How much of the Muslim life style is derived from the Quran and how much is from cultural tradition % wise?

Question

As a main stream American Christian it's about 50/50. If I was from a different country I would still be Christian but behave and think differently. If I were to live a 100% Christian life style, I would have to be a Monk, or be Amish and live on a farm with nothing but nature and little to no technology. Yet, here I am typing on a computer, driving cars, playing video games, and learning all sorts of stuff on Yahoo Answers. lol. I'm very grateful that no one has been offended by my questions everyone has been very kind helpful and enlightening. I guess the next step after this question is to just read the Quran all ready.

Final note, how do I know if I'm reading an authentic Quran, or do I just trust any publisher who prints it?

Answer 1

it depends on the person, here too, some people are pious and don't sin but equally as many so called christians/ muslims lie steal cheat and kill.

Answer 2

First off the Quran does now not confer with a Book however a MESSAGE. The Message that Jesus introduced. Which isn't the message within the Bible. The bible is the Human interpritation of that message. Jesus was once in no way "Handed the Gospel" HE WAS THE GOSPEL. The jogging speakme message of Allah(SWT) His phrases had been the Injeel. The Injeel isn't the bible. The bible is a ebook of reviews approximately Jesus which were modified and edited again and again. And the Quran makes it transparent that Jesus is NOT the son of Allah. God does now not ought to hunch so low as to procreate. He is a CREATOR He has no ought to Procreate. And the Quran NEVER says that Jesus was once or shall be "resurected" He will go back however it's transparent he has now not died. If you haven't died you can't be "resurected" in the way in which you confer with it. All that stated you're now not asking a query in any respect. You don't desire to listen to the reply. You are ranting, twisting and outright lieing approximately our ebook to take a look at to end up your possess Fataly fallacious ebook. So my Question is that if Christianity is so pleasant why do not you speak approximately how well it's alternatively of attacking anything you recognize not anything approximately. And whether it is one of these pleasant faith why are individuals like myself, raised Devout Christians, strolling to Islam. Because we've got READ each books and there's no assessment. The Quran is logical and lovely and is sensible, The Quran is the whole lot that Allah(SWT) is. The Bible is good..... Human. It is Sad that individuals believe that Christians believe the ought to make faith extra like Attack politics. In Politics so much individuals have the usual experience to peer that if a Politician spends all his time attacking his opponent it's for the reason that he has not anything to present. And in fact with faith it's the equal. If you have got to spend your entire time attacking different faiths it's for the reason that you're too afraid to speak approximately your possess religion for the reason that subsequently individuals will see the reality and run the opposite direction. If you relatively desire to covert individuals this isn't learn how to do it.

You know, you might try the internet. The internet would offer you more translations of the Qur'an so you would be able to get the messege clearly.

Anyways, to answer your main question, I'd say about 90% in general, but 50/50 in the Middle East. All those barbaricness is very un-Islamic, to be honest.

Well, this is a link where you can read the Qur'an in 3 different translations, hope it helps.

Answer 5

After listening to and talking to the Muslims on this site I have unfortunately come to the conclusion that it does matter if their practice is from the Quran or Arabic culture. It is evil and wrong!!!!!! Beware. They want to take over the world and kill Christians and Jews. Beware. They will lie to you.

Answer 6

If you are going to read the Quran, my best advice is to get one with commentary, because the Quran is very hard to understand.

Answer 7

Slapping hoes:

As transcribed by the Honorable Bishop Don Magic Wand Farik Bin-Dolomite, Vol 2, verse 84:

"...and Lo! Brothers I say unto thee, smacketh the hoe if thee are unsure if she haseth thine money or not. Even before thee are certain of it, for surely, each hoe deserves a smack for the shiite they plotteth in their feeble minds. So smacketh, and forgeteth thine deed, for surely, allah is oft forgiving, merciful."

Answer 8

unfortunately,most Muslims follow the traditions rather than their religion
