A Guide to the Qur’anic Contradictions, Part 1
05 Jan, 2009
Readers may consult the complete verses in
Online
Quran.
[Read the consolidated E.Book Version]
Introduction
This guide is a compilation of contradictory verses in the
Qur’an, the holiest book of Islam. Muslims consider the Qur’an as
the infallible words of Allah, free of any ambiguities,
contradictions, errors and irrationalities. This guide will
demonstrate that far from being perfect, free of ambiguities and
errors, the Qur’an is replete with hundreds of contradictory
statements that will surprise the critical readers of the Qur’an. It
is unbelievable that an omnipotent, omniscient, all-knowing, and
all-powerful Allah will have such a demented intellect to construct
so many contradictory passages.
For easy understanding, the Qur’anic verses are provided in
summarized, plain English. For the complete translation please refer
to the translations of
Yusuf Ali, Picthal, and Shakir, or the translation of
Hilali and Khan.
Many contradictory verses are repeated; it is because of the
repetitive nature of the Qur’an. One amazing aspect of the Qur’an is
that there may be several contradictions in a single verse.
Please note that this guide does not address the Qur’anic errors,
absurdities, and irrationalities on various subjects such as
science, mathematics, astronomy, history, embryology, geology, and
cosmology. This is a vast topic and a separate guide is necessary to
understand Allah’s expertise on these issues.
This guide may not be complete. There might be many other
contradictory verses which the author might have missed. The author
will appreciate if any reader finds other contradictory verses not
included in this guide, and brings them to my attention. I shall
include them in the list to make this guide as comprehensive as
possible.
Sura 2: al-Baqara (The Cow)
2:21: Allah created the mankind; they should worship Him.
Contradiction: 3:97, 35:15 say Allah does not need mankind
and the jinns; He is free of all want.
2:29: Allah created the earth (first) then He perfected the seven firmaments (heavens); He has the perfect knowledge of all things. (This verse indicates that Allah started creation by creating earth, and then He made heaven into seven heavens. This is how building usually starts, with the lower floors first and then the top floors—ibn Kathir).
Contradiction: 79:27-30 says Allah created the heavens first.
2:34: All the angels bowed to Adam, except Iblis. He was haughty and a disbeliever.
Contradiction: 16:49 says every creature in the heavens and in earth prostrates to Allah.
2:35: Allah forbade Adam and his wife to approach the tree of knowledge. (Allah spoke directly to Adam—ibn Kathir.)
Contradiction: 42:51 says Allah never speaks directly to a
human; He speaks either from behind a veil or through a messenger.
2:37: Adam learned the words of inspiration from Allah. Adam was the first Muslim.
Contradiction: 2:131 says Abraham was the first Muslim.
Contradiction: 6:14 says Muhammad was the first Muslim.

