Questions and Answer On Religion

Kinana

This page is a list of questions to ask a Muslim.

1. The Qur’an refers to alcohol as an “abomination” and “Satan’s handwork”,[1] so why does the Qur’an also praise[2] alcohol and emphasize the point[3] that it is something found in heaven?

2. When used in moderation, there are numerous benefits in the consumption of alcohol.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Rather than giving us an outright ban,[1] shouldn’t Allah have only prohibited its abuse?

3. The Qur’an encourages people to drink milk[16] and tells us it is something being served in the Muslim Paradise,[17] but if you claim the potential health risk of alcohol was enough to cause its prohibition, why not also ban the drinking of milk which is potentially more harmful due to most of the world’s population, past[18] and present,[19][20] not being biologically designed to digest milk?

4. If life is a test, isn’t banning alcohol in Muslim countries the same as interfering in Allah’s affairs?

5.Muhammad claimed Zamzam (Islamic holy water) is miraculous and it could heal any disease.[21] So why does it contain arsenic levels three times the legal limit, high levels of nitrate, and other potentially harmful bacteria?[22] Does Allah want to poison his followers?

6. The Qur’an says Allah cannot have a son without a consort,[23] yet claims Mary had a son without a consort.[24] Is this not limiting Allah’s omnipotence,[25] and why is Mary capable of doing something Allah cannot?

7. Is Allah the god of the Old Testament?

8. 1 of Allah’s 99 names translates as the Deceiver.[26] Why would you believe in any such deity?

9. Why does almost every description of Allah also equal non-existence? (i.e. incorporeal, immaterial, ineffable, unfathomable, incomprehensible, etc.)

10. If no one has seen Allah,[27][28] its sex cannot be determined. Why do you still address it[27][28] as a male?

11. Why would Allah have to bribe his followers[29][30] by promising them loot?

12. Would you trust a political party which does not allow ex-members to speak out? If not, why would you trust Islam, and why should anyone convert to a religion which kills[31] apostates and does not[31][32] allow criticism?

13. Why do so many people still leave Islam[33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41] even though they receive death threats for doing so?

14. Why is there “no compulsion” in religion when the punishment for apostasy, both “normal” apostasy and “treason”,[42] is death?

15. Classic Arabic is missing vowels and dots. If the Qur’an is the “words of God” only in its original language, why didn’t Allah reveal it in a language that was fully developed?

16. There are only 150 million native Arabic speakers in the world today.[43] Why did Allah not reveal the Qur’an in a language more widely spoken on earth such as English[44] (350 million), Mandarin[45] (800 million), Spanish[46] (358 million), Hindi[47] (200 million) or Russian[48] (160 million)?

17. Why is Arabic only difficult to understand or translate when a non-Muslim criticizes the Qur’an? And why do Muslims claim critics mis-translate words when it is often their own scholars and their most authoritative Arabic to English dictionaries[26] that confirm otherwise?

18. There are many Arabic dialects such as Egyptian, Gulf, Eastern Arabic, Maghrebi and dozens of others.[49] Which one did Allah want us to use to interpret the Qur’an?

19. Muslims believe that our body parts will testify our sins in the hereafter.[50][51] Is that true for donated body parts as well?

20. If circumcision is a command from Allah, shouldn’t it be mentioned in the Qur’an? And why did Allah not create us circumcised if he wants us that way?

And they planned and Allah (also) planned, and Allah is the best of planners.



Before explaining the misconceptions of this Noble Verse, one should look at the context and see whom Allah (SWT) refers to when he says they planned. (Surah Ale-Imran 3:54)



They clearly refers to those who rejected Prophet Isa (AS), who is Jesus, when the verses before it:



But when Isa perceived unbelief on their part, he said who will be my helpers in Allah's way? The disciples said: We are helpers (in the way) of Allah: We believe in Allah and bear witness that we are submitting ones.



Our Lord! We believe in what Thou hast revealed and we follow the apostle, so write us down with those who bear witness.



And they planned and Allah (also) planned, and Allah is the best of planners. (Surah Ale-Imran 3:52-54)



We can see from verse 52 we can see that the ones who verse 54 refers to are those who refused to be the helpers of Prophet Isa (AS) and the ones on whom he perceived disbelief



Many people misinterpret this verse to say that Allah (SWT) is a deceiver and that the Arabic word used here, which is al-makireena, means deceiver.



This is a blatant lie, and this verse does not say that Allah (SWT) deceives. The Arabic word used there is al-makireena which has many meanings, such as to plot, to plan, to scheme, to deceive etc.



There is no translator who uses the word deceive including the non-Muslim translators because it is clear from the context of this verse that the disbelievers, who rejected Prophet Isa (AS), planned against him. However Allah (SWT) planned against them to save his Holy Messiah (AS) from death. Even if it is deceiving, it means that Allah (SWT) deceived them by saving his Messiah, though they believed they had killed him.



