When I was a child (around 14/15) I was watching an episode of the Colbert Report and a Muslim fellow mentioned that unbelievers will go to Hell. This scared me, because I always thought those who didn’t believe in Christianity would go to Hell; now I must worry that if I pick the wrong Religion I would end up in Hell?

Because of the wonderful advances of the internet within the last eight years I have been able to look up arguments in favor and opposed to Islam and Christianity and I have come to a conclusion, without doubt that Islam is a false Religion. I don’t wish that anyone should ever have such a thought of eternal damnation on their mind because they chose the wrong Religion, so I decided to put this together in hopes to clear up any consciences. It’s also in hope that perhaps one day a Muslim will stumble upon this and accept Jesus Christ for who He truly is.

Over time I have accumulated some arguments against Islam and I decided to present some of my favorites to the rest of you. They are all solid when evangelizing or discussing Religion with Muslims.

Here is the index in alphabetical order:
  1. Aorta and Muhammad’s death
  2. Atonement in Islam and objections to Christianity
  3. Authenticity of the Qur’an
  4. Disciples of Jesus in Islam
  5. Fighting
  6. Plagiarism
  7. Taqiyya (Lying for the sake of Islam)
  8. The Bible in Islam
  9. Women
  10. Worst of creatures
Aorta and Muhammad’s death:
One would think that if Islam is false, and Christianity is true but Islam would come to take up over 20% of the population; then God might be occupied with the affairs of Islam. I have a feeling that Islam can show a sense of irony that God has and I’ll explain how.
Fortunately for Christians and Muslims we have been given the knowledge on how to spot a false Prophet. Let’s look to Jesus’s words for guidance on the matter for just a second:

*Matthew 7:15"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
This is how we are to recognize a Prophet and conclude whether he be a true one, or false. Now let’s dig into the Qur’an and see what it says on the matter:

Qur’an 69:44-46 And if Muhammad had fabricated against us some of the sayings, we would certainly have seized him by the right hand, then would certainly have cut off his aorta.*
First, I’m going to explain who, “we” is. In the Qur’an often Allah will refer to himself as, “we.” This is called a royal we so one should not be confused. Allah is literally saying that he will cut off the aorta of Muhammad if he fabricates any of the sayings in the Qur’an.
Now it’s time to look at what the Hadith says about Muhammad’s death:

Sunan abu dawud 4498 Muhammad then said about the pain which he died: "I continued to feel pain from the morsel which I had eaten at Khalbar. This is the time when it has* cut off my aorta**.*"

*Sunan abu dawud 4498: A Jewess presented Muhammad at Khaibar a roasted sheep which she had poisoned. The apostle of Allah ate of it and the people also ate. He then said, "lift your hands from eating, for it has informed me that it is poisoned. Bishr b al-bara b. Ma’rur al-ansari died. So muhammad sent for the jewess and said to her, “what motivated you to do the work you have done?” She said, "if you were a prophet, it would not harm you; but if you were a king, I would rid the people of you. The apostle of allah then ordered regarding her and she was killed. He then said about the pain of which he died: "I continued to feel pain from the morsel which I had eaten at khaibar. This is the time when it has cut off my aorta.
*
*Sunan abu dawud 4449: Umm bishr said to the prophet during the sickness of which he died: what do you think about your illness apostle of allah? I do not think about the illness of my son except the poisoned sheep of which he had eaten with you at khaibar. The prophet said, "and I do not think about my illness except that. This is the time when it cut off my aorta.
*
Sahih al-bukhari 4428: The Prophet in his ailment in which he died, used to say, "O Aishah! I still feel the pain caused by the food I ate at the Khaibar, and at this time, I feel as if my aorta is being cut from that poison

To give you some history on the Surah 69:44-46 it was one of Muhammad’s earliest recitations and would have been well known before Muhammad finally died by his aorta being cut. I can’t help but recognize the irony.
 
