Qur'anic Problems

"The great merit of Muhammad," says Osborn, "is that among a people given up to idolatry, he rose to vivid perception of the unity of God and preached this great doctrine with firmness and constancy amid ridicule and persecution." "Being also a master in eloquence," says Sir William Muir, "his language was cast in the purest and most persuasive style of Arabian oratory."

The sinfulness of man, the necessity of faith, the duty of prayer, and the judgment of all men at the last day, are other truths which Muhammad forcefully taught. The Fatiha is a prayer which can be adopted by all much like the Lord’s Prayer or the Twenty-third Psalm.



Exaggeration in the Qur'an

The simple narratives of the Bible are distorted and magnified to an incredible degree in the Muslim Qur'an. In the Surat al-Baqarah (The Cow) 2:259, for example, the Qur'an says Ezra, or ‘Uzair, and his all died "for a hundred years" and were then raised to life.

Or (bethink the of) the like of him who, passing by a township which had fallen into utter ruin, exclaimed: How shall Allah give this township life after its death? And Allah made him die a hundred years, then brought him back to life. He said: How long hast thou tarried? (The man) said: I have tarried a day or part of a day. (He) said: Nay, but thou hast tarried for a hundred years. Just look at thy food and drink which have rotted! Look at thine ass! And, that We may make thee a token unto mankind, look at the bones, how We adjust them and then cover them with flesh! And when (the matter) became clear unto him, he said: I know now that Allah is able to do all things.

The Bible says that God gave the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai. Abodah Sarah, a second century A.D. Jewish fable, states,

I was raised (by shaking it from its roots) the Mountain (Sinai) to be a covering over you as it were, a lid.

In the Qur'an we read in Surat al-A’raf (The Heights) 7:171 and in Surat al-Ma’idah (The Table Spread) 5:60:

And when We shook the Mount above them as it were a covering, and they supposed that it was going to fall upon them (and We said): Hold fast that which We have given you, and remember that which is therein, that ye may ward off (evil). Shall I tell thee of a worse (case) than theirs for retribution with Allah? Worse (is the case of him) whom Allah hath cursed, him on whom His wrath hath fallen! Worse is he of whose sort Allah hath turned some to apes and swine, and who serveth idols. Such are in worse plight and further astray from the plain road.



Contradiction of Science

In Surat al-Kahf (The Cave) 18:86, it is said:

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: ODhu’Qarneyn! Either punish or show them kindness.

Only the superstitious in the age of Muhammad believed that the sun would ever set in a muddy spring!



Islamic Fatalism

Muslims believe that whatever has or shall come to pass in this world, whether it be good or bad, proceeds entirely from the divine will and has been irrevocable fixed and recorded on a preserved tablet.
It is true, as already stated, that some passages of the Qur'an seem to attribute freedom to man, while others teach a clear and distinct fatalism. The followers of Muhammad have no knowledge of God as a loving Father who has made us free moral beings. Surat al-Taubah (Repentance) 9:52 reads:

Say: Can ye await for us aught save one of two good things (death or victory in Allah’s way)? while we await for you that Allah will afflict you with a doom from Him or at our hands. Await then! Lo! we are awaiting with you.
