absurd on multiple levels.
10. The Qur'an claims that Alexander the Great and Aesop were devout Muslims - Una no sabi history. Alexander the great was a pagan
11. Muslims believe that the Qur'an is Allah's eternal Word. Yet Allah repeatedly changes his eternal mind about his eternal Word via abrogation
12. The Qur'an is missing at least two verses in which Allah commands grown women to breastfeed grown men in order to prevent sexual misconduct.
13. Muhammad had sex with a prepubescent nine-year-old girl named Aisha - How can Mohammad then be the one mentioned in Deuto 18:18. God prophets don't sleep with children
14. Muhammad married the divorced wife of his own adopted son (after Muhammad caused the divorce), and the Qur'an offers an absurd defense of Muhammad's actions.
15. When Muhammad's wives asked why he was giving special privileges to Aisha, he justified his actions by saying that he received revelations while wearing Aisha's dress! - God condemns men that wear women clothing and women that wear men clothing.

If you want more reasons why Mohammad is not mentioned or inferred in the Bible and why he is not a prophet to Christians or Jews; I will be happy to oblige your ignorance and stupidi.ty

cloudstar: All this rubbish to prove that a 7th century illiterate is in the Bible. If you have some time, open the Bible and see what it says:

Deuteronomy 18:18-22

18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken?
22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

Let me give you several reasons why The God of the Bible doesn't choose men that sleep with 9 year old girls as his prophets:

[color=#990000]1. When Muhammad began receiving revelations, his first impression of these revelations was that they were demonic - The prophets of God knows the voice of God and when He calls them. They can clearly distinguish between demons and the one true God
2. Muhammad was so traumatized by his encounter with "Gabriel" that he repeatedly tried to commit suicide by hurling himself off a cliff - The prophets of God are not suicidal, they don't try to kill themselves because God spoke to them.
3. According to Muslim sources, Muhammad once delivered a revelation from the devil (the "Satanic Verses" - The God of the Bible doesn't tell His prophets that it is okay to worship idols and worship Him as well. Christians don't engage in idolatry and Paganism, they believe in the one true God.

funshint: Instead of U̶̲̥̅̊ to concentrate on how we can live together in peace despite our differences, you are here wasting your time comparing the differences btw two books that have been in existence for many centuries. Just know dis; religion will take us no where because it is man's creation. It wasn't God's original plan for any man to bow down to him but man's disobedience brought him on his knees. Thesame Allah that created the Muslims also created the Christians. Why bother about anoda man's religion so far he doesn't stop U̶̲̥̅̊ from worshipping your God. Live and let others live..this world is too big to contain all of us without any problem. Who is mortal man to say he's fighting for God?! If God is aggrieved he'll fight for himself...i'm not here to castigate U̶̲̥̅̊. Preach your religion to others but don't force or condemn them because in so doing U̶̲̥̅̊ pass judgment upon yourself. Leave condemnation to God the ultimate judge of mankind!
N.B:- whatever religion U̶̲̥̅̊ find yourself practicing is accidental...U̶̲̥̅̊ can as well have been born in a christian home. Or did U̶̲̥̅̊ choose your religion from heaven b4 U̶̲̥̅̊ were born? Be careful of what U̶̲̥̅̊ say about others or their religion so as not to anger Allah; the creator of all mankind!

............nice one sir but the christians are not helping the matter they try to deface islam by saying what they dont have knowledge about......so with this we just came to the conclusion that they never check their book before ausing others

eyeopener: Have you not read that Muhammad is not from the descent of God's prophets? Why do you still believe him and his quran?

THIS IS AN EVIDENCE FROM AN ENCYCLOPEDIA WEBSITE THAT ARABIANS ARE DESCENDANT OF ISMAHEEL FIRST SON OF ABRAHAM(HAZRAT IBRAHIM www.en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishmael

PROPHET MUHAMMAD (pbuh) IN THE BIBLE
by Dr. Zakir Naik
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in the Old Testament:
The Qur’an mentions in Surah Al-Araf chapter 7 verse 157:
"Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet,
whom they
find mentioned in their own (scriptures) in the law and the
Gospel".
1. MUHAMMAD (PBUH) PROPHESISED IN THE BOOK OF
DEUTERONOMY:
Almighty God speaks to Moses in Book of Deuteronomy
chapter 18 verse 18:
"I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren,
like
unto thee, and I will put my words in his mouth; and he
shall speak unto them all that I shall command him."
The Christians say that this prophecy refers to Jesus (pbuh)
because Jesus (pbuh) was like Moses (pbuh). Moses (pbuh)
was a Jew, as well as Jesus (pbuh) was a Jew. Moses
(pbuh)
was a Prophet and Jesus (pbuh) was also a Prophet.
If these two are the only criteria for this prophecy to be
fulfilled, then all the Prophets of the Bible who came after
Moses (pbuh) such as Solomon, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel,
Hosea, Joel, Malachi, John the Baptist, etc. (pbut) will
fulfill this prophecy since all were Jews as well as prophets.
However, it is Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) who is like Moses
(pbuh):
i) Both had a father and a mother, while Jesus (pbuh) was
born miraculously without any male intervention.
[Mathew 1:18 and Luke 1:35 and also Al-Qur'an 3:42-47]
ii) Both were married and had children. Jesus (pbuh)
according to the Bible did not marry nor had children.
iii) Both died natural deaths. Jesus (pbuh) has been raised
up
alive. (4:157-158)
Muhammad (pbuh) is from among the brethren of Moses
(pbuh). Arabs are brethren of Jews. Abraham (pbuh) had two
sons: Ishmail and Isaac (pbut). The Arabs are the
descendants of Ishmail (pbuh) and the Jews are the
descendants of Isaac (pbuh).
Words in the mouth:
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was unlettered and whatever
revelations he received from Almighty God he repeated them
verbatim.
"I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren,
like
unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall
speak unto them all that I shall command him."
[Deuteronomy 18:18]
iv) Both besides being Prophets were also kings i.e. they
could
inflict capital punishment. Jesus (pbuh) said, "My
kingdom is not of this world." (John 18:36).
v) Both were accepted as Prophets by their people in their
lifetime but Jesus (pbuh) was rejected by his
people. John chapter 1 verse 11 states, "He came unto his
own, but his own received him not."
iv) Both brought new laws and new regulations for their
people. Jesus (pbuh) according to the Bible did not bring
any new laws. (Mathew 5:17-18) .
2. It is Mentioned in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 18:19
"And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not harken
unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will
require it of him."
3. Muhammad (pbuh) is prophesised in the book of Isaiah:
It is mentioned in the book of Isaiah chapter 29 verse 12:
"And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying,
Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned."
When Archangel Gabrail commanded Muhammad (pbuh) by
saying Iqra - "Read", he replied, "I am not learned" .
4. prophet Muhammad (pbuh) mentioned by name in the old
testament:
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is mentioned by name in the
Song
of Solomon chapter 5 verse 16:
" Hikko Mamittakim we kullo Muhammadim Zehdoodeh wa
Zehraee Bayna Jerusalem ."
"His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is
my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters
of Jerusalem."
In the Hebrew language im is added for respect. Similarely im
is added after the name of Prophet Muhammad
(pbuh) to make it Muhammadim. In English translation they
have even translated the name of Prophet Muhammad
(pbuh) as "altogether lovely", but in the Old Testament in
Hebrew, the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is yet
present.
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in the New Testament:
Al-Qur'an Chapter 61 Verse 6:
"And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said, 'O Children of
Israel! I
am the messenger of Allah (sent) to you, confirming the Law
(which
came) before me and giving glad tidings of a messenger to
come
after me, whose name shall be Ahmed.' But when he came to
them
with clear signs, they said, 'This is evident sorcery!' "
All the prophecies mentioned in the Old Testament regarding
Muhammad (pbuh) besides applying to the Jews also hold
good for
the Christians.
1. John chapter 14 verse 16:
"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another
Comforter, that he may abide with you forever."
2. Gospel of John chapter 15 verse 26:
"But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you
from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which
proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me."
3. Gospel of John chapter 16 verse 7:
"Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I
go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not
come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you".
"Ahmed" or "Muhammad" meaning "the one who praises" or
"the praised one" is almost the translation of the
Greek word Periclytos. In the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26,
and
16:7. The word 'Comforter' is used in the English
translation for the Greek word Paracletos which means
advocate or a kind friend rather than a comforter.
Paracletos is the warped reading for Periclytos. Jesus (pbuh)
actually prophesised Ahmed by name. Even the
Greek word Paraclete refers to the Prophet (pbuh) who is a
mercy for all creatures.
Some Christians say that the Comforter mentioned in these
prophecies refers to the Holy Sprit. They fail to realise
that the prophecy clearly says that only if Jesus (pbuh)
departs will the Comforter come. The Bible states that the
Holy Spirit was already present on earth before and during
the
time of Jesus (pbuh), in the womb of Elizabeth, and again
when Jesus (pbuh) was being baptised, etc. Hence this
prophecy refers to none other than Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh).
4. Gospel of John chapter 16 verse 12-14:
"I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear
them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is
come, he will guide you unto all truth: for he shall not speak
of
himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:
and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me".
The Sprit of Truth, spoken about in this prophecy referes to
none
other than Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

James

LOLZ

CONCLUSION
To attribute the presence of scientific facts in the Qur’aan to coincidence would be against common sense and a true scientific approach. The Qur’aan invites all humans to reflect on
the Creation of this universe in the verse: "Behold! In the creation Of the heavens and the earth, And the alternation Of Night and Day – There are indeed Signs For men of
understanding." [Al-Qur’aan 3:190]
The scientific evidences of the Qur’aan clearly prove its Divine Origin. No human could have produced a book, fourteen hundred years ago, that would contain profound scientific
facts, to be discovered by humankind centuries later. The Qur’aan, however, is not a book of Science but a book of ‘Signs’. These signs invite Man to realize the purpose of
his existence on earth, and to live in harmony with Nature. The Qur’aan is truly a message from Allah, the Creator and Sustainer of the universe. It contains the same message of
the Oneness of God, that was preached by all prophets, right from Adam, Moses, Jesus to Muhammad (peace be upon them).
Several detailed tomes have been written on the subject of Qur’aan and modern science and further research in this field is on. Inshallah, this research will help mankind to come
closer to the Word of the Almighty. This booklet contains only a few of the scientific facts present in the Qur’aan. I cannot claim to have done full justice to the subject. Prof. Tejasen
accepted Islam on the strength of just one scientific ‘sign’ mentioned in the Qu’ran. Some people may require ten signs while some may require hundred signs to be convinced
about the Divine Origin of the Qur’aan. Some would be unwilling to accept the Truth even after being shown a thousand signs. The Qur’aan condemns such a closed mentality in the
verse: "Deaf, dumb and blind, They will not return (To the path)." [Al-Qur’aan 2:18]
The Qur’aan contains a complete code of life for the individual and society. Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah), the Qur’aanic way of life is far superior to the ‘isms’ that modern man
has invented out of sheer ignorance. Who can give better guidance than the Creator Himself?
I pray that this humble effort is accepted by Allah, to whom I pray for mercy and guidance (Aameen)

