HERE IS VOL 584B – COMBINATION OF [1] THE SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY AND A VIDEO ON AN INTRODUCTION TO 2 TIMOTHY, [2] PART OF SERIES APPARENT BIBLE CONTRADICTIONS VS. REAL CONTRADICTIONS IN THE QURAN: [NOTE, THIS SERIES IS NOT IN MATHEMATICAL ORDER SINCE IT IS PRESENTED IN ORDER OF INTEREST}
[1] SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY [584B]
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 1 Peter 5:6 – 7, [authorized King James Bible; AV]
Yes, we should exalt Almighty God (YHWH) over everything else including ourselves, and this truth is clearly stated at Matthew 23:12, [AV] “And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.” And at Matthew 6:25, [AV] “Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?” Instead, we should per Psalms 55:22, [AV] “Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.”

[2] PART FOUR OF SERIES APPARENT BIBLE CONTRADICTIONS VS. REAL CONTRADICTIONS IN THE QURAN:
Contradictions in the Quran by Syed Kamran Mirza
And no question do they bring to you but We reveal to you the truth and the best explanation" (Quran 25:33).
This part consist of: 3- Sun-set and Sun-rise and 4- A Resting Place For Sun!?
[b]SUN-SET AND SUN-RISE
Koran teaches us that the Sun sets in a muddy spring:
Quran 18: 86 Till, when he (the traveller Zul-qarnain) reached the setting-place of the Sun, he found it going down into a muddy spring...
Quran 18: 90 Till, when he reached the rising-place of the Sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We had appointed no shelter from it.
Serious scientific errors here! Firstly, it is scientifically accepted fact that, the Sun never go down in a muddy spring. Secondly, this seems to presuppose a FLAT Earth, otherwise how can there be an extreme point in the West or in the East? A sunrise there would be basically just the same as at any other place on this earth, at land or sea. It would still look as if it is setting "far away". It does say, that he reached THE PLACE where the Sun sets and in his second Journey the place where it rises.
A RESTING PLACE FOR SUN!?
Quran 36: 38 And the sun runneth on unto a resting place for him. That is the measuring of the Mighty, the Wise.
Quran 36: 39 And for the moon We have appointed mansions till she return like an old shrivelled palm leaf.
Quran 36: 40 It is not for Sun to overtake the moon, nor doth the night outstrip the day. They float each in an orbit.
Allah is indeed a big scientist. Where is sun and where is moon situated? Can anybody tell me how they could collide/meet/overtake each other? Are the sun and the moon neighbors to each other? I have the answer for this error: Ancient Allah saw (bare eye observations) sun and moon traveling from east to west seemingly in the same Sky area or same path, without colliding, causing day and night etc. Allah hardly could imagine that all these phenomena are simply due to Earth's rotation and NOT by Sun's rotation. Sun is stationary for Earth, because earth is stuck in the sun's Gravity, like we are stuck in earth's gravity. Allah never says any where in the whole Quran that, EARTH ROTATES. Perhaps Allah could not feel earth's rotation.
A resting place for sun WAS CONFIRMED BY HADITHS?
Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 54, Number 421
Sahih Bukhari Hadiths: Abzur Ghifari (ra) narrated: one day Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) asked me, "Abzar do you know after setting where does Sun go?" I replied, I do not know, only Allah's apostle can say better. Then Prophet (SA) replied, "After setting, the sun remains prostrated under Allah's Aro'sh and waits for Allah's command for rising again in the East. Day will come when sun will not get permission to rise again and Qeyamot will fall upon Earth".
Can anybody tell me what is it? It was the superstitious belief of ancient people reflected in the Quran and Hadiths by Allah. A 10-year-old boy would not tell such fairy tale story today.

[2] PART OF SERIES APPARENT BIBLE CONTRADICTIONS VS. REAL CONTRADICTIONS IN THE QURAN: [NOTE, THIS SERIES IS NOT IN MATHEMATICAL ORDER SINCE IT IS PRESENTED IN ORDER OF INTEREST}
[1] SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY [585B]
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. James 1:17, [authorized King James Bible; AV]
Almighty God (YHWH) clearly has given the gift of life to all, good and bad, this is clearly shown at Matthew 7:11, [AV] “If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?” Yes, as shown at Malachi 3:6, [AV] “For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” He does not change.

[2] PART FIVE OF SERIES APPARENT BIBLE CONTRADICTIONS VS. REAL CONTRADICTIONS IN THE QURAN:
Contradictions in the Quran by Syed Kamran Mirza
And no question do they bring to you but We reveal to you the truth and the best explanation" (Quran 25:33).
Part Five consist of 5- Why Allah Created Stars! And 6- Is Sky/Heaven A ROOF or Canopy Over the Earth?
[b]WHY OLD MIDDLE EASTERN CELESTIAL MOON GOD, "ALLAH," CREATED STARS!
Quran gives us further scientific knowledge by telling us that the stars were created by Allah as missiles to throw at the devils:
Quran 67: 5 And We have (from of old) adorned the lowest heaven (sky) with lamps, and We have made such (Lamps as) missiles to drive away Satans...
Quran 37: 6-8 We have indeed decorated the lower heaven (sky) with beauty (in) the stars, (for beauty) and for guard against all obstinate rebellious Satans. So they should not strain their ears in the direction of the Exalted Assembly but be cast away from every side.
Thus, the stars are nothing but missiles to throw at devils so that they may not eavesdrop on the heavenly council. Once again we find how Allah was high on his superstitious weirdness.
IS SKY/HEAVEN A ROOF OR CANOPY OVER THE EARTH?
Quran 21: 32 And We have made the sky a roof withheld (from them). Yet they turn away from its portents.
Quran 31: 10 He hath created the heavens (Skies) without supports (pillars) that ye can see, and hath cast into the earth firm Mountains/Hills, so that it quake not with you; and He hath dispersed...
Quran 2: 22: Who has made the earth your couch, And the heavens (Sky) your canopy
Modern science tells us- whole thing around the earth is space and there is no boundary even if we go Billions of light years away in all directions. Questions are: When there is no sky above us then how in the world, it needs pillars for support? Do we really have a roof above us? Is there a canopy above the Earth? Is there anything called above or beneath us? Are mountains there to prevent Earth from shaking? Give me a break!
Once again Allah considered sky as roof over the Earth, which will broke/shattered during dooms day
Quran 78: 19 And the heavens (sky) Shall be broken (opened) as if there were doors opens...
Quran 82: 1 When the Sky is cleft asunder
Quran 69: 16 And the sky will be Rent asunder, for it will That day be flimsy (soft)
Quran 81: 2 When the stars fall, losing their luster.
Yousuf Ali comments in his Tafsir: beautiful blue-sky overhead (which we take for granted in sunshine) will be shattered to pieces. Modern science tells us that there is no such thing as roof/sky or any canopy over the Earth; rather all around Earth is a limitless space. Only Allah knows what will break/shatter or will get soft/flimsy or how doors will open , there is no walls, where from doors will come? In some Ayats Allah threatened kafirs by saying: "I (Allah) will throw broken pieces of sky over your head."

