Islam › Re: Tell Why You Can't Accept Islam Personally - Mature Minds by TenQ: 8:47am On Jan 23
honesttalk21:
Sorry, you are mixing up polytheistic practices with theological beliefs, which actually contradicts your argument. The Story of the Abdullah Sacrifice shows Abdullah's father, Abdul-Muttalib, made a vow to sacrifice one of his sons. When the lot fell on Abdullah, he was redeemed with 100 camels. This sacrifice took place at the Kaaba, which had many idols, including Hubal. However, there are key points you’re overlooking:
1. Sacrificing at the Kaaba doesn't equate all idols to the same god as the Kaaba housed 360 idols, so sacrificing there doesn’t mean Hubal is the same as Allah or Al-Lat or any other idol.

2. Even polytheists recognized Allah as the supreme being. They saw Allah as the creator while using idols as intermediaries (Quran 29:61, 39:3). This is the reason they are criticized not for denying Allah’s existence, but for associating others with Him.

3. Your reasoning is flawed if sacrificing to Hubal equals sacrificing to Allah, then why did the early Muslims' first action after taking Mecca involve destroying Hubal while declaring Allah? Why destroy an idol if it represented the same deity? The goddesses were referred to as daughters of Allah in polytheistic beliefs, not daughters of Hubal.There’s no pre-Islamic text that supports your argument.

The Quran explicitly criticizes the idols Al-Lat, Al-'Uzza, and Manat in verses 53:19-23, rejecting the polytheist belief that they were daughters of Allah. Instead, it describes them as mere names you and your fathers invented. In Quran 39:3, polytheists claimed they worshipped idols to draw closer to Allah, highlighting that Allah is the true creator and that the idols are false intermediaries. Furthermore, in Quran 29:61-63, when asked about the creation of the heavens and the earth, polytheists acknowledged Allah as the creator while still worshipping idols.

Note specifically that although the goddesses were referred to as daughters of Allah by polytheists, the Quran refutes this claim, stating they were not divine but simply fabricated names.

During the conquest of Mecca in 630 CE, Muhammad pbuh destroyed the statue of Hubal and declared, Truth has come, and falsehood has vanished (17:81). If Hubal were equivalent to Allah, there would be no reason to destroy it, which demonstrates the distinction between the false idol and the true God.

The Hanifs, a group of Arabian monotheists, worshipped Allah exclusively and rejected all idols, including Hubal.

For centuries before Islam, Christian and Jewish Arabs referred to God as Allah and did not worship Hubal.

Hubal represents a physical idol, while Allah is the Creator that polytheists recognized but disrespected by falsely attributing the title of daughters to the idols.
The polytheistic Arabian religion formed the basis of Islam with the except collapsing all other idols and religions under the banner of Allah alone and Islam. Otherwise, Islam is a Taoheed of many religions that you still practice a lot of what they do like kissing the black stone, running between the two hills, practice of hajj etc.
Mohammed himself bowed to the three daughters of Allah before retracting to say it was satan that spoke to him.

honesttalk21:
Wow! WHY? Your argument shoots itself in the foot with a pretty big contradiction. You're saying that a Creator proves his messengers are legit through miracles, like with Moses and Elijah, but then you dismiss Islam for supposedly not having those same signs. That move actually undermines your whole point.

Think about that verse you mentioned, Quran 17:59. It actually says that Allah did send signs, like the she-camel to Thamud, but stopped sending more because people kept rejecting them even after seeing the miracles. It's not saying Islam has no signs; it's explaining why certain signs stopped happening. So, when you claim Islam has not one sign, you're going against the very text you're quoting.

Islamic tradition is full of miracle claims with the Quran being a linguistic miracle that no one can duplicate (2:23, 10:38, 11:13), the night journey, the splitting of the moon (54:1-2), and a bunch of other stuff in the hadith. You might not believe them, but you can't honestly say Islam doesn't claim any miracles. They're all over the place in the tradition.

Here's where your logic falls apart! You weren't around when Moses' staff turned into a snake, or when the Red Sea split, or when Elijah called down fire. You believe in those events because of written accounts, texts written way later by people you've never met. That's faith based on transmitted stories, which is exactly how Muslims believe in Muhammad pbuh's signs too.

If you accept the miracles of Moses and Elijah based on ancient writings, why do you need different proof for Muhammad pbuh's signs, when they're also written down and passed down in a similar way? Muslims trust their historical accounts just like you trust yours. Both rely on the same kind of evidence in scripture, tradition, and faith.

Your demand for hard, provable evidence is the real issue. No religious tradition can offer repeatable, lab-tested miracles for its core beliefs. You can't pull out Moses' staff or make Elijah call down fire. These are historical claims accepted on faith, not scientific proof. Expecting Islam to meet some scientific standard that your own tradition doesn't is a double standard.

