Ok rad man,you say that the quran and the bible is wrote by someone, so think logically wrote them?? Who is the author of the quran and the bible?? Why do people hold fast to quran and the bible?? You deny gods existence? Why do you think it a guidance to mankind?
Was Jesus (peace be upon him) had the bible himself? Did he create the bible? Then how did he get it?
They were both written by men who wrote what they believed God was saying to them. In all cases what was written was influenced by their own personal world views and agendas. We have no evidence that these were God's words verbatim, only blind faith can make that assertion.
Jesus had the Hebrew Scriptures and did not write anything himself - or at least nothing that we have today.
When Muhammed claims an angel appeared to him and told him what to write, we have no witnesses or evidence to support such a claim. The infidel World cannot be judged because they refuse to blindly accept these claims which could never stand in a court of law.
Jesus did not write the Bible. God did not write the Bible. Even the most religious Christians agree that the Bible was written by men.
well done disappearinghead!! I think you lost your head really...what you say is true that bible and quran were written by men. Muhammed (pbuh) did claim that god send Gabriel (we say jibreel(as)) to write down verses in the holy Quran. but people at that time denied that this cant be true....i am talking about those Arab people at the time of the prophet Muhammed (pbuh), those people used to do Idol worship, they too denied, made fun of the prophet, Harassed him a lot. He said to believe in one God, the most High and the Eternal one. He (God) never sleeps nor yawns for a moment. He (God) does not need anything from us as he has Everthing. This situation what we deal is called "Faith" and "Oneness of god". too much thinking and making fuss over logic and science, deliberately causes Hardening of Heart....one cannot realize its effect..
So do you know who is the author of the quran and bible?
What's your problem Monisa? The bible and quran were written by men though the exact authorship is sometimes disputed, men all the same.
If Gabriel appeared to Muhamed, please provide us the evidence. Its not an unreasonable request.
As to whether Muhamed wrote the truth milions of Christians will disagree with you. Christians have many authors, you have one, so their witnesses outnumber yours.
Here Marisa I may say one thing to you, if you do not read it correctly- the Bible and the Quran , then it is your mistake...On what Basis you say that it is a contradiction?? For understanding both books you need to accept the truth, not create an assumption of your own. You are wrong if you say that Bible is not a word of God..but people corrupted it..
They were both written by people who wrote what they believed God was saying to them. That is a totally different thing from saying they were "written by God". Why should we believe those people? How do we know they were not imagining things, or having a psychotic episode? Even if they were listening to God, how can we be sure they were interpreting His words correctly?
Disappearinghead, The evidence is the Holy Quran. Think it several times.....if you say that the angel came to Prophet Muhammad and he would memorize, and spread to mankind, he said that the holy Quran is our evidence to believe in one god then what's wrong in it? If you do not know anything, you should always research about it. You are asking proof from me and I say that the only miracle in this world is the Holy Quran. First research about this and then talk about belief and non-belief...
Also you say that Christians have too many authors, I say about it that it is the only way to corrupt bible..too many spoils.
So you offer no evidence to back the claims about the quran. Muhammed says so it must be so. Oh dear.
You are again wrong disappearinghead, Muhammad did not advocated killing and slaughtering his enemies. This is because you do not research correctly and come to false conclusions. It is The Almighty God who is the author of the Quran.
So if it is God who advocates killing and slaughtering, then your version of God is fundamentally flawed. A God who commands this action is not worthy of worship. If I would not slaughter my enemies then clearly I love humanity more than your version of God.
You should at the very least be honest.
Tabari 9:69 "Killing Unbelievers is a small matter to us"
Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 327: - “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”
Ok, so this is what you have concluded. So answer this- why did God ordered to kill?? There must be some reason according to the holy Quran?
There is a very good reason for a Military leader to say God is on his side and death has been order. It inspires the military. The Jews of the OT did the same thing.
No God ordered killings, People did.
Simple, your god doesn't exist and it was Muhammad who commanded others to kill.
Look if you cannot answer this question, i can - The most important thing over this question is "why?", God can give life to a body and also has the authority to take away your soul causing death, that is why we call it as GOD. He is able to do everything, so why can't He order us to kill who doesn't believe in HIS(god) existence ??
This is complete lunacy. A God who decides to kill those who do not believe when he fails to provide a reason to believe is a monster. Believe in me or die? Where is the love? So Muhammed promotes a petulant child for a God that is entirely his own invention. Yet you do not have the courage to question what you have been told.
Why would he have to order you to do his killing? Is he not capable?
That is the problem in a nutshell (literally) and why your religion is so dangerous to societies and mankind. Any god who teaches its followers to kill is pure evil and the religion needs to be rejected wholeheartedly and completely.
Troubled man ...
Its amazing to see that you still hold the same arguments as when we discussed this topic. The religion is not evil.
Considering we have more dishonest Muslims spamming the forums with Islamic propaganda and lies, again, the answers would be the same.
Troubled man and rad man, I won't be arguing with both of you as your sources and explanations lack the gravity. You both do not research correctly and come to false conclusions..so there is no way I'm going to waste time arguing ..you both research what comes against Islam and conclude without knowing the truth. Actually you lack reading correct sources. I'm sorry i won't say anything to you both if I had hurt your feeling. My religion teaches me to be patient, to help others, to remove the false. If this is so getting over your head then maybe God has hardened your hearts..
If He has, that's not a problem, then, because God did it.
??? Rad Man quoted the Quran which states clearly as day that Allah sanctions killing and slaughtering of those he finds disagreeable. Please tell me you have read the Quran. Do you gloss over these verses and pretend they are not there?
You people believe in Jesus and me myself believe in Jesus. Have it ever occurred that i said Jesus is a killer? A military leader? And so on.. then how can you say that Muhammad (pbuh) is that? Don't you think you hurt feelings of Muslims by saying so? You lack research..that is only the main problem.
