The Qur’an’s Messiah Problem

by
Free Quran Koran Islam page

The Qur’an fires off at Christians for saying, “The Messiah is the Son of Allah.” It follows the statement with an anathema: “May Allah condemn them!” (Qur’an 9:30). But here’s where things get awkward: Who exactly taught Christians to call the Messiah God’s Son in the first place? The prophets did. The very prophets and Scriptures the Qur’an claims to confirm. The prophets that were inspired by Allah. Oh, right. Yeah. Those prophets. Now, right off the bat, I’m not claiming Psalm 2 gives us the whole Nicene Creed or that Muslims have no possible reply. They do. The better question is whether those replies actually explain the evidence or merely keep Islam logically possible after … Read more

Did Muhammad Predict Oil? Nah.

by
Dust storm in Saudi Arabia

Some Muslim apologists like to say Muhammad predicted oil when he supposedly said, “The earth will vomit its treasures.” Here’s the actual hadith (Sahih Muslim 1013): “The earth will vomit long pieces of its liver like columns of gold and silver. The murderer will say, ‘It was for this that I killed,’ the thief will say, ‘It was for this that my hands were cut off,’ and they’ll leave it, taking nothing from it.” That’s not about oil. It literally mentions gold and silver, and ends with everyone walking away from the treasure. The point isn’t discovery of treasure, it’s about judgment. It’s a picture of people realizing how worthless greed was when the end … Read more

Who Actually Did Miracles—Paul or Muhammad?

Paul’s followers believed he worked miracles. His own letters say it. Acts records them in detail. Even skeptics admit the early church believed it. Muhammad? The Quran flat-out says he did no miracles. The only place you’ll find them is in Hadith—written over a century later. So if miracles are a sign of a true prophet, and we’re going by actual historical evidence, let’s be real—Paul has way more proof than Muhammad. Let’s break this down. Paul didn’t just claim to work miracles—he actually used them as proof that he was a real apostle. In 2 Corinthians 12:12, he tells the Corinthians: “The signs of a true apostle were performed among you with utmost patience, … Read more

What’s the Injil?

by

According to the Quran, what is the Gospel, or (in Arabic) the Injil? In this post, I’ll show that on Islam, this question has no answer. The Quran ties itself in a knot that it cannot escape. The Quran says that Allah taught the Injil to Jesus (Quran 3:48, 5:46, 5:110, 57:27). Whatever this Injil is, let’s call it Injil-J. Maybe it was written down, maybe not. Whatever these verses are referring to, whatever Jesus received, that’s Injil-J. The Quran also refers to the Injil as something that is with the People of the Book in Muhammad’s time, centuries later. Quran 5:46-47 says, “let the people of the Injil judge by what Allah has revealed … Read more

Debunking Dawah Spin: Muhammad Allowed Wife-Beating

by

I just made a video about how unclear the Quran is regarding Surah 4:34, the infamous “wife-beating” verse. Some modern translators try to water it down—saying “separate from them”, which is very different. But if the Quran is so clear, why is there so much disagreement about a moral command? And if it’s clear, why did earlier translators—including classical Muslim scholars—have no issue saying “beat”? And if it’s not clear, then it’s contradicting itself, since Surah 11:1 literally says the Quran is a “book whose verses are perfected and explained in detail.” So either the Quran is unclear or it’s bad. Pick your poison. Sunan Ibn Majah 1851 – “Don’t Leave a Mark” Now, I’ll … Read more

The Question No Muslim Can Answer

by

Muslims: Here’s a challenge. From pre-Muhammad sources, name someone who lived between 40 AD and 600 AD who you consider to be a true follower of Jesus. No excuses. Don’t say “Islam believes” or “the Quran says.” A name, and a pre-Muhammad historical source. Go. Cue the crickets. Prediction: You can’t, and that’s a big problem. In Quran 3:55, it says: “Allah said, ‘O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection.’” Allah promised Jesus that his followers would be superior. Quran 61:14 says that they will be dominant: … Read more

Deen Responds Fails the Muslim Challenge

by

Guys, I’m living in Deen’s head. The rent is free, but the view is terrible. Here’s his video response to me on the question no Muslim can answer. Here’s my original video for context: And finally, here’s another similar version of the argument: First, Deen Responds says I’ve “refuted myself” by using an argument from silence against Islam but not applying it consistently to the way I defend the New Testament. But let’s get this straight—not all arguments from silence are created equal. I’ve never claimed all arguments from silence are fallacious. See Dr. Tim McGrew’s 2013 peer-reviewed paper on the argument from silence. (Link) That’s what I reference when I discuss this topic. A … Read more

Deen Responds, I guess

by

Deen Responds, the same guy who just spent two hours embarrassing himself defending child marriage and his disgusting false prophet in a conversation with my friend Michael Jones from Inspiring Philosophy, took a swing at one of my videos. Looks like Grandpa’s got to take this kid behind the wood shed. In a previous video, I showed how the Quran claims that Jesus’s disciples were Muslims (Surah 3:52). But what if the apostles actually rejected key Islamic teachings? Let’s break it down: Muslims might try to dodge this by saying the disciples were fooled or corrupted the message later on. But Surah 61:14 says Allah made Jesus’s apostles victorious, meaning their message had His approval. … Read more