HERE IS VOL 586B – COMBINATION OF [1] THE SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY AND A VIDEO ON AN INTRODUCTION TO PLILEMON, AND GO TO: AND AND LEARN WITH RESPECT TO MEMORIAL OF JESUS’ DEATH TO BE HELD ON APRIL 4, 2023. SOME SCRIPTURAL READINGS TO READ LEADING UP TO THE MEMORIAL OF CHRIST DEATH.
JOHN 12:12-19, “The next day the large crowd that had come to the festival heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. 13 So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him,m and they began to shout: “Save, we pray you! Blessed is the one who comes in Jehovah’s name,n the King of Israel!”o 14 When Jesus found a young donkey, he sat on it,p just as it is written: 15 “Have no fear, daughter of Zion. Look! Your king is coming, seated on a donkey’s colt.”q 16 These things his disciples did not understand at first,r but when Jesus was glorified,s they recalled that these things were written about him and that they did these things to him.t17 Now the crowd that was with him when he called Lazʹa·rus out of the tombu and raised him up from the dead kept bearing witness.v 18 This is also why the crowd went to meet him, because they heard he had performed this sign. 19 So the Pharisees said among themselves: “You see that you are not getting anywhere. Look! The whole world has gone after him.”
Mark 11:1-11, “ Now when they were getting near to Jerusalem, to Bethʹpha·ge and Bethʹa·nya at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciplesb 2 and told them: “Go into the village that is within sight, and as soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied on which no man has sat until now. Untie it and bring it here. 3 And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here right away.’” 4 So they went away and found the colt tied at a door, outside on the side street, and they untied it.c 5 But some of those standing there said to them: “What are you doing untying the colt?” 6 They told them just what Jesus had said, and they let them go.7 And they brought the coltd to Jesus, and they put their outer garments on it, and he sat on it.e 8 Also, many spread their outer garments on the road,f but others cut down foliage from the fields.g 9 And those going in front and those coming behind kept shouting: “Save, we pray!h Blessed is the one who comes in Jehovah’s name!i 10 Blessed is the coming Kingdom of our father David!j Save, we pray, in the heights above!”* 11 And he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple, and he looked around at everything, but since the hour was already late, he went out to Bethʹa·ny with the Twelve.”

COMBINATION OF [1] THE SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY AND [2] PART SIX OF SERIES APPARENT BIBLE CONTRADICTIONS VS. REAL CONTRADICTIONS IN THE QURAN
[1] SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY [586B]
For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Malachi 3:6, [authorized King James Bible; AV]
Almighty God (YHWH) has always existed and He does not change. As He said, Isaiah 43:10, [AV] “Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.” Yes to be His genuine follower, you must keep yourself without spot from the world per James 1:27, [AV] “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.”

[2] PART SIX OF SERIES APPARENT BIBLE CONTRADICTIONS VS. REAL CONTRADICTIONS IN THE QURAN:
Contradictions in the Quran by Syed Kamran Mirza
And no question do they bring to you but We reveal to you the truth and the best explanation" (Quran 25:33).
Part Six consist of 7- Does Sun Rotate Around the Earth? And
8- Does Earth Spread Out Like Carpet (flat)
[b]DOES SUN ROTATE AROUND THE EARTH?
Quran 31: 29 Seest thou not that Old middle eastern celestial Moon god, "Allah," merges Night into Day and He merges Day into Night; That He has subjected the sun and moon (to His law), each running its course for a term (time) appointed.
Quran 21: 33 It is He who created The Night and Day, And the Sun and Moon; each of them Swim (float) along in its own course.
Ayats mentioned above could be found over and over again and again almost in every pages of Quran. Because, Old middle eastern celestial Moon god, "Allah," standing in the open Arab desert saw very well that, every morning SUN is rising from the East and gradually (appointed time or fixed time) setting to the West, and as a result, day and night follows. Old middle eastern celestial Moon god, "Allah," truly mentioned this wrong knowledge (sun moving) of pre-historic people. Every time Old middle eastern celestial Moon god, "Allah," mentioned Sun & Moon, He mentioned day & night, as if it is due to sun's movement day and night follows. But surprisingly, all the hypocrite Mullahs giving false credit to Old middle eastern celestial Moon god, "Allah," by saying: look Quran told about sun's movement 1400 years ago which modern science only found out now. In real world, sun takes 225 millions of years to make just one complete circle through the solar Universe. And obviously this movement of sun has nothing to do with DAY & NIGHT of the earth. Actually, Sun is stationary in relation to the Earth, because the Earth is stuck to the giant gravitation force of the Sun, and the Earth also moves along with the Sun wherever it goes, just the way we are stuck to the Earth's gravitation force and do not feel its movement at all.
Why then, Old middle eastern celestial Moon god, "Allah," was telling the Sun's movement again and again. I have already mentioned above, why Old middle eastern celestial Moon god, "Allah," was hysteric about the Sun's movements. Now dishonest Mullahs are claiming science here. I wonder, why Old middle eastern celestial Moon god, "Allah," has to mentioned about the Sun's 225 millions year journey (which is even unimaginable to mankind) to tell about day and night? What relation Sun's movement has with the day and night?
DOES EARTH SPREAD OUT LIKE CARPET (FLAT)?
Quran 15: 19 And the earth We have spread out (like a carpet); set thereon Mountains firm and immovable;
Quran 78: 6-7 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, And the mountains as pegs (anchor)?
Allah was sure that earth is flat like a carpet and mountains are there to anchor the earth so that earth does not shake with us. Allah is really merciful scientist.

