For Koran expert: Koran mentions Allah's daughters:  AL-Lat, AL-Uzza and Manat?
926587
Fact # 1\nAllah is the Arabic name for God. All Arabs, not only Muslims, call God Allah.\n\nFact # 2\nQuraish people believe in God (they call God Allah because they are Arabs). They used to worship statues as their minds would not go beyond the 5 senses at that time (just like people of Abraham). They worship statues (Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat) as they thought those seen statues will be a medium between them and the invisible God.\n\nFact # 3\nAl-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat are feminine names. (Arabic is like French, there are feminine names and masculine names).\n\nFact # 4\nBeofre Islam, baby girls was to be buried alive as they see it an issue of pride & honor to have only boys not girls.\n\nFact # 5\nThe Arabic word ("Banat") has 2 meanings; it means girls, and also means daughters. The context of verses where these 3 idols mentined in Quran indicate girls not daughters.\n\nSo the meaning of verses where (Banat) was mentioned is that:\nYou pagan Arabs, you bury your daughters because you think they bring you shame, and you don't want any for yourselves except boys, then you give feminine names for the idols you worship who you think will carry your good deeds to God. So it's a kind of objection from God for this unjust division (from pagan Arabs perspective).\n\nP.S. Abdullah, is same as Abdu Allah, which means God worshipper. pagan Arabs believe in Allah, but they were polytheist and takes idols as representitives for God.

TO Cooooool: Here're some errors in Qur'an, if you want more - there're plenty of scholar websites on the web showing this. Other Historical Errors\n\nDoes the reader believe that Abraham did not offer Isaac, but Ishmael, as a sacrifice? This is what all Muslim scholars say. Do you know that the Qur'an claims that Haman was pharaoh's prime minister even though Haman lived in Babylon one thousand years later? Yet the Qur'an says so. The Qur'an says that the one who picked Moses from the river was not his sister but his mother (28:6-8), and that a Samaritan was the one who molded the golden calf for the children of Israel and misguided them, and the golden calf was lowing (refer to chapter 20:85-88) though it is well-known that Samaria was not in existence at that time. The Samaritans came after the Babylonian exile. How could one of them have made the golden calf for the people of Israel?\n\nConcerning the birth of Christ, the Qur'an teaches that the Virgin Mary gave birth to him under the shade of a palm tree and not in a manger of sheep (refer to Mary 19:23). The Qur'an ignores all the documented historical evidence available to all people across the ages and brings us new discoveries!\n\nThe Qur'an claims (Chapter 2:125-127) that Abraham and Ishmael, his son, are the ones who built The Ka'ba in Mecca in Saudi Arabia. The late Dr. Taha Husayn (the most famous professor of Arabic literature in Egypt) acknowledges that the information recorded in the Qur'an pertaining to the construction of Ka'ba at the hand of Abraham and Ishmael is not historically documented. He said:\n\n"The case of this episode is very obvious because it is of recent date and came into vogue just before the rise of Islam. Islam exploited it for religious reasons" (quoted in Mizan al-Islam by Anwar al-Jundi, p. 170).\n\nThis declaration invoked the rage of the Muslim scholars against him. The former president of Tunisia did the same thing when he stated that the Qur'an contains mythical stories. Muslim scholars revolted against him and threatened to kill him because these are Muhammad's orders - kill anybody who insults the Qur'an. So what could Taha Husayn or Abu Ruqayba [better known in the West as Bourgiba] (or we) do if the Qur'an rejects the most scientifically documented historical stories? Are we supposed to shut up our mouth and close our minds lest we be killed?

yes, the last one too\n\n\n"[38] And indeed We sent Messengers before you (O Muhammad (peace be upon him)) and made for them wives and offspring. And it was not for a Messenger to bring a sign except by Allâh's Leave. (For) every matter there is a Decree (from Allâh). [39] Allâh blots out what He wills and confirms (what He wills). And with Him is the Mother of the Book "\n\nThe Holy Qur'an

Are you talking about the Koran? \nAll 3 religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam have the same roots. Both the Muslims and the Jews consider Abraham to be thier father, and Jews and Muslims refer to each other as "Cousins".

The Qur'an, while referring to the rewards of the pious in the Hereafter, has categorically stated that:\n\nAll persons - men as well as women - shall be fully rewarded for their deeds and shall not be wronged in the least (Aal Imraan 3: 195, Al-Nisaa 4: 124, Al-Nahl 16: 97, Ghaafir 40: 40); \nThey shall get all that they may desire and all that they can ask for, as a first gift from God. His blessings would follow subsequently (Fussilat 41: 31); and \nThey - (men as well as women) - shall have perfected mates/counterparts/spouses ( Arabic: Azwajun Mutahharatun) as a reward of their deeds (Al-Baqarah 2: 25, Aal Imraan 3: 15, Al-Nisaa 4: 57). \nAs should be obvious from the above points, there is absolutely no difference in the reward of men and women, as it is mentioned in the Qur'an. Furthermore, it may be noted that the Qur'an has not mentioned anything about '70 huries'. The Qur'an has only mentioned 'perfected spouses/counterparts'. The numerical value of 70 is derived from a Quranic commentary by Ibn kathir.

