Question No. 1: Islamic scriptures say that Allah has created this heaven and earth, from nothingness, within six days and on the seventh day he created Adam, the first human being; and Prophet Muhammad was the 90th descendant of Adam. According to my calculation, considering 30 years to be the age difference between two successive generations, Allah created this heaven and earth only 4,137 years ago. On the contrary, geological experts say that the earth is more than 3 billion years old. So, I request the wisdom of Dr Zakir Naik to enlighten me in this matter. Question No. 2: Islamic scriptures do not say what Allah was doing before creating this heaven and earth. Was Allah jobless before his creation? Or more pointedly, did Allah exist before creation? I hope that Dr Naik will enlighten me in this matter also. Question No. 3: According to Islamic faith, Allah creates everything from nothingness. If Allah desires something to create, He utters the Arabic word “kun” (or let it be) and then and then the desired thing gets shape. But it is really difficult to comprehend why Allah created Adam with clay. I therefore request Dr Naik to explain, why Allah did not create Adam from nothingness? Question No. 4: According to the Koran, Allah created water first and placed solid earth on water and to keep the unstable earth firm, he created mountains as nails (21:26). The Allah created the sky as a solid roof to cover the earth, which he has been able to fix in position without pillars by his extraordinary miraculous power or qudrah (31:10). And over this solid sky, he created seven heavens (38:27). Obviously, the sun, the moon and the stars are lying below the solid roof. Scriptures also says that, on the Day of Last Judgment, Allah will destroy this solid sky and the debris will fall upon the earth. My humble question, how the angel Zibrail managed to travel between heaven and earth and succeeded to create a passage through that solid roof (called the sky), to meet the Prophet and enlighten him with the verses of the Holy Koran? Has Allah made a secret hole in the solid sky for his convenience? And did the Prophet, during his journey to heaven (meraj) utilize the same hole? I request Dr Naik to enlighten me on this matter. Question No. 5: It is said that Ferista Zibrail used to carry a divine edition of the Koran from heaven and read a certain passage from that divine edition of the book to the Prophet and that is the reason the Koran is called ohi-e-matlu or “read revelation”. There is no doubt that the first lesson of the holy Koran, or first five verses of 96th Sura (or Sura Clots of Blood) was revealed on the night of Sab-e-qadr, on 27th Ramadhan in 610 AD. Scholars agree that the 182nd verse of Sura Cow (the 2nd Sura) was the closing verse of the holy Koran, that reads “Howbeit he who apprehendeth from the testator any mistake or injustice, and shall compose the matter between them, that shall be no crime in him, for Allah is gracious and merciful”, while the Prophet was lying on his death-bed (tr by George Sale). But the scriptures do not give any clue that the divine edition of the book came to an end with the revelation of the verse (2: 182). Furthermore, the very nature of the text of this verse appears that it cannot be the parting word of Almighty God. On the other, if the Prophet had the chance to live a few more years, it is certain that he have revealed many more suras of the holy Koran. So it makes one skeptical that the divine edition of the Koran was not ended with the revelation of the said verse (2: 182). Or in other words, Allah could not convey his entire message to the mankind. So it is a matter of speculation, how much of the divine Koran remained unrevealed. It would have been wise for Allah to send another messenger after Nuhannad to transmit the remaining part of the holy Koran. But <font color= why did the Almighty Allah deprive the humanity from the remaining part of his message by deciding not to send any other messenger after Muhammad? Question No. 6: It is not easy for a commoner to comprehend, what made Allah to decide that he would not send any other prophet after Muhammad. This decision of Allah would have been compatible if he would have kept the human civilization stagnant as it was in Arabia 1400 years ago. But it seems to be hopelessly unintelligible why Allah had allowed human society to advance but not to update his message accordingly? Does it not reflect utter lack of intelligence and experience of all knowing Allah? Question No. 7: According to the Koran, on the Day of Last Judgment (or Qiyamah), Allah will raise everyone from his grave to assess his/her deeds in this world. For the merit of surrendering to Allah’s Koran and Allah’s messenger Muhammad, all the Muslims will enter Allah’s paradise and all the kafirs, for their offence of refusing Allah’s Koran and Allah’s messenger, will be thrown in Hell fire. So, it is ob