SOME SCRIPTURAL READINGS TO READ LEADING UP TO THE MEMORIAL OF CHRIST DEATH.
JOHN 12:20-50, “Now there were some Greeks among those who had come to worship at the festival. 21 So these approached Philip,x who was from Beth·sa?i·da of Gal?i·lee, and they began to request him, saying: “Sir, we want to see Jesus.” 22 Philip came and told Andrew.y Andrew and Philip came and told Jesus.23 But Jesus answered them: “The hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified.z 24 Most truly I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just one grain; but if it dies,a it then bears much fruit. 25 Whoever is fond of his life destroys it, but whoever hates his lifeb in this world will safeguard it for everlasting life.c 26 If anyone would minister to me, let him follow me, and where I am, there my minister will be also.d If anyone would minister to me, the Father will honor him. 27 Now I am troubled,e and what should I say? Father, save me out of this hour.f Nevertheless, this is why I have come to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name.” Then a voiceg came out of heaven: “I have glorified it and will glorify it again.”h29 The crowd that was standing there heard it and began to say that it had thundered. Others said: “An angel has spoken to him.” 30 Jesus answered: “This voice has occurred, not for my sake, but for your sakes.i 31 Now there is a judging of this world; now the ruler of this worldj will be cast out.k 32 And yet I, if I am lifted up from the earth,l will draw all sorts of men to myself.”m 33 This he was really saying to indicate what sort of death he was about to die.n 34 Then the crowd answered him: “We heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever.o How can you say that the Son of man must be lifted up?p Who is this Son of man?” 35 So Jesus said to them: “The light will be among you a little while longer.q Walk while you still have the light, so that darkness does not overpower you; whoever walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.r 36 While you have the light, exercise faith in the light, so that you may become sons of light.”sJesus said these things and went off and hid from them. 37 Although he had performed so many signs before them, they were not putting faith in him, 38 so that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, who said: “Jehovah, who has put faith in the thing heard from us?*t And as for the arm of Jehovah, to whom has it been revealed?”u 39 The reason why they were not able to believe is that again Isaiah said: 40 “He has blinded their eyes and has made their hearts hard, so that they would not see with their eyes and understand with their hearts and turn around and I heal them.”v 41 Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory, and he spoke about him.w 42 All the same, many even of the rulers actually put faith in him,x but they would not acknowledge him because of the Pharisees, so that they would not be expelled from the synagogue;y 43 for they loved the glory of men even more than the glory of God.*z44 However, Jesus called out and said: “Whoever puts faith in me puts faith not only in me but also in him who sent me;a 45 and whoever sees me sees also the One who sent me.b 46 I have come as a light into the world,c so that everyone putting faith in me may not remain in the darkness.d 47 But if anyone hears my sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I came, not to judge the world, but to save the world.e 48 Whoever disregards me and does not receive my sayings has one to judge him. The word that I have spoken is what will judge him on the last day.f 49 For I have not spoken of my own initiative, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment about what to say and what to speak.g 50 And I know that his commandment means* everlasting life.h So whatever I speak, I speak just as the Father has told me.”i

What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me? 13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. 14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.
Psalms 116:12 – 14, [authorized King James Bible; AV]
It is imperative that we serve the true God, and His son directed us at Matthew 28:18 – 20, [AV] “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
Jesus (Yeshua) himself when speaking to Simon Peter stressed the importance of feeding his sheep at John 21:16 – 17, [AV] “He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.”

[2] PART SEVEN OF SERIES APPARENT BIBLE CONTRADICTIONS VS. REAL CONTRADICTIONS IN THE QURAN:
Contradictions in the Quran by Syed Kamran Mirza
And no question do they bring to you but We reveal to you the truth and the best explanation" (Quran 25:33).
Part Seven consist of 9- Is Man Created From Clotted Blood? And 10- Is Religion Compulsive or is it not?
IS MAN CREATED FROM CLOTTED BLOOD?
Quran-23:14: Then fashioned We the drop (semen) a CLOT OF CONGEALED BLOOD then fashioned We the Clot a little lump (foetus), fashioned We the little lump into bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, and then produced it another creation. So blessed be Allah, the Best of Creators. ( Bengali translated Quran said: "Zamaa't Raokto theeke Manoosh banieesi" And this Ayat has been repeated again and again throughout the Quran ) Quran-75:38: Then he becomes a CLOT; then (Allah) shaped and fashioned...
Quran 96: 2 Created man, out of a mere clot of congealed blood
There are serious scientific problems here:
Blood clot cannot grow into anything. This idea also came from the Greek. Aristotle erroneously believed that, humans are originated from the action of male semen upon female menstrual blood, which is absolutely an incorrect assumption. Quran's assertion on Clot (alaqa) is completely wrong about human development, since there is absolutely no stage during which the embryo consists of a clot. The only situation in which an embryo might appear like a clot is during a miscarriage, in which case the clotted blood that is seen to emerge (much of which comes from mother) is solidified and by definition no longer alive. Therefore, if ever an embryo appeared to look like a clot it would never develop any further into a human; it would be a dead mass of bloody miscarrying flesh. Since Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) had some thirteen wives it is entirely possible that he would be very familiar with miscarriages.
Modern science tells us that, the formation of human embryo is a seamless continuation from conception to birth; hence there are no hard- and- fast boundaries of stages as Quran describes. Quran describes 4 stages, which matches exactly with Galenic description of development of human embryo (which was proved wrong by modern science).
Creation of bones and clothing of bones with flesh: According to modern embryologists including Prof. Moore, the tissue from which bone originates, known as mesoderm, is the same tissue as that from which muscle (flesh) develops. Thus bone and muscles begin to develop simultaneously, rather than sequentially (as the Quran is telling us). Moreover, most of the muscle tissue that we humans have is laid down before birth, but bones continue to develop and calcify (strengthen with calcium) right into one's teenage years. So it would be more accurate if the Quran had said that muscles started to develop at the same time as bones, but completed their development earlier. The idea that bones are clothed with flesh is not only scientifically completely wrong/false, but was directly copied from the ancient Greek doctor Galen's hypothesis.
Also, the idea of saying: "made into bones and clothed the bones with muscle" came from the technique of making animal statue out of rod and cement or mud. People usually make the skeleton (out of rod or stick) first and, then cover it up with cement or mud. This is scarcely a scientific description of embryonic development. It is rather a description of an unlettered man.
IS RELIGION COMPULSIVE OR IS IT NOT?
Quran 02: 256 There is no Compulsion in religion....
OR
Quran 9: 29 Fight those who do not profess the true faith(Islam) till they pay the polltax (jiziya) with the hand of humility.
Quran 9: 5 Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolators wherever ye find them and take them captive, and besiege them and prepare for them each ambush....
Quran 47: 4 When you meet the unbelievers in the Jihad strike off their heads....
Quran 2: 191 And slay (kill) them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out such is the reward of those who suppress faith.
Quran 8: 65 O Apostle ! rouse the believers to the fight of....unbelievers.
Very often apologetics claim that, Islam is a religion of peace and there is no compulsion. Yet punishment of an apostate in Islam is, of course, death penalty.
In very many Ayats Allah claimed that, He has given this Quran in the easy and clear language so that, it will not be difficult to understand by the ordinary Arabs.
Quran 44: 58 Verily, We have made This Quran easy in the tongue, in order that they may give heed.
No matter which translated Quran we read, the Quranic materials remain the same to us and every sentence is self explanatory and it does not take a rocket scientist to comprehend what is the message Allah wanted to transmit for Arabs. Yet, bigot Mullahs will always blame translators for Quranic contradictions/errors/inconsistencies etc. and will try to find lame excuses to cover up Allah's ignorance.
Comments:
The Holy Quran is full of inaccuracies, contradictions, inconsistencies, redundancies, no chronology or chapters, grammatical errors, etc. One can find hundreds of contradictions/errors/inconsistencies in the Holy Quran. The above-mentioned Ayats are just selected samples from the Quran. But still it is a miracle to those who are blindfolded bigots.