I have focused much on the aorta of Muhammad being cut because it’s quite compelling, but we’re going to look even closer and I’m going to bold a different section so you know what to look for:

Sahih al-bukhari 4428: The Prophet in his ailment in which he died, used to say, "O Aishah!* I still feel the pain caused by the food** I ate at the Khaibar, and at this time, I feel as if my aorta is being cut from that poison

Sunan abu dawud 4498 Muhammad then said about** the pain which he died:** “I continued to feel pain from the morsel which I had eaten at Khalbar. This is the time when it has cut off my aorta.”
*

Now that we’re focused on the pain that the it caused Muhammad up until his death and not on the cutting of his aorta I want to direct your attention to the following Hadith:
Sahih muslim 5430: A Jewess came to Allah’s messenger with poisoned mutton and he took of what had been brought to him. When the effects of this poison were felt by him he called for her and asked her about that, whereupon she said: I had determined to kill you. Thereupon he said: Allah will never give you the power to do it.

Notice how Muhammad’s immediate pain and eventual death was caused by his aorta being cut from what the woman gave to Muhammad, and yet he stated that Allah will never give her the power to do such a thing. Obviously, Muhammad was wrong.

Ibn sa’d, p 252: The Apostle of Allah sent for zaynab bint al-harith (the poisoner) and said to her, “what induced you to do what you have done?” She replied, "you have done to my people what you have done. You have killed my father, my uncle, and my husband, so I said to myself: If you are a prophet, the foreleg will inform you; and others have said: if you are a king, we will get rid of you.

According to Muhammad, the foreleg did inform him; however it was too late. His friend had already died from it and Muhammad suffered the rest of his life from it.
Moving on from this, it is important to note that many Muslims argue that God would never put his Prophet Jesus through the torture that Christians believe He went through. Let’s see what Aisha said about Muhammad:

Sunan ibn majah 1622: Aisha said: “I never saw anyone suffer more pain than the messenger of Allah.”

God felt the need to rescue Jesus, but not Muhammad from the worst pain Aisha (his wife) had ever seen anyone see.

Sahih al-bukhari 2588: Aisha said, "when the prophet became sick and his condition became serious, he requested his wives to allow him to be treated in my house, and they allowed him. He came out leaning on two men while his feet were dragging on the ground.
 
Disciples:
The claims about the Disciples in the Qur’an are compelling because like the crucifixion; history must be overlooked to believe what the Qur’an says:

*Surah 3:52 but when Jesus felt persistence in disbelief from them he said, “who are my supporters for the cause of Allah?” The disciples said, "we are supporters for Allah. We have believed in Allah and testify that we are Muslims.

Surah 5:111 And remember when I inspired to the disciples, “believe in me and my messenger Jesus.” They said, “we have believed, so bear witness that indeed we are Muslims.”*

It would be convenient for Muslims if somewhere throughout history we could find examples of people calling themselves, “Muslims.” Muslim simply means, “one who submits” and the Disciples clearly label themselves here as, “Muslims.” The phrase as a generalization for all who submit to God is foreign to history, but it doesn’t end there:
*
Surah 61:14 O you who have believed, be supporters of Allah, as when Jesus, the son of Mary said to the disciples, “Who are my supporters for Allah?” The disciples said, “We are supporters of Allah.” And a faction of the children of Israel believed and a faction disbelieved. So we supported those who believed against their enemy, and they became dominant.
*
Nowhere in history is there evidence of a faction of Muslims becoming dominant in Israel. In fact, Christianity became dominant. I have troubles comprehending Surah 61:14 because it is completely inaccurate. A more accurate statement would have been (if Islam were true) that the enemy became dominant. If Jesus taught His Disciples to be Muslims, then the Disciples failed in their mission; except not according to the Qur’an.

