Read Now → As noted above, the Glorious Qur’an prominent through its simplicity and easiness to be memorized, and so every body, younger or aged, knowledgeable or unlettered, can understand it to a point. In the Kitttab, [1]I came to apprehend the general that means of the Qur’anic memories andadmonitions although I was a trifling baby. Once, I turned into reciting Surat As-Safat before sheikh Hamid (may Allah have mercy on him), when I read the subsequent Qur’anic verses: We can say that Quran is a letter of instructions from the lord Allah towards human beings. We must try to read and understand it and concentrate on the instructions mentioned in it. Holy Quran Features

Quran Majeed offers lots of benefits and favors for the human beings that were not there in previous Holy books. If any woman commits a "lewd act," it takes "four witnesses" to convict them. Then they shall be "confined" in their homes "until death overtakes them." Or until "God finds another way for them."

Your comments clearly shows the world that you have actually read nothing at all: not the review in question, nor have you actually read and understood the content of the Quran, a book you profess to call sacred. All you do is read half a sentence, see the 1-star-rating and then you start complaining, instead of continue reading with an attempt of neutral eyes. God forbid (pun intended) that you even start reading the comments that this review already has gotten before you start jotting down what has been written down before. When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters wherever you find them." I'll have to watch out during that time. "Make war on them." Not exactly a peaceful book.

Twenty-First Century

It is forbidden to eat swine. I guess because it is an "unclean" animal. So keep a clean pigsty. How much uncleaner is a pig than any other farm animal? Isn't it time to put these ancient ideas about clean and unclean animals away? Indeed, those who believed and those who were Jews or Christians or Sabeans [before Prophet Muhammad] - those [among them] who believed in Allah and the Last Day and did righteousness - will have their reward with their Lord, and no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve. A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) married her when she was seven years old, and he was taken to his house as a bride when she was nine, and her dolls were with her; and when he (the Holy Prophet) died she was eighteen years old. The Quran is the central religious text of Islam, which Muslims believe to be the verbatim word of God (Arabic: الله, Allah). Everybody must read it and act it accordingly because no one can know the correct path better than the Creator himself . Every chapter begins with the name of Allah except one chapter.

Every human being, I emphasise again that every human being should be give an oppertunity to read the Quran and those who are not previllaged enough to have the means should be helped by those who are. I think that it is the right of every human being to be guided and Allah is the only one who can do so. As already indicated, the two earliest translations by Muslims namely, Abul Fadl (1911) and Hairat Dihlawi (1916) had the ambitious plan of countering the Orientalists’/missionaries’ charges against the Quran in their commentary. However, these deliver very little. Neither of them had academic credentials or any grounding in English idiom and presentation skills. 16 At best, they recorded for the first time the Muslim presence in the field. Previous Holy Books were revealed at once or sent from Allah but Quran was revealed according to the situation in 23 years. The delegation of 12 people, including famous figures such as Uthman ibn Affan(RA), Ali ibn Abi Talib(RA), Talha ibn Ubaydullah(RA), Abdullah ibn Masood(RA), Ubayy ibn Kab(RA), Khalid ibn al-Walid(RA), and Hudhaifah(RA) , came together in Umar’s(RA) house and collected all the materials on which verses from the Quran were written. No one dies unless God wills. The term of every life is fixed." A fatalistic view of life. Why be afraid of anything? You will not die until God wills it. In fact, that end is already fixed in time.Those unfamiliar with Quranic style might question the shifting of pronouns in many verses, which is again, alien to English. This cannot be eliminated in translation, however, without loss to intended meanings.

Likewise, reading the Glorious Qur’an in a low voice is recommended. In this context, a hadith says, “The superiority of reading (the Glorious Qur’an) in a low voice over reading (it) in a loud voice is like the superiority of giving alms in secret over giving it in public.” (Reported by An-Nasa’i) g. What is said above about his grounding in history of religions is to the fore also in his explication of the Quranic allusion to Tubba, the kings of Himyar of south Arabia. 42 It is such a magnum opus marked by scholarly depth and rich symbolism which also contains rational meditation and practicality as distinctive aspects. Houssein Nahaboo, The Holy Quran ( The Holy Qurān: the Arabic text and its translation in the English language), by Mus-Haf Publication, Mauritius, 1987 not to be confused with his Frence translation of the Quran entitled Le saint Coran, published in 1983. I hope that more and more people will be able to find the means to read this amazing book and will also ask others to read it. And I pray to Allah that those who are misguided in the facts as to what the Quran holds, both muslims and non-muslims, that they would not heed what other people say anymore and would try to learn themselves. Ameen.Whoever is guided is only guided for [the benefit of] his soul. And whoever errs only errs against it. And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. And never would We punish until We sent a messenger. I presume that the Infidels' peace overture was scornfully rejected. They have retaliated by changing the title to Roman script only, even removing the apostrophe. First, there is a distinction between the Quran and its translation. In Christian view, the Bible is the Bible, no matter what language it may be in. But a translation of the Quran is not the word of God, for the Quran is the exact Arabic words spoken by God, revealed to Prophet Muhammad by Gabriel. The word of God is only the Arabic Quran as God says: Richard Bell, The Quran ( The Qur’ān. Translated, with a critical re-arrangement of the Surahs). Read Now → S. M.
