[GJM] No Contradictions In Qura'an /Contradictions in The Bible

Wed May 28 23:31:12 MDT 2008

Dear Mary / Marguerite and all,

Greetings for peace,

Please see the reference to contradictions and several forms of inconsistencies  in the Bible mentioned in the Holy Qur'n, a collection of renewed message communited to Muhammad (PBUH) through Archangel Gabriel. 

This has been noted by sholars of Islam and the Holy Qur'an. Dear Mary, I called for reading of the Holy Qur'an throughly for this reason only. Recently, I received a book on this too from Alexandria.

Dear Mary..Muslims do not beleive that God/Allah as a father or a mother..a man or a woman...Please read more on this..rather than accepting anthromorphic representations of the same. Jesus and all were mere messengers only.... 

Mary, the mother of Jesus (peace be on her) is mentioned among the most honorable and pious woman as Allah. talked to her..Please recall Jesus talking in the cradle ..I have learnt all this from the Holy Qu'ran..the source of best knwoeldge..I read Bible as well and am learning more on the differences in the narrations. 

Please see www.witness-pioneer.org for more references on the Holy Qur'an. Internet makes it possible to have alook quickly. Please get rid of biases.
Making a wellinformed choice means learning thoroughly about the other.

Seeking guidance of Allah for communicating more correctly..with salam to all messengers

Dr.Muhammad Mukhtar Alam