XI. EMBRYOLOGY
MAN IS CREATED FROM ALAQ
A LEECH-LIKE SUBSTANCE
A few years ago a group of Arabs collected all information concerning embryology from the Qur’aan, and followed the instruction of the Qur’aan: "If ye realise this not, ask Of those
who possess the Message." [Al-Qur’aan 16:43 & 21:7]
All the information from the Qur’aan so gathered, was translated into English and presented to Prof. (Dr.) Keith Moore, who was the Professor of Embryology and Chairman of the
Department of Anatomy at the University of Toronto, in Canada. At present he is one of the highest authorities in the field of Embryology. He was asked to give his opinion regarding
the information present in the Qur’aan concerning the field of embryology. After carefully examining the translation of the Qur’aanic verses presented to him, Dr. Moore said that
most of the information concerning embryology mentioned in the Qur’aan is in perfect conformity with modern discoveries in the field of embryology and does not conflict with them
in any way. He added that there were however a few verses, on whose scientific accuracy he could not comment. He could not say whether the statements were true or false, since
he himself was not aware of the information contained therein.
There was also no mention of this information in modern writings and studies on embryology. One such verse is: "Proclaim! (or Read!) In the name Of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who
created – Created man, out of A (mere) clot Of congealed blood." [Al-Qur’aan 96:1-2]
The word alaq besides meaning a congealed clot of blood also means something that clings, a leech-like substance. Dr. Keith Moore had no knowledge whether an embryo in the
initial stages appears like a leech. To check this out he studied the initial stage of the embryo under a very powerful microscope in his laboratory and compared what he observed
with a diagram of a leech and he was astonished at the striking resemblance between the two!
In the same manner, he acquired more information on embryology that was hitherto not known to him, from the Qur’aan. Dr. Keith Moore answered about eighty questions dealing
with embryological data mentioned in the Qur’aan and Hadith. Noting that the information contained in the Qur’aan and Hadith was in full agreement with the latest discoveries in
the field of embryology, Prof. Moore said, "If I was asked these questions thirty years ago, I would not have been able to answer half of them for lack of scientific information"
Dr. Keith Moore had earlier authored the book, ‘The Developing Human’. After acquiring new knowledge from the Qur’aan, he wrote, in 1982, the 3rd edition of the same book, ‘The
Developing Human’. The book was the recipient of an award for the best medical book written by a single author. This book has been translated into several major languages of the
world and is used as a textbook of embryology in the first year of medical studies.
In 1981, during the Seventh Medical Conference in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, Dr. Moore said, "It has been a great pleasure for me to help clarify statements in the Qur’aan about
human development. It is clear to me that these statements must have come to Muhammad from God or Allah, because almost all of this knowledge was not discovered until many
centuries later. This proves to me that Muhammad must have been a messenger of God or Allah." [The reference for this statement is the video tape titled ‘This is the Truth’. For a
copy of this video tape contact the Islamic Research Foundation]
]Dr. Joe Leigh Simpson, Chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, at the Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, U.S.A., proclaims: "...these Hadiths, sayings of
Muhammad peace be upon him could not have been obtained on the basis of the scientific knowledge that was available at the time of the writer (7 th century). It follows that not
only is there no conflict between genetics and religion (Islam) but in fact religion (Islam) may guide science by adding revelation to some of the traditional scientific approaches…
there exist statements in the Qur’aan shown centuries later to be valid which support knowledge in the Qur’aan having been derived from God."
MAN CREATED FROM A DROP EMITTED FROM BETWEEN THE BACK BONE AND THE RIBS
"Now let man but think From what he is created! He is created from A drop emitted – Proceeding from between The back bone and the ribs." [Al-Qur’aan 86:5-7]
In embryonic stages, the reproductive organs of the male and female, i.e. the testicles and the ovaries, begin their development near the kidney between the spinal column and the
eleventh and twelfth ribs. Later they descend; the female gonads (ovaries) stop in the pelvis while the male gonads (testicles) continue their descent before birth to reach the
scrotum through the inguinal canal. Even in the adult after the descent of the reproductive organ, these organs receive their nerve supply and blood supply from the Abdominal
Aorta, which is in the area between the backbone (spinal column) and the ribs. Even the lymphatic drainage and the venous return goes to the same area.
HUMAN BEINGS CREATED FROM NUTFAH
(Minute Quantity of Liquid)
The Glorious Qur’aan mentions no less than eleven times that the human being is created from nutfah, which means a minute quantity of liquid or a trickle of liquid which remains
after emptying a cup. This is mentioned in several verses of the Qur’aan including 22:5 and 23:13. [The same is also mentioned in the Qur’an in 16:4, 18:37, 35:11, 36:77,
40:67, 53:46, 75:37, 76:2 and 80:19]
Science has confirmed in recent times that only one out of an average of three million sperms is required for fertilising the ovum. This means that only a 1/three millionth part or
0.00003% of the quantity of sperms that are emitted is required for fertilisation.
HUMAN BEINGS CREATED FROM SULALAH
(Quintessence of liquid)
"And made his progeny From a quintessence Of the nature of A fluid despised." [Al-Qur’aan 32:8]
The Arabic word sulâlah means quintessence or the best part of a whole. We have come to know now that only one single spermatozoon that penetrates the ovum is required for
fertilization, out of the several millions produced by man. That one spermatozoon out of several millions, is referred to in the Qur’aan as sulâlah . Sulâlah also means gentle
extraction from a fluid. The fluid refers to both male and female germinal fluids containing gametes. Both ovum and sperm are gently extracted from their environments in the
process of fertilization.
MAN CREATED FROM NUTFATUN AMSHAAJ
(Mingled liquids)
Consider the following Qur’aanic verse: "Verily We created Man from a drop Of mingled sperm." [Al-Qur’aan 76:2]
The Arabic word nutfatin amshaajin means mingled liquids. According to some commentators of the Qur’aan, mingled liquids refers to the male or female agents or liquids. After
mixture of male and female gamete, the zygote still remains nutfah . Mingled liquids can also refer to spermatic fluid that is formed of various secretions that come from various
glands. Therefore nutfatin amsaj , i.e. a minute quantity of mingled fluids refers to the male and female gametes (germinal fluids or cells) and part of the surrounding fluids.
SEX DETERMINATION
The sex of a fetus is determined by the nature of the sperm and not the ovum. The sex of the child, whether female or male, depends on whether the 23rd pair of chromosomes is XX
or XY respectively. Primarily sex determination occurs at fertilization and depends upon the type of sex chromosome in the sperm that fertilizes an ovum. If it is an ‘X’
bearing sperm that fertilizes the ovum, the fetus is a female and if it is a ‘Y’ bearing sperm then the fetus is a male. "That He did create In pairs – male and female, From a seed
when lodged (In its place)." [Al-Qur’aan 53:45-46]
The Arabic word nutfah means a minute quantity of liquid and tumnâ means ejaculated or planted. Therefore nutfah specifically refers to sperm because it is ejaculated. The
Qur’aan says: "Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (In lowly form)? "Then did he become A clinging clot; Then did (Allah) make And fashion (him) In due proportion. "And of him
He made Two sexes, male And female." [Al-Qur’aan 75:37-39]
Here again it is mentioned that a small quantity (drop) of sperm (indicated by the word nutfatan min maniyyin) which comes from the man is responsible for the sex of the fetus.
Mothers-in-law in the Indian subcontinent, by and large prefer having male grandchildren and often blame their daughters-in-law if the child is not of the desired sex. If only they
knew that the determining factor is the nature of the male sperm and not the female ovum! If they were to blame anybody, they should blame their sons and not their daughters-in-
law since both the Qur’aan and Science hold that it is the male fluid that is responsible for the sex of the child!
FOETUS PROTECTED BY THREE VEILS OF DARKNESS
"He makes you, In the wombs of your mothers, In stages, one after another, In three veils of darkness." [Al-Qur’aan 39:6]
According to Prof. Keith Moore these three veils of darkness in the Qur’aan refer to:
(i) anterior abdominal wall of the mother
(ii) the uterine wall
(iii) the amnio-chorionic membrane.
EMBRYONIC STAGES
"Man We did create From a quintessence (of clay); Then We placed him As (a drop of) sperm In a place of rest, firmly fixed; 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!" [Al-Qur’aan 23:12-14]
In this verse Allah states that man is created from a small quantity of liquid which is placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed (well established or lodged) for which the Arabic word
qarârin makîn is used.
The uterus is well protected from the posterior by the spinal column supported firmly by the back muscles. The embryo is further protected by the amniotic sac containing the
amniotic fluid. Thus the foetus has a well protected dwelling place. This small quantity of fluid is made into alaqah, meaning something which clings. It also means a leech-like
substance. Both descriptions are scientifically acceptable as in the very early stages the foetus clings to the wall and also appears to resemble the leech in shape. It also behaves
like a leech (blood sucker) and acquires its blood supply from the mother through the placenta. The third meaning of the word alaqah is a blood clot. During this alaqah stage,
which spans the third and fourth week of pregnancy, the blood clots within closed vessels. Hence the embryo acquires the appearance of a blood clot in addition to acquiring the
appearance of a leech. In 1677, Hamm and Leeuwenhoek were the first scientists to observe human sperm cells (spermatozoa) using a microscope. They thought that a sperm cell
contained a miniature human being which grew in the uterus to form a newborn. This was known as the perforation theory. When scientists discovered that the ovum was bigger
than the sperm, it was thought by De Graf and others that the foetus existed in a miniature form in the ovum. Later, in the 18th century Maupertuis propagated the theory
of biparental inheritance. The alaqah is transformed into mudghah which means ‘something that is chewed (having teeth marks)’ and also something that is tacky and small which
can be put in the mouth like gum. Both these explanations are scientifically correct. Prof. Keith Moore took a piece of plaster seal and made it into the size and shape of the early
stage of foetus and chewed it between the teeth to make it into a ‘ Mudgha ’. He compared this with the photographs of the early stage of foetus. The teeth marks resembled the
‘somites’ which is the early formation of the spinal column.
This mudghah is transformed into bones ( izâm). The bones are clothed with intact flesh or muscles ( lahm). Then Allah makes it into another creature.
Prof. Marshall Johnson is one of the leading scientists in US, and is the head of the Department of Anatomy and Director of the Daniel Institute at the Thomas Jefferson University in
Philadelphia in US. He was asked to comment on the verses of the Qur’aan dealing with embryology. He said that the verses of the Qur’aan describing the embryological stages
cannot be a coincidence. He said it was probable that Muhammad (pbuh) had a powerful microscope. On being reminded that the Qur’aan was revealed 1400 years ago, and
microscopes were invented centuries after the time of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), Prof. Johnson laughed and admitted that the first microscope invented could not magnify more
than 10 times and could not show a clear picture. Later he said: "I see nothing here in conflict with the concept that Divine intervention was involved when Muhammad (pbuh)
recited the Qur’aan."
According to Dr. Keith Moore, the modern classification of embryonic development stages which is adopted throughout the world, is not easily comprehensible, since it identifies
stages on a numerical basis i.e. stage I, stage II, etc. The divisions revealed in the Qur’aan are based on distinct and easily identifiable forms or shapes, which the embryo passes
through. These are based on different phases of prenatal development and provide elegant scientific descriptions that are comprehensible and practical.
Similar embryological stages of human development have been described in the following verses: "Was he not a drop Of sperm emitted (In lowly form)? Then did he become a
clinging clot; Then did (Allah) make and fashion (him) In due proportion. And of him He made Two sexes, male and female." [Al-Qur’aan 75:37-39]
"Him Who created thee, fashioned thee in due proportion, And gave thee a just bias; In whatever Form He wills, Does He put thee together." [Al-Qur’aan 82:7-8]
EMBRYO PARTLY FORMED AND PARTLY UNFORMED
At the mugdhah stage, if an incision is made in the embryo and the internal organ is dissected, it will be seen that most of them are formed while the others are not yet completely
formed. According to Prof. Johnson, if we describe the embryo as a complete creation, then we are only describing that part which is already created. If we describe it as an
incomplete creation, then we are only describing that part which is not yet created. So, is it a complete creation or an incomplete creation? There is no better description of this
stage of embryogenesis than the Qur’aanic description, "partly formed and partly unformed", as in the following verse: "We created you Out of dust, then out of Sperm, then out of
a leech-like Clot, then out of a morsel Of flesh, partly formed And partly unformed." [Al-Qur’aan 22:5]
Scientifically we know that at this early stage of development there are some cells which are differentiated and there are some cells that are undifferentiated – some organs are
formed and yet others unformed.
SENSE OF HEARING AND SIGHT
The first sense to develop in a developing human embryo is hearing. The foetus can hear sounds after the 24th week. Subsequently, the sense of sight is developed and by the 28th
week, the retina becomes sensitive to light. Consider the following Qur’aanic verses related to the development of the senses in the embryo: "And He gave You (the faculties of)
hearing and sight and feeling (And understanding)." [Al-Qur’aan 32:9]
"Verily We created Man from a drop Of mingled sperm, In order to try him: So We gave him (the gifts), Of Hearing and Sight." [Al-Qur’aan 76:2]
"It is He Who has created For you (the faculties of) Hearing, sight, feeling And understanding: little thanks It is ye give!" [Al-Qur’aan 23:78]
In all these verses the sense of hearing is mentioned before that of sight. Thus the Qur’aanic description matches with the discoveries in modern embryology.
XII. GENERAL SCIENCE
FINGERPRINTS
"Does man think that We Cannot assemble his bones? Nay, We are able to put Together in perfect order The very tips of his fingers." [Al-Qur’aan 75:3-4]
Unbelievers argue regarding resurrection taking place after bones of dead people have disintegrated in the earth and how each individual would be identified on the Day of
Judgement. Almighty Allah answers that He can not only assemble our bones but can also reconstruct perfectly our very fingertips.
Why does the Qur’aan, while speaking about determination of the identity of the individual, speak specifically about fingertips? In 1880, fingerprinting became the scientific method
of identification, after research done by Sir Francis Golt. No two persons in the world can ever have exactly the same fingerprint pattern. That is the reason why police forces
worldwide use fingerprints to identify the criminal. 1400 years ago, who could have known the uniqueness of each human’s fingerprint? Surely it could have been none other than
the Creator Himself!
PAIN RECEPTORS PRESENT IN THE SKIN
It was thought that the sense of feeling and pain was only dependent on the brain. Recent discoveries prove that there are pain receptors present in the skin without which a person
would not be able to feel pain. When a doctor examines a patient suffering from burn injuries, he verifies the degree of burns by a pinprick. If the patient feels pain, the doctor is
happy, because it indicates that the burns are superficial and the pain receptors are intact. On the other hand if the patient does not feel any pain, it indicates that it is a deep burn
and the pain receptors have been destroyed. The Qur’aan gives an indication of the existence of pain receptors in the following verse: "Those who reject Our signs, We shall soon
Cast into the Fire; As often as their skins Are roasted through, We shall change them For fresh skins, That they may taste The Penalty: for Allah Is Exalted in Power, Wise." [Al-
Qur’aan 4:56]
Prof. Tagatat Tejasen, Chairman of the Department of Anatomy at Chiang Mai University in Thailand, has spent a great amount of time on research of pain receptors. Initially he
could not believe that the Qur’aan mentioned this scientific fact 1,400 years ago. He later verified the translation of this particular Qur’aanic verse. Prof. Tejasen was so impressed
by the scientific accuracy of the Qur’aanic verse, that at the 8th Saudi Medical Conference held in Riyadh on the Scientific Signs of Qur’aan and Sunnah he proclaimed in public:
"There is no God but Allah and Muhammad (pbuh) is His Messenger."