Fighting:
There are some parts of the Qur’an that can be taken out of context so I will do my best not to make such a mistake. An example of this would be Surah 9:5

But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

This was discussing a treaty that was broken, and what Muslims were to do after the treaty had been broken. However, not every passage about fighting is taken out of context. Let’s look at Surah 9:29

Qur’an 9:29 Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the last day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and his messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of truth, from among the people of the book, until they pay the jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

There is no historical context to this passage. Muslims are commanded in this verse to fight us until we pay the Jizyah with willing submission and feel ourselves subdued. I’m not adding or taking away, I’m simply quoting what the rule is. Sharia law is perfect, and this is a part of Sharia; if Muslims could force us to pay the Jizyah with willing submission then they would only be carrying out what they’re ordered to do.

*Sahih al-bukhari commentary states: Muhammed said, “I have been ordered to fight the people till they say “none has the right to be worshipped but Allah” and whoever say it, Allah will save his property and his life from me”
*
Sahih muslim 30: Muhammed said “I have been commanded to fight against people so long as they do not declare that there is no god but Allah.”

*Qur’an 48:29 Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah ; and those with him are forceful against the disbelievers, merciful among themselves.
*

*Bukhari 84:57 “whoever changed his islamic religion, then kill him” (Muhammad’s words)

Sahih muslim 4366: “I will expel the jews and christians from the arabian peninsula and will not leave any but muslims.”*

Now, there are plenty of websites in existence that can quote passage after passage out of context or in context and that’s not the point of this so I want to explain the following passages:

*Sahih bukhari volume 4 book 52 number 176: Allah’s apostle said "you muslims will fight with the jews till some of them will hide behind stones. The stones will betray them saying, "oh slave of allah! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him."

Sahih Muslim 6985the last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him”*

It is true that Muslims do believe this will happen one day. One day there will be Jew’s hiding behind rocks and trees and the object will speak out and command the Muslim to kill the Jew. If you’re a Muslim then you must believe this, killing the Jews is inevitable.
 
Plagiarism:
I have searched for a solid answer on the blatant plagiarism found in the Qur’an. The Qur’an has a habit of retelling stories in its own way. Some examples of this would be Adam and Eve, Abrahams sacrifice (although some believe it was Ishmael. The Qur’an doesn’t explicitly say), Noah and his ark, Jesus and a cross, etc. So one would expect that some other stories not found in the Bible or the Torah might have made it into the Qur’an, and you would be correct.

*Qur’an 19:22-26Then she conceived him; and withdrew with him to a remote place. ‏And the throes of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm-tree. She said: Oh, would that I had died before this, and had been a thing quite forgotten! ‏So a voice came to her from beneath her: Grieve not, surely thy Lord has provided a stream beneath thee. ‏ And shake towards thee the trunk of the palm-tree, it will drop on thee fresh ripe dates. ‏So eat and drink and cool the eye. Then if thou seest any mortal, say: Surely I have vowed a fast to the Beneficent, so I will not speak to any man to-day.
*
Compare this to:

Psuedo-matthew gospel. Written 4th century: And it came to pass on the third day of their journey, while they were walking, that the blessed Mary was fatigued by the excessive heat of the sun in the desert; and seeing a palm tree, she said to Joseph: Let me rest a little under the shade of this tree. Joseph therefore made haste, and led her to the palm, and made her come down from her beast. And as the blessed Mary was sitting there, she looked up to the foliage of the palm, and saw it full of fruit, and said to Joseph: I wish it were possible to get some of the fruit of this palm. And Joseph said to her: I wonder that thou sayest this, when thou seest how high the palm tree is; and that thou thinkest of eating of its fruit. I am thinking more of the want of water, because the skins are now empty, and we have none wherewith to refresh ourselves and our cattle. Then the child Jesus, with a joyful countenance, reposing in the bosom of His mother, said to the palm: O tree, bend thy branches, and refresh my mother with thy fruit. And immediately at these words the palm bent its top down to the very feet of the blessed Mary; and they gathered from it fruit, with which they were all refreshed. And after they had gathered all its fruit, it remained bent down, waiting the order to rise from Him who bad commanded it to stoop. Then Jesus said to it: Raise thyself, O palm tree, and be strong, and be the companion of my trees, which are in the paradise of my Father; and open from thy roots a vein of water which has been hid in the earth, and let the waters flow, so that we may be satisfied from thee. And it rose up immediately, and at its root there began to come forth a spring of water exceedingly clear and cool and sparkling. And when they saw the spring of water, they rejoiced with great joy, and were satisfied, themselves and all their cattle and their beasts. Wherefore they gave thanks to God.”

