i want names of web sites i can get free English and Arabic Koran?

Answer 1

google "holy quran viewer" the best quran program online. English and Arabic (both in Script and Transliterated).

Answer 2

I'm sure it's quiet easy to find it. But here is the problem, the ONLY one you'll find is the edited version. It has been edited for the Western world so that it will be a better fit. The true and original Quran talks about killing the non believers who are not willing to convert and how a Muslim will go to heaven if they kill in the name of Islam. Good luck.

Anyone who believes otherwise is the ignorant one!! Go get the real version and then we'll see who's ignorant!!!

Answer 3

The best site I know is www.sacred-texts.com. I believe it does have the Koran in Arabic. It has listings for quite a few different religions and spiritual paths.

Answer 4

Here's a good site for starters: http://www.anova.org/sev/ I don't know if the Arabic is there, but at least you will have a scholarly translation into English!

Answer 5

LALA is ignorant... Quran does not say about killing christians or jews they are people of book and are respected... its a propaganda..>!!


its translation of Prophet Muhammad's Letter to St. Monks Catherine!

This is a message from Muhammad ibn Abdullah, as a covenant to those who adopt Christianity, near and far, we are with them.
Verily I, the servants, the helpers, and my followers defend them, because Christians are my citizens; and by Allah! I hold out against anything that displeases them.
No compulsion is to be on them.
Neither are their judges to be removed from their jobs nor their monks from their monasteries.
No one is to destroy a house of their religion, to damage it, or to carry anything from it to the Muslims' houses.
Should anyone take any of these, he would spoil God's covenant and disobey His Prophet. Verily, they are my allies and have my secure charter against all that they hate.
No one is to force them to travel or to oblige them to fight.
The Muslims are to fight for them.
If a female Christian is married to a Muslim, it is not to take place without her approval. She is not to be prevented from visiting her church to pray.
Their churches are to be respected. They are neither to be prevented from repairing them nor the sacredness of their covenants.
No one of the nation (Muslims) is to disobey the covenant till the Last Day (end of the world).

Answer 8

Is Islam Peaceful-I don't think so .A religion that teaches death to all
infadels and Jews or anybody is sure Not of Peace or Love.
The Islamic community has to confront the terrorists in their midst in word and deed, by bringing them to justice and by opposing their interpretation of Islam, if they believe it is not the true interpretation. We call for all Muslims to unmistakenly distance themselves from terrorist acts AND by giving the real meaning of these passages and precedents presented below, to confront and excommunicate those who hold this violent Islam to be the only true Islam.

The below article draws the strongest possible conclusions from the sources, but it deals with the historical sources. Muslims who disagree with the conclusions, need to enter a discussion on those sources that are the foundations of Islam. We are willing to engage in this discussion and link from here to Muslim responses.
However, it remains true, that what follows below exposes the basis for this kind of radical Islam that has shown the world its deadly determination. It is not just in the imagination of some people who "hate Islam".

The webmaster of Answering Islam being author of the introductory paragraphs above and the concluding remarks at the bottom of the page, welcomes your response.


Not so with Islam.

The Muslim "prophet" Mohammed, made a complete break with the Biblical tradition in writing the Koran. He claimed revelations from the god Allah, through the angel Gabriel, to him. Unlike Christianity, which based itself on the Hebrew Bible for legitimacy, Islam saw no need to and, in fact, argues that Jewish scholars corrupted the Hebrew Bible. The Koran repeats in variant form many of the Biblical stories, only with the twist that now the "community of believers", i.e., Muslims, are G-d's people, rather than the Children of Israel. The Koran also incorporates into itself stories from the Christian Testament about Jesus. Thus claiming to be the "final" revelation. This, along with the claim that Mohammed is the final prophet to reveal G-d's - or, in this case, Allah's - will, gives Islam its successionistic triumphalism. This directly impacts on Islam's stance toward the rest of the world today.

Interestingly, there are differences between Judaism, Christianity and Islam in matters of who is an adherent to the respective tradition, and how one converts.

For Judaism, there are two elements, what I would call biological-genetic, or the national element, and spiritual-theological, or the religious element. First and foremost, Jews are a nation, with a language, a homeland, a culture, a history and a shared sense of destiny. One is born Jewish, or one converts. According to Halacha, or traditional Jewish Law, the child of a Jewish mother is Jewish, i.e., biological descent. To convert, there is a process, an ideological element, belief in the G-d of Israel. One then needs to study, accept the truthfulness of the Torah and make a commitment to keep the mitzvot - G-d's commandments to the Jews. As the Biblical Ruth in her conversion process told her mother-in-law Naomi, "Your people shall be my people, and your G-d shall be my G-d." Conversion in Judaism is sort of a naturalization process to citizenship in the nation of Israel, the Jewish People.

Christianity and Islam have a different spin on things.

In Christianity, you merely have to "believe in Jesus Christ as your personal lord and savior." Descent is through either mother or father. The children of Christians are nominally Christians, because they were baptized as an infant, although there is a debate among Christians of different denominations whether someone needs to reaffirm his beliefs as an adult. Christianity is more purely a "faith-based" religion, in that what matters most is proper beliefs. One converts by accepting Jesus and through Baptism.

Islam demands a similar "minimalist" conversion process. Just repeat, "Allah is the only god, and Mohammed is his prophet" and you're in. Descent is through the father. Which is just right for a violent and aggressive expansionist ideology.

It seems to me, that in some ways, Judaism and Christianity are more "feminine", "passive", and "victimhood"-based religions. But they're also the religions that built civilization and the modern world. Whereas Islam, in its aggressiveness, is "masculine", "domineering" and the antithesis of civilization. Let me explain.

