A few samples of Quranic contradictions
Recently emailed to us by a recovering (i.e. former) Muslim, to highlight some egregious errors from a document all Muslims claim to be a ‘miracle’. Too bad the ‘miracle’ didn’t come with fact checking and copy editing.
The following Quranic ayats are taken mostly from the Quran translation of Maulana A. Yousuf Ali and Maulana Muhiuddin Khan:
How many days did it take to create the Heavens and the Earth?
Quran-7:54: Your guardian-Lord is Allah who created the heavens and earth in Six Days
Quran-10:3: Verily your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and earth in Six Days
Quran- 11:7: He it is Who created the heavens and earth in Six Days
Quran-25:29: He Who created the heavens and earth and all that is between, in Six Days
The above verses clearly state that Allah (God) created the heavens and the Earth in 6 days. But the verses below state
Quran-41:9 : Is it that ye deny Him who created the earth in Two Days?
Quran-41:10: He set on the (earth) Mountains standing firm high above it, and bestowed blessing on the earth, and measured therein all things to give them nourishment in due proportion, in FOUR DAYS…
Quran-41:12: So He completed them (heavens) as seven firmaments in Two days and …
Now do the math: 2 (for earth) + 4 (for nourishment) + 2 (for heavens) = 8 days; and not 6 days.
You can see similar mistakes in the verses: Quran-4:11, 4:12, and 4: 176 in inheritance law. In these verses one can see the total property after adding all distributed parts adds up more than the available property, i.e., the totals become more than 1 which are: 1.125 and 1.25. How come? A gross mathematical error, is it not?
Allah’s Days Equal to 1000 Years or 50,000 Years?
Quran-22:47: A day in the sight of the Lord is like a thousand years of your reckoning.
Quran-32:5: To Him, on a Day, the space whereof will be a thousand years of your reckoning
Quran-70:4: The angels and the spirit ascend unto him in a day the measure whereof is fifty thousand years.
So, which one is it? Is the day of Allah equal to 1,000 earth years or 50,000 earth years?
Creation of the Heavens and the Earth
Which one was created first? As you will see in the verses below, Allah at one time says that Earth was created first and another time he says that the Heavens were created first.
Quran-2:29: It is He who hath created for you all things that are on Earth; THEN He turned to the Heavens and made them into seven firmaments (Skies)….
Quran- 79:27-30: Are you the harder to create, or is the heaven that He built ? He raised the height thereof and ordered it; and He has made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morning thereof. And after that, He spread (flattened) the earth
Now, does it match modern science? Do you believe that, Earth was created first, and after that, God created Heaven? Does modern science tell us that? Or that there are SEVEN firmaments (layers)? Modern science tells us that, actually there is no such thing as a firmament or any roof over us, it is only space with no known boundary at all. These verses simply reinforce the ancient idea of a ROOF over us which is called the SKY! How funny!
Which one is correct?
Quran-2:256: There is no Compulsion in religion…
OR
Quran-9:29: Fight those who do not profess the true faith (Islam) till they pay the polltax (jiziya) with the hand of humility.
Quran-9:5: Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them and take them captive, and besiege them and prepare for them each ambush…
Quran-47:4: When you meet the unbelievers in the Jihad strike off their heads…
Quran-2:191: And slay (kill) them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out such is the reward of those who suppress faith.
Quran-8: 65: O Apostle! Rouse the believers to the fight…(against) unbelievers.
Very often apologetics claim that, Islam is a religion of peace and there is no compulsion. Yet, punishment of an apostate in Islam is, of course, the death penalty.

Hey, whatever happened to Solkhar, the Islamo-troll? First he couldn’t wait for my 10 questions, and when it came to answering the first two he already made a runner for it.
Thanks to all those WoJ readers who participated and wrote in with suggestions: very much appreciated! It seems unlikely that Solkhar or any of his co-religionists responds to any of the questions, but if you have any more questions for Muslims feel free to sent them in, perhaps the next troll is more knowledgable about his Islam. Solkhar was a miserable failure:
There are many absurdities and contradictions in the Koran, in fact too many to mention. But I’m curious about this one, Solkhar:
The Koran states that the Jews believe Ezra is Allah’s son (9:30).
Fact is:
No Jews believe that Ezra is Allah’s son.
Could you do us a favor and explain this nonsense?
Ah, and while you’re at it: surely you will have no problem explaining the following errors and gross contradictions  from your unholy book that supersedes all others:
