Point-by-Point Response
And Summary of My Rebuttal to Ali
Sina
Ali Sina listed out the points that he touched. He has listed about 39 points.
http://www.faithfreedom.org/debates/NaikCampbellp11.htm
I have written a thorough rebuttal to him. You can find it here.
http://www.answering-christianity.com/yahya_ahmed/dr_zakir_naik_rebuttal.htm
I am also writing point-by-point response to make things easier for the reader. Lets begin with the hypocrisy and double standards of Ali Sina.
Ali Sina Writes:
(Ali Sina) Since Dr. Naik presented 22 out of many errors of the Bible, let me present a short list of many errors of the Quran for him (or anyone) who cares to respond. All we need to prove that the Quran is not from God is one error while even hundreds of errors in the Bible do not necessarily disqualify it as a message of God.
My Response:
WOW ! Hilarious indeed
!! One error is sufficient to disqualify the Quran
but EVEN HUNDREDS don’t necessarily disqualify Bible from being the word of
God. This is turning out to be funny. Great hypocrisy !!
Praise the Bible a bit more so that answeringislam
team doesn’t despise you for copying from their site. (I’ll show you
later how he copies from answeringislam)
Ali Sina Writes:
My Response:
The sun and the moon both
revolve as well as rotate around their own axis. As
Dr.Zakir Naik explained.
“The
Arabic word used in the Qur’an is ‘Yasbahoon’, which describes the motion of a moving body.
When it refers to a celestial body, it means it is rotating about its own axis”
How
did Ali Sina conclude that they rotate and navigate
around the earth?? No where does the Quran say such a
thing. This means that they both rotate around their own axis as well as they
revolve.
It
indicates that both of them “rotate” as well as “revolve”.
The
word “Yasbahoon” is derived from the word “sabaha” which describes the motion of a moving body. If
its in water. It means “to swim” if it is on ground it means
“to walk/run” when it is talking about a celestial body it means “to rotate” or
“to revolve”.
Ali Sina Writes:
My Response:
Ali Sina only quoted 3 translations to show
it means “vast” but let’s read other
translations of the verse of the Quran 51:47
" With Our power and prowess, We
brought into being the universe. And indeed, We
expand it (steadily)!"
Muhammad Al-Hilali & Muhsin Khan:
"With power did We construct the
heaven. Verily, we are Able to extend the vastness of space
thereof."
Arberry:
" And heaven -- We built it with might, and We extend it
wide."
Khalifa:
"We constructed the sky with our hands, and we
will continue to expand it."
And if you read the
translation by Muhammad Asad, it uses the same words
which Dr.Zakir Naik used
"Expanding Universe". The verse reads
Muhammad
Asad:
"It is we who have
built the universe with [our creative] power; and, verily, it is we who
are steadily expanding it."
"we are expanding it" is the translation of the plural
present participle
musi'una and of the verb
ausa'a meaning "to make wider, more spacious, to
extend, to expand"
Ali Sina Writes:
My Response:
What is Ali Sina actually trying to tell us here? Its
not even clear. Its talking about the capacity of the
heavens to return back rain. The Quran does not
mention “rain” specifically because the layer around the earth Ozonosphere
besides returning back rain also returns back other beneficial matter and
energy which is required by the human beings. Lets
read the different translations of this verse
Yusuf Ali:
[086:011] By the Firmament which returns (in its round),
Dr. Munir Munshey
[086:011] (I
swear) by the sky that repeatedly sends
rain down.
Sher Ali:
[086:011]
By the cloud which gives rain
repeatedly,
Shakir:
[086:011] I
swear by the rain-giving heavens,
Pickthall:
[086:011]
By the heaven which giveth the
returning rain,
[086:011]
By the heaven which
returneth the rain;
Muhammad Al-Hilali & Muhsin Khan:
[086:011]
By the sky (having rain clouds)
which
gives rain, again and again.
Palmer:
[086:011]
By the heaven that sends back
the rain!
Arberry:
[086:011]
By heaven of the returning
rain,
Khalifa:
[086:011]
By the sky that returns (the
water).
Rodwell:
[086:011] I
swear by the heaven which
accomplisheth
its cycle,
So it is very clear from this what
the verse is talking about. Even the non-Muslim translators say that it is
referring to rain. Dr.Zakir Naik
gave the reason why Allah (SWT) did not mention it specifically.
