you wrote isra 50  : 90 - 95 ... what kind of reference is this ??? \n\nSurah Isra is chapter 17 , its nto 50. and surah 50 is surah Qaf. and it has only 46 verses.. it does not have 90 verses. Check your references.\n\nThis is a LIE , that quran says Muhammad pbuh could not do any miracle. There are number of miracles which Prophet Muhammad pbuh did. If you dont think that miracle is a proof of prophethood, then its your perspective, all the earlier prophets approx, did miracles to proof their prophethood to the peoples\n\nIf one believes in Abraham, Moses, and other Messengers based on the writings in the Old Testament, he must believe in Muhammad based on the writings in the Last Testament, the Quran. Allah’s Messenger Muhammad, as a true Messenger of God, performed more than 1000 miracles by Allah’s leave. Those miracles were witnessed by many thousands of people. Generation after generation, people in the east knew about those miracles. It is time for people in the west to be informed about those miracles. \n\nAllah’s Messenger Muhammad’s miracles range in nature from splitting the moon to healing the sick, not to mention the many prophesies that came true exactly as he foretold. His miracles are much more authentically documented than the miracles of all the Messengers who preceded him. Thus, if one believes that Moses parted the sea based on the reports of the Old Testament, one must believe that Allah split the Moon as a sign that Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم is a true Messenger of God based on the reports of the Quran. The Quran is more authentically documented than the Old Testament. If one believes that Jesus cured the sick based on the reports of the New Testament, one must believe that Muhammad also cured the sick based on the report in the authentic Sunnah (reports of his speech, actions, and approval). If one believes that Jesus turned water into oil, one must believe that Muhammad turned a small amount of water into an amount sufficient for over one thousand men. \n\nsee the picture by nasa of evidences of splitting of moon >> http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap021029.html\n\nYes quran is also the miracle of Prophet Muhammad pbuh. becuase of its high eloquence in literature of Arabic. Where are those contradictions in QUran. you never quoted one????? \n\nQuran has challenge which no other book has\n\n"And if ye are in doubt as to what We have revealed from time to time to Our servant, then produce a chapter like thereunto; and call your witnesses or helpers (if there are any) besides Allah if your (doubts) are true. But if ye cannot – and of a surety ye cannot – then fear the Fire whose fuel is Men and Stones – which is prepared for those who reject faith".\n[Al-Qur’an 2:23-24]\n\n============================================\n\nEDIT >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..\n\nBrother, which verses are you talking about .... i already said that the references you gave are FALSE!!\n\nSurah Isra is chapter 17 , its nto 50. and surah 50 is surah Qaf. and it has only 46 verses.. it does not have 90 verses. and SURAH ANAM is chapter number 6. not 55. There is no mentioning in the quran where it says that Muhammad pbuh could not do any miracles. SO STOP YOUR LIES!\n\n======================\n\nTHE NASKH WHICH YOU TALKING ABOUT IS BECAUSE OF YOUR MISUNDERSTANDING. The quran was revealed in the period of 23 years. and it has different commandments for different types of people. Quran says there are good and bad people among jews and Christians, in chapter 3 , verse 110 . Therefore, we should be good to the good people, and we should be stricts towards bad people of society.... ITS NOT A CONTRADICTION. Where is the contradiction.\n\n========================================

(this isn't an answer directly to the question but is just a comment on the latest answer that has been posted...)\nthe words you have written clearly speaks of your lack of knowledge in what you are supposedly trying to comment to...\nfirstly, the Bible speaks of those things, correct but it doesn't lie on the same plane as the argument being presented in the question...we don't condemn the violence in Koran or like what happened in the Bible...it is simply a question of faith and what kind of leader you are following....\n\n\nIslam: "Religion of Peace" \n\n"Those that make war against Allah and His apostle and spread disorder in the land shall be slain or crucified or have their hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, or be banished from the land.

Return to your comforts and to your dwellings. You shall be questioned all.' 'Woe betide us, we have done wrong' was their reply. And this they kept repeating until We mowed them down and put out their light." (Sura 21.11-15) \n\n"When you meet the unbelievers in jihad, chop off their heads.

The Holy Quran : Chapter: 2 (Al-Baqarah), Verse:254\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \n[2:254] These messengers have We exalted some of them above others; among them there are those to whom God spoke; and some of them He exalted in degrees of rank. And We gave Jesus, son of Mary, clear proofs and strengthened him with the spirit of holiness. And if God had so willed, those that came after them would not have fought with one another after clear Signs had come to them; but they did disagree. Of them were some who believed, and of them were some who disbelieved. And if Allah had so willed, they would not have fought with one another; but Allah does what He desires.