VII. BOTANY
PLANTS CREATED IN PAIRS, MALE AND FEMALE
Previously humans did not know that plants too have male and female gender distinctions. Botany states that every plant has a male and female gender. Even the plants that are
unisexual have distinct elements of both male and female. "‘And has sent Down water from the sky.’ With it have We produced Diverse pairs of plants Each separate from the
others." [Al-Qur’aan 20:53]
FRUITS CREATED IN PAIRS, MALE AND FEMALE
"And fruit Of every kind He made In pairs, two and two." [Al-Qur’aan 13:3]
Fruit is the end product of reproduction of the superior plants. The stage preceding fruit is the flower, which has male and female organs (stamens and ovules). Once pollen has
been carried to the flower, they bear fruit, which in turn matures and frees its seed. All fruits therefore imply the existence of male and female organs; a fact that is mentioned in
the Qur’aan.
In certain species, fruit can come from non-fertilized flowers (parthenocarpic fruit) e.g. bananas, certain types of pineapple, fig, orange, vine, etc. They also have definite
sexual characteristics.
EVERYTHING MADE IN PAIRS
"And of everything We have created pairs." [Al-Qur’aan 51:49]
This refers to things other than humans, animals, plants and fruits. It may also be referring to a phenomenon like electricity in which the atoms consist of negatively – and
positively – charged electrons and protons.
"Glory to Allah, Who created In pairs all things that The earth produces, as well as Their own (human) kind And (other) things of which They have no knowledge." [Al-
Qur’aan 36:36]
The Qur’aan here says that everything is created in pairs, including things that the humans do not know at present and may discover later.
VIII. ZOOLOGY
ANIMALS AND BIRDS LIVE IN COMMUNITIES
"There is not an animal (That lives) on the earth, Nor a being that flies On its wings, but (forms Part of) communities like you." [Al-Qur’aan 6:38]
Research has shown that animals and birds live in communities, i.e. they organize, and live and work together.
THE FLIGHT OF BIRDS
Regarding the flight of birds the Qur’aan says: "Do they not look at The birds, held poised In the midst of (the air And) the sky? Nothing Holds them up but (the power Of) Allah.
Verily in this Are Signs for those who believe." [Al-Qur’aan 16:79]
A similar message is repeated in the Qur’aan in the verse: "Do they not observe The birds above them, Spreading their wings And folding them in? None can uphold them Except
(Allah) Most Gracious: Truly it is He That watches over all things." [Al-Qur’aan 67:19]
The Arabic word amsaka literally means, ‘to put one’s hand on, seize, hold, hold someone back,’ which expresses the idea that Allah holds the bird up in His power. These verses
stress the extremely close dependence of the birds’ behaviour on Divine order. Modern scientific data has shown the degree of perfection attained by certain species of birds
with regard to the programming of their movements. It is only the existence of a migratory programme in the genetic code of the birds that can explain the long and complicated
journey that very young birds, without any prior experience and without any guide, are able to accomplish. They are also able to return to the departure point on a definite date.
Prof. Hamburger in his book ‘Power and Fragility’ gives the example of ‘mutton-bird’ that lives in the Pacific with its journey of over 15,000 miles in the shape of figure ‘8’. It makes
this journey over a period of 6 months and comes back to its departure point wit a maximum delay of one week. The highly complicated instructions for such a journey have to be
contained in the birds’ nervous cells. They are definitely programmed. Should we not reflect on the identity of this ‘Programmer’?
THE BEE
"And thy Lord taught the Bee To build its cells in hills, On trees, and in (men’s) habitations; Then to eat of all The produce (of the earth), And find with skill the spacious
Paths of its Lord." [Al-Qur’aan 16:68-69]
Von-Frisch received the Nobel Prize in 1973 for his research on the behaviour and communication of the bees. The bee, after discovering any new garden or flower, goes back and
tells its fellow bees the exact direction and map to get there, which is known as ‘bee dance’. The meanings of this insect’s movements that are intended to transmit information
between worker bees have been discovered scientifically using photography and other methods. The Qur’aan mentions in the above verse how the bee finds with skill the spacious
paths of its Lord.
The worker bee or the soldier bee is a female bee. In Soorah Al-Nahl chapter no. 16, verses 68 and 69 the gender used for the bee is the female gender ( fa’slukî and kulî), indicating
that the bee that leaves its home for gathering food is a female bee. In other words the soldier or worker bee is a female bee. In fact, in Shakespeare’s play, "Henry the Fourth",
some of the characters speak about bees and mention that the bees are soldiers and that they have a king. That is what people thought in Shakespearean times. They thought that
the worker bees are male bees and they go home and are answerable to a king bee. This, however, is not true. The worker bees are females and they do not report to a king bee but
to a queen bee. But it took modern investigations in the last 300 years to discover this.
SPIDER’S WEB / HOME IS FRAGILE
The Qur’aan mentions in Soorah Al-‘Ankabût, "The parable of those who Take protectors other than Allah Is that of the Spider, Who builds (to itself) A house; but truly The
flimsiest of houses Is the Spider’s house – If they but knew." [Al-Qur’aan 29:41]
Besides giving the physical description of the spider’s web as being very flimsy, delicate and weak, the Qur’aan also stresses on the flimsiness of the relationship in the spider’s
house, where the female spider many a times kills its mate, the male spider.
LIFESTYLE AND COMMUNICATION OF ANTS
Consider the following Qur’aanic verse: "And before Solomon were marshaled His hosts – of Jinns and men And birds, and they were all Kept in order and ranks. "At length, when
they came To a (lowly) valley of ants, One of the ants said: ‘O ye ants, get into Your habitations, lest Solomon And his hosts crush you (Under foot) without knowing it.’" [Al-
Qur’aan 27:17-18]
In the past, some people would have probably mocked at the Qur’aan, taking it to be a fairy tale book in which ants talk to each other and communicate sophisticated messages. In
recent times, research has shown us several facts about the lifestyle of ants, which were not known earlier to humankind. Research has shown that the animals or insects
whose lifestyle is closest in resemblance to the lifestyle of human beings are the ants. This can be seen from the following findings regarding ants:
(a) The ants bury their dead in a manner similar to the humans.
(b) They have a sophisticated system of division of labour, whereby they have managers, supervisors, foremen, workers, etc.
(c) Once in a while they meet among themselves to have a ‘chat’.
(d) They have an advanced method of communication among themselves.
(e) They hold regular markets wherein they exchange goods.
(f) They store grains for long periods in winter and if the grain begins to bud, they cut the roots, as if they understand that if they leave it to grow, it will rot. If the grains stored by
them get wet due to rains, they take these grains out into the sunlight to dry, and once these are dry, they take them back inside as though they know that humidity will cause
development of root systems and thereafter rotting of the grain.
IX. MEDICINE
HONEY HAS HEALING PROPERTIES
The bee assimilates juices of various kinds of flowers and fruit and forms within its body the honey, which it stores in its cells of wax. Only a couple of centuries ago man came to
know that honey comes from the belly of the bee. This fact was mentioned in the Qur’aan 1,400 years ago in the following verse: "There issues From within their bodies A drink of
varying colours, Wherein is healing for men." [Al-Qur’aan 16:69]
We are now aware that honey has a healing property and also a mild antiseptic property. The Russians used honey to cover their wounds in World War II. The wound would retain
moisture and would leave very little scar tissue. Due to the density of honey, no fungus or bacteria would grow in the wound. A person suffering from an allergy of a particular plant
may be given honey from that plant so that the person develops resistance to that allergy. Honey is rich in fructose and vitamin K. Thus the knowledge contained in the
Qur’aan regarding honey, its origin and properties, was far ahead of the time it was revealed
X. PHYSIOLOGY
BLOOD CIRCULATION AND THE PRODUCTION OF MILK
The Qur’aan was revealed 600 years before the Muslim scientist Ibn Nafees described the circulation of the blood and 1,000 years before William Harwey brought this
understanding to the Western world. Roughly thirteen centuries before it was known what happens in the intestines to ensure that organs are nourished by the process of digestive
absorption, a verse in the Qur’aan described the source of the constituents of milk, in conformity with these notions.
To understand the Qur’aanic verse concerning the above concepts, it is important to know that chemical reactions occur in the intestines and that, from there, substances extracted
from food pass into the blood stream via a complex system; sometimes by way of the liver, depending on their chemical nature. The blood transports them to all the organs of the
body, among which are the milk-producing mammary glands.
In simple terms, certain substances from the contents of the intestines enter into the vessels of the intestinal wall itself, and these substances are transported by the blood stream to
the various organs.
This concept must be fully appreciated if we wish to understand the following verse in the Qur’aan: "And verily in cattle there is A lesson for you. We give you to drink Of what is
inside their bodies, Coming from a conjunction Between the contents of the Intestine and the blood, A milk pure and pleasant for Those who drink it." [Al-Qur’aan 16:66]
[Translation of this Qur’anic verse is from the book "The Bible, the Qur’an and Science" by Dr. Maurice Bucaille]
"And in cattle (too) ye Have an instructive example: From within their bodies We produce (milk) for you To drink; there are, in them, (Besides), numerous (other) Benefits for
you; And of their (meat) ye eat." [Al-Qur’aan 23:21]
The Qur’aanic description of the production of milk in cattle is strikingly similar to what modern physiology has discovered.

III. GEOGRAPHY
THE WATER CYCLE
In 1580, Bernard Palissy was the first man to describe the present day concept of ‘water cycle’. He described how water evaporates from the oceans and cools to form clouds. The
clouds move inland where they rise, condense and fall as rain. This water gathers as lakes and streams and flows back to the ocean in a continuous cycle. In the 7th century
B.C., Thales of Miletus believed that surface spray of the oceans was picked up by the wind and carried inland to fall as rain. In earlier times people did not know the source of
underground water. They thought the water of the oceans, under the effect of winds, was thrust towards the interior of the continents. They also believed that the water returned by a
secret passage, or the Great Abyss. This passage is connected to the oceans and has been called the ‘Tartarus’, since Plato’s time. Even Descartes, a great thinker of the eighteenth
century, subscribed to this view. Till the nineteenth century, Aristotle’s theory was prevalent. According to this theory, water was condensed in cool mountain caverns and formed
underground lakes that fed springs. Today, we know that the rainwater that seeps into the cracks of the ground is responsible for this.
The water cycle is described by the Qur’aan in the following verses: "Seest thou not that Allah Sends down rain from The sky, and leads it Through springs in the earth? Then He
causes to grow, Therewith, produce of various Colours." [Al-Qur’aan 39:21]
"He sends down rain From the sky And with it gives life to The earth after it is dead: Verily in that are Signs For those who are wise." [Al-Qur’aan 30:24]
"And We send down water From the sky according to (Due) measure, and We cause it To soak in the soil; And We certainly are able To drain it off (with ease)." [Al-
Qur’aan 23:18]
No other text dating back 1400 years ago gives such an accurate description of the water cycle.
WINDS IMPREGNATE THE CLOUDS
"And We send the fecundating winds, Then cause the rain to descend From the sky, therewith providing You with water (in abundance)." [Al-Qur’aan 15:22]
The Arabic word used here is lawâqih, which is the plural of laqih from laqaha, which means to impregnate or fecundate. In this context, impregnate means that the wind pushes the
clouds together increasing the condensation that causes lightning and thus rain. A similar description is found in the Qur’aan: "It is Allah Who sends The Winds, and they raise The
Clouds: then does He Spread them in the sky As He wills, and break them Into fragments, until thou seest Raindrops issue from the midst Thereof: then when He has Made them
reach such Of His servants as He wills, Behold, they do rejoice!" [Al-Qur’aan 30:48]
The Qur’aanic descriptions are absolutely accurate and agree perfectly with modern data on hydrology. The water cycle is described in several verses of the Glorious Qur’aan,
including 3:9, 7:57, 13:17, 25:48- 49, 36:34, 50:9-11, 56:68-70, 67:30 and 86:11.
IV. GEOLOGY
MOUNTAINS ARE LIKE PEGS (STAKES)
In Geology, the phenomenon of ‘folding’ is a recently discovered fact. Folding is responsible for the formation of mountain ranges. The earth’s crust, on which we live, is like a solid
shell, while the deeper layers are hot and fluid, and thus inhospitable to any form of life. It is also known that the stability of the mountains is linked to the phenomenon of folding,
for it was the folds that were to provide foundations for the reliefs that constitute the mountains. Geologists tell us that the radius of the Earth is about 3,750 miles and the crust
on which we live is very thin, ranging between 1 to 30 miles. Since the crust is thin, it has a high possibility of shaking. Mountains act like stakes or tent pegs that hold the earth’s
crust and give it stability. The Qur’aan contains exactly such a description in the following verse: "Have We not made The earth as a wide Expanse, And the mountains as
pegs?" [Al-Qur’aan 78:6-7]
The word awtad means stakes or pegs (like those used to anchor a tent); they are the deep foundations of geological folds. A book named ‘Earth’ is considered as a basic reference
textbook on geology in many universities around the world. One of the authors of this book is Frank Press, who was the President of the Academy of Sciences in the USA for
12 years and was the Science Advisor to former US President Jimmy Carter. In this book he illustrates the mountain in a wedge-shape and the mountain itself as a small part of
the whole, whose root is deeply entrenched in the ground. [Earth , Press and Siever, p. 435. Also see Earth Science , Tarbuck and Lutgens, p. 157] According to Dr. Press, the
mountains play an important role in stabilizing the crust of the earth.
The Qur’aan clearly mentions the function of the mountains in preventing the earth from shaking: "And We have set on the earth Mountains standing firm, Lest it should shake with
them." [Al-Qur’aan 21:31]
The Qur’aanic descriptions are in perfect agreement with modern geological data.
MOUNTAINS FIRMLY FIXED
The surface of the earth is broken into many rigid plates that are about 100 km in thickness. These plates float on a partially molten region called aesthenosphere. Mountain
formations occur at the boundary of the plates. The earth’s crust is 5 km thick below oceans, about 35 km thick below flat continental surfaces and almost 80 km thick below
great mountain ranges. These are the strong foundations on which mountains stand. The Qur’aan also speaks about the strong mountain foundations in the following verse: "And
the mountains Hath He firmly fixed." [Al-Qur’aan 79:32] [A similar message is contained in the Qur’an in 88:19, 31:10 and 16:15]