Let us also examine Surah al-Anfal 8:30:



And when those who disbelieved devised plans against you that they might confine you or slay you or drive you away; and they devised plans and Allah too had arranged a plan; and Allah is the best of planners. (Surah al-Anfal 8:30)



Firstly, it says that he plans against the disbelievers who plotted against the Holy Prophet Mohammad (SAWW) and Allah (SWT) also plotted and planned against them. There is nothing wrong or deceptive used here by Allah (SWT). In order to protect his Holy Prophet Mohammad (SAWW), he prevented the disbelievers plot. The answer is not very different to that of Surah Ale-Imran 3:54 and even if Allah (SWT) deceived the pagans, he did so by stopping the deceptive plans of the pagans. He deceived them because they expected to kill the Holy Prophet Mohammad (SAWW), but Allah (SWT) destroyed their plan, and he is indeed the best of planners.

this new survey of more than a million British women forund that even one glass of wine a day increases your risk of breast cancer and other diseases. That is the reason why the Quran forbids alcohol driniking
"IN it there is little benefit and lots of harm and the harm in this (alcoholic drinks) is much more than the benefits."
You see even in the Quran God Almighty says there is a little benefit from drinking alcohol .But as we know for centuries, rarely do people stop at one drink! now even one drink is bad ..

If Zamzam contains loads of arsenic billions would have developed diseases ...LOL mate where did u get your facts? BBC? ohhh no wonder. Here is some education...Did you know that the Zamzam well has been flowing since the time of Abraham(peace be unto Him)? thats what ? 4000 odd yrs !! is nt that truly amazing? yep i do agree it is..




Zamzam Water Facts
What is Zamzam?


Zamzam is the name of the well that provides the water to billions of people, have thirstily drunk from throughout history, especially during the Hajj pilgrimage.

Zamzam is linked to some of the most important personalities in world history: the Prophets Ibrahim and Ismail (peace be upon them) and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), as well as Ismail's mother Hajira (may Allah be pleased with her).

According to Islamic tradition, Prophet Ibrahim (a.s.) rebuilt the Bait-ul-Allah (House of Allah) at the site of the well, a building which had been originally constructed by Prophet Adam (a.s.), and today is called the Kaaba (Qiblah), a building towards which all Muslims around the world face in prayer, five times each day. Zamzam well is located approximately 20 meters east of the Kaaba. Zamzam well is located in Makkah, which is the heart of the Hajj pilgrimage. Zamzam well is 35 meters deep and topped by an elegant dome. The miracle water of Zamzam is still flowing until today. Subhanallah!

"The difference between Zamzam water and other (city water) was in the quantity of calcium and magnesium salts. The content of these was slightly higher in Zamzam water. This may be why this water refreshes tired Hajis, but more significantly, the water contains fluorides that have an effective germicidal action."

"This well has never dried up. On the contrary, it has always fulfilled the demand for water. It has always maintained the same salt composition and taste ever since it came into existence. Its potability has always been universally recognized as pilgrims from all over the world visit the Kaabah every year for Hajj and Umrah, but have never complained about it. Instead, they have always enjoyed the water that refreshes them. Water tastes different at different places. Zamzam water's appeal has always been universal. This water has never been chemically treated or chlorinated as is the case with water pumped into the cities. Biological growth and vegetation usually take place in most wells. This makes the water unpalatable owing to the growth of algae causing taste and odor problems."

How the Zamzam came into being?

All traditions agree that Allah (SWT) created the well to provide Hajira, the wife of Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him), and her baby Prophet Ismail (peace be upon him) with water in the hot, dry valley they were in, around the year 2000 BC.

In her desperate search for water, Hajira ran seven times back and forth in the scorching heat between the two hills of Safa and Marwa to provide for her baby who was dying of thirst. Today, this same act is a necessary rite of Hajj pilgrimage all Muslims, mothers and fathers, must complete.

Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) settled his family there as part of Allah's mission for him. The first thing Hajira had to do then was to look for water in the area. She was searching for it while watching at her son and would run whenever she could not see Ismail. Allah (SWT) saw her effort and miraculously blessed the spot with a water spring, at the feet of Prophet Ismail (as).

Zamzam before Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)

The appearance of the Zamzam began the settlement of the Makkan valley, where the descendants of Prophet Ismail populated the area.

But as time passed, Prophet Ibrahim and Ismail's monotheistic message, which once dominated the region, began taking a backseat to pagan, polytheistic beliefs.

Nonetheless, the well of Zamzam retained its importance in later generations. The grandfather of the Prophet, Abdul Muttalib, was honored with the responsibility of taking care of the well and the pilgrims to Makkah.

Zamzam water: the power drink

One of the miracles of Zamzam water is its ability to satisfy both thirst and hunger. One of the Companions of the Prophet said that before Islam, the water was called "Shabbaa'ah" or satisfying. It was filling and helped them nourish their families.

