Despite having to now admit that the Quran contains thousands of variant readings and that there conflicting Arabic versions of the Islamic scripture, Muslims still claim that none of these differences affect any core tenet of the Islamic faith. Unfortunately for these Muslims such is not the case as I am about to demonstrate. The following verse mentions Muhammad’s astonishment over the disbelievers’ denial of his prophetic claims: In fact, you are astonished ( ‘aijb’ta ) ˹b

It may surprise non-Muslims, as well as some Muslims, to discover that the authentic traditions of Islam depict Allah as a finite spatial, temporal being who experiences bewilderment and amazement, as well as exhibiting emotions such as laughter.   For example, Muhammad is reported to have said that his god laughs at people and mocks them: Waki’ bin Hudus narrated that his paternal uncle Abu Razin said: Sunan Ibn Majah The Book of the Sunnah “The Messenger of Allah said: ‘ Al

ALLAH’S DILEMMA! The Quran claims that it is a scripture that explains everything in detail, providing a complete exposition of its verses: [Say (O Muhammad)] “Shall I seek a judge other than Allah while it is He Who has sent down unto you the Book (The Qur’an),  explained in detail .” Those unto whom We gave the Scripture [the  Taurat  (Torah) and the  Injeel  (Gospel)] know that it is revealed from your Lord in truth. So be not you of those who doubt. S. 6:114 And this Qur’

That is the Question! The Salafi versus Sunni-Shia Dilemma According to the so-called authentic narrations attributed to Muhammad, Allah literally descends to the lowest heaven, the heaven that is supposed to be closest to the earth, at the last third of every night. The reports claim that Allah does so for the sole purpose of answering and forgiving the sins of all those who invoke him during that time. The Evidence Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, “Every night wh

The following is a post from Glenn Miller that I publish here for the benefit of the readers since it highlights the amazing compassion and love of the true God. All of the commentaries I have access to note that the legal provisions in Deut 21.10-14 are ‘exceptional’, ‘remarkable’, ‘compassionate’, or even ‘humanistic'(!): “The law  focuses on the rights of the woman  by stating that the man who marries a female prisoner of war and subsequently becomes dissatisfied with her,

Notorious South African Muhammadan polemicist Yusuf Ismail, and a Ahmed Deedat wannabe, is fond of quoting Judges 19 as an example of the Bible condoning mass rape supposedly with God’s approval, in order to divert attention away from the fact of his false prophet permitting and sanctioning the rape of captive women, even in cases where these women were married (cf. Q. 4:24). We will have more to say concerning Muhammad allowing his men to rape women a little later. Here is t

The Quran mandates that there must be four witnesses to an adulterous act before anyone can be condemned for adultery: The woman and the man guilty of illegal sexual intercourse, flog each of them with a hundred stripes. Let not pity withhold you in their case, in a punishment prescribed by Allah, if you believe in Allah and the Last Day. And let a party of the believers witness their punishment. (This punishment is for unmarried persons guilty of the above crime but if marri

The Quran permits murdering jihadis to take captive and rape married women: Also (forbidden are) women already married,  except those (captives and slaves) whom your right hands possess . Thus has Allah ordained for you. All others are lawful, provided you seek (them in marriage) with  Mahr  (bridal money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage) from your property, desiring chastity, not committing illegal sexual intercourse, so with those of whom you have en

The Quran and hadiths ascribe to Allah bodily attributes and parts, which Muslims such as the Salafis argue are unlike anything in all creation. According to the ahadith, Allah sacrifices one of his limps for the salvation of mankind: CCCXXXIII: His words, “It will ask, ‘Are there more to come?'” (50:30) 4567. It is related from Anas that the Prophet said, “They will be thrown into the Fire and it will say, ‘Are there more to come?’ (50:30) until He places His foot in it and