Sorry, if the truth about Muhammad hurts your feelings. That's really too bad. Are you going to kill us now?
I don't want to hurt anyones feeling, I just want the truth. Are you saying Mohammed was not a military leader?
No.
Let's see something that goes to your head troubled man, as you are really troubled, just answer this question without your false research- which country has the highest rate of crime??
By list of intentional homicides on a per capita basis, by continent, region and 50 of the 53 countries on that continent easily leading the pack, is Africa, which just so happens to be a split of about 40% Christian and 45% Muslim.
Was there some ulterior conclusion you now wish to reveal with that fact?
The Mohammed Verses invoke violence in the followers through a claim of no tollerance for anyone who believes otherwise.
I as a Christian believe that you may choose to live anyway you wish as long as you do not present a risk to my peaceful existence.
If you present a risk to my peaceful existence, then my recognized God will forgive me if i eliminate the risk.
The difference being that I do not seek to eliminate simply because someone does not follow my chosen religion.
The teachings of those who follow Mohammed Verses do not permit the individual to tollerate those who do not follow their demanded religion.
The USA was founded by those who rejected the government demanding a religious encampment.
Therefore, in the USA, everyone is permitted to choose their own religion including no religion.
But the laws of man reject your right to combat or injure someone due to your personal religious beliefs.
Sharia Law imposed by man under the guise of following the teachings of Mohammed do not present the same enviornment.
Forest Gump said it best, "Stupid is as stupid does."
Why? What happened? Feeling very shy that it is the US which has the greater number of crime rates?
Oh ho you want to save mankind, you say God loves you all, then why is the crime so high??? So many criminals?? Where are the bible words?? Does the bible say - steal, rape, murder each other and have revenge ??
Propaganda and lies don't really make for good discussion. Do you have anything of value to share?
While the Americas are a high 15.4% intentional homicides, Africa is a higher 17%.
Africa is 40% Christian and 45% Muslim. The Americas are 80% Christian.
Seems all the data points to countries maintaining a high Christian/Islamic population yield the highest rates of intentional homicides.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_co … icide_rate
False information again. Show me a link to this false information or did you created it?? I will never believe it. Your smartness is not at all influencing..I won't say a word to you now troubled man.
Great discovery! I agree that Africa has the highest in total, but Africa is not 40% Christian and have45% Muslims. It is not written on the link you provided? Again wrong..false information and conclusions. Clicked the first link of wikipedia on Google..too much hardwork !
Yes, Africa does have the highest in total. You will also find that the less religious countries have lower crime rates. So far, your question has backfired on you. More religion, more crime.
Yes, it is.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Africa
Researching information or thinking?
You are obviously Muslim. I wonder if, where you live, there were no 'honor killings' allowed, no state approved rape, no state approved disfigurement of women, no agreement to allow the torture of women and children....how would your statistics hold up to a free world country? Not well, I think.
I still disagree , you are wrong. Last but not the least to brothers and sisters, Muslims and the Christians , i quote the verse from the Quran: "show forgiveness, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the foolish" chapter3, verse199.
Nice quote. Unfortunately, too many countries ruled by Muslims think violence toward women and children falls into the category of good. They must, or they would outlaw the barbaric practices. Don't you think?
In your earlier post you stated "He is able to do everything, so why can't He order us to kill who doesn't believe in HIS(god) existence ??" So you agree with Muslims who seek to kill unbelievers.
I deny that Muhammed ever saw an angel, and I state that the Quran is his fabrication, I deny your version of God. There done it, would you like to kill me now? I'll even give you my home address if you like.
Don't give him your address. He sounds like he could easily perpetuate violence. For all you know, he could live across the street from you. Then where would you be?
It is frightening isn't it. A central belief of Islam is that the whole Earth will be Muslim. Here we have confirmation that those who refuse will be killed like Muhammed mercilessly killed those who refused. I had hoped that this pattern of belief that was once prevalent in the Catholic Church would die out as an Age of Enlightenment finally dawned on the Islamic World. But that isn't going to happen is it. Whilst at its core Jesus preached peace, Muhammed preached death. I fear for my children.
I admit to a level of fear also. I don't understand what drives Islam. As you said, enlightenment should have softened the rough edges by now. But, there seem to be some who hold onto the darkness no matter how open the society is where they immigrate to. Why don't the moderates within their faith work harder to root out the violence?
I had someone a while back as me for my address. The answer to your question is fear.
Well, they do no service to any of us if that is true. But, I tend to think it falls along the same lines as why moderate Christians don't speak out against the far right element. I think, in the back of their mind, they aren't sure if the words and actions aren't right. I think they may suffer a level of guilt for not standing beside them. Which makes me fear Islam that much more.
What I fear about it is that they (not all) will lie. They will tell you we have it all wrong and Islam is all about peace, but even when we show them the passages that talk about killing non-believers from a military leader who was trying to empower his people they change the topic and don't address the violence.
They are authorised by Allah to lie. Don't ask me to find it but I once met a Christian missionary to the Middle East who quoted from the Quran authorising Muslims to lie. Allah was having a conversation with Muhammed and told him he is permitted to lie under three circumstances: if a lie can reconcile two brothers, if a lie can reconcile husband and wife, and in the action of Jihad against the infidel. Thus as promoting Islam is Jihad Muslims are authorised to lie to you. I have seen this first hand when a Muslim sought to discredit the bible by saying Aramaic was not a written language. My company has contracts in Saudi Arabia, and lying comes natural to them.
Um, so how many times does the Bible say it is okay to kill people, or describe God as killing people? More times than the Koran or less?
Remember Deut. 20: 16-18 where Moses says to kill everyone in the cities reserved for his people?