So
Alhumdulillah The Quran is more scientific when it
mentions about the stage of evaporation.
Ali Sina Writes:
My Response:
It is not
talking about any pagan mythology. Ali Sina even
describes that pagan mythology. The pagan mythology also says as Ali
Sina describes
"The
lord rested; he gazed at the huge body, pondering how to use it, what to
create from the dead carcass. He split it apart like a cockleshell; with
the upper half he constructed the arc of sky, he pulled down the bar"
The
Quran denies that God rests
“Allah! There is no
god but He,-the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal.
No slumber can seize Him nor sleep” (Quran 2:255)
“ We created the heavens and the earth and all between them in
Six Days, nor did any sense of weariness
touch Us.” (Quran 50:38)
Where is the mention of dead
carcass and other stupidity like pulling down the bar etc in the
Quran??
The Quran
is only talking about Big Bang.
Dr.Zakir Naik explains
“The
creation of the universe is explained by astrophysicists in a widely accepted
phenomenon, popularly known as the 'Big Bang'. It is supported by observational
and experimental data gathered by astronomers and astrophysicists for decades.
According to the 'Big Bang', the whole universe was initially one big mass
(Primary Nebula). Then there was a 'Big Bang' (Secondary Separation) which
resulted in the formation of Galaxies. These then divided to form stars,
planets, the sun, the moon, etc. The origin of the universe was unique and the
probability of it occurring by 'chance' is zero."
Ali Sina
Writes:
My Response:
Ali Sina
here again quotes the verses and mispresents them.
Both the verses 6:92 and 42:7 say "Mother of cities and
All Around her"
ALL around her means the
full world.
Suppose if I say “Centre
of the circle and all around it” what does that imply? It means the full
circle. Similarly
And in other two verses Allah is saying
that he has sent Muhammad (pbuh) to admonish the
people to whom no guidance has come before. Does it say that "admonish only
those people to whom no Warner had been sent"?? Definitely
not !!! Allah (SWT) sends his final messenger, which is for
the whole of humanity from those people, to whom a messenger had not been sent
before.
Most of the Translations
translate the word 'nas' as 'mankind'
in the verses which Dr.Zakir Naik
quoted i.e 14:52,2:185 and
39:41. But even if Ali Sina doesn't
agree. Still other verses prove that Quran is
for entire humanity. Nowhere does the Quran say that
it is only for the Arabs. He deliberately mispresented
the verses he quoted to prove that.
More verses confirming
Quran to be for entire humanity
"Blessed
be He Who sent down the criterion (of right and wrong, i.e.
this Quran) to His slave (Muhammad SAW) that he may
be a warner to the Alameen
(mankind and jinns)." (Quran
25:1)
"But it is nothing less than a
Message
to all the worlds." (Quran 68:52)
"Verily this is no less than a
Message
to (all) the Worlds:" (Quran 81:27)
"And no reward you (O Muhammad SAW) ask of
them (those who deny your Prophethood) for it,
it(the Quran) is no less than a
Reminder and an advice unto the Alameen (men
and jinns)." (Quran
12:104)
The word used in the above 4 verses is "Alameen" meaning "worlds".
Ali Sina
Writes:
My Response:
Lets read the verse.
“And made his progeny from a quintessence of the nature of a fluid despised:” (Quran 32:8)
Quintessence means
“
|
1. |
the pure and concentrated essence of a substance. |
|
2. |
the most perfect embodiment of something. |
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/quintessence
According to Concise Oxford Dictionary “quintessence” means
“the
most essential part of a substance”
So Dr.Zakir
Naik was correct when he said it means “best part of
the whole”.
Its just a difference in the choice of words.
Ali Sina
Writes:
My Response:
Dr.Zakir Naik said that people did not know about pain receptors. That is True !! Pain receptors is a recent discovery. The scientific point here is that
People did not know that if you burn a skin
continuously it will lose the tendency of burning anymore. That is what doctors
do today when a patient of burn injury comes. They take a pin and prick in that
area. If the patient feels pain the doctor is happy because its
a superficial burn. If the patient does not feel pain then
its deep burn. That is the miraculous point about it. And we may well
ask. If this was known since ages. Then why is the
discovery of pain receptors considered a recent discovery. Why isn't it
considered a discovery that was done eons ago?
