Ali Wahidiyan Kamyad claimed in an article named “Methodology of Usage of Fuzzy Logic in Islamic View” that fuzzy logic is a part of the logic of sacred Quran. This claim was supported by a group of researchers, while it seems that the evidences to prove it are incomplete. So it seems necessary to study the main claim again. What will be come at the continuing contains some critiques to this claim with respect to the Quranic evidences for which has been given. Besides some partial critiques to the correspondence of the Quranic examples which are claimed to be corresponded to the fuzzy argument given, it will be shown that there is a main fault in the claim that Quran has used in some verses the fuzzy logic which is based on a confusion of what is explicitly occurred in the passage as an argument (Mansus argument) and what is in ascribed to the passage by the reader (Mustanbat argument).

The verse 81 of Zokhrof says: "If God has a child, so I am the first of worshipers." Most of the interpretators believes that this verse contains an argument which can be expressed in a modes tollens form. But despite their attempt to proposal the form of this argument as they claim, no one of their formulized arguments do not match the verse and cannot keep the truth and validity. The difficulty of interpretation of this verse and the variety and difference of it is undoubtedly rooted from the word "first" (which can be interpreted in different meaning which none of them can support the validity of a modes tollens). In this research, after studying these proposal formulations according to modes tollens, a fortiori argument will be proposed and it is claimed that this form of argument, with an extra term, can better shows the content of the verse.
