Does anyone else question the legitimacy of the Quran?

Question

I dont believe in the Quran and think that it was the invention of a horn dog named Muck-hammed.

Answer 1

I wouldn't say it with such disrespect, but I question anyone that smears my faith. Jim

Answer 2

The koran is not from the same God who gave us the Bible. In the koran muhammad is given permission to do what would be adultery if any other man did it (33:50). The real God's rules are the same for us all, so allah cannot be the real God, and muhammad was not a real prophet.There are many other examples of things the koran approves of that the real God said were evil, things like genocide and bearing false witness. Reading the koran made me an enemy of islam because Islam is an enemy of the true God.
Jesus, not allah, is akbar.

Answer 3

Some of the believers behavior makes me think you're right. Here's an excerpt from a book by sam harris. But I think it also applies to Islam.

Billions of people share the belief that the creator of the universe wrote (or dictated) one of the many holy books. While religious tolerance is surely better than religious war, tolerance is not without its problems. Out fear of provoking religious hatred has rendered us unwilling to criticize ideas that are maladaptive. It has obliged us to lie to ourselves—repeatedly and at the highest levels of discourse—about the compatibility of religion and scientific rationality. Our competing religious certainties are impeding the emergence of a viable global civilization. Religious faith—faith that there is a God who cares what His name is called, faith that Jesus is coming back to earth—is on the wrong side of an increasing war of ideas. Unfortunately, there are many books that claim divine authorship, and they make incompatible claims to divine authorship; and they make incompatible claims as to how we MUST live. Competing religious doctrines have shattered our world into separate moral communities, and these divisions have become a continual course of human conflict.

Answer 4

WIth Islam in an expansionist phase, they seeking new converts any way they can. I am not concerned so much what goes on in Saudi Arabia since I don't live there. I worry about the civil rights of non-Muslim minorities in Iran and other countries.

I do not question the Koran so much as that I expect Muslim immigrants to Canada, Australia, Europe, the U.K. and America to respect that they HAVE CHOSEN to live in a Western culture. There will be women in bikinis on the beach. There will be gay couples walking around. There will be mixed races and women arm-in-arm with men, working, driving cars, choosing their husbands, etc. People have freedom here. If you want to make your wife walk in a veil, barefoot, three feet behind you, why are you here? Why do you get upset that a woman would sit by you on the bus? Why do you think that dogs are dirty? People drink, they go out to clubs, they listen to secular music, they eat what they want. This is our culture.

Answer 5

Well, considering

[010:037] And this Qur'ân is not such as could ever be produced by other than God (Lord of the heavens and the earth), but it is a confirmation of (the Revelation) which was before it [i.e. the Taurât (Torah), and the Injîl (Gospel)], and a full explanation of the Book (i.e. the laws decreed for mankind) – wherein there is no doubt – from the Lord of the 'Âlamîn (mankind, jinn, and all that exists).

[010:038] Or do they say: "He (Muhammad [Peace Be upon Him]) has forged it?" Say: "Bring then a Sûrah (chapter) like it, and call upon whomsoever you can besides God, if you are truthful!"

[010:039] Nay, they have denied the knowledge whereof they could not comprehend and what has not yet been fulfilled (i.e. their punishment). Thus those before them did deny. Then see what was the end of the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong doers)!

[010:040] And of them there are some who believe therein; and of them there are some who believe not therein, and your Lord is the Best Knower of the Mufsidûn (evildoers and liars).

[010:041] And if they deny you, say: "For me are my deeds and for you are your deeds! You are innocent of what I do, and I am innocent of what you do!"

Peace Be With You

Answer 6

The Quran is necessary reading, just like "Mein Kempf" was necessary reading for Jews living in Germany in the 1930's. It's imperative that we know who and what we're dealing with.

Answer 7

Yes

Answer 8

Muhammad can't come up with the Quran for these several reasons:

1) he was known by his people before becoming a prophet by two nick name. Al-sadik (the one who speaks the truth) and Al-amin (the trust) he can't lie.

2) Muhammad can't read or write, no way he could read the Bible neither the Torah, and no way he could write the Quran in that unique language.

3) God words collected in a book called Quran, muhammad words collected in a book called Hadith. if you compare the two books it's a big difference, they are not the same identity.

4) what's more truth than your God is only one?

Answer 9

I do not question the legitimacy of the Quran for that would imply the possibility that it is legitimate.

Answer 10

The quaran is without a doubt a valid book of religious practices far from Christ.