Your argument proves too much. If written testimony isn't good enough for Islam's miracle claims, then it's not good enough for Judaism's or Christianity's either. If some guy named Mohammed pbuh isn't credible without seeing the signs yourself, then Moses and Elijah who were also individual prophets whose miracles you didn't witness fail the same test. If you apply your standard consistently, it tears down your own beliefs, too.

All Abrahamic faiths are built on the same thing; testimony, scripture, tradition, and faith. Muslims trust their sources just like you trust yours. The question isn't whether miracles were claimed, they clearly were in all these traditions but whether you're going to judge fairly. Your argument doesn't point out Islam's weakness; it just reveals the holes in your own reasoning.
Lame arguments of people not believing in miracles. Can you tell me the people Allah said did not believe in his miracles of she-camel to Thamud?
Contrast with the Jews and Christians who believes every miracle sent to them because it happened with witnesses.

Did Allah say he split the moon on Mohammed was copying the poem of Imru' al-Qais (d. ~550 CE), a famous pre-Islamic poet of the Mu'allaqat. Did Allah claim he split the moon?

I wasn't around when Moses split the red Sea BUT there were multiple witnesses amongst the Jews. Every miracle of God has witnesses. Only Allah and Mohammed do not have witnesses for anything miraculous. Same with Elijah, there were multiple witnesses during his time.

Your argument of claims with the Quran being a linguistic miracle that no one can duplicate is the most laughable claim you have made.

If the Qur'an is a linguistic miracle, how come you Muslims need hundreds of books to comprehend what Allah is saying in it. The book is so messed up that without external sources the Qur'an is meaningless. As a proof, Who is Israel in the Qur'an? Who is the servant that was taken to the furthest mosque by night? Which of the sons of Adam killed the other? The Qur'an is a linguistic confusion!

The Qur'an miracles are like then claim of the Yoruba that Olodumare sent a chicken to spread the earth for mankind to dwell. LOL!

honesttalk21:
These aren't twists it's your sorry misunderstandings. The moon god? That's incorrect. Hubal was linked to moon worship, but Allah is the creator of both the moon and the sun, as stated in the Quran (41:37). The sea god? Also wrong. Allah created the seas (25:53) and is not a deity of the sea. The desert god? No, Allah is a universal creator who is worshipped by Arabs as well as by pre-Islamic Christians and Jews who used the same name. You're mixing up geographical context with restrictions.
I said. Go to your historical sources and
Go check who Abdullah's fathers sacrifices were meant for. Tell me the relationship between Allah and Hubal as the sacrifice to Hubal was a sacrifice to Allah.

Thanks for sharing. You should ask the sight managers to explain how or why Lumen Learning presents conflicting information by referring to Hubal as the chief god while stating that the goddesses were associated with Allah instead of Hubal? Historically, Allah was recognized as the supreme creator, while Hubal was the main idol at the Kaaba. The polytheists referred to the goddesses as the daughters of Allah, but never as the daughters of Hubal. It's ironic that assigning divine daughters to either the supreme God or a moon idol is theologically inconsistent, and the source seems to struggle with its own unclear mythology.

honesttalk21:
Specifically answer, does Sirius have a Lord? Is Lord of Sirius the sane as Lord Sirius? Let us know If you truly understand the English language you type in.

1. Does Ahad mean one-of many? By lexicons; No, it does not. Classical Arabic dictionaries clearly differentiate Ahad from Wahid. According to Lisan al-Arab (Ibn Manzur), Ahad signifies a complete oneness that cannot be divided or viewed as plural. It is not used to refer to counted items. Taj al-ʿArus states that Ahad is only used in negation or in reference to God, indicating uniqueness and indivisibility. Lane’s Lexicon explains that Ahad represents one in essence in a way that excludes plurality in essence unlike wahid, which can mean one among many. This is why the Qur'an 112:1 uses Ahad instead of Wahid. Your assertion that Ahad always means one-of is incorrect according to lexical definitions.
Just present 5 verses of the Qur'an where Ahad means ONE apart from the fictional Qur'an 112:1



honesttalk21:
2. Is the Royal We silly? Does Allah have a council? No, the plural of majesty is a feature found in various Semitic languages. In the Hebrew Bible, God says, Let us make man (Genesis 1:26), yet Judaism remains firmly monotheistic. In Arabic, kings and rulers use We without suggesting shared authority. The Qur'an makes it clear that Allah does not have a council: He has no partner in dominion (Q 25:2). The Royal We does not imply shared authority; this is a misunderstanding.
YHWH in dealing with His Messengers never use WE or US or OURSELVES except in Creation in Gen 1:26 and then, the Jews believed in the "Two Powers of Heaven" equivalent to what we will call the Duality of God. Here God can simultaneously be in Heaven and on Earth, thus the use of US in Gen 1:26 is definitely different from the islamic royal we.
Allah is trying too hard to feel important. He doesn't need We or Us or Ourselves to be Royal or Great.

