ArchivedTo whom did Peter deny knowing Jesus?Dude, I am not. It is speaking of two differnt events. What's so hard to understand about that
First event
42 And when the angels said to Mary: 'Allah has chosen you and purified you. He has chosen you above all women of the worlds.
43 Mary, be obedient to your Lord, prostrate and bow with those who bow.'
44 This is from the news of the unseen. We reveal it to you (Prophet Muhammad). You were not present when they cast their quills to see which of them should look after Mary, nor were you present when they were disputing.
45 When the angels said: 'O Mary, Allah gives you glad tidings of a Word (Be) from Him, whose name is Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary. He shall be honored in this world and in the Everlasting Life - and he shall be among those who are close.
46 He shall speak to people in his cradle and when he is aged, and shall be among the righteous.'47 'Lord,' she said, 'how can I bear a child when no human being has touched me?' He replied: 'Such is the Will of Allah. He creates whom He will. When He decrees a thing, He only says: "Be," and it is.
48 He will teach him the Book, the Wisdom, the Torah and the Gospel,
49 to be a Messenger to the Children of Israel, (saying): "I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. From clay, I will create for you the likeness of a bird. I shall breathe into it and by the permission of Allah, it shall be a bird. I shall heal the blind, and the leper, and raise the dead to life by the permission of Allah. I shall tell you what you ate and what you store in your houses. Surely, that will be a sign for you, if you are believers.
Second event : when he showed up to give her the baby
17 We sent to her Our Spirit (Gabriel) in the resemblance of a perfect human.
18 (And when she saw him) she said: 'I take refuge in the Merciful from you! If you are fearful.'
19 'I am the Messenger of your Lord,' he replied, 'and have come to give you a pure boy.'
20 'How shall I bear a son,' she answered, 'when I am not touched by a human and not unchaste?'
21 “Even so” he replied, “as such your Lord has said: ’Easy it is for Me. And We shall make him a sign to mankind and a mercy from Us. It is a matter decreed.’”
22 Thereupon she carried him, and retired to a far- off place.
23 And when the birth-pangs came upon her by the trunk of a palm-tree, she said: 'Oh, would that I had died before this and become a thing forgotten!'
It's clear man, I find no problem seeing it's speaking of two events. I'm not trying to be rude but since you don't understand Arabicliteratue and how it really works you are not qualified to claim you understand it. Arab Christians never argue about those so called contradictions because they understand it clearly when they read it. You only find people talking about contradictions when they are non arabic speakers. If they want to prove the Quran false this way then they need to learn arabic before they speak.