The Koran was bestown from Allah through the Angel Jibra'el (Gabriel) to Prophet Mohammed bit by bit all though his life from when he was fourty till he died during the years 610- 632 and Allah Knows Best.\nThen the Abu Bakkr and Omar Ibn Al-Khattab worked together to collect all parts of the Quran and put it in a book organized by the date it was bestown.

The Quran makes three references to the return of Jesus son of Mary (may peace be upon him) to the earth - i.e. his descent from the sky - in order to accomplish various tasks.\n\nTHE FIRST REFERENCE: is in Surah Nisaa’, verses (156-159). As for the context of these verses, Allah, the Exalted, mentions the fabrications of the Jews, their slander of Mary, their rejection of Faith, and claim that they killed Jesus son of Mary - the Messenger of Allah. Thereupon Allah, the Exalted, declares the falsity of these claims and says, "And because of their saying (boasting), ‘We killed Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah,’ - but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but it was made to appear to them so." [an-Nisaa’ 4:157] We have learned from the preceding sections about the disciple who resembled Jesus and voluntarily sacrificed and ransomed himself, as has been specifically stated by the leading scholars of Islam.\n\nSO WHAT EXACTLY HAPPEDNED THEN? Allah, the Exalted, raised Jesus son of Mary to the sky. His enemies, the Jews, failed to harm him, let alone kill and crucify him. This is a clear and unambiguous text that carries no room for another interpretation. It states clearly that Allah, the Exalted, raised Jesus to Himself - bodily and his soul - in order to save him from the Jews murdering and crucifying him. Allah, the Exalted, says in the Quran, "But Allah raised him up (with his body and soul) unto Himself; and Allah is Ever All-Powerful, All-Wise." [an-Nisaa’ 4:158]\n\nSo, if anyone claims that only the soul was raised, it would be incorrect, as is shown from the two following perspectives.\n\nFIRSTLY, Allah made a mention of this raise in the context of refutation of the claim of the Jews that they killed the Christ. So, if it were that only the soul was raised, then that would actually mean an acknowledgment of the claim of the Jews that they killed the Christ - which is to remove his soul!\n\nSECONDLY, if it were true that only his soul was raised, there would remain no distinction for Jesus above the rest. For all Prophets (peace be upon them), and in fact all believing Muslims, have their souls raised to the sky upon their death. So, does there remain anything that distinguishes Jesus, for which Allah makes a special marked mention in the Quran that He raised him?\n\n\nAfter establishing this point, another Quranic verse follows in the same context of the ones that preceded. This one clearly bears evidence on another return of the Christ (peace be upon him) to the earth and that he will descend from the sky. The purpose of this is the crucial role he will play upon his return to the earth. Allah, the Exalted, says, "And there is none of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) but must believe in him (Jesus son of Mary as a Messenger of Allah and a human being) before his death. And on the Day of Resurrection, he will be a witness against them." [an-Nisaa’ 4:159] \n\nThe verse presents the message in a future tense, so it is with regards to the events to come after the raising of the Christ. It informs that some of the People of the Book will believe in the Christ. But when will that be? It will be upon his descent, his return and coming onto the earth once again. Imam Tabari, the renowned scholar of the Quranic exegesis (may Allah cover him in mercy), explained this. He said, “The meaning of the verse ‘And there is none of the people of the Scripture but must believe in him’, that is: in Jesus, ‘before his death’, that is: before the death of Jesus. It is explained as follows: that all of them will affirm and acknowledge him when he descends to kill the Antichrist, thereafter, all the religion will give way to only the one, which is the pure upright religion of Islam - the religion of Abraham (may the peace be him)." [See Tafsir at-Tabari 4:356-357].\n\nTHE SECOND REFERENCE in the Noble Quran to the imperative nature of the descent of Je

Since the koran is mostly a recompile of the bible with some major edits done long before the US were in existence I would like you to name the exact sura where the US is referred to as "Great White Satan".\nBut it is always educating to learn what rubbish some people believe if it only fits their view of the world.

she is  the mother of Jesus  who is considered one of the most important prophets of Islam.\nquran respected her as a mother of jesus \nthe nineteenth chapter of the Qur'an is named after her and is about her life.\nAccording to the Qur'an, Mary's father was Nabi Imran and her mother is unnamed\n The mother of Mary, said: "O my Lord! I do dedicate into Thee what is in my womb for Thy special service: So accept this of me: For Thou hearest and knowest all things." (Qur'an 3:35). When Mary was delivered, she said: "O my Lord! Behold! I am delivered of a female child!" (Qur'an 3:36). She had expected her baby to be a male child \n\nThe Qur'an quite decisively declares that Jesus was the result of a virgin birth\nSura 5 Signs 116-119 of The Qur'an includes the Prophecy of the Judgement Day where "Jesus son of Mary" will be questioned by God as regards those who worship him and Mary, and that Jesus will deny them\n\nHoly Virgin Mary is regarded as the best woman that ever came on the face of the Earth. There are several verses in the Quran that praise her and confirm that she was an extremely chaste and pious woman. Mary is also the Queen of All Women in Heaven.

