Indeed, associating divinity with Jesus is decried as blasphemy in the Qur'an time and again. ([[Isa al-Masih (Jesus Christ)|''read more'']])}}</option> | ||
<option weight="1">{{Pictorial-Islam|1=Geocentrism and the Quran|2=[[File:Geocentrism2.jpg|210px|link=Geocentrism and the Qur'an]]|3=The Qur'an says that both the sun and the moon swim or float in a rounded course, or perhaps in a celestial sphere or hemisphere (a 'falak' in the Arabic). It seems that Allah brings the sun from the east, it goes high above the Earth and ends after sunset with the Sun going to a resting place. All this took place around an Earth that was spread out and had a firmament of seven heavens built without pillars that can be seen above it. This was a common belief in the region at that time and can be found earlier with the Babylonians, ancient Hebrews, the Assyrians and numerous other cultures in the region.

<option weight="1">{{Pictorial-Islam|1=Wife Beating in Islamic Law|2=[[File:A scene from submission.jpg|210px|link=Wife Beating in Islamic Law]]|3=Wife-beating is supported by the teachings of Islamic religious texts such as the Qur'an and the Hadiths. Prophet Muhammad provided tacit approval of wife beating by not scolding Muslims for beating their wives, referred to women who spoke-out against abuse as "not the best among you", forbid Muslims from questioning men who beat their wives, allowed others to hit his wives (the very women whom all Muslims adore and refer to as "the Mother of believers"), reaffirms the command of wife-beating in his parting sermon, and himself struck one of his wives in the chest. In addition to Muhammad's actions, three of the four Rightly-Guided Caliphs also beat women. ([[Wife Beating in Islamic Law|''read more'']])}}</option> | |||
<option weight="1">{{Pictorial-Islam|1=Aisha's Age|2=[[File:Muhammad and Aisha freeing chief's daughter.jpg|165px|link=Aisha's Age]]|3=Aisha (‘Ā’ishah, c. 613/614 –c. 678) or عائشة, (also transliterated as A'ishah, Aisyah, Ayesha, A'isha, Aishat, or Aishah) was married to Muhammad at the age of 6 or 7, and the marriage was consummated by Muhammad, then 53, at the age of 9 or 10 according to numerous sahih hadiths. Due to concerns about child marriage this topic is of heavy interest in the apologetic literature and public discourse. | |||
Marriage at a young age was not unheard of in Arabia at the time, and Aisha's marriage to Muhammad may have had a political connotation, as her father Abu Baker was an influential man in the community. Abu Bakr, on his part, may have sought to further the bond of kinship between Muhammad and himself by joining their families together in marriage via Aisha. Egyptian-American Islamic scholar, Leila Ahmed, notes that Aisha's betrothal and marriage to Muhammad are presented as ordinary in Islamic literature, and may indicate that it was not unusual for children to be married to their elders in that era.

<option weight="1">{{Pictorial-Islam|1=Islamic Views on the Shape of the Earth|2=[[File:Flat Earth The Wonders of Creation.jpg|165px|link=TIslamic Views on the Shape of the Earth]]|3=Islamic scriptures imply, adhere to, and describe a flat-Earth cosmography (arranged in a geocentric system) which conceives of the earth as existing in the form of a large plane or disk. While some early Islamic authorities maintained that the earth existed in the shape of a "ball", such notions are entirely absent in the earliest Islamic scriptures. | |||
Nonetheless, as knowledge of the Earth's spherical form has existed to greater or lesser degree since at least classical Greek (4th Century BCE), it has been frequently argued in recent times that the early scholars of Islam, the first followers of Muhammad, and indeed Islamic scripture itself supported the spherical-earth model, although evidence for these claims is lacking.