Contradiction: 26:51 says some Egyptians were the first
Muslims.
2:38: Allah ordered Adam and his wife to descend on earth, and to preach on people whatever message they received from Allah.
Contradiction: In verse 20:123, before sending Adam on earth, Allah told him humans on earth would be enemies of one another. This means there were already people on earth when Adam descended on it. So Adam was not the first human created by Allah.
2:47: Allah blesses the Children of Israel more than other believers; He has preferred them above all beings.
Contradiction: 3:33-34 says Allah preferred Adam, Noah,
the house of Abraham, and the house of Imran above all beings.
2:50: Allah parted the sea (Red sea); saved the Children of Israel (i.e., Moses’ people), and drowned Pharaoh in front of the eyes of the Children of Israel.
Contradiction: 10:90 says Pharaoh submitted to Islam.
Contradiction: 10:92 says Allah saved Pharaoh.
2:51: When Moses went to keep his appointment with Allah for forty days, his people reverted to worshipping a cow during his absence.
Contradiction: 7:142 says Moses’ appointment with Allah
was for forty nights.
2:52: Despite their sins of idolatry, Allah forgave the people of Moses.
Contradiction: 2:63 says Allah raised the Mount Sinai
above the Children of Israel and threatened them to submit to Him.
Contradiction: 7:152 says Allah punished them.
2:58: Then Allah asked the people of Moses to humbly enter a city (Jerusalem or Jericho—ibn Kathir) through its gate so that they could find all the provisions they needed for their sustenance.
Contradiction: Allah says in 7:137 He let Moses’ people inherit the land east and west, that is, the land of greater Syria.
2:62: Muslims/Jews/Christians/Sabians—anyone who believes in Allah and the last Day and does a righteous deed will get rewards.
Contradiction: 9:17 says unbelievers will go to hell.
Contradiction: In 3:85 Allah says He only accepts Islam.
Contradiction: 4:150-151 says Allah will severely punish
those who deny Allah and Muhammad and those who separate Allah from
His messengers.
Contradiction: in 5:33 Allah commands Muslims to Crucify or
behead those who criticize Islam and Muhammad or do not convert to
Islam.
2:79: Those Jews wrote their Book with their own hands, and faked that as the Book from Allah, Allah curses them.
Contradiction: 6:34, 6:115 say none has the power to
change the words of Allah.
2:106: Whatever verses Allah abrogates or causes Muhammad to forget, He replaces them with similar or better verses (Muhammad did forget some Qur’anic verses—Walker, p. 166).
Contradiction: 6:34, 6:115 say none can change the words
in the Qur'an.
2:107: The dominion of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah; there is no protector besides Him.
Contradiction: In 13:11, 41:31, 50:17-18, and 82:10 Allah
says angels are our protectors and guards.
Contradiction: 5:55 says Allah’s messengers are our
protectors.
2:116: The Christians belief that Allah had begotten a son is untrue; Allah possesses everything in heavens and on earth, everything worships Him.
Contradiction: 3:180, 15:23, 19:40, 19:79-80, 21:89, 28:58
say Allah inherits from infidels/other creatures.
2:117: Allah creates instantly, by decree; He says 'be' and it is.
Contradiction: 7:54, 10:3, 11:7 and 25:59 say six days of
creation.
Contradiction: 41:9–12 say eight days of creation.
Contradiction: 6:101 says Allah could not create a son for
himself because He does not have a consort (a wife or a concubine).
2:131: Allah asked, and Abraham cheerfully submitted himself to Allah (Abraham was the first Muslim—ibn Kathir.)
Contradiction: 2:37 says Adam was the first Muslim.
Contradiction: 6:14 says Muhammad was the first Muslim.
Contradiction: 7:143 says Moses was the first Muslim.
Contradiction: 26:51 says some Egyptians were the first
Muslims.
2:139: The Islamic, the Jewish and the Christian Allah is the same Allah, do not argue on this. Allah will reward each group according to their deeds.
Contradiction: 9:30 says Jews and Christians are
idolaters.
Contradiction: 3:118, 5:51, 5:57, 58:14 and 60:13 say not to
be friendly with unbelievers, including Jews and the Christians.
2:148: Every nation has a qibla; Allah has given each group of people a law and a way of life.
Contradiction: 25:51 says if willed, Allah could have sent
messengers to every nation to instill fear; but He didn’t.
2:167: Those who plead for another chance, Allah will disown them and send them to hell to dwell there forever.
Contradiction: 6:128 says as long as Allah wishes, not
forever.
2:185: As a guide to mankind, Allah sent the Qur’an in the month of Ramadan (the ENTIRE Qur’an).
Contradiction: 17:106, 25:32 say Allah sent the Qur’an in
stages.
2:219: Wines and gambling are Satan’s handiwork—there are some good but great sins.
Contradiction: 47:15 and 83:25 say Allah will serve
Satan’s handiwork, wine, in Islamic Paradise.
2:221: Do not marry idolatresses until they believe. A believing slave woman is better than a non-believing free woman; do not get your girls married to unbelievers until they (the unbelievers) convert to Islam.
Contradiction: 9:30 says the Jews and the Christians are
idolaters, but Allah allows Muslim men to marry their women without
converting to Islam. According to ibn Abbas, ‘I do not know of a
bigger Shirk than her saying that Jesus is her Lord!’ This means
that the Christian women are idolaters.
2:253: Some apostles (messengers) are above others; to some of them Allah spoke (i.e., Allah has graded His messengers, He had spoken directly to a few of them); to Jesus, Allah gave clear signs and the Holy Spirit.
Contradiction: Allah says in 4:152 He makes no
distinctions among prophets.
2:254: Unbelievers (non-Muslims) are the real wrong-doers; they will have no intercession on the last day.
Contradiction: 2:255 says Allah might appoint intercessor
for anyone He wishes, including some unbelievers.
2:255: Allah sustains and protects all that exists. His throne extends over the heavens; no one can intercede without His permission.
Contradiction: see 2:254.
2:259: Allah caused a man to sleep for a century, then raised him up, and questioned the man how long he thought had been in sleep (in this verse Allah is directly speaking with an ordinary person).
Contradiction: 42:51 says Allah speaks only through a veil or through a messenger.

