An anachronism can be defined as the representation of an event, person, or thing in a historical context in which it could not have occurred or existed.
If we, for example, saw a movie about ancient Rome in which the emperor took a call on his mobile phone that would be anachronistic! Continue reading

Allah commands the following when it comes to keeping the fast during Ramadan:
“…eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread [of night]. Then complete the fast until the sunset.” (Qur’an 2:187) Continue reading
Allah was fairly liberal when he bestowed the title of ‘the first Muslim’.
He tells a host of people that they are the first Muslims! Each of these instances obviously contradicts the others.

Most people are aware that Muslims are not supposed to drink alcohol and, on the face of it, the case seems open and shut
Qur’an 5:90 says: “O you who believe! Strong drink and games of chance and idols and divine arrows are only an infamy of Satan’s handiwork. Leave it aside that you may succeed.”

The Qur’an contains traces of the Biblical story of the exodus.
Only in this case, it seems that Pharaoh survived to tell the tale of pursuing the Israelites into the Red Sea.
Only in this case, it seems that Pharaoh survived to tell the tale of pursuing the Israelites into the Red Sea.
Allah tells Pharaoh: “This day shall We save thee in the body, that thou mayest be a sign to those who come after thee! but verily, many among mankind are heedless of Our Signs!” (Qur’an 10:92)
This is directly contradicted by Qur’an 17:103 where Allah provides us with a completely different take on events. After taking the Pharaoh to task for his wickedness, the following judgment is passed: “So he resolved to remove them from the face of the earth: but
We did drown him and all who were with him.”
However the Qur’an does not predict the Pharaoh’s body being preserved and discovered (in 1898) thereby proving a miracle and giving the Qur’an credibility. Scholars are in disagreement over the exact identity of the Pharaoh of the Exodus. Also, this story of the Pharaoh is not a new revelation since it appears in both the bible and the Talmud, centuries before the Qur’an was ever compiled.
On top of that their are many other stories that coincidentally written earlier than actually it’s happened neither this is proof of truthiness of prophesy claim for example: 6 Coincidences You Won’t Believe Actually Happened
Qur’an 2:62 seems to leave open the possibility that those who believe in God (without subscribing to Islam) will be rewarded by Allah: “Verily! Those who believe and those who are Jews and Christians, and Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day and do righteous good deeds shall have their reward with their Lord, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.” This is, however, flatly contradicted by Qur’an 3:85 “If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who have lost (All spiritual good).”
The Qur’an contains many exhortations to be kind to your parents.
For example: “Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that ye be kind to parents. Continue reading
There are two verses in the Qur’an that clearly state that Noah and his family survived the flood.
In this section, we will continue to apply this test that the Qur’an sets for itself by analyzing some verses that deal with judgment and punishment.
“Do they not consider the Qur’an (with care)? Had it been from other than Allah, they would surely have found therein much discrepancy.” (Qur’an 4:82) Continue reading
