Show me one error in the Qu'ran...?

Question

Who wants to have a go?

Answer 1

Where do I begin? The Quran has multiple scientific inaccuracies. For instance, Islam plagiarized a wrong theory of Greek scientists which stated that sperm originates from the backbone (Sura 86:5-7). There are other fallacies such as Sura 36:38, 39:5, 13:2, 21:33, and 31:29 that states the sun orbits the earth. Also, according to Allah (whom supposedly created the earth) the world is flat; revealed in Suras 13:3; 15:19; 18:7; 19:6; 21:30; 35:40; 41:10; 43:10; 50:7; 51:48; 55:10; 78:6; 79:30; 88:20.

Plus hate, violence, and violation of humans rights are also descrepencies.....

Death for apostasy:
Sura 4:89 They long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that ye may be upon a level (with them). So choose not friends from them till they forsake their homes in the way of Allah; if they turn back (to enmity) then take them and kill them wherever ye find them, and choose no friend nor helper from among them,”

Kill Disbelievers in a cruel fashion:
Sura 5:33: "Those who make war with Allah and his messenger will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land. That is how they will be treated in this world, and in the next they will have an awful doom."

Slit throats of unbelievers:
Quran Sura 47:4: Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah's Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of Allah,- He will never let their deeds be lost.

Amputation for petty theft:
Quran Sura 5:38: Cut off the hands of thieves, whether they are male or female, as punishment for what they have done—a deterrent from God: God is almighty and wise.

Killing unbelievers:
9:123. O ye who believe! fight the unbelievers who gird you about, and let them find firmness in you: and know that Allah is with those who fear Him.

Dont be friends with Jews or Christians:
Sura 5:51: O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for your allies and protectors: They are but allies and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust.

Kill disbelievers:
2:191. And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have Turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith.

Permission for a muslim man to beat his wife if she doesnt obey him:
Sura 4:34: “Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in their sleeping places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.”

Answer 2

The Qur'an teaches that there are seven heavens one above the other [67:3, 71:15], and that the stars are in the lower heaven [67:5, 37:6, 41:12], but the moon is depicted as being in/inside the seven heavens [71:16], even though in reality the stars are much further away from the earth than the moon.

The Qur'an says that the calf worshipped by the Israelites at mount Horeb was molded by a Samaritan (Sura 20:85-87, 95-97). Yet the term `Samaritan' was not coined until 722 B.C., which is several hundred years after the events recorded in Exodus. Thus, the Samaritan people could not have existed during the life of Moses, and therefore, could not have been responsible for molding the calf.

Take, for example, the Quran's highly controversial statement that human beings are formed from a clot of blood. "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" (23:14).

This is hardly a scientific description of embryonic development. It ignores to mention the female egg (the second and equally important half) and the process of fertilization when egg and sperm unite to form one new cell.

It mentions the obvious [the sperm], the visible, that which all mankind knew for a long time that it is necessary to "make" a baby. The Qur'an does NOT mention the invisible, that which we know only through modern medicine. Had God really wanted to reveal something nobody could know at that time, in order to prove the divine origin of his revelation, he would have talked e.g. about the "equal contribution of the female through the ovum to form the new person and how the two come together and form one being".

Answer 3

This website is very obviously misinterpreting the Quran and twisting it's words. I've looked at it. I saw one misinterpretation and was like ''WHAT, that's not even close to what the verse means!''. They are trying their best to make Islam look bad, but have failed and will always fail. Go read the entire quran, see if you find any errors or contradictions. People like you are too ignorant and arrogant!

Answer 4

Allah turned the Sabbath-breaking Jews into apes. 2:65-66

To settle a murder mystery, Allah brought a murder victim back to life by hitting his dead body with a piece of the yellow cow. The risen man then identified his murderer! 2:72-3

Allah makes a man "die" for 100 years, and then brings him back to life. 2:259

To show how he gives life to the dead, Allah tells Abraham to cut up the bodies of four birds, scatter their remains on four hills, and then call to them. Allah says that the dead birds will come quickly to Abraham. 2:260

Answer 5

Well it has less errors than the Bible, but there are still quite a few, I'll edit if someone doesn't post some, unlikely.

Answer 6

God's word has no errors...

Compared to the Bible, which has something like 100,000 contradictions (no lie), what would you believe to be the word of god?

And any errors that are found have no correlation to the Quranic Arabic. They are errors in translation...

Answer 7

I could show you a thousand books that don't contain any errors, so whats your point?

Answer 8

To muslims, this thread is senseless because anything that goes against the q'uran is rubbish. Even if its factual and concurs with secular evidences.

If they agreed with you, they'd have to dump their islam.

Answer 9

Jesus did not die on the cross.

Asky any Christian or the thousands of people in Jersualem on that day. They know who it was.

Muhammad wasn't born yet, so he didn't know squat about Jesus. Just what some voice in his head told him.

Answer 10

"And he followed a road till, when he reached the setting‑place of the sun, he found it setting in a muddy spring, and found a people thereabout"
--Surah 18:84-92

ummm, no....
