Is there an apparent contradiction in the Quran. In verse 6.163 - the Prophet (saw) says he is the first Muslim: [Quran 6:163] No associate has He; and this am I commanded, and I am the first of those who submit. In verses 2.128-133, the Quran says Hz Ibrahim and his progeny are Muslims: [Quran 2:127] And when Ibrahim and Ismail raised the foundations of the House: Our Lord! accept from us; surely Thou art the Hearing, the Knowing: [Quran 2:128] Our Lord! and make us both submissive to Thee and (raise) from our offspring a nation submitting to Thee, and show us our ways of devotion and turn to us (mercifully), surely Thou art the Oft-returning (to mercy), the Merciful. [Quran 2:129] Our Lord! and raise up in them a Messenger from among them who shall recite to them Thy communications and teach them the Book and the wisdom, and purify them; surely Thou art the Mighty, the Wise. [Quran 2:130] And who forsakes the religion of Ibrahim but he who makes himself a fool, and most certainly We chose him in this world, and in the hereafter he is most surely among the righteous. [Quran 2:131] When his Lord said to him, Be a Muslim, he said: I submit myself to the Lord of the worlds. [Quran 2:132] And the same did Ibrahim enjoin on his sons and (so did) Yaqoub. O my sons! surely Allah has chosen for you (this) faith, therefore die not unless you are Muslims. [Quran 2:133] Nay! were you witnesses when death visited Yaqoub, when he said to his sons: What will you serve after me? They said: We will serve your god and the god of your fathers, Ibrahim and Ismail and Ishaq, one Allah only, and to Him do we submit. So either the Prophet and/or Allah was confused about who was the first Muslim OR we have to believe that Prophet Muhammad was truly Allah's first creation.

Salaam, Starting a thread where you can post anything informative you learn during the days of Muharram that would be beneficial to the entire ShiaChat community - religious or secular.... Hopefully, we can all increase our knowledge this year because there is no knowledge that is not power.
