Question about the Quran

Post #1

Post by TG123 »

Salaam Alaikum,

This is a question to the Muslim posters on the forum. Can you please tell me what significance the Quran has for you in your faith? I know Islam teaches that God revealed it directly through the ArchAngel Gabriel to Muhammad.

Do you believe that it is 100% true and without any mistakes? I know that the Quran teaches there are no contradictions in it, would the same apply to other kinds of errors (ie scientific, historical, theological, etc)?

4:82
Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an? If it had been from [any] other than Allah , they would have found within it much contradiction.

If a mistake was found in the Quran that was not a contradiction, would it still be in your opinion the word of God?


Shukran wa Allahma3k. Ramadan Mubarak aydan.

So in my next test from your book about prophet Mohammad , I hope you will find good justifications . or you will be unqualified to speak about Quran until you prove your ability to speak about your book .

MY Respect . O:)
Salaam Alaikum.

I answered your post, and debunked your "proof" by showing you that Isaiah 21:13-17 does not mention a prophet. The burden of proof is on you to show any mention of a prophet in that verse, much less of Muhammad. I also showed you how "Hashem" in the text is most clearly a reference to God, not Muhammad's grandfather.

I have responded to your post about the Bible, will you respond to mine about the Quran (both the verses about the "barrier" between the waters, and my rebutall to your response about the Thamud verses)?

Respect returned.

Yes, that would be the general idea. I respond to what you write, you respond to what I write. That is how debates work. :)

Please respond not only to my response regarding the Isaiah verse, but also Madain Saleh, and the verses about alleged barrier between salty and non-salty water.

The prophecy speaks about an event will happen for this man :
The religious signs :
1- A clear prophecy and glad tidings .
2- The Lord is the speaker .
The historical signs :
1- The immigration event will became a calendar and will chronicled what is after
2- An important battle will happen after one year from the immigration .
The geographical signs :
1- It Happened in the land of Arabia .
2- The prophecy appointed places : [ Tema , Dedans , and land of Kedar ]
The events :
1- The immigration and the escaping [ Prophet Mohammad immigration ]
2- The defeat of the Kedar and the disappearance of his glory after one year from the immigration in the first battle [ the battle of Badr ]

All of this happened for prophet Mohammad ,

So what you will have to do ?

You must prove that someone lived in the Arabian land escaped from the sons of Kedar , then after one year this man and his followers defeated the sons of Kedar . and he ruled the Arabian land . and his immigration became a great event for the followers of this man . else than prophet Mohammad

Only neither "this man" or any other man- other than the Arabians who are defeated- are mentioned in Isaiah 21:13-17.

Here is the passage again:

Isa Ch 21 : 13 -17

( The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim. The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled. For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war. For thus hath the LORD said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail: And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel hath spoken it. )

Where do you see a prophet mentioned in this passage?

Yes.

Isaiah 21:13-17 does not say this.
steps wrote: 2- An important battle will happen after one year from the immigration .
It does say this. It says nothing about a prophet winning this battle, it only speaks of the Arabians being defeated.
steps wrote: The geographical signs :
1- It Happened in the land of Arabia .
The battle did in Isaiah 21:13-17. So did many other battles throughout history.
steps wrote: 2- The prophecy appointed places : [ Tema , Dedans , and land of Kedar ]
Yes.
steps wrote: The events :
1- The immigration and the escaping [ Prophet Mohammad immigration ]
The passage says nothing about a prophet fleeing from war, like Muhammad did.
steps wrote: 2- The defeat of the Kedar and the disappearance of his glory after one year from the immigration in the first battle [ the battle of Badr ]
The difference is that according to your faith, Muhammad defeated "Kedar". Isaiah 21:13-17 says nothing about the people fleeing from war playing any role in defeating the Kedarites. It also does not say that the Kedarites oppressed them.

You are adding events to the passage that are not there.
steps wrote: All of this happened for prophet Mohammad ,
According to your faith, Muhammad was oppressed by the Meccans and had to flee. He later fought and defeated them.
Isaiah 21:13-17 does not say who was chased out, and by whom. It also does not say that the Kedarites played any role in chasing out these people, or that these people were the ones who destroyed them.

Also, did Muhammad and his men lodge in an Arabian forest?
steps wrote: So what you will have to do ?

You must prove that someone lived in the Arabian land escaped from the sons of Kedar , then after one year this man and his followers defeated the sons of Kedar . and he ruled the Arabian land . and his immigration became a great event for the followers of this man . else than prophet Mohammad
You need to prove that Isaiah 21:13-17 states that the Kedarites were the ones who oppressed the people and drove them out. You need to show that these people were the ones who overthrew them, according to this passage.

You obviously can't, since the passage does not say these things. So therefore, you cannot demonstrate that it is about Muhammad.

You want pictures? I don't know how to paste pictures on this site (if someone who does know is reading this, please feel free to show me), but I will give you a link to a site with some great pictures of these structures... as well as an explanation of who made them.

Maybe Isaiah did not know his sayings . or for sure you do not know your book : Isaiah was speaking about specific case in specific place in specific time for specific events .

the disaster in the minds of the Christians , and this is why they made Jesus a god without any proves . because they are cutting the phrases from its context

Who said the people fleeing from the war … from where you get this idea . the war happened after the immigration .
The prophet and his companions immigrated because Allah commanded them to immigrate from the land of Kedar " Makkah = Baca " to Ythreb .