V. OCEANOLOGY
BARRIER BETWEEN SWEET AND SALT WATERS
Consider the following Qur’aanic verses: "He has let free the two bodies Of flowing water, Meeting together: Between them is a Barrier Which they do not transgress." [Al-
Qur’aan 55:19-20]
In the Arabic text the word barzakh means a barrier or a partition. This barrier is not a physical partition. The Arabic word maraja literally means ‘they both meet and mix with each
other’. Early commentators of the Qur’aan were unable to explain the two opposite meanings for the two bodies of water, i.e. they meet and mix, and at the same time, there is
a barrier between them. Modern Science has discovered that in the places where two different seas meet, there is a barrier between them. This barrier divides the two seas so that
each sea has its own temperature, salinity and density. [ Principles of Oceanography , Davis, pp. 92-93] Oceanologists are now in a better position to explain this verse. There is a
slanted unseen water barrier between the two seas through which water from one sea passes to the other.
But when the water from one sea enters the other sea, it loses its distinctive characteristic and becomes homogenized with the other water. In a way this barrier serves as a
transitional homogenizing area for the two waters. This scientific phenomenon mentioned in the Qur’aan was also confirmed by Dr. William Hay who is a well-known marine
scientist and Professor of Geological Sciences at the University of Colorado, U.S.A. The Qur’aan mentions this phenomenon also in the following verse: "And made a separating
bar between the two bodies Of flowing water?" [Al-Qur’aan 27:61]
This phenomenon occurs in several places, including the divider between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean at Gibralter. But when the Qur’aan speaks about the divider
between fresh and salt water, it mentions the existence of "a forbidding partition" with the barrier. "It is He Who has Let free the two bodies Of flowing water: One palatable
and sweet, And the other salty and bitter; Yet has He Made a barrier between them, And a partition that is forbidden To be passed." [Al-Qur’aan 25:53]
Modern science has discovered that in estuaries, where fresh (sweet) and salt-water meet, the situation is somewhat different from that found in places where two seas meet. It has
been discovered that what distinguishes fresh water from salt water in estuaries is a "pycnocline zone with a marked density discontinuity separating the two
layers." [ Oceanography , Gross, p. 242. Also see Introductory Oceanography , Thurman, pp. 300-301.] This partition (zone of separation) has salinity different from both the fresh
water and the salt water. [Oceanography , Gross, p. 244 and Introductory Oceanography , Thurman, pp. 300-301.]
This phenomenon occurs in several places, including Egypt, where the river Nile flows into the Mediterranean Sea.
DARKNESS IN THE DEPTHS OF THE OCEAN
Prof. Durga Rao is an expert in the field of Marine Geology and was a professor at King Abdul Aziz University in Jeddah. He was asked to comment on the following verse: "Or (the
Unbelievers’ state) Is like the depths of darkness In a vast deep ocean, Overwhelmed with billow Topped by billow, Topped by (dark) clouds: Depths of darkness, one Above
another: if a man Stretches out his hand, He can hardly see it! For any to whom Allah Giveth not light, there is no light!" [Al-Qur’aan 24:40]
Prof. Rao said that scientists have only now been able to confirm, with the help of modern equipment that there is darkness in the depths of the ocean. Humans are unable to dive
unaided underwater for more than 20 to 30 meters, and cannot survive in the deep oceanic regions at a depth of more than 200 meters. This verse does not refer to all seas
because not every sea can be described as having accumulated darkness layered one over another. It refers especially to a deep sea or deep ocean, as the Qur’aan says, "darkness
in a vast deep ocean". This layered darkness in a deep ocean is the result of two causes:
1. A light ray is composed of seven colours. These seven colours are Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red (VIBGYOR). The light ray undergoes refraction when it
hits water. The upper 10 to 15 metres of water absorb the red colour. Therefore if a diver is 25 metres under water and gets wounded, he would not be able to see the red
colour of his blood, because the red colour does not reach this depth. Similarly orange rays are absorbed at 30 to 50 metres, yellow at 50 to 100 metres, green at 100 to 200
metres, and finally, blue beyond 200 metres and violet and indigo above 200 metres. Due to successive disappearance of colour, one layer after another, the ocean
progressively becomes darker, i.e. darkness takes place in layers of light. Below a depth of 1000 meters there is complete darkness. [Oceans, Elder and Pernetta, p. 27]
2. The sun’s rays are absorbed by clouds, which in turn scatter light rays thus causing a layer of darkness under the clouds. This is the first layer of darkness. When light rays
reach the surface of the ocean they are reflected by the wave surface giving it a shiny appearance. Therefore it is the waves which reflect light and cause darkness. The
unreflected light penetrates into the depths of the ocean. Therefore the ocean has two parts. The surface characterized by light and warmth and the depth characterized by
darkness. The surface is further separated from the deep part of the ocean by waves. The internal waves cover the deep waters of seas and oceans because the deep waters
have a higher density than the waters above them. The darkness begins below the internal waves. Even the fish in the depths of the ocean cannot see; their only source of light
is from their own bodies.
The Qur’aan rightly mentions: "Darkness in a vast deep ocean overwhelmed with waves topped by waves" .
In other words, above these waves there are more types of waves, i.e. those found on the surface of the ocean. The Qur’aanic verse continues, "topped by (dark) clouds; depths of
darkness, one above another."
These clouds as explained are barriers one over the other that further cause darkness by absorption of colours at different levels.
Prof. Durga Rao concluded by saying, "1400 years ago a normal human being could not explain this phenomenon in so much detail. Thus the information must have come from a
supernatural source".
VI. BIOLOGY
EVERY LIVING THING IS MADE OF WATER
Consider the following Qur’aanic verse: "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?" [Al-Qur’aan 21:30]
Only after advances have been made in science, do we now know that cytoplasm, the basic substance of the cell is made up of 80% water. Modern research has also revealed that
most organisms consist of 50% to 90% water and that every living entity requires water for its existence. Was it possible 14 centuries ago for any human-being to guess that every
living being was made of water? Moreover would such a guess be conceivable by a human being in the deserts of Arabia where there has always been scarcity of water? The
following verse refers to the creation of animals from water: "And Allah has created Every animal from water." [Al-Qur’aan 24:45]
The following verse refers to the creation of human beings from water: "It is He Who has Created man from water: Then has He established Relationships of lineage And marriage:
for thy Lord Has power (over all things)." [Al-Qur’aan 25:54]