It's probably little different in all honesty and in all my years in Church I never heard a satisfactory answer about how a loving God authorised these events. However Jews and Christians today are not want to go around slaughtering unbelievers, but this appears to be a hard habit to break for Islam.
Having said all that I've seen from two sources in the last week that these early books of the bible were written several hundred years after the fact. Thus it is not unreasonable to surmise that these events may not have happened and if they did, the writers much later decided that God commanded them even if he actually didn't.
Excuse me but isn't it a bit obvious that Jews and Christians are going round killing unbelievers in the Middle East??? Are you that ignorant? The West is spending billions each year to kill unbelievers in the name of democracy and you're saying that they've stopped killing them?
Some misguided Muslims are or have suicide bombed in the past and maybe in the present, which may be wrong if they're not defending themselves.
People in Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan and many other countries are getting slaughtered by Jews and Christians every day.
WAKE UP! OPEN YOUR EYES!!!
G Miah,
That's nuts, dude. The Jews (I'm guessing you're talking about Israelis) aren't invading countries and killing. They do kill to defend their borders occasionally, however. That would end when the Palestinians stopped lobbing rockets into Israel proper.
Christians that live in Egypt and other Arab nations are targets for being killed by radical Muslims.
I'm not going to come down on Muslims in general. Most are very nice, but those that adhere to strict Sharia tenets - are a nightmare.
Christianity had to evolve to survive. No longer do Christians burn witches at the stake or take part in Inquisitor programs. Islam must do the same thing. It must ban female circumcision, it must elevate females to an equal status, it must denounce homophobia and honor killings. It must seek to live in peace with other religions around the world.
Christianity, and I'm NOT a believer, by the way, is about 400 years ahead of Islam in evolution. Judaism is as well. Some of the greatest scientific discoveries come out of Israel. Arabs that live in Israel have more rights than Arabs that live in Arab countries.
Islam has a problem - ignoring it won't make it go away. Changing and evolving will help the entire world.
If you knew good Muslims and researched into the Quran then you would know that the Quran doesn't say anywhere to circumcise females, and in the Quran it says male and female are equal and to be treated equally. In fact women have a higher status in Islam because they are mothers.
I suggest you look very closely at the religion and look closer at Muslim people around the world and then decide.
'Islam is pefect, people are not'.
Miah,
Sorry dude, Islam is far from perfect. It was written by a man, just like all holy books were written by men.
Men are fallible.
Despite what you claim, the Quran DOES allow for violence against women and does condemn homosexuality. That means Islam is not tolerant and conducive to peace in today's world. Christianity and Judaism can be misconstrued as well - but right now, most of the world's threat is coming from Islam.
If you want to save your religion - start denouncing the radicals and insist that no one follow the violent (later) writings of Muhammad.
Islam and the Quran is there for eternity, not just for over 1,400 years ago and will not evolve. This is the truth. Even Christians believe in the Bible until the end of time. Jesus will be back and there are many other minor and major signs left to take place before the end of the world. If only people knew.
You believe what you want to believe.
Well Miah, if you believe - so be it. I'm not going to knock you over it. I see no differences between the religions and I believe none of them. I have a feeling that Islam, Christianity and Judaism will all fade away one day and new religions will spring up to take their places. But, I respect your feelings.
I'm a realist, however. When I read something that discusses something unseen, something cruel, something not conducive to peace - I dismiss it. I find that violence, especially violence perpetrated in the name of some diety to be abhorrent, and I find that it negates all goodness that otherwise might have been beneficial.
I deal with facts and stats. I don't buy into anything unseen or unproven.
I will tell you, however, that if Islam does not evolve - it will die. Right now, it is antiquated and the world is moving on. People are seeing the light and leaving religion behind. Islam is restrictive. If you, and others, would come out and loudly denounce honor killings, violence against females and gays and strongly denounce those who kill for Allah - you'd be doing your religion a favor.
honour killings is not religious or Islamic, it is part of some peoples sick minds. Same sex relationships is prohibited and i'm sure anyone with common sense can understand why. God gave us our sexuality, male and female, so that one fits into the other (so to speak), and a male male relationship can't work sexually because they're both the same.
I understand and admire your views on peace and harmony in the world, so try to keep it that way, unless of course if Allah wills to change your views on Islam. Allah can do anything.
I agree, but that's all OT stuff. Written for the same purpose as the Quran was, to empower a people for war. We've got God on our side kinda thing.
The Qur'an wasn't revealed for the purpose of preparing people for war, rather the purpose of the revelation of the Qur'an is the continuation of the same message to the prophets of God: To worship God alone, and to obey the messenger He sent (peace and blessings be upon them all) The Qur'an talks very little about war, so little in fact, its references to warfare speak specifically about particular incidents of the early Muslim community. While there are lessons relevant to how the Muslim nation should engage in warfare, this in no way means it is the sole message of The Noble Qur'an.
How? What makes you, a non Muslim, an expert on the Qur'an or the Islamic faith?
That's called a logical fallacy; appeal to authority.
??... whatever... Then tell me, what is the purpose of the revelation of the Qur'an?
The Qur'an is the actual speech of God transmitted to the Prophet by one of His chosen angels.
The name of this angel, or heavenly being, is Gabriel or the Faithful Spirit. He transmitted the word of God over a period of twenty-three years to the Prophet who would relate them faithfully to the people using the same words in the form of a verse.
Anything else?
I really hate to have to keep doing this, but there are countless versus of violence towards non-believers.
Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 992: - "Fight everyone in the way of Allah and kill those who disbelieve in Allah."
Tabari 9:69 "Killing Unbelievers is a small matter to us"
Muslim (1:30) - "The Messenger of Allah said: I have been commanded to fight against people so long as they do not declare that there is no god but Allah."
