How Qur’an is Wrong and Bible is Right ?
The Muslim claims the Qur’an was written in Arabic, which they claim is the language of heaven on a stone tablet in heaven having no human author. However we find the Qur’an is not written in 100% Arabic but has some Hebrew, Persian and even Greek words. If Arabic is the language of heaven and the Qur’an was dictated perfectly why does the Qur’an contains foreign words that are Hebrew, Greek and Persian. This contradiction should be evident to all. How can Mohammed have had this done in all there languages? Are all three spoken in heaven?
Mohammed is considered a universal prophet yet he has communicated to us in Arabic. The only miracle he has done is writing the Qur’an which can be understood only by those who speak Arabic. But if you don’t speak it you must believe the miracle that he is the prophet to the whole world anyway. They want to convert the whole world to speak Arabic because that is the Holy language. How can God, who is to speak to all people through his prophet, restrict himself to one particular language? They claim God spoke to Mohammed in the language of his people only and that no one else can understand because they claim Arabic the language of heaven! In contrast Jesus’ commission commands that God’s message be communicated to every persons culture and in their own languages. In other words we are to bring God’s message to them not them to God’s message.
If we are to accept the Qur’an as an inspired message than it must pass the test that the previous books did. First it must be in agreement with the former revelation of holy writings because they supposedly came from the same source that is the one God. Just as in the Old Testament. they tested a prophet by the standard of the scripture if they spoke in harmony with the word of God and the former prophets. Since the Qur’an comes 500 years after, it too must comply with the tested words of scripture. If we are to accept the Muslims argument of the Bible being corrupted this means God could not preserve His Word. If He failed to do this for the Bible what makes one think he would not fail to do this for the Qur’an? There are no guarantees. If a Muslim rejects the Bible he must also reject the Qur’an because Mohammed appeals to the Bible as an authority. If he accepts the Bible he must then reject the Qur’an, because of the contradictory stories that challenge essential eternal truths.
How can a Muslim really know the Bible is corrupted, what do they have to compare it to? How did Mohammad know this if he could not read or write and did not possess a Bible in Arabic? The answer of the Qur’an being accepted as absolutely true because Mohammad said so is unacceptable. As the God of the Bible consistently asks the seeker to test and to prove what he says to see if it is true. So He invites our inquiry, He does not discourage it.
While the Muslim is more than willing to debate whether the Bible and Christianity is true, a non Muslim does not have the same freedom to criticize their Quranic literature. This is considered an affront to the Muslim to question their holy book. As Christians we are not afraid of someone questioning the validity of scripture since we feel they will stand the scrutiny of any skeptic many of whom have become believers in the process. Others outside Islam are not afforded this opportunity. Especially in a nation that may be Muslim. Mohammed lived in 600 A-D. Today we have whole manuscripts going back to 300 A.D. which is 300 years before he was born.
What the Muslim will say -Mohammed was not referring to the New Testament, but to the Torah. Because it is said of Christians, “ they forgot a good part of the message that was sent them” (Sura 5:15).
They believe the Qur’an was verbally dictated by the angel Gabriel which are based on eternal tablets that are in heaven. If the Qur’an is eternal and God is eternal then we have two eternals, Islam does not believe there are two but only one eternal, that is God.
Naturally if there is a conflict it must be in the Bible and not their own book. When one looks at history we find a majority of religion’s that have been started from angel’s, Islam is no exception to this. Angels have always been involved in bringing revelation to mankind. They have also been involved in bringing false information. Can the same angel say two different things on the same subject and they both be true? Obviously not, yet this is exactly what has transpired in the Qur’an. There is something else operating here that proves it is not the angel Gabriel as they claim.
In their own Suras (chapter’s) it states that God’s word cannot change so if an angel several hundreds of years later comes with a different story, which one are we suppose to believe? Take for example the angel Gabriel’s announcement of the Christ to Mary, he told her he would be called the Son of God (which means having the same nature as God) Luke 1:35 also in Matthew 1:23 he would be called Emmanuel, “ God with us.” This is the same angel that told Mohammed that God has no son, and that God is unable to human form
What we need to understand is that Mohammed had no Bible available in his native tongue, there was no Arabic translation until at least 200 years after he lived. So how did he know about the Bible? How could he say it was corrupted if he could not read it? (Remember he is illiterate).
The Qur’an states, “We have sent down to thee the book (Qur’an) with the truth, confirming the book (Bible) that was before it and assuring it. I agree that it should confirm the book preceding it, so let’s compare the Qur’an with the Bible.
