Muslims, explain to me the concept of Abrogation.?

Question

Does it mean that it is ok to have contradictions in the Koran?

Who Was the First Muslim? Muhammad [6:14, 163], Moses [7:143], some Egyptians [26:51], or Abraham [2:127-133, 3:67] or Adam, the first man who also received inspiration from Allah [2:37]?

Can Allah be seen and did Muhammad see his Lord? Yes [S. 53:1-18, 81:15-29], No [6:102-103, 42:51].

How many mothers does a Muslim have? Only one [58:2, the woman who gave birth and none else], or two [4:23, including the mother who nursed him], or at least ten [33:6]?

And it just doesn't add up: Sura 4:11-12 and 4:176 state the Qur'anic inheritance law. When a man dies, and is leaving behind three daughters, his two parents and his wife, they will receive the respective shares of 2/3 for the 3 daughters together, 1/3 for the parents together [both according to verse 4:11] and 1/8 for the wife [4:12] which adds up to more than the available estate. A second example: A man leaves only his mother, his wife and two sisters, then they receive 1/3 [mother, 4:11], 1/4 [wife, 4:12] and 2/3 [the two sisters, 4:176], which again adds up to 15/12 of the available property.

Further numerical discrepancies Does Allah's day equal to 1,000 human years (Sura 22:47, 32:5) or 50,000 human years (Sura 70:4)? --- According to Sura 56:7 there will be THREE distinct groups of people at the Last Judgement, but 90:18-19, 99:6-8, etc. mention only TWO groups. --- There are conflicting views on who takes the souls at death: THE Angel of Death [32:11], THE angels (plural)

What was man created from? A blood clot [96:1-2], water [21:30, 24:45, 25:54], "sounding" (i.e. burned) clay [15:26], dust [3:59, 30:20, 35:11], nothing [19:67] and this is then denied in 52:35, earth [11:61], a drop of thickened fluid [16:4, 75:37]

and many more!!!

Thanks "helper":- You are the only Muslim who tried to answer my question! But, "Who is the first Muslim? What a big deal, if you talk about all humans then Adam, at the time of Abraham he was the first, and at the time of Muhammad he was the first among his people"

U r aware that by definition of first, there can only be one first Muslim. Please explain.

Also, does "Does Allah's day equal to 1,000 human years (Sura 22:47, 32:5) or 50,000 human years (Sura 70:4)" mean that Allah is moving about?

Answer 1

Too many questions that need a lot of explanations but in summery:
Abrogation refers to cancellation of a previous order by a new order, for example forbidding wine in Islam was gradual because people were heavy drinkers, so each new step was abrogating the previous which was easier.
Yes there is more than one mother, not only the one who delivered him, but the one who lactated him (fed him milk from her breast), the aunt, the grandmother all considered mothers.
The day as a measure of time is different according to place, on Earth is not as on March or Venous, and according to God it is not as our earthy day, and of course this concept is a miracle of the Quran because it was not known before.
Who is the first Muslim? What a big deal, if you talk about all humans then Adam, at the time of Abraham he was the first, and at the time of Muhammad he was the first among his people.
Quran is easy to those who open their hearts and minds but very difficult for arrogant people.
Thanks for the question.
According to creation of human he was created from all you mentioned but in stages, first from nothing, then dust then water, clay, that was Adam, but then from semen, then zygote, then next stages as mentioned in the holy Quran and approved by non Muslim scholars (Pr. Keith Moore), and this is also a miracle of the Quran.

Answer 2

First of all, are there any contradictions in the quran? Provide some evidence if you can.
The hadith is for explaining out the Quran, it gives detailed explanations about the verses of the Quran and their are numerous Tafsir books that you can look at if you are still confused.
All of the Prophets were the first Muslims to the respective people that they were sent to,
It only mentions groups on judgement day in one verse, in the others it doesnt mention groups, nonbeleivers to hell, muslims but great sinners to hell for a short time, the greatest muslims like prophets etc to heaven, get it?
his wives were called the mothers because they were the first Muslim women and people respected them,
Muhammed didnt see Allah BUT saw The angel Gabriel, Allah doesnt mention himself there, only GABRIEL who revealed the quran to him.
It only mentions the angel of death, no plural angels.
Man was created from nothing, meaning that nothing similar to Allah, nothing was there first then Allah created clay and made Adam, the fluid is the description of sexual reproduction and the clot of blood is the feutos in the mother, they are all differant stages of mans development.
Angels and humans have differant day spans, ok? It mentions humans in two verses and angels in one.
The inheritence law is mentioned in detail in the hadith and tafsir that was written by learned scholars.
Any more verses? I would love to answer all of them.

Answer 3

Ma'am As a a Christian (married male); would I grant yet another concept at present right here? There are 'logically' a minimum of two different opportunities. bear in mind, a lady's womb helps a fetus strengthen for extra or less 9 months.(To me; that's the second one function of the womb). the first function (in spite of if she is 'virgin'). danger a million; If God made the body; even as mankind would comprehend a million thanks to the womb; might want to God comprehend a second direction? 2. even as a lady is having her era; and 'stuff'' travels from her 'womb' out of the body, might want to something else (pretty smaller say a cellular length) use an same direction to commute outside the body to the womb? concept; the mild of the international created on day a million of introduction became Jesus (communicate over with John 8&9). to that end, Jesus already existed earlier his 'delivery' to Mary.
