What do you think about "THE QURAN?"?
928224
THE BOOK OF THE HOLY\nGOD\n(AL-QURAN)\n\nThe Revelation___ revealed to the Prophet__ is Al-Quran. The contents whereof are, doubtlessly, truthful. It is a living Scripture__ which provides instant guidance__ for every problem. Whosoever is desirous to seek guidance to the Straight Path___ he should, immediately, consult this Scripture. Manner of consultation is, however highly important.\n\nThe person who is desirous to consult the Holy Quran__ should be at first__ in a neat and clean condition___ like those of the pious-ones. Then, he should sit in solitude__ and solemnly pronounce:-\n\n“I take refuge in my Lord, One and Alone God of all, against Satan and his trickery. O’Lord, You are the Beneficent and the Merciful and the Almighty God. Lead me towards the Right path, the path of those whom you blessed, not of those, whom you cursed.”\n\nThereafter, he should open the Holy Quran. He will find the requisite guidance__ by the Grace of our Gracious Lord__ on the opened page__ in clear & vivid terms of the Verses.\n\nBeware please! It is an open and oft-repeated offer of the Lord__ that whosoever will seek guidance__ from the Lord__ the Lord will guide him__ definitely. So, those who are ambitious for direct guidance__ they should resort to the Lord__ through the Holy Quran__ directly.\n\nHoly Quran is the Scripture for all__ and all times__ till the Day of Resurrection. Rather, even after that__ as the reward or retribution of the deeds__ will be given according to the laws of Quran. So__ Quran is for all times__ and for the whole mankind__ irrespective of the caste, colour__ and creed. The man as a man__ or the mankind as the most glorified creature of the Lord___ is the central addressee of the Holy Quran. According to the Holy Quran__ whosoever commits the following wrongs___ he can not be held as worthy of the title of “man.”\n\n1.The one who tell lies.\n\n2.The one who does not honour his words/pledges/promises.\n\n3.The one who does not ensure justice.\n\n4.The one who does not safeguard his character.\n\n\n5.The one who earns his livelihood by unfair means.\n\n6.The one who leads a lustful life.\n\n7.The one who usurps the rights of others.\n\n8.The one who prefers the world upon Hereafter.\n\n9.The one who is not thankful to the Lord, his God.\n\n10.The one who does not seek forgiveness for his or her sins from the Lord Al-Mighty.\n\nBut__ whosoever avoids these wrongs__ he is positively worthy of the title of “man”. The Law of the Lord__ in this regard__ is very simple and clear. The Lord does guide such people__ who seek guidance from the Lord__ just in terms of the Humanity. “God Also helps those who help themselves.”\n\nGuidance from the Lord should, therefore, be always sought__ sincerely and wholeheartedly. No pretension or contradiction__ in words and deeds__ is allowable in the kingdom of the Lord. Because such a condition__ may lead to a disaster__ in the world as well as the Hereafter.\n\nBeware please! A neat and clean thing__ is always kept in a neat and clean place. Same is the case of a neat-hearted and clear-headed person. The person__ who leads a pure and pious life__ will be definitely chosen by the Lord__ for positive reward__ in the world as well as Hereafter. So__ kingdom of Heaven is a place meant for__ the pure and pious alone. It is not meant for___ the impure and impious, at all.\n\nHoly Quran tells us about the true believers of the Lord. The true believers of the Lord__ do speak of the Lord__ in terms of the prediction of Jesus. Praise be to the Lord__ these true believers/servants/Muslims of the Lord__ are speaking of the Lord__ with reference to the Lord’s Absolute Oneness or Monotheism__ for the last 1415 years__ or even more, persistently. The followers of Jesus__ should positively recognize them __ and their mission__ the both__ as that is the standing demand from Jesus, himself__ in terms of his prayer on the cross__ the psalm-22.

No, we do not.  It's the Middle-Eastern conflict that aroused this notion.  The Quran teaches us to respect all religions.  Jews, Christians, and Muslims are considered "people of the book," which is a good thing.