Of course, we understand from the names of Allah why
Isn't Allah the Arrogant?
Isn't Allah the Inheritor ?
Isn't Allah the subtle?
Isn't Allah the delayer?

These are all attributes of Iblis!

honesttalk21:
3. Does The Lord of Sirius is Allah mean Allah is Sirius? No, in Arabic, the phrase rabb al-X means master or creator of X, not that it identifies with X. If Lord of Sirius indicated identity, then Allah would also be considered the heavens (Q 37:5), mankind (Q 114:1), and everything else He is the rabb of. This interpretation contradicts fundamental Arabic grammar. I want you to detail your negation of this for your false claim regarding Sirius.
Is Allah is the god of the Moon?
Is Allah is the god of the Sea?
Is Allah is the god of the Desert?



honesttalk21:
4. Did pre-Islamic Arabs worship Sirius? Yes, this is supported by evidence from pre-Islamic Arab religion. The star al-Shiʿra (Sirius) was revered by tribes like Khuzaʿah, as noted by early Muslim historians such as Ibn Kathīr and al-Tabari. The Qur'an 53:49 is addressing the practice of star-worship, not endorsing it.

Particularly Ahad does not mean one-of many (as lexicons show), the Royal We does not imply a divine council, Lord of Sirius does not mean Allah is a star, and while Sirius worship did occur, the Qur'an condemns it. Your arguments are flawed linguistically, grammatically, and historically.
Just as the pre-Islamic Arabs worship the moon.
Did Allah call himself the moon-God?

This statement indicates that Allah is both the creator and the authority over Sirius, the brightest star visible at night. It highlights Allah's control over all heavenly bodies and rejects the notion of worshipping stars or other gods.

You don't expect him to throw his country under the bus for Zelensky. Hungary is not a very rich country by the way. Let rich EU members and the US continue to fund the war. I totally agree with Orban.
I agree Hungary isn't rich and they compete with Ukraine with respect to export of agricultural produce.

The problem is that Orban thinks that Hungary cannot be invaded by Russia AND the principle of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"!
Anything that will degrade Ukraine is okay with Orban.

He had been consistent with this stance since the war started. The coalition of the willing was created because of him as he actively blocked Ukraine whenever NATO or EU needed to unitedly support Ukraine.

Your answer is not supported by what you actually wrote:


The phrase Lord of Sirius (Q 53:49) criticizes the worship of stars and does not equate Allah with a star, which contradicts your interpretation. And that is he (Allah) Lord of Sirius; why you choose to misrepresent this I don't know.

In Qur'anic Arabic, "Ahad" signifies complete and indivisible oneness; your interpretation of it as one among many does not hold up in Q 112:1 or in classical dictionaries. For sake of mischief you feign amnesia about word meanings and context especially in Arabic and other Semitic language?
The use of We in royal contexts is a common Semitic expression of majesty, similar to its usage in the Bible, and does not imply plurality or dependence. Your new definition must be some new protocol and differs from the age long norm.
Regarding the Creator, the Qur'an clearly states this multiple times in example, Q 6:102; 21:30; 39:62. You can choose to refute this all you want but that remains untrue unless you want to provide same for the Christian God. Tending towards Jesus as God in the form of man will only cause you more confusion.
Repeating yourself doesn't make you suddenly correct.
Ahad is ONE-OF many except you can bring examples to clarify.

Royal We is a silly claim: Does Allah have a council through whom he rules the universe?

The Lord of Sirius is Allah.
Did the pre-islamic pagans worshipped of Sirius?
Islam › Re: Tell Why You Can't Accept Islam Personally - Mature Minds by TenQ: 8:37pm On Jan 22
honesttalk21:
Qur’an 53:49 does not refer to Allah as a star deity; instead, it refutes the idea that Sirius is divine. In Semitic language, the phrase Lord of X indicates authority over X rather than being the same as X. Even the verse you quote and choose to deliberately misread or misinterprete shows this: And that it is He (Allah) who is the Lord of Sirius. By this who is the Lord of Sirius? ? ?
For instance, if Allah were called the Lord of the heavens and the earth, it wouldn’t mean He is the sky or the ground, which is clearly illogical. Historically, Sirius (al-Shiʿra) was worshipped in pre-Islamic Arabia. The verse places the star under Allah’s authority to remove its divine status, not to assign one to it. Allah is not considered the god of Sirius in a pagan context; rather, He is the Lord of (over) Sirius. The mistake lies in confusing lordship (rububiyyah) with identity (uluhiyyah). Recognizing this distinction undermines the claim.
Sorry it is too late

Lord of Sirius is exactly like saying the Moon god or the sun-god or the sea-god.

