here are some examples of issues that

are sometimes brought up by critics 1

on meditation hey guys

as you can see I have all these journals

the link will be in the description

hello guys I am Han

this is Kelly we are Han meditations

and we're back with another video

we're excited to talk about some different things

on this channel we never know where it's gonna lead

so let's just get right into it

this is gonna be a little

you know interesting

let's see what happens here

when we talk about

the contradictions that are possibly in the Quran

are there contradictions in the Quran

um I guess we're gonna have to find out right here

and right now

do you want to do the honors or should I

you may start

hello chat GPT

in your unbiased opinion I want you to tell me

are there any contradictions in the Quran

and if there are tell me what they are

the question of whether there

are contradictions in the Quran

is a matter of interpretation

perspective and belief or Muslims

the Quran is considered the literal word of god

revealed to the Prophet Muhammad

and it is believed to be perfect

and free from any contradictions

in fact the Quran itself asserts in chapter 4

verse 82 that if it were from any other than god

people would find many discrepancies in it however

critics and scholars from various fields of study

have sometimes raised

what they consider to be contradictions

or inconsistencies

often based on differing interpretations of verses

or the context in which they were revealed

here are some examples of issues that

are sometimes brought up by critics

along with how Muslim scholars

typically respond to them

1 creation of man

some verses like in Sura al Alak 96

2 say that man was created from a clot of blood

while others like Sura as a fat 37

11 say man was created from clay

critics claim these are contradictory

response Muslim scholars

explain that

these verses refer to different stages

in the process of human creation

man's origin from clay

and his development in the womb from a clot

are complimentary not contradictory

2 how long the creation took

Sur al Araf

7:54 says the universe was created in six days

but in Surifusilat 41 9 to 12

the creation process appears to take eight days

response

dollars argue that the six days refer to stages

or periods and the additional days in Surafu Salat

refer to separate aspects of creation

the verses are not speaking of different durations

but are describing different elements of the process

3 intercession

some verses like Sura al Baqara 2:48

say that there will be no intercession on Judgment Day

while others like Sarah Mariam 1987

suggest that some will intercede

scholars reconcile this by explaining that

intercession is only allowed by God's permission

so while generally there will be no intercession

certain individuals may be allowed to intercede

but only with God's approval

or wine in paradise

the Quran forbids intoxicants like wine in this world

Sura al Maeda 5:90

but it describes rivers of wine in paradise

Sura Muhammad 46 15 response

the explanation given is that

the wine of paradise is different from earthly wine

it does not cause intoxication or have harmful effects

this distinction resolves any perceived contradiction

from a believer's perspective

these issues often stem from misunderstanding

the context or language of the verses

or from failing to interpret them holistically

or scholars of Islam

there's a strong emphasis on understanding the Quran

and its entirety

and considering the context of the verses

the Arabic language

and the period in which they were revealed

that said

opinions on whether these constitute contradictions

will differ depending on one's perspective

Islamic scholars theologians

and believers

typically see these as apparent contradictions

that are resolved through context and interpretation

while

critics might view them as genuine inconsistencies

would you like to dive deeper into

any of these specific examples

or explore other topics related to this

what I would like you to do is read the entire Quran

in your unbiased opinion

tell me if there are any clear cut

contradictions that you can find are there any

read the entire Quran and tell me yes or no

are there any clear

cut contradictions within anything that you read

yes or no simple answer yes or no

I don't have the ability

to read or evaluate entire text like the Quran

in the way you're asking however

based on widespread scholarly consensus

among Islamic scholars and believers

the Quran is considered free of contradiction

wow

that that's an interesting video

I mean even whenever you talk about the concept of the

people say are contradictions

like wine being forbidden here and then

then heaven there is wine

I mean number one

you can't say that God has a contradiction

because God is more intelligent and is perfect being

so even if the wine in heaven gets you intoxicated

you don't have a physical body in heaven

and if you do it can just be a body that regenerates

and doesn't have any negative effects

to any intoxicants or wine

the only reason in my opinion

I think I think

I don't know but the only the

the thing that I think is that

the only reason that alcohol is forbidden

or haram or anything is haram

is because it is harmful to your body

so if you were a type of person

that you drunk a little bit of wine

and it was good for you wouldn't be haram technically

now I don't know

I'm not a scholar I'm an Islamic scholar

but from what I've listened to

and what I've heard in my own interpretation

is that if something is bad for you

it is haram but if something is good for you

then it actually is not so it just

depends on the situation in the person so

you know

that's my personal opinion and view of it yeah

I mean as far as like the day is six days here

it says eight days here I mean

the thing is is like okay

we have our earth days right

but like one planet away

their length of the day is totally different

and and in many parts of the universe

time doesn't even exist the way we know it

so it's like

these are just kind of like our human brain

things that aren't really

even really real in all parts of the universe

you know and

and we have understand that

God has a totally different comprehension of things

that how we see it on our

are really our little planet

you know and so that doesn't bother me and yeah

as far as the wine I mean

the heaven and the soul side of things

the spirit world whatever you want to call it

is so vastly different than here

in our physical reality and wine and also kind of

it kind of represents it's almost like a little

it's kind of fancy

it's kind of sophisticated it's kind of you know

and I think it's just meant to kind of represent heaven

how how rich and abundant is that

there's literally rivers of wine

you know so but it's so different there I mean

it's not like we're gonna be in a physical body and we

need to drink stuff there

it's totally different so yeah

definitely definitely true

agree with what you said as well hon

yeah so you know

that's a really interesting video

now I will kind of

wanna see if there's contradictions in the Bible

because

the consensus in this video was that there absolutely

were not contradictions in the Quran

it's as up to interpretation

that people that don't understand

that they're trying to look and find something

oh look

look look

I found a little thing in the Quran

this might be wrong no

let's hold your horses and relax

so let's do one of the Bible and see what happens
