I am really lazy to write those stuff again. This is my page. i will send you the link of posts and answer those questions that i have written there (those posts answer your statements very clearly) :


 Some christians don't dare to read those posts when i send them, because they are afraid i might be right. And yet, they claim that they are seeking knowledge. Read those posts, (sadly i dont have them saved in word, otherwise i would just send them as one) and you can comment there your answers or even here. Those posts are made with deep research and logic. Simple logic and sense. If you think religion can't be logical and make sense, you haven't known islam. Islam is logical and makes sense. Trinity doesn't make sense ( at least read first two posts about logical arguments about trinity). some christians say it is wisdom of God. No. trinity is nature of God. Nature of God is explicit in every religions and should be clear. wisdom of God is how God handles affairs in universe. Wisdom of God can be mysterious. Nature of God, can't.

3. The first Muslim was Muhammad?  Abraham?  Jacob? Moses?
  •  First ever muslim was Adam (As).
  • verses you said, there first to believe means ,,before preaching my message to you and tell you to submit to Allah, i should give example and should be first one among you to submit Allah". Even by reading it, you get same idea. unless you really want to say something against, you should have no problem understanding those verses like this. 
4. Does Allah forgive or not forgive those who worship false gods?
  •  Allah forgive every sin during lifetime of person but if person dies worshipping false gods, he won't be forgiven. 
  • about this verse (4:153), there is whole chapter, the story in Quran and if you have really read it, you wouldn't ask that question. you can read full story in 7th chapter. Al-A'raf 7:148 - After Moses had gone to meet with his Lord, his people took to worshipping a statue of a calf made from their ornaments, not possessing any soul, but which made a sound. Did they not know that this calf could not speak to them or guide them to any good way, material or spiritual, and that it could not bring anything of benefit to them or remove anything harmful from them? But they took to worshipping it and wronged themselves by doing so. - Abridged Explanation of the Quran. Al-A'raf 7:150-Moses returned to his people from his meeting with His Lord full of anger and sadness upon finding them worshipping the calf. He said: 'What an evil condition you have fallen into after me O people, which leads only to ruin and misery! Were you tired of waiting for the appointed time of your Lord assigned for me – the forty nights – so you started to worship the calf!' Moses threw the Tablets down because of his extreme anger and sadness, and took his brother Aaron by the head and beard and dragged him, because he had been with them and had not been able to stop them from worshipping the calf. Aaron said to his brother Moses: 'O son of my mother, indeed the people considered me to be weak, not respecting me, and they had almost killed me; so do not punish me in a way that would make my enemies rejoice, and do not to include me out of your anger among the people who had done wrong by worshipping other than Allah.'

    - Abridged Explanation of the Quran.

  • All happened on earth, while they were alive.

  • 7:153 - But those who commit evil, then repent and become ˹true˺ believers, your Lord will certainly be All-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.
  • It was narrated that Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri said: “The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: ‘If a person accepts Islam, such that his Islam is good, Allah will decree reward for every good deed that he did before, and every bad deed that he did before will be erased. Then after that will come the reckoning; each good deed will be rewarded ten times up to seven hundred times. And each bad deed will be recorded as it is, unless Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, forgives it.'” [Sunan an-Nasa’i]
  • The Qur'an considers shirk as a sin that will not be forgiven if a person dies without repenting of it.
5. Are Allah's decrees changed or not?
  • The context of the verses are that Allah's word and laws doesn't change even if person changes the scripture. But you shouldn't mess it up with will of Allah. 2:106- Allah makes it clear that whenever He removes the ruling of a verse or some words from the Qur’ān, so that people forget them, He replaces them with something more beneficial for the immediate moment or for later, or with what is similar. Such cases occur because of Allah’s wisdom and knowledge. You know, O Prophet, that Allah has power over all things. He does as He wills, and rules as He wishes.— Abridged Explanation of the Quran. 16:101 - When We abrogate the ruling of one verse of the Qur’ān with another verse - and Allah knows well about the part of the Qur’ān that is abrogated for a reason and the part that is not abrogated - they say: You, O Muhammad, are only a liar making up things about Allah. Rather, most of them do not know that abrogation occurs for a divine reason with far-reaching wisdom.

