I am a muslim and I always read the Quran, alhamdulellah. It has the best effect on me when I really think deeply of the meanings and try to compare my actions and my life style against what it says. In addition, it calms my soul down and gives me peace and serenity.

long story.one night a long time ago I had fallen asleep with the radio on and that's something I never do for I hate to be asleep and awaken by sounds from a radio or t.v b/c it makes me nervous.well this Sunday morning I was sleeping deeply and in my sleep I could hear this talk and this person on the radio was quoting scripture from the Quran and the bible,the scriptures were so beautiful and deep that I was crying when I finally woke up completely.well that was my first intro. into the Quran.Minister Louis Farrakhan was the speaker and although I had heard of him I never bothered to listen to his speeches.well that sent me on a quest and I read that book from cover to cover a couple of times and that book and the minister taught me how to understands scripture on a much deeper level.I attend Jumah regularly and enjoyed the new knowledge God had blessed me with.I believe that when God has a message for you ,He will get it to you in a way you will accept it.If he has to send it thru a religion that you will listen to then so be it,I do love the holy book and that is why I can't understand the Islam I am seeing in the news today.It's like it's been taken back to olden times when scripture was misunderstood.JMO

I have read much of the Qur'an. It is a VERY good book for teaching certain morals, and making people desire to worship God. There are also parts which have been abused, and have caused great dissention between Muslims and non-Mulsims ( and even between Muslims themselves. That's why there are Shia, Sunni, Wahabi, etc. )
I was first drawn to the Qur'an by claims of "scientific miracles", and investigated all of them thoroughly. A few of them are somewhat interesting, although inconclusive. The rest of these so-called miracles are nothing more than increadible streches of the imagination which are very vague and ambiguous. I was very disappointed, and felt somewhat misled by people who were exploiting my natural curiousity in an attempt to accept Islam as the "true" religion. I am offended by anyone who uses pseudoscience to propogate religion. This includes fundamentalist Christians who go to great lengths to refute modern science with convincing arguments that will easily fool relatively uneducated people. (ie, "the Earth is only about 6,000 years old, and here's the proof")
I understand it is a very popular past-time for Muslims to try to spread Islam by any means possible, and that is why there are so many questions posted by Muslims. Most of them are actually just statements in disguise, which provide links to Islamic website with the intention of stimulating curiousity about Islam.
I remember a part of the Qur'an in which Mohammad instructs Muslims not to argue with Christians and Jews, because it will cause dissention. Nevertheless, Muslims come here and openly refute Christianity. This causes exactly what Mohammad hoped to prevent. I wish the Qur'an was as perfect as Muslims descibe it. If it was, I might have abandoned Christianity. I know now in my heart that I made the right decision by not abandoning Jesus. In fact, the Qur'an has actually made my faith stronger than it has ever been. And for that, I am thankful. I believe God has shown me the truth I was seeking in my desperate hour of need.
Peace!

No, I haven't got the time, otherwise I would. I live for 25,500 days. I read a book every days, Quran is at the bottom of the list. What can it tell me, that the other books can't.

what struck me was how many of the teaching were very similar to the bible
i also found out that the bible is a lot more masognistic, and the suffering islamic women go through in some countries is nothing to do with the quran its about male dominance

i read through it, but did not read it "thoroughly" what i was surprised at was that there were the some of the same people in the quran as there was in the bible...there were other similiarities, i guess where the similiarities end is the bible believes in the prophet Jesus, and the quaran believes in the prophet muhammed...

i read on your profile that you are a new muslima. Mashallah! and Congratulations!..... i converted two years ago and Islam is a beautiful gift to us from Allah. The Quran is the most perfect book given to us by Allah by his messenger Muhammad (saw)... reading it keeps my heart pure.

I have read it, I gained a better understanding of Islam but it didn't convict me like it did you. The Book of Mormon did convict me and so I joined the Mormon church.