Ali Sina
Writes:
My Response:
Ali Sina
here repeats the same nonsense that the Christians keep repeating.
Dr.Zakir Naik replies to this
http://www.irf.net/irf/dtp/dawah_tech/t18/t18a/pg1.htm
The day in the bible
should be interpreted as a 24-hour day because it speaks of a MORNING &
EVENING. Lets take one example here
"3 And
God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that
the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called
the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And
there was evening, and there was morning—the first
day." (Genesis 1:3-5)
The Quran
does not speak of evening and morning when describing the days. Therefore, the
Biblical verses refer to six 24-hour days whereas the Quranic
verses refer to 6 eons i.e very long periods and
scientists do not take any exception to this but the Biblical verses are not
compatible with science as they speak of six 24-hour days.
Ali Sina
Writes:
My Response:
Let me remind
you of something before I proceed with the response.
Ali
Sina
has not quoted a single Medical book to back any of his claims on embryology.
Nutfa
means “minute quantity
of liquid” or “sperm” as Ali Sina describes. Then the Quran says
“We made that nutfa into
alaqa
Alaqa
also means “something
which clings” or “leech like” substance.
The
Quran is describing the stages of embryology based on
appearance. Embryo does in the initial stages look like a leech.
This is the photograph that Dr.Zakir
Naik showed.
http://www.islam-guide.com/ch1-1-a.htm
Regarding the female egg.
I am hearing it for the first time in my life. Ali
Sina
again hasn’t given any proof of it.
I want him to
quote a single book on embryology, which says so.
Not a book
written by him or any of his clowns.
Ali Sina
Writes:
My Response:
The Quran
no where mentions them to be lamps. This is a LIE. The Holy Quran
differentiates between the sunlight and moonlight.
In the words of
Dr.Zakir Naik
“The
Arabic word for Sun is ‘Shams’. It's always described either as ‘Siraj’ meaning a torch, or ‘Wahaj’
meaning a blazing lamp, or ‘Diya’ – ‘meaning a
shining glory’. The Moon - the Arabic word is ‘Qamar’.
It's always described as ‘Munir’, meaning
borrowed light or ‘Noor’, which is a
reflection of light.”
Ali Sina doesn’t agree that “noor” means reflected light. He goes on to quote
various verses of the Quran where the word “noor” is used. I’ll just quote few of them here.
2:257
He
bringeth them out of
darkness into light
4:174
We have sent down unto you a clear
light
There hath come to you from God a (new) light
We did reveal the Torah, wherein is guidance and a light
In all these verses we see that “light” is referred to as guidance.
The guidance, which is reflected by Allah (SWT) on human beings.
Nowhere in the entire Quran is “munir”
or “noor” used for something that emanates
light or something that has its own light.
Muhammad Asad the
famous translator and commentator explains:
“He is is who has made the sun a
[source of] radiant light and the moon a light [reflected]” (Quran 10:5)
Footnote #10
“The nouns diya
and nur are often interchangeable,
inasmuch as both denote “light”; but many philologists are of the opinion that
the term diya (or daw’)
has a more intensive connotation, and is used to describe “a light which
subsists by itself, as that of the sun and fire” – that is , a source of
light- while nur signifies “a light that
subsists by some other thing” (Lane V, 1809, of the authority of
Taj al-Arus): in
other words, light due to an extraneous source or – as in the case of the moon
– reflected light”
Still if one doesn’t agree I want to know why is
there not one place in the Holy Quran where moonlight
is described as Siraj’ meaning a torch,
or ‘Wahaj’ meaning a blazing lamp, or ‘Diya’ – ‘meaning a shining glory’??
Why is there not a single place where sunlight is described as “munir” or “ noor”??
The reason is that the
author of the Quran who is the All-Knowing Creator of
this universe knows the difference between the two lights.
The above explanation is sufficient to prove that the light of the moon is not
its own light but it’s reflected light.
Ali Sina Writes:
My Response:
The verses
mention “Zulqarnain” not “Alaxander”.
