What's the point of saying you follow the Koran if you have to reevaluate it for a 21st century mindset?

Answer 1

It is like the Constitution of the United States. Why do we need to keep looking to it to decide how the laws should apply. We do so because life today is different then life in the 1780's.

This can be applied to the Quran life has changed in the 1500+ years since the Quran was given to Muhammad (pbuh). We must look at what was said and see how it should be applied to today's world.

Answer 2

forget approximately the stupid claims for Christian numbers and look at fact and this is around approximately that now! many human beings in straightforward terms say Christian in answer to surveys to stay away from the intolerance and bigotry that has a tendency to maintain on with. The survey companies comprehend that! The church homes very own figures prepare in straightforward terms 28% who declare to be Christian ever attend church in a 12 months. certainly if 28% ever tried to attend church on a similar day, even working shifts, there is basically no longer adequate church homes! yet count quantity the bars - in many places there is extra area interior the bars than the church homes! count quantity each and every of the seats in each and every church in a city and learn that to the inhabitants and this is rather no longer likely to realize even 5%! this is actual precise in the time of the Bible belt and in Salt Lake city! pass on have the braveness to count quantity the seats! Then attempt attending a provider in each and every church and see how a lot of those seats are empty!

Answer 3

Religions were developed by man to control man and at the time very few people were schooled so fear and superstition was a very effective means of control. Now that many are well schooled they have neglected the practical part of education. Religion still has ignorance to feed on. It still uses fear to control people.

All religions resist change and all eventually have to or not survive. Take a good look at what is happening in the Catholic church. There are some very major changes coming there because if they do not they will not last.

Islam is not different than all the others in the fact that it is man made and will have to be changed to survive.

Answer 4

QURAN is the only WORD OF GOD in ORIGINAL/PURE FORM. Reason is clear in the verse below, that GOD promised to protect QURAN.

[15:9] Absolutely, we have revealed the reminder, and, absolutely, we will preserve it.

The Quranic challenge (since past 1400 years, present and future)

Here are the verses that mention the challenge;


Say, "If all the humans and all the jinns banded together
in order to produce a Quran like this, they could never
produce anything like it, no matter how much assistance
they lent one another." [17:88]


If you have any doubt regarding what we revealed to our
servant, then produce one sura like these, and call upon
your own witnesses against GOD, if you are truthful.
[2:23]


This Quran could not possibly be authored by other than
GOD. It confirms all previous messages, and provides a
fully detailed scripture. It is infallible, for it comes from
the Lord of the universe. If they say, "He fabricated it,"
say, "Then produce one sura like these, and invite
whomever you wish, other than GOD, if you are truthful."
[10:37-38]


If they say, "He fabricated (the Quran)," tell them, "Then
produce ten suras like these, fabricated, and invite
whomever you can, other than GOD, if you are truthful."
[11:13]


Do they say, "He made it all up?" Instead, they are
simply disbelievers. Let them produce a Hadith like this,
if they are truthful. [52:33-34]

Answer 5

perhaps if you do this you can dismiss the various amounts of nonsense contained within and keep for yourself the righteous elements.

religion without reasoning is a shackle and a barrier between you and god remember that...along with the 21st century corruption there is also enlightenment to be found.
the koran, the bible, the gita and all other holy texts were written not by god but by man...do you accept everything written by a man of the same making as you are? does a man know entirely the mind of god...to accept this is to accept nonprogressiveness

Answer 6
