mistakes in Quran ?

Question

There are many numerical contradictions in the Quran. Can God make so much error in doing simple calculations?

How many days did it take to create Heavens and Earth ?

Quran 7: 54 Your gurdian-Lord is Allah who created the heavens and earth in Six Days

Quran 10: 3 Verily your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and earth in Six Days

Quran 11:7 He it is Who created the heavens and earth in Six Days
Quran-25:29: He Who created the heavens and earth and all that is between, in Six Days

The above verses clearly state that God created the heaven and Allah created the heaven and the Earth in 6 days. But the verses below stated-

Quran 41: 9 Is it that ye deny Him who created the earth in Two Days ?

Quran 41: 10 He set on the (earth) Mountains standing firm high above it, and bestowed blessing on the earth, and measured therein all things to give them nourishment in due proportion, in FOUR DAYS…

Quran 41: 12 So He completed them (heavens) as seven firmaments in Two days and …

Now do the math: 2(for earth) + 4(for nourishment) + 2 (for heavens) = 8 days; and not 6 days

Similar mistakes you can see in the verse: Quran 4: 11 - 12, and Quran 4: 176 in inheritance law. In these verses one can see the total property after adding all distributed parties adds up more than the available property, i.e., totals become more than 1 which are: 1.125 and 1.25. How come ? A gross mathematical errors, is not it ?

Allah’s Days Equal to 1000 Years or 50,000 Years?

Quran 22: 47 A day in the sight of the Lord is like a thousand years of your reckoning. Quran-32:5: To Him, on a Day, the space whereof will be a thousands years of your rekoning

Quran 70: 4 The angels and the spirit ascend unto him in a day the measure whereof is Fifty thousands years.

So, which one is it? Is the day of Allah equal to 1,000 earth years or 50,000 earth years?

Answer 2

There was no global flood of Noah's day. See Wikipedia Ice Core , Dendrochronology...or for that matter see Native Americans who were in the Americas well before 10000 BC as were plants and animals. The flood would have killed all plants animals and humans in the Americas. By the time of the flood circa 4500 yrs ago plus or minus a few hundred years, the Bearing Straight land bridge was closed ie under water. My native American ancestors would have died in Noahs flood and I would not exist now. No additional people would have just crossed the Bearing Straight to repopulate the Americas after the flood. Pacific islanders traveling to America after the flood would not explain the large animals such as mountain lions, wolves, buffalo etc. When the Europeans arrived, they saw not a dead land void of plants ,animals. and people, but saw life. This is to include finding life that was not found elsewhere such some of the New World foods. How could food crops that didn't exist in other countries travel as seed over wind and water to get to the Americas? The data shows the global flood did not happen. (Recall also that in explaining a flood, the earth was underwater at creation until the waters were separated into areas with dry land and again at Noah's lifetime. People that believe these stories would need to come up with data supporting both episodes. So far they have failed to show up with conclusive evidence for one such episode and there is much evidence against. My existence as someone with Native American heritage is evidence against).

The Koran teaches that Noah and the flood were real.

Sura 7,Ayat 59-64; Sura 11,Ayat 25-49; Sura 26,Ayat 105-122; Sura 54,Ayat 9-15; and Sura 71,Ayat 1-28.

Would a god fail to notice there was no flood? This either means god lies, has a faulty memory OR there is a competent honest god but the Koran writer got it wrong.

See also Jesus in Islam in Wikipedia.
So why does the fact that the flood is a myth cause problems with Jesus? Well if you recall, or look up the genealogy of Jesus, Noah and his son Shem who were according to myth on the ark during the global flood are ancestors of Jesus. Assuming Jesus is real is akin to assuming that an offspring of the tooth fairy and Santa is real. Mythical beings do not beget live humans.

The Koran writes as though the Jesus story was actual fact, with some modifications.

See in Wikipedia Adam in Islam. The Koran also accepts Adam from the mythical beginning of the earth circa 6000 yrs ago. The genealogy of Adam places him as a forefather to Noah a mythical character. We also know that humanity is more than 6000 yrs old. Adam and Noah are both mythical characters. Adam is also listed in the bible as a forefather of Jesus.

Jesus has at least some mythical characters in his linage ie Adam, Noah, and Noah's son Shem. Would the descendant from at least 3 mythical characters be literally true or alive?

The Koran also accepts Adam as literally a true character from history.

These mistakes aren't put forward often because this would also cause problems with the Jewish and Christian faith. This leaves believers in those faiths ignoring the huge issues and looking for little problems.

The Koran accepts Moses as a prophet. Moses was known to worship yahwey. Archeology now shows that yahway was one god of the Canaanite pantheon. El was the high god. Asherah was the female god. There were many descendants of El ad Asherah. Yahwey was one of these. Yahwey priests ended up rising in power by murdering beliefers in other gods.