INTRODUCTION
Ever since the dawn of human life on this planet, Man has always sought to understand Nature, his own place in the scheme of Creation and the purpose of Life itself. In this quest
for Truth, spanning many centuries and diverse civilizations, organized religion has shaped human life and determined to a large extent, the course of history. While some religions
have been based on books, claimed by their adherents to be divinely inspired, others have relied solely on human experience.
Al-Qur’aan, the main source of the Islamic faith, is a book believed by Muslims, to be of completely Divine origin. Muslims also believe that it contains guidance for all mankind.
Since the message of the Qur’aan is believed to be for all times, it should be relevant to every age. Does the Qur’aan pass this test? In this booklet, I intend to give an objective
analysis of the Muslim belief regarding the Divine origin of the Qur’aan, in the light of established scientific discoveries.
There was a time, in the history of world civilization, when ‘miracles’, or what was perceived to be a miracle, took precedence over human reason and logic. But how do we define
the term ‘miracle’? A miracle is anything that takes place out of the normal course of life and for which humankind has no explanation. However, we must be careful before
we accept something as a miracle. An article in ‘The Times of India’ Mumbai, in 1993 reported that ‘a saint’ by the name ‘Baba Pilot’ claimed to have stayed continuously
submerged under water in a tank for three consecutive days and nights. However, when reporters wanted to examine the base of the tank of water where he claimed to
have performed this ‘miraculous’ feat, he refused to let them do so. He argued by asking as to how one could examine the womb of a mother that gives birth to a child. The ‘Baba’
was hiding something. It was a gimmick simply to gain publicity. Surely, no modern man with even the slightest inkling towards rational thinking would accept such a ‘miracle’. If
such false miracles are the tests of divinity, then we would have to accept Mr. P. C. Sorcar, the world famous magician known for his ingenious magical tricks and illusions, as the
best God-man.
A book, claiming Divine origin, is in effect, claiming to be a miracle. Such a claim should be easily verifiable in any age, according to the standards of that age. Muslims believe, that
the Qur’aan is the last and final revelation of God, the miracle of miracles revealed as a mercy to mankind. Let us therefore investigate the veracity of this belief.
I would like to thank Brother Musaddique Thange for his editorial assistance. May Allah (swt) reward him for his efforts, Aameen
THE CHALLENGE OF THE QUR’AAN
Literature and poetry have been instruments of human expression and creativity, in all cultures. The world also witnessed an age when literature and poetry occupied pride of
position, similar to that now enjoyed by science and technology.
Muslims as well as non-Muslims agree that Al-Qur’aan is Arabic literature par excellence - that it is the best Arabic literature on the face of the earth. The Qur’aan, challenges
mankind in the following verses:
"And if ye are in doubt As to what We have revealed From time to time to Our Servant, then produce a Soorah Like thereunto; And call your witnesses or helpers (If there are
any) besides Allah, If your (doubts) are true. But if ye cannot –And of a surety you cannot. Then fear the Fire Whose fuel is Men and Stones – Which is prepared for those
Who reject Faith." [Al-Qur’aan 2:23-24] [Al-Qur’an 2:23-24 indicates Soorah or Chapter No. 2 and Ayaat or Verses 23 and 24]
The same notation is followed throughout the book. References and translation of the Qur’aan are from the translation of the Qur’aan by Abdullah Yusuf Ali, new revised edition,
1989, published by Amana Corporation, Maryland, USA.
The challenge of the Qur’aan, is to produce a single Soorah (chapter) like the Soorahs it contains. The same challenge is repeated in the Qur’aan several times. The challenge to
produce a Soorah, which, in beauty, eloquence, depth and meaning is at least somewhat similar to a Qur’aanic Soorah remains unmet to this day. A modern rational man, however,
would never accept a religious scripture, which says, in the best possible poetic language, that the world is flat. This is because we live in an age, where human reason, logic and
science are given primacy. Not many would accept the Qur’aan’s extraordinarily beautiful language, as proof of its Divine origin. Any scripture claiming to be a divine revelation
must also be acceptable on the strength of its own reason and logic.
According to the famous physicist and Nobel Prize winner, Albert Einstein, "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind." Let us therefore study the Qur’aan,
and analyze whether The Qur’aan and Modern Science are compatible or incompatible?
The Qur’aan is not a book of science but a book of ‘signs’, i.e. ayats. There are more than six thousand ‘signs’ in the Qur’aan of which more than a thousand deal with science. We
all know that many a times Science takes a ‘U-turn’. In this book I have considered only established scientific facts and not mere hypotheses and theories that are based
on assumptions and are not backed by proof.
I. ASTRONOMY
CREATION OF THE UNIVERSE: ‘THE BIG BANG’
The creation of the universe is explained by astrophysicists in a widely accepted phenomenon, popularly known as the ‘Big Bang’. It is supported by observational and experimental
data gathered by astronomers and astrophysicists for decades. According to the ‘Big Bang’, the whole universe was initially one big mass (Primary Nebula). Then there was a ‘Big
Bang’ (Secondary Separation) which resulted in the formation of Galaxies. These then divided to form stars, planets, the sun, the moon, etc. The origin of the universe was
unique and the probability of it occurring by ‘chance’ is zero. The Qur’aan contains the following verse, regarding the origin of the universe: "Do not the Unbelievers see That the
heavens and the earth Were joined together (as one Unit of Creation), before We clove them asunder?" [Al-Qur’aan 21:30]
The striking congruence between the Qur’aanic verse and the ‘Big Bang’ is inescapable! How could a book, which first appeared in the deserts of Arabia 1400 years ago, contain this
profound scientific truth?
THERE WAS AN INITIAL GASEOUS MASS BEFORE THE CREATION OF GALAXIES
Scientists say that before the galaxies in the universe were formed, celestial matter was initially in the form of gaseous matter. In short, huge gaseous matter or clouds were present
before the formation of the galaxies. To describe initial celestial matter, the word ‘smoke’ is more appropriate than gas. The following Qur’aanic verse refers to this state of the
universe by the word dhukhan which means smoke.
"Moreover, He Comprehended In His design the sky, And it had been (as) smoke: He said to it And to the earth: ‘Come ye together, Willingly or unwillingly.’ They said: ‘We do
come (Together), in willing obedience.’" [Al-Qur’aan 41:11]
Again, this fact is a corollary to the ‘Big Bang’ and was not known to the Arabs during the time of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). What then, could have been the source of
this knowledge?
THE SPHERICAL SHAPE OF THE EARTH
In early times, people believed that the earth is flat. For centuries, men were afraid to venture out too far, lest they should fall off the edge. Sir Francis Drake was the first person who
proved that the earth is spherical when he sailed around it in 1597. Consider the following Qur’aanic verse regarding the alternation of day and night: "Seest thou not that Allah
merges Night into Day And He merges Day into Night?" [Al-Qur’aan 31:29]
Merging here means that the night slowly and gradually changes to day and vice versa. This phenomenon can only take place if the earth is spherical. If the earth was flat, there
would have been a sudden change from night to day and from day to night.
The following verse also alludes to the spherical shape of the earth: "He created the heavens And the earth In true (proportions): He makes the Night Overlap the Day, and the Day
Overlap the Night." [Al-Qur’aan 39:5]
The Arabic word used here is Kawwara meaning ‘to overlap’ or ‘to coil’– the way a turban is wound around the head. The overlapping or coiling of the day and night can only take
place if the earth is spherical.
The earth is not exactly round like a ball, but geo-spherical i.e. it is flattened at the poles. The following verse contains a description of the earth’s shape:
"And the earth, moreover, Hath He made egg shaped." [Al-Qur’aan 79:30] [The Arabic word dahaha has been translated by A. Yusuf Ali as "vast expanse", which also is
correct. The word dahaha also means an ostrich-egg.]
The Arabic word for egg here is dahaha , which means an ostrich-egg. The shape of an ostrich-egg resembles the geo-spherical shape of the earth. Thus the Qur’aan correctly
describes the shape of the earth, though the prevalent notion when the Qur’aan was revealed was that the earth is flat.
THE LIGHT OF THE MOON IS REFLECTED LIGHT
It was believed by earlier civilizations that the moon emanates its own light. Science now tells us that the light of the moon is reflected light. However this fact was mentioned in the
Qur’aan 1,400 years ago in the following verse:
"Blessed is He Who made Constellations in the skies, And placed therein a Lamp And a Moon giving light." [Al-Qur’aan 25:61]
The Arabic word for the sun in the Qur’aan, is shams . It is referred to as siraaj , which means a ‘torch’ or as wahhaaj which means ‘a blazing lamp’ or as diya which means ‘shining
glory’. All three descriptions are appropriate to the sun, since it generates intense heat and light by its internal combustion. The Arabic word for the moon is qamar and it is
described in the Qur’aan as muneer, which is a body that gives nur i.e. light. Again, the Qur’aanic description matches perfectly with the true nature of the moon, which does not
give off light itself and is an inert body that reflects the light of the sun. Not once in the Qur’aan, is the moon mentioned as siraaj , wahhaaj or diya or the sun as nur or muneer . This
implies that the Qur’aan recognizes the difference between the nature of sunlight and moonlight.
Consider the following verses related to the nature of light from the sun and the moon: "It is He who made the sun To be a shining glory And the moon to be a light (Of
beauty)." [Al-Qur’aan 10:5]
"See ye not How Allah has created The seven heavens One above another, "And made the moon A light in their midst, and made the sun As a (Glorious) Lamp?" [Al-
Qur’aan 71:15-16]
THE SUN ROTATES
For a long time European philosophers and scientists believed that the earth stood still in the center of the universe and every other body including the sun moved around it. In the
West, this geocentric concept of the universe was prevalent right from the time of Ptolemy in the second century B.C. In 1512, Nicholas Copernicus put forward his Heliocentric
Theory of Planetary Motion, which asserted that the sun is motionless at the centre of the solar system with the planets revolving around it.
In 1609, the German scientist Yohannus Keppler published the ‘Astronomia Nova’. In this he concluded that not only do the planets move in elliptical orbits around the sun, they
also rotate upon their axes at irregular speeds. With this knowledge it became possible for European scientists to explain correctly many of the mechanisms of the solar
system including the sequence of night and day.
After these discoveries, it was thought that the Sun was stationary and did not rotate about its axis like the Earth. I remember having studied this fallacy from Geography books
during my school days. Consider the following Qur’aanic verse: "It is He Who created The Night and the Day, And the sun and the moon: All (the celestial bodies) Swim along, each
in its Rounded course." [Al-Qur’aan 21:33]
The Arabic word used in the above verse is yasbahûn . The word yasbahûn is derived from the word sabaha. It carries with it the idea of motion that comes from any moving body.
If you use the word for a man on the ground, it would not mean that he is rolling but would mean he is walking or running. If you use the word for a man in water it would not mean
that he is floating but would mean that he is swimming.
Similarly, if you use the word yasbah for a celestial body such as the sun it would not mean that it is only flying through space but would mean that it is also rotating as it goes
through space. Most of the school textbooks have incorporated the fact that the sun rotates about its axis. The rotation of the sun about its own axis can be proved with the help of
an equipment that projects the image of the sun on the table top so that one can examine the image of the sun without being blinded. It is noticed that the sun has spots which
complete a circular motion once every 25 days i.e. the sun takes approximately 25 days to rotate around its axis.
In fact, the sun travels through space at roughly 150 miles per second, and takes about 200 million years to complete one revolution around the center of our Milky Way Galaxy.
"It is not permitted To the Sun to catch up The Moon, nor can The Night outstrip the Day: Each (just) swims along In (its own) orbit (According to Law)." [Al-Qur’aan 36:40]
This verse mentions an essential fact discovered by modern astronomy, i.e. the existence of the individual orbits of the Sun and the Moon, and their journey through space with their
own motion. The ‘fixed place’ towards, which the sun travels, carrying with it the solar system, has been located exactly by modern astronomy. It has been given a name, the Solar
Apex. The solar system is indeed moving in space towards a point situated in the constellation of Hercules (alpha Layer) whose exact location is firmly established.
The moon rotates around its axis in the same duration that it takes to revolve around the earth. It takes approximately 29½ days to complete one rotation. One cannot help but be
amazed at the scientific accuracy of the Qur’aanic verses. Should we not ponder over the question: "What was the source of knowledge contained in the Qur’aan?"
THE SUN WILL EXTINGUISH AFTER A CERTAIN PERIOD
The light of the sun is due to a chemical process on its surface that has been taking place continuously for the past five billion years. It will come to an end at some point of time in
the future when the sun will be totally extinguished leading to extinction of all life on earth. Regarding the impermanence of the sun’s existence the Qur’aan says: "And the Sun
Runs its course For a period determined For it; that is The decree of (Him) The exalted in Might, The All-Knowing." [Al-Qur’aan 36:38] [A similar message is conveyed in the
Qur’an in 13:2, 35:13, 39:5 and 39:21]
The Arabic word used here is mustaqarr, which means a place or time that is determined. Thus the Qur’aan says that the sun runs towards a determined place, and will do so only
up to a pre-determined period of time – meaning that it will end or extinguish.
THE PRESENCE OF INTERSTELLAR MATTER
Space outside organized astronomical systems was earlier assumed to be a vacuum . Astrophysicists later discovered the presence of bridges of matter in this interstellar space.
These bridges of matter are called plasma, and consist of completely ionized gas containing equal number of free electrons and positive ions. Plasma is sometimes called the
fourth state of matter (besides the three known states viz. solid, liquid and gas). The Qur’aan mentions the presence of this interstellar material in the following verse: "He Who
created the heavens And the earth and all That is between." [Al-Qur’aan 25:59]
It would be ridiculous, for anybody to even suggest that the presence of interstellar galactic material was known 1400 years ago.
THE EXPANDING UNIVERSE
In 1925, an American astronomer by the name of Edwin Hubble, provided observational evidence that all galaxies are receding from one another, which implies that the universe is
expanding. The expansion of the universe is now an established scientific fact. This is what Al-Qur’aan says regarding the nature of the universe: "With the power and skill Did We
construct The Firmament: For it is We Who create The vastness of Space." [Al-Qur’aan 51:47]
The Arabic word mûsi‘ûn is correctly translated as ‘expanding it’, and it refers to the creation of the expanding vastness of the universe. Stephen Hawking, in his book, ‘A Brief
History of Time’, says, "The discovery that the universe is expanding was one of the great intellectual revolutions of the 20th century."
The Qur’aan mentioned the expansion of the universe, before man even learnt to build a telescope! Some may say that the presence of astronomical facts in the Qur’aan is not
surprising since the Arabs were advanced in the field of astronomy. They are correct in acknowledging the advancement of the Arabs in the field of astronomy. However they fail to
realize that the Qur’aan was revealed centuries before the Arabs excelled in astronomy. Moreover many of the scientific facts mentioned above regarding astronomy, such as the
origin of the universe with a Big Bang, were not known to the Arabs even at the peak of their scientific advancement. The scientific facts mentioned in the Qur’aan are therefore not
due to the Arabs’ advancement in astronomy. Indeed, the reverse is true. The Arabs advanced in astronomy, because astronomy occupies a place in the Qur’aan.
II. PHYSICS
THE EXISTENCE OF SUBATOMIC PARTICLES
In ancient times a well-known theory by the name of ‘Theory of Atomism’ was widely accepted. This theory was originally proposed by the Greeks, in particular by a man called
Democritus, who lived about 23 centuries ago. Democritus and the people that came after him, assumed that the smallest unit of matter was the atom. The Arabs used to believe
the same. The Arabic word dharrah most commonly meant an atom. In recent times modern science has discovered that it is possible to split even an atom. That the atom can be
split further is a development of the 20th century. Fourteen centuries ago this concept would have appeared unusual even to an Arab. For him the dharrah was the limit
beyond which one could not go. The following Qur’aanic verse however, refuses to acknowledge this limit: "The Unbelievers say, ‘Never to us will come The Hour’: say, ‘Nay! But
most surely, By my Lord, it will come Upon you – by Him Who knows the unseen – From Whom is not hidden The least little atom In the Heavens or on earth: Nor is there
anything less Than that, or greater, but Is in the Record Perspicuous.’" [Al-Qur’aan 34:3] [A similar message is conveyed in the Qur’an in 10:61]
This verse refers to the Omniscience of God, His knowledge of all things, hidden or apparent. It then goes further and says that God is aware of everything, including what is smaller
or bigger than the atom. Thus the verse clearly shows that it is possible for something smaller than the atom to exist, a fact discovered only recently by modern science.