SOME SCRIPTURAL READINGS TO READ LEADING UP TO THE MEMORIAL OF CHRIST:
LUKE 21;1-36, Now as he looked up, he saw the rich dropping their gifts into the treasury chests.a 2 Then he saw a needy widow drop in two small coins of very little value,b 3 and he said: “Truly I say to you that this poor widow put in more than they all did.c 4 For all of these put in gifts* out of their surplus, but she, out of her want,* put in all the means of living she had.”d5 Later, when some were speaking about the temple, how it was adorned with fine stones and dedicated things,e 6 he said: “As for these things that you now see, the days will come when not a stone will be left upon a stone and not be thrown down.”f 7 Then they questioned him, saying: “Teacher, when will these things actually be, and what will be the sign when these things are to occur?”g 8 He said: “Look out that you are not misled,h for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The due time is near.’ Do not go after them.i 9 Furthermore, when you hear of wars and disturbances,* do not be terrified. For these things must take place first, but the end will not occur immediately.”j10 Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation,k and kingdom against kingdom.l 11 There will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another food shortages and pestilences;m and there will be fearful sights and from heaven great signs.12 “But before all these things happen, people will lay their hands on you and persecute you,n handing you over to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and governors for the sake of my name.o 13 It will result in your giving a witness. 14 Therefore, resolve in your hearts not to rehearse beforehand how to make your defense,p 15 for I will give you words and wisdom that all your opposers together will not be able to resist or dispute.q 16 Moreover, you will be handed over* even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death,r 17 and you will be hated by all people because of my name.s 18 But not even a hair of your heads will perish.t 19 By your endurance you will preserve your lives.u20 “However, when you see Jerusalem surrounded by encamped armies,v then know that the desolating of her has drawn near.w 21 Then let those in Ju·deʹa begin fleeing to the mountains,x let those in the midst of her leave, and let those in the countryside not enter into her, 22 because these are days for meting out justice in order that all the things written may be fulfilled. 23 Woe to the pregnant women and those nursing a baby in those days!y For there will be great distress on the land* and wrath against this people. 24 And they will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive into all the nations;z and Jerusalem will be trampled on by the nations until the appointed times of the nations are fulfilled.a25 “Also, there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars,b and on the earth anguish of nations not knowing the way out because of the roaring of the sea and its agitation. 26 People will become faint out of fear and expectation of the things coming upon the inhabited earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.c 27 And then they will see the Son of mand coming in a cloud with power and great glory.e 28 But as these things start to occur, stand up straight and lift up your heads, because your deliverance is getting near.”29 With that he told them an illustration: “Notice the fig tree and all the other trees.f 30 When they are budding, you see it for yourselves and know that now the summer is near. 31 Likewise also you, when you see these things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near. 32 Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all things happen.g 33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.h34 “But pay attention to yourselves that your hearts never become weighed down with overeating and heavy drinkingi and anxieties of life,*j and suddenly that day be instantly upon you 35 as a snare.k For it will come upon all those dwelling on the face of the whole earth. 36 Keep awake,l then, all the time making supplicationm that you may succeed in escaping all these things that must occur and in standing before the Son of man.”
[1] SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY [589B]
The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe. Proverbs 29:25, [authorized King James Bible; AV]
Yes many out of fear of man will, Proverbs 29:26 - 27, [AV] “Many seek the ruler’s favour; but every man’s judgment cometh from the LORD. 27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.”
Remember what is written at 1 Peter 3:14 – 15, [AV] “But and if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; 15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:”

