"Don't they ponder over the Qur'an, had it been from anyone besides Allah, they would surely have found therein many contradictions" (Surah 4:82)
"The Qur'an has no contradictions—its verses align perfectly, a sign of its divine truth. Allah says, ‘Do they not reflect upon the Qur'an? If it had been from any other than Allah, they would have found within it much contradiction' (Surah An-Nisa, 4:82). For over 1,400 years, its words have stood consistent, clear, and unified, despite addressing law, history, and guidance, all in flawless Arabic.
Jesus (peace be upon him) received the Injeel—‘We gave him the Injeel, in which was guidance and light' (Surah Al-Ma'idah, 5:46)—but the Bible today, with its clashes like differing crucifixion accounts, shows human flaws. The Qur'an declares, ‘The Messiah, son of Mary, was no more than a messenger' (Surah Al-Ma'idah, 5:75). Its lack of contradictions proves it's Allah's word, restoring what Jesus taught—worship Allah alone—while corrupted texts falter."
Surah An-Nisa, 4:82
1. The Flaw of the "No Contradiction" Test
The absence of contradictions (Surah 4:82) is not proof of divinity.
2. Biblical Accounts Are Sound
The alleged "clashes" in the Bible (like crucifixion accounts) are not contradictions.
3. The Core Disagreement
Any debate must focus on the substance of the message.
So, if a truly divine test is merely whether a book manages to avoid conflicting statements, then perhaps we should all start worshipping the phone book. After all, those pages of names and numbers are remarkably contradiction-free, and that, apparently, is all the proof we need.