6.Was Pharaoh killed or not killed by drowning?
  • even by the context of verses, you clearly can read that Pharaoh was drowned and killed. but his soulless body was kept so that it would be sign for generations to come. easy peasy.
7. Is wine consumption good or bad?
  • wine which is on earth is intoxicant, thus consumption is bad. Which will be in heaven, will be so pure that it wont have any intoxicant.
  • Truly the Righteous will be in Bliss: On Thrones (of Dignity) will they command a sight (of all things): Thou wilt recognize in their faces the beaming brightness of Bliss. Their thirst will be slaked with Pure Wine sealed," (83:22-25).
  • 52:23 - They will give to one another cups of wine, bearing no resemeblness to the wine of this world, free from intoxication and that which arises from it, such as false speech.

    — Abridged Explanation of the Quran

  • Al-Mutaffifin 83:25 - They will be given a drink of sealed, pure wine,

    - Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

  • Al-Waqi'ah 56:19 - that will cause them neither headache nor intoxication.

    — Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

  • 56:19- It is not like the wine of the world; it’s drinkers will not get headaches nor suffer intoxication.

    — Abridged Explanation of the Quran

I can easily say that you read Quran with biased mind and ignored many verses. Didn't even try to look for explanation of verses. I even doubt that you read Quran fully. Bible has serious contradictions. See this paper, called ,,101 contradictions of Bible" : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-b5NFCAMMiRFPmxCdlk7Iguqm2EXJkm6/view?usp=sharing. Those contradiction are so severe that you can't explain in any way even by reading commentaries and explanation. May Allah guide you to straight path. Ameen

That is the reason that a French Doctor Dr. Mauries Bokyle once wrote the his famous and best selling book "The Quran Bible and Science" he first learned Arabic for almost 13 years and then claimed that Quran does not even contain a single verse which contradicts the modren science. He wrote this book as a christian and I don't know whether he is still a Christian or not.

�(It is) a Book We have revealed to you is full of blessing that they may ponder over its revelations, and that those endowed with wisdom may seek advice�.38:29

These are verses of the Book of Wisdom� 31:2

Swearing by the Quran full of wisdom  36:2

 1. What was man created from, blood, clay, dust, or nothing?

 If I say tea is prepared of water. Then I say tea is prepared from milk and then I say that tea is prepared from the tea leaves which statement is wrong? Of course all are true.

�Man was created from nothing�. This is to refute the Darwin theory that man has evolved. No sir man was created from nowhere because there was no specie existing with the name of man. So once man was created for the first time he was created from nowhere.

The body of man was created from clay�. Dust is not right because clay is actually dust mixed with water. So Adam was the first creation from clay and then God spelled his soul in his body and he became human.

Man was created from blood is not correct�. The Arabic word is �ALAKA� �clot like substance resembling leech� and we don�t have appropriate word for Alaka so we use the word clot of blood which is nearest. You can refer to Prof Keithal Moore a Thai Prof of embryology who says �How could Muhammad seen this in the womb and its only in 1970,s that we exactly discovered the same.� He admits that only a divine revelation can say this. So once man is in mother�s womb he is created or developed from a zygote which resembles a leech which can be confirmed from medical books.

2.  Is there or is there not compulsion in religion according to the Qur'an?

There is no compulsion in religion. The sura which you have mentioned is 9 known as Tooba or Repentance. The first few verses were revealed once the non Muslim tribes had broken down the pact with Muslims of Medina. So it was a announcement of war for those who had broken the pact. Today this also holds good for all those who will not honour the pact and not for all non-Muslims. The exception can be seen in the same Sura in verse 6, �And if one of the idolaters seek protection from you, grant him protection till he hears the word of Allah, then escort him to a place of safety; this is because they are a people who do not know�.  So these verses can not generally hold good for all non muslims but for only those who had broken a pact or have intentionally violated it. And anyone who is party to it and seeks for protection his treatment is given in the verse 6 of the same Sura. And nowhere Quran says convert someone forcibly.

