Sister Muslimah
this is not an argument, unless you classify any science discovery in the Quran as an argument
it is really disappointing to see that Muslims are scared to discuss the Quran, but the Quran siad otherwise, it challenged All Humanity and Jins to find a mistake in it
so if you think that those verses about the Hypocrites, then this will be a mistake, because the arabic words read do not incline that it nis about the hypocrites
and for verse 2:13, here is Ibn Kathir comment:
so Ibn kathir thought it was about the hypocrites, obviously from his Tafsir, while the fact of the matter, is a believer will not know a hypocrite, because a hypocrite is showing that he/she is a believer, comon sense, so assuming I discivered a Hypocrite, so I will tell him come and beleive, like I beleive, so he will tell me no I will not believe as you believe becauise you are fool, come on sister that does not make any sense at all
also sister, the verses are from 8-20 talk about one group of people, so it will make sense that you select only one verse and say it is not refereing to them, and if I agree for argument sake, then whom the rest of the 13 verses refer to?
it is either all 13 verses refer to the hypocrite or not
peace sister