See in Wikipedia:
Canaanite gods
Ugarit - which is a specific archeological dig site
El
Ashera
Yahwey
Moses

Christ Myth Theory

Do I believe there were NO faith healers, rabbis, teachers, political dissidents etc in Caanan who were models for the Jesus story? That's going to far. There were people like that in abundance. Still there are many problems with attributing all that was said about Jesus in the Gospels to one man and assuming it all is unquestionably true. I believe bits were added from local stories of other men to give the Jesus story a decidedly Jewish spin, but the bulk of the stories were lifted from stories about other local gods and their origin predated the proposed time of the life of Jesus.

The Koran assumes Jesus was literally true despite his heritage from legends. This is a HUGE problem and calls reliability of the Koran into question.

Other issues in the Koran and Bible seem to pivot around stone age to iron age standards in science and morality. If the Bible and Koran don't make it past examination regarding Adam, Noah, Shem, Moses, and Jesus, ...the rest of it is beating a dead horse.

Answer 3

1. Time of Allah is incomparable to earthly time
The Qur’an says in two verses, (22:47 and 32:5), that the measure of one day in the sight of Allah is equal to 1,000 years of our reckoning. In another verse (70:4) it says that the measure of one day in the sight of Allah is equal to 50,000 years of our reckoning.

These verses generally mean that the time of Allah (swt) is incomparable to the earthly time. The examples given are of one thousand years and fifty thousand years of the earthly time. In other words thousands of years or a very, very long time of the earth a day in the sight of Allah is equal to:

2. Yaum also means Period
The Arabic word used in all these three verses is yaum, which, besides meaning a day also means a long period, or an epoch. If you translate the word yaum correctly as ‘period’ there will be no confusion.

a) The verse from Surah Hajj reads as:
"Yet they ask thee to hasten on the Punishment! but Allah will not fail in His promise. Verily a Day in the sight of thy Lord is like a thousand years of your reckoning".

[Al-Qur’an 22:47]

When the unbelievers asked to hasten the punishment the Qur’an says Allah will not fail in His promise. Verily a period in the sight of Allah is like a thousand years of your reckoning.

b) The verse from Surah Al-Sajdah says:
"He rules (all) affairs from the heavens to the earth: in the end will (all affairs) go up? To Him, on a Day, the space whereof will be (as) a thousand years of your reckoning".

[Al-Qur’an 32:5]

This verse indicates that a period required for all the affairs to go up to Allah (swt), is a thousand years of our reckoning.

c) A verse from Surah Al-Maarij says:
"The angels and the spirit ascend unto Him in a Day the measure whereof is (as) fifty thousand years".
[Al-Qur’an 70:4]

This verse means that the period required for angels and the spirits to ascend unto Allah (swt) is fifty thousand years.

d) The period for two different acts need not be the same. For example the period required for me to travel to destination ‘A’ say Vashi is one hour and the period required for me to travel to destination ‘B’ i.e. Kashmir is 50 hours. This does not indicate that I am making two contradictory statements.
Thus the verses of the Qur’an not only do not contradict each other, they are also in perfect harmony with established modern scientific facts.

Answer 4

perfect question but you have miss translation dear
the Tafseer of this verse(aya) 41: 9 is
are you deny "who can" create earth in 2 day ?
that not mean he create earth in 2 day
so you must read Tafseer of ayat cuz Arabic is complex to translation and give full meaning

Answer 5

It is obvious to normal people that the quran Is just for a poor people that can't believe in a true God.( Oh did you notice the q In quran Is in lower case? that's because they are lower case people) I don't really know if i am right here but i think the quran was written in 1872, so that means my Great Grandma could have stopped a crap people from ever believing in death as martyrdom.. Oh and no I am not a muslim, IN IT.

Answer 6

its non-sense written by freaks.

how can earth be created in days, there are proofs that earth took millions of years to cool down.

Was it earth when it was 1000 degrees, and what is up with heaven, were there humans in boiling magma dying to reach heaven.

Answer 7

All this proves is that the Koran was written by DIFFERENT PEOPLE, just like the Bible or any other Holy Book.

Now, if I go out and point out where "God" says that women should be silent when they are in a place of worship, and never speak their own opinions, does that make the Bible completely wrong? No, it just shows the culture of the time.

No holy book is perfect, hell, nothing's perfect! I think the Koran has just as much merit as the Bible, the Torah, etc.

Answer 8

More of this can be found at www.carm.org/islam/Koran_contradictions.htm .But it is more interesting to look for factual errors; there are some, one of which is very important and has had a remarkably destructive effect on Islamic society.
