It is very encouraging that Pauline Lambs of these days are fond of asking too many questions about Islam and Qur’an. The basic cause is the cropping of over 3000 anti-Muslim web site on the World Wide Web [www]. Most of these normal Christians bang their heads on the walls of these anti-Muslim internet web sites, and presume that they have learned enough to cross-question us on Qur’an and sometimes even Hadiths. These flocks usually come on the net chat forums and post their anti-Muslim web sites questions, allegations boasting themselves to be learned, without reading Jeremiah 8:8 of the Bible.
Some of the authors of these web sites are very tricky; the way they pose their questions for these Christians against Islam is very interesting to these well parroted flocks. They immediately dream an obvious contradiction or even a Mistake in Qur’an. However, they do not see the challenge our God Almighty poses for them. I can conveniently say that most of these web site authors never read the Qur’an themselves in the first place. Some do read Qur’an completely out of context, only to frame questions or to pose a made-up pseudo-contradiction.
Almost all of these anti-Muslim web site authors are from non-Arab origin and have an inherent tendency to translate the Qur’an in English or in their own languages, Then they relate their own mis-translations / mis-understanding to either Yousuf Ali or to Pickthal. Thanks to the Saudi Arabian government and their honest attempt, they have now a centralized Qur’an translation on the web for all such anti-Muslim web site authors to see the official translation of Qur’an [www.qurancomplex.org]. I strongly recommend them to read this site and refer to the translations of Qur’an therein.
In this section of “WHY WHY WHY”; I have made an honest and collective effort to set these anti-Muslim web sites author’s right. There are many of these authors; I shall not name them and neither will I quote those anti-Muslim web sites on my web site. However, the allegations and so called contradictions or errors, as stated by them will be shown in their text and context. All these anti-Muslim web sites questioners henceforth will be called Mr. Know-it-all for the ease of understanding for my Muslim brethren and my Christians friends.
It must be noted here that I have categorized these questions and allegations in a way that may be easy for my readers to understand them. I have collected these questions from at least 68 anti-Muslim web sites. There were many variants of these questions; I have segregated them to make it easy to answer them collectively. Most serious attacks on Islam, Qur’an or the Noble Prophet of Islam are given priority. Many questions that are already answered by Islamic Authors like Sk. Ahmed Deedath, Dr. Zakir Naik, Dr. Bilal Phillips and others are not repeated in this section of articles, for the answers to the question already answered by these authors I would recommend my reader to visit, www.irf.net www.bilalphillips.com and others.
The first question is on Qur’an; Mr. Know-it-all asks blatantly about the concept of Iblis or even Quran.
Mr. Know-it-all: Can angels disobey? No angel is arrogant, they all obey Allah [16:49-50], but: "And behold, we said to the ANGELS: 'Bow down to Adam'. And THEY bowed down, EXCEPT Iblis. He refused and was haughty [2:34].
Let me show you what God tells us about his revelations to the Humanity. Allah [سبحآنه تعآلى] says about the Qur’an, please read: “There is instruction in their stories for people of intelligence. This is not a narration that has been invented, but a confirmation of all that came before, a clarification of everything, a guidance and a mercy for people who believe”. (Surah Yusuf: 111)
“This is a communication to be transmitted to mankind so that they may be warned by it and so that they will know that He is One God and so that people of intelligence will pay heed.” (Surah Ibrahim, 52)
“That is the Book, without any doubt. It contains guidance for those who guard against evil.” (Surat al-Baqara: 2)
Say: 'If both men and jinn banded together to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could never produce anything like it, even if they backed each other up.' (Qur'an, 17:88)
If nothing can be produced anything like Qur’an, by all the human beings and the Jinns, put together or individually, then positively the Al-Quran is the only Book, the Final testament from our God, wherein there is no doubt, Allah s.w.t has promised to safe guard his book from human corruptions, and no doubt Allah [سبحآنه تعآلى] will keep his promise. “It is We Who have sent down the Reminder (the Qur'an) and We Who will preserve it.” (Qur'an, 15:9)
Now to answer that simple elementary question, why did Iblis disobey Allah s.w.t when he was an angel…? The answer is simple: But where does God Almighty Allah [سبحآنه تعآلى] says in Qur’an that Iblis was an Angel? Qur’an does not say Iblis was an Angel…
The Noble Qur’an, Surah 18 Al-Kahf, In the Name of Allâh, the Most, Beneficent, the Most Merciful Verse 50: And (remember) when We said to the angels; "Prostrate to Adam." So they prostrated except Iblîs (Satan). He was one of the jinns; he disobeyed the Command of his Lord. Will you then take him (Iblîs) and his offspring as protectors and helpers rather than Me while they are enemies to you? What an evil is the exchange for the Zâlimûn (polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc).
Satan is not an angel; rather he is of the Jinn as stated in Al-Kahf (18):50. Why then did he need to obey the command which was directed to the angels [specially when men and Jinns have the right to choose]? This is because; he was raised with them and required to obey the laws applied to them while in their [Angels] company. This is similar to requiring that a foster son obey the rules of his foster father while living within his house. It is not necessary for the foster father, whenever he commands his sons to do something, to follow up with an explicit "and my foster son too must do this," rather, it is implicitly understood that so long as the foster son lives in this house he shall follow the same rules and commands as apply to the other sons.
If a politician declares that "any American who drinks and drives shall be thrown in jail," then does this mean that any non-American who is visiting the USA then drinks and drives shall be immune to this law? No. The law includes him by default; however, they are the minority so the command is issued to the majority with the implication being that anyone in their company is implicitly included.
For example, in the Bible we are told that prophet Abraham AS was given a covenant of "circumcision" for himself and his family, however, fulfilment of circumcision was required not only of all of his family but also of all those who happened to be in his house at the time, even if they were slaves purchased with his money. This is how all laws work. They are required of all those who abide within the confines of a given nation even if they are not officially considered one of them.
A minister from the India recently got drunk in Delhi and ran down a young girl. His home government did not invoke 'diplomatic immunity' for him; rather, he was allowed to be held accountable under Indian laws even though he was not one of them. This is basic justice and common sense. If you live in someone's house you follow their rules.
This Why Why Why shall continue in this chapter under different titles and topics, Inshallah.
O my Learned Christian readers, do you have any sense of reason? Do they have any thinking-heads? Does God stop you from thinking reasonably? Or would you like to regret in the hereafter.
They will say, "If only we had really listened and used our intellect, we would not have been Companions of the Blaze." (Noble Qur’an, Surat al-Mulk: 10) or would the followers of St. Paul like to regret…!
O my Christian readers and Mr. Know-it-all …! ”Respond to your Lord before a Day comes from Allah [سبحآنه تعآلى], which cannot be turned back. On that Day you will have no hiding-place and no means of denial.” (Noble Qur’an, Surat ash-Shura: 47)
I invite you, O my Christian readers, to use your intellect and be a true believer, a truthful submitter to your God Allah [سبحآنه تعآلى]. May Allah [سبحآنه تعآلى] bestow upon you his mercy and help you understand the fallacies of the Christian Pauline religion of “Saul of Tarus”...Ameen, ya Rabbi’ziljalaal.
Allah [سبحآنه تعآلى] makes it very evident for you "W e shall show them Our signs on the horizons and within themselves until it will become clear to them that it is the Truth. Does it not suffice that your Lord is Witness over all things?" The noble Qur'an, Fussilat(41):53.
"Verily! this Qur'an guides to that which is most upright, and gives glad tidings to the believers who work deeds of righteousness that theirs will be a great reward" The noble Qur'an, Al-Isra(17):9