Here we have an almost identical story of Jesus with Mary under a Palm tree, not feeling well and being fed by a talking baby Jesus. This was clearly taken from the Pseudo-Matthew Gospel that was written over 300 years after the death of Jesus. Think about it; a story found in a book that has never been accepted made its way into a book that predates humanity! How in the world is this possible?

*Qur’an 5:110When Allah will say: O Jesus, son of Mary, remember My favour to thee and to thy mother, when I strengthened thee with the Holy Spirit; thou spokest to people in the cradle and in old age, and when I taught thee the Book and the Wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel, and when thou didst determine out of clay a thing like the form of a bird by My permission, then thou didst breathe into it and it became a bird by My permission; and thou didst heal the blind and the leprous by My permission; and when thou didst raise the dead by My permission; and when I withheld the Children of Israel from thee when thou camest to them with clear arguments – but those of them who disbelieved said: This is nothing but clear enchantment.

Qur’an 3:49 And (make him) a messenger to the Children of Israel (saying): I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, that I determine for you out of** dust the form of a bird**, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird with Allah’s permission, and I heal the blind and the leprous, and bring the dead to life with Allah’s permission;
*

In the 2nd century Christians could not understand why there wasn’t more about Jesus’s childhood in any of the writings; and thus we have the Infancy Gospel of Thomas:

*Infancy gospel of thomas. 2nd century But a certain Jew seeing the things which he was doing, namely, his forming clay into the figures of sparrows on the Sabbath day, went presently away and told his father Joseph, 6. Behold, your boy is playing by the river side, and has taken clay and formed it into twelve sparrows, and profanes the Sabbath. 7. Then Joseph came to the place where he was, and when he saw him, called to him, and said, Why do you that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day? 8. Then Jesus clapping together the palms of his hands, called to the sparrows, and said to them: Go, fly away; and while you live remember me. 9. So the sparrows fled away, making a noise. *

There are more accounts of parallels between old folk stories and false Gospels appearing in the Qur’an, but those two are my favorite. I’ve looked for counter arguments from Muslims and the only one that appears is that Christianity has some similarities to paganism. Unfortunately in Islam the stories in non-canonical Gospels and the Qur’an have the same characters and are incredibly similar. Especially again, considering the Qur’an predates everything.
 
Taqiyya:
*Qur’an 3:28 let not the believers take disbelievers for their friends in preference to believers. Whoso doeth that hath no connection with Allah unless it be that ye but guard yourselves against then, taking as it were security.

Ibn kathir comments: “in this case, such believers are allowed to show friendship outwardly but never inwardly.”*

The famous commentator hit it nail on. Muslims are not supposed to be friends with non-Muslims according to Surah 3:28. They are rather to be friends with other Muslims unless it is to protect themselves.

*Abu Darda (Muhammeds companion) says: “we smile in the face of some people although our hearts curse them.”
*

The Bible:

The Bible is called, “The Injil” in Islam. Prior to the advance of technology, Muslims believed that Christians had corrupted the Gospel sometime after Muhammad. The very first person to claim the Bible’s corruption was a man named, “Ibn-Khazem” in the year 1064, he is stated as follows:
*
Since the Qur’an must be true, it must be the conflicting Gospel texts that are false. But Muhammad tells us to respect the Gospel. Therefore, the present text must have been falsified by the Christians** after the time of Muhammad.***

Notice here, that Ibn-Khazem states the Bible was corrupted after the time of Muhammad; not before. This is because Muhammad really did believe that the Gospel was revealed by Jesus and would attest to Islam:

*Surah 3:3 it is he who sent down to thee, step by step, in truth, the book, confirming what went before it; and he sent down the law of Moses and the Gospel of Jesus before this, as a guide to mankind, and he sent down the criterion of judgment between right and wrong.

