A GREAT CONTRADICTION AND CONFUSION IN THE QURAN ABOUT MOSES ACCUSING AARON AND THE SAMARITAN OF MAKING THE GOLDEN CALF
Dear Reader,
Let us turn to Surah Taha, which was revealed in Mecca, verses 92 to 95:
92. (Moses) said: O Aaron! What prevented you, when you saw them going astray,
93. That you did not follow me? Have you disobeyed my command?
94. He said: O son of my mother! Do not seize me by my beard or my head. I was afraid that you would say: You have caused division among the Children of Israel, and you did not wait for my word.
95. (Moses) said: O Samaritan! What do you want?
The verses above state that Moses rebuked Aaron and “the Samaritan” for making the Golden Calf for the Israelites when Moses was on Mount Sinai. But is this claim true?
LET US EXAMINE THE HISTORICAL EVIDENCE
The Assyrians conquered the Jews of the Northern Kingdom in 722 BC (Before Christ). They took them into exile and brought with them captives from various other kingdoms. These foreigners later intermarried with the remaining Jews from the lower tribes who were allowed by the Assyrians to remain in the land.
Their children were the ones called “Samaritans” because they lived in the land of Samaria, which was named after the landowner known as “Shemer.” (See 1 Kings 16:24.)
1 Kings 16:24 – “He bought the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver and built a city on the hill, calling it Samaria, after Shemer, the name of the former owner of the hill.”
The Jews despised the Samaritans for two reasons:
-
Because of their mixed blood (“mixed race”)
-
Because they established their own temples in opposition to the Temple in Jerusalem.
THE CONFUSION AND CONTRADICTION BEGINS HERE
The incident of the Golden Calf, which occurred near Mount Sinai as described in the Quran (Surah 20:92–95 above), took place in 1446 BC, which is 725 years before the first Samaritan was born in 721 BC.
My brothers and sisters,
Once again we see how the Quran is filled with confusion and contradiction at every turn.
In the Quranic verses cited above, and when compared to the historical record of the Samaritans, there is a massive discrepancy between the time Samaritans first appeared and the actual event of the Golden Calf.
The Golden Calf incident occurred in 1446 BC, which is 725 years before the first Samaritan was ever born, yet Allah claims there were Samaritans during that event.
Why is Allah unable to present His dates accurately?
QUESTIONS
-
Why did Allah fail to tell the truth about the Golden Calf incident and insist that it happened during the time when Samaritans existed?
-
Is it possible that Muhammad’s lack of knowledge caused him to misunderstand what Gabriel was telling him?
-
Is it possible that when Allah gave the message to Gabriel, Gabriel also failed to convey it to Muhammad correctly?
-
Can we trust the Quran—which fails to present accurate historical data—as a book “with no doubt in it”?
The history of the Golden Calf is found not only in religious texts but also in secular historical writings. But in the Quran, this account is presented with a major falsehood.
If truly Allah is the one who gave the Torah to Moses, why did He fail to state the truth?
If truly Allah gave the Torah to Moses, can Muslims and Allah show us where that original Torah revealed before the Quran exists today?
Dear readers,
The Quran was not revealed by Allah—it was written by people here on earth. If Muslims disagree, let them explain why Allah is unable to state the truth and instead fills the Quran with contradictions.
Indeed, the foundation of the Islamic religion is a god who has already been described as the father of lies. Return to these words from the Bible, the book of God:
John 8:44 – *“You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there...
The Bible has already answered that the father of lies is the Devil, and he speaks what belongs to him. Therefore, that is why the Allah of the Muslims also speaks what is his.
I invite you to the Great God, who is not the father of lies but is the Creator of everything and who died for your sins.
Receive Jesus today and obtain Eternal Life.
God bless you greatly.