The contradiction is only in your mind sir. It is only beyond your premative mind to understand the verses. Read the Tafseer and maybe you will be enlightened or maybe you are one of those that Allah described in his holy book : 2:6] As for those who disbelieve, it is the same for them; whether you warn them, or not warn them, they cannot believe. [2:7] GOD seals their minds and their hearing, and their eyes are veiled. They have incurred severe retribution.

its kind of a contradiction for Allah to say there are no contradiction in chapt 4-80 something but in chapt 2-106 said he would replace verses with better ones. on the other hand it might be more of a slippery con artist thing than a contradiction thing

Check out the "genuine" reasons for banning music in Islam as explained by a muslim... "There is a genuine reason for making MUSIC and NOT SOUND haraam in Islaam. I am not talking about the wierd ROCK or other music and dirty lyrics which are so irritating to hear (atleast in Indian subcontinent). I am talking about the beautiful and soothing music. . The problem with soothing music is that you like to listen to it and get immersed in it. U forget everything including God in that period. (Maybe doing some other bad thing like lying, robbery, etc might remind u of God, but music is such a powerful tool of Satan, that it becomes almost impossible to recover out of it and remember God). . But this world is not for enjoying, we have maximum of few decades (not necessary) of life in this world. So forgetting God is not recommended. The life hereafter is eternal, there u can do whatever you want... . And plucking single string or tapping on table once or twice doesn't makes it music and you don't get immersed in it. So listening that is not haraam. Regarding natural music (water flow, flowing of wind/air, etc, etc) is also not haraam because it DOES reminds you of GOD."

Would you stop your general accusations and be specific. You got Mr. Abul Kasem's article. Take a "claimed" contradiction by him, and show us, with your infinite wisdom, that Mr. Abul Kasem is mistaken. Writing general comments like the one you left is just rubbish. You can do better Muhammad. Show us how thoughtful you are.

2:21: Allah created the mankind; they should worship Him. Contradiction: 3:97, 35:15 say Allah does not need mankind and the jinns; He is free of all want. Answer: I do not see contradiction. We are so tiny in the creation of his Kingdome. Yet he preferred human over other creation. XXXXXXXXXXXXXX 2:185: As a guide to mankind, Allah sent the Qur’an in the month of Ramadan (the ENTIRE Qur’an). Contradiction: 17:106, 25:32 say Allah sent the Qur’an in stages. Answer: Quran was first revealed in Ramadan and continued to be revealed over a period of 23 years. XXXXXXXXXXXXXX 2:47: Allah blesses the Children of Israel more than other believers; He has preferred them above all beings. Contradiction: 3:33-34 says Allah preferred Adam, Noah, the house of Abraham, and the house of Imran above all beings. Answer: Why do not you read the verses? Bless and preferred are not the same. Go back to the Arabic and the two words are not same wither. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 2:51: When Moses went to keep his appointment with Allah for forty days, his people reverted to worshipping a cow during his absence. Contradiction: 7:142 says Moses’ appointment with Allah was for forty nights. Answer: where is the contradiction? We have night with a day if someone utilizes the two or a day without a night or a night with out a day. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Finally, your minds are full of contradictions and so desperate to proof something not even there. As usual I wish you the best of luck in your mission and thank you again for giving the opportunity to others to doubt what you post and independently search for Islam and accept it. And this what exactly happened to me. Muhammad

Hey Muhammed, are you o.k.?..... It's o.k. Muhammed..... Really, i understand..... Maybe you are afraid? Maybe you have a block of some kind in your mind due to this fear of your God? Maybe you have been indoctrinated with those crazy hate filled Quranic passages? That God in that book sure sounds like an awfully violent and cruel guy doesn't he Muhammed?

