What do they think of the Quran.

[glo]

I BELIEVE THAT the Quran is the WORD of God (Allah )

Allah says : ( إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ ) = We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption).

اتقوا الله ياعباااااد الله

أسأل الله ان يغفر لنا زلاتنا ويبعد الشيطان عن قلوبنا وأساله ان يثبت قلوبنا على طاعته...
إنه سميعٌ مجيب....

في أمان الله ​

I think we all heard you loud and clear! :giggling:

Since Arabic doesn't translate clearly to English, I would say that that was why they were added. The real (Arabic) Quran doesn't have these parts.

True, I found a paragraph in the introduction that says that this is why they put the words in the parentheses.

I guess I'll need to find a new translation, the parentheses really interrupts the flow of the text. I think I want a translation with running commentary or footnotes. Any suggestions? I'll probably stop at a bookstore today to browse.

To Non Muslims: Who wrote the Koran?

Muslims believe it's Allah's words.

As Non Muslims, of course u ppl dont believe it. Then who do you think wrote the Koran if not God's words?:?

Re: To Non Muslims: Who wrote the Koran?

Then who do you think wrote the Koran if not God's words?:?

Did God use a pencil? Did he use charcol?

Did He write on stone like the 10 commandmants? Or on papyrus like ancient texts???

God's word revealed to his messenger and written by messenger's literate followers.

I mean for u, who wrote it? Muhammad? or someone else? A book must have an author isnt it? Give me names that u think wrothe the Koran.

I never thought about it. I'll say it maybe the word of God (like Snakeleggs said without believing or disbelieving). At this point in my life I feel that if it is the Word of God I don't have to believe in it because I am a Christian. I like to view the religions as being equal in worth and both paths to heaven.

So, God spoke to the prophet (pbuh) and the prophet (pbuh) spoke to some people and the people went away and wrote it down.

And they never made a mistake :?

I hate to say it but I've wondered the same thing. It's like the game of "telephone" you play with several people. Whisper a sentence in someones ear, and that person whispers it into another persons ear, etc....Once you reach the last person you always have a different sentence.

Re: To Non Muslims: Who wrote the Koran?

the Quran was revealed through Gabriel
the fact that the Qur'aan is from Allah is self explanatory to the
perfection of the Qur'aan, as Allah Ta'ala is Himself Subhaan (perfect). The
Qur'aan challenges any one who doubts the authenticity of the Qur'aan to
bring forth a single verse like the Qur'aan. The Arabs of the time of
Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam were experts in Arabic and after
having exhausted every opportunity to de-authenticate the Qur'aan, they
failed. The challenge stood its ground until today and will remain until
eternity.

And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Hmmm... very hard for a Muslim like me to understand this statement.:?

It's probably hard for a lot of Christians to understand the statement as well. I tend to be less hellfire and brimstone and more accepting of other religions. My opinion on who wrote the Koran should in no way reflect what other Christians believe.

the verses revealed is repeated by daily basis by those who memorize it, we Muslims are used to this memorization culture. Plus it's written by those who heard it from the Prophet - this is what we Muslim believe.

Were the literate men who transcribed the Koran considered to have a blessing from God to be error free in their transcription? I guess what I'm asking is why do Muslims believe this. Thanks

Your opinion sound like a Hindu I've met. He said Islam as other religions are the truth. With a true God. But he dont have to be Muslim.

i meant what i said. maybe it is the word of god and maybe it isn't. i don't know and don't really feel the need to believe or not believe.
sorry if this is confusing, but i really don't have a position on it.

their writings are double or triple or more checked by others. It must be something unanimous. Furthermore it's checked by Prophet. Prophet also memorize the whole Koran and checked by Angel Gabriel. God proclaimed he satisfied too. That's what we believe.