If some commentator makes a mistake then he is wrong not Allah.
Dr.Zakir Naik did not lie when he said it
means “appeared”
Dr.Zakir Naik made it very clear when he
said “One is this way, according to Muhammad Asad”
Lets read
the translation of Muhammad Asad on this
verse :
“ [And he marched westwards] till,
when he came to the setting of the sun," it appeared to him that it
was setting in a dark, turbid sea;" and nearby he found a people [given to
every kind of wrongdoing].” (Quran 18:86)
For the detailed response to this
so-called “error” refer to this beautiful article by answering-christianity
http://www.answering-christianity.com/sunrise_sunset.htm
Ali Sina Writes:
My Response:
Lets read the verses and reveal the deception of Ali
Sina.
[086:001]
By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);-
[086:002]
And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?-
[086:003] (It
is) the Star of piercing brightness;-
[086:004]
There is no soul but has a protector over it.
(Quran 86:1-4)
Where do these verses say that
star is the protector??
In the first
verse Allah (SWT) is swearing by the Sky and Night-Visitant and in verse 2-3 He
is describing what Night-Visitant is and in verse four it says “There is no soul but has a protector over
it.” Where does the verse
say that the star is the protector? Allah (SWT) is swearing by the sky and
Night-Visitant that there is no soul but has a protector over it.
If this is a
mistake by Ali Sina then its
inexcusable and if its deliberate then its devilish!!
Ali Sina Writes:
13.
86.7
says sperms proceed from between the backbone and the ribs.
This is wrong.
My Response:
Yes, It may be wrong according to the Scientific discoveries done
by Ali Sina and his clowns. The scientists do not
disagree with that.
The verses
read :
“"Now let man but think From
what he is created! He is created from A drop emitted
--- Proceeding from between The back bone and the ribs." (Quran 86:5-7)
In embryonic stages, the
reproductive organs of the male and female, i.e. the testicles and the ovaries,
begin their development near the kidney between the spinal column and the
eleventh and twelfth ribs. Later they descend; the female gonads(ovaries)
stop in the pelvis while the male gonads(testicles) continue their descent
before birth to reach the scrotum through the inguinal canal. Even in the adult
after the descent of the reproductive organ, these organs receive their nerve
supply and blood supply from the Abdominal Aorta, which is in the area between
the back bone(spinal column) and the ribs. Even the
lymphatic drainage and the venous return goes to the
same area.

Ali Sina Writes:
14. Will
people be raised from dead on the Last Day to receive their punishment and
rewards 6.36,
7.57,
2.260,
21.21,
30.50,
35.9,
43.11,
72.7, or do
they receive it right after their death?
3.169
My Response:
Lets read the verses.
“Those who listen (in truth), be
sure, will accept: as to the dead, God will raise them up; then will they be
turned unto Him.” (Quran
6:36)
“It is He Who sendeth the winds
like heralds of glad tidings, going before His mercy: when they have carried
the heavy-laden clouds, We drive them to a land that is dead, make rain to
descend thereon, and produce every kind of harvest therewith: thus shall We
raise up the dead: perchance ye may remember.”
(Quran 7:57)
“Behold! Abraham said: "My
Lord! Show me how Thou givest life to the dead."
He said: "Dost thou not then believe?" He said: "Yea!
but to satisfy My own undertaking." He said: "Take
four birds; Tame them to turn to thee; put a portion
of them on every hill and call to them: They will come to thee (Flying) with
speed. Then know that God is Exalted in Power,
Wise." (Quran
2:260)
“Or have they taken (for worship) gods from the earth who can
raise (the dead)?” (Quran
21:21)
“Then contemplate (O man!) the
memorials of God's Mercy!- how He gives life to the earth after its death:
verily the same will give life to the men who are dead: for He has power over
all things.” (Quran
30:50)
“It is God Who sends forth the Winds, so that they raise up
the Clouds, and We drive them to a land that is dead, and revive the earth
therewith after its death: even so (will be) the Resurrection!”
(Quran 35:9)
“That sends down (from time to time) rain from the sky in due
measure;- and We raise to life therewith a land that
is dead; even so will ye be raised (from the dead);-“
(Quran 43:11)
“And they (came to) think as ye thought, that God would not
raise up any one (to Judgment).”