[2] PART EIGHT OF SERIES APPARENT BIBLE CONTRADICTIONS VS. REAL CONTRADICTIONS IN THE QURAN:
Additional Contradictions in the Quran by Quranic scholar, Syed Kamran Mirza
And no question do they bring to you but We reveal to you the truth and the best explanation" (Quran 25:33).
More Errors in the Quran - Section 1
But first a statement by Quranic scholar, Syed Kamran Mirza.
Are these any better? Look, my whole point of this is that I am tired of hearing how EVERY OTHER religious book out there is "wrong and has lies but the Quran is perfect" I see that no one stepped up to defend some of the other things that I posted.....like this (these aren't errors, I'll get back to those in a minute):
1. "Do not let non-Muslims enter mosques. They will go to hell." ( Repentance: 17 )
2. "O ye who believe! The non-Muslims are unclean. So let them not come near the Inviolable Place of Worship." (Repentance: 2)
3. "O ye who believe! Murder those of the disbelievers .... and let them find harshness in you." (Repentance: 123)
4. "Humiliate the non-Muslims to such an extent that they surrender and pay tribute." (Repentance: 29)
5. "O believers, do not treat your fathers and brothers as your friends, if they prefer unbelief to belief, whosoever of you takes them for friends, they are evil-doers." (Repentance: 20)
6. "Certainly, God is an enemy to the unbelievers." ( The Cow: 90 )
7. "God has cursed the unbelievers, and prepared for them a blazing hell." ( The Confederates 60 )
8. "Let not the believers take the unbelievers for friends.... whoso does that belongs not to God." (The House of Imram: 60)
9. "O believers, do not make friends with the Jews and Christians; ..whoso of you makes them his friend is one of them." (The Table: 55)
10. "The believers indeed are brothers." ( Apa rtments: 10 )
11. "Moslems are hard against the unbelievers, merciful to one another." (Victory: 25)
[[Note, exact quotes from 3 Qurans are being added to writings of Quranic scholar, Syed Kamran Mirza, to assist all in understanding his research product]]
What are some of those about? You aren't a good muslim if you are friends with a christian? If that is the case, how am I suppose to trust what someone is saying to me if I don't believe in their religion? It's kind of hard to "follow" something when it's telling me to "murder those of the disbelivers"
Oh well, like I said at the beginning of this......are these any better? I know a couple of them are the same but it's from a different place.
Error in the Quran
This article was written in answer to a statement that the bible contains error whereas the Quran, the muslim holy book, does not.
It highlights ten of the more difficult to explain contradictions within the Quran and will hopefully help get some of our muslim friends thinking, if you are a muslim I invite you to explain these contradictions and assure you that your refutations will be made public if this is what you require.
Please note however that I will not accept simple statements such as "you are wrong" as fact, answers must be supported by either convincing evidence or at least by a logical argument.
1) The Samaritan that never was:
Surah 20:85-87 and Sura 20:95-97 state that the calf worshipped by the Israelites was made by a Samaritan but neither the country of Samaria (where Samaritans come from) nor the term Samaritan existed during this time (the time of the Exodus) and so it is historical fact that Moses could NOT have used the term or had any dealings with a Samaritan.
Sura 20:85-87,
020.085
YUSUFALI: (Allah) said: "We have tested thy people in thy absence: the Samiri has led them astray."
PICKTHAL: He said: Lo! We have tried thy folk in thine absence, and As-Samiri hath misled them.
SHAKIR: He said: So surely We have tried your people after you, and the Samiri has led them astray.
020.086
YUSUFALI: So Moses returned to his people in a state of indignation and sorrow. He said: "O my people! did not your Lord make a handsome promise to you? Did then the promise seem to you long (in coming)? Or did ye desire that Wrath should descend from your Lord on you, and so ye broke your promise to me?"
PICKTHAL: Then Moses went back unto his folk, angry and sad. He said: O my people! Hath not your Lord promised you a fair promise? Did the time appointed then appear too long for you, or did ye wish that wrath from your Lord should come upon you, that ye broke tryst with me?
SHAKIR: So Musa returned to his people wrathful, sorrowing. Said he: O my people! did not your Lord promise you a goodly promise: did then the time seem long to you, or did you wish that displeasure from your Lord should be due to you, so that you broke (your) promise to me?
020.087
YUSUFALI: They said: "We broke not the promise to thee, as far as lay in our power: but we were made to carry the weight of the ornaments of the (whole) people, and we threw them (into the fire), and that was what the Samiri suggested.
PICKTHAL: They said: We broke not tryst with thee of our own will, but we were laden with burdens of ornaments of the folk, then cast them (in the fire), for thus As-Samiri proposed.
SHAKIR: They said: We did not break (our) promise to you of our own accord, but we were made to bear the burdens of the ornaments of the people, then we made a casting of them, and thus did the Samiri suggest.
Sura 20:95-97,
020.095
YUSUFALI: (Moses) said: "What then is thy case, O Samiri?"
PICKTHAL: (Moses) said: And what hast thou to say, O Samiri?
SHAKIR: He said: What was then your object, O Samiri?
020.096
YUSUFALI: He replied: "I saw what they saw not: so I took a handful (of dust) from the footprint of the Messenger, and threw it (into the calf): thus did my soul suggest to me."
PICKTHAL: He said: I perceived what they perceive not, so I seized a handful from the footsteps of the messenger, and then threw it in. Thus my soul commended to me.
SHAKIR: He said: I saw (Jibreel) what they did not see, so I took a handful (of the dust) from the footsteps of the messenger, then I threw it in the casting; thus did my soul commend to me
020.097
YUSUFALI: (Moses) said: "Get thee gone! but thy (punishment) in this life will be that thou wilt say, 'touch me not'; and moreover (for a future penalty) thou hast a promise that will not fail: Now look at thy god, of whom thou hast become a devoted worshipper: We will certainly (melt) it in a blazing fire and scatter it broadcast in the sea!"
PICKTHAL: (Moses) said: Then go! and lo! in this life it is for thee to say: Touch me not! and lo! there is for thee a tryst thou canst not break. Now look upon thy god of which thou hast remained a votary. Verily we will burn it and will scatter its dust over the sea.
SHAKIR: He said: Begone then, surely for you it will be in this life to say, Touch (me) not; and surely there is a threat for you, which shall not be made to fail to you, and look at your god to whose worship you kept (so long); we will certainly burn it, then we will certainly scatter it a (wide) scattering in the sea.
The term was not used by anyone until around 722 BC, hundreds of years after the exodus that the "error free" Quran describes in this sura.
History proves without question that the term and the country did NOT exist until HUNDREDS OF YEARS LATER.
Would a perfect god make this blatant historical error?

SOME SCRIPTURAL READINGS TO READ LEADING UP TO THE MEMORIAL OF CHRIST:
MARK 14:1-11, Now the Passovera and the Festival of Unleavened Breadb was two days later.c And the chief priests and the scribes were looking for a way to seize* him by cunning* and kill him;d 2 for they were saying: “Not at the festival; perhaps there might be an uproar of the people.”3 And while he was at Beth?a·ny dining* in the house of Simon the leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of perfumed oil, genuine nard, very expensive. She broke open the alabaster jar and began pouring it on his head.e 4 At this some said to one another indignantly: “Why has this perfumed oil been wasted? 5 For this perfumed oil could have been sold for more than 300 de·nar?i·if and the money given to the poor!” And they were greatly annoyed with* her. 6 But Jesus said: “Let her alone. Why do you try to make trouble for her? She did a fine deed toward me. 7 For you always have the poor with you, and you can do them good whenever you want to, but you will not always have me. 8 She did what she could; she poured perfumed oil on my body beforehand, in view of the burial. 9 Truly I say to you, wherever the good news is preached in all the world, what this woman did will also be told in memory of her.”l10 And Judas Is·car?i·ot, one of the Twelve, went off to the chief priests in order to betray him to them. 11 When they heard it, they were delighted and promised to give him silver money. So he began seeking an opportunity to betray him.

Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 1 Peter 5:5, [authorized King James Bible; AV]
Yes, we should humble ourselves before our creator as shown at 1 Peter 5:6, [AV] “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:” Remember,per Galations 6:7 – 10, [AV] “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.” Also, we should carefully pick our companions as testified to at Proverbs 13:20, [AV] “He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.”