No difference!





Don't you see the connection with Allah swearing by the stars or by the fig or by Mecca or by the Pen.

honesttalk21:
Your demand sets an unrealistic and contradictory standard. No theistic tradition demonstrates its Creator through empirical displays of power; Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and philosophy all depend on logical reasoning, and coherence. It is arbitrary to hold Islam to a different standard. Islam's assertion of Allah as the Creator is based on a non-mythical, non-composite God without images, lineage, or a pantheon aligning with Abrahamic monotheism and supported by metaphysical reasoning rather than spectacle. You provide no counter-evidence, only dismissal. If observable power is a requirement, then all forms of theism would fail equally, not just Islam. I will expect you to show otherwise.
Your last has been previously addressed.
The Creator is known by backing up His Messengers with signs impossible to recreate by humans. Thus we trust Moses and Elijah when they speak of YHWH as the Creator.

What evidence other than excuses do we have for Allah as the creator?

Quran 17:59
"And nothing prevented Us from sending the signs except that the people of old denied them. And We sent to Thamud the she-camel as a clear sign, but they wronged her. And We send not the signs except as a warning."




Allah your knowledge of Allah is based on one man called Mohammed with not one sign! SMH!

honesttalk21:
You are not upholding your initial argument; instead, you are rephrasing it. You claimed that Allah is a combination of pre-Islamic gods Hubal, As-Samad, and the Lord of Sirius. This is a historical claim that fails because there is no supporting evidence. As-Samad is not documented as a pre-Islamic deity,there are no inscriptions, cults, idols, or divine names associated with it. Moreover, there is no recognized Islamic translation or scholarly interpretation that describes As-Samad as the collection.That interpretation is a fabrication, not a proper analysis. Perhaps if you share your reference for this the root of your misunderstanding can be finally addressed. Tawhid does not refer to the unification of gods; it signifies the rejection of plurality entirely. Redefining it as syncretism distorts its true meaning. Similarly, Ahad in Qur’anic Arabic represents absolute, indivisible oneness, not one among several. Your interpretation is lexically incorrect. The use of plural divine pronouns We/Our does not prove anything. They represent the royal plural, which is common in Semitic scriptures, including the Hebrew Bible. Comparing this to Legion’s ontological plurality is a fundamental mistake. Legion means many actual beings merged into chaos. God's royal we is one sovereign using majestic language and is totally different. Additionally, ritual continuity does not equate to theological identity. The reuse of sites and practices does not mean that deities were absorbed, just as Christianity’s use of Jewish scripture does not make YHWH a collection. You made a claim about historical identity, were asked for evidence, and then shifted to metaphor. You need to provide concrete proof that As-Samad was a pre-Islamic deity or retract your statement your conscious attempt to retract is rejected.
You are repeating your position to which I have given you a clear answer. You can't force me to say what I did not explicitly state about As-Samad (collection). Go back and look at what I said.

At least, you now know that Allah is the god/lord of Sirius. It is like saying that Allah is the Moon-god

Again, Ahad is not ONE but ONE-OF. One of the tricks of the deceiver to imprison your mind

If you deny this, show me any verse with Ahad in the Qur'an that means ONE apart from the fake translation in Qur'an 112:1. Note: The word Ahad appears about 93 times in the Qur'an and EVERY TIME it connotes ONE-OF many or group/ ANY-OF etc. Ahad is always a Selection of One out of a GROUP.

Royal we!?
And you think this is wisdom!?

Royal we is ALWAYS the King AND his Cabinet. , meaning that he is NOT acting ALONE but with his council.

If Allah is using the royal we, then he depends upon his creation for his powers OR like Legion, he is many!

Have you confirmed that the daughters of Allah are the daughters of Hubal? Have you confirmed that Allah is the god/Lord of Sirius? These have serious implications. Have you confirmed that Taoheed is UNIFICATION?

Sorry. No amount of struggles will make Islam of God the Creator.

I am still waiting for any evidence that Allah is the Creator!

Even if you appear tranced into a state of drunken confusion let me break and reply your statements one by one perharps you will gain staying clarity.