Go back in time for a moment to an unspecified past. Islamic hordes go out to rape, pillage and plunder, to conquer in the name of Allah. Islam started out very much as an Arab imperialist movement. In war, the men get killed and the women get raped. If a Muslim grabs and rapes a Jewish woman; according to Islam, the child born is a Muslim, the aggressor's religion. But according to Judaism, the child is Jewish. The same thing happens when the Muslims attack Christendom. When a Muslim grabs and rapes a Christian woman, according to Islam, the child born is a Muslim. The woman might be forced to repeat the Islamic mantra of "Allah is the only god, and Mohammed is his prophet" and be formally converted, but if the woman wants to, she can still secretly adhere to Christian belief, and raise her child as such, because Christianity is "belief-oriented".

There you have it, Islam, the imperialist ideology, with the "who is a Muslim question" perfectly suited for conquest, whereas Judaism and Christianity follow an approach that preserves identity in the face of aggression.

About civilization and its discontents:

Jews and Christians have built Western Civilization. Certainly until the modern period, it wasn't an equal partnership, but one in which Christendom ruled over the Jews in Europe. But, since Christianity gets its entire value structure and some of its theology from Judaism and the Hebrew Bible - aside from the Christological elements - Christianity and elements of Judaism have created the strange symbiosis that is the basis for Western Civilization today. In the modern period, in America, where Jews were never oppressed like they were in Europe, Jews have contributed much more to the project of civilization.

I said "elements of Judaism", because true Judaism in its fullest sense hasn't existed in the last 1,900 or so years. Since the Roman conquest of Judea - i.e., the Israeli nation - the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem and the end of political independence for the Jewish people (and the mass ethnic cleansing campaign suffered at the hands of the Romans, designed to wipe out any memory of the Jews from their own homeland), Judaism has been incomplete.

Exilic Judaism of the last 1,900 years is only a pale variant of a more robust national culture, which is now, with the rise of the State of Israel in modern times, starting to re-awaken and be re-constituted on its native soil. Let me just say that True Judaism is Jewish Civilization lived in its own homeland, the Land of Israel, as an independent polity. Without going deeper into it, such civilization has these four elements: Torah - the Jewish legal system of civil, criminal and religious-ritual law; Nevuah - Prophecy; Kehunah - the Holy Temple and Priesthood; Malchut - Kingdom-Government. True Judaism will be fully operative again in the Messianic era.

In the Torah - part of the Hebrew Bible and fully accepted by Christians - the Book of Genesis (Chapter 22) describes the last of Abraham's ten "tests" that G-d gave him: the story of the Akaida, or attempted "sacrifice" of Isaac, wherein G-d tells Abraham to take his son and bring him to Mt. Moriah - later the Temple Mount - to bring a sacrifice. Abraham, troubled by the idea of sacrificing his beloved child, yet in complete faithfulness to G-d, obeys. He builds an altar, binds Isaac and places him on the altar. He takes out a sacrificial knife to perform the ritual slaughter before sacrifice, raises his hand, and then G-d speaks to him. G-D tells Abraham - Ibrahim in the Koranic version - "Do not harm the boy. Do not do anything to him. For now I know that you are a G-d-fearing man. You have not withheld your only son from me."

In Jewish tradition, Isaac was 37 years old, a grown man, and fully capable of rebelling against his father, but he didn't. Not only did Abraham attempt to carry out the perceived will of G-d, but so did Isaac, in his willing self-sacrifice. This self-sacrifice on the part of Isaac is the paradigm for martyrdom in the Jewish tradition, a willingness to give up one's life for one's beliefs.

In Christianity, the story of Jesus' willing self-sacrifice on the cross parallels, for Christians, the "Isaac story" and establishes the paradigm of martyrdom in Christianity.

Islam has a different take on things.

First, in their insistence that the Torah is corrupted, they claim it was Ishmael, not Isaac, who was "almost" sacrificed". This has important ramifications, since the Arabs and Islam see themselves as "descendents" of Ishmael. Second, they deny that Jesus was crucified.

More importantly, I think that they misunderstand the entire message of the story. In both the Isaac story and the Jesus story, willing self-sacrifice to keep G-d's will, is a passive and personal act. One may claim it is self-destructive, but it certainly isn't destructive of others, and as I said earlier, it is the paradigm of martyrdom to prove one's faith in G-d.

In Islam on the other hand, I believe they identify with Abraham, the person with the outstretched dagger ready to kill. Here is the paradigm of the person who is willing to kill in order to fulfill Allah's will. But it seems the Muslims missed something, G-d told Abraham to stop. G-d restrained Abraham's unbridled willingness to carry out His will at all costs. Islam has perverted the message. It was only a "test"; they've turned it into an ideal. Martyrdom in Islam is to kill and/or be killed, to carry out the will of Allah. It's aggressive, violent and devoid of uplifting moral conviction.

Rapacious murder never has built society, but torn it down. Civilization often requires a bit of hard work and self-sacrifice to develop, but what type of society is it if the sacrifice is always at another's expense?

Jihadist Islam is devoid of any morality, only the submissive desire to carry out Allah's will of rapacious conquest and political subjugation of those in the Dar Al-Harb - the World of Infidels (War), i.e., those not yet occupied and converted. Kill, terrorize, undermine civilization - these are the "acts of worship" for the Islamic barbarians.

One recent example; in a speech broadcast live to his people on "Palestinian" television, Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat ended the speech with a quote from the Koran. "Find what strength you have to terrorize your enemy and the enemy of Allah," he said.

In Christ,
