   First do not talk about what you have no knowledge.
   I don’t have enough time to answer all questions. INSHALLAH will try best.
   Answer Q2
   Rahman Family:-
   Grandfather is 60 years old, father is 40 years old, son is 20 years old
   How old is Rahman family ?
   60+40+20 = 120 Is it so…?
   Or 60 years old.
   Universe 2 days earth 2 days mountain 4 days
   With out earth mountain can be build. So to build mountain it will take 4 days
   Think with reasoning (ulul albab)

   1. Ali Baba,
      The universe takes 2 days to create but mountains takes 4 days to create?
      It’s you who need to “ulul albab”.

      Do you know that mountains are part of the earth? Allah claims mountains were pegged on the earth! That is not only false but ridiculous.

5. Answer Q1

   Quran 32.5 is time vs. distance; this gives us speed of angels which turned out to be the speed of light. However Quran 22.47 and Quran 70.4 are time vs. time (no distance); this is time dilation. Quran 22.47 compares time of Earth with time at Paradise/Hell (1 day vs. 1000 years). While Quran 70.4 compares time on Earth with time in wormholes (1 day vs. 50,000 years).
   It is the angels who carry out these orders. Those people back then measured the distances neither in kilometers nor in miles but rather by how much time they needed to walk. For example, a village two days away meant a distance equivalent to walking for two days; ten days away meant a distance equivalent to walking for ten days… However in this verse the Quran specifies 1000 years of what they counted (not what they walked). Those people back then followed the lunar calendar and counted 12 lunar months each year. These months are related to the moon and not related to the sun. Hence in 1 day the angels will travel a distance of 1000 years of what they counted (the moon). Since this verse is referring to distance, then God is saying that angels travel in one day the same distance that the moon travels in 12000 lunar orbits. We discovered that in an inertial geocentric frame 12000 Lunar Orbits/Earth Day is equivalent to the Speed of Light.

   1. Ali Baba,
      Sorry to say that’s hogwash.
      This is called deceptive re-interpretation.
      Wormholes? Time dilation? Are you serious?
      You find all that in the same book that says stars are missiles that allah shoots at demons?

6. Answer Q3
   Pay attention.
   Samawat and Sama is to different word
   Samawat is universe and sama is sky (sphere/dome/ionosphere etc)

   Hold your tongue if you no knowledge of it

   Reply

   1. Ali Baba,
      Your response does not resolve the contradiction but digs a bigger hole for your Quran.

      In 2:29, Allah says he created the earth first and then created samawat. So you’re saying he created the earth before the universe?
      Is the earth outside of the universe?
      Actually both the words sama and samawat are in 2:29!
      Sama is translated as heaven. Samawatin is translated as plural heavens.
      Try again.

7. Answer Q4
   When we describe a complex thing, different word (Synonyms) is used.
   Example:-
   Computer is made of hardware and software
   Computer is made of plastic and iron metal
   Computer is made of electrical and mechanical
   Parts
   Computer is made of diode microprocessor resistance
   All above statement is true. Similarly Quran describe human body.
   In case of nothing
   I was born March 17 1920
   Mother khatun father Rahman, in March 17 1919 I was nothing, not in existence in the world or to my parents

   1. Ali Baba,
      You claimed the different words are synonyms.
      Synonyms mean they have the same meaning.
      Water, clay, blood clot, earth, a drop of sticky fluid are not the same thing!
      By the way, human beings are not made from blood clot.

8. As well as these, an important category is contradictions between the stories repeated in multiple surahs. This and recent academic work has now led to many newly noticed contradictions. Around 20 are covered in this article.

   https://quranvariants.files.wordpress.com/2022/04/narrative-contradictions-quran.pdf

   From the page https://quranvariants.wordpress.com/narrative-contradictions-in-the-quran/

   For example, the story of Abraham and the angels has four contradictions between two surahs. The timing of Allah’s forgiveness of Adam is confused between three surahs. There are many sequence contraditions etc.

