Assalamualaikum. My name is Muhammad, I am a Malaysian just like my Muslim parents. Since I was in primary school again, my parents have sent me to study the Quran. I had already recited the Quran while I was in primary school.
Both of my parents are devout Muslims. Under their influence, I have deepened my knowledge of Islam until I was 17 years old. At that age, my Islamic knowledge can be considered strong enough for a knowledgeable Muslim.
However, because of the training I have experienced, and my background I like to seek knowledge from the appropriate sources. I always ask and question anything that catches my attention or captures the interest of my mind, including religious and Islamic matters. For that reason, I have owned many scholarly books, mostly in English.
Due to my inquisitive attitude and researching everything that developed my mind, I have also addressed quite a few questions about Islam itself. While I was in the state of Penang, my interest in finding answers to my questions increased. I have associated with Muslim intellectuals who have the same scientific interests as me. It was there that I met and associated with the Islamic group "Anti-Hadith" and they have helped me a lot to understand and reject the awkwardness and falsehood that exists in the teachings and Sunnah of Islam.
In particular, I have had many doubts about the teachings that were pioneered as well as the instructions organized in the Books of Hadith, including the collection of Hadiths called 'Authentic'. Although Muslims call these collections 'Sahih' [authentic: said of a hadith that has been preserved and transmitted accurately] so to speak, I was very disappointed when I delved into my study in the field! After reading and studying the teachings contained in the Hadith as well as the Muslim writings about it, the less sensible I found their teachings. I will give some examples of the Hadith.
Some examples of doubts in the Sahih Hadiths of Islam are as follows.
1) Camel urine is a medicine for human diseases, and can be used as medicine!
- Authentic Hadith Bukhari Volume ( Volume ) 7 number 590
- Authentic Muslim hadith volume 3, number 4130.
This is a very awkward Islamic advice and teachings. Where is the scientific and health evidence that camel urine has really been effective and useful as a cure?
2) Satan and the devil sleep or stay in the nostrils of man
- Hadith Bukhari volume 4, number 516
- Muslim Hadith volume 1, number 462.
3) Black dogs are devils and demons and they should be killed, and supposedly they also try to cancel the prayers of Muslims!
- Muslim Hadith volume 1, number 1032
- Muslim Hadith volume 3, number 3809-3829.
Unreasonable discrimination against black dogs! After all, his teaching that black dogs are devils/demons, is untrue and is nonsense at all!
4) The left wing is a poisonous fly, and the right wing has a cure!
- Hadith Bukhari volume 7, number 673.
This hadith is quite frankly very awkward and absurd. Moreover, directly contrary to scientific truth and facts!
5) Eating Garlic is forbidden for Muslims, and they cannot enter the mosque if Muslims have eaten garlic!
- Hadith Bukhari volume 5, no. 526
- Hadith Bukhari volume 1, no.812, 813.
What is wrong with Garlic, even though it has been scientifically proven to have many health benefits.
6) Most of the inmates and members of hell are female souls!
- Hadith Bukhari volumes 8, 456, 544.
Why discriminate against women in such an unreasonable way?
7) Do not urinate or urinate into holes/cavities in the ground. The holes are supposed to be the abode of certain genies!
- Sunan Abu Daud Volume 1 (Clause 16), Number 29.
Cavities and holes in the ground are the most practical and common way around the world to dispose of water. There is no report from any place in the world where humans have ever seen a genie come out of any of those holes! This is another nonsense pioneered by authentic Hadith.
You can also read about the awkwardness of the Authentic Hadiths in Islam from the link below:
All kinds of weirdness!
In fact, my Muslim friends found that the instructions and recommendations of the Hadith as above, are all in line with superstitions that have been made an obligation for Muslims to comply, willingly or unwillingly, forcibly! Understand, all these Hadiths were completely rejected by the Islamic Anti-Hadith group!
As a result of the worries and doubts about the 'Sahih' Hadiths, I have become increasingly disappointed with the religion of Islam which I have been following since I was quite young!
Apart from that, I have also gone abroad to further my education. In foreign countries, I have met and mingled with Islamic scholars as well as pious Islamic scholars. I was also very interested in talking to them, especially about religious matters.
They have surprised me again when among them there are also scholars who question the authentic Hadiths and the authority of the Hadith is exhausted! Not only that, but there are scholars, intellectuals and Islamic figures from among them who question the Qur'an and the authenticity of its contents! For them, there are also quite a lot of anomalies and contradictions and historical falsities in the Qur'an so that it becomes a suspicion and a big question mark to the authority of the book!
Below we provide links to some scholarly papers that present problems and questions as well as suspicions and doubts about the book of Muslims - the Quran! There is also the suspicions that have been brought up by the figures and the ISLAMIC SCIENTISTS themselves!
Problems and Conflicts in the Quran
The Lost Mushafs [Arabic word for a codex or collection of sheets, but also refers to a written copy of the Quran.]
The Pure Attributes of God's Word
"Science" of the Quran ... Dan
Surah 30 ar-Rum- A Reassessment
After wrestling long enough intellectually and spiritually with my suspicions and doubts about the content of the Qur'an, I have already analyzed in more depth about the contradictions in it. My suspicions of the Book of the Qur'an became increasingly a stumbling block to me; as a result of the contradictions and errors of the historical facts that are clearly found in the Qur'an. Although I have deepened my research by studying the works of orthodox Islamic figures and poets. Finally, I was disappointed to confirm the truth of the Qur'an, as a result of this disappointment I began to study the Bible (Al-Kitab) of the people of Sayidina Isa Al-Masih that is, Christians.