Ummm.. I hate to break it to you, but those aren't verses of the Qur'an. They are hadith (statements) of the Prophet Muhammed (sws). There's a difference, The verses of the Qur'an are the literal words of Allah, and thus it is miraculous in nature, while hadith are not. Now here's the challenge my friend, try actually reading the Qur'an, without bias, or preconceived notions.
I stand corrected, except for the Qur'an being the actual word of Allah.
Like, in very much the same way you would approach evolution, without bias or preconceived notions?
That kind of challenge?
Indeed. I just think the idea that people whose holy book is the Bible have no real legs to stand on when criticizing the Koran.
Of course, facts and evidence are of no consequence to your religious beliefs. That is the point being made all along.
Actually facts are what I'm asking for, and the Qur'aan has plenty of, which shows you have no idea what your talking about when discussing the Qur'aan.
Sorry, but the Quran is not a book of facts.
How do you know, if you couldn't answer one simple question about it? Again, the question is, " What is the purpose behind the revelation of the Qur'an?"
Why are you lying? I have answered your question.
No, you didn't you answered by telling me how revelation came down, not what was the purpose of it being revealed. If I'm wrong I do apologize. I'm on here quite infrequently due to my studies.
So, after all this time, are you going to reveal the point of your question?
"What is the purpose behind the revelation of the Qur'an?" Well we have no evidence it was a revelation only Muhammed's word which we are supposed to accept without question.
But it's purpose is an interesting one. Obviously Muhammed had a bee in his bonnet about paganism, but to push his version of monotheism, he needed some 'scriptures'. Arguably he ripped off some of his ideas from 6th century Christians, such as eternal torment in hell for unbelievers, and a second coming of Jesus to destroy the infidels.
You have an interesting answer, and while I don't agree with all of it. You are right part of the purpose of the revelation of the Qur'an was to renew the message of monotheism. As to the rest of your answer, you are not expected to accept the Qur'an without question. In fact, Allah in the Qur'an asks its readers to test out it's content, to ask questions, to reflect upon it. Allah in the Qur'an says, “Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth has been made clear from error. Whoever rejects false worship and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that never breaks. And Allah hears and knows all things.” al Baqarah: 256
Sorry, but the Quran has been tested of content, but failed miserably when held up to reality.
Not until you reveal the point of asking me that previous question.
Example 1: Sperm doesn't originate from the back.
Example 2: The Suns not responsible for our night and day. The earth rotation is. The sun doesn't orbit the earth.
Example 3:
What if someone has tested the Quran and concludes that they don't believe it? You say Christians are guilty of false worship, so what happens to them? Does Allah send them to hell after Muslims have been authorised to kill them?
For example, Muhammed tells us that alcohol is forbidden. I don't believe him as God gave us beer and wine because he wants us to be happy. Similarly, I love a bacon sandwich, Muhammed says no. Why should I listen to him just because he doesn't like pork?
Well truthfully, if a person reads the Qur'an and comes to not believe in it that's their choice. You have very good questions, While the Qur'an does accuse some christians as engaging in false worship ( worshiping jesus, believing in a trinity, etc) The Qur'an also honors those from Christians who through their own intellectual reasoning reject such beliefs. So it's not so much that they are Christian, because the Qur'an obligates Muslims to believe in all of the prophets of God. The prohibitions you named are for those who believe that they come from Allah. They are specific to Muslims, although there are similar prohibitions in the Bible, and Torah. I'm originally from Louisiana, a pork eating state to be sure lol. I miss the taste of hot fresh Boudin, pig feet, smothered pork chops, etc. However I believe Allah knows what is best for me, so I put the command of Allah before my own desires. Obeying these prohibitions is a matter of faith.
And, I can only assume you have no intention of revealing the point behind the question you asked, you are just playing childish games, yes?
I don't play games, but rather testing those who have actually read the Qur'an seeking to truly understand it rather than repeat the vile stereotypes, and misconceptions that come from relying on anti-islamic sources. Don't get angry at me if you don't know the answer. The question was so simple that anyone can grasp the intention behind it.
I gave you the answer, the fact that you don't want to accept the answer has nothing to do with it's validity, which you have not addressed at all.
You're just playing childish games.
Oh... well like I said I might have missed it. The last reply you gave wasn't the answer, but you were telling my how revelation came down, not it's purpose. If that's not what you are referring to then I apologize.
One last time, here's what you said...
And, here's what I said...
How far off base was I compared with what you said?
Facts like the earth is egg shaped and the Suns orbit is responsible for night and day and sperm come from the back?
The Bible seems very innocent...
Kill everyone who has religious beliefs that are different from your own. 17:2-7 (Deutronomy)
After God killed Korah, his family, and 250 innocent bystanders, the people complained saying, "ye have killed the people of the Lord." So God, who doesn't take kindly to criticism, sends a plague on the people. And "they that died in the plague were 14,700." 16:41-50
It's okay to beat your slaves; even if they die you won't be punished, just as long as they survive a day or two after the beating (see verses 21:20-21). But avoid excessive damage to their eyes or teeth. Otherwise you may have to set them free. 21:26-27
God will send hornets to kill your enemies, "for the Lord thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible."
ANIMAL CRUELTY
Get some animals, kill them, chop up their bodies, wave body parts in the air, burn the carcasses, and sprinkle the blood all around -- in precisely the way God tells you. It may well make you sick, but it makes God feel good. 29:11-37
God's law for lepers: Get two birds. Kill one. Dip the live bird in the blood of the dead one. Sprinkle the blood on the leper seven times, and then let the blood-soaked bird fly off. Next find a lamb and kill it. Wipe some of its blood on the patient's right ear, thumb, and big toe. Sprinkle seven times with oil and wipe some of the oil on his right ear, thumb and big toe. Repeat. Finally kill a couple doves and offer one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. 14:2-32
I can go on and on and on. I'm not trying to prove anything except that the Bible has so many paragraphs where God encourages killing, even innocent.
