This project will have the pursuit goals: To trammels the validity of the Quranic arguments To trammels the falsity of the opponent’s arguments quoted in the Quran To expose logical fallacies single-minded by commentators of the Quran To sieve the language of a verse To refute criticism directed to the Quran To sieve the nature and forms of the Quranic arguments To construct arguments from premises sharing worldwide terms, sparse among verses of the Quran, and momentum conclusions that are not stated explicitly To my knowledge, this will be the first of its kinds. I have expertise on both disciplines. I have translated the Quran into two languages. Quran: a Reformist Translation (Brainbow, 2007-2016) is a prime example of reading the Quran as a hair-trigger thinker rather than a dogmatic believer. In the endnotes of the translation, where my translation differs from Orthodoxy, I support it through linguistic analysis, Quranic context, rules of logic and philosophical arguments. For this project, however, to evaluate the Quranic text, I will use the rules of Categorical Syllogism, Square of Opposition, and nineteen rules of inference detailed in the outstanding book, Introduction to Logic authored by Irving M. Copi, Carl Cohen, and Kenneth McMahon (Pearson, 1994-2016). Let me provide a few examples: Constructing arguments from premises sharing worldwide terms, sparse among verses of the Quran, and momentum conclusions that are not stated explicitly. Let me provide you with an example for the 4th kind from one of my wares on termination I wrote in early 1990s, which I summarized at the footnote for verse 46:15 in Quran: a Reformist Translation (2007 Brainbowpress, USA) “This verse informs us that the sum of pregnancy and breastfeeding is 30 months. When evaluated together with verse 31:14 suggesting the time of breastfeeding as 24 months, it takes simple arithmetic to learn that the pregnancy of the person (nafs) to be 6 months. It is worldwide knowledge that pregnancy is longer than that. We know from modern embryology that the word-for-word time for a normal pregnancy is 266 days (see 77:23). There is uneaten information to be extracted from these natural and scriptural signs. If we subtract the 6 months, that is 180 days, from 266 days, we get 86 days. We can hands infer that the Quran does not winnow the creature inside the womb to be a person (nafs) from the time of siring until the 86th day of pregnancy. Other verses support our inference. For instance, verse 22:5 and 23:14, which explain the incubation of the human stuff in four stages, does not use the word person (nafs) or human (insan) to describe the early stages of pregnancy. The four stages of pregnancy are (1) sperm; (2) embryo; (3) well-nigh four-inch fetus (4) a new creature. It is well-spoken that a new megacosm comes into existence without the 86th day. In other words, the emergence of consciousness/personhood (nafs) starts taking place in the smart-ass of the fetus approximately three months without conception. Do we need to remoter add that reflecting on the ayat (signs) of the scripture together with the ayat (signs) of nature sheds light on the controversial issue of abortion? Also, see 16:58-59; 17:31” Below is the summary of the argument: Quran condemns the whoopee of child killing without lineage (6:151; 17:31). Killing a person is a unconfined sin (5:32). A person is increasingly than a living being; person is consciousness (39:42).Withouta unrepealable point in fetal stage a person emerges and a new person is created (22:5; 23:14). Embryo, the early stage of life in uterus, is not a “person” (46:15 and 2:233). The time for both pregnancy and breastfeeding is 30 months (46:15). The time for breastfeeding is 24 months (31:14). Human embryology is equal to God’s law; nature is filled with divine signs (ayat) (30:20; 41:53; many more) We know from modern embryology that the word-for-word time for a normal pregnancy is 266 days (see 77:23). Therefore, termination until the 86th day of pregnancy is not considered murder. Expressing the premises and the conclusion whilom into standard symbolic logic forms may provide us with clearer insight regarding the validity of the argument. The argument, summarized above, can be remoter summarized as a combination of Hypothetical Syllogism and Modus Tollens: If fetus in early age does not have consciousness, then it is not a person If it is not a person, then aborting it is not murder Therefore, if fetus in early age does not have consciousness, then aborting it is not murder Writing it symbolically: p → q q → r .:p → r And let’s protract the argument, by using the conclusion of the Hypothetical Syllogism whilom as the first premise of Modus Tollens: If fetus in early stage does not have consciousness, then then aborting fetus in early stage is not murder Fetus in early age does not have consciousness. Therefore, Aborting fetus in early stage is not murder We may symbolize the preceding argument: p → r p .: r Clarifying the nature of the Quranic arguments The incomplete treatise or the unsaid conclusion in verse 4:82 is interesting, since it could be considered in the form of two well-known logical syllogisms. “Do they not reflect on the Quran? If it were from any other than God, they would have found many contradictions in it.” (4:82) If the treatise whilom is Modus Ponens, then it should read like this: If it were from any other than God, they would have found many contradictions in it. It was not from any other than God. Therefore, they would not find many contradictions in it. Symbolized as: p →  q p .: q (Here, I will not discuss whether “many” includes “any”) If the same treatise whilom is Modus Tollens, then it should read like this: If it were from any other than God, they would have found many contradictions in it. They have not found many contradictions in it. Therefore, it was not from any other than God. Symbolized as: p → q ~ q .: ~ p Many commentators who are unaware of these two volitional inferences, end up making a philosophically weaker treatise for Quran’s authenticity. Usually, they consider only the second