10. Here is a list of disproves of some of the so called “contradictions”. I could continue through the entire page here, but frankly, as I have shown in the text below, some of these “contradictions” aren’t even worth dealing with, since they are just the result of a lack of reading and/or understanding. But the following list should be sufficient enough to show that the contradiction does not occur in the Quran, but in the people trying to read it:

    1. How long is one day according to Allah?
    a. 1 day is equivalent to 1000 years (22:47)
    b. 1 day is equivalent to 50,000 years (70:4)

    a. And indeed, a day with your Lord is like a thousand years of those which you count.
    b. The angels and the Spirit will ascend to Him during a Day the extent of which is fifty thousand years.

    Two different occasions. One is a day with God, one is a day in which the angels ascend to God. And since a day is no fixed definition of time (day on earth is longer than day on Jupiter, just 9h), there is no contradiction.

    2. How long did Allah take to create the earth?
    a. 6 days (7:45, 10:3, 11:7, 25:59)
    b. 8 days (41:9-12)
    7:45: Who averted [people] from the way of Allah and sought to make it [seem] deviant while they were, concerning the Hereafter, disbelievers. – No word about the creation of earth.
    41:9-12: this is a passage about how long Allah took to create different things. It does not say anything about it being one creation at a time, but rather a list of how long each creation took individually. Earth two days, mountains and living beings four days, heaven two days, and the whole process took 6 days. An example to make it more clear: if you would cook a meal, and it took you 3 hours in total, you could still divide every part of the meal into their own processes and measure, how long they took individually. Meat took the entire 3 hours to cook, salat took 15 minutes to make, potatoes took 1 hour to make etc. Is this a contradiction? No, since you are able to create more than one thing at the same time. If you can, than God can with ease. So no contradiction here.

    3. Is heaven older or the earth older? Which was created first?
    a. Earth was created first (2:29, 41:9)
    b. Heaven was created first (79:27-30)

    79:27-30: it does not say that earth was created first (which is the word khalaqa). That word does not occur in 79:30. It says the earth was spread by Allah. To spread something, it needs to already exist. Therefore no contradiction.

    4. From what substance were humans made from?
    a. A blood clot (96:1-2)
    b. Water (21:30)
    c. Burned clay (15:26)
    d. Dust (3:59)
    e. Nothing (19:67)
    f. Earth (11:61)
    g. A drop of thick fluid ( 16:4, 75:37)
    h. Sticky clay (37:11)

    Who would in all honesty believe that this is a contradiction? Are you as a human made up of just one element or one substance? They are made out of numerous things, like water, carbon, oxygen, iron, sodium, phosphorus etc. Is your smartphone made out of just one material? All the verses that were listed include the materials humans are made of and their development as an embryo. Nothing of that is contradictory in the slightest.

    5. Is Shirk (idolatry) an unforgivable sin?
    a. Unforgivable (4:48, 4:116)
    b. Forgivable (4:153, 25:68-71)
    4:48: Indeed, Allah does not forgive associating others with Him ˹in worship˺
    4:153 Then they took the calf for worship after receiving clear signs. Still We forgave them for that ˹after their repentance˺ and gave Moses compelling proof.
    Vers 4:48 contains the simple information, that shirk is a great sin, which will not be forgiven of the day of judgment.
    Verse 4:153 tells the story of the companions of Moses, who went on the wrong path by worshipping a calf, but ones again found the right path. They didn’t die as mushrikun.
    The last verye, 25:68-71 you cited is proof of that: ˹They are˺ those who do not invoke any other god besides Allah, nor take a ˹human˺ life—made sacred by Allah—except with ˹legal˺ right,1 nor commit fornication. And whoever does ˹any of˺ this will face the penalty. Their punishment will be multiplied on the Day of Judgment, and they will remain in it forever, in disgrace. As for those who repent, believe, and do good deeds, they are the ones whose evil deeds Allah will change into good deeds. For Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
    So whoever repents and leaves shirk, murder etc. and improves as a human, will be forgiven. But to repent being alive is still necessary, you cannot repent on the day of judgement. If Allah would not forgive anyone who committed shirk ones, than that would mean no one could become a believer during their lifetime. So ones again no contradiction.