Brother, thank you for giving some details on why you think there are no contradictions. Allow me to analyze what Dr. Abul Kasem says, and what you say.then I will make a judgment who is correct. for Abul Kasem, I will use AK. For you I will use M. I do need to tell you, Arabic is my mother tongue, so I will be reading the arabic Qur'an to see who is correct, M or AK. 2:21 ياايها الناس اعبدوا ربكم الذي خلقكم والذين من قبلكم لعلكم تتقون 3:97 فيه ايات بينات مقام ابراهيم ومن دخله كان امنا ولله على الناس حج البيت من استطاع اليه سبيلا ومن كفر فان الله غني عن العالمين 35:15 ياايها الناس انتم الفقراء الى الله والله هو الغني الحميد My Conclusion: Muhammad you are right on this one. 2:21 is just asking people to worship Him. 3:97 and 35:15 is saying God is rich. This means He could do without your worship, but you are asked to woship anyway. So, there is no real contradiction here.Lets move to your next post 2:185. Here is the Arabic verse: 2:185 شهر رمضان الذي انزل فيه القران هدى للناس وبينات من الهدى والفرقان فمن شهد منكم الشهر فليصمه ومن كان منكم مريضا او على سفر فعدة من ايام اخر يريد الله بكم اليسر ولايريد بكم العسر ولتكملوا العدة ولتكبروا الله على ماهداكم ولعلكم تشكرون 17:106 وقرانا فرقناه لتقراه على الناس على مكث ونزلناه تنزيلا 25:32 وقال الذين كفروا لولا نزل عليه القران جملة واحدة كذلك لنثبت به فؤادك ورتلنه ترتيلا Muhammad, again you are correct here. There is no contradiction. Lets move to your third posting 2:47. Here is the Arabic verse:2:47 يابني اسرائيل اذكروا نعمتي التي انعمت عليكم واني فضلتكم على العالمين ,3:33 ان الله اصطفى ادم ونوحا وال ابراهيم وال عمران على العالمين 3:34 ذرية بعضها من بعض والله سميع عليم This one is iffy, but I'll give it to you Muhammad. The reason is that verse 2:47 uses the word "Faddaltukum" which means preferred you over, meaning that Allah preferred the Jews over All others in the universe. Verse 33 uses the word "Istafa" which could mean "Chose" or "preferred". In any case, while the situation is Iffy, I'll give it to Muhammad that there is no contradiction here. Let's move on. 2:51 ,2:51 واذ واعدنا موسى اربعين ليلة ثم اتخذتم العجل من بعده وانتم ظالمون, 7:142 وواعدنا موسى ثلاثين ليلة واتممناها بعشر فتم ميقات ربه اربعين ليلة وقال موسى لاخيه هارون اخلفني في قومي واصلح ولاتتبع سبيل المفسدين , Actually both verses use the word "Night" so no contradiction here. This one also goes for Muhammad. Good work borther. Now, what about the other contradictions Mr. Abul kasem is talking about. Look at this 2:29 2:29 هو الذي خلق لكم مافي الارض جميعا ثم استوى الى السماء فسواهن سبع سماوات وهو بكل شئ عليم the verse clearly show that Allah created the earth first then created the heavens. Now look at this 79:27 ءانتم اشد خلقا ام السماء بناها 79:28 رفع سمكها فسواها 79:29 واغطش ليلها واخرج ضحاها 79:30 والارض بعد ذلك دحاها This clearly shows that Allah created the heavens first then the earth. Is this not a contradiction Muhammad? It definitely is. So brother, do not just chose the places where Dr. Abul Kasem may heve erred because of his language weakness in Arabic. Please deal with all his claims, not just the ones you think you can defend. So, my final conclusion is this. What Muhammad mentioned is correct and there are no contradictions there. However, Muhammad avoided dealing with all contraditions that Mr. Abul Kasem claimed. Why? Because some of those are for real. No Muslim can defend them, just like the above contradiction i just mentioned. Thank. Note to Muhammad: If you are able to, which I doubt you can, please show us that ALL the claimed contradictions by Mr. Abul Kasem are erroneous. I'll tell you right now, they are not. Just like the above one I mentioned to you. In all of this I rely on no translation but the arabic language itself. Peace to all.

Very good and informative article.......as for the guy or the gal commenting as muhammad, all I can say is that he/she is just as ignorant as the arab barbarian of 6th/7th century he believes a messenger of alla or alla the great arab satan.... these are people like the ones in the story of the naked king who was told by cons that only the wise can see his clothes and the stupid king who himself could not see his own clothes walked around naked not saying anything for fear that his people will think that their king is not wise till a child shouted "the king is naked" and people realised that they are all stupid and conned...... I know quran from end to end to confirm that it is full of contradictions and people who believe that you need explainations or "tafseer" of a mulla to understand their alla's wisdom are actually saying that their alla is so stupid that it cannot explain itself simply enough for it's believers to understand it.

