This is a deliberate distortion of the meaning of the verses and mixing up of laws that apply under different circumstances. When understood, the numbers will add up perfectly . Verse 4:11 gives 2/3 of the estate to the female inheritors of the man. These include the wife and the daughters. Here is 4:11 [4] (Khalifa's translation) GOD decrees a will for the benefit of your children; the male gets twice the share of the female. If the inheritors are only women, more than two, they get two-thirds of what is bequeathed...... Here is the false claim again : <<When a man dies, and is leaving behind three daughters, his two parents and his wife, they will receive the respective shares of 2/3 for the 3 daughters together, 1/3 for the parents together [both according to verse 4:11] and 1/8 for the wife [4] which adds up to more than the available estate.>> According to the Quran, 4:11, the wife and the daughters (who are the primary inheritor of a man) will get 2/3 of his estate and the parents will get 1/3 and this adds up to a perfect ONE. 4:12 details that the wife will get 1/8 of the estate but this is not a separate portion of the total of 2/3 that all the females will inherit from the man's estate in case a man dies leaving behind more than two female inheritors. There is no contradiction here and the numbers do add PERFECTLY. Here is the 2 nd false claim : <<A second example: A man leaves only his mother, his wife and two sisters, then they receive 1/3 [mother, 4:11], 1/4 [wife, 4:12] and 2/3 [the two sisters, 4:176], which again adds up to 15/12 of the available property. >> Here again is a deliberate distortion of the laws in the verses. Each portion of the inheritance in the above example is taken from and applied to a different circumstance which is obviously wrong God in 4:11 gives the mother of the deceased person 1/3 of the estate if there was no one else (including a wife) to inherit his estate. The mother would get 1/6 if he has siblings. The law described in this example above, for two sisters , in 4:176, is given in case the deceased has no mother, father or children and you cannot add a portion assigned to a mother to a portion assigned to sisters in case of a deceased mother. You cannot add a portion for the wife in this case either as the portion used for the mother is ONLY given if the deceased left no wife or sisters. The claimer is trying to fool the reader here. Adding what the wife gets to what the siblings get to what the mother gets (in this case) is a clear distortion and misrepresentation as the law gives the mother the wife and the siblings different portions under different circumstances. In all these cases and when the law is applied as indicated without mixing the laws they still all add up perfectly. In the example of the claimer, the wife will get 1/4 (verse 4:12), the mother will get 1/6 (4:11) and the two sisters each gets 1/6 (4:12). this adds up to 1/4 + 1/6+ 1/3 = 3/4 . In this case 1/4 of the estate is left out deliberately for the inheritors to split it as they see fit for their own circumstances and after fulfilling God's law and requirements. Quran strongly recommends in 2:180 that a will shall be left to conform with the specific circumstances of the deceased. For example, if the son is rich and the daughter is poor, one may leave a will giving the daughter everything, or twice as much as the son.
These two sets of verses speak of different times, and different events. The verses 3:42-45 speak of several angels, while 19:17-21 speak of only one (Gabriel), however by reading these verses carefully we note that they speak of different events that took place at different times. A- We read in 3:44: "……..when they drew their raffles to select Mary's guardian. You were not present when they argued with one another." These words confirm that the timing of verses 3:42-45 is related to the time when a guardian was being chosen to look after Mary, and thus a time when Mary was still young and in need of a guardian. Consequently, this also indicates that the timing of these verses was before the actual conception and birth of Jesus. At that time, we are told that the angels (in plural) foretold Mary the good news about the coming of Jesus but did not give the specific time of that event which was left for Gabriel in a future presentation to Mary. "The angels said, "O Mary, GOD gives you good news: a Word from Him whose name is `The Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary. He will be prominent in this life and in the Hereafter, and one of those closest to Me." 3:45 However, in 19:17-21 , we are told of the specific time of the conception of Jesus inside Mary's womb. At that time Mary was a grown up woman. That mission was given specifically to Gabriel, thus we read in 19:19 how Gabriel told Mary that he was sent specifically by Almighty God to grant her a pure child: "He (Gabriel) said, "I am the messenger of your Lord, to grant you a pure son." After reading these verses it becomes evident that the assumed contradiction is a direct result of the author's poor understanding of the Quran.