3.  The first Muslim was Muhammad?  Abraham?  Jacob? Moses?

Every Prophet is supposed to be the first Muslim in his nation. Adam was first Muslim as a Human, Abraham was the first Muslim in his nation, Moses in his and Muhammad was in his nation that is the Arabs initially and the rest of the world later. Once the last priest believing in Oneness of God died in Syria died Muhammad was given the Prophet hood. Hazrat Salaman Farsi who came from Persia fed up with the idol and fir worship he kept on going from one priest to another until the last and forth one told him that after my death there is none who believe in one God and so you should go to Arabia where the Prophet is expected to appear. 

 4.  Does Allah forgive or not forgive those who worship false gods?    

Allah does not forgive the sin of associating partners with Him until and unless one seeks for forgiveness and mercy. You have to follow the complete incident of Moses coming back from the Sena mount.

See 2 : 54 (Sura Baqra) �And when Moses said to his people: O my people! you have surely been unjust to yourselves by taking the calf (for a god), therefore turn to your Creator (penitently), so kill your people, that is best for you with your Creator: so He turned to you (mercifully), for surely He is the Oft-returning (to mercy), the Merciful So all those who were the perpetrators and who did not repent were killed. But those were forgiven who repented before Moses had returned to them. This event is also given in Old Testament Exodus Ch 32, verses 1 � 29 which says that almost 3000 were killed.

5. Are Allah's decrees changed or not?

Allah�s decrees never contradicts and no one can alter Allah�s commands except for Him alone. Like once we seeks for repentance or forgiveness Allah changes his decree from punishment to forgiveness. Secondly none of the decree given in Quran which was later altered contradicts. Like once Allah says don�t offer prayers once you are intoxicated, and later we are told that wine is forbidden and is Satanic. Does it contradict? The first order is still valid.

6.  Was Pharaoh killed or not killed by drowning? 

 Indeed Pharoah was drowned with all his men narrated at numerous places in Quran. While his Mummy or body was made example and was discovered in the early 20th century. Probably in 1917 and still lies preserved in Egyptian museum in Cairo. It was recently shown on Discovery channel on 4th April 2005 in a documentary. Rather till 1900 the other religion people used to say this is the prophecy which is still unfulfilled in Quran

And now its not possible to find the Pharaoh who had drowned and eaten by fish etc. But the Prophecy came true and his body was found with a thick salt layer on it still lying preserved.

7.  Is wine consumption good or bad? 

  The wine is not only bad for humans but is also haram (forbidden). But it does contain a benefit. It gives you pleasure and a false sense of security and this is the reason that once a man in deep despair drinks it he forgets his miseries. So expect for these two benefits it has all the evil properties. So both were described in Quran.

Regarding the other Questions, I would ask you some simple questions:

1.      Once you say, the God i worship never reveals himself in one "pure" language...but has translated his word in ALL languages of everytonge...so all nations need NOT learn one language (arabic) in order to pray to him. Do want to say that infact God revealed Bible in all these different languages? Well if that is what you say you are an ignorant Christian who does not know in which language it was revealed. It was revealed in Hebrew and some say in Greek. Regarding its translations the Quran has been translated in same number of languages as of Bible. But unfortunately no where we find the original scripture of Bible and God knows what all non sense has been included in Bible which is even not appropriate to quote here. �Bast--d� This word or abuse occurs in the Bible THREE times DEUTERONOMY 23:2, ZECHARIAH 9:6 and HEBREWS 12:8.  Incest (s-x-al relationship between close relations like brother-sisters, father-daughter etc)  GENESIS 19:33-35 (Prophet Lot and his daughters). Can you believe that well if you do shame on you.  Jacob�s son (Reuben) with his step mother GENESIS 35:22. And between brother and sister SAMUEL-2, 13 : 5-14. What is this nonsense?

