WHAT IS "THE QUR'AN"?
The Holy Book of Allah, the Qur'an, is not the work of a man, nor is it the collected thoughts or opinions of wise men through the ages. It is the "Word of the Almighty God (ALLAH)", the Creator, The Lord of the universe. It is the perfect revelation to mankind. Though called and treated as a book, the Qur'an is not a book in the ordinary sense of the word. It is neither a treatise nor a dissertation on a particular theme; nor it is a book on religion.
Its overall style and organization of the matter basically differ from the other religious scriptures. It is unique, the only one of its kind in the whole world.
WHAT DOES IT DEAL WITH?
The subject matter of the Qur'an is "man" (human beings) and it discusses those aspects of his life which lead to his REAL success or failure. The central theme that runs through the Qur'an is the exposition of "Reality" with the aim of inviting human beings to the Right Path.
Its purpose is not simply to inform or to convince but to mould and transform. As such, it tries simultaneously to inform, to persuade, to convince and to motivate and mobilize men and woman to fulfill their mission in life.
A GREAT HUMAN NEED
God, after creating the human race, has not just left them without any direction. If the loving Creator has provided air, water and food for physical existence and growth, He has also provided guidance for the moral, social and spiritual existence and development. The Qur'an is but Divine Guidance to mankind - guidance in the widest sense of the world.
O! Mankind surely to you has come the sermon (message/remembrance), which is healing for the diseases of the Heart, and is the guidance and blessing for the Believers (10:57)
How can anyone know for sure what is the "Reality"? How can anyone have the unquestionable knowledge of the ultimate values to which human behavior should confirm? Certainly not through the instinct, habit, intuition, reason or experience and not through the resources of guidance developed by man himself through the ages (mythology, philosophy, science, history, law etc.) which are too subjective and too limited, and are misleading. Divine Guidance is the greatest human need.
Surely the judgment (deen) in Allah's sight is Islam (Allah's Islam), But those who were given the book strayed away and repelled after the knowledge had come to them out of enimity,and whoever doesn't believe in His Ayyats ...then Allah is the strictest judge (3:19)
Has the language and style that cannot be imitated by human beings. It has stood as a challenge to the literary ability of mere mortals. It is a living miracle revealed to the Prophet.
Has been preserved in its exact original form as it was revealed , not a word added or removed. This is a historical fact beyond any doubt. Millions of Muslims, the world over, know its text by heart.
Has always been in the hands of the people and was never a property of clergy or a section of the society.
APPROACH TO THE QUR'AN
Every discipline has its own demands. So has the Qur'an. Anyone who wants to really understand the message of the Qur'an, whether he actually believes in the Book or not, will be able to get the best results if he approaches it:
With an open mind, putting aside all the pre-conceived notions, bearing in mind the nature of this Book and its uniqueness, and in a spirit of reverence, and not with casual treatment given to any ordinary book.
This is the Book; In it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who are God-conscious. (2:2)
This Qur'an will guide to that which is most upright, and promises the believers who do good works, a rich reward; And threatens those who believe not in the Hereafter, with a grievous penalty. (17:9,10)
So, Don't the people Ponder in the Qur'an, Or do they have locks on their Hearts. (47:24)

This is a hot button for too many in this world. I am a Christian and I have chosen the Holy Bible. I will not chose the Qur'an because it is not suitable with my faith.

you are wrong my friend, Quran is suitable for all, you know bible and Quran are the book of the messengers of Allah, if you choose real bible you will read that there is no god, But Allah, oh i forgot, you can't read a real bible because the real bible is no more in the world now only Quran is remain and will remain till the end of the world. you know, the remaining bible has modified by the people, not God, so how can this suitable for the real faith? please dont misunderstand me, you have a right to choose you faith...

So how is it different then any other "book of God". They all say they are the word of God. Some how I doubt God, no matter what you call him/her, actually physically wrote each and ever letter of each and every copy. I'm talking about all such books not just the Qur'an. They are translated, they are copies, they aren't perfect. I have not had a chance to read the Qur'an although I have read other books of religion. I have a problem with any religion that promotes punishment of anyone who doesn't believe the same thing, like I said that is with any religion. I also have a problem with ones that promote punishment of people instead of love and acceptance. It's not usually faith I have a problem with, it's the organized religion that I do.

m sorry adnan, i'v gone through this discusion, its pointless, and has gone beyond limits, first rule is that u should reply only to those who talk with facts and figures. and your answer should be of the same sort, and just ask Allah for the people who have no respect for themselves and for otheres...
if u want to really do something, do it with the proper way, the way its done by the people whome you follow...

Well, thanks for this discussion, and for all the information. I enjoyed reading this for information alone. I wouldn't believe in a word you have written. I have my own reasons for it:
1. Most of the terrorizing factors in the world arise from Islam.
2. The position of women is terrible. This means if I accept Quran as the truth, I will have to wear a burkha and be obedient to some man. Moreover, I also won't have a soul. Someone told me, only Muslim men have souls, women don't. I also wouldn't have the right to enter a mosque and pray. I would hate such discrimination.
Islam is ok for men, not for women. So, as a woman and also as an anti-terrorism person, the Quran and Islam is not my cup of tea.
Thanks and cheers!