Misconceptions due to media:
The common misconceptions about Islam arise in the minds of a majority of non-Muslims, because they are constantly being bombarded with misinformation about Islam. International media is mainly controlled by the western world, whether it is international satellite channels, radio stations, news papers, magazines or books. Recently the Internet has become a powerful medium of information. Though it is not controlled by anybody, one finds a large amount of virulent propaganda about Islam on the Internet. Of course, Muslims too are utilizing this tool to portray the right image of Islam and Muslims, but they are far behind as compared to the propaganda against Islam. I hope the efforts by the Muslims will increase and continue to be pursued.

Yes, Zakir Naik is well known for spreading Islamic propaganda and disinformation.
Misconceptions of non-Muslims who have studied Islam :
There are many non-Muslims who have studied Islam. Most of them have only read books on Islam written by biased critics of Islam. These non-Muslims have an additional set of twenty common misconceptions about Islam. For instance, they claim to have found contradictions in the Qur’an, they contend that the Qur’an is unscientific, etc. There is another set of additional replies clearing these twenty misconceptions among non-Muslims who have studied Islam from distorted sources. I have also given the replies to twenty additional less common questions among the non-Muslims in my public talks and book on “Answers to Common Questions about Islam by Non-Muslims who have some knowledge about Islam".
Source : same as above
1. POLYGAMY Question: Why is a man allowed to have more than one wife in Islam? i.e. why is polygamy allowed in Islam? Answer: 1. Definition of Polygamy Polygamy means a system of marriage whereby one person has more than one spouse. Polygamy can be of two types. One is polygyny where a man marries more than one woman, and the other is polyandry, where a woman marries more than one man. In Islam, limited polygyny is permitted; whereas polyandry is completely prohibited. Now coming to the original question, why is a man allowed to have more than one wife? 2. The Qur ’an is the only religious scripture in the world that says, “marry only one”. The Qur’an is the only religious book, on the face of this earth, that contains the phrase ‘marry only one’. There is no other religious book that instructs men to have only one wife. In none of the other religious scriptures, whether it be the Vedas, the Ramayan, the Mahabharat, the Geeta, the Talmud or the Bible does one find a restriction on the number of wives. According to these scriptures one can marry as many as one wishes. It was only later, that the Hindu priests and the Christian Church restricted the number of wives to one. Many Hindu religious personalities, according to their scriptures, had multiple wives. King Dashrat, the father of Rama, had more than one wife. Krishna had several wives. In earlier times, Christian men were permitted as many wives as they wished, since the Bible puts no restriction on the number of wives. It was only a few centuries ago that the Church restricted the number of wives to one. Polygyny is permitted in Judaism. According to Talmudic law, Abraham had three wives, and Solomon had hundreds of wives. The practice of polygyny continued till Rabbi Gershom ben Yehudah (960 C.E to 1030 C.E) issued an edict against it. The Jewish Sephardic communities living in Muslim countries continued the practice till as late as 1950, until an Act of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel extended the ban on marrying more than one wife.
Source : most common questions by zakir naik
3. Qur ’an permits limited polygyny As I mentioned earlier, Qur’an is the only religious book on the face of the earth that says ‘marry only one’. The context of this phrase is the following verse from Surah Nisa of the Glorious Qur’an: “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.” [Al-Qur’an 4:3] Before the Qur’an was revealed, there was no upper limit for polygyny and many men had scores of wives, some even hundreds. Islam put an upper limit of four wives. Islam gives a man permission to marry two, three or four women, only on the condition that he deals justly with them. In the same chapter i.e. Surah Nisa verse 129 says: “Ye are never able to be fair and just as between women....” [Al-Qur’an 4:129] Therefore polygyny is not a rule but an exception. Many people are under the misconception that it is compulsory for a Muslim man to have more than one wife. Broadly, Islam has five categories of Do’s and Don’ts: (i) ‘Fard’ i.e. compulsory or obligatory (ii) ‘Mustahab’ i.e. recommended or encouraged (iii) ‘Mubah’ i.e. permissible or allowed (iv) ‘Makruh’ i.e. not recommended or discouraged (v) ‘Haraam’ i.e. prohibited or forbidden Polygyny falls in the middle category of things that are permissible. It cannot be said that a Muslim who has two, three or four wives is a better Muslim as compared to a Muslim who has only one wife.

4. A verage life span of females is more than that of males By nature males and females are born in approximately the same ratio. A female child has more immunity than a male child. A female child can fight the germs and diseases better than the male child. For this reason, during the pediatric age itself there are more deaths among males as compared to the females. During wars, there are more men killed as compared to women. More men die due to accidents and diseases than women. The average life span of females is more than that of males, and at any given time one finds more widows in the world than widowers.
5. World female population is more than male population In the USA, women outnumber men by 7.8 million. New York alone has one million more females as compared to the number of males, and of the male population of New York one-third are gays i.e sodomites. The U.S.A as a whole has more than twenty-five million gays. This means that these people do not wish to marry women. Great Britain has four million more females as compared to males. Germany has five million more females as compared to males. Russia has nine million more females than males. God alone knows how many million more females there are in the whole world as compared to males.

6. Restricting each and every man to have only one wife is not practical
Even if every man got married to one woman, there would still be more than thirty million females in U.S.A who would not be able to get husbands (considering that America has twenty five million gays). There would be more than four million females in Great Britain, 5 million females in Germany and nine million females in Russia alone who would not be able to find a husband. Suppose my sister happens to be one of the unmarried women living in USA, or suppose your sister happens to be one of the unmarried women in USA. The only two options remaining for her are that she either marries a man who already has a wife or becomes 'public property'. There is no other option. All those who are modest will opt for the first.