Sahih Bukhari Volume 5 Book 58 No. 188\nMerits of the Helpers in Madinah (Ansaar)\n\nNarrated 'Amr Ibn Maimun: 'During the pre-Islamic period of ignorance I saw a she-monkey surrounded by a number of monkeys. They were all stoning it, because it had committed illegal sexual intercourse. I too, stoned it along with them.'\n\nFirst and foremost this was not the saying of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. Read it carefully, there is no mention of Prophet's s.a.w name whatsoever. This narration is authentic, however it came from a man name 'Amr Ibn Maimun who narrated this story above; that animals have some sort of restrictions as regards to sexual intercourse. The story implies that there are some limits in sexual relations in animal life. It doesn't mean that this is considered as adultery or not. Again, this hadith is not the saying of Prophet s.a.w, it's just a story that a man narrated. It cannot be a basis for ruling in Islam either. \n\nProphet s.a.w said: 'Whoever intentionally falsely ascribes anything to me, shall seek his place in the Hell.'\n\nAllah Knows Best

In many verses of the Glorious Qur'an Allah the Exalted denied the claim of the Christians that He has a son. A delegation from Nagran came to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). They began to talk about their claim about the Trinity, which is that Allah is three in one, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, with some disagreement among their sects. That is why Allah affirmed in many verses of the Qur'an that Isa is a slave of Allah, whom He molded in the womb of his mother like any other of His creatures, and that He created him without a father, as He created Adam without a father or a mother.\n\nAllah the Almighty said: Allah chose Adam, Noah, the family of Ibrahim and the family of Imran above the Alamin (mankind and jinns)(of their times). Offspring, one of theo other, and Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.\n\nRemember when the wife of Imran said: "O my Lord! I have vowed to You what (the child that) is in my womb to be dedicated for Your services (free from all worldly work; to serve Your Place of worship), so accept this, from me. Verily, You are the All-Hearer, the All Knowing."\n\nThen when she delivered her (child Maryam), she said: "O my Lord! I have delivered a female child," and Allah knew better what she delivered, - "and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Maryam, and I seek refuge with You (Allah) for her and for her offspring from Satan, the outcast."\n\nSo her Lord (Allah) accepted her with goodly acceptance. He made her grow in a good manner and put her under the care of Zechariah. Every time he entered Al-Mihrab (a praying place or a private room), he found her supplied with sustenance.\n\nHe said: "O Maryam! From where have you got this?"\n\nShe said: "From Allah. Verily, Allah provides sustenance to whom He wills, without limit." ( 3:33-37 Quran)\n\nAllah declared that He had elected Adam (pbuh) and the elite of his offspring who obey Allah. Then He specified the family of Ibrahaim (pbuh), which includes the sons of Ismail (pbuh), and the family of Imran, the father of Maryam.\n\nMuhammad Ibn Is'haaq stated that he was Imran Ibn Bashim, Ibn Amun, Ibn Misha, Ibn Hosqia, Ibn Ahriq, Ibn Mutham, Ibn Azazia, Ibn Amisa, Ibn Yamish, Ibn Ahrihu, Ibn Yazem, Ibn Yahfashat, Ibn Eisha, Ibn Iyam, Ibn Rahba am, Ibn David (Dawud).\n\nProphet Zakariyah's (pbuh) wife's sister had a daughter named Hannah. She was married to Imran, a leader of the Israelites. For many years, the couple remained childless. Whenever Hannah saw another woman with a child, her longing for a baby increased. Although years had passed, she never lost hope. She believed that one day Allah would bless her with a child, on whom she would shower all her motherly love.\n\nShe turned to the Lord of the heavens and the earth and pleaded with Him for a child. She would offer the child in the service of Allah's house, in the temple of Jerusalem. Allah granted her request. When she learned that she was pregnant, she was the happiest woman alive, and thanked Allah for His gift. Her overjoyed husband Imran also thanked Allah for His mercy.\n\nHowever, while she was pregnant her husband passed away. Hannah wept bitterly. Alas, Imran did not live to see their child for whom they had so longed. She gave birth to a girl, and again turned to Allah in prayer: "O my Lord, I have delivered a female child," and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Maryam, and I seek refuge with You (Allah) for her and her offspring from Satan, the outcast." (3:36 Quran)\n\nHannah had a big problem in reference to her promise to Allah, for females were not accepted into the temple, and she was very worried. Her sister's husband Zakariyah, comforted her, saying that Allah knew best what she had delivered and appreciated fully what she had offered in His service. She wrapped the baby in a shawl and handed it over to the temple elders. As the baby was a girl, the ques