(Quran 72:7)
The supposed contradictory
verse:
“ Think not of those who are slain in God's way as dead. Nay,
they live, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord;”
(Quran 3:169)
Does one find any
contradiction?
Do the above verses say that
they will only be raised on the day of judgment?
The final recompense of everyone will be on the day of judgement.
“Every soul shall have a taste of
death: And only on the Day of Judgment shall you be paid your full recompense”
(Quran 3:185)
Allah (SWT) pay
punish some people before the day of judgment. Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) spoke of the stage between the
Hereafter and this life.
In 3:169 when Allah says
“They are alive” does not mean physically Alive. The
verse is in the context. When the pagans thought that the people who died by
fighting in the way of Allah have gone in a loss. So in that context it says
that they are Alive meaning they have their reward with Allah and they are not
in any kind of loss. Prophet (pbuh) and his
companions also offered prayers (Salat) for those who
died in the way of Allah.
Do Muslims offer the prayer
which we offer when a person dies for the person who is Alive??
No !
So it is not talking about being physically alive but spiritually and they have their reward with Allah.
Ali Sina Writes:
15.
31:10
says “He set on the earth mountains standing firm,
lest it should shake with you”. Mountains do not stop the earth from shaking with us.
It is ludicrous to say if mountains were not there the earth would have shaken
by people walking on it.
My Response:
The
Quran says
“….He set on the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should
shake with you;” (Quran
31:10)
Mountains
stabilize the earth’s crust. The geologists confirm that including
Dr.Frank Press. For details refer to this.
http://www.islam-guide.com/frm-ch1-1-b.htm
Ali Sina Writes:
16.
78:7 says
mountains are like tent pegs or stakes. This is false.
My Response:
False according
to scientific discoveries done by Ali Sina.
Mountains do have deep roots
Figure 7: Mountains have deep roots under the surface of the ground. (Earth, Press and Siever, p. 413.)
Figure 8: Schematic section. The mountains, like pegs, have deep roots embedded in the ground. (Anatomy of the Earth, Cailleux, p. 220.)
Figure 9: Another illustration shows how the mountains are peg-like in shape, due to their deep roots. (Earth Science, Tarbuck and Lutgens, p. 158.)
These are from the geological
books written by non-Muslims.
Taken from :
http://www.islam-guide.com/frm-ch1-1-b.htm
This is how they are described in
the Quran
“Have We
not made the earth as a wide expanse, And the mountains as pegs?”
(Quran 78:6-7)
Ali Sina Writes:
78:6
says ‘Have We [1st person] not made the
earth an expanse?’ and the verse
20.53
says "He [3rd person] Who has, made for you the earth like a
carpet spread out”.
2:22 says the
earth is a bed for you, and the heaven a roof. This is obviously wrong. Neither
the earth is like a bed nor the skies are like roof.
My Response:
As I proved above the
mountains have deep roots and they are like tent pegs or stakes.
The verse
“Who has made the earth your couch, and the heavens your
canopy; and sent down rain from the heavens; and brought forth therewith Fruits
for your sustenance; then set not up rivals unto God when ye know (the truth).”
(Quran 2:22)
The earth is like a couch
i.e a resting place. Some translators have translated the
word “firash” as carpet.
The earth is like a carpet.
Now the point which the critics may raise is that “carpet” indicates that the earth
is flat. I read the same point in some other articles on Ali Sina’s site. Dr.Zakir
Naik responds to this
http://www.irf.net/irf/dtp/dawah_tech/t15/t15b/pg1.htm
(See question 8 in the
above link)
The sky is also like a roof (dome). There is a protective roof above the earth which protects the earth from extraterrestrial elements. For more on protected roof refer to.

18.
16:66 says:
“And most surely there is a lesson for you in the cattle; We
give you to drink of what is in their bellies -- from betwixt the feces and the
blood-- pure milk, easy and agreeable to swallow for those who drink.” This is
rubbish. Milk is not produced from between feces and blood. This reveals
Muhammad's ignorance of anatomy.