Source :same as above
Most women would nto like to share their husband with other women. But in Islam when the situation deems it really neccessary Muslim women in due faith could bear a small personal loss to prevent a greater loss of letting other Muslim sisters becoming 'public properties
4. WAS ISLAM SPREAD BY THE SWORD? Question: How can Islam be called the religion of peace when it was spread by the sword? Answer: It is a common complaint among some non-Muslims that Islam would not have millions of adherents all over the world, if it had not been spread by the use of force. The following points will make it clear, that far from being spread by the sword, it was the inherent force of truth, reason and logic that was responsible for the rapid spread of Islam.
1. Islam means peace. Islam comes from the root word ‘salaam’, which means peace. It also means submitting one’s will to Allah (swt). Thus Islam is a religion of peace, which is acquired by submitting one’s will to the will of the Supreme Creator, Allah (swt).
2. Sometimes force has to be used to maintain peace. Each and every human being in this world is not in favour of maintaining peace and harmony. There are many, who would disrupt it for their own vested interests. Sometimes force has to be used to maintain peace. It is precisely for this reason that we have the police who use force against criminals and antisocial elements to maintain peace in the country. Islam promotes peace. At the same time, Islam exhorts it followers to fight where there is oppression. The fight against oppression may, at times, require the use of force. In Islam force can only be used to promote peace and justice.
3. Opinion of historian De Lacy O’Leary .
The best reply to the misconception that Islam was spread by the sword is given by the noted historian De Lacy O’Leary in the book “Islam at the cross road” (Page 8): “History makes it clear however, that the legend of fanatical Muslims sweeping through the world and forcing Islam at the point of the sword upon conquered races is one of the most fantastically absurd myth that historians have ever repeated.”
4. Muslims ruled Spain for 800 years. Muslims ruled Spain for about 800 years. The Muslims in Spain never used the sword to force the people to convert. Later the Christian Crusaders came to Spain and wiped out the Muslims. There was not a single Muslim in Spain who could openly give the adhan, that is the call for prayers.
5. 14 million Arabs are Coptic Christians. Muslims were the lords of Arabia for 1400 years. For a few years the British ruled, and for a few years the French ruled. Overall, the Muslims ruled Arabia for 1400 years. Yet today, there are 14 million Arabs who are Coptic Christians i.e. Christians since generations. If the Muslims had used the sword there would not have been a single Arab who would have remained a Christian.
6. More than 80% non-Muslims in India. The Muslims ruled India for about a thousand years. If they wanted, they had the power of converting each and every non-Muslim of India to Islam. Today more than 80% of the population of India are non-Muslims. All these nonMuslim Indians are bearing witness today that Islam was not spread by the sword.
7. Indonesia and Malaysia. Indonesia is a country that has the maximum number of Muslims in the world. The majority of people in Malaysia are Muslims. May one ask, “Which Muslim army went to Indonesia and Malaysia?
8. East Coast of Africa. Similarly, Islam has spread rapidly on the East Coast of Africa. One may again ask, if Islam was spread by the sword, “Which Muslim army went to the East Coast of Africa?”
9. Thomas Carlyle. The famous historian, Thomas Carlyle, in his book “Heroes and Hero worship”, refers to this misconception about the spread of Islam: “The sword indeed, but where will you get your sword? Every new opinion, at its starting is precisely in a minority of one. In one man’s head alone. There it dwells as yet. One man alone of the whole world believes it, there is one man against all men. That he takes a sword and try to propagate with that, will do little for him. You must get your sword! On the whole, a thing will propagate itself as it can.”
10. No compulsion in religion. With which sword was Islam spread? Even if Muslims had it they could not use it to spread Islam because the Qur’an says in the following verse: “Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from error” [Al-Qur’an 2:256]
11. Sword of the Intellect. It is the sword of intellect. The sword that conquers the hearts and minds of people. The Qur’an says in Surah Nahl, chapter 16 verse 125: “Invite (all) to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious.” [Al-Qur’an 16:125]
12. Increase in the world religions from 1934 to 1984. An article in Reader’s Digest ‘Almanac’, year book 1986, gave the statistics of the increase of percentage of the major religions of the world in half a century from 1934 to 1984. This article also appeared in ‘The Plain Truth’ magazine. At the top was Islam, which increased by 235%, and Christianity had increased only by 47%. May one ask, which war took place in this century which converted millions of people to Islam?
13. Islam is the fastest growing religion in America and Europe. Today the fastest growing religion in America is Islam. The fastest growing religion in Europe in Islam. Which sword is forcing people in the West to accept Islam in such large numbers?

Last but not the least:
14. Dr . Joseph Adam Pearson. Dr. Joseph Adam Pearson rightly says, “People who worry that nuclear weaponry will one day fall in the hands of the Arabs, fail to realize that the Islamic bomb has been dropped already, it fell the day MUHAMMED (pbuh) was born".
There's no point in trying to make people understand what the truth is if they are deaf and blind. It'll be good to stop replying to ignorant fools who are misguided and and narrow minded.
They even think Osama Bin Laden flew planes into the twin towers! Hahahahhahahah! When in fact it was George Dubya Bush himself who wanted an excuse to invade Iraq and Bin laden wasn't even in Iraq!
They talk about democracy. Democracy my ass. Christians and Jews are still carrying on with their crusades even in this modern era. Insha Allah soon, very soon the Muslims will rise as one under the black banner with allegiance to Imam Mahdi who will lead us to certain victory with the help of Allah! Allahu Akbar! Then Issa (Jesus, peace be upon him) will return and kill all the swine, the anti christ and the world will be in peace again!
You ignorant, deaf and blind people carry on. You think you were created out of nothing. There is a creator called Allah (One God) who created everything and has given life to everything. Be thankful for it.