... that the quran is so boring and contains so much gossip. And Allah knows everything blah, blah, blaaah! But if somebody is so almighty and knowing everything - why should he tell so much senseless and useless things? That we are made from sperm and then from clot and that Allah loves the righteous ones? Are we are really waiting for such "revealations"?

The defenders of Islam here use the same emotional arguments that many of us ex-Muslims used to use to defend any criticism of the faith. We also used to be full of pious anger. We would also write angry letters of rebuttal. We also used to say that these critics are just ignorant of true Islam or they lack true knowledge or that they do this because they are evil or willfully blind or that they have sold their souls to “evil” Jews/Christians/Hindus/Atheists/whatever for money or that Islam made lives for women better and so on. However a strange thing began to happen to us the more we studied the scriptures to refute the critics. We found that eventually we ran out of arguments. We could not continue to defend the indefensible with hollow arguments any more with a clear conscience. Our feelings for the whole of humanity began to outweigh any narrow feelings only for fellow Muslims. Our souls began to evolve like everything else in this magnificent and beautiful universe. Ask yourself questions like “How come it is ONLY ordinary Muslims who feel so much hurt at criticism of their faith, that they feel they must write and say something and NEVER any moola or maulana or mufti or ayatollah? If we are wrong these “scholars” would have demolished us with the truth, not so? Mr. MA Khan or Dr Ali Sina would have been left speechless and exposed for liars and they would have been forced to shut down these sites out of sheer embarrassment. So where are these scholars? Not one that I can think of. We know the real reason. They are too scared of making fools of themselves. They prefer to make fools of ordinary decent Muslims to preserve their privileges and power. With suicide bombers, we see the same thing. Only ordinary Muslims are doing it but never the moolas. Have you ever heard of a suicide bomber moola? It will never happen. They look to others to do their dirty work. The same we sadly see now happening in Gaza. The Hamas moolas are hiding like the rats they are, while the ordinary women and children are dying. While the Israelis built bomb shelters to protect their people, Hamas moolas left their people like sitting ducks. Hamas moolas knew that they weren’t going to renew the 6 month truce before they resumed the war. So why did they not protect their people? We know why. They, like all evil moolas throughout Islamic history, don’t care for anybody but their selfish selves. They always look for fools to do their bidding. We ex-Muslims have seen through them for what they really are. We do not hate Muslims. We do not do this for money. We only sincerely hope that as you study Islam for yourselves, you too will stop being their fools. Salaams.

"125 أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ الْخَالِقِينَ Translation: "Do you call upon Ba'al and ignore the best of creators" Does it not mean that there are other gods besides Allah, but He is the best among them? If it is true, then has not Allah contradicted Himslef by saying, "There is not god but Allah?" Does not this mean the end of Islam, as it thrives on the existence of a single creator?

Brother, thanks first. Yes, my own personal conviction is that Muhammad thought that there are other gods. After all, Muhammad lived in a polytheistic society. However, it will be hard to convince Muslim apologetics of this nowadays. Reason being they will claim that a man is a "creator" in the sense that he/she creates poetry, songs, literature, art,..etc. And so, they will explian away the apparent problem in that verse.

"Yes, my own personal conviction is that Muhammad thought that there are other gods." The speaker in the verse was prophet Elias whom Allah quoted in the Quran without disputing his statement. Muslims cannot attribute this confession to Muhammad. This means that Allah has admitted that there are other gods besides Him. Muslims cannot explain away this by talking about poets or others humans. I think this statement in the Quran is the final death nail in the coffin of Islam.

Can u please explain me! Does allah has heart as human has? If allah doesn't then how can he love? Does allah has mouth as human has? If allah doesn't then how can he speak? Does allah has ear as human has? If doesn't then how can he hear? If YES, then why in quran Chapter 112:4 "Say: He, Allah, is One. Allah is He on Whom all depend. He begets not, nor is He begotten; AND NONE IS LIKE HIM".

37.120 Peace be upon Moses and Aaron!" 37.121- Verily, thus do We reward the good-doers. 37.122- Verily! They were two of Our believing slaves. 37.123- And verily, Iliyas (Elias) was one of the Messengers. 37.124- When he said to his people: "Will you not fear Allah? 37.125-"Will you call upon Ba'l (a well- known idol of his nation whom they used to worship) and forsake the Best of creators, 37.126-"Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers?" 37.127- But they denied him [Elias)], so they will certainly be brought forth (to the punishment), 37.128- Except the chosen slaves of Allah.
