Four people or families cannot be descendants of each other. An ascendant has a descendant and vice versa. Adam cannot be | Four people or families cannot be descendants of each other. An ascendant has a descendant and vice versa. Adam cannot be anybody's descendant. | ||
==Revelations for whom?== | |||
{{Quote|{{Quran|2|118}}|And those who have no knowledge say: Why doth not Allah speak unto us, or some sign come unto us? Even thus, as they now speak, spake those (who were) before them. Their hearts are all alike. '''We have made clear the revelations for people who are sure.'''}} | |||
Why does Allah need to make his signs clear to people who are sure/believers/Muslims? Is'nt he supposed to give proofs to those who are unsure and to non-Muslims? | |||

"O ye Children of Adam! whenever there come to you messengers from amongst you, rehearsing My signs unto you,- those who are righteous and mend (their lives),- on them shall be no fear nor shall they grieve." | "O ye Children of Adam! whenever there come to you messengers from amongst you, rehearsing My signs unto you,- those who are righteous and mend (their lives),- on them shall be no fear nor shall they grieve." | ||
==Allah's use of prepositions== | |||
This is a subtle error but it shows that Allah is far from being an all-knowing god. | |||
{{Quote|{{Quran|8|30}}|Remember how the Unbelievers plotted against you [Muhammad], to keep you in | |||
bonds, '''or''' slay you, '''or''' get you out (of your home). They deceive, and Allah too deceives; but the best of deceivers is Allah.”}} | |||
Allah should have used "and" instead of "or" if the Meccans really plotted such punishments for Muhammad. With the two uses of "or" it appears as if he is guessing what the Meccans had plotted. | |||
==Change of the listener== | |||
{{Quote|{{Quran-range|17|63|64}}|He said: Be gone! for whoever of them will follow you, then surely hell is your recompense, a full recompense.<br>And beguile whomsoever of them you can with your voice, and collect against them your forces riding and on foot, and share with them in wealth and children, and hold out promises to them; and the Shaitan makes not promises to them but to deceive.}} | |||
The listener suddenly changes from Satan to probably his followers. The second "them" is unclear and disputed among classical Islamic scholars. This is also a possible taqiyya verse. | |||

{{Quote|{{Quran|41|43}}|Nothing is said to thee that was not said to the messengers before thee: that thy lord has at his Command (all) forgiveness as well as a most Grievous Penalty. }} | {{Quote|{{Quran|41|43}}|Nothing is said to thee that was not said to the messengers before thee: that thy lord has at his Command (all) forgiveness as well as a most Grievous Penalty. }} | ||
==Freudian slips== | |||

===Confusion over the identity of the speaker=== | |||
