I have looked at the skeptic annotated qur'an and found most contradictions debatable/about bad translations/interpretations/blatantly false, but this, i can't refute. Anyone with explanations ?
Don't answer if don't know please, i don't want mental gymnasts and people who follow rumors and speak of what they do not know to pollute the topic. Just plain logic and knowledge in pursuit of truth, and
no hate.
Heaven then earth79:27 Are you a more powerful creation than the heaven which He built?
79:28 He raised its height, and perfected it.
79:29 And He covered its night and brought out its morning.
79:30 And the land after that He spread out.
79:31 He brought forth from it its water and pasture.
79:32 And the mountains He fixed firmly. Earth then heaven41:9 Say: "You are rejecting the One who has created the earth in two days, and you set up equals with Him. That is the Lord of the worlds."
41:10 And He placed in it stabilizers from above it, and He blessed it and established its provisions in proportion in four days, to satisfy those who ask.
41:11 Then He settled to the heaven, while it was still smoke, and He said to it, and to the earth: "Come willingly or unwillingly." They said: "We come willingly."
41:12 Thus, He then made them into seven heavens in two days, and He inspired to every heaven its affair. And We adorned the lowest heaven with lamps, and for protection. Such is the design of the Noble, the Knowledgeable.Second,
people here say that Injil is indeed an arabic word and not greek words(good news), and that the Injil is not the gospel, and that Isa is not Jesus, but i found a post that make this position very hard to defend, which i am quoting here (by "youssef4342") :
Quotemy current belief, is that Isa is Jesus or Yeshua...
1) For the name, sometimes names are changed slightly from one language to another. Consider the Arabic Elias... This would be similar to the NT form of Elias... However the correct version in Hebrew I'd Eliyahu.... Yet both are the same people in the Hebrew bible, the NT, and the Quran... He was against those who worshiped Baal, an Idol. With Jesus it is similar. His name is close to Joshua in Hebrew or Yahushua, in the Christian Arabic form Yasoo3.
2) for the Marry, she was not the literal sister of Aaron the brother Moses. The Quran cites that Isa was sent after the messengers have been sent... Consider the wife of ZakariYAH (I think it was she)... She was called a daughter of Aaron... Does that make her the literal daughter of Aaron.
3) consider that both Jesus and ISA are believed to have been the messiahs sent to the children of Israel, and that their narrative of ZakariYAH and his son yahya/John the Baptist is also similar, and that the Quran states that John was confirming a word from God, and that Jesus was also a word from God (kalimat Minho).... And the NT of John the babtist confirming the upcoming of Jesus as a role baptizing with the HOLY spirit....Which in both the Quran and the NT are cited to have aided Jesus/ISA in their Role. moreover, both scriptures cite of new laws given by Jesus/Isa of making lawful what was not and also the mention of the GOSPEL/Injil as a scripture...
4) consider the striking similarity of the description of those who followed ISA in the Quran as being merciful/compassionate, close to the believers in friendship, and that they don't become/fall to arrogance... Compare that with Jesus's teachings of loving thy neighbor, forgive that you may be forgiven, and whoever exalts himself will be debased.
5) Consider Jesus and Isa's Miracles: raising the dead, feeding thousands (sura 5 & feasts), resurrecting the dead, healing the blind, and leprous etc.
6) Consider the end of Jesus & Isa: both are believed/supposed to the point of view of the witnesses to have been killed and crucified.
7) consider the historical perspective of some nazareens/Christians who attributed Jesus/Isa the messiah as the son of the Almighty, and brought up the trinity doctrine in the Quran. Also of how some have taken/worshiped him and his mother as god figures besides the Almighty true God.
Consider that Both Jews and nazareens/Christians are cited to us in the Quran as reading the same scripture, and yet criticizing each other for not having a basis. Also of how Isa's followers are on top of the Jews (in dominance/majority etc). Also of how the followers of ISA are broken up into sects where animosity/hatred has been wedged between them.
9) Consider the narrative perspective of the Quran, the Hebrew bible, and the NT, of the coming of Jesus/Isa... In the Quran Isa is cited to have come after the messengers... The Gospels cite the same, and no where in the Hebrew bible do we hear of a Jesus/Isa/messiah figure who was present that did miracles and brought new laws and was allegedly to have been crucified. Moreover, the Quran is cited to have been revealed after the coming of Jesus in sura 2, (read the narrative of the children of israel from 2:40 and on until you get to Isa, then the revealing of the Quran)...
10) consider that Jesus/Isa in both the NT and the Quran spake of an upcoming helper/parcelete and in the Quran as a messenger Called Ahmed.... Again read the narrative of the children of Israel from 2:40 and on till you get to the mention of Jesus and directly after it cites of how a book came/was revealed (ie the Quran)...the chronology fits closely with Jesus and Isa
Otherwise, bring an 1) alternative messiah Figure, who 2) was sent to the children of Israel and 3) did miracles and 4) was assumed to have been crucified by the witnesses and 5) was attributed by some of his later followers as the son of the Almighty and 6) was attributed as a figure in the trinity doctrine, and 7) his true followers are compassionate/merciful, and are close to the believers, and they are broken up into sects which might have animosity/hatred between them, and 9) are on top of the Jews (in dominance) and 10) still read the Hebrew scriptures (translated or not), and 11) say that the Jews are on no bases and Bice versa and 12) taken/worship isa and his mother as god figures besides the Almighty true God.....
It would be quite farfetched to say that Isa is not Jesus and that the gospel is not the injil (what would be that injil that is mentioned several times? Why would the gospels would not be mentioned as they are the scriptures of christians ? Wikipedia :
The Arabic word Injil (إنجيل) as found in Islamic texts, and now used also by Muslim non-Arabs and Arab non-Muslims, is derived from the Syriac Aramaic word awongaleeyoon (ܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ) found in the Peshitta (Syriac translation of the Bible),[1] which in turn derives from the Greek word euangelion (Εὐαγγέλιον)[2] of the originally Greek language New Testament, where it means "good news" (from Greek "Εὐ αγγέλιον"; Old English "gōdspel"
Please note also that Mary in the gospel is not called Miriam, but Mariam (the aramaic form of Miriam). She is also called Mariam in the Qur'an.
Now, if Jesus is Isa :-it is quite striking than his mother Mariam has a father called Imran and a brother called Harun (Aaron), while the Miriam of the Torah is also sister to Aaron and daughter to Amram. This may be a confusion between Miriam from the Torah and Mariam from the gospels.
If anyone has the answer please share