2.      And once you say that the god i worship does not tell us to pray in a certain direction (first towards jerusalem) and then change his mind to (Mecca).  So let me ask how do you pray? Do you think that there were no instructions for Jewes and Christians? If you could read the Three chapters of Old Testement you will come to know what it contains for you. Just read Exodus and Leviticus. And if these instructions were not meant to be followed why were they given to you then?    As to why the direction was changed because before the Children of Ismael or the Ismaelites the Jews were the Ummah or the divine nation. They like Jesus denied the Prophet hood of Muhammad but were given a time to accept Muhammad as their awaited Prophet or the Messiah. But they didn�t so the divine honor to worship in the direction of Jerusalem was taken away. Kabba denotes the unity of Muslim nation and that they all worship One and Only God, thus they face one direction to represent that there is only one centre and that is One God. Therefore you can�t face one direction as you consider 3 gods and confuse it One God. How can be there one centre for you?

3.      So once you say that, the god i worship does not put a tax on unbelievers such as Jazya. This is misconception that only non- Muslims are to pay. Muslims are supposed to pay Zakat and non Muslims the jazya. Don�t you pay tax in America, Britain or any other part of the world? We all pay tax and so is the system in Islamic society, what�s the big deal about it. And if you don�t want to pay Jazya go to some other country, like of if you don�t want to pay tax in America go to some other country. I hope you will land on moon while looking for such a place.

4.      Salat (prayers), Fasting etc are the rituals which were made must for every nation and society by God, whether be Jews, Christians or any other. So if you don�t perform them you are free to do that but you will be held answerable in the hereafter. However Hajj was mandatory for the last Muslim nation.

5.      Nowhere the Quran or Hadith tells us to seek guidance from Anjeel or Torah. It tells that these were the revelations from God and their people on whom they were sent altered it not accidentally but intentionally and for a very small benefit but ultimately will be rewarded in eternal hell. �Do you then hope that they would believe in you, and a party from among them indeed used to hear the Word of Allah, then altered it after they had understood it, and they know (this) o And when they meet those who believe they say: We believe, and when they are alone one with another they say: Do you talk to them of what Allah has disclosed to you that they may contend with you by this before your Lord? Do you not then understand? o Do they not know that Allah knows what they keep secret and what they make known? o And there are among them illiterates who know not the Book but only lies, and they do but conjecture o Woe, then, to those who write the book with their hands and then say: This is from Allah, so that they may take for it a small price; therefore woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for what they earn o�(Sura Bakra-2, verse 75-79).

Good work.

Mostly, people who refer the qur'an contradiction will never comeback after Muslims fight back.

So far not even a single word coming from mr tawhid. Where is he?

But those were forgiven who repented before Moses had returned to them. This event is also given in Old Testament Exodus Ch 32, verses 1 � 29 which says that almost 3000 were killed.

 

5. Are Allah's decrees changed or not?

Allah�s decrees never contradicts and no one can alter Allah�s commands except for Him alone. Like once we seeks for repentance or forgiveness Allah changes his decree from punishment to forgiveness. Secondly none of the decree given in Quran which was later altered contradicts. Like once Allah says don�t offer prayers once you are intoxicated, and later we are told that wine is forbidden and is Satanic. Does it contradict? The first order is still valid.

 

6.  Was Pharaoh killed or not killed by drowning? 

 Indeed Pharoah was drowned with all his men narrated at numerous places in Quran. While his Mummy or body was made example and was discovered in the early 20th century. Probably in 1917 and still lies preserved in Egyptian museum in Cairo. It was recently shown on Discovery channel on 4th April 2005 in a documentary. Rather till 1900 the other religion people used to say this is the prophecy which is still unfulfilled in Quran

And now its not possible to find the Pharaoh who had drowned and eaten by fish etc. But the Prophecy came true and his body was found with a thick salt layer on it still lying preserved.

 

7.  Is wine consumption good or bad? 

  The wine is not only bad for humans but is also haram (forbidden). But it does contain a benefit. It gives you pleasure and a false sense of security and this is the reason that once a man in deep despair drinks it he forgets his miseries. So expect for these two benefits it has all the evil properties. So both were described in Quran.

