Question
assalamu alaikom
(peace upon you)
i'm a muslim girl.... i've read ur article.....and i wanted to tell you some things about the holy quraan....which'll lead you to beleive in god's existance,and that the holy quraan wasn't written by a human being...i'm talking about the quraan not the bible coz we both know that the bible which we see now is very diffrent than the original..so i'll tell u somethings i know about the holy quraan...not all..coz i can't explain all the things i know in english...my english won't help me in this subject...that's why i sent u the link 2 the islamic site islam guide....but i'll try as much as i can...in the holy quran there's a verse says
(and then he egged the earth)..how did the prophet mohammed (pbuh) know that
the earth is in the shape of the egg 1425 years ago?..he didn't know
how 2 write or read at that time,how did he know that fact?...the logic says that he was told about this fact....and who's this genious who knew this fact 1425 years ago?.....logic also says that it's not possible for any human at that time to know this fact....then who told him?...the only answer is that he was inspired...from who?....the one who created the earth,that's why he knows everything about it....god.....or do you have another explaination?.....the
holy quran is god's book, and the creater knows everything about the
things he created,no human being could know something about this,another
verse in the quran tells the phases of the foetus so correctly,things
the world didn't know b4 the 20th century,how did prophet mohammed knew
this 1425 years ago,if the quran wasn't a book from god?...think about
it..,another thing..they found recently that ants has a language,
that was writen in the quran...the fact that the sperm is the sex determination
factor was written in the quran 1425 years ago...another verse says that mountains are like sticks..not a normal sticks but a stick which most of it is under the ground or the see...so..we can only see the small part of it...they found recently that mountains have a very deep roots and that the part we see is only the top of it...wut do u think?...the water cycle is written so correctly...the fact that if a sea met a river there's always an invisible line between their waters...they found recently that there's water waves inside the see or the ocean....waves ander the waves we see....also written in the quraan..and much much more i can't translate...how did prophet
mohammed know that?......if we also added the fact that the quraan is the only holy book on earth that hasn't been changed(and that's very easy to prove cause the first copy is saved....and if you compared it with any new copy ,u won't find any diffrence)......then tell me how could an illitrate man knew all these facts?.....some people say how could ur prophet be an illitrate,that's a part of the miracale...the quraan can't be made by a genious at our time...then how could an illitrate write it 1425 years ago?.....god inspired him with these facts,only god could know these
facts,now we know some of these facts..not all..there's alot of secrets
in this life that we don't know..only god knows it...and i repeat
my quistion..how did mohammed(who doesn't know how 2 write or read)know
all these things if he was the author of the quran?....it was sent from
god....think about it...u're a smart person who think by logic..
mohammed can't be the author of the quran...no human being can be the
author of it...even now..no one can make a book like the quran...there's so so many miracles in the quran but my english is not helping me..
i can't explain all the things i know,another thing....the arabians
were very good at poatry,but they all said 2 prophet mohammed that
the quran's not written by a human,even though they were not muslims...2 make u understand this u must be very good at arabic which is not possible..but these are some little facts about the quraan,and it's easy for you to understand...:

Dr. Tariq Al Swaidan (a famous islamic thinker) discovered some verses in the Holy Qur'an that Mention one thing is equal to another, i.e. men are equal to women. Although this makes sense grammatically, the astonishing fact is that the number of times the word man appears in the Qur'an is 24 and number of times the word woman appears is also 24, therefore not only is this phrase correct in the grammatical sense but also true mathematically,

I.e. 24 = 24.

