what are the Reasons to Read the Glorious Quran?

Question

(1) Intimate:

It dares you to disprove it. How? It says that humans can not write a book like this even if they pooled all their resources together and got help also from the spirits. The Quran said this fourteen hundreds years ago and yet no one has been able to disprove it. Billions of books have been written - but not another one like the Quran.

(2) Incorruptible:

It is the only religious sacred writing which has been in circulation for such a long time and yet remains as pure as it was in the beginning. The Quran was kept intact. Nothing was added to it; nothing was changed in it; and nothing was taken away from it ever since it was completely revealed 1400 years ago.

(3) Unsurpassable:

The Quran is God's final revelation to humankind. God revealed the Torah to Moses, the Psalms to David, the Gospel to Jesus, and finally the Quran to Muhammad. Peace be upon all of them. No other book will come from God to surpass his final revelation.

(4) Indisputable:

The Quran withstands the test of time and scrutiny. No one can dispute the truth of this book. It speaks about past history and turns out right. It speaks about the future in prophecies and it turns out right. It mentions details of physical phenomena which were not known to people at the time; yet later scientific discoveries confirm that the Quran was right all along. Every other book needs to be revised to accord with modern knowledge. The Quran alone is never contradicted by a modern discovery.

(5) Your Roadmap for Life and Afterlife:

The Quran is the best guidebook on how to structure your life. No other book presents such a comprehensive system involving all aspects of human life and endeavor. The Quran also points out the way to secure everlasting happiness in the afterlife. It is your roadmap showing how to get to paradise.

(6) God's Gift of Guidance:

God has not left you alone. You were made for a reason. God tells you why he made you, what he demands from you, and what he has in store for you. If you operate a machine contrary to it's manufacture specification you will ruin that machine. What about you? Do you have an owner's manual for you? The Quran is from your function for success lest you fail to function. It is a healing mercy from God. It satisfies the soul, and cleans the heart. It removes doubts and brings peace.

(7) Your Calling Card to Communicate with God:

Humans are social creatures. We love to communicate with other intelligent life. The Quran tells us how to communicate with the source of all intelligence and the source of all life- the One God. The Quran tells us who God is, by what name we should address God, and the way in which to communicate with God. Are these not seven sufficient reasons for reading the Quran?

Answer 1

As-Salaamu Alaikum brother. Excellent points.

Answer 2

1 - The "uniqueness". All books are to a certain extent unique. You have to state more about what would need to be some "categorical" uniqueness.
2 - Incorruptible. I keep on hearing this concept that the Quraan is better than, say, the Bible because the Quraan has never changed. Whilst it is really useful to have an entirely sound base text this doesn't really prove anything. Shakespeare is notoriously shaky in its base text - Harry Potter isn't. Why should I take a firm textual basis as support for religious veracity when I don't take it as support for literary merit.
3 - Unsurpassable. Why? Because it says it is? In that case I say it lies.
4 - Indisputable. See 3 (above).
5.- Roadmap. No reason is offered beyond an assertion that it is a roadmap. "This answer is a roadmap for the afterlife" doesn't make it so.
6. Ditto
7. Ditto

Answer 3

It's a pity that while Muslims have such an Incorruptible: Unsurpassable, Indisputable and pure book, Muslims are always fighting among themselves and killing others in the name of Allah, all because of the same Quran.
Do Muslims truly read that glorious Quran; does it reflect on the behavior of the readers?

I have read all the major religious books ever written; none come close to the 'Old Testament' it's utterly fascinating...the Quran doesn't even come close.

Answer 4

First post a question not a novel and People should read the Quran because a lot of people on here dont seem to know anything about Islam and you shold know stuff about a religion befroe you say you dont believe in it. People shou8ld also read the bible, the Vedas and other holy books.

Answer 5

I was always told that the Bible is the the only true source. Do I believe that ? No. I don't live my life according to a book. I do believe in living a life that reminds me to treat everyone as they would treat me. That does'nt come from a Bible or Quran, it comes from common sense.

Answer 6

The Koran is as flawed as any other book written to buttress a religion, by those who have a self interest in its success.

Ottoman Muslims systematically murder 1.5 million Armenians. It’s believed Hitler got the “genocide” idea from this “successful” Islamic genocide. http://www.armenian-genocide.org/genocide.html

Answer 8

So were you looking for an answer? My answer is to learn about another approach to the god of Abraham. Or at least that's why I read it. But it seemed about the same as Christianity in the long run, so I rejected it outright.

Answer 9

you are the man , i agree 100% . science has proved things recently that the Quraan has proved it 1400 years ago any one wants an example let me know and i will be more than happy to show it

Answer 10

You make it sound like any other holy text book. In other words, that's what they ALL claim. So the only reason would be if I lost a bet, or my mind.

Answer 11

I have read the Quran and have decided that although it offers many valuable insights and proposes many things, I cannot in good conscience abide by some of it's more radical teachings.

Sorry.