In the Genesis account referred to in the Qur’an we have contradictions to the Biblical record. Sura 41:9-10,12 says in 2 days God created the earth: 41:9 “Who created the earth in two Days? 41:12 “So He completed them as seven firmaments in two Days, and He assigned to each heaven its duty and command.” It took God 4 days to sculpt and form the mountains and the rivers, and then in 2 days he turned and finished the heavens. The Qur’an is self contradictory on this. What they do is add it up, so it states God took 8 days to create the world, this is a calculation of 4 days + 2 days + 2 days=8 days. Gen.1:31 says it took 6 days and God rested from his work on the seventh day (the God of the Bible that is). The Muslims answer is there is corruption on the part of the Bible. However there is no evidence of this in the Hebrew text or history, we still have the order of 7 days a week. This creation event is referred to in numerous other passages in the Bible Ex.20:11 God repeats that the world was created in 6 days and rested the 7th, He gives the nation of Israel the Sabbath as a covenant to commemorate this event. It states on the 7th day they too are to rest. The Quran has very little to say about the Sabbath except to bring guilt upon the Jews. 2:65 And well ye knew those amongst you who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath: We said to them: “Be ye apes, despised and rejected” (also 4:154; 7:163; 16:124). To sum this teaching up when we look at all the information it becomes quite confusing. The Qur’an also states Allah created everything “in the twinkling of an eye” Sura 54:49,50, “Who created the earth in two Days” 41:9,12, “in four Days” 41:10, “who created the heavens and the earth in six days” 7:54; 10:4,32:4. 57:4 “He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in Six Days.” Sura 50:38 “We created the heavens and the earth and all between them in Six Days” (whose the “we”? I thought God is one)
What makes the Qur’an an enigma is that it is called a perfect revelation. The Qur’an also contradicts itself; “a Day,” is equal to “a thousand years” 32:5 and it is also “fifty thousand years” 70:4. Yet if one looks at Sura 7:51 and 10:3 it agrees with the biblical account of 6 days the world was created. So there is not only a contradiction with the Qur’an and the Bible, but three passages in their own book as well. Muslims instead of facing the inconsistency will usually do mathematical gymnastics. Adding 4+2+2 and come up with 6 instead of 8, the reason is 4 is divisible by 2 and so 4 is really 2, but the Arabic says 4 days +2 +2.
In Sura 11 one of Noah’s son was drowned in the waters “So the Ark floated with them on the waves (towering) like mountains, and Noah called out to his son, who had separated himself (from the rest): “O my son! embark with us, and be not with the unbelievers!” (11:42). Not only does this contradict the Bibles account but the Qur’an contradicts itself. The son replied: “I will betake myself to some mountain: it will save me from the water.” … “And the waves came between them, and the son was among those overwhelmed in the Flood.,… . The Ark rested on Mount Judi, and the word went forth: “Away with those who do wrong!” And Noah called upon his Lord, and said: “O my Lord! surely my son is of my family! and Thy promise is true, and Thou art the justest of Judges!” He said: “O Noah! He is not of thy family: For his conduct is unrighteous. So ask not of Me that of which thou hast no knowledge! I give thee counsel, lest thou act like the ignorant!”
Did the ark land on mount Judi? did any of Noah’s family drown in the flood? Genesis 7:13 “On the very same day Noah and Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark. Genesis 9:18-19 “Now the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham was the father of Canaan. These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.”
The Bible record is clear those who went into the ark all came out alive, (they were locked in) none were lost. If his whole family was saved then one of his sons could not have drowned.
There is also another discrepancy, in Sura 11:40 “At length, behold! there came Our command, and the fountains of the earth gushed forth! We said: “Embark therein, of each kind two, male and female, and your family ...”
The Bible does not say two of each kind only. Gen. 7:2 “You shall take with you seven each of every clean animal, a male and his female” it then says “two each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female.” V. 9 “two by two they went into the ark to Noah, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.”
You may think this is splitting hairs, but the Lord is very specific and so is the record handed down to us. The Bible is not wrong.
In Sura 19:10 it states Zacharias is speechless for only three days, while the Bible states it lasted the entire nine months of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, until John was born.
In Sura 19:22 we are told Mary gave birth under a palm tree. The Bible says in a stable, with animals (Lk.2:1-20) which were actually in the caves in the cliff back then. Mohammed also confused the Mary who is the mother of Jesus with the Mary who is the sister of Moses and Aaron and the daughter of Imran, attributing Jesus birth to her. (Sura 19:28) The two Mary’s lived over1,500 years apart (Suras 18:28; 66:12; and 20:25-30). This and other passages show that Mohammed lacked understanding of basic Bible history.
They claim Abraham was the first to believe, Sura 6:14 but in Sura 7:143 they say it was Moses.
The Qur’an states the Abraham and Nimrod were enemies, Nimrod cast Abraham into a fire but he came safely out. These two people are separated by a thousand years according to the Bible
Now this verse of the Qur’an is the turn around. If God sent Jesus to confirm the Torah (The first five books of the Bible’s Old Testament), then the Torah of Jesus’ time are what the people read and Jesus quoted from. Jesus confirms that it was the same Torah God gave to Moses. In fact, it is proven that it is the same one we have today. The Dead Sea Scrolls prove that what we have today is what they were reading in their time. The arguments made are not factual but are founded on prejudice against Christianity and preference for Islam. One needs to be open and do their homework to see the conflicts.
This Concludes that Qur’an is absolutely wrong and Bible is absolutely right
