The Christian missionaries tend to make the general conclusion that the Qur’an cannot be a text of divine origin because of the unacceptable meanings included in it. Perhaps they are correct in this conclusion and we may be inclined to agree with them due to the following reasons, which are :
- 1. The Qur’an does not say a prophet slept with his daughters.
2. The Qur’an does not say a prophet slept with his neighbour’s wife and plotted to kill him
3. The Qur’an does not say a prophet worshipped the Golden Calf.
4. The Qur’an does not say a prophet changed his religion, worshipped idols and built for them temples.
5. The Qur’an does not say a prophet told lies and that God deceived and destroyed another prophet.
6. The Qur’an does not say David, Solomon and Jesus were originally bastards from the seed of Pharez, son of Judah.
7. The Qur’an does not say the firstborn of the Great Prophet who was the firstborn of God slept with his stepmother.
8. The Qur’an does not say the second son of the same Great Prophet (firstborn of God) slept with his daughter-in-law.
9. The Qur’an does not contain lurid details and explicit pornography involving men of Assyria and whores from Egypt.
10. The Qur’an does not say John the Baptist, who was the greatest Israelite Prophet ever according to Jesus — though the least in the kingdom of God was greater than him ! — failed to recognize his second lord on earth, although this lord followed him and got baptized by him. At least not until he saw the third god descending on this second god as a pigeon.
11. The Qur’an does not say the apostle of this god, Judas Iscariot, who performed many miracles in his name and was among the disciples who were greater than Moses and other Israelite Prophets according to Jesus, delivered his god to the hands of his enemies for 30 pieces.
12. The Qur’an does not say Caiaphas, the high priest — who was a prophet according to John the Baptist — rejected, insulted and made a verdict to kill his god.
For all the above reasons, we conclude that the Qur’an, unlike the Bible, cannot be a text of divine origin. 
In response to the the writing above by Azmy on the divinity of the Qur’an, I guess you are already aware that these are deliberate misinterpretaions and highly insulting to Christian people. Even though I am aware that this site is in response to those who have been anti- muslim (and they are not all christian please note) but I dont believe doing exactly what they are doing to you is the right way to go about it.
The above only proves that the Qur’ans divinity is based and can only be proved by lies. (your words Azmy not mine)please ammend your mistakes.(try reading the bible this time)
And to Shery, Islami peace and s.k you rejoiced to soon for the facts you blindly accepted are clearly fake. Sorry for your dissapointment
Arnold,
God MUST make sense to the reasoning mind. The reasoning mind also understands that it itself is limited, but yet it itself serve a very important function.. to recognise God and that its limitation is a sign to the infiniteness of God.
Isaiah 1:18 “Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD
jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt : who can know it ?
jeremiah 17:10 I, Jehovah, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.
Folks, you might as well give up on this blog. The verbous HeiGou will flood this blog with his baseless claims and accusations to distract and instigate you again. Like what he has done to other blogs in this site. Congratulations, HeiGou. You understand how the stupidity of Muslims work… because they dont know how to ignore you.
I do not defend it, I merely tell people why they are wrong for thinking it’s impossible or illogical. Muslims think God should always make sense to the reasoning mind, and that’s why they think the Quran is superior to the Bible. But I think God is beyond our sensibilities, and if it appears that God makes so much sense, chances are, you’re not reading about God but instead reading about a human invention. Human inventions usually make sense to the human, reasoning mind. God often does not.
DoctorMaybe said on 23 November 2006::“1. there were many christians, including Bahira, who confirmed Muhammad(saw)’s prophethood:as recorded in the sira. additionally, there were many jews who had prefigured the appearance of a prophet that would destroy the idolaters- leading the ansars to embrace Islam-Alhamdolillah.”
Actually the Muslim tradition claims there were many Christians who confirmed Muhammed prophethood, but it is clear, without too much reading between the lines, this was not the case. Khadija’s cousin declined to convert to Islam. In fact of the four hanif I know of, none of them died as Muslims, but as Christians. The Jews may have had a belief about the coming of the Messiah, but they clearly did not believe he was Muhammed — as can be seen by their resistance to conversion and eventual exile or death.
DoctorMaybe said on 23 November 2006::“2. according to the catholic encyclopedia, the hijaz was untouched by christian teachings”
I don’t think that is exactly what the Catholic Encyclopedia says but if it does, it must be wrong because the aHadith make it clear that Muhammed’s wife’s cousin was translating the Bible into Arabic and there were other Christians about — in Yemen for instance. Unless you think the Quran is wrong ?
DoctorMaybe said on 23 November 2006::“3. all Wansborough, whose approach to Islam was copied by crone and cook, did was guess. surprisingly, patricia crone conceded that Islamic literature has some merit, however small it might be. In her own words, “We shall never be able to do without the literary sources, of course, and the chances are that most of what the tradition tells us about the prophet’s life is more or less correct in some sense or other””
Wansborough does more than guess. He applies modern literary and textual criticism to the Muslim tradition. That approach is not going to go away. The key words in Crone’s passage there is “in some sense or other”. That leave a lot of room for her to interpret Muslim history as her work shows.
Arnorld, how can you say that you are not a christian, considering that you defended the trinity and divinity of christ in some other thread ?
Hezham, this is a really stupid argument. The Quran has absurdities as well. And the Hadiths are probably the most far fetched peice of of literature amongst all religion. Moses keeps on correcting Gods command for frequency of praying during Muhammad’s journey ? That is an unbelievable, laughable story that’s as ridiculous as anything in the bible. But here is the stupid part that you did. You used flaws in Christianity to make the Quran look divine. But I’m not a Christian and I think that both the bible and the quran are quite absurd little fairy tales. So pointing out errors in the bible means nothing to me. So, since you gave no reason to think the quran is divine and only gave reasons why the bible is not divine, you have done absolutely zero, zilch. That’s like finding out there is a hole in your boat and trying to fill the hole by polking a hole in someone else’s boat. That doesn’t fix the hole in your boat, dummy.
Faruh Rehan : if you do not understand Christianity, don’t come up with that nonsense about ‘Christians’ being lawless because their faith is based on ‘just believe’. The idea of Christian faith’s ‘belief’ in God means that you will believe in God’s plans and God’s version of right and good. Specifically speakin the New Testament (the one that Christians use in order to ‘justify’ why when Jesus came Moses Laws were now deemed outdated), demands Christians to walk a Christ-led life. The key word is questioning ‘what would Jesus do?’. With that doctrine in mind, then we will be led to live a sinless life…
oh why am i bothering even explaining to you.
In a nutshell, if your knowledge of Christianity is confined to a peanut-case, then keep it in the case.
