7 Reasons to Read the Glorious Qur'an
Sorry for not sending anything related to this group but it might be
something new to you. 7 Reasons to Read the Glorious Qur'an 1. Inimitable It dares you to disprove it. How? It says that humans cannot write a book like this even if they pooled all their resources together and got help also from the spirits. The Qur'an said this fourteen hundred years ago and yet no one has been able to disprove it. BiIIions of books have been written -but not another one like the Qur'an. 2. Incorruptible It is the only religious sacred writing that has been in circulation for such along time and yet remains as pure as it was in the beginning. The Qur'an was kept intact. Nothing was added to it; nothing was changed in it; and nothing was taken away from it ever since its revelation was completed 1400 hundred years ago. 3. Unsurpassable The Qur'an is God's final revelation to humankind. God revealed the Torah to Moses, the Psalms to David, the Gospel to Jesus, and finally the Qur'an to Muhammad. Peace be upon Moses, David, Jesus and Muhammad. No other book will come from God to surpass His final revelation. 4. Indisputable The Qur'an withstands the test of time and scrutiny. No one can disput the truth of this book. It speaks about past history and turns out right. It speaks about the future in prophecies and it turns out right. It mentions details of physical phenomena which were not known to people at the time; yet later scientific discoveries prove that the Qur'an was right all along. Every other book needs to be revised to accord with modem knowledge. The Qur'an alone is never contradicted by a newly discovered scientific fact. 5. Your Roadmap for Life and Afterlife The Qur'an is the best guidebook on how to structure your life. No other book presents such a comprehensive system involving all aspects of human life and endeavor. The Qur'an also points out the way to secure everlasting happiness in the afterlife. It is your roadmap showing how to get to Paradise. 6. God's Gift of Guidance God has not left you alone. You were made for a reason. God tells you why he made you, what he demands from you and what he has in store for you. If you operate a machine contrary to- it's manufacturer's specification you will ruin 'that machine. What. about you? Do you have an owner's manual for yourself? The Qur'an is from your Maker. It is a gift for you to make sure you function for success, lest you fail to function. It is a healing from God. It satisfies the soul, and cleans the heart. It removes doubts and brings peace. 7.Your Calling Card to Communicate with your Lord Humans are social creatures. We love to communicate with other intelligent life. The Qur'an tells us how to communicate .with the source of all intelligence and the source of all life-the One God. The Qur'an tells us who God is, by what name we should address Him, and the way in which to communicate with Him. Are these not seven sufficient points for reading the Qur'an?

7 Reasons to Read the Glorious Qur'an
L.A.T.:
What does the glorious whatever say about sex? It says that if you happen to capture yourself a woman during your glorious military campaigns against the infidels, you can't just go ahead and use her and then discard her. No, you have to actually keep her and take care of her. Sura 4, verse 24. Thus, by reading the glorious Quran, one can indeed be fully apprised of the extent to which Islam is true and valid. This in contrast with Judaism, which says (Deuteronomy, 21:10-14) that you may take your enemy's woman and rape her (after she has mourned her parents, whom you have slain, for one month). After you rape rape her you may cast her out, but you can't sell her (like you can other women who don't please you). Don't forget that it is forbidden to plow with an ox and a donkey; to plant more than one species of grape in the same vineyard; to wear flax and wool together. If you rape an unmarried virgin you must pay her father 100 shekels and you must marry her and you may not divorce her ever. If you marry a woman and you claim that she was not a virgin on the wedding night, burden of proof rests with her parents. If they can prove that she was a virgin you will be chastised. If they cannot prove that she was a virgin, she will be stoned to death. And the nonsense goes on and on. And this is what would-be President Mike Huckabee thinks ought to replace the Constitution! Thank god for atheism. Long live secular humanism -- morality without the bull****. Davoud -- Don't re-elect the past. Vote for the futu Obama in 2008! usenet *at* davidillig dawt com |