 

Regarding the other Questions, I would ask you some simple questions:

1.      Once you say, the God i worship never reveals himself in one "pure" language...but has translated his word in ALL languages of everytonge...so all nations need NOT learn one language (arabic) in order to pray to him. Do want to say that infact God revealed Bible in all these different languages? Well if that is what you say you are an ignorant Christian who does not know in which language it was revealed. It was revealed in Hebrew and some say in Greek. Regarding its translations the Quran has been translated in same number of languages as of Bible. But unfortunately no where we find the original scripture of Bible and God knows what all non sense has been included in Bible which is even not appropriate to quote here. �Bast--d� This word or abuse occurs in the Bible THREE times DEUTERONOMY 23:2, ZECHARIAH 9:6 and HEBREWS 12:8.  Incest (s-x-al relationship between close relations like brother-sisters, father-daughter etc)  GENESIS 19:33-35 (Prophet Lot and his daughters). Can you believe that well if you do shame on you.  Jacob�s son (Reuben) with his step mother GENESIS 35:22. And between brother and sister SAMUEL-2, 13 : 5-14. What is this nonsense?

2.      And once you say that the god i worship does not tell us to pray in a certain direction (first towards jerusalem) and then change his mind to (Mecca).  So let me ask how do you pray? Do you think that there were no instructions for Jewes and Christians? If you could read the Three chapters of Old Testement you will come to know what it contains for you. Just read Exodus and Leviticus. And if these instructions were not meant to be followed why were they given to you then?    As to why the direction was changed because before the Children of Ismael or the Ismaelites the Jews were the Ummah or the divine nation. They like Jesus denied the Prophet hood of Muhammad but were given a time to accept Muhammad as their awaited Prophet or the Messiah. But they didn�t so the divine honor to worship in the direction of Jerusalem was taken away. Kabba denotes the unity of Muslim nation and that they all worship One and Only God, thus they face one direction to represent that there is only one centre and that is One God. Therefore you can�t face one direction as you consider 3 gods and confuse it One God. How can be there one centre for you?

3.      So once you say that, the god i worship does not put a tax on unbelievers such as Jazya. This is misconception that only non- Muslims are to pay. Muslims are supposed to pay Zakat and non Muslims the jazya. Don�t you pay tax in America, Britain or any other part of the world? We all pay tax and so is the system in Islamic society, what�s the big deal about it. And if you don�t want to pay Jazya go to some other country, like of if you don�t want to pay tax in America go to some other country. I hope you will land on moon while looking for such a place.

4.      Salat (prayers), Fasting etc are the rituals which were made must for every nation and society by God, whether be Jews, Christians or any other. So if you don�t perform them you are free to do that but you will be held answerable in the hereafter. However Hajj was mandatory for the last Muslim nation.

5.      Nowhere the Quran or Hadith tells us to seek guidance from Anjeel or Torah. It tells that these were the revelations from God and their people on whom they were sent altered it not accidentally but intentionally and for a very small benefit but ultimately will be rewarded in eternal hell. �Do you then hope that they would believe in you, and a party from among them indeed used to hear the Word of Allah, then altered it after they had understood it, and they know (this) o And when they meet those who believe they say: We believe, and when they are alone one with another they say: Do you talk to them of what Allah has disclosed to you that they may contend with you by this before your Lord? Do you not then understand? o Do they not know that Allah knows what they keep secret and what they make known? o And there are among them illiterates who know not the Book but only lies, and they do but conjecture o Woe, then, to those who write the book with their hands and then say: This is from Allah, so that they may take for it a small price; therefore woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for what they earn o�(Sura Bakra-2, verse 75-79).

Dear Tawhid. Let us back to the discussion about contradiction.

If you can't response my refutation on your copy and paste contradiction, that's mean you are fail at least one point about human creation. You have to admit that point 1. is not a contradiction.

After you response, I'll be ready for other claims inshaALLAH.

I'll wait.

Salaam

was it after the quran was formulated - AFTER your prophet said that the enjeels were from God?

or before?
serpents

by who? when? how can God's enjeels be corrupted if they were from God almighty? how can a simple human corrupt the divine word of God?

You have not answered AhmedJoiya's question yet.

Anyway I'll answer some of your simple questions. No written injeel is free corruption. All had been corrupted since the injeel was written. Because the authors were not genuine peoples who love and fear God, some even Prophet Jesus's enemy. Of course before the quran was formulated. The quran's content was not based from any books or any human writing but came from God directly.

There is no God's promise to maintain/protect the Injeel, because God had an intention to release the new version of injeel, that is Quran.
