(For open minds only) Is Qur'an (Muslims Book) really that Good??.... Read this..?

I'm a Muslim (a convert from Christianity). \nFirst of all, the Qur'an does not claim to be the words of men (or a man), whether inspired or not. It claims to be the literal, word for word speech of God Himself, and offers evidence for it's claims. Secondly, it is perfectly preserved, through massive parallel chains of memorization passed on from generation to generation (a practice alive and well today - with tens or hundreds of thousands of Muslims around the world who have memorized the entire book), and in writing, since the time it was revealed.Even Christian and Jewish orientalists admit that it is uncorrupted.  \nThose who doubt the Qur'an claim it was written by Muhammad, but it is well known that he was illiterate, like the vast majority of people of Arabia at that time. What we do know about him is that he was known for his honesty and good conduct, to the extent that he was nicknamed 'Al-Amin' - the trustworthy, and called upon to arbitrate in the bitter disputes between the Arabs. A person does not spend the first forty years of his life gaining a reputation as an honest man, then suddenly begin to perpetrate the biggest lie in the history of mankind. We know that he kept away from idolatry, adultery and all the other evils of his time, and chose to worship only the God of Abraham, his forefather. Besides, how does an illiterate man compose what is acknowledged as the most beautiful work ever produced in the Arabic language ? Actually it goes further - the Qur'an challenges anyone to produce a chapter like it. The Arabs were excellent poets and knew how to use their language well, but none were able to match the depth, power and beauty of the Qur'an. This is not a subjective evaluation. Arabic is divided into 16 forms (called "bihar") - one for speech, one for poetry, and so on. The Qur'an fit into none of these forms. In other words, it was a completely new pattern, it defied linguistic classification, and at the same time moved men to tears, and sometimes to embrace Islam, merely upon hearing it's sublime words. This is just one aspect of the miracle of the Qur'an. It also contains explicit, precise prophecies which have come to pass, and information about scientific and natural phenomena, such as the development of the human embryo, which have only recently come to be known in the light of modern instrumentation and techniques. There is too much to mention on this topic, but you can find more at: http://thetruereligion.org/modules/wfsection/index.php?category=7

How could Muslims become Muslims if they're already Muslims?\n\nOf course I have doubts.  You're presenting this "information" to us without citing even ONE source.  And even if you DO get around to citing one, it better be credible or it'll mean just as much as no source at all.

the 10 commandments\nhttp://www.islam-usa.com/e70.htm\n\n\nregarding Moses and the Pharaoh read surah Al Baqarah\n\nhttp://www.muslimaccess.com/quraan/arabic/002.asp\n\n\nEDIT:\nOh dear, those don't even EXIST in the Quran. First, the "kill all infidels" thing is nothing more than a stupid Lie. \nthere are chapters that speak of battles between the Muslims and the Pagans when the Muslims were a minority and being oppressed. but it never said "kill all infidels" not in that sense.\n\nsecond, the "don't be friends with Jews and Christians" also is bad translation. the verse speaks of time of war, the Arabic word Awliaa was translated by some idiot to mean friends>> it doesn't mean friends, it means Protectors of faith. the idea behind it is when the Muslims made an alliance with the Jews of Madinah, the Jews betrayed them and helped their enemies (pagans) instead. \nevery thing in Islam makes sense and all it takes is the desire to know and understand things first hand.\n\nit's very important to understand the historical events behind those chapters and when you understand the context it will be clear that those verses were only addressing Muslims at that particular time and in that particular event. and NOT to be carried out without the Prophet's authority. \ni as a Muslim understand those things but the lazy majority of non-Muslims won't understand them because they are too lazy to research any thing.\nlike chapter 9 (surah Al Tawbah) which people LOVE  to quote from speaks of the battle of Badr the first battle between the Muslims and the Pagan tribe of Qurish.\n\nthere's a significant difference between the Bible and the Quran.\nthe bible has the word of God, the words of the prophets and the words of the historians all in one book. the Quran is only the words of God revealed to the Prophet and has been preserved in this holy book unchanged ever since. the history is in separate books and the oral traditions of the Prophet (pbuh) is also in other separate books.\n\nand then we have the books which contain the commentary (explanation) of the Quran and the Sunnah.\n\nso i hope you get the idea of what i'm trying to say!\n\npeace

The world is an illusion and Islam is the reality. The Qur'an is an eye-opener:\n"The same religion has He established for you as that which He enjoined on Noah - the which We have sent by inspiration to thee - and that which We enjoined on Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: Namely, that ye should remain steadfast in religion, and make no divisions therein: to those who worship other things than Allah, hard is the (way) to which thou callest them. Allah chooses to Himself those whom He pleases, and guides to Himself those who turn (to Him)."\nAl-Qur'an, 042.013

One thing I will say, is that you surely do study the Koran.  I actually enjoy reading what you post and the answers.

Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) with no doubt is the best teacher and messenger for all mankind ... \n\nsince 1400 years ago we are very confident that this great Holy Book will never be changed ... because Allah the almighty promised us to protect this last and final holy book forever ...\n\nAllah the almighty said in the Holy Qur'an\n\n"Surely We have revealed the Reminder and We will most surely be its guardian. "\n\n015.009 \n\n\nThe Holy Qur'an is the greatest miracle because:\n\n1- it was never changed and it will never be\n2- it have hundreds of proofs that shows this Holy Book came from God the almighty\n3- many scientific miracles that challenged scientists through the years\n\n\n\n\nthis great Holy Book can't be from a normal human being \nits from one and only one ... he is God the almighty\n\n"Do they not consider the Qur'an (with care)? Had it been from other Than Allah, they would surely have found therein Much discrepancy. "\n\n004.082 \n\n\nif this Holy Book was from someone else except God the almighty we would have found many errors and contradictions\n\n\nbut thankfully no errors in this final Holy Book because it came from God the almighty

I can't see the use of word Holy with the word Quran.\nFrom the parts I've read, it's nothing more than a military marching order. That is based on what I read. I'm sure there is more to it but as long as it says to kill Christians and Jews, it can't be a good book. Written about 500 years after the HOLY Bible and including stories and people from the Bible, it must have been written because of and out of the HOLY Bible.

