The Koran contains contradictions of consquence

With thanks to Microsuck for a very prompt response.Can Allah's decree change?Depends, on what you mean by ‘decree’.If it is a decision by Allah, then the decision is bound to be enforced as soon as it is due. There is nothing that can alter it.The Holy Quran:19:35 …when He determines a matter, He only says to it, "Be", and it is.If Allah has made a promise, then Allah will fulfill that promise. Verse 6:34 and 6:115 (which you presented) were talking about promise of Allah.Allah has given several instructions to humanity about how we should lead our lives. It is possible for human beings to ignore some of the commandments (at their own peril) for the time being. This is just because God has granted some time and respite to human beings before taking account of their deeds.These instructions can also be classified in two ways. The core concepts (‘Deen’ or ‘Dharma’) always remain intact. On other hand the rules and regulations ('Shariah' or 'Niyam') can change from time of one Prophet to next. This does not mean the old rules were wrong. It is just that they have been substituted with new rules which are better (or more appropriate) for the age. This is what Verse 2:106 was talking about.I will quickly present one example about the kind of changes that are possible. It was compulsory for Children of Israel to observe Sabbath and to pray daily for two times. Muslims do not have to observe Sabbath, but we have to pray daily for five times. This does not mean that there was anything wrong with the practice of observing Sabbath. It is just that the rules changed. God is timeless. The rules and regulations are meant for human beings. The rules are changed as per human need and not God's who is free from all needs.First Muslims:There is a difference between being first Muslims chronologically and being 'first' among Muslims (or the most devout Muslim).The first Muslims were Prophet Adam and Eve (Peace on Them), the forefathers of all humanity.And who is ‘first among Muslims’? All the Prophets of Allah are the best among the Muslims. We do not make any difference between them.The Holy Quran:2:136. Say ye: "We believe in Allah, and the revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to [all] prophets from their Lord: We make no difference between one and another of them: And we bow to Allah [in Islam]."Did Pharaoh drown?This is based on a minor misunderstanding, which can be cleared up by reading the verses you quoted carefully. Pharaoh drowned and died, but his body was preserved as a sign for humanity.The Holy Quran:10:92. "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!"== Conclusion ==My esteemed partner said:"...If you show me that Islam is correct I will convert. Until then, I believe these three contradictions are enough..."God willing, I will do my best to explain any contradictions you present. However, we should pray to Allah to guide us to the truth and resolve any confusion or rancour we may have in our heart.Looking forward to further arguments from Microsuck.