There are “sound” hadiths where Muhammad claimed that Allah appeared to him as a beautiful man in which his deity then placed his palm between his shoulders where he then felt the coolness of Allah’s fingers on his chest: Al-Tirmidhi Hadith – 237 Narrated AbdurRahman ibn A’ish Allah’s Messenger said: I saw my Lord, the Exalted and Glorious IN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FORM. He said: What do the Angels in the presence of Allah contend about? I said: Thou art the most aware of it. He

In this post I will share some more examples of the foul mouth of both Muhammad and his companions, showing that neither he nor they were above insulting their opponents in the most graphic and vulgar manner. For instance, Muhammad bluntly and explicitly told people who boasted in their lineage to bite their fathers’ penises! 41 Gestures (436) Chapter ‘Ubayy ibn Damura said, “I saw with Ubay a man who was attributing himself (in lineage) with an attribution of Jahiliyyah, so

In this post I will share examples of Allah using foul language in describing and/or insulting disbelievers. For instance, Allah likens unbelievers to dogs: Recite unto them the tale of him to whom We gave Our revelations, but he sloughed them off, so Satan overtook him and he became of those who lead astray. And had We willed We could have raised him by their means, but he clung to the earth and followed his own lust. Therefor his likeness is as the likeness of a dog: if tho

This post is intended to supplement my response to Shabir Ally found here: https://answeringislam.net/Responses/Shabir-Ally/paul_on_jesus.htm . Here’s what Ally wrote in relation to the Christology of Paul and Hebrews: Paul, believed to be the author of some thirteen or fourteen letters in the Bible, also believed that Jesus is not God. For Paul, God first created Jesus, then used Jesus as the agent by which to create the rest of creation (see Colossians 1:15 and 1 Corinthian

The late Ahmed Deedat is viewed by Muslims as one of the greatest debaters against Christianity and a supposed Muslim scholar of the Bible. One of his main objections against the authority and authenticity of the Holy Bible had to with varying canons found among Protestant and Roman Catholic editions of God’s inspired Scriptures. Here is what he wrote: THE CATHOLIC BIBLE Holding the “Douay” Roman Catholic Version of the Bible aloft in my hand, I ask, “Do YOU accept THIS Bi

It’s time to turn the tables against Muslims by raising the same objection that Deedat against the Bible to his own respective scripture. Even though Muslims have been led to believe that the Quran consists of only 116 chapters, the fact is that there earliest and most reliable sources confirm that such was not always the case. According to Islamic tradition, Muhammad’s companions compiled differing and conflicting Qurans, some of which either had less or more surahs than the

According to the Holy Bible, John the Baptist was Jesus’ forerunner sent to prepare for his appearance to Israel: “John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, ‘I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness, “Make straight the way for the Lord.”… I baptize with water,’ John replied, ‘but among you stands one you do not know. He is the one who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie .’ This all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jor

This post was written specifically for the livestream I did with David Wood on this same topic. Here’s the link to the talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGrUslfXCnU . Our Lord proclaimed that the Father’s express command is for all men to honor the Son in the exact same way that they honor the Father: “The Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son,   that all men should honor the Son, just as they honor the Father . He who does not honor the Son does

The inspired New Testament writings are crystal clear that only God is to be worshiped: “Again, the devil took Him up on a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their grandeur,   and said to Him, ‘All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.’ Then Jesus said to him, ‘Get away from here, Satan! For it is written, “ You shall worship the Lord your God , and Him only shall you serve .”’” Matthew 4:8-10 – cf. Luke 4:5-8 “Thu

The following excerpts are taken from Messianic Jewish scholar and translator Dr. David H. Stern’s Jewish New Testament Commentary , published by Jewish New Testament Publications, Inc. 1992. All emphasis mine. 20 Adonai,  literally, “my lords”; but grammarians consider it the “plural of majesty”; so a slightly less literal translation would be “my Lord.” Long before Yeshua’s day, however, the word “ Adonai ” had, out of respect, been substituted in speaking and in reading al
