so what do you think

Answer 1

I'm a Muslim (a convert from Christianity).
First of all, the Qur'an does not claim to be the words of men (or a man), whether inspired or not. It claims to be the literal, word for word speech of God Himself, and offers evidence for it's claims. Secondly, it is perfectly preserved, through massive parallel chains of memorization passed on from generation to generation (a practice alive and well today - with tens or hundreds of thousands of Muslims around the world who have memorized the entire book), and in writing, since the time it was revealed.Even Christian and Jewish orientalists admit that it is uncorrupted.
Those who doubt the Qur'an claim it was written by Muhammad, but it is well known that he was illiterate, like the vast majority of people of Arabia at that time. What we do know about him is that he was known for his honesty and good conduct, to the extent that he was nicknamed 'Al-Amin' - the trustworthy, and called upon to arbitrate in the bitter disputes between the Arabs. A person does not spend the first forty years of his life gaining a reputation as an honest man, then suddenly begin to perpetrate the biggest lie in the history of mankind. We know that he kept away from idolatry, adultery and all the other evils of his time, and chose to worship only the God of Abraham, his forefather. Besides, how does an illiterate man compose what is acknowledged as the most beautiful work ever produced in the Arabic language ? Actually it goes further - the Qur'an challenges anyone to produce a chapter like it. The Arabs were excellent poets and knew how to use their language well, but none were able to match the depth, power and beauty of the Qur'an. This is not a subjective evaluation. Arabic is divided into 16 forms (called "bihar") - one for speech, one for poetry, and so on. The Qur'an fit into none of these forms. In other words, it was a completely new pattern, it defied linguistic classification, and at the same time moved men to tears, and sometimes to embrace Islam, merely upon hearing it's sublime words. This is just one aspect of the miracle of the Qur'an. It also contains explicit, precise prophecies which have come to pass, and information about scientific and natural phenomena, such as the development of the human embryo, which have only recently come to be known in the light of modern instrumentation and techniques. There is too much to mention on this topic, but you can find more at: http://thetruereligion.org/modules/wfsection/index.php?category=7

Answer 2

THE BOOK OF THE HOLY
GOD
(AL-QURAN)

The Revelation___ revealed to the Prophet__ is Al-Quran. The contents whereof are, doubtlessly, truthful. It is a living Scripture__ which provides instant guidance__ for every problem. Whosoever is desirous to seek guidance to the Straight Path___ he should, immediately, consult this Scripture. Manner of consultation is, however highly important.

The person who is desirous to consult the Holy Quran__ should be at first__ in a neat and clean condition___ like those of the pious-ones. Then, he should sit in solitude__ and solemnly pronounce:-

“I take refuge in my Lord, One and Alone God of all, against Satan and his trickery. O’Lord, You are the Beneficent and the Merciful and the Almighty God. Lead me towards the Right path, the path of those whom you blessed, not of those, whom you cursed.”

Thereafter, he should open the Holy Quran. He will find the requisite guidance__ by the Grace of our Gracious Lord__ on the opened page__ in clear & vivid terms of the Verses.

Beware please! It is an open and oft-repeated offer of the Lord__ that whosoever will seek guidance__ from the Lord__ the Lord will guide him__ definitely. So, those who are ambitious for direct guidance__ they should resort to the Lord__ through the Holy Quran__ directly.

Holy Quran is the Scripture for all__ and all times__ till the Day of Resurrection. Rather, even after that__ as the reward or retribution of the deeds__ will be given according to the laws of Quran. So__ Quran is for all times__ and for the whole mankind__ irrespective of the caste, colour__ and creed. The man as a man__ or the mankind as the most glorified creature of the Lord___ is the central addressee of the Holy Quran. According to the Holy Quran__ whosoever commits the following wrongs___ he can not be held as worthy of the title of “man.”

1.The one who tell lies.

2.The one who does not honour his words/pledges/promises.

3.The one who does not ensure justice.