I too have studied the Islamic faith and I must say some of it is very good indeed honesty dont eat before your neighbour to takes ones life is to take the life of all mankindetc. But pissing in your clothes etc is very very funny. Killing the infidel unless he pays you well that is laughable A muslims lets you live because you give him money . Whoops you leave the islamic following and you can be killed and the Muslim that does it  cannot be punished.

have you read the Quran in order to pick up anything you feel can help you in your battle against Islam ? ,alas, this way will lead you nowhere boy .\nwhy don't you just stop hating Islam ,as long as you're not a Muslim ,why do you care what Islam said or didn't say  ?,why don't you consentrate in your own religion so you might save your soul ?.

I have mixed feelings about Islam to be perfectly honest.  I think it has the potential to be a great religion, but its followers have some things they need to work out.  It is a fact that there is terrorism among Muslims, and this is a major problem.  It is a fact that there is a lot of hatred of Jews among Muslims, and this is very wrong.  But it does not have to be that way.  There are wonderful Muslims who are peaceful and loving.  I just wish there were more of the good ones and less of the bad ones, and I wish that the Qur'an and Hadith were easier to interpret in a peaceful manner.  The fact is, there are verses in the Qur'an and Hadith that seem to me to support violence, if one wishes to seek support for violence.  I think this is problematic.  It can be solved, because the same thing is true of some other religions but they do not interpret the violent verses of their scriptures in a violent way.  They have reinterpreted them with an eye to peace.\n\nI have studied Islam a little.  I have talked to Muslims, read the Qur'an with some commentary and Hadith (al-bukhari), and I have read a few books on Islam, by both Muslims and non-Muslims.

This sounds reasonable to me. I read the Koran once; when I can get another copy I'm willing to read it again.

Listening to something about the quran for me would be a complete waste of time.  I am a Christian.  My God (you know, the REAL one?) didn't tell us to kill others based on there religion.  Not all muslims are terrorists, but, unfortunately, all terrorists ARE muslim.  It is not my place to accept them, nor to understand them.  They are the wrong doers.  They are the ones that will burn in hell for eternity!  I wish I could see the looks on there faces when they get to hell, and instead of virgins, they have demons!

In the name of Allah most gracious most merciful, I'll try my best to help you if u r really interested in Islam.\nFirst of all I'm Muslim because Islam has provided me the internal peace I'm searching for, In Islam I've found the unity of all Muslims in alot of occasions for example the times of prayers when u see alot these Muslims (not all of them due to lack of their faith) doing the same moves and asking the only God, renweing their faith five times a day through the whole day, especially Al-Fajr prayers when u wake up from your bed and go to make wodoo2 by washing your limbs and head with water then going in your path towards the mosque (if it was accessible or close to you) or towards the place where u do ur prayers and in the silence of the surroundings making the dialogue with your only God.\nI've found their unity in yearl pilgrimage (called hajj) to Makka from different spots of the earth having one target which is pleasing the true king of everything.\n\nI've beleived in Islam while i found it's talking to your mind and soul and guiding you to how to live peacefully with others and how to deal with all your problems.\n\nI've beleived in Islam while it has solved many of my daily problems and even fllowing it's commands made me a better person by the testaments of other people knowing me.\n\nI've beleived in islam while it dealt with other religions peacefully and has granted them free will to deal with their religions whether it was.\n\nI've beleived in Islam while it has been based on what humans can do not miracles, miracles have never been introduced in islam except when it was so necessary and in situations which will not face a normal(not a prophet) person ever.\n\nI beleived in islam while it treats my mother and father nicely and gave rights to women as far as they demand and more.\n\nI beleived in islam while u r in direct contact with God and not needing anyone or anything in between you.\n\nI beleived in Islam while I've found it's prophet telling about things which was far futuristic than his era and have been fullfilled as he said and will be fullfilled as he said.\n\nI beleived in Islam while when I read Quran I feel it's like a heavenly words coming through my spirit.\n\nI beleived in islam while it makes me manage my life easier than I could do.\n\nI beleived in islam while it made me respect myself as a human and gave me the right way to establish a successfull person.\n\nI beleived in it while I've talked to many christians and Buddhists, infidels and read about judaism but they never gave me the answer which can make me have peace with myself.\n\nThe greeting of islam is Peace be upon You so how come it calls for war and terrorism.\n\nIslam makes me clean, tidy, relaxed, thoughfull, considerate and trustfull.\n\nIslam means (maybe I'm not so good in English) providing yourself to your God.\n\nI've a special Doaa(asking God) which whenever I use it never fails.\n\nIslam deals with me by discussion of matters not by faith without reasons, there're ofcorse things which have to be beleived but it has reasons why should u beleive in.\n\nIslam has dealt with me as a normal human not burdening me without care.\n\nI hope i can talk more but I'm not a scholar anyway, u coudl email me on my add.: ahmedeldeeb@yahoo.com and I'll send you some links, books and even will try to get you to some place where u can learn about Islam if u really want it and will Inshaa Allah(God willing) try to provide you with the nearest place that could help you.