If you are a non believer, you will realise the truth as soon as the angel of death (Azrael) is upon you on your last breath. You will realise that Islam is the true religion. All non believers will burn in hell.
May Allah have mercy on the Muslim Ummah and guide everyone onto the straight path. Ameen!
G Miah,
What happened? This morning, you were trying to convince me of the merits of Islam and now you're advocating of many (swine), and you're acting like you're ready to go to battle.
You're turning folks away from Islam with that talk - not toward it.
As soon as you start resorting to threats and "righteous" killings of all of the infidel swine, you lose all of your already-shaky respect. threats are a tactic used by christians and muslims alike, and it's a sign that you're LOSING. It's only a losing side that resorts to fear-based emotional attacks, a last ditch effort to try to convert those to your line of thinking.
You get that atheists like myself don't believe in the christian or muslim hell, right? So why would we be worried about it? It's like threatening me with a boogeyman in my closet - I don't believe he's real either. You have nothing with which to threaten us, and the fact that you resorted to such juvenile and childlike taunts goes against everything that you've tried to demonstrate up until now - that your religion is one of peace and all of violence espoused by radical muslims is not the norm. Thank you for proving your own arguments wrong.
There would be rioting in the streets if this kind of diatribe were aimed at Muslims.
And, it is interesting to see how much pressure Muslims are putting on the UN to pass resolutions prohibiting the defamation of Islam, and then this is what we receive in return.
This is the state of our world, religion is the cause. When will the madness end? When we're all pushing up daisies.

Why should I or anyone bother to look at your link when you just thanked the guy who called us, deaf, blind, and ignorant fools, misguided, narrow minded, will be killed like a pig, ignorant, deaf and blind again, and threaten us with hell fire? If you hadn't thanks him I may have listened to your argument.
I didn't thanked him for telling you blind and deaf. I thanked him because He is saying the truth. I do not go thanking people if they insult one another.
The sources i provide is far more enough to understand why there is arguing among us. That's all i have to say. I'm not waiting for you rad man to view the link. I had placed the truth..with evidences. If you ignore or do not want to view the link, it's not my problem.
So you think the truth is I'll be killed like a pig? You guys go on and on about how your religion is not violent and then you thank him for uttering death threats.
bye
It's funny how much agreement believers gain when it's about clapping hands and singing to the sounds of roasting atheists on an open spit.
Where did he say that -killed like a pig? Nowhere. I see that he said blind ,deaf, ignorant fools and narrow-minded. I see that he's not threatening anyone, but he is insulting. Don't you see the difference between threatening and insulting? You are a poor reader rad man..
Where is your logic going rad man. It's not threat, it is the truth. Truth is always disturbing, because it is pure.. there is hell and heaven. People who don't believe in God will go to hell -is not a threat, if your mind is working, it's logic!
Threatening to kill all the swine and burning in hell is a threat. It's the way a childish bully takes control and it's a threat.
A threat is a statement of an intention to inflict pain, injury or damage. Is that the peaceful religion you keep talking about?
It is the logic of people who believe only in their own truth and their right to judge and execute other people according to it. To me, that makes it a threat.
"People who don't believe in God will go to hell -is not a threat, if your mind is working, it's logic!"
God will send you all to hell and I'll enjoy the show because I do not believe in hell. I do not care for any God and his Hell or Heaven and so if he really wanted to send me to such a place I'll not go. Remember, what an old sage said: "If you do not believe in God, he has no existence to you".
I am not much interested in holy books but what I can understand about religion is that God is a good, benevolent, merciful entity. If it is true that he will torture people only for the crime of not believing him, then I'll say this is not a true god.
It sound like Hitler to me. If you do not believe that Jews are the enemy of the state then you are our national enemy and you shall be punished.
Use your head and justify everything with logic, Amen!
Okay so you people think that we are threatening you all? As the same person quoted bible verses:
Kill everyone who has religious beliefs that are different from your own. 17:2-7 (Deutronomy)
After God killed Korah, his family, and 250 innocent bystanders, the people complained saying, "ye have killed the people of the Lord." So God, who doesn't take kindly to criticism, sends a plague on the people. And "they that died in the plague were 14,700." 16:41-50
It's okay to beat your slaves; even if they die you won't be punished, just as long as they survive a day or two after the beating (see verses 21:20-21). But avoid excessive damage to their eyes or teeth. Otherwise you may have to set them free. 21:26-27
SHOULD WE TAKE THESE KILLER VERSES OF BIBLE AS A THREAT TO US????????????
I'M SO SCARED THAT YOU IGNORE THE THREATS IN BIBLE......
The difference phrase the old rules as applying to the current world. If a Christian did that, yes I would take it in the same way.
(For the record I am not Christian,)
"very soon the Muslims will rise as one... and kill all the swine"
Seriously, you think that is not threatening?
Troubled man , i think you should leave this forum, as you misinformation and false conclusions and the idiotic mimicking is really trash to me.
You get to ignore him if you wish, not censor him.
You seem to miss the point, Monisa.
We're not saying only Islam is ridiculous; we're saying all religions are ridiculous.
So not content to wait for infidel swine to be slaughtered and roasted in the fires of hell, no doubt the Muslim nutters will think it is their job to do the killing. Have they got in an early start in Boston?
I asked a question and no one answers?-Kill everyone who has religious beliefs that are different from your own. 17:2-7 (Deutronomy).SHOULD WE TAKE THESE KILLER VERSES OF BIBLE AS A THREAT TO US???????????? I'M SO SCARED THAT YOU IGNORE THE THREATS IN BIBLE......