I have obtained a Al-Kitab / Bible and researched it in-depth and from its beginning to the end of its clauses. Although in the Quran there are more than 100 references to Sayidina Isa AM. They are not as complete as His narration as found in the Holy Bible! So, I have started researching the Life Story and narration of Sayidina Isa Al-Masih with a new attitude as well as with 'glasses' that are not tainted by my previous prejudices and misinterpretations of Islam! My brother, I recommend you - ignore your prejudices and your negative attitudes towards the Bible and the teachings of Christians. Understandably, the Qur'an itself has instructed Muslims from Surah 10 Yunus 94 as follows:
"If you (Muhammad) are suspicious of what We (the Lord God) sent down, ask those who read the Book before you (ie Christians and Jews). Indeed, the truth has come to you from your Lord .."
Obviously, the Qur'an itself does NOT accuse Christians of 'modifying' their books, but, instead, advises the Prophet Muhammad (Muslims) to refer to Christians who have had their Bibles earlier than Muslims! Indeed, the Quran once again advises Christians and Jews from Surah al-Maidah 5 verse 68:
"O People of the Book, you are not on a TRUTH unless you follow the Book of REPENTANCE and the GOSPEL and whatever is revealed to you from your Lord .."
Allah Himself has said about the coming of the Qur'an and its relationship to the Books earlier than it, from Surah Ali Imran 3 verse 3, as follows:
"He [God] revealed the Quran to thee, O Muhammad, to the truth, and ALLOW the scriptures before, and He sent down the TORAH and GOSPEL .."
When I opened the Bible and began to study it, I was overwhelmed and a feeling of comfort and well-being began to strike me! My study of the Bible was so delicious and fun! As I read the contents, I came across beautiful verses as follows:
"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled."
The Bible, Matthew 5: 5 - 6
"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."
The Bible, Matthew 5: 7 - 8
Such was the beautiful words and sayings of Sayidina Isa when He taught His disciples and His other followers while on this Earth more than 2,000 Years ago! Apart from that, I also read the words of Sayidina Isa Al-Masih explaining about Himself in the Gospel as follows:
"You do not believe when I [Sayidina Isa Al-Masih] spoke to you about earthly things, how would you believe, if I spoke to you about heavenly things?
"No one has ascended to heaven, except He who has descended from HEAVEN, THAT IS THE SON OF MAN [SAYIDINA ISA SENDIRI]."
The Bible, John 3: 12-13
On the issue of "Bread of Life ', Sayidina Isa said as follows:
'And Jesus said to them: "I tell you the truth, not sayidina Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven ..
" Because the bread of God IS THE BREAD THAT DOWN FROM HEAVEN and give life to the world. "So they said to the King: 'Sir, give us the bread always.'
Jesus Christ answered them, "I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE, AND EVERYONE WHO COMES TO ME HE WILL NEVER BE HUNGRY AGAIN, AND EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IN ME, WILL NEVER THIRST again. All that the Father has given Me will come to Me and whoever comes to Me, I will not cast him out. "
"Because I HAVE COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN To do the will of Allah. And THIS is the will of GOD: - That is, EVERYONE WHO SEES ME, AND BELIEVES IN ME, HAS ETERNAL LIFE, and so that I RAISE HIM AT THE END OF TIME."
"I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE ... THAT COMES FROM HEAVEN: EVERYONE WHO EATS ME, HE WILL NEVER DIE,
"I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE THAT HAS COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, If a person eats from this Bread, HE WILL LIVE FOREVER ..! "
The Gospels, John 6: 32-40
It is very clear and obvious to me, who is Sayidina Isa Al-Masih! He is the Word of God - " LOGOS " - John 1: 1 and "Kalimatullah" the living, who have descended to this world to preach the Good News of God Almighty to us! This is also true of the text of the Qur'an; Surah Ali-Imran 3 verse 45 ..:
"Allah has comforted Mary about the Sentence from Him ( Kalimatullah ), His name is Al-Masih Isa Putera Maryam. Who has greatness in this World and in the Hereafter and includes those who are closest to Allah."
Surah 3/45
Today, I and my whole family have embraced and followed the teachings and messengers of the true Sayidina Rabbani Isa Al-Masih with one heart and soul. We know AND surely our future is in the realm of Heaven and Jannah together with Allah the Most Merciful and Compassionate! Because His Own Word has come down - Nuzul [Revelation] and become that perfect and true 'Son of Man'. He has been doing this event, more than 2,000 years ago that all His creations were very dear to Him, can know and experience the Love and Mercy of God personally!
My dear brother of Sayidina Isa Al-Masih, I invite you to study the messenger and Risalah brought by Sayidina Isa as shown in the Bible - with a mind free from your prejudices and prejudices as a Muslim. God Himself will grant your sincere search with a reward that man himself can not give - that is eternal life by God Himself, forever!
May God bless you with His true knowledge and guidance! Hallelujah !! Alhamdulillah!
