What If the Quran Is Wrong?

A Thought Experiment Muslims Fear to Take


πŸ“˜ Introduction

“This is the Book in which there is no doubt…”Quran 2:2

Islam doesn’t tolerate grey zones. The Quran is either:

  • Absolutely true, or

  • Completely false.

But real truth — doesn’t fear questions.

So let’s ask the one question that Muslims are trained never to ask:

What if the Quran is wrong?


πŸšͺ Thought Experiment Rules

Let’s suspend belief — just temporarily.
No apologetics. No “context.” No “you’re not a scholar.”
Just an honest thought experiment:

πŸ§ͺ “Assume the Quran is not from Allah. What would we expect to find?”


πŸ”Ž What Should a Divine Book Look Like?

If a book is from an all-knowing, all-powerful Creator, it should meet objective, universal standards. It should:

  • Be free from contradiction

  • Be morally flawless

  • Transcend time, place, and culture

  • Be scientifically accurate

  • Be historically verifiable

  • Be intellectually coherent

  • And crucially: adhere to the laws of logic and contain no logical fallacies

πŸ“Œ That means:

❌ No circular reasoning — e.g. “The Quran is true because it says so”
❌ No false dilemmas — e.g. “Either you’re a believer or arrogant”
❌ No special pleading — e.g. “You need to know Arabic”
❌ No affirming the consequent — e.g. “It’s beautiful, so it must be divine”
❌ No equivocation, vagueness, or ambiguity to mask contradictions

If a philosophy undergrad can spot the fallacies — it's not from an eternal Mind.


❌ 1. Contradictions Are Everywhere

“If it had been from other than Allah, you would have found many contradictions in it.” — Quran 4:82

And we do:

  • 6 vs. 8 days of creation

  • Jesus: died or not?

  • Pharaoh: drowned or saved?

  • Torah & Gospel: preserved or corrupted?

  • Free will vs. divine control

πŸ‘‰ By its own standard — the Quran is false.


❌ 2. Science? Dead on Arrival.

  • Semen from between ribs and backbone (86:6–7)

  • Sun sets in a muddy spring (18:86)

  • Stars are missiles to chase devils (67:5)

  • Embryology: “clot of blood”?

  • Earth spread out like a carpet (88:20)

These aren’t divine insights — they’re 7th-century superstitions.


❌ 3. Morality? Not Divine.

  • Child marriage modeled by Muhammad

  • Beating wives allowed (4:34)

  • Slavery and concubinage permitted

  • Death for apostasy and blasphemy

  • Eternal Hell for finite disbelief

A divine moral system should surpass tribal ethics — not replicate them.


❌ 4. History? Full of Errors.

  • Mary (mother of Jesus) confused with Miriam (sister of Aaron)

  • No external evidence of Mecca’s religious status pre-Islam

  • Quran borrows from Gnostic gospels, Jewish folklore, and apocrypha

  • Earliest Qurans show corrections, not perfection

  • Hadiths admit verses lost, eaten, forgotten, or abrogated


❌ 5. The Author Looks Human

  • Convenient revelations to justify Muhammad’s desires (33:37, 66:1)

  • No real prophecies or verifiable miracles

  • Frequent use of threats over reason: “Believe or burn”

  • Language full of pride, vengeance, and conditional mercy

  • Personal grievances (e.g., against Abu Lahab) included in the “eternal word of God”?

πŸ“Œ These are human fingerprints — not divine ones.


🧠 The Risk of Asking

Muslims are told that even questioning the Quran is dangerous.
Because if the Quran isn’t from Allah… then:

  • Muhammad isn’t a prophet

  • Sharia isn’t divine

  • Islam isn’t true

  • And everything changes

But fear of the answer is not the same as truth.


πŸ”“ What If It Is Wrong?

Then:

  • Billions are trapped in an illusion

  • Truth is being censored, not discovered

  • Apostates aren’t “rebels” — they’re honest thinkers

  • And you have the right to question — without guilt, shame, or fear


✅ Final Word

This isn’t hate. This is courage.

“If it’s true, it will survive your questions.
If it’s false, it deserves them.”

So ask the forbidden question:

What if the Quran is wrong?

Because if it is —
Everything you were told to never doubt… finally makes sense.