    6. What is the punishment for adultery?
    a. 100 lashes for both the man & woman (24:2)
    b. Life imprisonment for the woman but no punishment to the man (4:15)
    c. Grant pardon (4:16)
    d. Stoning to death (Bukhari 8:816)

    a. The main punishment for adultery (called “zina”) is verse 24:2, which is lashes.

    b. The word “zina” however does not appear in 4:15, instead it says “fahisha“. Depending on the translation, it means something completely different. One translation says “shamefulness” one says “indecent behavior” and so on. Which means something else is meant here than adultery.

    c. Ones again no mentioning of “zina”. Some interpret this verse as two males engaging in homosexuality, since it says “wa ladhani”, which refers to “two men” commiting the shamefulness.

    So no contradiction here again.

    d. This is not from the Quran, so irrelevant in showing, that the Quran has no contradictions.

    7. Did Noah’s son drown?
    a. All of Noah’s family survived ( 21:76)
    b. Noah’s son drowned (4:15, 11:43)

    a. 21:76 And ˹remember˺ when Noah had cried out to Us earlier, so We responded to him and delivered him and his family1 from the great distress.
    b. 4:15: Wrong verse, has nothing to do with Noah.
    11:43: He replied, “I will take refuge on a mountain, which will protect me from the water.” Noah cried, “Today no one is protected from Allah’s decree except those to whom He shows mercy!” And the waves came between them, and his son was among the drowned.
    Verse 21:76 does not say that the flood came, but talks about “distress”. At this point in the story, there was no flood to begin with. It is obvious when the next verse is read: “And We made him prevail over those who had rejected Our signs. They were truly an evil people, so We drowned them all.” This proves, that the “distress” at 21:76 was before the flood and therefore at this point his son could not have possibly drowned.
    Once again the contradiction lies not in the Quran, but in the people not even reading it properly.

    8. Did Pharoah drown or was he saved?
    a. Pharaoh survived the battle (10:92)
    b. Pharaoh drowned (28:40, 17:103, 43:55)

    a. 10:92: Today We will preserve your corpse so that you may become an example1 for those who come after you.
    Interesting. You understand “preserving the corpse” as someone having survived a battle? I am starting to see where the actual problem here is…
    But again, not a contradiction, somehow just not able to read correctly.

    9. Is Allah merciful?
    a. Yes (1:3)
    b. No (4:56)

    1:3 the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.
    4:56 Surely those who reject Our signs, We will cast them into the Fire. Whenever their skin is burnt completely, We will replace it so they will ˹constantly˺ taste the punishment. Indeed, Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.
    This ist he typical question of “How can Allah punish people and still be merciful?”
    Because Allah has many names, and apart from “the merciful” he is referred to as “Al Adl, the utterly Just”.
    Justice is for those at the day of judgement, who are evil doers and disbelievers, which means, that they will not be given an injust treatment, no matter what they did in their lives. Mercy is for those who repent and believe and do good deeds.
    Proven in the very next verse, 4:57: “As for those who believe and do good, We will admit them into Gardens under which rivers flow, to stay there for ever and ever.”
    No contradiction to be found.

    10. Does Allah speak directly with people?
    a. No (42:51)
    b. Yes, various Moses, Adam, Muhammad, and some unknown person. (4:164, 2:36, 53:11, 2:259)

    11. Does Allah forgive all sins?
    a. Yes (39:53)
    b. No (4:116)

    a. Say, “O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah . Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.”
    I already answered to that, so I will just copy the text:
    “So whoever repents and leaves shirk, murder etc. and improves as a human, will be forgiven. But to repent being alive is still necessary, you cannot repent on the day of judgement. If Allah would not forgive anyone who committed shirk ones, than that would mean no one could become a believer during their lifetime. So ones again no contradiction.“

    4. I find it important to read the Note: Many of the above demonstrates what happens when we adopt the same critical and unsympathetic approach to the Quran that Muslim apologists often employ against the Holy Bible – an approach that does not allow for the possibility of harmonization. This critical method of interpreting the Holy Bible leaves Muslim apologists with no other choice but to accept the fact that their own respective scripture fails the test of logical consistency (which it certainly does, unlike the Holy Bible).

11. Question no 15.. will give views a complete misconception about Islam. Allah never said fight them. Instead Allah says; fight them if u are being attacked & if there is no room for reasoning. Also its Better to forgive.. but don’t allow to be oppressed.refrain from too much tolerance cos that may leaf to oppression.