[[Note, exact quotes from 3 Qurans are being added to writings of Quranic scholar, Syed Kamran Mirza, to assist all in understanding his research product]]
2) The miraculous journey:
Sura 17:1 of the quran reads....
"Glory to Allah Who did take his servant for a journey by night.
From the sacred mosque to THE FARTHEST MOSQUE".
Sura 17:1,
YUSUFALI: Glory to (Allah) Who did take His servant for a Journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the farthest Mosque, whose precincts We did bless,- in order that We might show him some of Our Signs: for He is the One Who heareth and seeth (all things).
PICKTHAL: Glorified be He Who carried His servant by night from the Inviolable Place of Worship to the Far distant place of worship the neighbourhood whereof We have blessed, that We might show him of Our tokens! Lo! He, only He, is the Hearer, the Seer.
SHAKIR: Glory be to Him Who made His servant to go on a night from the Sacred Mosque to the remote mosque of which We have blessed the precincts, so that We may show to him some of Our signs; surely He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
The furthest mosque (arabic name of which is Al-Masjid-ul-Aqs-a) didn`t exist until AFTER Muhammed died, Muhammed COULD NOT HAVE VISITED IT!
Of course if this was added AFTER his death then it would have been easy to make such a mistake, but muslims are adamant the quran has not changed....
This verse is said to have been revealed around 622 AD but then the place the mosque, mentioned by name (so no doubting which mosque is meant), is at did not exist and indeed the place it now sits was in CHRISTIAN hands then and not muslim.
And no temple existed there either.
Muslims have attempted to say that the name is incorrect, that the name in the Quran ("the farthest mosque") must simply be another mosque with that name or that it refers to the temple (which of course we know didn`t exist then either) - anything they can rather than admitting that the quran got it wrong.

SOME SCRIPTURAL READINGS TO READ LEADING UP TO THE MEMORIAL OF CHRIST:
MATTHEW 26:17-19, “ On the first day of the Unleavened Bread,n the disciples came to Jesus, saying: “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?” 18 He said: “Go into the city to So-and-so and say to him, ‘The Teacher says: “My appointed time is near; I will celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your home.”19 So the disciples did as Jesus instructed them and prepared for the Passover.”
MARK 14:12-16, “Now on the first day of the Unleavened Bread, when they customarily offered up the Passover sacrifice,his disciples said to him: “Where do you want us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?” 13 With that he sent two of his disciples and said to them: “Go into the city, and a man carrying an earthenware water jar will meet you. Follow him, 14 and wherever he goes inside, say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says: “Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’ 15 And he will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Prepare it for us there.” 16 So the disciples went out, and they entered the city and found it just as he said to them, and they prepared for the Passover.”
LUKE 22:7-13, “That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and let my servant be healed. For I too am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me, and I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.” 9 When Jesus heard these things, he was amazed at him, and he turned to the crowd following him and said: “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found so great a faith.”10 And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slave in good health.11 Soon afterward he traveled to a city called Naʹin, and his disciples and a large crowd were traveling with him. 12 As he got near the gate of the city, why look! there was a dead man being carried out, the only son of his mother.e Besides, she was a widow. A considerable crowd from the city was also with her. 13 When the Lord caught sight of her, he was moved with pity for her,f and he said to her: “Stop weeping.” 14 With that he approached and touched the bier,* and the bearers stood still. Then he said: “Young man, I say to you, get up!”15 And the dead man sat up and started to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.”

3) Two of everything:
Sura 51:49 of the quran tells us that....
"of everything we have created PAIRS that ye may receive instruction"
Sura 51:49,
YUSUFALI: And of every thing We have created pairs: That ye may receive instruction.
PICKTHAL: And all things We have created by pairs, that haply ye may reflect.
SHAKIR: And of everything We have created pairs that you may be mindful.
The quran claims to be from allah and here allah tells us that everything was made in pairs (incidentally muslims say they worship just one god, allah, yet here the quran says "WE have created" and not "I have created"?).
Guess allah didn`t make everything after all then, after all there is gravity which keeps us down - but no anti-gravity which pulls us up.
Bdelloid Rotifers (I`m not a scientist so hope I`ve spelled this right are a class of life that have apparently, according to the experts, been pair-less for millions of years.
I will not detail whole lists of things here that are not made in pairs such as certain types of plant, bacterium, etc etera as I`m sure most will know of at least one example and even one disproves the qurans claim.

[2] PART OF SERIES APPARENT BIBLE CONTRADICTIONS VS. REAL CONTRADICTIONS IN THE QURAN: [NOTE, THIS SERIES IS NOT IN MATHEMATICAL ORDER SINCE IT IS PRESENTED IN ORDER OF INTEREST}.
SOME SCRIPTURAL READINGS TO READ LEADING UP TO THE MEMORIAL OF CHRIST:
JOHN 19:1-42, “Pilate then took Jesus and scourged him. 2 And the soldiers braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head and clothed him with a purple robe,b3 and they kept coming up to him and saying: “Greetings, you King of the Jews!” They also kept slapping him in the face.c4 Pilate went outside again and said to them: “See! I bring him outside to you in order for you to know that I find no fault in him.” 5 So Jesus came outside, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them: “Look! The man! 6 However, when the chief priests and the officers saw him, they shouted: “To the stake with him! To the stake with him!”*Pilate said to them: “Take him yourselves and execute him, for I do not find any fault in him.”f 7 The Jews answered him: “We have a law, and according to the law he ought to die, because he made himself God’s son.”8 When Pilate heard what they were saying, he became even more fearful, 9 and he entered the governor’s residence again and said to Jesus: “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.i10 So Pilate said to him: “Are you refusing to speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you and I have authority to execute you?” 11 Jesus answered him: “You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been granted to you from above. This is why the man who handed me over to you has greater sin.”12 For this reason Pilate kept trying to find a way to release him, but the Jews shouted: “If you release this man, you are not a friend of Caesar. Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against* Caesar.”k13 Then Pilate, after hearing these words, brought Jesus outside, and he sat down on a judgment seat in a place called the Stone Pavement, but in Hebrew, [i]Gabʹba·tha[/i]. 14 Now it was the day of Preparationl of the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews: “See! Your king! 15 However, they shouted: “Take him away! Take him away! To the stake with him!”*Pilate said to them: “Shall I execute your king?” The chief priests answered: “We have no king but Caesar.” 16 Then he handed him over to them to be executed on the stake.mSo they took charge of Jesus. 17 Bearing the torture stake for himself, he went out to the so-called Skull Place, which is called [i]Golʹgo·tha[/i] in Hebrew.o18 There they nailed him to the stakep alongside two other men, one on each side, with Jesus in the middle.q19 Pilate also wrote a title and put it on the torture stake. It was written: “Jesus the Naz·a·reneʹ the King of the Jews.” 20 Many of the Jews read this title, because the place where Jesus was nailed to the stake was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek. 21 However, the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate: “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but that he said, ‘I am King of the Jews.’” 22 Pilate answered: “What I have written, I have written.”23 Now when the soldiers had nailed Jesus to the stake, they took his outer garments and divided them into four parts, one for each soldier, and they also took the inner garment. But the inner garment was without a seam, being woven from top to bottom. 24 So they said to one another: “Let us not tear it, but let us cast lots over it to decide whose it will be.”sThis was to fulfill the scripture: “They divided my garments among themselves, and they cast lots for my clothing. So the soldiers actually did these things.25 By the torture stake of Jesus, however, there were standing his mother and his mother’s sister; Mary the wife of Cloʹpas and Mary Magʹda·lene.v26 So when Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he lovedw
standing nearby, he said to his mother: “Woman, see! Your son!” 27 Next he said to the disciple: “See! Your mother!” And from that hour on, the disciple took her into his own home.28 After this, when Jesus knew that by now all things had been accomplished, in order to fulfill the scripture he said: “I am thirsty.” 29 A jar was sitting there full of sour wine. So they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop stalk and held it up to his mouth. 30 When he had received the sour wine, Jesus said: “It has been accomplished!”zand bowing his head, he gave up his spirit.31 Since it was the day of Preparation, so that the bodies would not remain on the torture stakesc on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath day was a great one),d the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken away. 32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and those of the other man who was on a stake alongside him. 33 But on coming to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead, so they did not break his legs. 34 But one of the soldiers jabbed his side with a spear,e and immediately blood and water came out. 35 And the one who has seen it has given this witness, and his witness is true, and he knows that what he says is true, so that you also may believe.f36 In fact, these things took place for the scripture to be fulfilled: “Not a bone of his will be broken.” 37 And again, a different scripture says: “They will look to the one whom they pierced.”38 Now after these things, Joseph of Ar·i·ma·theʹa, who was a disciple of Jesus but a secret one because of his fear of the Jews,i asked Pilate if he could take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took the body away.j39 Nic·o·deʹmus,k the man who had come to him in the night the first time, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about a hundred pounds. 40 So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices,m according to the burial custom of the Jews. 41 Incidentally, there was a garden at the place where he was executed,* and in the garden was a new tombo in which no one had ever yet been laid. 42 Because it was the day of Preparationp of the Jews and the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.”
[1] SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY [592B]
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. Genesis 3:5 – 6, [authorized King James Bible; AV]
Pride and a feeling of wanting to be more in charge led Eve to disobey Almighty God (YHWH) and ultimately leading her husband put all man under the curse of inherited sin. This is made clear at Psalms 91; , [AV] “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.” Yes, He shall deliver all seeking to do his will as shown by Genesis 6:5 - 8, [AV] “And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.” The Creator delivered Noah and his family because they were doing his will and they found favor with Him.

