Some Internal Contradictions of Qur'an (part 5)

36.Was Pharaoh Drowned or Saved when chasing Moses and the Israelites? Saved [10:92], drowned
[28:40, 17:103, 43:55].

37.When Commanded Pharaoh the Killing of the Sons? When Moses was a Prophet and spoke God's
truth to Pharaoh [40:23-25] or when he was still an infant [20:38-39]?

38.When/how are the fates determined? "The night of power is better than a thousand months. The
angels and spirit descend therein, by the permission of their Lord, with all decrees." [97:3,4] "Lo!
We revealed it on a blessed night." [44:3] To Muslims, the "Night of Power" is a blessed night on
which fates are settled and on which everything relating to life, death, etc., which occurs
throughout the year is decreed. It is said to be the night on which Allah's decrees for the year are
brought down to the earthly plane. In other words, matters of creation are decreed a year at a time.
Contradicting this, Sura 57:22 says, "No affliction befalls in the earth or in your selves, but it is in
a Book before we create it." This means it is written in the Preserved Tablet, being totally fixed in
Allah's knowledge before anyone was created. All of the above is contradicted by "And every
man's fate We have fastened to his own neck." This says that man alone is responsible for what he
does and what happens to him. [17:13]

39.Wine: Good or bad? Strong drink and ... are only an infamy of Satan's handiwork. [5:90, also
2:219]. Yet on the other hand in Paradise are rivers of wine [47:15, also 83:22,25]. How does
Satan's handiwork get into Paradise?

40.Will all Muslims go to Hell? According to Sura 19:71 every Muslim will go to Hell (for at least
some time), while another passage states that those who die in Jihad will go to Paradise
immediately.

41.Will Jesus burn in Hell? Jesus is raised to Allah, [Sura 4:158], near stationed with him [Sura 3:45],
worshiped by millions of Christians, yet Sura Sura 21:98 says, that all that are worshiped by men
besides Allah will burn in Hell together with those who worship them.

42.Jinns and men created for worship or for Hell? Created only to serve God [Sura 51:56], many of
them made for Hell [Sura 7:179].

43.Who is the father of Jesus? A more involved argument that is difficult to summarize in one
sentence.

44. Begetting and Self-sufficiency A self-contradiction on account of confused terminology.

45. Could Allah have a son? Sura 39:4 affirms and Sura 6:101 denies this possibility.

46.Did Jesus Die already? Surah 3:144 states that all messengers died before Muhammad. But 4:158
claims that Jesus was raised to God (alive?).

47.One Creator or many? The Qur'an uses twice the phrase that Allah is "the best of creators" [23:14,
37:125]. What other creators are in mind? On the other hand, many verses make clear that Allah
alone is "the creator of all things" [e.g. 39:62]. There is nothing left for others to be a creator of.

48.From among all nations or from Abraham's seed? Surah 29:27 states that all prophets came
Abraham's seed. But 16:36 claims that Allah raised messengers from among every people.

49.Marrying the wives of adopted sons? It is important that Muslims can marry the divorced wives of
adopted sons [Sura 33:37], yet it is forbidden to adopt sons [Sura 33:4-5].
