The verses that be quoted by Muslims would need further research because it isnt easy trying to convey the message into english from arabic. These quotes are not translations but an interperation of the Quran.

It was not taught but recited.  Angel Gabriel we reciting verses during a course of about 23 yrs. \nThe whole Quran came down from the 7th sky to the lower one (which we see above us) in one night in the month Ramadhan.  This is the meaning of the verse in surat al-Qadir that : "we brought it down in al-Qadir night" it does not mean it was recited to the Prophet in one night.

5:51 & 9:29 "against"\n5:82 & 2:62  "respect"\n\nWhat makes muslims decide how to treat those of other faiths depends on whether they have read the entire Qur'an in context, and understand it's meaning, or whether they follow the lead of haters without understanding. This can happen in any faith.

In spite of asking this question to the people in yahoo chat isn't it preferable to research it yourself. You are the best judge of your understanding. Will you believe whatever people will tell you. The best way to solve this puzzle is to go to the authentic scriptures of Islam and check whether Islam says that or not.\n\nQur'an is avaliable in any corner of the World, if not tell me and i will tel you as how to obtain it free.\n\nif you are unable to obtain it anywhere from the bookshop, here is the link which can send you free copy....\n\nhttp://www.islamtomorrow.com/freequran.asp\n\nfor more information contact me at shiekhtm@yahoo.com

ROFL..you got em staggering.\n\nI love the different "translations". They are versions, call a spade a spade. How can a word mean fight to one person, and it mean a metaphoric fight to another. They crack me up.\n\nThe verse is pretty damn clear. This is what the terrorists feed off of.

Did you read parts of the Qur'an that tells Muslims to respect others and their religion, and to let them live in peace if they treat Muslims in the same manner? (read Surah Al Kafirun - to me be my religio, to you your religion) Islam is very tolerant of other religions.... some Muslims on the other hand are a different matter and that's not the way it should be!\n\nMany verses in the Qur'an balance each other out (not contradict one another).. for example Surah 5, verse 98:\nKnow that Allah is strict in punishment; And that Allah is Often Forgiving, Most Merciful. \n\nIslam and Christianity both teach good things and tolerance but somehow people have taken the teachings way out of context, and to justify them acting like animals. People are too quick to blame a religion, they forget that people are human beings who possess free will and will do what they want to do even if it is wrong by their religion.

The Qur'an is supposedly God's message delivered to Mohammed.\n\nThe Hadith are recollections of things Mohammed said and did.\n\nBoth are a source of sharia law.

what are the contradictory answers that you have notices.. Quran is very clear. \n\nYes if he/she wishes to rejoin islam, he/she can joins it.. but with sincere repentance ,, becuase it was a grevious sin which he&#92;she did. \nthese verses will be helpful regarding this question\n\n\n "Again and again will those who disbelieve, wish that they had bowed (to God's will) in Islam.   Leave them alone, to enjoy (the good things of this life) and to please themselves: let (false) hope amuse them: soon will knowledge (undeceive them)."\nNoble Verses 15:2-3\n\n\nNoble Verse 3:90 "But those who reject faith after they accepted it, and then go on adding to their defiance of faith never will their repentance be accepted; for they are those who have (of set purpose) gone astray."  \n\nThere is no compulsion in the religion; Truth stands out clear from error; so whoso disbelieves in idols and believes in God, has laid hold of the most firm handle, which cannot break; and God is Hearing, Knowing.\nAl-Quran (2:256)\n\n\n\n"Say: "O my Servants who have excessively wronged their own souls, despair not of God's Mercy: for God forgives all sins for He is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.\nTurn to your Lord (for forgiveness) and bow to His (Will), before the Penalty comes on you: after that you shall not be helped." ( Quran 39:53-54.)\n \n\nHOPE THIS ANSWERS.. AND YA.. PLEASE REFER TO A PERSON WHO HAS KNOWLEDGE ABOUT ISLAM, THERE IS NO CONTRADICTORY ANSWERS.. OR IF YOU HAVE ANY..POST IN THIS QUESTION,, WE WILL TRY OUR BEST TO ANSWER IT FROM QURANIC VERSES. \n\nPEACE BE ON YOU

Not everyone can read Qur'aanic Arabic, and I have not seen anyone who can read Qur'aanic Arabic claiming the Qur'aan has errors; they might not all believe in the Qur'aan but, they will not hold the notion of Qur'aan possess errors.\n\nIf shall you notice, those who claim Qur'aan has errors are always those who cannot understand the Qur'aanic Arabic.  They cannot be fully blamed though because, many translations of the Qur'aan can and do offer chances of misinterpretation.\n\nThe same goes for the Christian Bible...\n...as well as any religious text of any given religion.