4.The one who does not safeguard his character.


5.The one who earns his livelihood by unfair means.

6.The one who leads a lustful life.

7.The one who usurps the rights of others.

8.The one who prefers the world upon Hereafter.

9.The one who is not thankful to the Lord, his God.

10.The one who does not seek forgiveness for his or her sins from the Lord Al-Mighty.

But__ whosoever avoids these wrongs__ he is positively worthy of the title of “man”. The Law of the Lord__ in this regard__ is very simple and clear. The Lord does guide such people__ who seek guidance from the Lord__ just in terms of the Humanity. “God Also helps those who help themselves.”

Guidance from the Lord should, therefore, be always sought__ sincerely and wholeheartedly. No pretension or contradiction__ in words and deeds__ is allowable in the kingdom of the Lord. Because such a condition__ may lead to a disaster__ in the world as well as the Hereafter.

Beware please! A neat and clean thing__ is always kept in a neat and clean place. Same is the case of a neat-hearted and clear-headed person. The person__ who leads a pure and pious life__ will be definitely chosen by the Lord__ for positive reward__ in the world as well as Hereafter. So__ kingdom of Heaven is a place meant for__ the pure and pious alone. It is not meant for___ the impure and impious, at all.

Holy Quran tells us about the true believers of the Lord. The true believers of the Lord__ do speak of the Lord__ in terms of the prediction of Jesus. Praise be to the Lord__ these true believers/servants/Muslims of the Lord__ are speaking of the Lord__ with reference to the Lord’s Absolute Oneness or Monotheism__ for the last 1415 years__ or even more, persistently. The followers of Jesus__ should positively recognize them __ and their mission__ the both__ as that is the standing demand from Jesus, himself__ in terms of his prayer on the cross__ the psalm-22.

Answer 3

lost myattention when he said there were monumental errors in the Bibel which I have read and while there are a few small irrelivant places where a case for this might be argued certainly there are no monumental errors.

If your author is going to glibly make false statements then how can I believe any of it.

I'm reading the Qur'an for myself.

Note there are truthes written in the Bible that were unknown to man b4 the 20th century also.

Answer 4

No, it is not a good book. It starts by saying that the quran has been around for the last 1400 years. The world has been here for 6000 years. If you listen to Dr. Kent Hovind he makes alot of sense about the qurans theory on science and evolution.

Answer 5

The link provided reminds me of the argument for Biblical inerrancy:

"We know that the Bible is the inerrant word of God because the Bible tells us that it is the inerrant word of God."

ALL religions are human constructs. Any revelation by Deity is applicable only to the receiver simply because once it is received it is filtered through the receivers very human consciousness and all humans are fallible.

Answer 6

Answer 8

It's as good as any other book written to guide a group ....

All paths lead to the same destination. Where is your LOVE?

Answer 9

Quran 21: 33 "And the Sun and Moon; both of them Swim (float) along in its own course." this comparison is false, the sun's orbit is nothing like the moons orbit Your OWN quote says ITS OWN COURSE...

Answer 10

Sacred scripture of Islam, regarded by Muslims as the infallible word of God, revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. The book, first compiled in its authoritative form in the 7th century, consists of 114 chapters (surahs) of varying length, written in Arabic. The earliest surahs call for moral and religious obedience in light of the coming Day of Judgment; the ones written later provide directives for the creation of a social structure that will support the moral life called for by God. The Qur'an also provides detailed accounts of the joys of paradise and the terrors of hell. Muslims believe that the God who spoke to Muhammad is the God worshiped by Jews and Christians but that the revelations received by those religions are incomplete. Emphasis on the stern justice of God is tempered by frequent references to his mercy and compassion. The Qur'an demands absolute submission (islam) to God and his word, and it serves as the primary source of Islamic law. It is regarded as immutable in both form and content; traditionally translation was forbidden. The translations available today are regarded as paraphrases to facilitate understanding of the actual scripture.
