Things one should know about Quran

Things one should know about Quran

1- Quran is the only book in the world which has got no beginning and no end.

2- It begins with praising God and asking help from him to guide us to straight path….Path of those who were right not that of those who are arrogant (Jews) or those who are misguided (Christians) Quran chapter-1. So those who say Islam is sect from Christianity their claim is nullified on 1st page of Quran only…..1/3 of Quran refers to Jews & Christians asking them  "don’t commit excess and follow the right path."

3- Quran means “To read/recite”…….it is meant to be read recite by humanity ….. and to follow its teaching….It contains 100% words of God which are guidance for living life, rules, regulations, rights , obligations,duties,  do's, dont's, prohibitions, warning, prophesy, history, stories of Prophets, description of heaven & hell, hereafter, warning, mercy, forgiving, War against oppression, Justice, science etc

4- Quran always refer to Humanity/mankind/whole world……..it’s not like  other earlier scripture which refers to some particular community like “Listen O Israel’ your lord is one God”

5- The verses arranged in Quran are not in their order of revelation but they are  as per order of Allah for example first revealed verse is in the last part of Quran while last verse is in the beginning.

• Chapter 96:1 to 5 First verses which were revealed.
• Chapter 5:3 was second last.
• Chapter 2:281 was the last revealed verse.

(So claims of any writer that in later parts certain verses were annulled are already void as its appearance in the last part of Quran does not necessarily means it’s was revealed later maybe it was revealed earlier and the verses he is talking about being overruled are revealed later )

6- Some writers claim that look Quran also mentions same Prophet’s and many time same story so it is plagiarized from bible…….but they fail to realize that when that story is mentioned in bible it contains scientific mistake while the same story when mentioned in Quran, its free from scientific mistake, for example Bible Says about Flood of Noah(as) whole world was submerged however historical evidences proves that there were living civilization in Egypt at that time so whole world is not possible. While in Quran it states that the people of Noah (as) submerged in flood (not the whole world)…quite possible…..etc. Do Prophet Mohammed (saw) was a scientist??? No he was an illiterate!!! Second thing at that times bible wasn’t translated in Arabic…yeah some Individual may have translated some parts notes in Arabic …but that does not become bible. First official version of Arabic bible came centuries later. So there is no point in their false claims.

7-  Quran talks in detail about science and there are great details about facts which science has discovered just few decades ago……Just take one example Quran says the exact shape of world 1400 years ago, that it’s like ostrich egg…..once again writers say look this fact was known to Greeks….now they fails to realize that one of the theory of Greeks  was that the earth  is round only…but Quran goes further and states the exact shape(like ostrich egg)…2nd thing they fail to realize that Greek together with one right thing had said 100’s of things which has been proved to be wrong….like earth is the center of universe…………..But Quran disagree with this.... Was Prophet Mohammed (saw) was a scientist, That he distinguished right from wrong and taken only right thing???

                This is one of the reason why God selects last Prophet (saw) as illiterate otherwise people would have cast doubt

Quran 29:48. And you did not recite before it any scripture, nor did you inscribe one with your right hand. Then [i.e., otherwise] the falsifiers would have had [cause for] doubt.

8- Quran wasn’t sent down as a book, it was revealed over the period of 23 years to an illiterate Prophet (saw).

       In most of the cases whenever there was some issue suddenly verse used to reveal to sort it out …. or sometimes Jews or Christian used to ask Question in response to that verse used to reveal (Sometimes suddenly or sometimes after few days).

          Best example of this is, once he was sitting in Medina mosque Delegation of Jews/Christians came and asked what is Allah in response to that verse was issued.

Quran 112

1. Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One,

2. Allah, the Eternal Refuge.

3. He neither begets nor is born,

4. Nor is there to Him any equivalent."

(These verses are defining Islamic concept of God, anyone who fulfills  all four condition is True God, and last verse there is no one like him rejects anything we can think of …. Sun, moon, human, animal etc)

9- Muslims believe in the God which sent prophets like Adam,  Moses, Solomon,  Aaron,  Jesus Mohammed..(Peace be upon all of them)… to humanity….simple and only word for God in Arabic is Allah why we prefer to use “Allah’ because the word Allah has got no gender it can’t be played with (like reverse God, it becomes Dog). I m explaining this in most of the books critics try their level best to prove the readers that Muslims believe in some special deity……they are making fool of themselves as if they refer to an Arabic Bible they will find "Allah" only as there is no other word in Arabic..Even Jesus spoke Aramaic (not English) in Aramaic too its pronounces something similar like “Ellahi”… this word is even mentioned in Bible when Jesus (pbuh) on cross shouted “Ellahi Ellahi lama sabakhtani”(O God O God why have you forsaken me).

Muslims believe in Quran as a whole 1st verse is as important as the last one (yes sometimes one verse is overruled by another which is better hence the later one is to be followed...  Read for details )

There is a warning in Quran to those who  BELIEVE IN PARTS AS PER THEIR OWN CONVENIENCE--

 2 :85 So do you believe in part of the Scripture and disbelieve in part? Then what is the recompense for those who do that among you except disgrace in worldly life; and on the Day of Resurrection they will be sent back to the severest of punishment. And Allah is not unaware of what you do.

2: 208.  O you who have believed, enter into Islam completely [and perfectly] and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy.

So any one who is claiming to be following Islam in parts and supporting so….He is great error  no matter how long his beard is.

There is nothing like fundamental Muslim, moderate Muslim…….

ITS JUST MUSLIM!!

The only difference is Practicing Muslim and non practicing Muslims.

SO FOR A MUSLIM 1ST VERSE IS AS IMPORTANT AS THE LAST VERSE.