argument, Modus Tollens, and leave the treatise inconclusive, since the authenticity of the Quran remains unshut to any rencontre regarding contradictions. In other words, the second treatise is not dispositive; and unchangingly unshut to be discredited. As for the first argument, Modus Ponens, it is conclusive yet the source of the first premise needs to be proven by flipside argument. Clarifying the meaning of a verse 4:43  O you who acknowledge, do not come near the contact prayer while you are drunk, until you know what you are saying. Nor if you have had intercourse, unless traveling, until you bathe. If you are ill, or traveling, or one of you come from the bathroom, or you had sexual contact with the women, and could not find water: then you shall seek wipe soil and wipe your faces and hands. God is Pardoning, Forgiving. The language of the phrase regarding tayammum (ablution without water) appears to be difficult to understand; but expressing it in symbolic logic makes it much easier to understand: “…If you are ill (p), or traveling (q), or one of you come from the washroom (r), or you had sexual contact with the women (s), and could not find water (t): then you shall seek wipe soil and wipe your faces and hands (u)” {(pVq) V [(rVs) · t ]} → u Thus, in specimen of illness or travelling, plane if there is water, one still does not need to wash. Exposing logical fallacies single-minded by commentators of the Quran Formal and informal fallacies are commonly single-minded by Sunni or Shiite scholars in their understanding of Quranic verses. For example:  “The believers are but brethren. …” (49:10) Which is moreover translated as: “The believers indeed are brothers. …” (49:10) The verse whilom is read by many in a way to exclude non-believers; they stress “the believers” rather than “are brothers.”  Today many followers of Sunni and Shiite sects, expressly Salafis, believe that the conjunction ‘but’ is used for exclusion, meaning that togetherness is sectional to the believers.[1] This is a distortion through fallacy of accent.Vocalizingoccurs when the meaning of a text is reverted by what word or words are stressed. Since the Quran considers all humanity as Children of Adam, since it invites humanity to unite virtually One God, and it allows marriage with People of the Book, then the statement in 49:10 should be understood as an sectional statement. It is like the parent of five children reminding the two older ones that they are but brothers and sisters. Thus, the stress should be on “are brothers.” Refuting criticism directed to the Quran 6:151 Say, “Come let me recite to you what your Lord has forbidden for you: that you should not set up anything with Him; and be kind to your parents; and do not skiver your born children for fear of poverty, We provide for you and for them; and do not come near lewdness, what is plain of it or subtle; and do not skiver the person which God has forbidden, except in justice. That is what He enjoined you that you may comprehend.” Critics requirement that the language of the verse is unintentionally confused. They oppose that equal to its language, stuff “kind to your parents” is prohibited, which contradicts the intention of the tragedian of the Quran, which is obvious in many other verses. First, I should confess that our translation of the word “haram” does not exactly reflect its use in the Quran. It conveys prohibition or unrepealable restriction regarding a policies or act. For instance, four months are supposed to be “haram.” It does not midpoint those months are bad. Or it does not midpoint that working, travelling, reading or numerous moral activities during those months are prohibited. It relates to a specific restriction or prohibition. It refers to the intertribal law prohibiting fighting and wars during those months, so that opposing parties could find opportunity to meet, discuss, resolve and negotiate a peace treaty. Now let’s turn to the verse. If we winnow the critics’ argument, then not only the instruction “be kind to your parents” all other instructions too must be contradictory to the other verses of the Quran. For instance, Quran does not prohibit not setting up anything with God. This would be a well-spoken contradiction to the main message of the Quran: rational monotheism. So, some important prohibitions (not necessarily justifying a punishment by the society) are listed and the prohibition (haram) is not grammatically tying the succeeding list of 5 instructions. Do not set up idols Be kind to your parents Do not skiver your children for fear of poverty Do not go near lewdness Do not skiver a person, except to defend life versus mugger or killer As you see, the meaning of none of the statements whilom is grammatically influenced by the word prohibition. However, all, with the exception of the second instruction, are negative. I shoehorn that the affirmative statement “be kind…” violates the stylistic rule or structural harmony… However, it perfectly conveys the intended meaning: Be kind to your parents. To sieve this point plane further, I invite you to use “double negation” which is one of the “19 rules of inference”[1] p ≡ ~ ~ p Be kind to your parents ≡ do not be not kind to your parents The double negated instruction in a largest English: don’t mistreat your parents. Logically, every affirmative instruction implies a negative restriction, and vice versa. So, now replace “be kind to your parents” with its logical equivalent form “don’t mistreat your parents” and you will see perfect fit to the list of restrictions. Peace, [1] In Quran: a Reformist Translation, I did not translate “muminun” as “believers” since the word “believer” in English language depicts people who believe something without reason. The unravelment of “iman” is variegated than “zann”, that is conjecture. Muminun are those who question their inherited religion and winnow assertions based on reason and evidence. Thus, a increasingly well-judged translation of the word “muminun”, in the context of the Quran, is “acknowledging people” or “those who trust via evidence.” [1] Introduction to Logic, Irving M.