While it is clear that the original sense of the laws in Judaism were capricious, there were around sixteen hundred years between the Torah and the Q'uran. Sixteen hundred years. Roughly the same amount of time as between Constantine and us. Smack in the middle, and well known to the prophet, was the life of Jesus. It is instructive to consider that his interpretation of the law was infinitely more gentle than the guidelines given through Mohammed. He protects a woman from the death penalty for adultery, he states that love and brotherhood are the intent and spirit of the law and are more important than the rituals and strictures. Most importantly, he said to turn the other cheek. This was not Jericho. This was not Judah. This was new and radical. Jesus was a pacifist who believed, at least to some extent, in separating religion and politics. Early christianity was docile enough for the Romans to find it contemptible - it needed Augustine's brilliance to find a way to reconcile it to a theory of just war. It was a difficult fit then and remains so today. In contrast, Mohammed's behavior after Khyber was hideous - cruel, brutal and revolting. Q'uran justifies his actions, and Hadith lauds them. How do you feel about it? Do you see no fundamental difference between him and Jesus? As for secular humanism, your version of it rests heavily on 3000 years of religious tradition. Having seen as much of the world as you, and perhaps knowing a bit more about the past, I am deeply sceptical of humanity's ability to define morality outside of any religious context. Most who tried to do so were unpopular or brutal. Take your pick. Chris |

Having seen as much of the world as you, and perhaps knowing a bit more about the past, I am deeply sceptical of humanity's ability to define morality outside of any religious context. Most who tried to do so were unpopular or brutal. Take your pick. I do appreciate your point of view. I understand why your beliefs make it difficult for you to conceive of a morality outside of a theistic (or other religious) framework. So be it. My life experience and the experiences of my circle of friends and acquaintances tells me otherwise. I'll have to leave the evolutionary argument for morality to the geneticists and the anthropologists; suffice it to say that I believe that my secular humanism is informed more by millions of years of primate evolution than it is by 3,000 years of Judeo-Christian teaching. As for Jesus, I can't make any logical leap from his imputed teachings and any religion I have seen. If he is in fact a historical figure he is not the first to say that we ought to be nice to each other; not even the first to be martyred for saying that. I know nothing of what he said or thought; I know only what others have imputed to him. I would have to question him personally, ask him to examine for himself the religion that took his name, the acts that adherents of that religion have done in his name, and see if he would endorse it. If he is a deity and a pacifist, I would like to ask him why he told George Bush to invade Iraq, but did not tell him to rush to the aid of Katrina victims. Indeed, I would like to ask him why there were Katrina victims. Of course I am being facetious; Jesus didn't tell Bush to invade Iraq (unless Cheney is the crypto-Second-Coming) and hurricanes have natural, not supernatural, causes. No, I think Jesus must have been a secular humanist; his imputed teachings on moral issues is too close to the view held by secular humanists for him to have been anything else. Of course I see a difference between Muhammad and Jesus. One is held to be god's prophet, the other a manifestation of god himself. I don't believe any of it. One made up a religion, the other had a religion made up in his name. The vast majority of adherents to both religions do not practice very strictly the teachings of the respective religions. In some cases that's called hypocrisy (the Saudi and Kuwaiti royal families riddled with alcoholics and heroin addicts, e.g. Also child-molesting clerics, gay gay bashers, all gay bashers, and on and on). Aside: my most memorable "Islamic moment" was when I lived in the Yemen Arab Republic, also known at that time as North Yemen. Yemen -- "the ancestral home of Usama bin Laden" as it is said, is almost always described as an ultra conservative Islamic society. Yet the standing joke among my Yemeni friends was that the national beverage is not the bitter brown concoction that takes one of its names from the Yemeni seaport of Mukka (Mocha), but Johnny Walker Red. When we would get together socially, as soon as someone suggested cocktails, they would say "Bis'millah" -- in the name of Allah. This is blasphemy of the highest order, but a popular joke in Islamic Yemen. (I don't fault anyone for the way they spell Muhammad, but I haven't been able to spell it "Mohammed" since I learned Arabic, because applying English pronunciation rules to that spelling leads to a pronunciation that is just a bit too far from the Arabic pronunciation for an Arabist. Don't attribute that to snobbery; attribute it to the fact that when one learns a language one is not only blessed by the beauty of that language, which is a gift for a lifetime, but also cursed for a lifetime by the difficulty one has in mispronouncing words of that language after struggling to pronounce them correctly, especially when those words are common in one's native language, but with a different pronunciation.) łThe world needs to wake up from its long nightmare of religious belief.˛ -- Steven Weinberg "With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion." -- ibidem Davoud -- usenet *at* davidillig dawt com |