Surah 10:34 If thou wert in doubt as to what we have revealed unto thee, then ask those who have been reading the book from before thee: the truth hath indeed come to thee from thy Lord: so be in no wise of those in doubt. (That was Allah speaking to Mohammed)

Surah 5:46-47 And we sent, following in their footsteps, Jesus, the son of Mary, confirming that which came before him in the Torah; and we gave him the Gospel, in which was guidance and light and confirming that which preceded it of the Torah as guidance and instruction for the righteous. And let the people of the Gospel judge by what Allah has revealed therein. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the defiantly disobedient*

Why is it that Allah wants Muslims to read a later, corrupt text? We know now that the Bible is in fact the same in the year 650 as it is now. So why does Allah Muslims to read it so bad?

Surah 5:50let the people of the Gospel judge by what Allah has revealed therein

We certainly do, and there’s nothing that would make us want to be Muslims in it.
 
Women:
Fighting in Islam and women are probably the most controversial discussions. There is no taking the following passages out of context:

*Qur’an 4:34 Men are in charge of women by right of what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend for maintenance from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in the husbands absence what Allah would have them guard. But those wives from whom you fear arrogance - first advise them; then if they persist, forsake them in bed; and finally, strike them. But if they obey you once more, seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever exalted and grand.
*

It’s important that any apologist knows this passage in the Qur’an. It’s a divine law that one must strike their wife if they continue in disobedience. Some translations try to tone it down and say, “Strike them [lightly]” but all that does is prove how such a law cannot work in the West, so it needs to be watered down.
*
Sahih bukhari, book 6: menstrual periods, volume 1 book 6 number 301: "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority ofB] dwellers in hell fire were you women. *They asked, “why is it so allah’s apostle” He replied, “you curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you.” The women asked, “O allah’s apostle! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?” He said, “is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?” (They replied in the affirmative)

Here is where the belief that women are less intelligent than men in Islam. Of course this has been disproven as being a male or a female does not increase or decrease ones intelligence, rather a man can be smarter than a woman and a woman can be smarter than a man.

*Sahih Al-Bukhari 4879 - Allah’s apostle said: “in paradise there is a pavillion made of a single hollow pearl sixty miles wide, in each corner of which there are wives who will not see those in the other corners; and believers will visit and enjoy them.”
*
The following passage is on how some women will be taken out of Hell as sex slaves:

Sunan ibn majah 4337 - it was narrated from abu umamah that the messenger of Allah said, "there is no one whom Allah will admit to paradise but Allah will marry him to seventy two wives, two from houris and seventy from his* inheritance from the people of hell**, all of whom will have desirable front passages and he will have a male member that never becomes limp." Hisham bin khalid said, “from his inheritance from the people of Hell” means "men who enter hell, and the people of paradise will inherit their wives.*

Essentially, if your wife is beautiful enough, there’s a chance she will be taken out of Hell and given to a Muslim man in Heaven.

Worst of creatures:

I want to conclude with this passage…
Qur’an 98:6 verily, those who disbelieve in the religion of islam, the qur’an and the prophet muhammad from among the people of the scripture (jews and christians) and al-mushrikun will abide in the fire of hell. They are the worst of creatures.
 
DRonald–thanks for putting these materials together and posting them on CAF. Islam is definitely a demonic deception, in my view, and Christians must pray for and evangelize Muslims like there’s no tomorrow, because one and a half billion souls are entangled in Muhammad’s heresy.

One quick comment: you seem to have left out section (3), “Authenticity of the Qur’an”, from your posts.

And one quick recommendation: these “Questions to Muslims”–a couple of which I was surprised to see you not raise.

Muslims say that Christian teachings/scripture had been corrupted. So if Christians are arguing whether Jesus actually exists in the bread and wine, then how can Christians be so sure that Jesus is God?

