1) Islam is the only
acceptable religion
3:85 “And whoever
seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the
Hereafter he will be one of the losers.”
2) No Free Will
81:27-29 “Verily this
is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: (With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight: But ye shall not will except as Allah
wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds.”
2.1)
God misleading people
2:15 [But] Allah mocks them and prolongs
them in their transgression [while] they wander blindly.
2:17 “Allah mocks at them and gives them
increase in their wrong-doings to wander blindly.”
3) Muhammad responding to critics
2:13: And when it is said to them,
"Believe as the people have believed," they say, "Should we
believe as the foolish have believed?" Unquestionably, it is they who are
the foolish, but they know [it] not.
68:44: So leave Me, [O Muhammad], with [the matter of] whoever denies the Qur'an. We will progressively lead them [to punishment] from where they do not know.
68:44: So leave Me, [O Muhammad], with [the matter of] whoever denies the Qur'an. We will progressively lead them [to punishment] from where they do not know.
4) Ad-Hominems/
Insults
98:6 “Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the
Scripture and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally
therein. Those are the worst of creatures.”
5) Conspiratorial and
Paranoid Muhammad
2:14 “And when they meet those who believe, they say, "We
believe"; but when they are alone with their evil ones, they say, "Indeed, we are with you; we were
only mockers."
6) Angels taught
black magic
2:102
“And they followed [instead] what the devils had recited during the reign
of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic and that which was
revealed to the two angels at Babylon
7) If it was not from god then there would
be contradictions in it.
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.”
8) Only Allah knows
what is in the womb
31:34: Indeed, Allah [alone] has knowledge of the Hour and sends
down the rain and knows what is in the wombs. And no soul perceives what it
will earn tomorrow, and no soul perceives in what land it will die. Indeed,
Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.
Hadith Bukhari Vol. 6, Book 60, Hadith 219 : Allah's Apostle said,
"The keys of Unseen are five which none knows but Allah: None knows what
will happen tomorrow but Allah; none knows what is in the wombs (a male child
or a female) but Allah; none knows when it will rain but Allah; none knows at
what place one will die; none knows when the Hour will be established but
Allah."
9) Muhammad called a
liar
16:101 - And when We substitute a verse in place of a verse - and
Allah is most knowing of what He sends down - they say, "You, [O Muhammad], are but an inventor [of
lies]." But most of them do not know.
25:4 – “And those who disbelieve say, "This [Qur'an] is not except a falsehood he invented, and another
people assisted him in it." But they have committed an injustice and a lie.”
10) Muhammad accused
of learning or being helped
16:103 - And We certainly know that they say, "It is only a
human being who teaches the Prophet." The tongue of the one they refer to
is foreign, and this Qur'an is [in] a clear Arabic language.
25:4 – “And those who disbelieve say, "This [Qur'an] is not
except a falsehood he invented, and another
people assisted him in it." But they have committed an injustice and a
lie.
25:5 – “And they say, "Legends of the former peoples which he
has written down, and they are dictated to him morning and afternoon."
11) Skepticism of the
Meccan Polytheists
i) Why the Qur'an wasn’t produced all at once?
25:32-33 – “And those who disbelieve say, "Why was the Qur'an
not revealed to him all at once?" Thus [it is] that We may strengthen
thereby your heart. And We have spaced it distinctly. ”
ii) Why the Qur’an wasn’t revealed to an angel that would appear to the
Meccans?
25: 7 – “And they say, "What is this messenger that eats food
and walks in the markets? Why was there not sent down to him an angel so he
would be with him a
warner?”
12) Equality or lack there of for Slaves
16:75 – “Allah puts forward the example (of two men a believer and
a disbeliever); a slave (disbeliever) under the possession of another, he has
no power of any sort, and (the other), a man (believer) on whom We have
bestowed a good provision from Us, and He spends thereof secretly and openly.
Can they be equal? (By no means, not). All the praises and thanks be to Allah.
Nay! (But) most of them know not.”
13) Muslim does not doubt
49:15 – “Only those are Believers who have believed in Allah
and His Messenger, and have never since doubted, but have striven with their
belongings and their persons in the Cause of Allah: Such are the sincere ones”
14) Inimitability of Qur'an
17:88 – "Say, "If mankind
and the jinn gathered in order to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could
not produce the like of it, even if they were to each other
assistants.""
