can't the quran be questioned at all ?

Question

The reason is the adherants of the religion belive its unquetionabe, unfalible how can that be if in realsence quran is to correct the sinners .How does a sinner gent the sence of things if he is not even allwed to quetion the authenticity of a statement that is corect in the sinners mind.

Answer 1

it is a means of brain washing but as it does notradict itself it is also convusing and can be used to claim any thing.

Answer 2

Not unless you prefer to eat the Menu (Quran) instead of Dinner (personal experience). Being a product and not the process doesn't impress me. It's superficial, imitative and cheap. Any method or technique however worthy and desirable, can become a disease if the mind is obsessed with it. That is why you have a bunch of de-sensitized robots running around killing each other in the name of Allah, God or whatever.

Remember that to "sin" actually means, "to miss the mark" or to
"miss the point" The root word of sin comes from the Greek "antinomic" or "anomia".

You should be fortunate that your not living in an area where your surrounded by a bunch of extreme fundamentalist (Christian or Muslim) You would either be ostracized, condemned, or ex-communicated for challenging authority with questions. They see it as a threat.

The Spirit gives life, the Letter kills.

Stay away from extreme fundamentalists if you want to think, act and experiece life for your self. If you want to read the Bible or Koran, approach with a discerning mind and discretion. Absorb what is useful, and reject what is useless. Add what is specifically your own. Research your own experience. AGAIN...Avoid eating the menu instead of the dinner. Too much knowledge will only lead to a regirgitation of undigested experience. Talking the talk, but not walking the walk. The height of cultivation runs to simplicity. Keep it simple with daily decrease, not increase. Eliminate, not accumulate.

Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do.

Hopefully this will unclog a few obstacles in your approach to your inquiring and questioning the mysteries of life or any holy book.

Walk on bravely......

Answer 3

Salam (Peace),

Yes, it can be questioned inside out and people have been exploring it since centuries. However, there is a subtle difference between questioning for finding answers (and utlimately the truth) and questioning for criticism. In its own words:

"We (God) have made this Quran easy to understand so is there anyone who cares?"

While no body can stop anyone from criticising, if you do it loudly and untactfully you will end up hurting lot of feelings. This may not sound very rational but think about it, that's how most humans function - easily hurt when something dear to them is bad-mouthed.

Seek and you will find.

Regards

Answer 4

Christians believe the same thing about the Bible.

If you question the "adherants" of the Quran, you must, in all fairness, question the "adherants" of the Bible.

(Never be afraid to test the truth. You'll either get the right answer anyway, or you'll find out that the truth isn't really the truth. Either way, you're better off.)

Answer 5

Interesting generalization there by the Last Ent Wife but as with most generalizations, it is ignorant and meaningless.
Any kind of debate is welcome on the Quran and of course you are free to think as you may. You can raise any questions that come to your mind about the Bible, Quran or the Bhagwat Geeta- it is after all questions that lead to better comprehension.
I hope this helps.

(And Ent Wife, no one is allowed to make additions to the Quran and there are always healthy debates going on around the world between Muslims and non-Muslims who have questions about it. Try not to comment on something about which you have no knowledge.)

Answer 6

Of course you can question it. It's in human nature to question things. However you should research the subject and see why the Quran says something and you beleive something else. For example lets take the law of chopping off a limb if someone steals. This may sound barbaric but does it work?

Burglary stats:

United States: 2,099,700
United Kingdom: 836,027
Saudi Arabia: 11

So you see it reduces crime significantly. Not only this but also we do not have to pay from our tax money to build more prision or to feed the prisioners etc.

I agree it should be questioned and researched.

Answer 7

You should question the Quran. It actually says to use reason and logic to understand it. There are many studies testing the truth of the Quran. Whoever told you it cannot be questioned is wrong.

Answer 8

Maybe not by Muslims, but certainly by anyone who is studying it from a scientific point of view. I studied it extensively, reading two separate translations from cover to cover, as well as numerous supporting materials and also attended novice classes. I found some errors, including one which is so serious that it has been the bane of Arabic society for years. See also reference.

Answer 9

All religious doctrine is subject to question, and there is nothing wrong with that. You should try to do it in a respectful manner however.

Answer 10

Just like some Christians who believe that the bible cannot be questioned (interrogated) there are some Muslims who think so. I will not believe anything that can't be questioned!

Answer 11

Allah
Mohammad