I think you are ignoring the obvious. No one looks at Deuteronomy as a guide to action. It is a historical record (for Jews and Christians). We have history books that talk about what happened in wars, but that doesn't mean anyone wants war. The problem here is that radical Islam wants war and quotes the Quran as justification. Radical Islam has no regard for individual human rights and it quotes the Quran as justification. Comments in the Bible which can be construed as denying rights are accepted as ancient history and we work hard to correct mistakes made by those who don't understand this.
Radical Islam blindly follows. Anyone who blindly follows anything is dangerous in one way or another. Those who don't think for themselves are capable of anything.

Forget history. Look at today. Islam is rife with violence. Toward women, toward children, between sects, toward 'infidels'. I don't care what the original intent of the word was. In practice, Islam suppresses and abuses and murders those who even casually disagree. That is not peaceful. That is tyranny. Please, listen to the women who have had acid thrown on them, the woman condemned to be lashed for wearing pants.
I'm not saying Islam is inherently bad, but as long as it is used to perpetuate evil it will be perceived as evil. If it its good, make it good. So the world can see.
A huge reason to reject Islam as a violent religion.
That is a lie.
"On April 30, 711, Islamic leader Tariq ibn-Ziyad landed at Gibraltar and by the end of the campaign most of the Iberian Peninsula (except for small areas in the north-west such as Asturias and the Basque territory) were brought under Islamic rule. This campaign's turning point was the battle of Guadalete, where the last Visigothic king, Roderick, was defeated and killed on the battlefield. After this eight year campaign, Muslim forces attempted to move north-east across the Pyrenees Mountains toward France, but were defeated by the Frankish Catholic Charles Martel at the Battle of Tours in 732."
Indonesian Buddhists were slaughtered when they refused to accept Islam.
Yes, Zakir Naik is a fraud. The Muslim Conquests have a history that is easily researched, (not the Quran) where we'll find centuries of atrocities and murder in the name of Islam.
That's all.
You can also listen William cambell and Zakir Naik speech in YouTube. William cambell is a scholar of biblical thoughts. What are is views about Islam, hear yourself. It is a debate. Listen yourself what the Christian scholar have to say about Islam...
The answer to this again-
listen William cambell and Zakir Naik speech in YouTube.
Ok. Now i have nothing to say since your mind's are corrupted with no authentic information and you come to false conclusions ,I have to say this again and again and again..............
Which books had you referred to , many create stories to spread false propaganda. I'm showing you proofs with details, have you ever bothered to look at it???? Search it??..NO! NO AND NO.....
Your sources are not value to me since you do not show references. I ask truth from you, not the corrupt authors writing rubbish to fill people's mind with insane thoughts.
You are copy pasting Islamic propaganda from Naik.
So sorry that history books don't agree with Naik's propaganda.
Do you think you know more then the scholars who do research about Islam and the bible??????
Even you do not the bible i can say that since i had done research about it. I showed you all the verses of the bible with references that go against humanity. But still you all deny??
What's really funny is that you actually think we have any more or less interest for your god as any other. They are all equally invisible and undetectable.
As for you troubled man, all i have to say is ,if you say the scholar zakir naik is a fraud, what prove do you have about it??? He is the founder IRF, that is the Islamic Research Organisation.
There is one more scholar Dr. Bilal Phillips from Jamaica, he was a Christian then later converted to a Muslim and did research about Islam. He is now currently running the Islamic online university.
We are nowhere to prove them wrong in this century.

Yes, they are wrong, very obviously wrong.
Biography of zakir naik in wekipedia:
Lectures and debates
Naik has held many debates and lectures around the world. One of Naik's most-cited debates was with William Campbell in Chicago in April 2000 on the topic of "The Qur'an and the Bible: In the Light of Science".[16]
Naik has said that "despite the strident anti-Islam campaign, 34,000 Americans have embraced Islam from September 2001 to July 2002." He says Islam is a religion of reason and logic, and that the Quran contains 1000 verses relating to science, which he says explains the number of Western converts.[17] He argues that scientific theories were prophesised by the Quran. For example, he says certain verses of the Quran accurately describe embryological development.[18]
On 21 January 2006 Naik held an inter-religious dialogue with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in Bangalore about the concept of God in Islam and Hinduism.[19]
In February 2011 Naik addressed the Oxford Union via video link from India.[20]
The fact that you're able to cut and paste does not contribute at all to the validity of your beliefs.
Such wisdom?
Qur'an 41:11
"Moreover He comprehended in His design the sky, and it had been (as) smoke: He said to it and to the earth: "Come ye together, willingly or unwillingly." They said: "We do come (together), in willing obedience."
The universe is expanding not contracting as the Qur'an explains.
Qur'an 86:6-7
"He is created from a drop emitted .Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs"
It's the testicles that produce sperm.
Qur'an 31:34
"Verily the knowledge of the Hour is with Allah (alone). It is He Who sends down rain, and He Who knows what is in the wombs. Nor does any one know what it is that he will earn on the morrow: Nor does any one know in what land he is to die. Verily with Allah is full knowledge and He is acquainted (with all things)."
A simple ultrasound will show what's in the womb.
Qur'an 51:49
"And of every thing We have created pairs: That ye may receive instruction."
I take it Mohammad had not heard of parthenogenesis.
Why would a girl follow/love a religion that treat you as if you worth is half that of a boys?
Qur'an 4.11: Allah (thus) directs you as regards your Children's (Inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females:...
It's complete garbage. Naik is a charlatan. He spreads disinformation and fabrications.
There is no anti-Islam campaign, there is only the campaign of spreading Islam through false ideals and propaganda. Naik is one of those zealots.
So have to ever bothered to look and search the cut and paste things??? Why would you do such hardwork , better to sit idle and scrap over the truth....
I'm a stubborn headed girl who wants to prove this larryprice wrong about the statement. So I'm researching and putting into work because i love my religion.
It might be more effective if you paraphrased the argument and applied it to this discussion.
