If Allah is God, then why does the Shahada say, "There is no god except Allah" instead of simply stating it directly? The Qur'an itself identifies Allah as ilāh (Qur'an 2:163). Is this a grammatical explanation, or a logical one?

@BRICSinfo Pakistan's defense pacts appear to come with an invisible asterisk.
*Valid until the first missile is launched. Terms and conditions apply.
Iran and Houthis kept attacking Saudi Arabia. Pakistan apparently interpreted the pact as "thoughts and prayers." 😂
@Kryptotajeer So Allah has no gender, but every pronoun, every verb, every adjective, and every reference is masculine... and if anyone notices, the excuse is, "It's just grammar." That's one convenient abdool loophole. 😂
The mentality 🤣. They call prostitution haram with absolute certainty, but the moment you point to mut'ah aka prostitution, the reply is: "You don't understand Allah's revelation." Apparently, the magic ingredient that changes everything is a religious label. Fascinating logic.
I have a friend named Ayesha. She always says that people who have sex before marriage are no different from prostitutes.
One day I asked her, "What's your view on Mut'ah (pleasure marriage)?"
She replied, "I support it because Allah has made it permissible."
I said, "But in Mut'ah too, a person can have a relationship with someone for a fixed period in exchange for money or gifts. How is that fundamentally different?"
Her final reply was:
"You won't understand until you accept Islam and have Iman."
1/ None of these are the "gotchas" you think they are.
2/ "Pharaoh" in Joseph's time: The Bible uses the familiar title for the Egyptian ruler. Ancient texts often use later or familiar titles for readers. This is not a contradiction.
3/ Genesis 22:2 – "your only son, Isaac":
The Bible also says:
1- The king was a pharoah at the time of Joseph
Correction: we now know there was no ruler by the title of pharoah at the time of joseph
2- Isaac is Abraham’s only sons…. Gen 22:2
Correction; the Bible ITSELF shows this contradiction that Isaac isn’t at no point the only son. Since Ishmael is his first born…. Gen 16:12
3- 2 Samuel 24:1 “the LORD… moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel.”
1 Chronicles 21:1 “Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.”
Which one is it? The lord or satan?
The Bible says a whole bunch of contradictory statements, I just stated a few. Your Bible is inaccurate and corrupted so it doesn’t stand as authority over anything Islamic so when you use the Bible as the arbiter of truth, it cannot stand on its own feet so it’s meaningless
original uncorrupted text? Who corrupted it? When? By whom? And why do manuscripts from centuries before Islam contain the same books and core teachings?
6/ Ironically, the Qur'an repeatedly tells Jews and Christians to judge by the Torah and the Gospel (Qur'an 5:43, 5:47, 5:68)
@Gwani_bukhari have detailed inheritance statutes. Detail isn't evidence of divinity.
Now the "perfect" law: Qur'an 4:11 gives a son twice the share of a daughter. Calling it "Allah's justice" doesn't answer why children of the same parents are treated unequally based solely on sex.
@Gwani_bukhari Roman law with a Christian legal code. That's why in Luke 12:13–14 He refused to act as a civil judge. His mission was salvation, not drafting a new constitution.
Blindly saying "Islam has detailed inheritance laws" doesn't prove divine origin. Plenty of human legal systems
So clear that every sect claims the others misunderstood it. Four major madhhabs, countless sects, contradictory Qur'an verses, hadith, tafsirs, abrogated verses, and 1,400 years of debate over a book that's supposedly "crystal clear."
Islam is beautiful because it gives a clear and simple foundation that is Allah is One, without partner or likeness, and Muhammad PBUH is His final Messenger. It brings clarity to questions of purpose, morality, worship, life, death, and the Hereafter. Everything is clear.
The more one reflects on the Qur’an and the life of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH, the more one appreciates the depth, balance, and mercy of Islam.
Alhamdulillah for the blessing of Islam and for the guidance of Allah.
To me, it looks like people who abandoned their own culture, traditions, and heritage to imitate a 7th-century Arab culture and now call that their identity.
Funny is they don't even speak Arabic.
@GurbanovaAln I've been to Baku many times, and I never saw native Azerbaijanis walking around in Arab robes or women in niqabs. Your faith is between you and God. In other places people are abandoning their own culture to imitate 7th-century Arabian clothing and customs in the name of
"I am a Sharia law survivor from Iran"

His warning is worth a listen:
Matthew 4:23 says Jesus "preached the gospel of the kingdom" using the word from the very book you claim doesn't count as the Injeel. So by your own citation, Matthew IS recording the gospel Jesus preached. You just proved the thing you're arguing against. 😂