@ AROONSON THAT IS THE FACT THEY DONT LISTEN TO THE TRUTH THEY WILL COME HERE NOT TO PROVE ME WRONG BUT TO ABUSE MAY ALLAH NOT LEAD US ASTRAY

Scientific Errors
based on a live debate between
Dr. Zakir Naik (a physician & a scholar on Islam)
&
Dr. William Campbell (a physician & a scholar on Christianity)
Dr. Zakir Naik says:
First, we deal with Astronomy . The Bible speaks about the creation of the universe. In the beginning, 1 st Book, Book of
Genesis, 1st Ch., it is mentioned - It says… ‘Almighty God created the Heavens and the Earth, in six days and talks about a
evening and a morning, referring to a 24 - hour day. Today scientists tell us, that the universe cannot be created in a 24
hour period of six days. Qur’an too speaks about six ‘ayyams’ . The Arabic word singular is ‘yaum’ plural is ‘ayyam’ . It can
either mean a day of 24 hours, or it is a very long period, an ‘yaum’ , an epoch. Scientists say we have no objection in
agreeing that the universe - it could have been created in 6 very long periods.
Point No.2 - Bible says in Genesis Ch. No. 1 Verses No. 3 and 5,…‘Light was created on the first day.’ Genesis, Ch., 1 Verses,
14 to 19… ‘The cause of light - stars and the sun, etc. was created on the fourth day’. How can the cause of light be created
on the 4th day - later than the light which came into existence on the first day? - It is unscientific.
Point No.3 - Further, the, Bible says Genesis, Ch. 1, Verses 9 to 13… ‘Earth was created on the 3 rd day. How can you have a
night and day without the earth ? The day depends upon the rotation of the Earth Without the earth created, how can you
have a night and day?
Point No..4 - Genesis, Ch. No. 1 Verses 9 to 13 says… ‘Earth was created on the third day.’ Genesis Ch. No. 1 Verses 14 to 19
says…‘The Sun and the Moon were created on the fourth day.’ Today science tells us… ‘Earth is part of the parent body…
the sun.’ It cannot come into existence before the sun – It is unscientific.
Point No. 5 - The Bible says in Genesis, Ch. No.1, Verse No. 11 to 13…‘The vegetation, the herbs the shrubs, the trees - they
were created on the 3 rd day And the Sun, Genesis, Ch. No. 1, Verses. 14 to 19, was created on the 4 th day. How can the
vegetation come into existence without sunlight, and how can they survive without sunlight ?
Point No.6 - The Bible says in Genesis, Ch. 1, Verses No.16, that…‘God created two lights the greater light, the Sun to rule
the day, and the lesser light the Moon, to rule the night. The actual translation, if you go to the Hebrew text, it is
‘lamps’…‘Lamps having lights of its own.’ And that you will come to know better, if you read both the Verses – Genesis, Ch.
No.1, Verse. 16, as well as 17. Verse No.17 says…‘And Almighty God placed them in the firmament, to give light to the
earth… To give light to the earth.’ Indicating, that Sun and the Moon has its own light - which is in contradiction with
established scientific knowledge that we have. There are certain people who try and reconciliate, and say that the six days
mentioned in the Bible , it actually refers to epocs - like the Qur’an long periods - not six, 24 hour day. It is illogical - you
read in the Bible , evening, morning - It clearly states 24 hours, it indicates. But even if I use the concordance approach - no
problem. I agree with your illogical argument - Yet they will only be able to solve the 1 st scientific error of 6 days creation,
and second, of first day ‘light’ and 3 rd day ‘earth.’ The remaining four, yet they cannot solve. Some further say that… ‘If it
is a 24-hour period, why cannot the vegetables survive for one 24 hour day without sunlight?’ I say ‘Fine - If you say that
the vegetables were created before the sun, and can survive for one 24-hour day, I have got no objection. But you cannot
say the days mentioned are 24 hours as well as epochs - You cannot have the cake and eat it, both. If you say it is long
period, you solve Point No.1 and 3, the remaining 4 are yet there. If you say the days are 24 hours day, you solve only Point
No.5 - the remaining 5 are yet there - It becomes unscientific. I leave it to Dr. William Campbell, whether he wants to say…
‘It is long period’, and say that there are only 4 scientific errors - or say… ‘It is a 24 hour day’, and say there is only 5
scientific errors in the creation of the universe.
Point No. 7 - Regarding the concept of Earth, there are various Scientists who have described… ‘How will the world end.’
Hypothesis - Some may be right, some may be wrong. But either the world will perish or the world will live forever. Both
cannot take place simultaneously – It is unscientific. But this is exactly what the Bible says. It is mentioned in the Bible , in
the book of Hebrews, Ch. No.1 Verses No.10 and 11, and the book of Psalms, Ch. No.102, Verse No.25 and 26,
that…‘Almighty God created the Heavens and the Earth, and they will perish.’ Exactly opposite is mentioned in the book of
Ecclesiastics, Ch. No.1, Verse No.4, and the book of Psalms, Ch. No.78, Verse No.69, that… ‘The earth will abide forever.’ I
leave it to Dr. William Campbell to choose which of the two Verses are unscientific - the first pair or the second pair. One
has to be unscientific - Both cannot take place. The world cannot abide forever as well as perish – It is unscientific.
Point No. 8 - Regarding ‘the Heavens’ , the Bible says in Job, Ch. 26, Verse 11, that…‘The pillars of the Heaven will tremble.’
Qur’an says in Surah Luqman, Ch. 31, Verse No.10, that…‘The Heavens are without any pillars - Don`t you see? Don’t you
see the Heavens are without any pillars? - Bible says heaven have got pillars.
Point No. 9 - Not only do the Heavens have got pillars - Bible says in the first book of Samuel, Ch. No.2 Verses No.8, as well
as the book of Job Ch. No.9, Verse No.6, and the book of Psalms Ch. No.75, Verse No.3, that… ‘Even the earth have got
pillars.’
Point No. 10 - In the field of ‘Diet and Nutrition’ lets analyse, what does the Bible say. The Bible says in the book of
Genesis, Ch. No.1, Verse No.29, that… ‘God has given you all the herbs bearing seeds, the trees bearing fruits - those that
bear seed, as meat for you.’ New International Version says… ‘The seed bearing plants, and the trees bearing fruits bearing
seeds are food for you, all of them.’ Today, even a layman knows that there are several poisonous plants like wild berries,
stritchi, datura, plants containing alkaloid, polyander, bacaipoid - that which if you ingest, if you eat there are high
possibilities you may die. How come the Creator of the universe and the human beings, does not know, that if you have
these plants, you will die. I hope Dr. William Campbell does not give these vegetarian diet to his patients.
Point No. 11 - The Bible has a scientific test how to identify a true believer. It is mentioned in the Gospel of Mark, Ch.
No.16, Verse No.17 and 18 - It says that… ‘There will be signs for true believers and among the signs - In my name they
shall cast out devils, they shall speak foreign tongues, new tongues, they shall take up serpents - And if they drink deadly
poison, they shall not be harmed - And when they place their hand over the sick, they shall be cured.’ This is a scientific
test - In scientific terminology, it is known as the ‘confirmatory test’ for a true Christian believer. In the past 10 years of my
life, I have personally interacted with thousands of Christians, including missionaries - I have not come across a single
Christian, who has passed this confirmatory test of the Bible. I have not come across a single Christian who took poison - I
have not come across any who took poison, and who has not died. And in scientific terminology, this is also called as the
‘falsification test’ That means if a false person tries and does this test… takes poison, he will die. And a false person will not
dare attempt this test - If you are not a true Christian believer, you will not dare attempt this test. Because you try and
attempt the falsification test, you will fail. So a person who is not a true Christian believer, will never attempt this test. I
have read the book ‘The Qur’an and the Bible in the light of history and science’ written by Dr. William Campbell. And I
assume - that he is a true Christian believer, and at least I would like him to confirm to me about the falsification test.
Please be rest assured… Please be rest assured, I will not ask Dr. William Campbell to have deadly poison - Because I don’t
want to jeopardize the debate. What I’ll do - I will only ask him to speak in foreign tongues… In new languages. And as
many of you may be aware that India is a land, which has more than 1000 languages and dialects. Only thing I request him
is, to say these 3 words… ‘One hundred rupees’, in the 17 official languages. There are only 17 official languages in India
and to make it easier for Dr. William Campbell, I have got a ‘One hundred-rupee note.’ And this has all the 17 languages
mentioned here. Besides English and Hindi, I will help him. I give him a beginning –‘Ek sav rupaiya, In Hindi. The
remaining 15 languages are here - I request him to read. I know the test says… ‘They will speak foreign languages on their
own, without the help of reading’ - but I want to make the test easier, I want to see someone passing the test - I’ve not seen
any one. So if he cannot say it on his own, or from his memory, at least read it. I don’t mind I’ll accept it. And I would
request the chairperson to give it to Dr. William Campbell. He has his rebuttal - 15 languages, ‘Ek sav rupaiya’… 3 words
only. What does the Bible say regarding ‘Hydrology’? Bible says in Genesis, Ch. No.9, Verse No.13 to 17, that… ‘After God, at
the time of Noah submerged the world by flood, and after the flood’ subsided, He said… ‘I put up a rainbow in the sky as a
promise to the humankind never to submerge the world again, by water. To the unscientific person it may be quite good…
‘Oh rainbow is a sign of Almighty God, never to submerge the world by flood again.’ But today we know very well, that
rainbow is due to the refraction of sunlight, with rain or mist. Surely there must have been thousands of rainbows before
the time of Noah, peace be upon him. To say it was not there before Noah’s time you have to assume that the law of
refraction did not exist - which is unscientific.’
Point No. 12 - In the field of medicine , the Bible says in the book of Leveticus, Ch. No.14, Verse No.49 to 53 - it gives a
novel way for disinfecting a house from plague of leprosy… disinfecting a house from plague of leprosy. It says that…
‘Take two birds, kill one bird, take wood, scale it - and the other living bird, dip it in water… and under running water -
later on sprinkle the house 7 times with it. Sprinkle the house with blood to disinfect against plague of leprosy? You know
blood is a good media of germs, bacteria, as well as toxin - I hope Dr. William Campbell does not use this method of
disinfecting the OT, the operation theatre.
Point No. 13 - It is mentioned in the book of Leveticus, Ch. No.12, Verse No.1 to 5, and we know medically, that after a
mother gives birth to a child, the post-partal period, it is unhygienic. To say it is ‘unclean’, Religiously - I have got no
objection. But Leviticus, Ch. No.12 Verse No.1 to 5, says that… ‘After a woman gives birth to a male child, she will be
unclean for 7 days, and the period of uncleanliness will continue for 33 days more. If she gives birth to a female child, she
will be unclean for two weeks, and the period of uncleanliness will continue for 66 days. In short, if a woman gives birth to
a male child… ‘a son’, she is unclean for 40 days. If she gives birth to a female child… ‘a daughter’, she is unclean for 80
days. I would like Dr. William Campbell to explain to me scientifically, how come a woman remains unclean for double the
period, if she gives birth to a female child, as compared to a male child.
Point No. 14 - The Bible also has a very good test for adultery - How to come to know a woman has committed adultery. In
the book of Numbers, Ch. no.5 Verse No..11 to 31, I’ll just say in brief, it says that… ‘The priest should take holy water in a
vessel, take dust from the floor, and put it into the vessel - And that is the bitter water ‘And after cursing it, give it to the
woman And if the woman has committed adultery, after she drinks it, the curse will enter her body, the stomach will swell,
the thigh will rot, and she shall be cursed by the people. If the woman has not committed adultery, she will remain clean
and she will bear the seed. A novel method of identifying whether a woman has committed adultery or not. You know
today in the world, there are thousands of cases pending in different parts of the world, in different courts of law - only on
the assumption that someone has alleged that a woman has committed adultery. I had read in the newspapers, and I came
to know from the media, that the President of this great country Mr. Bill Clinton, he was involved in a sex scandal about 2
years back. I wonder, that why did not the American court use this ‘bitter water test’ for adultery? He would have gone
scot-free immediately. Why did not the Christian missionaries of this great country, specially those who are in the medical
field like my respected Dr. William Campbell, use this bitter water test to bail out their President, immediately.
Point No. 15 - ‘Mathematics’ is a branch, which is closely associated with science, with which you can solve problems, etc.
There are thousands of contradictions in the Bible - hundreds deal with mathematics, and I’ll first touch on few of them. It
is mentioned in Ezra, Ch. No.2, Verse No.1, and Nehemiah, Ch. No.7, Verse No.6, the context that… ‘When the people
returned from exile, from Babylon, when king Nebucheldeser of Babylon, when he released the men from Israel, they
came back from captivity’ - and the list of the people are given. The list is given in Ezra, Ch. No.2, Verse No.2 to 63, and
Nehemiah Ch. No.7, Verse No.7 up to 65; the list is given with the names as well as number of people released. In these 60
Verses there are no less than 18 times - the name is exactly the same but the number is different. There are no less than 18
contradictions in less than 60 Verses, of these two Chapters. This is the list - I don’t have time to run through the list - There
are no less than 18 different contradictions in less than 60 Verses.
Point No. 16 - Further it is mentioned in Ezra, Ch. No.2 Verse No.64 that… ‘The total congregation, if you add up… if you
add up, it comes to 42,360.’ And if you read in Nehemiah, Ch. No.7, Verse No.66, there also the total is the same 42,360. But
if you add up all these verses - which I had to do my homework - this is the list of Ezra… this is the list of Nehemiah. Ezra
Ch. No 2, Nehemiah Ch. No 7 - If you add up - I had to do my homework…if you add up, Ezra Ch. No. 2 - It does not come to
42,360 - it comes to 29,818. And if you add up Nehemiah, Ch. No. 7, even then it does not come to 42,360 - It comes to
31,089. The author of the Bible, presumed to be ‘Almighty God’, does not know simple addition. If you give this problem,
even to a person who has passed elementary school, he will be able to get the right answer. If you add up all the 60 Verses,
it is so easy. Almighty God did not know adding – Nauzubillah… if we presume, that this is the word of God.
Point No. 17 - Further, if we read, in Ezra Ch. No. 2, Verse No. 65, it says…There were 200 singing men and women -
Nehemiah Ch. No. 7, Verse No. 67…‘There were 245 singing men and women.’ Were they 200 - or were they 245 singing
men and women? Context is the same - A mathematical contradiction.
Point No. 18 - It is mentioned in the 2nd Kings, Ch. No 24, Verse No 8, that…‘Jehoiachin was 18 years old, when he began to
reign Jerusalem, and he reigned for 3 months and 10 days. 2 nd Chronicles, Ch. No 36, Verse No 9, says that…‘Jehoiachin
was 8 years old when he began to reign and he reigned for 3 months, 10 days. Was Jehoiachin 18 years when he began to
reign, or was he 8 years old?
Point No. 19 - Did he reign for 3 months, or did he reign for 3 months 10 days?
Point No. 20 - Further, it is mentioned in the 1 st Kings, Ch. No 7, Verse No 26, that…‘In Solomon’s temple, in his molten sea,
he had 2000 baths. In 2nd Chronicles, Ch. No 4, Verse No 5, he had 3000 baths. Did he have 2000 baths or did he have 3000
baths? – That, I leave it upon Dr. William Campbell to decide which is correct. There is a clear-cut mathematical
contradiction.
Point No. 21 - Furthermore. it is mentioned in the First Kings, Ch. No. 15, Verse No. 33, that… ‘Basha, he died in the 26th
year of reign of Asa.’ And 2 nd Chronicles Ch. No 16, Verse No 1, says that…‘Basha invaded Judah in the 36th years of the
reign of Asa.’ How can Basha invade 10 years after his death? - It is unscientific.
( Point No. 22 - Almighty God - He said, “I put up a rainbow in the sky, as a promise to the human kind, never to submerge
the world again by water”.)
To make it easier for Dr. William Campbell, to answer the points I have raised, I will just mention them in brief .
The points that I mentioned :
The first point was that -‘The creation of the Earth and the Heaven - the universe was in six, 24-hour days.
Point No. 2 - Light was then before the source of light.
Point No. 3 - Day came into existence before creation of Earth.
Point No. 4 - Earth came into existence before Sun.
Point No. 5 - Vegetation came into existence, before sunlight
Point No. 6 - Light of the Moon is its own light.
Point No. 7 - The earth - Will it perish or will it abide forever?
Point No. 8 - The heavens have got pillars.
Point No. 9 - The earth has got pillars.
Point No. 10 - God said… ‘You can have all plants and all vegetation, including the poisonous plants?’
Point No. 11 - The scientific test the falsification test, of Mark, Ch. No. 16, Verse No. 17 and 18.
Point No. 13 - Using blood to disinfect the house, against plague of leprosy.
Point No. 12 - A woman remains unclean for double the period, if she gives birth to a daughter, as compared to a son.
Point No. 14 – How do you find out the bitter water test for adultery?
Point No. 15 - Eighteen different contradictions in less than 60 Verses of Ezra, Ch. 2, and Nehemiah, Ch. 7. I did not count
them as 18 different - I counted them only as one.
Point No. 16 - The total is different is both the chapters.
Point No. 17 - Are there 200 singing men and women, or are there 245 singing men and women?
Point No. 18 - Was Jehoiachin 18 years old, or was he 8 years old when he began to reign?
Point No. 19 - Did he reign for 3 months, or 3 months 10 days.
Point No. 20 - Did Solomon have 3000 baths, or 2000 baths?
Point No. 21 - Is that Basha, how could he invade Judah, 10 years after his death?
Point No. 22 is - Almighty God - He said, “I put up a rainbow in the sky, as a promise to the human kind, never to submerge
the world again by water”.