Quran is not saying at aaaaaaaaall in any of its verses to kill non Muslims or those who doesn't believe in Allah , in these verses , it's very appealing that every body has the full right to believe in any religion: \n\n [109:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful \n\n[109:1] Say, "O you disbelievers. \n\n[109:2] "I do not worship what you worship. \n\n[109:3] "Nor do you worship what I worship. \n\n[109:4] "Nor will I ever worship what you worship. \n\n[109:5] "Nor will you ever worship what I worship. \n\n[109:6] "To you is your religion, and to me is my religion." \n\nAnd to make sure , Here's a translation of the Quran in English , hope it helps  : http://www.submission.org/Q-T.html

To all who are questioning the authenticity of Quran, listen carefully. Quran may be ritten down by a man aka Prophet Mohammad (SAW) but it is the word of God. As for the Bible, the Bible too is a word of GOd, the only difference being, Bible gets updated each yr. Each y new testaments come out. Wat kind of a religion updates ands changes itself, adding in, what was never there originally. Quran is as original as it gets, because it has never been changed, the true Bible is lost. \nAlso the Quran is about all the prophets, combined.\n\nJesus back on earth eventaully was not only said int eh Bible, it was also in the Quran. The Muslims beleive that as well. SO next time you want to pin soemthing like that, it wouldnt do u harm to go learn something first. \n\nEverything so far which has happened in the war,as in the major scene, was already recorded iin the Quran. Nothing the Bible has said as of yet has come to pass. People can relate certain things to other things said and done in the past, but that does not mean that that is wat was originally meant. \n\nI hate when poeple try riting answers and comments about other peoples relgions, when they themselves do not know nething worthwile. If you have any questions about the religoin Islam, ask, dont assume, and dont make up crap.

The Quran was put together 150-200 years after Muhammad who was illiterate died. It was only by memory and a few scraps of paper hidden under a bed. Not much to say for its inception. Even the Quran calls the Gospel of Jesus "guiding and light" so when they now say that the gospel is in error they contradict themselves.

Yes, I do. I try to stick to a routine of even reading a couple of verses (ayat) everyday and think if I am really doing this or not. One of the early believers (can't remember his name) used to start reading the Quran wondering what kind of person he would find himself to be; charitable or a miser, honest or a liar, etc. \nOne way of knowing if you are a good person or not is to read in your holy book and reflect on the teachings; are you following them?

1. The Bible has many versions because translating a language into another language is slightly difficult.\n\n2. There is no "one" correct version. Almost all versions are acceptable but there are 3 different ways of translating. \nA. Some translate the Bible word for word.\nB. Some translate the Bible by paraphrasing and giving you the gist of what the passage means.\nC. Some combine both A and B to give a translation that's readable and hold's true to the original message.\n\n3. The Bible originally was written in Hebrew (Old Testament) and Greek (New Testament). In that respect to the ORIGINAL documents there was only ONE version. We have different versions now because we don't all speak Hebrew and Greek.\n\n4. The Quran originally had only one version like the Bible. But through time it has been translated into different languages like the Bible and there are different versions. One such version is the new French translation of the Quran. Of course all Muslims believe that the only way to "really" read the Quran is in the original language. What most people don't know and what they don't tell Muslims in general is that the original copies of the Quran have all been lost when Uthman, the third Caliph(successor of Mohammed), gathered what was left of the Quran, arranged it by the length of Surahs rather than chronologically, then burned all other existing copies! That's why the Quran today is called Uthman's Quran.\n\n5. In fact the Quran is very different from the original copy. Aside from all copies being burned by Uthman leaving us no way of knowing if he changed any of it, the Quran is also under the sway of the doctrine of "al-Nasikh wal-Mansoukh" (the Abrogator and the Abrogated). This simply means that when a recent verse in the Quran gives a contradictory view to another verse that preceded it (chronologically), the recent verse abrogates (cancels and replaces) the old verse and renders it null and void. This doctrine is derived from the Quran where Allah allegedly says in Surah 2:106; \n"None of Our revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, but We substitute something better or similiar: Knowest thou not that Allah Hath power over all things?"\nAlso, in Surah 16:101;\n"When we substitute one revelation for another, and Allah knows best what He reveals (in stages), they say, "Thou are but a forger": but most of them understand not."\n\nAccording to Muslim scholars, out of the 114 Surahs (chapters) of the Quran, there are only 43 Surahs that have  not been affected by this concept and had there verses cancelled and replaced.\nThe Bible (Old and New Testament) on the other hand has been preserved with an enourmous amount of greater accuracy.\n\nHope this answered your questions.