It may be too much to expect the author of the claim to understand that the Quran speaks of the theory of 'Time Dilation' which was to be confirmed by Einstein 13 centuries after the revelation of the Quran! Apart from the fact that these verses speak of different events, the truly amazing observation here is that the Quran speaks of a scientific theory that was only to be known after Einstein put forward his theory of relativity in 1905. First let us read the three verses refered to: "………. A day of your Lord is like a thousand of your years." 22:47 "All matters are controlled by Him from the heaven to the earth. To Him, the day is equivalent to one thousand of your years." 32:5 "The angels, with their reports, climb to Him in a day that equals fifty thousand years." 70:4 Note that only the first two of these verses speak of a day relative to God (1000 years of our count) .... However, the third verse does not speak of a day relative to God, therefore before demonstrating the scientific significance of these verses, it must be said that there is no contradiction between the first two verses on one hand and the third verse on the other hand. Scientific significance: The theory of relativity states that since we live in a space-time universe there is no such thing as 'absolute time'. What relativity tells us is that time, measured in our frame of reference (our point of view), runs at a different speed from time in another frame of reference. This phenomenon is called 'Time Dilation'. The equation which predicts this 'stretching' of time is: T = t divided by the square root of [ 1 - (V x V)divided by (C x C) ] t = length of a time interval for us T = length of a time interval for another frame of reference. V = velocity of other frame of reference C = speed of light (approx. 300,000 km/second) The mathematics of relativity says that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. If a body travels faster than the speed of light ( where V is greater than C ) we would get a negative value for the section marked between the [ ...... ], but since there is no square root for a negative value, the equation cannot accept speeds greater than the speed of light. However, it has been discovered that some particles actually travel faster than light. These are called 'tachyons'. They cannot travel at the speed of light, only faster. The amazing notation of these Quranic verses, besides confirming the theory of 'Time Dilation', is that they confirm the fact that if there is such frames of reference where one day is equal to a thousand years of our count, and even fifty thousand years of our count, they must be travelling at speeds many times faster than the speed of light. These frames of reference cannot be physical, and that is because according to the relativity equations the speed of light is the limiting factor in our physical wor
False claim The total in any of these verses is 6 (not 8). , these verses read: "Say, "You disbelieve in the One who created the earth in two days, and you set up idols to rank with Him, though He is Lord of the universe." He placed on it stabilizers (mountains), made it productive, and He calculated its provisions in four days, to satisfy the needs of all its inhabitants. Then He turned to the sky, when it was still gas, and said to it, and to the earth, "Come into existence, willingly or unwillingly." They said, "We come willingly." Thus, He completed the seven universes in two days, and set up the laws for every universe. And we adorned the lowest universe with lamps, and placed guards around it. Such is the design of the Almighty, the Omniscient." 41:9-12 What these verses are saying is that the physical universe (the word earth is used in the Quran either to mean the planet earth, or as in this case to represent the physical universe) was created in two days and that the setting up of all the provisions necessary for life was completed inside four days. To put it in different words, the physical universe was created and its provisions set up inside four days. The error of the author is that he added 2 plus 4 , whereas the wording of the verse indicates that the four days include the two days of its creation. Then we are told that the completion of the creation of all seven universes (where our physical universe is the innermost) required two extra days, for a total of six days. Moreover, it must be noted that the "days" of creation are only used as a yardstick, they do not mean 24 earthly hours.
"Be! And it is".Quick ,but for the heavens and the earth takes time
2:29 does NOT say that the earth was created first He is the One who created for you all that's inside earth (Matter), then turned to the sky and perfected seven universes therein,* and He is fully aware of all things." 2:29 Verse 2:29 is of remarkable scientific significance. More than one verse in the Quran confirm the theory of the Big Bang. Verses 2:29 is one of those verses. This verse states that all physical matter was created before the creation of the universe (space). The theory of the Big Bang confirms that all matter that comprises the universe (and of which earth is formed) was once concentrated in a very small area. When this extremely dense concentration of mass exploded outwards it signalled the birth of time and space. If we read 2:29 we note that it does not say that earth was created before the universe, but in accordance with the theory of the Big Bang, it confirms that all matter which the earth is made of (elements) was created before space……. The very accurate and indeed scientific wording of this glorious verse obviously went unnoticed by the evidently unscientifically minded author of this false claim. The Arabic words (ma fee Al-Ard) literally mean 'what is INSIDE the earth'. Thus God is saying that He has created all matter (of which earth is made of) first then He created space. This is in total agreement with the theory of the Big Bang which states that all matter was confined in an extremely dense singularity, and that space was created after the explosion of this infinitely dense singularity
Once again and due to the inadequate scientific knowledge of the author, he made this false claim. These two verses speak of two very different events. "Do the unbelievers not realize that the heavens (space) and the earth (matter) used to be one solid mass that we exploded into existence?" 21:30 "Then He turned to the sky (space), when it was still smoke, and said to it, and to the earth (matter), "Come willingly or unwillingly." They said, "We come willingly." 41:11 Immediately we are given various accurate scientific indications that these two verses speak of two completely different events. These indications are: 1- The word 'exploded' in 21:30 confirms the original moment of the Big Bang when time, space and matter were all one unit of creation that exploded outwards. 2- The command from God to space and matter to 'come willingly (into existence)….', in 41:11 implies that space and matter were already in existence. This confirms that this verse speaks of an event subsequent to the initial moment of creation. 3- The word 'smoke' in 41:11 is very accurate in describing the hot gases that formed after the Big Bang explosion, and which condense under their gravitational pull to form stars and galaxies. It becomes obvious thus that 21:30 speaks of the outward explosion of the Big Bang , while 41:11 speaks of the subsequent inward condensation of clouds of gas and matter under their gravitational force, to form stars and galaxies. |