The prophecy of Deuteronomy 18:18 continues. God says:
"...I will put my words in his mouth..."
'Putting words in his mouth' - is one of the distinct divine
knowledge of Allah to Prophet Muhammad, because, he was
not Learned, and he can not carry the responsibility except
Allah teaches him what to say! Consider the following in
Isaiah 29:12, as I mentioned several times in my rebuttals
above - In which, it had only happened to Prophet
Muhammad in the Cave of Hira - when Angel Gabriel met
him and asked him the following: 'READ', and Prophet
Muhammad said: 'I AM NOT LEARNED', Angel Gabriel
repeated three times the same word 'READ' and Prophet
Muhammad was answering the same words: 'I AM NOT
LEARNED.' Then later, Angel Gabriel proceeded:
"Read in the name of your Lord Who created.
He created man from a clot.
Read and your Lord is Most Honorable,
Who taught (to write) with the pen.
Taught man what he knew not." (Qur'an 96:1-5)
Telling to Prophet Muhammad to read is a clear indication
that Angel Gabriel was putting God's words to prophet
Muhammad's Mouth. And immediately after Angel Gabriel
continued reciting the verses of Allah, then Prophet
Muhammad rehearsed it and finally it remained in his
memory by the help of Allah Almighty. And this was the
beginning of the Qur'anic Revelation.
If some one will read the whole Qur'an with spirit of
understanding, will certainly find almost all the verses of the
Qur'an were based on the command 'SAY' to, 'SAY' to, 'SAY'
to... etc. means Allah is always the speaker and Prophet
Muhammad is the repeater or conveyor of the message to
the humanity. Examples of these verse are below:
SAY, "He is Allah , [who is] One,"
[Qur'an 112:1]
SAY, "It is only revealed to me that your god is but one God;
so will you be Muslims [in submission to Him]?"
[Qur'an 21:108]
But if they turn away, then SAY, "I have announced to [all of]
you equally. And I know not whether near or far is that which
you are promised." [Qur'an 21:109]
"And they SAY: "The Fire shall not touch us but for a few
numbered days:" Say: "Have ye taken a promise from Allah,
for He never breaks His promise? or is it that ye say of Allah
what ye do not know?" (Qur'an 2:80)
"When it is said to them, "Believe in what Allah Hath sent
down, "they say, "We believe in what was sent down to us:"
yet they reject all besides, even if it be Truth confirming what
is with them. SAY: "Why then have ye slain the prophets of
Allah in times gone by, if ye did indeed believe?" (Qur'an
2:91)
SAY, [O Muhammad], "If the home of the Hereafter with
Allah is for you alone and not the [other] people, then wish
for death, if you should be truthful." [Qur'an 2:94]
SAY: "Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel-for he brings down
the (revelation) to thy heart by Allah´s will, a confirmation of
what went before, and guidance and glad tidings for those
who believe," (Qur'an 2:97)
SAY to those who disbelieve, "You will be overcome and
gathered together to Hell, and wretched is the resting place."
[Qur'an 3:12]
SAY, "Shall I inform you of [something] better than that? For
those who fear Allah will be gardens in the presence of their
Lord beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally,
and purified spouses and approval from Allah . And Allah is
Seeing of [His] servants" [Qur'an 3:15]
SAY, "Whether ye hide what is in your hearts or reveal it,
Allah knows it all: He knows what is in the heavens, and
what is on earth. And Allah has power over all
things." (Qur'an 3:29)
SAY, "O People of the Book! come to common terms as
between us and you: That we worship none but Allah; that
we associate no partners with him; that we erect not, from
among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah." If
then they turn back, SAY ye: "Bear witness that we (at least)
are Muslims (bowing to Allah´s Will)." (Qur'an 3:64)
SAY: "We believe in Allah, and in what has been revealed to
us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ismael, Isaac, Jacob,
and the Tribes, and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus,
and the prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction
between one and another among them, and to Allah do we
bow our will (in Islam)." (Qur'an 3:184)
SAY: "Will ye worship, besides Allah, something which hath
no power either to harm or benefit you? But Allah,- He it is
that heareth and knoweth all things." (Qur'an 5:76)
To bring all the verses which carried this kind of divine
command 'SAY' in this book, cannot be possible, if we are to
bring it here, it directly means - bringing the whole Qur'an,
which is not possible. Therefore, the prophecy of Isaiah
29:12 and Deuteronomy 18:18 on "...I will put my words in
his mouth..." only deserves and fits to Prophet Muhammad,
not Prophet Jesus (peace and blessings of Allah be upon all
of them) the way Christians blindly assert!
The prophecy continues:
"...and he will tell them everything I commands him."
Those who know Qur’an, can give testimony on Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) that, all what is inside it, is purely God’s
words. You cannot see a single word of his speeches which
Prophet Muhammad includes in the Qur’an. All his speeches
and his activities were kept written in separate volume of
books, called Hadith.
And anything concerning his biography is written separate in
form of books called (Siratun-Nabiyi), i.e. Books of
biography of Prophet.
It is not like a Bible, which comprises so many things, such
as God’s word, Prophets’ Words and their activities. And
descriptions of Paul’s Profile of which, is highly included in
this present Bible – imagine even the descriptions of his
family were included. That’s why, we Muslims do not believe
that, the entire present Bible, as a whole as purely God’s
word.
Therefore, we can see, exactly in the Qur'an, anywhere Allah
commands Prophet Muhammad with the command - 'SAY',
and so he commanded his companions to write the verse, in
the same format the way it comes with the word of
command (SAY), without reducing or adding to the
commands. Allah Himself is a Witness of the truthfulness of
Prophet Muhammad. Allah says:
"I swear by the star when it goes down." (Qur'an 53:1)
(English - Shakir)
"Your companion does not err, nor does he go
astray;" (Qur'an 53:2) (English - Shakir)
"Nor does he speak out of desire." (Qur'an 53:3) (English -
Shakir)
"It is naught but revelation that is revealed," (Qur'an 53:4)
(English - Shakir)
"The Lord of Mighty Power has taught him," (Qur'an 53:5)
(English - Shakir)
"The Lord of Strength; so he attained completion," (Qur'an
53:6) (English - Shakir)
Therefore, the whole prophecies of Deuteronomy 18:18, only
fit to Prophet Muhammad, not Jesus! And the above facts
refuted their assertion of these prophecies on Prophet Jesus,
in order to mislead the mankind from understanding what
God truly means in the verse.
A WARNING ON THOSE WHO REFUSED TO HEAR THE GOD’S
WORDS THROUGH THIS PROPHET:
Jerusalem Bible says:
“The man who does not listen to my words that he speaks in
my name, shall be held answerable to me for
it.” (Deuteronomy 18:19)
The Revised Standard Version says:
“And whoever will not give heed to my words which he shall
speak in my name, I myself will require it of
him” (Deuteronomy 18:19) – (NIV)
New International Version says:
“If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet
speaks in my name, I myself will call him to
account.” (Deuteronomy 18:19)
But in the case is different in Catholic Bible, the ending
words are: “GOD WILL BE THE REVENGER.”
Here it is:
"And he that will not hear his words, which he shall speak in
my name, I will be the revenger." (Deuteronomy 18:19)
(Catholic Bible)
Note
God said: "...he that will not hear his words, which he shall
speak in my name..."
The point of view here is that, '...which he shall speak in my
name...'!
Who speaks in God's name?
The following facts will certainly tell us the person who
speaks in God's name:
Any body who reads Qur'an with understanding will certainly
give the answer!
In the whole Qur'an, every Chapter of the Qur'an begins with
the following formula:
'BISMILLAHIR RAHMANIR RAHEEM'
Means - In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful or
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
What does the prophecy require? - it says: "...which he shall
speak in my name..."
In whose name Prophet Muhammad speaks here?
Before Prophet Muhammad recites any verse of the Qur'an
he says 'IN THE NAME OF Allah THE MOST GRACIOUS THE
MOST MERCIFUL' - except in chapter number 9 of the
Qur'an, it is only in the chapter Allah did not command him
to say the formula.
Moreover, when Prophet Muhammad wants to do any thing,
he used to begin with the formula: 'BISMILLAH' - means - 'IN
THE NAME OF Allah'
But the reverse is the case, when Christians want to say or
do something, they begin with:
'IN JESUS NAME' or 'IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, SON
AND THE HOLY GHOST.'
Therefore, the prophecy says:
"And he that will not hear his words, which he shall speak in
my name, I will be the revenger."
Simply means - he that will not hear (Muhammad's words -
who speaks in Allah's name), Allah will be the revenger -
means Allah will not forgive him - which means Allah will
punish him/her in the day of Judgement, if they die in their
denial against his words!
The above verse also confirms what Allah says in the Qur'an
68:44 & 45:
"So leave Me, [O Muhammad], with [the matter of] whoever
denies the Qur'an. We will progressively lead them [to
punishment] from where they do not know. And I will give
them time. Indeed, My plan is firm."
Are these verses of Deuteronomy 18:19 (Catholic) and of
Qur'an 68:44 & 45 not enough to frighten the unbelievers?
Even Paul in his write-ups said:
"Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off
from among his people.'" ( Act 3:23 ) (N.I.V.)
"Indeed, all the prophets from Samuel on, as many as have
spoken, have foretold these days." ( Act 3:24 ) (N.I.V.)
Consequently, Allah reminds the Children of Israel about the
truth of Prophet Muhammad's advent they found in their
Scriptures. Allah says in the Qur'an:
"And believe in what I have revealed (now) confirming (the
prophecies of the Scripture) which are (already) with you,
and do not be the first to deny it, neither take a paltry price
for My Messages, and Me alone you should take as a shield
(for protection)." (Qur'an 2:41, English - Amatul Rahman
Omar)
"Do not confound the truth with falsehood, nor conceal the
truth knowingly." (Qur'an 2:42, English - Amatul Rahman
Omar)
"And be steadfast in prayer; practise regular charity; and
bow down your heads with those who bow down (in
worship)." (Qur'an 2:43, English - Yusuf Ali)
Note:
Indeed, the Bible and the Qur'an have spoken the truth of the
advent of Prophet Muhammad! And it is compulsory to listen
and follow him, as stated in the verse. If you look in the
different translations of Deuteronomy 18:19:
"The man who does not listen to my words that he speaks in
my name, shall be held answerable to me for it." - Jerusalem
Version
If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet
speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account.” - New
International Version
But the warning is highly extreme in the Catholic Bible:
"And he that will not hear his words, which he shall speak in
my name, I will be the revenger." - Catholic Version
Does this not terrify you? That God himself would call you to
account or to take revenge against you. These words are
enough for you to fear Allah and fear the day of Judgment
that, surely would come!