Its like saying all men are rapists.  All men want to dominate and hurt women.  All women are whores.  You just can't generalise like that.\n\nAnd actually not all terrorists are Islamic, there are more than enough terrorists destroying lives in Africa and South America and Ireland to mention a few places.  And these are predominantly christian lands.\n\nDon't be so prejudiced against people, because there are some nice Moslem people out there who are horrified by what the extremists are doing in the name of their faith.  It must be scary times for those who are peaceful to see themselves grouped together with the mass murderers and are subjected to force of ill-will from non-moslems who feel it is their right to punish moslems.\n\nIf a priest abuses a boy, we don't lynch mob all priests, we understand that he is a bad seed.  Similarly we aught not to categorise all moslems as the same.

According to my reading Islam considers men and women to be equal.  Women may work outside of the home as long as their position is not in direct contradiction to the dictates of their faith.  Women retain the right to use their earnings as they see fit and to educate themselves.  According to the Quran "And their Lord hath accepted them, and answered them: Never will I suffer to be lost the work of any of you,be he male or female: ye are members of one another..." To grow intellectually is the duty of every Muslum, man or woman. Anyway food for thought...

Any book that says that you can beat your wife based on a suspicion is belony.  Look at the verse 4:34 in the Koran, it says that if you SUSPECT that your wife is not being loyal to you, first you talk to her, then you tell her to sleep somewhere else and then you can beat her.  So Allah, in all his wisdom, made a big mess!  If a woman who has not cheated on his husband gets questioned by her husband, how would she feel?  It would be a mental torture.  So of course she will deny it, but the man being suspicious and all then tells her to sleep somewhere else, which adds a whole lot to her mental torture.  Then the man beats her.  \n\nThere are also a lot of verses in the Koran that say kill, kill, kill.  Now, before you Muslims tell me that it was given to Mohammed in times of war and that it was for self-defense (yes, I have heard this lie before), allow me to tell you that I know Islam VERY well.  All of Mohammed's wars, execpt for ONE were in offense.

I'm not a Muslim, for the record, but here you go. I do love reading the world's various religious texts and this is what your religion says about your attitude:\n\n\nلاَّ يُحِبُّ اللّهُ الْجَهْرَ بِالسُّوَءِ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ إِلاَّ مَن ظُلِمَ وَكَانَ اللّهُ سَمِيعًا عَلِيمًا\nAllah Does Not Like Speaking Of Evil Publicly (From Anyone)\n(Surah   4:  Ayah  148)\n\n…وَلا تَلْمِزُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ وَلا تَنَابَزُوا بِالألْقَابِ بِئْسَ الاِسْمُ الْفُسُوقُ بَعْدَ الإيْمَانِ…\n...Do Not Defame One Another, Nor Call One Another Names.  It Is An Evil Thing To Be Calling others yy A Bad Name After Embracing The True Faith. (Surah  49:  Ayah  11)\n\nوَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ\nWoe To Every Kind Of Scandal‑Monger And Back-Biter...\n(Surah  104:  Ayah  1)\n\nالَّذِينَ يَلْمِزُونَ الْمُطَّوِّعِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ وَالَّذِينَ لاَ يَجِدُونَ إِلاَّ جُهْدَهُمْ فَيَسْخَرُونَ مِنْهُمْ\nThose Who Slander Such As Give Themselves Freely, To Deeds Of Charity, .....Allah Will Throw Back Their Ridicule On Them; And They Shall Have A Grievous Penalty.  \n(Surah  9:  Ayah  79)

It just follows the pattern of the sick islamic society--- they punish and hold down the very sex who was chosen to bear all their race. They take away the rights of women. They ALWAYS look for a reason to blame the women. I am by no means a feminist. I have oserved this for a very long time. \nI wonder sometimes if the men of the country feel threatened by women??? I respect my husband, he is the head of the household OUT OF RESPECT not out of fear. These men will NEVER know this feeling. That poor woman was abused again by the very system that should have protected her. I do not think ther "religion" is so great if all it teaches is to dominate through fear.

