What do you think about Quran ?

Question

i know that arent many christians that have read the Quran but im just currios to know what non muslim people thing about Quran?

Answer 1

QURAN IS THE ONLY BOOK WORTH READING IN THIS WORLD ... JEWS CHANGED THE BIBLE IN THEIR OWN FROM MONOTEISM (ONLY ONE GOD) TO POLITEISM (MORE GODS , WHICH MAKES GOD ANGRY --- BOECAUSE HE IS ONE AND NO OTHER LIKE HIM) ...THOSE WHO HATE QURAN AND JUDGE BEFORE READING IT WILL GET GODS DISSAPONITMENT ON THEM AND THEY WILL BE CURSED , GOD SAVE US!

Answer 2

Well it's the final book in a trilogy and thusly it gets the worst reviews. If you noticed The final Lord of the Rings movie was hammered for it's multiple endings (despite getting awards). I'm fairly indifferent towards it. It is no more violent than the Torah or Bible. Quite frankly I don't see how Jews or Christians can knock it so hard. Ancient Jews used to stone people for blasphemy and Christians had the Crusade, Inquisition, and the Reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula. They are all violent books if you make them violent.
Bottom line it's another monotheistic religion and has similar principles to the other ones. It's just more rigid.

Answer 3

I'm interested in learning more about Islam for several reasons.

1) Along with Judaism and Christianity, Islam has affected many peoples' lives throughout history.

2) Whether we are Athiest, etc, the fact is that religions have affected every aspect of the history of this world.

3) Current events--meaning terrorism, but also an ever merging world--requires that we try to understand the different perspectives in this world so we can have peace and prosperity.

I've added several Muslims to my Contacts list, and I'm learning a lot. I also have a Muslim friend in "real life". This is where I'm about to make some of them upset, maybe.

I've read part of the Qu'ran. It seemed to me that Mohamed truly did start his days as a prophet by truly passing on the message of God. Meaning--even for Athiests--that his intent was pure and he was passing on messages that can be considered to come from the same source that Judaism, Christianity and Islam all draw from. Whether you believe in God or not, there is obviously an underlying message behind the three religions that is pure.

1) Place God above all else
2) Treat others as thyself

I think most Jews, Christians and Muslims would agree with at least those two basic concepts. In fact, I would say that the 10 commandments can be boiled down to those two.

So, in my opinion Mohamed started out passing along such messages. Over time, I think it came to a point where if Islam was to exist and thrive, it would obviously be necessary to actively fight, so that message was infused.

That's when I stopped reading. (Which admittedly limits my understanding of the Qu'ran.) If anyone--Jew, Christian or Muslim--truly believes in God, I don't see how they can infuse their religion with excuses for war and violence. Osama is the worst case scenario of such an illogical religious stance, but to argue for voilence at all makes the entire religious message impure, the way I see it.

For instance, if I were to write a personal belief system of my own, it would by definition be an ideal. I would write in that I would never want to hurt others. In reality, if I wake up and a psychotic person is standing outside the door of my child's bedroom, I won't hesitate to kill that person. But that's because I live in a secular world full of all types of people. I wouldn't write into my idealistic belief system that I should go out and kill people to further my own belief system.

So, I think that's where it lost me, even as a belief system.

To be fair, parts of the Old Testament are just as bad. I do think Jesus is one of the only people in history to consistently give a pure message of peace. Which is probably why Muslims also respect him as a prophet, and why most Jews would consider him a good example, if not the Messiah.

In other words, I think the Qu'ran has good intent, but isn't perfect as Muslims would have us believe. I think the Bible does a much better job of staying on message. (Athiests would argue that this is because Jesus is a made up literary figure. Whatever. Point is, the message in his name stays pure, if you only go by what he says).

For the record, I was raised in a Christian society and in a family that--although we didn't attend church--had values based on Christian teaching. And, I've read the entire Bible. So, my views are obviously biased in that directly from the outset, even though I'm not a holy roller.

Answer 4

I've barely read any of it, but I know that it is based on earlier Jewish and Christian books, and has some stuff in it that just won't fly in the 21st Century, like permitting the beating of a woman... but "only if she misbehaves". I would like to know more about it though - simply for the sake of my own education, and I would like to hear it in the original language, and not a translation (with an annotated translation available so I knew what it meant).

Answer 5

The Quran is a book that was written to give its people strength during a time of incredible hardship and persecution. Is it the words of God? Who knows?

Answer 6

The apostle John warned: “Beloved ones, do not believe every inspired expression, but test the inspired expressions to see whether they originate with God, because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.” (1 John 4:1) So we need to be careful. The Quran is one of those Books.

Answer 7

Like the bible it is another book that can be interpreted in many ways. You can find peace or love war or hate. That being said all of these books are garbage.

And to whomever said they would only read the bible that is the type of blind ignorane which creates more of us atheists

Answer 8

It is impossible to say that Quran is written by muhammad (peace be upon him) as he was unable to read. how could he create such beautiful words. there is no one in this world able to challenge the arrangement of words and sentences in the Quran as it is from God. he jz spread the content of the quran to the others....the content is from God and Muhammad jz act as His messenger...

Answer 9

Read as much as I could stand.
Same as with the Book of Mormon.
Both the Quran, and the Book of Mormon, plagiarize the Bible.

Answer 10

It is like the bible, but better, since I have not read it in the original.

Answer 11

The NT is a plagiarisms of the Old. The Old is a plagiarism of Akkadian law and Gilgamesh myth.
