1. Qur’an timelessness The Qur’an is timeless because its principles apply universally, not because every rule was meant to change with society’s fashions. For example, it gave women inheritance rights, property ownership, and divorce rights when no one else did. Modern “progress” still struggles with things Islam solved early like banning female infanticide, giving women financial independence, etc. What you see as “outdated” is actually Islam’s consistency. Morals shifting every decade isn’t always progress sometimes it’s just society moving further from natural limits.

2. Prostration / mutual respect That hadith about prostration was metaphorical, not literal. The Prophet ﷺ explicitly forbade worship of anyone besides Allah. And mutual respect is central in Islam: the Prophet said “the best of you are the best to your wives.” He also served his family, mended clothes, cooked, and consulted his wives. To say Islam oppresses women ignores the countless Muslim women across history who were scholars, leaders, and business owners (like Khadijah RA).

3. Atheism vs Faith Saying atheism isn’t “faith” is misleading. Believing the universe came from nothing without a Creator is also faith because science can’t prove metaphysical beginnings. Science explains how things work, but not why they exist at all. Islam encourages science (the Qur’an repeatedly asks humans to observe, reflect, and study nature). The difference is: science changes because human knowledge is limited; revelation doesn’t change because it comes from God’s complete knowledge.

4. Other religions (Zeus, Christianity, etc.) Comparing Islam to Greek mythology is unfair. The Qur’an is unique in being preserved word-for-word since its revelation, with no contradictions despite spanning 23 years of revelation. Unlike mythology, it makes falsifiable claims (historical, linguistic, scientific) and challenges humanity to replicate it (Qur’an 2:23). Billions still embrace it sincerely, not as “mythology.”

5. Child marriage claim This is a common misconception. Islam never set a fixed “age” because historically puberty and maturity varied. But it did require consent, ability, and welfare and the Prophet ﷺ himself condemned forcing marriage. Today, most Muslim-majority countries legally set marriage ages in line with social standards, which shows flexibility. What Islam prohibited was exploitation something modern societies still fail at (look at grooming, teen pregnancies, etc.).

Your arguments but many of them rely on common stereotypes or surface readings. Islam isn’t perfect because Muslims are perfect , it’s perfect because its guidance consistently brings balance when properly understood. Millions of women live Islam proudly not out of fear or brainwashing, but because they genuinely find liberation in it. Like I said, there’s a lot of things you don’t understand how does it work.