The Holy Quran : Chapter 1: Al-Fatihah \n\n   \n \n[1:1] In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful    \n[1:2] All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of all the worlds,    \n[1:3] The Gracious, the Merciful,    \n[1:4] Master of the Day of Judgment.    \n[1:5] Thee alone do we worship and Thee alone do we implore for help.    \n[1:6] Guide us in the right path --    \n[1:7] The path of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy blessings, those who have not incurred Thy displeasure, and those who have not gone astray.   \n \nWithout Surah Fatiha you cannot become a basic Muslim.Surah. Fatiha is the Mother of the Holy Qur’an.

You mean Holy Quran\n\nHere is a nice comparison\n\nBible Compared to Quran\nBased on transcripts from lectures by Yusuf Estes & Dr. Gary Miller (combined).\n\nIntroduction by Yusuf Estes - \nIt should be stated at the outset of this work, that Muslims do not seek to put down or desecrete the Holy Bible. It is a matter critical matter of faith for Muslims to believe in the original revelations that came down to Moses, David, Solomon and Jesus, just as it is is important for Muslims to believe in the revelation of the Quran that came to Muhammad, peace be upon him. The key word here however, is "original." As we all know the origin of the Bible is clouded with centuries of copying, translating and passing down information, now long lost with only copies of manuscripts remaining to remind us of what once was the Bible.\n\nAdditionally, it should be noted that Muslims do not seek to destroy the Christians or Jews belief in the Word of God, rather it is an obligation for Muslims to call to what is right and to halt that which is evil. Certainly, causing the "People of the Book" (as the Quran refers to Christians and Jews) to fall into disbelief and leave off any faith in God at all, is the very opposite of the direction Muslims should take in presenting any comparison between Islam and what has come down in the past from the Almighty God. We only seek to bring about more light to the people seeking guidance and pray for all of us to be successful with our Lord in this life and in the Next life and we ask His Guidance and Support in doing so, ameen. \n\nTHE BIBLE\n[Yusuf Estes]\n\nOld Testament\n\nThere exists today a number of different versions in the ancient Hebrew language of the Jewish Book called the Torah [Law] and this is usually referred to in Christianity as The Old Testament. Naturally, there have been many different translations to a great number of languages over the centuries and one could not expect them to be identical in text or meaning. What we have in English today still remains somewhat similar to large amounts of these older documents.\n\nNew Testament\n\nThere are also different versions of the Gospel or what is commonly called The New Testament in the Koine Greek language and Latin and these also have many translations to even other langugaes. Even amongst the English translations there are great differences. To mention two very clear differences for example; the Catholic Bible [c. 325 A.D] contains 73 books in total, while the Protestant Bible contains only 66 books, and although the newer (Protestant version) was taken from the Catholic Bible even then these books do not match completely with each other. There is no common denominator for any of the many different versions of the Bible.\n\nDead Sea Scrolls\n\nThere have been a number of scrolls and parchments found in places surrounding what we call the "Holy Land" over the centuries, not the least of which are those often referred to as the "Dead Sea Scrolls" or as they are known to the scholars "Wadi Qumran Scrolls." These were discovered in the last century around 1930 and have been proven to be very ancient and could well be older than any other extant manuscripts. Much of what has been translated from these scrolls is similar to some of the oldest manuscripts, but there are still very important differences worthy of note. We would like to recommend some important reading on this topic at the end of this paper.\n\nTHE QURAN\n[Yusuf Estes]\n\nQuran Means "Recitation"\n\nThe word "Quran" means "that which is recited; or that which is dictated in memory form." As such, it is not a book, nor is it something that reaches us only in written form. The documentation in writting about the Quran has been preserved in museums thoughout the world, including the Topekopi Palace in Istanbul, Turkey, the museum in Tashkent, Uzbekistan and also in England. Keep in mind also, the Quran is on

"The Quran was written about 400 AD by Mohammed. Christians consider the Quran to be a book (like a novel) written by a false prophet."--From  mesqlouise2u\n\nGet your facts right before you accuse, the Qur'an was not written by Muhammad, it came from God (Allah). We don't reduce Jesus' status, we consider him and the Virgin Mary as some of the highest in our regards. We believe that Virgin Mary was one of the most honourable women there was, where we believe she is promised heaven, one of the first to be placed with such a high honour. And I find it also insulting that it stated "..the Quran reduces Jesus to merely a prophet," 1. Have you read the Qur'an? and 2. Prophethood is not something to be said as "merely" we believe Jesus is richeous, yet we do not believe he is the son of god, we believe god is one. Yet that doesn't mean we reduce his honour, we respect him, honour him, and love him, as we do for all the prophets, from Adam to Muhammad.

