One of the most deceptive arguments native Arab speakers make when debating the Quran is the following: “I speak Arabic therefore I understand the Quran.”This claim on its surface is erroneous on two levels. Firstly, God tells us in the Quran that the Quran is only accessible to those who are sincere.  [56:79] None can … Continue reading I speak Arabic therefore I understand the Quran

In 53:36-37, God informs us, that even the one who turned away from the Quran was aware of the scripture of Moses and of what was fulfilled by Abraham. [53:33] Have you noted the one who turned away? [53:34] Rarely did he give to charity, and then very little. [53:35] Did he possess knowledge of … Continue reading Abraham’s Circumcision Covenant with God

In this article, God willing, we will look at how the last two verses of Sura Barã’ah, namely 9:128 and 9:129, were falsely added to the Quran. This evidence, in conjunction with the linguistic anomalies and the mathematical proof, shows that these two verses were never part of the original Quran as revealed to the … Continue reading The History Behind 9:128 – 9:129

The claim that circumcision is not mentioned in the Quran is incorrect. Circumcision is represented in the Arabic Quran. The word Rashad Khalifa translated as Monotheism in the Quran is حَنِيفًا (ḥanīfan). This word is almost exclusively mentioned throughout the Quan in conjunction with Abraham (2:135. 3:67, 3:95. 4:125. 6:161, 16:120, 16:123). The root of … Continue reading Where in Quran does it mention circumcision?

While we do not know what language Abraham spoke, it is interesting how similar the languages of the Abrahamic religions are to one another: Hebrew, Aramaic, and Arabic. I was looking for a translation of the Fãtehah in Hebrew and stumbled on a Submitters Perspective article from January 2004 which had the HA PATCHAH prayer … Continue reading Did Abraham recite the Fãtehah in his Salat?

A major misnomer from some people who claim to follow Quran alone is that they believe everything has to be specified verbatim in detail in the Quran otherwise it is not to be followed. This is faulty logic and a perfect lesson for this incorrect line of reasoning is in the example God provide​d us​ … Continue reading How do we know Zakat is 2.5% since it is not specifically mentioned in Quran?

In 5:3 what does it mean when it states "and animals sacrificed on altars"? Does this constitute the first dietary prohibition of carrion? Or the fourth dietary prohibition of animals sacrificed to other than God? [5:3] Prohibited for you are animals that die of themselves, blood, the meat of pigs, and animals dedicated to other … Continue reading Animals Sacrificed On Altars in Sura 5:3 is it part of 1st or 4th Dietary Prohibition?

A black hole is a star that implodes upon itself puncturing a hole in the fabric of space-time. It is the darkest thing in the universe as not even light can exit its gravity once it enters its event horizon, the point of no return.  The irony is that the darkest object in the universe … Continue reading Do you know what Al-Taareq is?

The Quran indicates multiple kinds of messengers from God: humans (17:93), jinns (6:130), angels (11:69), and scripture (65:10-11), but nowhere will you see God indicate a prophet from anything other than humans. This makes sense as God calls Muhammad the final prophet (nabi). [33:40] Muhammad was not the father of any man among you. He … Continue reading Claiming “Muhammad is The Final Messenger” is Factually Incorrect According to Quran