2:23-24 - "And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful. But if you do not - and you will never be able to - then fear the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers."
10:37-38 - "And it was not [possible] for this Qur'an to be produced by other than Allah, but [it is] a confirmation of what was before it and a detailed explanation of the [former] Scripture, about which there is no doubt, from the Lord of the worlds. Or do they say [about the Prophet], "He invented it?" Say, "Then bring forth a surah like it and call upon [for assistance] whomever you can besides Allah, if you should be truthful.""
11:13-14 - "Or do they say, "He invented it"? Say, "Then bring ten surahs like it that have been invented and call upon [for assistance] whomever you can besides Allah, if you should be truthful." And if they do not respond to you - then know that the Qur'an was revealed with the knowledge of Allah and that there is no deity except Him. Then, would you [not] be Muslims?"
14.1) Response by Meccans
8.31 – "And when Our verses are recited to them, they say,
"We have heard. If we willed, we could say [something] like this. This is
not but legends of the former peoples.""
15) Abrupt Change in Narrator
21:18-19 – "Rather, We
dash the truth upon falsehood, and it destroys it, and thereupon it departs.
And for you is destruction from that which you describe. To Him
belongs whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those near Him are not
prevented by arrogance from His worship, nor do they tire."
16) Muhammad speaks
in 1st person
51:49-51- “And of all things We
(Allah) created two mates; perhaps you will remember. So flee to Allah .
Indeed, I (Muhammad) am to you from
Him a clear warner. And do not make [as equal] with Allah another deity.
Indeed, I (Muhammad) am to you from
Him a clear warner.”
17) Charity can be
used for Islamic Proselytizing
9:60 – “Zakah expenditures are only for the poor and for the needy
and for those employed to collect [zakah] and
for bringing hearts together [for Islam] and for freeing captives [or
slaves] and for those in debt and for the cause of Allah and for the [stranded]
traveler - an obligation [imposed] by Allah . And Allah is Knowing and Wise.”
Tafsir ibn Kathir – “Al-Mu'allafatu Qulubuhum There are several
types of Al-Mu'allafatu Qulubuhum. There are those who are given alms to
embrace Islam... Some
of Al-Mu'allafatu Qulubuhum is given from alms so that they become better in
Islam and their heart firmer in faith... Some people are given because some of
his peers might embrace Islam, while others are given to collect alms from
surrounding areas, or to defend Muslim outposts.” http://www.qtafsir.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2543&Itemid=64
18) Muhammad &
Self-Serving Revelations
33:36 – “It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when
Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should [thereafter]
have any choice about their affair. And whoever disobeys Allah and His
Messenger has certainly strayed into clear error.”
33:37 – “And [remember, O Muhammad], when you said to the one on
whom Allah bestowed favor and you bestowed favor, "Keep your wife and fear
Allah ," while you concealed within yourself that which Allah is to
disclose. And you feared the people, while Allah has more right that you fear
Him. So when Zayd had no longer any need for her, We married her to you in
order that there not be upon the believers any discomfort concerning the wives
of their adopted sons when they no longer have need of them. And ever is the
command of Allah accomplished.”
33:50 – “...a believing woman if she gives herself to the Prophet
[and] if the Prophet wishes to marry her, [this is] only for you, excluding the
[other] believers...”
19) Meccans on
Ressurection
17:49-51- “And they say, "When we are bones and crumbled
particles, will we [truly] be resurrected as a new creation?" Say,
"Be you stones or iron Or [any] creation of that which is great within
your breasts." And they will say, "Who will restore us?" Say,
"He who brought you forth the first time." Then they will nod their
heads toward you and say, "When is that?" Say, "Perhaps it will
be soon –“
44:34-37- “Indeed, these [disbelievers] are saying, There is not
but our first death, and we will not be resurrected. Then bring [back] our
forefathers, if you should be truthful.”
45:24-26- “And they say, "There is not but our worldly life;
we die and live, and nothing destroys us except time." And they have of
that no knowledge; they are only assuming. And when Our verses are recited to
them as clear evidences, their argument is only that they say, "Bring
[back] our forefathers, if you should be truthful." Say, "Allah
causes you to live, then causes you to die; then He will assemble you for the
Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt, but most of the people do
not know."
