Errors in the Quran: Response to Muslim Accusation

The Muslim Islam S Religion posted supposed contradictions in the Bible, which we promptly debunked with PROOF that THOSE are just LIES and BLACK PROPAGANDA.

We gave proof EXPLANATIONS of the supposed CONTRADICTING BIBLE VERSES. The explanations can be found in this link: http://sagot-sa-balik-islam.blogspot.com/p/bible-contradictions-answered.html

A. QURAN ERRORS

We will return the favor to Islam S Religion. We will show THREE ERRORS in the QURAN which MUSLIMS CANNOT REFUTE or EXPLAIN.

1. QURAN 19:28 = MARY "SISTER OF AARON." The BLESSED VIRGIN MARY was NOT the "SISTER OF AARON." They LIVED CENTURIES APART.

2. QURAN 22:52 = SATAN THREW FALSEHOODS IN THE QURAN. This THROWS OUT the claim of Muslims that the QURAN IS THE "PURE WORD OF GOD."

3. QURAN 79:30 = EARTH IS "EGG-SHAPED," specifically an OSTRICH EGG. The EGG while SPHERICAL is ELONGATED. The EARTH is MORE LIKE a CIRCLE.

B. MUSLIM RESPONSES:

1. QURAN 19:28, the VIRGIN MARY is NOT the "SISTER OF AARON."

The BLESSED VIRGIN lived in NEW TESTAMENT TIMES. AARON lived in the OLD TESTAMENT. So, THEY CAN NEVER be BROTHER and SISTER.

NO MUSLIM could EXPLAIN that ERROR.

A. Among the responses they give is that from their PROPHET MUHAMMAD, who HIMSELF TOLD QURAN 19:28 to them.

Citing Sahih Muslim 5326, Muslims quote their prophet, who purportedly said: "The (people of the old age) used to give names (to their persons) after the names of Apostles and pious persons who had gone before them."

Islam's PROPHET NEVER DENIED the UNDERSTANDING that MARY was the BIOLOGICAL "SISTER OF AARON." For him, the "BROTHER" of the VIRGIN MARY was NAMED after the AARON of the OLD TESTAMENT.

The problem is: the BLESSED VIRGIN MARY DID NOT HAVE A BIOLOGICAL BROTHER. So, the EXPLANATION GIVEN by the PROPHET of ISLAM DOES NOT HOLD WATER. IT ITSELF is based on a WRONG PREMISE.

B. Another explanation given by Muslims is that the term "SISTER OF AARON" was used as a FIGURE OF SPEECH, referring to "RELATIVE" or "DESCENDANT."

While MARY and AARON were RELATED, MARY COULD NOT BE CALLED "SISTER OF AARON," because that REFERS TO THEM BEING of ONE SET of PARENTS.

As RELATIVES, MARY is a DESCENDANT of AARON. So, "SISTER" is NOT the TERM, but "DAUGHTER" to show that AARON WAS AHEAD of MARY, an ANCESTOR.

So, THIS REPLY of MUSLIMS also DO NOT EXPLAIN AWAY the ERROR in QURAN 19:28. The ERROR REMAINS.

2. QURAN 22:52 reads:
"Never did We send a Messenger or a Prophet before you but when he did recite the revelation or narrated or spoke, Shaitan (Satan) threw (some falsehood) in it. But Allah abolishes that which Shaitan (Satan) throws in. Then Allah establishes His Revelations. And Allah is All-Knower, All-Wise:"

In the verse, the QURAN ADMITS that "when he did recite the revelation or narrated or spoke, Shaitan (Satan) threw (some falsehood) in it."

So, by the ADMISSION of the QURAN, "SOME FALSEHOOD" was THROWN INTO the "REVELATION" RECEIVED by MUSLIMS.

The QURAN, it turns out, IS NOT "THE PURE WORD OF GOD," as ADMITTED by QURAN 22:52 itself.

A. Muslims try to downplay the ADMISSION of QURAN 22:52 by saying "READ THE LAST PART of the SURAH (VERSE). It says: "But Allah abolishes that which Shaitan (Satan) throws in. Then Allah establishes His Revelations. And Allah is All-Knower, All-Wise:"

That response claims that ALLAH REMOVED what SATAN THREW IN the REVELATION. (We should remember that Quran 22:52 AFFIRMS that SATAN HAD THROWN IN the FALSEHOOD. It is in the PAST TENSE. ALREADY DONE)

The FACT that MUSLIMS CANNOT DENY is THAT QURAN 22:52 ADMITS that SATAN MANAGED to THROW FALSEHOOD in the REVELATIONS GIVEN to MUSLIMS.

And the QUESTION that MUSLIMS CANNOT ANSWER is: WHAT and WHERE are the FALSEHOODS of SATAN that ALLAH ABOLISHED? Or HAVE THEY BEEN REALLY REMOVED?
.
.
.
3. QURAN 79:30. MANY MODERN "MEANINGS" (TRANSLATIONS) of the QURAN NO LONGER USE the WORDS "EGG-SHAPED," ARABIC "DAHAHA." They prefer to use the words "SPREAD OUT."