The Quran is the last and final message of Almighty GOD sent for the guidance of mankind. All the previous revelations were cancelled as a result.\n\nThe Quran was sent to Prophet Muhammed (Peace Be Upon Him) through angel Gabriel. Just like how he brought revelations from ALmighty GOD to Moses, Abraham and Jesus Christ (Peace Be Upon Them).\n\nBut as we know, all the previous revelations have got corrupted by materialistic men by the passage of time. It is only the Quran that has remained un-altered since 1427 years. It is a miracle sent by GOD. Imagine a book of hundreds of pages which can be easily memorised completely by millions of people. There are kids as young as the age of 7-8 years who have memorised it completely. The meaning of the word 'Quran' is something which is read and re-read etc. Infact it is the only book which is the most read since 1427 years.\n\nThe Quran is a complete code of life. It has scientific miracles, ethics, code of conducts, financial codes etc.\n\nWatch the facts.\nhttp://www.harunyahya.com/c_miracles_quran.php

I am a Muslim and a non Arab, it took for me around 2 year to study completely Quran in Arabic. Quran is easy to study since it contains only 1900 root Arabic words. After you study, when you read or hear the recitation the meaning comes to your mind. Even after learning Quran, I could not easily understand other arabic books since there are lot of newer words in it.\n\nFollowing is the link to 80% of words used in Quran\nhttp://www.emuslim.com/Quran/English80.asp\nQuran Dictionary\nhttp://www.emuslim.com/Quran/Lughat.asp

peace..\nalQuran alkareem never been changed. also it wasn't written by any human hand. it was given from god directly to our prophet(pbuh). we have one unique version of the quran. so if u brought a quran from iran, australia and canada, the 3 books will evolve the same exact things. if there's one point or coma in the first one u'll find it in the other one. we have the stories of all prophets and messengers of god from the beginning of life till the end (day of judgement).\nthe Bible which i respect it also becoz it's a book from god, but hard luck it was written by people. it was written regarding to the point of view of the apostles about what happenned and the real version of jesus christ desappeared.\nso u may find the version of jhon, mathew, marcus... the old testament, the new one, deutronomy, isaac (ect)....\nand it's not the same everywhere we may find lots of mistakes and lacunes. i've read before that the apostles didn't view the crucifixion and the only one who saw it is a saint maybe st peter excuse me i'm not sure...\nbeside why christians(with my extream respect to them ) take all the versions exept barnabas version. why is barnabas version wrong and all the others r right??? it made us doubt all versions if we want to reject one..\nfinally. between main reasons why jesus christ will reappear (we say with our imam(3ltfh)), is to bring the peace again into earth and to tell the truth about the Bible. he will fight evil and win. and when he appears the real version of Bible and Torah will came up from bizanthiam, and all humans will knows the truth and will be under one religion with extream peace. the divine justice will be applied on earth. i hope it come soon. i ask ALLAH(swt) 4 it...\n          with my all respect 4 everyone, peace...

Might I ask if you have actually read the Koran?   If so, you should have found that it is for the most part a very peaceful book.   As with all beliefs, anything can be interpreted to suit good or bad - it's all how you look at it.\n\nThe Bible could be held out as violent (eye for an eye etc) as could the Torah.\n\nAnything can be used and interpreted to justify actions in the name of Religion.\n\n"They are not peaceful people like us?".. who is 'they' exactly?   If you think 'us' is a peaceful world, look again.

