Yusuf Ulucan
Translation: H. Neslihan Demiriz
[1] This sentence takes place in the speech of Elisha (Elijah), the king of one of the kingdoms founded by Jews in North after the reign of Solomon, while he was bestowing gifts to the Prophets. It also declares the stable belief of Jews. Paul antagonizes this thought in his epistle to Romans (3/29). According to Qur’an Allah is “the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them.” [for example: Naba (78) : 37]
[2] 2 Kings: 5 / 15
[4] Genesis: 2/2 – 3
[5] The term “to regret” is replaced with “to give up” and “to change someone’s mind” in New Translation. However all of these terms cannot be attributed to Allah and cannot be one of his attributes.
[6]Genesis: 6 / 6 – 7
[7] Jonah: 3/9 – 10
[8] Jeremiah: 15/6
[9] “To remember” is the opposite of “to forget”. However, Allah is exalted.
[10] Exodus: 2 / 24 – 25
[11] Deuteronomy: 32 / 21 (abridged)
[12] Joel: 2/18
[13] Hosea: 1/9
[14] Qur’an, Baqarah (2): 255: Neither drowsiness overtakes Him [Allah] or sleep
[15] Psalm: 73 / 20
[16]Psalm: 78 / 65
[17]Zechariah : 10 / 8
[18] Genesis: 32/28, also look: Hosea: 12/3

[20]Qur’an, Yunus (10): 44 “Indeed, Allah does not wrong the people at all, but it is the people who are wronging themselves.
[21] Jeremiah: 20 / 7
[22]Jeremiah: 4 / 10
[23] Job: 30 / 19 – 21

[26]Habakkuk : 1 / 2 – 3
[27]Corinthians : 1 / 25
[28]Isaiah: 54 / 5
[29] Attributing fatherhood to Allah by the believers of major religions is strictly criticized in Qur’an (Maryam (19): 88 – 93): “And they say, "The Most Merciful has taken [for Himself] a son." You have done an atrocious thing. The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the earth splits open and the mountains collapse in devastation. That they attribute to the Most Merciful a son. And it is not appropriate for the Most Merciful that He should take a son. There is no one in the heavens and earth but that he comes to the Most Merciful as a servant.”
[30]Exodus: 4 / 22 – 23
[31] Romans: 8 / 16
P.S. the first sentence is quoted from Old Testament which belongs to Jews and the second one is taken from New Testament which belongs to Christians.
