===Functions of the Heart=== | |||
In several verses, the Qur'an ascribes understanding and thinking to the heart instead of the brain. | |||
{{Quote|{{Quran|6|25}}|Of them there are some who (pretend to) listen to thee; but We have thrown veils on their hearts, So they understand it not, and deafness in their ears; if they saw every one of the signs, not they will believe in them; in so much that when they come to thee, they (but) dispute with thee; the Unbelievers say: "These are nothing but tales of the ancients." }} | |||
{{Quote|{{Quran|7|179}}|Many are the Jinns and men we have made for Hell: They have hearts wherewith they understand not, eyes wherewith they see not, and ears wherewith they hear not. They are like cattle,- nay more misguided: for they are heedless (of warning). }} | |||
{{Quote|{{Quran|9|87}}|They prefer to be with (the women), who remain behind (at home): their hearts are sealed and so they understand not. }} | |||
{{Quote|{{Quran|17|46}}|And We place upon their hearts veils lest they should understand it, and in their ears a deafness; and when thou makest mention of thy Lord alone in the Qur'an, they turn their backs in aversion. }} | |||
{{Quote|{{Quran|11|5}}|Lo! now they fold up their breasts that they may hide (their thoughts) from Him. At the very moment when they cover themselves with their clothing, Allah knoweth that which they keep hidden and that which they proclaim. Lo! He is Aware of what is in the breasts (of men). }} | |||

===Crucifixions in Ancient Egypt=== | ===Crucifixions in Ancient Egypt=== | ||
Not only that but | There are no references from any culture anywhere in the world to crucifixion as a method of execution before 500 BCE, where they started to appear in several middle eastern cultures, and it is not clear that their crucifixions were the same as what we know (the Roman crucifixion)/they are the same type. Ancient Egypt has been extensively studied in archaeology as well. However, the Qur’an tells of crucifixions at the time of Joseph (approximately 2000 BCE) and Moses (approximately 1500 BCE). | ||
Not only that, but crucifixions are often mentioned in a very casual way in the Qu'ran, so the practice must have been widespread enough to be understood by common people, as common people are being addressed in these suras. | |||
{{Quote|{{Quran|12|41}}| | {{Quote|{{Quran|12|41}}| | ||
O two companions of prison, as for one of you, he will give drink to his master of wine; but as for the other, he will be crucified, and the birds will eat from his head. The matter has been decreed about which you both inquire." }} | O two companions of prison, as for one of you, he will give drink to his master of wine; but as for the other, he will be crucified, and the birds will eat from his head.

{{Quote|{{Quran|7|124}}| | {{Quote|{{Quran-range|7|123|124}}| | ||
Said Pharaoh: "Believe ye in Him before I give you permission? Surely this is a trick which ye have planned in the city to drive out its people: but soon shall ye know (the consequences). Be sure I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will cause you all to die on the cross." }} | |||

===Prophets of Islam were Sent to Every Nation=== | |||
There is no evidence that prophets preaching Islam or similar beliefs (monotheism) were ever sent to China, India, Japan, Polynesia, Australia, South-East Asia, Central Asia, Scandinavia, the polar regions, most of Africa and the pre-Columbian Americas. At the most, Judaism and Christianity (upon which Islam builds) were present in the Middle East, North Africa and Europe during the lifetime of Muhammad. Yet the Quran claims that every nation (or community) had a messenger. | |||
{{Quote|{{Quran|16|36}}|And certainly We raised in '''every''' nation a messenger saying: Serve Allah and shun the Shaitan. So there were some of them whom Allah guided and there were others against whom error was due; therefore travel in the land, then see what was the end of the rejecters.}} | |||

===Inanimate Things Are Offered to Obey Allah but are Afraid=== | |||
{{Quote|{{Quran|33|72}}|We did indeed offer the Trust to the Heavens and the Earth and the Mountains; but they refused to undertake it, being afraid thereof: but man undertook it;- He was indeed unjust and foolish;- }} | |||
Major translations of have the Arabic word "al-amanah" translated as "Trust" but the commentaries on the Qur'an call it "obedience" or "obligation" expected from the heavens, earth and mountains.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.qtafsir.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1810&Itemid=89 |title=How Man bore the Amanah |publisher= |author=Ibn Kathir |date= |archiveurl= |deadurl=no}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.altafsir.com/Tafasir.asp?tMadhNo=0&tTafsirNo=74&tSoraNo=33&tAyahNo=72&tDisplay=yes&UserProfile=0&LanguageId=2 |title=Tafsir al-Jalalayn: Surah 33 Ayah 72 |publisher=Altafsir.com |author= |date= |archiveurl=http://www.webcitation.org/6jwzSaMpF |deadurl=no}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.altafsir.com/Tafasir.asp?tMadhNo=0&tTafsirNo=73&tSoraNo=33&tAyahNo=72&tDisplay=yes&UserProfile=0&LanguageId=2 |title=Tanwir al-Miqbas min Tafsir Ibn ‘Abbas: Surah 33 Ayah 72 |publisher= |author= |date= |archiveurl=http://www.webcitation.org/6jwzvCZ5Z |deadurl=no}}</ref> Nevertheless, all of these are human qualities and cannot be ascribed to inanimate things. | |||