Why? Is it because THEY KNOW that the EARTH is NOT "SHAPED LIKE AN EGG" and that QURAN 79:30 is WRONG?

Instead of EXPLAINING the ERROR in QURAN 79:30, current ISLAMIC SCHOLARS just COVER IT UP.

Perhaps, INSTEAD of REPEATING LIES and BLACK PROPAGANDA AGAINST the BIBLE, Islam S Religion--and OTHER MUSLIMS LIKE HIM--should LOOK for CREDIBLE and VALID EXPLANATIONS to the ERRORS in the QURAN.

Their attempt at FABRICATING FALSE CLAIMS against the BIBLE only leads CHRISTIANS to LOOK INTO the QURAN and DISCOVER ERRORS in their HOLY BOOK.

Muslim exposes error in Quran 19:28

I WELCOME debates and discussions with MUSLIMS who ATTACK the BIBLE, CHRISTIANITY and the LORD JESUS. These debates expose more about Islam than their intended targets.

One thing exposed is the ERROR in QURAN 19:28, which a MUSLIM named BEN LANCUYAN, AFFIRMED--wittingly or unwittingly.

Quran 19:28 is about Islam's version of the Virgin Mary, who the verse (ayah) described as the "SISTER OF AARON."

The verse reads, starting from Quran 19:27 (from the Meanings of the Quran by Muhammad Mohsin Khan):

Then she brought him (the baby) to her people, carrying him. They said: "O Mary! Indeed you have brought a thing Fariyy (a mighty thing). [Tafsir Al-Tabari]

"O sister (i.e. the like) of Harun (Aaron)! Your father was not a man who used to commit adultery, nor your mother was an unchaste woman."

MARY, 'SISTER OF AARON'

In Quran 19:28, it is CLEAR that "Mary," the mother of the Islamic Jesus (Isa), is described as the "SISTER OF AARON."

Anyone who knows BIBLICAL HISTORY knows that Mary is NOT the "SISTER OF AARON."

Mary lived in New Testament times (6BC to 100AD), while Aaron lived in the Old Testament--some 1,200 up to 1,600 years earlier.

For those who don't know Aaron, he was the brother of Moses, who liberated the Israelites from Egypt, sometime in 1600BC to 1200BC.

The time difference makes the claim of Quran 19:28 as IMPOSSIBLE.

So, to people who know HISTORY and the BIBLE, there is a SERIOUS ERROR in Quran 19:28.

MARY is NOT the SISTER of AARON. It is that simple.

MARY, 'DAUGHTER OF IMRAN'

The claim of QURAN 19:28 that MARY is the BIOLOGICAL or LITERAL "SISTER OF AARON" is BOLSTERED by the claim of other verses in the Quran, specifically QURAN 66:12.

QURAN 66:12 states:

"And Maryam (Mary), the daughter of 'Imran who guarded her chastity. And We breathed into (the sleeve of her shirt or her garment) through Our Ruh [i.e. Jibril (Gabriel) ], and she testified to the truth of the Words of her Lord [i.e. believed in the Words of Allah: "Be!" - and he was; that is 'Îsa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary) as a Messenger of Allah], and (also believed in) His Scriptures, and she was of the Qanitun (i.e. obedient to Allah) ."

Who is IMRAN?

IMRAN is the Arabic equivalent of the name AMRAM, the FATHER of AARON in the OLD TESTAMENT.

Exodus 6:20 says:

"Amram married Jochebed his father's sister and she bore him Aaron and Moses, and the length of Amram's life was one hundred thirty-seven years."

So, the claim of QURAN 19:28 that MARY is the "SISTER OF AARON," plus the claim of QURAN 66:12 that MARY is "the DAUGHTER OF IMRAN" provide CLEAR BASIS for saying that the QURAN SEES MARY is the LITERAL and BIOLOGICAL SISTER of AARON.

And for those who know HISTORY and the BIBLE, QURAN 19:28 and QURAN 66:12 PROVE a SERIOUS ERROR in the TEXTS.

 

NO ERROR, SAY MUSLIMS

Not surprisingly, MUSLIMS, like LANCUYAN who ATTACK the Bible based on the flimsiest of reasons, insist that there is "no error" with Quran 19:28 declaring that MARY is the "SISTER OF AARON."

But it was in defending Quran 19:28 that Lancuyan affirmed its error.

Lancuyan said in his blog (Defender of the Straight Path):

"We, MUslims will die with fact that Mary is NOT a biological sister of Aaron."

Oddly, as I said, Lancuyan made that statement while trying to disprove any error in Quran 19:28.

As it turned out, he even HIGHLIGHTED the error by directly CONTRADICTING the claim of the verse that Mary is the "SISTER OF AARON."

In short, even Lancuyan agrees that Mary "SISTER OF AARON" is WRONG.

Even Muslims DISAGREE with the claim of QURAN 19:28.