4) Alexander the great - the muslim BEFORE Muhammed:
We all know of the infamous Alexander the great, he happened to think he was divine and had statues erected to himself among his historical achievements.
But did you know he was a muslim?
Surah 18 tells us of Zul-Quarnain, who muslims have always claimed is Alexander the great.
Sura 18:83,
YUSUFALI: They ask thee concerning Zul-qarnain. Say, "I will rehearse to you something of his story."
PICKTHAL: They will ask thee of Dhu'l-Qarneyn. Say: I shall recite unto you a remembrance of him.
SHAKIR: And they ask you about Zulqarnain. Say: I will recite to you an account of him.
And,
Sura 18.86,
YUSUFALI: Until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it set in a spring of murky water: Near it he found a People: We said: "O Zul-qarnain! (thou hast authority,) either to punish them, or to treat them with kindness."
PICKTHAL: Till, when he reached the setting-place of the sun, he found it setting in a muddy spring, and found a people thereabout. We said: O Dhu'l-Qarneyn! Either punish or show them kindness.
SHAKIR: Until when he reached the place where the sun set, he found it going down into a black sea, and found by it a people. We said: O Zulqarnain! either give them a chastisement or do them a benefit.
And,
Sura 18.94,
YUSUFALI: They said: "O Zul-qarnain! the Gog and Magog (People) do great mischief on earth: shall we then render thee tribute in order that thou mightest erect a barrier between us and them?
PICKTHAL: They said: O Dhu'l-Qarneyn! Lo! Gog and Magog are spoiling the land. So may we pay thee tribute on condition that thou set a barrier between us and them?
SHAKIR: They said: O Zulqarnain! surely Gog and Magog make mischief in the land. Shall we then pay you a tribute on condition that you should raise a barrier between us and them
According to muslims he was a great muslim, a follower of one god and apparently lived to old age.
Alexander the great, however, died at 33 years old after having put up statues to lots of different gods and even thought he himself was a god.
Clearly he was not a muslim, despite their claims, and he did not live to old age.

[1] SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY [594B]
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Revelation 12:9, [authorized King James Bible; AV]
Yes, and his appearance as revealed at Revelation 12:3, [AV] “And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.” He is the personification of evil which first appeared in the garden and is described at 2 Corinthians 11:3, [AV] “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.” Even the Son of God was tempted to do wrong as shown at Matthew 4:1, [AV] “Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.” Unfortunately he has been quite successful in blinding the minds of the greater number of earth’s inhabitants as testified to at 2 Corinthians 4:4, [AV] “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”

5) The amazing tale of pharoah:
We all know of the infamous pharoah and how he perished chasing after the Israelites.
But did you know that allah killed him and also let him live?
Surah 10:92 tells us that allah saved pharoah and let him live but the same story elsewhere in the quran (Suras 28:40, 17:103 and 43:55) say that actually pharoah drowned!
Sura 10:92,
YUSUFALI: "This day shall We save thee in the body, that thou mayest be a sign to those who come after thee! but verily, many among mankind are heedless of Our Signs!"
PICKTHAL: But this day We save thee in thy body that thou mayst be a portent for those after thee. Lo! most of mankind are heedless of Our portents.
SHAKIR: But We will this day deliver you with your body that you may be a sign to those after you, and most surely the majority of the people are heedless to Our
Compare with,
Sura 28:40,
YUSUFALI: So We seized him and his hosts, and We flung them into the sea: Now behold what was the end of those who did wrong!
PICKTHAL: Therefor We seized him and his hosts, and abandoned them unto the sea. Behold the nature of the consequence for evil-doers!
SHAKIR: So We caught hold of him and his hosts, then We cast them into the sea, and see how was the end of the unjust.
And,
Sura 17:103,
YUSUFALI: So he resolved to remove them from the face of the earth: but We did drown him and all who were with him.
PICKTHAL: And he wished to scare them from the land, but We drowned him and those with him, all together.
SHAKIR: So he desired to destroy them out of the earth, but We drowned him and those with him all together;
And,
Sura 43:55,
YUSUFALI: When at length they provoked Us, We exacted retribution from them, and We drowned them all.
PICKTHAL: So, when they angered Us, We punished them and drowned them every one.
SHAKIR: Then when they displeased Us, We inflicted a retribution on them, so We drowned them all together,
Now if there is NO ERROR in the quran then how can pharoah have died in one Sura yet not died in the others?
Still no contradiction? Let’s get real.