QURAN is the only WORD OF GOD in ORIGINAL/PURE FORM. Reason is clear in the verse below, that GOD promised to protect QURAN.\n\n[15:9] Absolutely, we have revealed the reminder, and, absolutely, we will preserve it. \nhttp://www.submission.org/Q-T.html\n\n\nThe Quranic challenge (since past 1400 years, present and future)\n\nHere are the verses that mention the challenge; \n\n\nSay, "If all the humans and all the jinns banded together\nin order to produce a Quran like this, they could never \nproduce anything like it, no matter how much assistance \nthey lent one another."      [17:88] \n\n\nIf you have any doubt regarding what we revealed to our \nservant, then produce one sura like these, and call upon\nyour own witnesses against GOD, if you are truthful. \n[2:23] \n\n\nThis Quran could not possibly be authored by other than \nGOD. It confirms all previous messages, and provides a \nfully detailed scripture. It is infallible, for it comes from \nthe Lord of the universe. If they say, "He fabricated it," \nsay, "Then produce one sura like these, and invite \nwhomever you wish, other than GOD, if you are truthful." \n[10:37-38] \n\n\nIf they say, "He fabricated (the Quran)," tell them, "Then \nproduce ten suras like these, fabricated, and invite \nwhomever you can, other than GOD, if you are truthful." \n    [11:13]   \n\n\nDo they say, "He made it all up?" Instead, they are \nsimply disbelievers. Let them produce a Hadith like this, \nif they are truthful.   [52:33-34]

old school, it`s one but it`s literature buddy!!!\n\nI`d like to add more\n\nScientists’ Comments on the Scientific Miracles in the Holy Quran: \nThe following are some comments of scientists1 on the scientific miracles in the Holy Quran.  All of these comments have been taken from the videotape entitled This is the Truth.  In this videotape, you can see and hear the scientists while they are giving the following comments.  (To view the RealPlayer video of a comment, click on the link at the end of that comment.  For a copy of this videotape, please visit this page.) \n \n\n1)  Dr. T. V. N. Persaud is Professor of Anatomy, Professor of Pediatrics and Child Health, and Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.  There, he was the Chairman of the Department of Anatomy for 16 years.  He is well-known in his field.  He is the author or editor of 22 textbooks and has published over 181 scientific papers.  In 1991, he received the most distinguished award presented in the field of anatomy in Canada, the J.C.B. Grant Award from the Canadian Association of Anatomists.  When he was asked about the scientific miracles in the Quran which he has researched, he stated the following: \n\n“The way it was explained to me is that Muhammad was a very ordinary man.  He could not read, didn’t know [how] to write. In fact, he was an illiterate.  And we’re talking about twelve [actually about fourteen] hundred years ago.  You have someone illiterate making profound pronouncements and statements and that are amazingly accurate about scientific nature.  And I personally can’t see how this could be a mere chance.  There are too many accuracies and, like Dr. Moore, I have no difficulty in my mind that this is a divine inspiration or revelation which led him to these statements.”  (View the RealPlayer video of this comment ) \n\nProfessor Persaud has included some Quranic verses and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad  in some of his books.  He has also presented these verses and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad  at several conferences. \n\n2)  Dr. Joe Leigh Simpson is the Chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Professor of Molecular and Human Genetics at the Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA.  Formerly, he was Professor of Ob-Gyn and the Chairman of the Department of Ob-Gyn at the University of Tennessee, Memphis, Tennessee, USA.  He was also the President of the American Fertility Society.  He has received many awards, including the Association of Professors of Obstetrics and Gynecology Public Recognition Award in 1992.  Professor Simpson studied the following two sayings of the Prophet Muhammad : \n\n{In every one of you, all components of your creation are collected together in your mother’s womb by forty days...}2 \n\n{If forty-two nights have passed over the embryo, God sends an angel to it, who shapes it and creates its hearing, vision, skin, flesh, and bones....}3 \n\nHe studied these two sayings of the Prophet Muhammad  extensively, noting that the first forty days constitute a clearly distinguishable stage of embryo-genesis.  He was particularly impressed by the absolute precision and accuracy of those sayings of the Prophet Muhammad .  Then, during one conference, he gave the following opinion: \n\n“So that the two hadeeths (the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad ) that have been noted provide us with a specific time table for the main embryological development before forty days.  Again, the point has been made, I think, repeatedly by other speakers this morning: these hadeeths could not have been obtained on the basis of the scientific knowledge that was available [at] the time of their writing . . . . It follows, I think, that not only there is no conflict between genetics and religion but, in fact, religion can guide science by adding revelation to some of the traditional scienti

i believe in the Holy Qur'an  .\n\nQur'an  was written fourteen centuries ago .The fact that the Qur'an is consistent with science still today ((mentioned facts only recently discovered or proven by scientists)).therefore, is a powerful piece of evidence of the authenticity of the Qur'an as God's word. This is particularly impressive when we consider recent scientific discoveries which are found to be already stated in some form in the Qur’an.
