How do you view the Qur'an??

Dear friend, I am a Muslim and I have no doubt that this is the word of one true God. However, I feel it is very wrong for someone to post such an issue here for an absurd discussion. Have you read the book yourself? If not, then how could you pose such a question for public display? If you did read it, do you understand everything in its entirety? Are you yourself a following Muslim? What myths and legends are you talking about? I haven't seen a book so scientifically oriented. Please refer to my previous posts elsewhere where I have taken the liberty to show how scientifically accurate the Quran actually is. Let me just give you a grief overview of what I am talking about really. It is very clearly stated in the Holy Quran that the universe is expanding the day it came into existent. The scientists before the 20th century were of the view that we live in a stable, unchanging universe where nothing expands or shrinks. And mind you, Islam began in the 14th century. Also, it was just recently that we came to the conclusion that the ultimate universe demise and fate would that be of it shrinking again yet into a singularity from where the Big Bang began. Before we used to think that the universe would just keep on expanding to oblivion. Allah (God) has clearly mentioned in the Quran that He would "roll up the heavens like a scroll." Thank you for reading my point of view too. Have a great day!

Hi folks,I have read some of the posts which most of the Anti-Islam people have given here.Some of them have crossed all the limits as before and made personal blames against the final Prophet of God Almighty.This shows that such people have lost reason due to their hatred for Islam. Most of the people donot know that the final Prophet Muhammad(pbuh)was unlettered and illiterate.He could nor read or write but it was a miracle that he memorized whole of this book by heart.This was done by God Almighty that He saved this holy book in his heart at that time and is doing the same to all those Muslims who want to memorize it.There are millions of such Muslims in this world today who have this honour inspite of the fact that Arabic may not be their mother tongue.In the forthcoming Holy month of Ramadan,you can find yourself such Quran Memorizers reciting this holy book without seeing it in the night prayers.What is this?Is'nt it a live miracle of Islam for whole the world to see......??Can you produce a single person in this world who has memorized any Holy book including Bible? Then you will find lot of difference between the language of Quran and the language of our Holy Prophet(pbuh).In fact one God Almighty had given challenge to whole the Arabs to produce even a single verse like the Quranic verses revealed by Him.No one could do it at that time.........and even in this time.......... TO BE CONTINUED............

I'll be perfectly honest and say that Ive never read it myself BUT I still believe that like any religious text, be it the bible, the Qur'an, the Tanakh or whatever...I DON'T think any of them are the actual "word of" any higher power, deity or god etc...

It's hard to say how I view the Quran without feeling angry. I just happened to be viewing it right now and came upon this passage. 9. At-Tawbah - (The Repentance) English Yusuf Ali: [9:111] Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur'an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme.

Personaly i do not believe it to be the word of God!at least it is not the word of the God I worship

Personally I believe that God had to have his hand in it. Why? Because God used Muhammad to reconcile the people who would not listen to other prophets. But I feel that a lot of Muslims take the Doctrine of men over the word of God. Why is it they don't read the scriptures or the Torah? Why do they call Christians and Jews unbelievers when they worship the same God? It clearly says in the Qur'an that all truth will be revealed on the day of resurrection when judgment will come to everyone. On the other hand I am sure there are a lot of Muslims who feel all Christians are idolaters and worship mother Mary and Jesus over God which is the biggest sin according to their own faiths.