After Islam, this powerful ability to quench thirst and fill stomachs remained. Prophet Muhammad said: "The best water on the face of the earth is the water of Zamzam; it is a kind of food and a healing from sickness."

According to the Muslim collection of Hadith, Abu Dharr al-Ghifari, a Companion (Sahabi), noted that when he first arrived in Makkah during the early days of Islam, not only did he satisfy his hunger and thirst but he survived only on Zamzam water for a whole month.

More recently, in the last few decades, scientists have collected samples of Zamzam water and they have found certain peculiarities that make the water healthier, like a higher level of calcium.

Zamzam water: a cure for sickness

Apart from its ability to serve as satisfying food and drink, Zamzam water's health benefits are also commended. Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said it was a healing from sickness. This is why pilgrims to Makkah to this day collect it in bottles to bring for relatives and friends back home who are ill.

Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) used to carry Zamzam water in pitchers and water skins back to Madinah. He used to sprinkle it over the sick and make them drink it.

Wahab Ibn Munabbah, who was from the second generation of Muslims, said 'I swear by Him in whose possession my life is, Allah Ta'ala will relieve the person of all illnesses who drinks Zamzam to his fill and will also grant him good health.'

Zamzam water and Hajj pilgrimage

During Hajj and Umra, pilgrims are recommended to drink Zamzam water to their fill to quench their thirst. They also continue the tradition of bringing it back for family and friends.

For example, despite tight US laws forbidding the import of foreign liquids and fruits, there is an exception made for pilgrims returning from Makkah, who bring water of the Zamzam home for loved ones.

""6. The Qur’an says Allah cannot have a son without a consort,[23] yet claims Mary had a son without a consort.[24] Is this not limiting Allah’s omnipotence,[25] and why is Mary capable of doing something Allah cannot?""


The Quran says that GOD cannot have a son period.Far be it for ALmighty Allah to have a son. If anything that needs to be done by GODs decree then HE says be and it is.."The likeness of ISA(AS) in the eyes of GOD is the same as ADAM(AS) ,GOD needs only to say be! and it is..."(QURAN)
so desist is saying that GOD is three!
God is not begotten and HE does not beget. There is nothing like unto HIM.

No limiting of GOD Almighty's omnipotence here as compared to the Christian doctrine that GOD died!!

can GOD die?? really so when GOD was dead, who was running the universe?

Now who is really limiting GOD's omnipotence?

their common answer will be that nooooo the man died .So GOD didnt die?? so then stop saying that GOD died for the sins of mankind.

*Keep them blind for Destruction
*
Sami Zaatari
*
*
*
Christians always claim that Allah is evil because he supposedly misguides and guides whom he chooses, hence they assert that Allah misguides people, which is not fitting for a merciful God, after all how can a merciful God misguide his people which will eventually lead to their destruction.
*
The above claim has already been responded to on several occasions, just visit these articles:
*
http://muslim-responses.com/Yahweh_Misguides/Yahweh_Misguides_
*
http://www.call-to-monotheism.com/w...es_whom_he_wills_and_misguides_whom_he_wills_
*
So the Christian claim has already been debunked, but what about their own God Yahweh? Well Muslims have already documented that it is their very OWN God Yahweh who deceives and misguides people on purpose, just to se them up for destruction, the first link I gave at the top provides the references. In fact Jesus himself purposely deceived people so they wouldn't be saved:
*
http://muslim-responses.com/Jesus_the_Deceiver_/Jesus_the_Deceiver_
*
So with all of that said one must wonder what in the world the Christians are arguing about, have they not read their own Bible, or are they just the biggest employers of double standards?
*
To further cement this problem for Christians, I bring ANOTHER Biblical passage that talks about God misguiding the people and setting them up for destruction, in fact these passages are one of the worst ones out of the whole group, the reference is from Isaiah 6:8-12 which reads:
*
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.*
*
So God commands his prophet Isaiah to make the people's heart fat, meaning strong and hard hearted, and to shut their eyes, and to also close their ears. God commands Isaiah to do all of this so the people can't understand the message and be saved!!! Wow! Here you have God telling a prophet to make sure the people can't understand the message for their own salvation, and so they persist in sin until the time comes for their destruction. So God has basically set these people up for destruction with no route of repentance, and Christians DARE even open their mouth against Allah and Islam?
*
And Allah Knows Best!

This I got from Non Muslim works of the Quran. Be guided n not be misled by your over zealous evangelist Kanina


Non-Muslim and/or Orientalist works

Arthur John Arberry * And when the unbelievers were devising against thee, to confine thee, or slay thee, or to expel thee, and were devising, and God was devising; and God is the best of devisers.

George Sale * And remember when the disbelievers devised plans against thee that they might put thee in confinement or slay thee or expel thee. And they planned and God also planned, and God is the Best of planners.

John Medows Rodwell * And call to mind when the unbelievers plotted against thee, to detain thee prisoner, or to kill thee, or to banish thee: They plotted - but God plotted: and of plotters is God the best!