First of all DNA , you tell me can all women afford to pay for DNA ? in all countrys ? of course not.\n\nWomen emtionally cannot handel 4 men nor physically, this would mean she has to have sex atleast 4 times a day everyday with each man, lets say they al like sex twice a day then thats 8 times a day, and the womans body cannot stand this, read the medical reports of prostitutes and thier wrecked cervix's\n\nWhen is Polygamy allowed in Islam? \n\nThe sections of this article are: \n\n- When is polygamy allowed in Islam? \n- What was the purpose of Noble Verse 4:3? \n   - The way I read Noble Verse 4:3. \n- Why didn't Allah Almighty directly prohibit polygamy? \n- Why then did Prophet Muhammad practice polygamy? \n- Can anyone be absolutely fair? \n- Too much illiterate and starving kids damage the society and Islam. \n- What if the person is rich and can afford polygamy? \n- Conclusion. \n\n\nMarriage from multiple women in Islam might not be allowed for those who might result in damaging the society with their marriage by bringing more illiterate, poor, and in many cases starving children to the society.\n\nLet us look at Noble Verse 4:3 "If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice." Notice how Allah Almighty orders men to be either fair to their wives or never marry more than one wife.\n\nLet us look at Noble Verse 4:129 "Ye are never able to be fair and just as between women, even if it is your ardent desire: But turn not away (from a woman) altogether, so as to leave her (as it were) hanging (in the air). If ye come to a friendly understanding, and practise self-restraint, God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful."  Here we clearly see that Allah Almighty tells men that they will never be fair to their wives.  \n\nLet us see why then Allah Almighty temporarily ordered polygamy but yet very highly discouraged it, and why I personally believe from the Noble Quran that polygamy should not be allowed today to most Muslim men in the Muslim world.\n\n \n\nWhat was the purpose of the Noble Verse 4:3? \n\nNoble Verse 4:3 was revealed to Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him in Madina after he migrated to it from Mecca and established an Islamic state there right after the battle of Uhud in which the Muslims not only had lost badly against the Pagans, but also suffered a dramatic decrease in the number of Muslim men.  The Muslim men before that battle were approximately 700.  They became only 400 after the battle.  This loss had left so many Muslim women (1) Widows, and (2) Not able to get married if they were single. \n\nTo make matters even worse, the Muslims had faced yet another battle against the Pagans in Mecca and its neighboring tribes who wanted to attack the Muslims in Madina to finish off Islam once and for all, and by the Jews and the Christians in Madina who betrayed the Muslims in the "battle of Trench" after signing a defense treaty with Muhammad peace be upon him against the Pagans.  \n\nAll praise due to Allah Almighty.  With Allah's Will and Mercy, the Muslims had miraculously won the battle against the Pagans of Mecca and drove them back to where they came from, and then attacked the Jews and the Christians who betrayed the defense treaty and kicked those hypocrites out of Madina forever! \n\nThese continuous battles against the Muslims were very costly in terms of Muslim men's lives.  The women had to be taken care of one way or another.  For this reason, Allah Almighty had revealed the Noble Verse 4:3 to Muhammad peace be upon him to solve the social problems that the Muslims were facing.  That is why at the very beginning of the Noble Verse 4:3 we see Allah Almighty setting a conditional clause for Orphans

1.That not every single Muslim woman who wears the hijab is subservient to men. Sure there are Muslim men who twist the words of God to fit their evil thinking, but that's in all religions. So why should I be the poster child for how bad/backward/silly/claustrophobic others think Islam and the hijab are?\n\n2. Muslims are not commanded to hate and kill the so-called infidels! I'm so sick and tired of hearing that bs. I mean if that's the truth then I would have to hate my mother and her family! \nCome on people! Read the Qu'ran with open eyes and hearts. Chapter 109: The Disbelievers\n1.Say: O! Disbelievers!\n2. I worship not that which you worship,\n3. Nor will you worship that which I worship.\n4. And I shall not worship that which you are worshipping.\n5. Nor will you worship that which I worship.\n6. To you be your religion, and to me my religion.\n\n3. Reading a translation of the Qu'ran is not the same as reading the Qu'ran in Arabic. Arabic is a hard language to translate and the Qu'ran is even harder. I mean even Arabs have a hard time with it. There are words in it that no one knows the meanings to except God. \nSo how can anyone who's read the abriged and translated version claim to have any understanding what's so ever? Qu'ranic scholars study for years to really understand it and even a lay-person such as myself will tell you that every single time i read it I pick up a new meaning. That's the eternal message and beauty of it- a new meaning each time; a new solution to a problem you didn't know you faced.\n\n4. A tafsir or an explanation of the Qu'ran would come in great for anyone who's reading the Qu'ran and just wants to go deeper. A tafsir explains each of the 6000+ verses in detail. It explains the hows, whens, whys, and wheres of each verse. \nAdditionally it not only includes Muslim explanations of the verses, but Jewish as well. (Especially concerning Moses (PBUH)).\n\n5. When I discuss Islam's message with people, they always tell me how my God doesn't have mercy or grace or any other characteristic attributable to a 'good god'. Instead He's all about violence and punishment and retribution. \nI wish those people read the 99 names of God. According to Muslim tradition God has given himself 99 names that are indictive of his characteristics and attributes. Trust me when I say, Muslims cry when hearing His names. I wish people could know them; then they'd know.

