Tangible, Perceivable
and Conclusive Proof

(That one can ask any question one wishes
in order to obtain the answer one desires.... Why?)

Take this little test.

1. Invite 10 Muslims who say,

"I am a Muslim and I have read the Qur'an."

(First off, you'll have a hard time finding 10 Muslims who have
read the Qur'an in Arabic, for the vast majority of Muslims in the
U.S. are not Arabic speaking Muslims and have a cursory knowledge
of Arabic at best. Secondly, it is important to have read the Qur'an
in Arabic for THAT IS the Qur'an. Any translation is only the
interpretation or meaning of the Qur'an, but not the Qur'an itself.)

Ask these Muslims just one question:

"What is a Muslim according to the Qur'an?"

Please note how many dissimilar answers you may receive -

An Ahmadiyya

A Kharijite

A Murji'a

A Mu'tazilite

A Shi'a

A Sunni

A Qadariyya

A Wahabiyya

One who makes Shahadah only

One who makes Shahadah and believes in the sunna

One who makes Shahadah, believes in the sunna, and is faithful to it

In fact, there are too many sects to enumerate.

Even Muhammad suggested the same thing when he said:

"There will befall my Ummah exactly (all those) evils which befell the people of Isra'il, so much so that if there was one amongst them who openly committed fornication with his mother there will be among my Ummah one who will do that, and if the people of Isra'il were fragmented into seventy-two sects my Ummah will be fragmented into seventy-three sects. All of them will be in Hell Fire except one sect." They (the Companions) said: "Allah's Messenger, which is that?" Whereupon he said: "It is one to which I and my companions belong."

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 171 Narrated by Abdullah ibn Amr

2. Invite 100 people who say,

"I am a Christian and have read the Bible."

Ask them the following question:

"What is a Muslim according to the Qur'an?"

Please note how many dissimilar beliefs you may obtain -

"I don't know."

"I'm not sure."

"Gee. That's a tough one."

"Well, I've never thought about it."

Essentially, these are all the same.

IF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF DISSIMILAR BELIEFS,
PERCEIVED & UNDERSTOOD FROM THE QUR'AN,
BY 10 MUSLIMS

DOES EXCEED THAT OF

SELF CONTRADICTIONS WITHIN A DIVINE SCRIPTURE !!!

MUSLIMS HAVE ONLY ONE BELIEF ? ! ?
