Does the Quran make sense to you?

Question

Before this question mysteriously gets deleted, does the Quran make sense to you. Do you follow the Quran?

Answer 1

why this question should be deleted, i think it is good question to whom who wants to prove to the people that his religion is right.

Answer 2

I read the Qur'an, as I read the Bible. I find both to be worth reading, and I can learn alot from them..

They both make equal sense----I would not judge one over the other. I accept the Tanakh (what Christians call the OT) in my religion----that does not mean I condemn the NT or the Qur'an. There are just things here that I do not agree with.

Answer 3

Well first of all, I don't find your question offensive. I hope that it does not get deleted.

As to your question, no.

I will approach your question from different angles with examples of the ideology.

1) The Quaran teaches a form of the Torah without commiting to it. They attempt to follow a quasi form of the Law, and I would in fairness refer to the Jews also as attempting to follow another quasi form, as well as some Christians who think that they have to work the Law as well. I think that they are all in error.

2) Did Abraham take Ishmael or Isaac to be sacrificed? I think that it is Isaac. The Muslims believe that it was Ishmael. That's important because God made certain promises to both, and God proved his word to the line of Isaac. He also proved his word to the lione of Ishmael which was;

Genesis 16:12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

The Arabs claim to be the descendents of Ishmael. And we see what we see that is occurring even to this day.

3) The denial of Jesus the Christ. To deny that Jesus is the Christ is something that is talked about in the Bible. It is a form of antichrist behavior that is warned about. They deny that God could even have a Son. Something that is truly ridiculous, after God created everything else! Including humans. What they do not understand is the concept of the 'kinsman redeemer'. Something that God had made an example of in the Book of Ruth.

I do not follow the Quaran. The denial of Jesus as the Christ is too blantant an error to consider it accountable.

Answer 4

I am not a Muslim, but some parts of the Quran make sense to me - the tale of the nativity in Sura Mary is very familiar to me, and if I remember right it is the Sura "The Cow" that retells the story of Moses.

For other parts, I have to resort to websites that offer exegesis (explanations) of the text, and background information on the historical circumstances.

I don't "follow" the Quran per se since I am a Christian and have my own holy texts, but I respect what it means to Muslims.

Answer 5

I do my best to understand the translation of the meaning since I can read arabic, but not understand the words in arabic.

I also try to follow the Qur'an as closely as possible, but I have lots of room for improvement.

Now I'll go through and read all the hate speech and bigots comments in this thread.

Answer 6

In its historical context of a book that tries to lay down rules for a harmonious society in the Middle East around 600 CE...yeah, sure it makes sense. Like the stories in the bible, Mohammed used superstitions about gods and divine influence to give his rules more "weight," to make them seem to the masses that they had god's personal imprint. That provides more motivation for people to follow those rules. The bible does the same thing.

From the perspective of the 21st century, though, we recognize that both the bible and quran are just attempts to rule their respective societies -- and that those rules are based on myth and superstition for which there is no evidence of any kind. If we base our societal rules on reason, logic, and the basic rights of human beings we can have rules for a harmonious society without all the supernatural and mythical baggage. It's time we left all such ancient nonsense behind, stopped behaving like a bunch of local tribes fighting to hold onto our little pieces of land, and became one world community. Both the bible and the quran are detrimental to that effort.

No, I don't follow ancient superstitious tribal rules from thousands of years ago in the 21st century.

Answer 7

It makes complete sense and as a Muslim, I strive in following the holy Quran.

If it doesn't make sense to you, kindly visit www.tafsir.com for an authoritative and comprehensive exegesis (interpretation) of the holy Quran based on the works of one of Islam's greatest scholar of tafsir (exegesis), Imam Ibnu Kathir (God be pleased with him).

Answer 8

Rational Thinking explores Islam, Quran, and Muhammad’s claim to prophethood.
"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction." -Pascal

"Islam is a religion of peace". Or is it? This is what our politically correct politicians keep telling us. But what is politically correct is not necessarily correct. The truth is that Islam is not a religion of peace. It is a religion of hate, of terror and of war.

A thorough study of Quran and Hadith reveal an Islam that is not being presented honestly by the Muslim propagandists and is not known to the majority of Muslims. Islam as it is taught in Quran (Koran) and lived by Muhammad, as is reported in the Hadith (Biography and sayings of the Prophet) is a religion of intolerance, inequality, violence, discrimination, superstition, fanaticism, and blind faith. Islam advocates killing the non-Muslims, abuses the human rights of the minorities and women. Islam expanded by Jihad (holy war) and forced its way by killing the non-believers and the dissidents.

Answer 9

Some sure, a few no. I'd say a couple of sure, so much no. It is dependent upon what's learn. Some is supposed actually, and a few, now not. Like the Bible, one of the crucial Qur'an is supposed actually, and a few, now not.

Answer 10

I follow the Qur'an... I guess you could say that. Basically I do what I think is right, and I think the Qur'an's ideas on what is right are correct, so yeah, I follow the Qur'an. I read it a lot and it makes sense. It helps to know some Arabic. ;)

Answer 11

Yes I follow the Quaran, and it makes perfect sense to me.

On the other hand, those who choose to judge Muslims by false information they get on racist websites and from the Media - Don't actually know what the REAL Quaran is really about.