Al-Lat, al-Uzza, and Manat were goddesses in paganism, but they were not considered daughters of Hubal, and the Qur’an clearly denies that they were daughters of Allah. Specifically you know Allah does not beget nor is begotten.🤔
Even before Islam, Allah was recognized by pagans as the supreme Creator, while Hubal was simply a statue used for fortune-telling. Mixing up Allah with Hubal is a fundamental misunderstanding. The Creator cannot be compared to a stone idol. In Islam, the essence of sacrifice lies in intention, and any sacrifice made to an idol is considered shirk, not true worship of Allah. Referring to Allah while worshipping idols indicates a distortion of monotheism rather than its preservation.
Google AI is your friend

You will note that the daughters of Hubal are the daughters of Allah. Hubal is the visible idol representing Allah. This is why a sacrifice to Hubal was a sacrifice to Allah

Your argument is flawed due to historical and logical inaccuracies. Kun fayakun refers to a cause rather than a redefinition or mechanism; a command is not the same as a process. There is no evidence to support the idea that Allah was Hubal; Hubal was an idol, while Allah was recognized as being above idols even before Islam was finalised by prophet Muhammad pbuh, including by pagans.
Tell me, what are the names of the three daughters of Hubal? How come a sacrifice to Hubal is a sacrifice to Allah?


honesttalk21:
The term As-Samad does not appear as a name for a deity in any pre-Islamic sources; provide a reference or retract that claim.
I didn't claim that As-Samad is a pre-islamic deity. I said it is a collection where you find everything. This was why I reminded you of the meaning of Taoheed meaning UNIFICATION.
Islam is a unification of Deities and Religions.

Every deity and religion a man could look for is in the As-Samad: the one stop shop for religion. Look no further if you want to kiss the black stone or to perform hajj or to run between Safa and Marwa. Islam even incorporated the God of the Jews and Christians, copied as much as you wanted.

Do you now see the link between Taoheed (UNIFICATION) and Ahad (ONE-OF several)

Otherwise, tell me why Allah often use indiscriminately pronouns of WE or OUR or US. It reminds me of Legion speaking through the demonised man at gadarene

Mark 5:2-9:
"And as soon as He had left the ship, there met Him from out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one had the power to restrain him even with chains; For he had often been bound with fetters and chains, but the chains had been torn to pieces by him, and the fetters had been shattered; and no one had the strength to subdue him. And continually, night and day, in the mountains and in the tombs, he was screaming and cutting himself with stones. But when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped Him. And crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have I to do with You , Jesus, Son of God the Most High? I adjure You by God, do not torment me.” For He was saying to it, “Unclean spirit, come out of the man.” And He asked it, “What is your name?” And it answered, “ My name is Legion, because we are many.”"


Just like Allah, see the changes in pronouns!

As for evidence of Allah as the Creator, Islam maintains continuity with the concept of a singular, uncreated God of Abraham, there is no image, genealogy, or pantheon involved.

Your analogy is flawed because it mixes up cause and process. Be refers to divine command that is the cause, while clay, sperm, and clot represent stages and methods which is the process. Stating that I commanded the house to exist and that it was constructed with materials is not contradictory; it’s a more nuanced explanation. Only someone who interprets literally would see a conflict. Regarding the Spirit, the Qur’an clearly states that its nature is beyond human understanding (17:85). Limited knowledge does not equal ignorance. Lastly, I should follow your attitude from the discussion about the Trinity and indeed you only show your poiition based on misconception. The Qur’an does not provide a definition of the Trinity; it outright rejects the idea of divine plurality. Rejection is not the same as misdefinition. Having multiple descriptions does not imply contradiction, and making category errors does not demonstrate ignorance.
The command Kunfayakun has to be redefined to be other than what it is supposed to be!?


No wonder, there exist no iota of evidence that Allah is the Creator other than he is aka
Hubal,
As-Samad (the collection) and

You are confusing the use of different descriptions with contradictions. The Qur'an doesn't present conflicting accounts of human origins; rather, it offers various levels of explanation: Be represents a divine command (the cause), clay or mud refers to our material beginnings, sperm or clot describes the biological process, and two hands signifies honor rather than anatomical details. Similarly, the mention of the Spirit is intentionally restricted in its explanation (Qur'an 17:85), which should not be interpreted as being undefined. Limiting information does not imply a lack of knowledge. The real misunderstanding comes from interpreting the layered, non-technical Semitic language as if it were a precise scientific manual.
I claimed I built my house with the command BE and the House came to be
LATER
I claimed I bought cement bags, moulded blocks and hired a bricklayer to build the same house.


And according to islamic logic, this is not a contradiction!?

You want me to correct Allah's definition of Trinity for you to say because Allah is wrong he could not have been defining the Trinity!?
Sorry! You will not get the opportunity from me.

Allah cannot even define correctly the Spirit how much more the Trinity.

Sorry!

It is not the first time Allah's ignorance is made manifest in the Qur'an. Example, let's ask Allah how man was created
1. He was created by BE!
2. He was created with Allah's two hands
3. He was created from mud and even clay
4. He was created from emissions
5. He was created from Sperm-Drop
6. Man was created from a clot

The Qur'an is simply a comedy of errors

Quran 4:82:
"Then do they not reflect upon the Quran? If it had been from [any] other than Allah, they would have found within it much contradiction."