Please show me where in the Koran it says that!\n\nWhat youre saying has nothing to do with Islam.\n\nEdit:\nThanks for the link but its taken way out of proportion and out of context.\nIslam regards women very highly. Why do you think there is a Chapter named after Mary in the Koran?? Its called "Mary".\n\nAlso, the Koran respects women so much that it says that Heaven is beneath women. Women are seen as special.\n\nAlso, you can find the same type of verse in other religions.\nDoes that mean they condone violence against women?\nOfcourse not.\nSame with Islam.

It's interesting how Muslims deny or lack knowledge  about their own faith!!! if you trust the translations of any Quran, then you must accept for a fact that God has given permission to the husband as the last "option" to hit his wife!!! \nNow,  because I am a woman  and Muslim who like to use logic, I refused to accept that, because I know for a fact, God does not use force to get things done! In Islam Divorce is an acceptable option given by God. I found a verse in the same chapter that uses the same root word (zha-ra-ba), translated as hit, as a totally different meaning, Moving out! so the last option would be a divorce not hitting your wife!!!! there are many verses that has been mis-translated in the Quran and Muslims are stupid and ignorant to realize that! another example is chopping off the hands of a thief, taken literally and it has been practiced for years!!! Muslims are in big trouble facing their creator!

Read to understand my friend.\n\n[003:053] "Our Lord! We believe in what You have sent down, and we follow the Messenger ['Îsâ (Jesus)]; so write us down among those who bear witness (to the truth, i.e. Lâ ilâha illallâh – none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh)." \n\n[003:054] And they (disbelievers) plotted [to kill 'Îsâ (Jesus) ['alayhis-salâm]], and Allâh planned too. And Allâh is the Best of those who plan. \n\n[003:055] And (remember) when Allâh said: "O 'Îsâ (Jesus)! I will make you sleep and raise you to Myself and clear you [of the forged statement that 'Îsâ (Jesus) is Allâh's son] of those who disbelieve, and I will make those who follow you (monotheists, who worship none but Allâh) superior to those who disbelieve [in the Oneness of Allâh, or disbelieve in some of His Messengers, e.g. Muhammad [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam], 'Îsâ (Jesus), Mûsâ (Moses), or in His Holy Books, e.g. the Taurât (Torah), the Injîl (Gospel), the Qur'ân] till the Day of Resurrection. Then you will return to Me and I will judge between you in the matters in which you used to dispute." \n\n[003:056] "As to those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe torment in this world and in the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers." \n\n[003:057] And as for those who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh) and do righteous good deeds, Allâh will pay them their reward in full. And Allâh does not like the Zalimûn (polytheists and wrong doers). \n\n[003:058] This is what We recite to you (O Muhammad [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam]) of the Verses and the Wise Reminder (i.e. the Qur'ân). \n\n[003:059] Verily, the likeness of 'Îsâ (Jesus) before Allâh is the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: "Be!" – and he was. \n\n[003:060] (This is) the truth from your Lord, so be not of those who doubt. \n\n[003:061] Then whoever disputes with you concerning him ['Îsâ (Jesus)] after (all this) knowledge that has come to you [i.e. 'Îsâ (Jesus) being a slave of Allâh, and having no share in Divinity], say (O Muhammad [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam]): "Come, let us call our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves – then we pray and invoke (sincerely) the Curse of Allâh upon those who lie." \n  \n \n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\n(V.3:55) The advent (descent) of 'Îsâ (Jesus), [son of Maryam (Mary)] ['alayhis-salâm]. \na) Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllâhu 'anhu]: Allâh's Messenger [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam] said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, surely ['Îsâ (Jesus)], the son of Maryam (Mary) will shortly descend amongst you (Muslims), and will judge mankind justly by the law of the Qur'ân (as a just ruler); he will break the Cross and kill the pigs and there will be no Jîzyah* (i.e. taxation taken from non-Muslims). Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it, and a single prostration to Allâh (in prayer) will be better than the whole world and whatever is in it." Abu Hurairah added: "If you wish, you can recite (this Verse of the Qur'ân): "And there is none of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) but must believe in him [i.e. 'Îsâ (Jesus) ['alayhis-salâm] as a Messenger of Allâh and a human being] before his ['Îsâ (Jesus) ['alayhis-salâm] or a Jew's or a Christian's] death, and on the Day of Resurrection, he ['Îsâ (Jesus) ['alayhis-salâm]] will be a witness against them." (V.4:159). \n(See Fath Al-Bari.) According to the quotation of Kushmaihani there is the word Al-Jizyah instead of Al-Harb.