And during the night of immigration , the unbelievers from the sons kedar [ different tribes ] gathered in front of the house of Prophet Mohammad , each one was carrying his sword to kill the prophet . and the prophecy says : [ For they fled from the swords ]

The Christians and the Jews do not know the subject of the prophecy , therefore their commentaries about it were very weak only [ guess and fake ] .

But the Muslims knew it happened for prophet Mohammad , and prophet Mohammad only . no one else .

He was the immigrant , he was the victor and defeated the unbelievers from the sons kedar . he is the one that God spoke about him in the prophecy .

By the immigrant and his followers . you do not have to be genius to know this by yourself .
If it was not a great event , and very important occasion then why God speak about it ?
The event of the immigration announced the beginning of Islamic country . the prophet and his companions have their own independent country

So let us be logical , and we will not use the minds of Christians about this case :
1- The inspiration from the heavens came to Isaiah on earth , to inspire him that all the glory of Kedar shall fail .
What is the target from the inspiration ? Just to say the glory of Kedar shall fail .
And what is the benefit for the Christians and the Jews ? they have no relation with people of Kedar .
And why the inspiration speak about Tema , and a man will escape and they should help him and support him by water and food ?
He can inspire Isaiah the glory of Kedar shall fial , without mentioning any man or any other tribe .
Also the inspiration talked about the fail of Kedar , but who was the victor ?
And why the god talked since the inspiration was meaningless ?
Or God inspired Isaiah just to inform mankind that he knows everything ?

The passage clearly says "Hashem, the God of Israel". If you are going to use this passage as "proof" of Muhammad's prophecy, then you need to state what it actually says. If you claim Hashem means Muhammad, you are stating he is the God of Israel. BTW you earlier claimed he was Muhammad's grandfather.

Clearly, no matter how much you try to twist it, Isaiah 21:13-17 is not about Muhammad or his victory over the Meccans.

Back to our discussion on Madain Saleh, can you show any historical or archaeological evidence that the buildings were built in the time of Moses, rather than as history and archaeology shows, by the Nabataeans?

It is not necessary to mention the prophet or his name , only description about him or events will happen to this prophet .
And the OT is full with prophecies about Jesus without mentioning his name . only descriptions lead you to know the prophecy about him .
TG123 wrote: How do you know it refers to the migration of Muhammad? Do you believe there were no other battles or migrations in that region between Isaiah and Muhammad?
As long as you know there was another man immigrated in the land of Arabs , and God commanded the people of Tema to support him . then write about him .

The evidence in front of you , but your reaction as the reaction of the Jews toward Jesus .
They knew Jesus was a messenger from Allah but they rejected him .
You are at the same boat [ the boat of the unbelievers ].

Prophet Mohammad never flee from a war .
[67. O Messenger. proclaim the (message) which hath been sent to thee from thy Lord. If thou didst not, thou wouldst not have fulfilled and proclaimed His mission. And Allah will defend thee from men (who mean mischief). For Allah guideth not those who reject Faith. ] Surah 5
If prophet Mohammad was not a true prophet , he will not lie about himself .
When the inspiration came with this verse , he told his guards : you are free to go . I have been protected . no one will be able to kill him .
And in 27 battle no one was able to kill prophet Mohammad , and the Jews poisoned him but he did not die . the Pagans and the Jews became hopeless . why ?
because Allah is protecting him . until he completed the last message to mankind .
[This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. But if any is forced by hunger, with no inclination to transgression, Allah is indeed Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.]

( The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim. The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled. For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war. For thus hath the LORD said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail: And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel hath spoken it. )
Did Muhammad flee from war?
The Muslims lived in Makkah = Baca " for 13 years . and they faced things much harder than the war itself . some of them have been killed , some of them have been tortured till death , and they have been besieged for three years until they ate the leafs of the trees . and some of them have been tied .

Above all they did not fight back , until Allah commanded his prophet to immigrate from the land of Pagans at that time , to new land : Yathrb . even the holy Quran described them :

[100. And the first to embrace Islam of the Muhajirun (those who migrated from Makkah to Al-Madinah) and theAnsar (the citizens of Al-Madinah who helped and gave aid to the Muhajirun) and also those who followed them exactly (in Faith). Allah is well-pleased with them as they are well-pleased with Him. He has prepared for them Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise), to dwell therein forever. That is the supreme success.]
Muhajirun an Arabic word : مهاجرين
so yes . the Muslims were in a situation harder than war without fighting back

It says about a man : brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled
And about his followers : For they fled from the swords

You have to prove it was not meaningless , by applying it on someone .

The pronunciation of the word " Ya'ar " in Hebrw is similar to the pronunciation of the word ' وعر " in Arabic
TG123 wrote: The passage clearly says "Hashem, the God of Israel". If you are going to use this passage as "proof" of Muhammad's prophecy, then you need to state what it actually says. If you claim Hashem means Muhammad, you are stating he is the God of Israel. BTW you earlier claimed he was Muhammad's grandfather.

Clearly, no matter how much you try to twist it, Isaiah 21:13-17 is not about Muhammad or his victory over the Meccans.
No . the passage clearly says : For Hashem , the G-d of Israel, hath spoken it" .
Also you can return to my first comment about the prophecy . to find that I was meaning prophet Mohammad .