This objection misses the mark in terms of methodology rather than wording. The Qur'an does not claim to represent the views of the majority of Christians, nor does it need to reference specific sects to make a valid critique. It focuses on theological assertions, their implications, and practices, rather than on how different denominations describe themselves. Requiring majority opinions or formal sect names is a contemporary apologetic standard that has been wrongly applied to a 7th-century Semitic text that is polemical in nature.

Your comparison to Shia or Akhbari beliefs is flawed as the Qur'an does not treat fringe theology as mainstream orthodoxy; it challenges claims about God, regardless of how widely accepted or formally recognized they may be. In prophetic discourse, truth and falsehood are not determined by majority consensus.

Regarding your numbered questions, points 1 to 4 are not relevant. The Qur'an's objection is not that Christians verbally deny the oneness of God, but rather that concepts like the Trinity, divine sonship, and shared divinity contradict that oneness at a conceptual level. One can assert that God is one while still violating the principle of absolute monotheism.

As for the identity of Allah in this context, it refers to anyone who attributes divinity, partners, persons, or divine mediation alongside God whether through doctrine, worship, or implication. Identifying specific sects is unnecessary because the focus is on the idea itself, not the label.

Describing this as an incomplete narrative misinterprets the genre of the text. The Qur'an is not an ethnographic study of Christian sects; it is a theological refutation. The perceived incompleteness lies not within the Qur'an but in an argument that confuses prophetic critique with a demographic survey.

To appropriately effect your arguments respond if indeed you don't ignore not to expose your lies and hypocrisy:



Rephrase in whichever manner to restate issues already answered however you wish. I will not accommodate any of that or allow diversion away from the core.

The Qur’an doesn’t misrepresent the Trinity; instead, it outright rejects the whole idea of divine plurality. Calling that clueless mixes up a denial of theology with a simple misunderstanding. Define the trinity if you really want to show how the Quran hasn't addressed it!
Sorry!

All you have said is that
1. Allah is a bad communicator and it requires you to say exactly what Allah intend to say.
2. Allah cannot be taken by his words because he seldom mean exactly what he says and it requires you to explain exactly what Allah meant to say


Are you really better in explaining Allah's words than Allah and his prophet?


What I have learnt from this is that without faithful Muslims, Allah's words are like the babblings of a toddler and we need expert Muslims to make the words legible to any normal person.

I can understand if you don't understand Trinity as YHWH is unlikely Anything in Creation BUT I expect Allah to understand Trinity which leads to two conclusions
1. Allah is truly ignorant of the Christians belief and doctrines
2. Allah is being deceptive by creating strawman easy for him to deal with. Allah is the best in deception, the Al-Makr himself.

Taoheed is extremely easy to comprehend because it is very similar to the Taoheed of Iblis. Allah can only be in one location at a time just as Iblis. Eight mountain goats (angels) carry the throne of Allah. Allah cannot even enter his creation even if he wanted to. I agree, Taoheed is easy to understand therefore, it must be true! SMH!?

It is of no wonder that Allah gives lame excuses all about the Qur'an.

I am sure you will agree with me that it is impossible to explain any concept to a person who is not ready to accept the TRUTH.
Unfortunately , the problems of Muslims are three folds
1. Muslims do NOT care about the Truth
2. Muslims do not ask RELEVANT Questions about Religion
3. They Equate BLIND faith with Faith in Mohammed with Faith in God


Thus, like someone with fake sack of currency notes they think they are rich not knowing that they are extremely poor.

No, that’s precisely the mistake you’re making, not the Qur’an. Islam, similar to Christianity, differentiates between the core teachings of the religion and the claims of certain groups. The beliefs of Akhbaris or some Shia factions do not represent the entirety of Islam, just as fringe Christian sects do not define Christianity. The Qur’an addresses specific doctrines and practices rather than identities based on association. Your argument is a composition fallacy, and attributing it to Allah doesn’t make it correct.
Good! Meaning that Allah used the wrong words to say what you think he wants to say OR these are strawman statements from Allah.

So, just as you wouldn't want me to generalize fringe Muslim sects such as the Shia wrt Mutah and Akhbaris wrt corruption of the Qur'an to represent Muslims and Islam, it is only right for you not to think that those verses refer to Christians.
WHY?
*Even though no Christian sect hold the Qur'an position, we can still ask the following questions*
1. Does the Majority of Christians take Mary as god besides God?
2. Does the majority of Christians say God is the third of Three?
3. Does the majority of Christians say Jesus and Mary are gods beside God?
4. Does the majority of Christians deny that God is ONE?



The question then is, who is Allah referring to in the three verses here? What is/are the names of the sects as certainly these are not what Christians believe.

Without proper identification, the Qur'an is at best an incomplete narrative

The only thing you have been exposing is ur ass

When you hold these beliefs
Father(Jesus's God) is God, Jesus is God, Holy spirit is God
Jesus is not the father, Jesus is not the holy spirit and the holy spirit is not the father
The only logical conclusion is there are 3 Gods and Jesus's God is 3rd of a three.

