Im gonna say this once for you idiots
The main Muslim objection to Mark 4:31 is that Jesus calls the mustard seed "the smallest of all seeds on earth," but we now know some orchid seeds are tinier.
So, critics say this proves Jesus made a mistake and couldn't have been divinely inspired.
Jesus wasn't giving a botany lesson or claiming absolute scientific truth for every seed on the planet. He was speaking to first-century farmers in Galilee using a common proverb.
For them, the mustard seed was the tiniest one they actually sowed in their gardens — about one millimeter across. Orchids didn't grow there, and no one in that region knew about them. "Smallest of all the seeds on the ground" means smallest among the seeds they dealt with, not the smallest in existence anywhere.
It's like if I said "everyone knows that" — I'm not literally claiming every human on Earth knows it.
It's everyday language, hyperbole for emphasis in a parable.
The point is the Kingdom of God starts tiny but grows huge, just like that seed into a big plant that birds nest in.
The Quran itself uses the mustard seed as a metaphor for something tiny in Allah's sight, like in Surah Luqman and Surah Al-Anbiya — so the image of it being very small is shared, not rejected. This isn't a real contradiction; it's reading modern precision into ancient speech.