Thank you for bringing that to my attention, I completely missed it when i was copying and pasting. Here it is!:

Authenticity:
It is important when discussing anything with a Muslim that one remembers the Qur’an has always existed. The Qur’an is considered God’s word, and God’s word has always existed; therefore the Qur’an is perfect, has not been corrupted and predates mankind.

*Ibn Umar al-khattab states in suyuti’itqan part 3 page 72: “Let no one of you say that he has acquired the entire Qur’an for how does he know that is all? Much of the Qur’an has been lost, thus let him say, ‘I have acquired of it what is availible.’”
*
Where did Ibn Umar al-khattab get this statement from? Well, it’s the theological truth in Islam:

Sahih al-muslim 2286: "We used to recite a surah which resembled in length and severity to (surah) bara’at.* I have, however, forgotten it *with the exception of this which I remember out of it: ‘if there are two valleys full of riches, for the son of adam, he would long for a third valley, and nothing would fill the stomach of the son of adam but dust,’ and we used to recite a surah which resembled one of the surahs of musabbihat, and I have forgotten it.

As you can see, some of the verses that were relayed to Muhammad and then relayed to his followers did not make it into the Qur’an. This is proof that the Qur’an has not been preserved perfectly, straight from the Hadith.

Sunan ibn majah 1944: "it was narrated that Aishah said, "the verse of stoning and of breastfeeding an adult ten times was revealed, and the paper was under my pillow. When the messenger of Allah died, we were preoccupied with his death, and a* tame sheep came and ate it."***

Again, in this passage here we see that a sheep came and ate a page on the Qur’an and it was ultimately lost.

Ibn abi daud, kitab al-masahif: "Umar was once looking for the text of a specific verse of the qur’an he vaguely remembered. To his deep sorrow, he discovered that the only person who had any record of that verse had been killed in the battle of yamama and that the verse was consequently lost."
 
MartinJordan said:
It was from answering-islam.org I learned many things about Islamic beliefs. The only issue for me is that whether answering-islam.org accept that from the beginnings of Christianity, there is the belief of the Real Presence.

This fact is important when dealing with Muslims.

No. Answering-Islam.org is an almost-entirely Protestant site composed of Reformed and Evangelical contributors. I was shocked to discover that the team actually has one occasional writer, Masud Masihiyyen, who is a convert from Islam to Orthodoxy.

The irony of the whole thing, “then would certainly have cut off his aorta.” Is not something that should be taken literally because it is an Arabic idiom meaning “to take his life.” It kind of like when we say, do you want to got to the movies tonight? And you reply, I don’t know I’ll have to play it by ear.

No one plays anything by their ears. It just means I have to see what I have going on, if I have time I’ll go.

So when Prophet Muhammad said , “This is the time when it has cut off my aorta.” Means, “This is the time of my death.”

It has nothing to do with having his literal aorta cut.

The fact that it was an early revelation and he died at an old age is an indication that God supported him.

So this argument of yours will convince only the ignorant, not those who know Islam…

God can retell any story He likes. To me it kind of a baseless argument with no substance. “God told the same story twice, shame on him.” That is what it sounds like.

Odd then how Muhammad contradicts himself is this is the case:
*
Sunan abu dawud 4498 Muhammad then said about the pain which he died: “I continued to feel pain from the morsel which I had eaten at Khalbar. This is the time when it has cut off my aorta.”* (or this is the time of my death)

Contrast that with

Sahih muslim 5430: A Jewess came to Allah’s messenger with poisoned mutton and he took of what had been brought to him. When the effects of this poison were felt by him he called for her and asked her about that, whereupon she said:** I had determined to kill you. **Thereupon he said: Allah will never give you the power to do it.
TheSufi said:

But God didn’t tell the story the first time. It was told by Christians trying to fill in the blanks of Jesus’s early life and was never accepted as a true story but rather two extremely late stories.

We have evidence that these stories were written well after Jesus’s death and yet Muslims only accept them because they appear in the Qur’an. This was a blatant error by Muhammad. He didn’t know any better and now the stories appear in the Qur’an you read today.