If that is not your conclusion, then you will have to explain to us how you reach another conclusion. If you can't, just tell us u can't and play the mystery card, don't waste my time.

If you are praying to a created being like the one I shared with you earlier, you are indirectly taking them as god besides God, I don't know you still need explanation regarding that or what's your own honest opinion about the Christians that pray to Mary?
My questions to you were very simple and answering it exposes the truth.
It's just three questions please



Can you explain by answering these questions that seem to show that Allah doesn't understand what he is speaking about?

Question 1. From Quran 5:73
Can you please show that Christians say God is the third of Three? Is it TRUE that Christians say God is the third of Three?



Question 2. From Qur'an 5:116
Can you please show that Christians say Jesus and Mary are gods beside God?. Is it TRUE that Christians say Jesus and Mary are gods beside God?


Question 3. From Quran 4:171
a. What exactly do the Christians call THREE according to Allah which we are expected to desist from saying as Christians? Is this three the same as TRINITY?

b. Do you know any Christian who deny that God is ONE?



As usual, I can trust that you will go at tangent to avoid answering the direct questions.

Because the problems of Muslims are three folds
1. Muslims do NOT care about the Truth
2. Muslims do not ask RELEVANT Questions about Religion
3. They Equate BLIND faith with Faith in Mohammed with Faith in God

No matter how many times you state, your analogy regarding the Akhbari perspective is flawed because the Qur’an is not simply a human document categorizing different sects; it addresses issues in a normative and polemical manner, similar to the Bible, which references groups like the Jews and “the Christians without acknowledging every minority amongst them. The lack of the word some does not mean all and that is a linguistic error, not a problem with the text itself. Regarding Q 5:116, this verse serves as a rhetorical condemnation rather than a demographic survey. It criticizes any Christian practice that places Jesus or Mary in divine positions, a practice that has historically existed and continues to function today in such forms as in prayer and intercession. Your assertion that Allah refers to all Christians is your interpretation, not what the text states. In reference to Q 4:171 and Q 5:73, the term three indeed pertains to the concept of the Trinity. The Qur’an rejects this idea without using the specific terminology, as it critiques the concept rather than validating the label. Not reflecting Christian self-definitions is not a sign of ignorance; it is a theological rejection. You did not uncover a new truth; rather, you acknowledged that the Qur’an adequately addresses the Trinity, which is precisely what Muslims have maintained from the beginning.
Using your argument

Since the Akhbaris are Muslims, then it is suffice to say that Muslims agree that their Qur'an is corrupted.
AND
Since the Shia are Muslims, then it is suffice to say that Muslims agree that it is lawful for them to do Mutah (halal prostitution).

This is how you think Allah reason!

You are very loud mouthed about how Allah is ignorant of your man made doctrine but to explain how your God is not 3 now becomes a problem. You know if you attempt ur ass will be exposed badly.

Trust me there is nothing to understand in a false doctrine like trinity. It is just polytheism forcefully clothed in the garment of monotheism.

At some point you will have to face the truth and accept that you guys worship 3 gods
You believe the Father(Jesus's God), Jesus himself, and Holy spirit are all Gods
How is that not a belief that Jesus's God is 3rd of a three?
All I did was to expose the lies Allah told in three verses and nowhere did I explain the Trinity to you.
If Allah doesn't even understand the Christian doctrine, how can I expect you to understand anything of the Trinity.

Whatever simulation that has you answer for another like you now have powers to know exactly how another thinks and responds is nothing other than chronic insanity!.

Your analogy regarding the Akhbari perspective is valid and actually weakens your argument. The Qur'an, similar to the Bible, critiques beliefs as they are understood, practiced, and logically derived, rather than just addressing refined theological statements. For instance, Q 5:73 (third of three) challenges the implications of the Trinity. If the Father, Son, and Spirit are all fully God, then that implies there are three distinct Gods, regardless of how Christians prefer to phrase it. The Qur'an is addressing the nature of being, not merely quoting a doctrine.
A knowledgeable person will say
"The Akhbaris believe that the extant Qur'an is corrupted"
An Ignorant person will say
"The Muslims believe that the extant Qur'an is corrupted"

The author of the Qur'an should know better as he FAILED to give us the Identity of the Christian group he speaks about.

It's an undefendable shame.



honesttalk21:
Furthermore, Q 5:116 does not claim that all Christians worship Mary; it condemns the practice of elevating humans to divine roles, such as in prayer, intercession, or divine titles, which has historically occurred and continues to exist. Referring to Jesus as God beside God is a valid critique, suggesting the existence of a second divine figure alongside the Father. Q 4:171 (do not say three) clearly rejects the idea of a tri-personal God. While saying God is one essence is true, it does not negate the Christian teaching of three distinct divine persons, a concept that was not taught by any prophet prior to Jesus or even Jesus himself.