In response to the question you posed, we'd cite the following: \n\n“It is to be noted that in the Qur’an the Prophet’s life, the history of the Arabs and the events which occurred during the period of the revelation of the Qur’an have not been mingled with the Divine Verses, as is the case with the Bible. The Qur’an is the pure word of Allah. Not one word therein is not divine. Not a single word has been deleted from its text. The Book has been handed down to our age in its complete and original form since the time of Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. From the time the Book began to be revealed, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, had dictated its text to the scribes. Whenever some Divine Message was revealed, the Prophet would call a scribe and dictate its words to him. The written text was then read out to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who, having satisfied himself that the scribe had committed no error of recording, would put the manuscript in safe custody. \n\nThe Prophet used to instruct the scribe about the sequence in which a revealed message was to be placed in a particular Surah (chapter). In this manner, the Prophet continued to arrange the text of the Qur’an in systematic order till the end of the chain of revelations. Again, it was ordained from the beginning of Islam that a recitation of the Holy Qur’an must be an integral part of worship. Hence the illustrious Companions would commit the Divine verses to memory as soon as they were revealed. Many Ahadith explain how frequently they used to consult the Prophet regarding their recitation of the Qur’an and beautiful stories were told about women who asked their husbands-to-be to teach them a part of the Qur’an as their dowries. \n\nMethod of preservations of the Qur’an during the Prophet's time \n\nBesides, those of the Companions who were literate used to keep a written record of several portions of the Holy Qur'an. In this manner, the text of the Holy Qur'an had been preserved in four different ways during the lifetime of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: \n\na) The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, had the whole text of the Divine Messages from the beginning to the end committed to writing by the scribes of revelations. The Prophet used to keep scribes in his service. The four Rightly Guided Caliphs, as well as Zayd ibn Thabit, Ubayy ibn Ka‘b, Mu‘awiya ibn Abi Sufyan are among those who were known as scribes. \n\nb) Many of the Companions learned the whole text of the Qur’an, every syllable of it, by heart. \n\nc) All the illustrious Companions, without any exception, had memorized at least some portions of the Holy Qur'an, for the simple reason that it was obligatory for them to recite it during worship. \n\nd) A considerable number of the literate Companions kept a private record of the text of the Qur'an and satisfied themselves as to the purity of their record by reading it out to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. \n\nMethod of preservations of the Qur’an after the demise of the Prophet \n\nIt is an incontrovertible historical truth that the text of the Holy Qur’an extant today is, syllable for syllable, exactly the same as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, had offered to the world as the Word of Allah. After the demise of the Prophet, the first Caliph Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, assembled all the Huffaz (those who kept the Qur’an by heart) and the written records of the Qur’an and with their help had the whole text written in Book form. In the time of the third Caliph ‘Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, copies of this original version were made and officially dispatched to the Capitals of the Islamic World. Two of these copies exist in the world today, one in Istanbul and the other in Tashkent. Whosoever is so inclined may compare any printed text of the Holy Qur’an with those two copies, he sh
