Abrogation in the Qur’an

the Quran is perfect and harbours no contradictions (11:1) and also that the words of God are
unchangeable (10:64).

[Quran 4:82] Why do they not study the Quran carefully? If it were from a source other than God, they
would have detected within it numerous contradictions.

This verse confirms that anything that contains contradictions cannot be from God, and since the hadith
contains numerous contradictions, as shown, it cannot be from God. But the hadith advocates claim that
the hadith was inspired by God and that the hadith Al-Qudsy is God’s own words spoken to Muhammad!
If that is so, how could they explain the contradictions in hadith? How could it be from God when it is
full of contradictions? According to 4:82 nothing that contains contradictions can be from God.

CASE TWO:

Abrogated

[Quran 2:62] Surely those who believe, and the Jews, and the Christians and the Sabaeans, those
among them who believe in God and the hereafter, and who works righteous deeds, will receive
their recompense from their Lord, they have nothing to fear nor will they grieve

Abrogator

[Quran 3:85] Whoever seeks other than Islam as his religion, it will not be accepted from him,
and in the hereafter he will be with the losers.

Here the claim is that while verse 2:62 says that some Jews and Christians will be rewarded, this
was abrogated by 3:85 which states that all who are not Muslim will end up in hell.

The misunderstanding and poor interpretation here stems from their lack of understanding of the
word Islam (Submission). In spite of the fact that God tells us in the Quran that Islam
(Submission to God Alone) is as old as Abraham who was the first Muslim (see 2:128, 2:131,
2:133) and who was the first to name us Muslims (22:78), still the Muslim scholars today insist
that Islam is confined to being the religion of the Quran !!!

By creating such a false statement, the Muslim scholars claim to be the custodians of the
message! In 3:67 God specifically tells us that Abraham was neither Jewish nor Christian, but a
monotheist Muslim. God also tells us in 5:111 that Jesus and the Disciples were Muslim. In
27:44 tells us that Solomon was Muslim and in 5:44 we are told of all the prophets who were
given the Torah and who were all Muslim.

What all these verses are confirming is that there are Muslims who followed the Torah and the
Bible and who knew nothing of the Quran. These Muslims were submitters to God Alone , Lord
of the universe.

In effect the religion of Islam which was originally founded by Abraham can be found, not only
in the Quran, but also in the Torah and the Bible. After all we are told that all the foundations of
the religion, and which Muslims call the pillars of Islam were first given to Abraham.

The Quran confirms the true meaning of a Muslim, as being he who submits to God Alone and
obeys the law of God Alone, and should not be confined to he who follows the Quran.

Those among the Christians who believe in the Oneness of God and who do not worship Jesus
are Muslim in the sight of God. Similarly those among any other religion who submit to God
Alone and who set up no idols to partner Almighty God are Muslim in the sight of God.

All these have their recompense from their Lord and have nothing to fear (2:62). These people
are also the subject of 3:85 since they chose to be Muslim (submitters) to God. They could be
Muslim submitters, Jewish submitters, Christian submitters …..etc.

Consequently, there is no contradiction between 2:62 and 3:85