In conclusion, this is not a matter of ignorance or hearsay; it is a significant rejection of the metaphysical views that developed after the biblical texts. You may disagree with the critique, but labeling it as a straw man is flawed both logically and historically.
1. I want to believe that Allah speaks perfect Arabic and he is extremely knowledgeable to know that he can say "some Christians" rather than "Christians" when he meant a subset of Christians in Qur'an 5:116

How do you know that Allah does not claim that all Christians worship Mary but some of the Christians?



2. So, you now admit that Allah was speaking about Trinity when he said THREE in Qur'an 4:171 or Quran 5:73!?

Remember where we started!

In all this irrelevance you don't show where Allah in the Quran defines the trinity as you claim as God, Jesus and Mary. The credibility of your statements is at stake here.

What exactly do you mean by no Christian group believe God is the third of 3 when that's exactly what you Trinitarians believe

There are several places in the NT where Jesus identifies Father as his God, And according to the trinity the Father is not the Son and the son is not the Father.

We know you guys worship 3 gods so you can just quit this hide and seek. because I don't understand if the Father is God, the son is God and the spirit is God and they are not each other that is solid three Gods. You will have to explain to us how that is not 3 Gods before you start accusing Allah of not knowing your doctrine.
Your straw man highlighted as without it, you have no argument. I can understand if you don't understand Trinity however, I find it amusing that Allah himself is worse off than you in understanding of Trinity! LOL

I have highlighted the errors of the verses to you without even asking about trinity as lies will come out of you as expected of true Muslims.

The grand truth is that Allah was definitely misinformed about what Christians believe. None of what he stated in the verses is what Christians believe. The truth is bitter and you can thrash about as much as you like as it changes nothing

Qasim6:
Maybe you are not aware, we don't believe the prophet is all hearing in such a way that he would hear all our salawat directly.

The Prophet is reported to have said:
​"Indeed, Allah has angels who travel around the earth, conveying to me the Salaam of my Ummah."

In another authentic hadith:
"Your blessings will be conveyed to me." When asked how this is possible after death, he explained that Allah has forbidden the earth from consuming the bodies of the Prophets."

This implies the Prophet does not have the attributes of all hearing where he would hear every voice in the world like a god or something but relies on angels sent by Allah to bring the blessings to him.
If your prophet cannot hear you because he is dead and in his grave (not even yet in paradise), why do you direct part of the Tashahud to him.

Are you praying to the corpse of Mohammed?

As-salamu alayka ayyuha-n-nabiyyu wa rahmatu-llahi wa barakatuhu
Peace be upon you, O Prophet , and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.

The Question is:
Is the prophet with you for you to say "Peace be upon YOU"?
Secondly, since all over the world, you repeat this same prayer, it means Mohammed from his grave hears you.

The argument of angels carrying the prayers to Mohammed doesn't hold as angels also carry your prayers to Allah


Qasim6:
Now compare that to this elaborate prayer offer to Mary

O Mary, you shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope.
We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick.
At the foot of the Cross you participated in Jesus’ pain, with steadfast faith. You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need.
We are certain that you will provide, so that,
as you did at Cana of Galilee, joy and feasting might return after this moment of trial.
Help us, Mother of Divine Love,
to conform ourselves to the Father’s will
and to do what Jesus tells us:
He who took our sufferings upon Himself, and bore our sorrows to bring us through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection. Amen.

We seek refuge under your protection, O Holy Mother of God. Do not despise our pleas – we who are put to the test – and deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin.


Is this comparable to sending salawat to the Prophet? Or what exactly are you talking about?
So lame an argument.
1. If others pray to human beings does it in any way justify why Muslims following Islam would pray to Mohammed as they do to Allah?
2. All Muslims without exception pray to Mohammed through the Tashahud isn't it? Do all who claim to be Christians pray to Mary?
Your argument is like me claiming that Muslims practice Mutah just as you have said that Christians pray to Mary.!


Sorry, as long as you Muslims without exception pray to Mohammed through the Tashahud and you associate both the knowledge and name of Allah with Mohammed , you have no case.


It is no wonder that Allah and his Angels also pray upon Mohammed. So, what is strange in you Muslims also praying to Mohammed

Qur'an 33:56
"Indeed, Allah and His angels PRAYS (yusallūna) upon the Prophet..."


Quran 33:43
He (Allah) is the One who PRAYS ("yusallūna" (يُصَلُّونَ)) upon you, and His angels [also], that He may bring you out from the darknesses into the light. And He is ever Merciful to the believers.




So, tell me, what can be worse than the whole of existence including Allah praying upon one man called Mohammed?