Emusan: Angel Jibril indeed....as if you believe in the written of John himself.



Yet you said the torah and the Injil have been tampered with....Now they're part of everlasting gospel! Confusion.



Straw man argument, how does these verses relate with tampering?



This is where I'm going and my question you didn't answer.
1) Quran says the word of Allah can't be change but because you want to prove that Allah is a liar you said Allah's word can be change.
2) How is it possible for Allah to protect Quran from being change and difficult for Allah to prevent your Bani Israel from tampering with its word?



This is the lie you're being feeding with, infact not that no one tampered with quran BUT Devil himself has his own writing inside Quran called satanic verses.



Maybe your problem is you don't browse other than Islamic site where contradiction in Quran will never mention....kindly do yourself a favour by typing "contradiction in quran" on Google maybe you will see any link pop up.




Science when your book says earth is flat...
Fast growing religion on paper, why not using Nigeria as an example?



Jesus says "Ye shall know The Truth and the Truth shall set you free" John 8:32
What is this truth that we shall know?
Jesus answered the question "Jesus said unto him I am the Way, THE TRUTH, and the Life, no one come to the Father except through Him" John 14:6

Can you see who need to follow the Truth

PLEASE POST THE EVIDENCE FOR ME JUST A SINGLE CONTRADICTION AND WHERE QURAN CONTRADICT SCIENCE.........IF JESUS SAY I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH WHOEVER FOLLOW ME SHALL NOT GO ASTRAY HE IS RIGHT BUT U MIS INTERPRET HIM WHAT HE IS SAYING IS THAT IF U FOLLOW HIS TEACHING U WILL NOT GO ASTRAY WHEN HE TALK ABOUT MUHAMMAD U DENY IT........WOO UNTO U

eyeopener: @ Op

Who are you trying to convince? No Christians will take your twistings and additions to the bible seriously.
Islam cannot stand without reference to the bible. No Christian talks about Christianity referring to the quran.

BECAUSE IF WE PREACH ISLAM TO U IN THE QURAN U ALWAYS SAY IT IS NOT A WORD OF GOD U CLAIM MUHAMMAD IS A FALSE PROPHET SO WE HAVE TO TELL U THE TRUTH WE HAVE TO GIVE U EVIDENCE IN UR BIBLE ABOUT THE COMING OF MUHAMMAD AND EVEN THOUGH U TAMPER THE BIBLE THE TRUTH IS STILL IN IT AND THIS IS VERSE OF HAJJ IN THE QURAN [2:158] The knolls of Safa and Marwah
are among the rites decreed by GOD.
Anyone who observes Hajj or `Umrah
commits no error by traversing the
distance between them. If one
volunteers more righteous works, then
GOD is Appreciative, Omniscient.
(sub-title) Do Not Beat Around the Bush
[2:189] They ask you about the phases
of the moon! Say, "They provide a
timing device for the people, and
determine the time of Hajj." It is not
righteous to beat around the bush;*
righteousness is attained by upholding
the commandments and by being
straightforward. You shall observe GOD,
that you may succeed.
Footnote: *2:189 The literal Quranic
idiom says: "Do not enter the homes
through the back doors." The question
about the phases of the moon is an
example of beating around the bush;
there were bad ulterior motives behind
this question.
(sub-title) Hajj and `Umrah Pilgrimage*
[2:196] You shall observe the complete
rites of Hajj and`Umrah for GOD. If you
are prevented, you shall send an
offering, and do not resume cutting
your hair until your offering has
reached its destination. If you are ill, or
suffering a head injury (and you must
cut your hair), you shall expiate by
fasting, or giving to charity, or some
other form of worship. During the
normal Hajj, if you break the state of
Ihraam (sanctity) between `Umrah and
Hajj, you shall expiate by offering an
animal sacrifice. If you cannot afford it,
you shall fast three days during Hajj and
seven when you return home - this
completes ten - provided you do not live
at the Sacred Masjid. You shall observe
GOD, and know that GOD is strict in
enforcing retribution.
Footnote: *2:196 See the details of Hajj
and `Umrah in Appendix 15.
(sub-title) The Four Months of Hajj (Zul-Hijjah,
Muharram, Safar, & Rabi I)
[2:197] Hajj shall be observed in the
specified months.* Whoever sets out to
observe Hajj shall refrain from sexual
intercourse, misconduct, and arguments
throughout Hajj. Whatever good you do,
GOD is fully aware thereof. As you
prepare your provisions for the journey,
the best provision is righteousness. You
shall observe Me, O you who possess
intelligence.
Footnote: *2:197 Hajj can be observed
any time during the Sacred Months: Zul-
Hijjah, Muharram, Safar, and Rabi I.
Local governments restrict Hajj to a few
days for their own convenience. See 9:37
[2:198-201] You commit no error by
seeking provisions from your Lord
(through commerce). When you file
from `Arafaat, you shall commemorate
GOD at the Sacred Location (of
Muzdalifah). You shall commemorate
Him for guiding you; before this, you
had gone astray. You shall file together,
with the rest of the people who file, and
ask GOD for forgiveness. GOD is
Forgiver, Most Merciful. Once you
complete your rites, you shall continue
to commemorate GOD as you
commemorate your own parents, or
even better. Some people would say,
"Our Lord, give us of this world," while
having no share in the Hereafter.
Others would say, "Our Lord, grant us
righteousness in this world, and
righteousness in the Hereafter, and
spare us the retribution of Hell."
(sub-title) Mena: Last Rites of Hajj
[2:203] You shall commemorate GOD
for a number of days (in Mena);
whoever hastens to do this in two days
commits no sin, and whoever stays
longer commits no sin, so long as
righteousness is maintained. You shall
observe GOD, and know that before Him
you will be gathered.
[3:96-97] The most important shrine
established for the people is the one in
Becca;* a blessed beacon for all the
people. In it are clear signs: the station
of Abraham. Anyone who enters it shall
be granted safe passage. The people
owe it to GOD that they shall observe
Hajj to this shrine, when they can afford
it. As for those who disbelieve, GOD
does not need anyone.
[5:1-2] O you who believe, you shall
fulfill your covenants. Permitted for you
to eat are the livestock, except those
specifically prohibited herein. You shall
not permit hunting throughout Hajj
pilgrimage. GOD decrees whatever He
wills. O you who believe, do not violate
the rites instituted by GOD, nor the
Sacred Months, nor the animals to be
offered, nor the garlands marking them,
nor the people who head for the Sacred
Shrine (Ka`bah) seeking blessings from
their Lord and approval. Once you
complete the pilgrimage, you may
hunt.* Do not be provoked into
aggression by your hatred of people
who once prevented you from going to
the Sacred Masjid. You shall cooperate
in matters of righteousness and piety;
do not cooperate in matters that are
sinful and evil. You shall observe GOD.
GOD is strict in enforcing retribution.
Footnote: *5:2 Hunting and the cutting of
plants are forbidden during pilgrimage
for the conservation of natural resources.
With thousands of pilgrims converging on
Mecca, if hunting were permitted, the
land would quickly be stripped of its
natural resources. Animal offerings are
made part of the pilgrimage to provide
for the converging pilgrims, as well as
the local population, and to replenish any
depleted supplies. See 2:196.
(sub-title) Game Conservation
[5:94-95] O you who believe, GOD will
test you with some game within reach of
your hands and your arrows (during
pilgrimage). GOD thus distinguishes
those among you who observe Him in
their privacy. Those who transgress
after this have incurred a painful
retribution. O you who believe, do not
kill any game during pilgrimage.
Anyone who kills any game on purpose,
his fine shall be a number of livestock
animals that is equivalent to the game
animals he killed. The judgment shall be
set by two equitable people among you.
They shall make sure that the offerings
reach the Ka`bah. Otherwise, he may
expiate by feeding poor people, or by
an equivalent fast to atone for his
offense. GOD has pardoned past
offenses. But if anyone returns to such
an offense, GOD will avenge it. GOD is
Almighty, Avenger.........JUST PROVE ME WRONG FOR WHAT I SAID ONE OF U JUST RUN AWAT WHEN I GIVE HIM EVIDENCE SO JUST SAY WHERE I AM WRONG

Emusan: Lolll....
So how can Allah be so weak to protect Bible when Allah can't allow anybody to tamper with Qur'an?



Who are the people me or people who live before Muhammad or after Muhammad?
Qur'an say no one can change the word of Allah, so why Bible was tampered with?



Yet the same God who can't allow anybody to tamper with Qur'an is so weak to allow another people to tamper with Bible.
How does it sound?

The next thing Muslim will do now is to claim all the prophecies in the Bible for saw or what did you people call him?

as it is said in revelation 14:6 pls which angel is flying with the everlasting gospel that is gabriel who reveal the quran tomuhammad(saw) and what is the ever lasting gospel that is the quran the torah of moses and the injeel are just a warning to the bani israila just as it is said in the book of moses above that i will bring up a prophet like u from among my brethen......THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHERE THE BIBLE IS TAMPERED WITH THE BIBLE PERMIT ALCOHOL IT EVEN CALL GOD A DRUNKARD..... psalm
78:65 then the lord awoke as from sleep as a
man wakes from the stupor of wine. See how
Christians disgrace their God,
also this Jeremiah 25:15-16 This is what the LORD, the
God of Israel, said to me: “Take from my hand
this cup filled with the wine of my wrath and
make all the nations to whom I send you
drink it.When they drink it, they will stagger
and go mad because of the sword I will send
among them.”Also in Jeremiah 25:27-28 Then
tell them, ‘This is what the LORD Almighty, the
God of Israel, says: Drink, get drunk and
vomit, and fall to rise no more because of the
sword I will send among you.’ .........SO U CAN SEE GOD KNOWS THE BANI ISRAILA WILL TAMPER HIS WORD THAT IS WHY HE BRING US THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL WHICH IS THE QURAN NO ONE HAS EVER TAMPERED IT,NO SINGLE CONTRADICTION EVEN UNITED STATE USE MILLIONS OF DOLLAR TO TEST WHAT THE QURAN SAY IN THE ASPECT OF SCIENCE THEY ARE LEFT WITH THEIR MOUTH OPEN BECAUSE THEY FOUND THE TRUTH AND THAT IS WHY ISLAM IS THE FASTEST GROWING RELIGION IN UNITED STATE REPENT AND FOLLOW THE TRUTH

Emusan: Which Bible?
The one that contains many contradictions or the one that has been change or the historian narrated one which Christians have today according to Muslims?
Or Muslims have finally gotten the original Torah of Moses and Injil of Jesus?

Confuse people!

yes some bible parts has been tampered with any aspect that contradict islamic teaching is not from GOD even though it has been tampered we can still find some few traces of prophet muhammad and some few islamic teaching that ur people forgot to tamper with.......because GOD knows that if he allows u to tamper with everything before the spirit of truth come it will be difficult for people to believe

PLEASE GO AND READ SONG OF SOLOMON FROM CHPTER ONE TO EIGHT CHAI.........UR D*CK GO STAND EVEN IF U READ ONLY THE FIRST CHAPTER U WILL BE EAGER TO READ THE OTHER ONES COZ THEY ARE JUST TOO FUNNY...........THAT IS WHY I ALSO FEEL THAT BIBLE HAS BEEN TAMPERED WITH AND IT IS NO MORE WORD OF GOD

worship.AND ALSO IN THE BIBLE AND AT LEAST I HAVE GIVEN U D EVIDENCE FROM THE LARGEST ENCYCLOPEDIA WEBSITE THAT BACA IS THE ANCIENT NAME OF MECCA
