regarding some tough questions needed to be dealt asap (plz its a rqst)

[Mobashir Mallick]

Sir, these are some of the questions which I was unable to answer asked by a non muslim at a small blog strtd by me
1.) Who was the first Muslim? Muhammad ( 6:14, 163) , Moses (7:143), some egyptians (26:5 ) , or Abraham (2:127-133) or Adam who was the first man & received inspiration from Allah (2:37)
2.) How many angels were talking to Mary about the announciation of the birth of jesus, 3:42,45 speaks about (several) angels while its only in sura 19:17-21
3.) Does Allah's day equal to 1000 human years (sura 22:47),(32:5) or 50000 (surah 70:4) , acc to sura 56:7 , therll be 3 distinct groups of people at the judgement day , but 90:18-19, 99:6-8 etc. Mention 2 groups
4.) Contradicting views on death : the Angel of death takes the soul(32:11) , the angels (plural) (47;27) but also its Allah who takes it (39:42) , angels have 2,3,4 pairs of wings ; butGabriel had 600 wings ( sahih bukhari , vol4 , bk54 , no. 455)
5.)quick or slow creation , Allah creates heaven & earth in 6 days (7:54) but sum learned muslims wnt 2 be modern & make it 6 eons , but then again in (2:117) its written that Allh does it instantaneously I.e " be & it is"
6.) Heaven or earth which was created first? First heaven & thn earth( 79:27-30) , first earth & then earth (2:29)
7.) The infinite loop problem Sura 26:192, 195, 196. It ( the Quran ) is indeed a revelation from the lords of the worlds ,... in clear Arabic speech & indeed IT ( the Quran) is in writings of the earlier(prophets)." Now the earlier books I.e Torah & Injil for ex. , written in Hebre & Greeks. How can an Arabic Quran be contained in books of other languages? Furthermore , it would have 2 contain this very passage of Quran since Quran is properly contained in them. Hence these earlier writing have to be contained in yet another language & we are in an infinite absurd loops.

Sir plz answer these so called mislakes in the Quran asap

5.)quick or slow creation , Allah creates heaven & earth in 6 days (7:54) but sum learned muslims wnt 2 be modern & make it 6 eons , but then again in (2:117) its written that Allh does it instantaneously I.e " be & it is"

Just a note on this one. The word actually means periods/eons etc

3.) Does Allah's day equal to 1000 human years (sura 22:47),(32:5) or 50000 (surah 70:4) ,

Dr Bilal.Philips writes in his book "The True Message of Jesus Christ" pages 31-33:

Contradictions in the Quran

The Qur'aan remains in its original languag, Arabic, and the Qur'aan challenges its readers in Chapter an-Nisaa,(4):82, to find any errors in it, if they do not believe it is really from God.

أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْآنَ ۚ وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِندِ غَيْرِ اللَّهِ لَوَجَدُوا فِيهِ اخْتِلَافًا كَثِيرًا

"Do they not then consider the Quran carefully? Had it been from other than Allah, they would surely have found therein much contradictions. "

The few "apparent contradictions" commonly mentioned by those who attempt to reduce the Qur'aan to the level of the Bible are easily explained...

...Similary, the "day with God" mentioned in the following two verses:

Chapter as-Sajdah (32):5
"He arranges (every) affair from the heavens to the earth, then it goes up to Him, in a day equivalent to a thousand years of your reckoning."

Chapter al-Mi'raaj (70):4
"The angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in a day equivalent to fifty thousand years."

The two verse refer to completely different events. The first refers to the destiny that is sent down and reported back in a day governing a thousand years of human life. [Tafseer al-Qurtubee, vol. 8, pp.5169-70]
The second refers to the ascent of the angels from the world to the highest of the heavens, which for them takes a day equivalent to 50,000 human years.[Fat-hul-Qadeer, vol.4, p.349]
Allah is not governed by time. He created time and made it relative to the creatures it governs. Consequently, according to the calculation of modern scientists, one year on Mars is equivalent to 687 earth days, while one year on Uranus is equal to 84 earth years. [The New Encyclopaedia Britannica, vol.27, pp.551 &571.]

Zakir Naik also provides an answer. He writes:

1. Time of Allah is incomparable to earthly time

The Qur'an says in two verses, (22:47 and 32:5), that the measure of one day in the sight of Allah is equal to 1,000 years of our reckoning. In another verse (70:4) it says that the measure of one day in the sight of Allah is equal to 50,000 years of our reckoning.

2. Yaum also means Period

These verses generally mean that the time of Allah(SWT) is incomparable to the earthly time. The examples given are of one thousand years and fifty thousand years of the earthly time. In other words thousands of years or a very, very long time of the earth a day in the sight of Allah is equal to:

The Arabic word used in all these three verses is yaum, which, besides meaning a day also means a long period, or an epoch. If you translate the word yaum correctly as 'period' there will be no confusion

a) The verse from Surah Hajj reads as:

"Yet they ask thee to hasten on the Punishment! but Allah will not fail in his promise. Verily a Day in the sight of thy Lord is like a thousand years of your reckoning". [Al-Qur'an 22:47]

When the unbelievers asked to hasten the punishment the Qur'an says Allah will not fail in his promise. Verily a period in the sight of Allah is like a thousand years of your reckoning.

b) The verse from Surah Al-Sajdah says:

"He rules (all) affairs from the heavens to the earth: in the end will (all affairs) go up? To Him, on a Day, the space whereof will be (as) a thousand years of your reckoning [Al-Qur'an 32:5]

This verse indicates that period required for all the affairs to go up to Allah(SWT), is a thousand years of your reckoning.

c) A verse from Surah Al-Marrij says:

"The angels and the spirit ascend unto Him in a Day the measure whereof is (as) fifty thousand years". [Al-Qur'an 70:4]

This verse means that the period required for angels and the spirits to ascend unto Allah (SWT) is fifty thousand years/

d) The period for two different acts need not be the same. For example the period required for me to travel to destination "A" say Vashi is one hour and the period for me to travel to destination "B" i.e. Kashmir is 50 hours. This does not indicate i am making two contradictory statements.

Thus the verses of the Qur'an not only do not contradict each other, they are also in perfect harmony with established modern scientific facts