My Response:
First of all lets take the correct translation of this verse
“"And verily in cattle there is A lesson for you. WE give you to drink Of what is inside their bodies, Coming from a conjunction Between the contents of the Intestine and the blood, A milk pure and pleasant for Those who drink it."(Quran 16:66)
(This translation is taken from
the book “The Bible, The Quran
And Science)
Dr.Zakir Naik explains:
“Chemical reactions occur in
the intestines and that, from there, substances extracted from food pass into
the blood stream via a complex system; sometimes by way of the liver, depending
on their chemical nature. The blood transports them to all the organs of the
body, among which are the milk-producing mammary glands.”
Ali Sina Writes:
19.
6:38, says
that ‘There is not an animal on the earth, nor a being that flies on two wings,
but forms communities like you’. No animal on earth forms communities like that
of humans.
My Response:
More rubbish from Ali Sina. The animals and birds do live in communities like the human beings. For details refer to
http://www.miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_77.html
Ali Sina Writes:
20.
55:19-20
says there is a barrier between two waters “which is forbidden to transgress”.
There is no barrier between any waters. All waters mix. .
My Response:
Lets read the verses
“[055:019] He has let free the
two bodies of flowing water, meeting together:
[055:020]
Between them is a Barrier which they do not transgress:” (Quran 55:19-20)
The Quran tells us very clearly that though they meet and mix but there is a barrier between them. How??
Refer to this
http://www.islam-guide.com/frm-ch1-1-b.htm
Here it explains with scientific proofs given by non-Muslim
scientists.
Ali Sina Writes:
21. Verses 7:54, 10:3, 11:7, and 25:59 say the universe was created in six days while verses 41:9-12 say it was created in eight days. Then again in 2:117 we are told that “He [3rd person] saith to it: 'Be,' and it is”. These are three different versions of creation – six days, eight days and instantaneously. At least two of them must be satanic verses. Which ones?
My Response:
“Be and It is” (Kun Fayakoon)
does not mean instantaneous. It is even used for Jesus. The Quran
says
“She said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no
man hath touched me?" He said: "Even so: God createth
what He willeth: When He hath decreed a plan, He but
saith to it, 'Be,' and it is!”
(Quran 3:47)
It is even used
for Jesus. But yet he was in his mother’s womb for 9 months.
It means
that whenever God wills anything he
merely says to it “Be” and it happens. Again, this does not mean that God has
to utter the word “be”,”be”,”be” to let the things happen. It means he
merely wills it and the thing happens in the course of time he wills.
Regarding six
days or eight days.
Dr.Zakir Naik replies to this:
http://www.irf.net/irf/dtp/dawah_tech/t15/t15b/pg1.htm
Refer
to question 14 in the link provided.
None
of the three are satanic. All are True
Ali Sina Writes:
22 .
2:29
says “He [3rd person] created for you all that is in the earth. Then
turned He to the heaven, and fashioned it as seven
heavens”. This version of creation is anachronous. This is like saying first
the child was born and then the mother. Is this another “miracle of Allah” or
another blunder of Muhammad? The same error is found in
7:54,
10:3,
11:7,
25:59 and
41:9-12..
My Response:
The
Quran says
“It is He Who hath created for
you all things that are on earth; Moreover (thumma) His design comprehended the heavens, for He gave order and
perfection to the seven firmaments; and of all things He hath perfect
knowledge.” (Quran
2:29)
The word “thumma” besides meaning “then” it also means “moreover” or
“simultaneously.” Alhumdulillah Abdullah Yusuf
Ali has translated “thumma” correctly here as “moreover.”
Some places the
Quran says that Allah created the earth and heavens.
“A revelation from Him Who
created the earth and the heavens on high.”
(Quran 20:4)
“It is He Who hath created for
you all things that are on earth; Moreover (thumma) His design comprehended the heavens, for He gave order and
perfection to the seven firmaments; and of all things He hath perfect
knowledge.” (Quran
2:29)
In other places the Quran says that Allah
created the heavens and the earth.
“Say: "Shall I take for my protector
any other than God, the Maker of the heavens and the earth?...
” (Quran 6:14)
“It is He who created the heavens
and the earth in true (proportions):….”
(Quran 6:73)
In some places it says
“heavens and the earth”, In some places it says “earth and the heavens”
confirming the Big Bang theory that both of them were created
simultaneously. The Quran too confirms the Big Bang
Theory.