[1] SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY [595B]
But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, Matthew 24:37 – 38, [authorized King James Bible; AV]
Yes, our day is a critical time as we are living in the time of the conclusion of the last days of which Luke 17:26 – 27, [AV] “And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.” Testified it shall be as in the days of Noah. And like the days of Noah, the greater number are not taking heed or noting the critical times.

Additional Contradictions in the Quran by Quranic scholar, Syed Kamran Mirza
And no question do they bring to you but We reveal to you the truth and the best explanation" (Quran 25:33).
More Errors in the Quran - Section 7
[[Note, exact quotes from 3 Qurans are being added to writings of Quranic scholar, Syed Kamran Mirza, to assist all in understanding his research product]]
7) Allah tells Moses about following Jesus gospel - 1000 years too early:
The Injil (or gospel) is what muslims say was given to Jesus.
Jesus was born about 1400 or so years AFTER Moses.
Sura 7:157 reads "Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (Scriptures), in the Torah AND THE GOSPEL".
Sura 7:157,
YUSUFALI: "Those who follow the messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures),- in the law and the Gospel;- for he commands them what is just and forbids them what is evil; he allows them as lawful what is good (and pure) and prohibits them from what is bad (and impure); He releases them from their heavy burdens and from the yokes that are upon them. So it is those who believe in him, honour him, help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him,- it is they who will prosper."
PICKTHAL: Those who follow the messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write, whom they will find described in the Torah and the Gospel (which are) with them. He will enjoin on them that which is right and forbid them that which is wrong. He will make lawful for them all good things and prohibit for them only the foul; and he will relieve them of their burden and the fetters that they used to wear. Then those who believe in him, and honour him, and help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him: they are the successful.
SHAKIR: Those who follow the Messenger-Prophet, the Ummi, whom they find written down with them in the Taurat and the Injeel (who) enjoins them good and forbids them evil, and makes lawful to them the good things and makes unlawful to them impure things, and removes from them their burden and the shackles which were upon them; so (as for) those who believe in him and honor him and help him, and follow the light which has been sent down with him, these it is that are the successful.
The quran makes it clear Jesus was given the gospel but here allah tells Moses that the people of that time could find Muhammed in Jesus` gospel - when it wouldn`t be knowen for well over another THOUSAND years.
The only way a muslim seems to find out of this one is to say it refers to the gospel, as we know, but that it is telling them it is yet to be revealed - unfortunately it is quite evident that allahs speech here is in the present tense to them, i.e. he is addressing them as if it already exists "WHOM THEY FIND MENTIONED" not "who they WILL find mentioned".
The incredible changing man:
Did you know that allah created man, according to the quran from one thing.
[1] A blood clot (Sura 96:1-2).
Sura 96:1-2,
96.1
YUSUFALI: Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created-
PICKTHAL: Read: In the name of thy Lord Who createth,
SHAKIR: Read in the name of your Lord Who created.
96.2
YUSUFALI: Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood:
PICKTHAL: Createth man from a clot.
SHAKIR: He created man from a clot.
[2] ....and water (Suras 21:30, 24:45 and 25:54).
Sura 21:30,
YUSUFALI: Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of creation), before we clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?
PICKTHAL: Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were of one piece, then We parted them, and we made every living thing of water? Will they not then believe?
SHAKIR: Do not those who disbelieve see that the heavens and the earth were closed up, but We have opened them; and We have made of water everything living, will they not then believe?
And,
Sura 24:45,
YUSUFALI: And Allah has created every animal from water: of them there are some that creep on their bellies; some that walk on two legs; and some that walk on four. Allah creates what He wills for verily Allah has power over all things.
PICKTHAL: Allah hath created every animal of water. Of them is (a kind) that goeth upon its belly and (a kind) that goeth upon two legs and (a kind) that goeth upon four. Allah createth what He will. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.
SHAKIR: And Allah has created from water every living creature: so of them is that which walks upon its belly, and of them is that which walks upon two feet, and of them is that which walks upon four; Allah creates what He pleases; surely Allah has power over all things.
And,
Sura 25:54,
YUSUFALI: It is He Who has created man from water: then has He established relationships of lineage and marriage: for thy Lord has power (over all things).
PICKTHAL: And He it is Who hath created man from water, and hath appointed for him kindred by blood and kindred by marriage; for thy Lord is ever Powerful.
SHAKIR: And He it is Who has created man from the water, then He has made for him blood relationship and marriage relationship, and your Lord is powerful.
[3] ....and clay (Sura 15:26).
Sura 15:26,
YUSUFALI: We created man from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape;
PICKTHAL: Verily We created man of potter's clay of black mud altered,
SHAKIR: And certainly We created man of clay that gives forth sound, of black mud fashioned in shape.
[4] ....and dust (Suras 3:59, 30:20 and 35:11).
Sura 3:59,
YUSUFALI: The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be". And he was.
PICKTHAL: Lo! the likeness of Jesus with Allah is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust, then He said unto him: Be! and he is.
SHAKIR: Surely the likeness of Isa is with Allah as the likeness of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him, Be, and he was.
And,
Sura 30:20,
YUSUFALI: Among His Signs in this, that He created you from dust; and then,- behold, ye are men scattered (far and wide)!
PICKTHAL: And of His signs is this: He created you of dust, and behold you human beings, ranging widely!
SHAKIR: And one of His signs is that He created you from dust, then lo! you are mortals (who) scatter.
And,
Sura 35:11,
YUSUFALI: And Allah did create you from dust; then from a sperm-drop; then He made you in pairs. And no female conceives, or lays down (her load), but with His knowledge. Nor is a man long-lived granted length of days, nor is a part cut off from his life, but is in a Decree (ordained). All this is easy to Allah.
PICKTHAL: Allah created you from dust, then from a little fluid, then He made you pairs (the male and female). No female beareth or bringeth forth save with His knowledge. And no-one groweth old who groweth old, nor is aught lessened of his life, but it is recorded in a Book, Lo! that is easy for Allah.
SHAKIR: And Allah created you of dust, then of the life-germ, then He made you pairs; and no female bears, nor does she bring forth, except with His knowledge; and no one whose life is lengthened has his life lengthened, nor is aught diminished of one's life, but it is all in a book; surely this is easy to Allah.
[5] ....and nothing (Sura 19:67).
Sura 19:67,
YUSUFALI: But does not man call to mind that We created him before out of nothing?
PICKTHAL: Doth not man remember that We created him before, when he was naught?
SHAKIR: Does not man remember that We created him before, when he was nothing?
Believe it or not there really are these FIVE different accounts of what man was made from.
Still no contradiction in the quran?