Upon further analysis of various verses, he discovered that this is consistent throughout the whole Qur'an, where it says one thing is like another. See below for astonishing result of the words mentioned number of times in Arabic Qur'an:

Dunia (one name for life) 115. Aakhirat (one name for the life after this world) 115 Malaika (Angels) 88 . Shayteen (Satan) 88 Life 145. Death 145 Benefit 50. Corrupt 50 People 50. Messengers 50 Eblees (king of devils) 11. Seek refuge from Eblees 11 Museebah (calamity) 75. Thanks 75 Spending (Sadaqah) 73. Satisfaction 73 People who are mislead 17. Dead people 17 Muslimeen 41. Jihad 41 Gold 8. Easy life 8 Magic 60. Fitnah (dissuasion, misleading) 60 Zakat (Taxes Muslims pay to the poor) 32 .Barakah (Increasing or blessings of wealth) 32 Mind 49. Noor 49 Tongue 25. Sermon 25 Desite 8. Fear 8 Speaking publicly 18. Publicising 18 Hardship 114. Patience 114 Muhammed 4. Sharee'ah (Muhammed's teachings) 4 Man 24. Woman 24

And amazingly enough have a look how many times the following words appear:

Salah 5, Month 12, Day 365, Sea 32, Land 13 Sea + land = 32+13= 45 Sea = 32/45*100=71.11111111% Land = 13/45*100 = 28.88888889% Sea + land =100.00% Modern science has only recently proven that the water covers 71.111% Of the earth, while the land covers 28.889%. Is this a coincidence?

Question is that Who taught Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) all this? Reply automatically comes in mind that ALMIGHTY ALLAH taught him this. As the Qur'an also tells us this.

remember..that the quraan is sent to earth 1425 years  ago.....

it's impossible 4 a human 2 write a single verse of the quraan...either because of the linguistic miracales,or because of the scientific facts...god put that challenge in the quraan..and till now...no one could make a single verse like it...and the challenge is still on...i'm telling u this 2 let u know that even though prophets are humans but they're honest messengers..and for muslims..god promised 2 keep the holy quraan safe from humans...so that's why the quraan hasn't changed...get a copy from any country..any place...it's the same every where..and it's the same since 1425 years....(.اِنّا نحن نزلنا الذكر واِنّا له لحافظون)..(we put the quraan on earth and we shall keep it safe).........i said these tings hoping u'll think more about god... our loving god who cares much about us...who sent us messages so we can know right from wrong...who'll give each wut he deserves...either hell or paradise...they're both true...judgement day is true....so..prepare for it....think deeply...i can talk with you about the creation of the earth...evolution....the univerce...and anything else you want to talk about.... i'm waiting for ur reply and i'm ready for any question.....

Answer
Hello iythar hassan,

I appreciate the obvious amount of time and effort that you have placed in writing your statement. I am always glad to meet someone that is not only passionate about their beliefs but that lives their life in a way that compliments them. In your statement you have made some valid points, however some of your examples seem to have been molded so that they would match the facts instead of vise-versa, case in point, (and then he egged the earth).. the earth is not in fact the shape of an egg. I agree with you that it may be close but definitely not an egg. I could also look at this same statement to mean that God planted the earth, that he gave life where there was none. Also in your statement you gave many references about numbers and the corresponding facts. Although I do indeed find this interesting it still falls far short of what I would call conclusive proof of the existence of a God. I guess when it boils down to it I do not believe that God is the supreme being any more then I believe that Mohammed or Jesus were his prophets. I will admit that I appreciate some of the teachings of Islam but as a whole I find that I am disappointed in the Muslim religion.  I believe the quraan to be based on kindness and respect for your fellow man and yet the opposite appears to be the rule of the day.  I see intolerance for not only other religions but for anyone with a different belief. I really think that Muslims throughout the world have a lot to atone for and should be reexamining the direction that your faith is going.
In short, I do thank you for your interest, but in the future I would pay more attention to the condition of my own house before I started talking about anyone else's.

I can answer just about any question that you may have about Atheism itself, dealing with being an Atheist in a religous world, or theological, religion based questions concerning atheism.

Experience

I became an Atheist at the age of 15 and have remained so for the past 21 years. At that time I was the only Atheist that I had ever met so I spent the next several years researching most types of religion as well as the concept itself. I am not here to convert or argue, but just to help you find the path that is right for you.
