Section I\n\nAnti-Islamic people often use the following verses to justify the stereotype that Islam is a religion of violence and intolerance, which was spread by the sword. The explanations here were aided by Abdullah Yusuf Ali's commentary on the Holy Quran.\n\nSura 8.12 "Remember thy lord has inspired the angels with the message. Give firmness to the believers and instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers. Smite them above their necks and smite the fingertips of them."\n\nSura 9.5 "When the sacred months have passed, kill the idolaters whereever you find them."\n\nSura 47.4 "When you encounter the unbelievers, Strike off their heads. Untill you have made a wide slaughter among them tie up the remaining captives."\n\nSura 8 is about a BATTLE - the Battle of Badr - not just some daily affair. A battles take two side to occur. Are you under the impression that while these 'horrid' Muslims were fighting, the enemies were simply standing there like good little peaceful men?\n\nSura 47 was revealed during the first year of Hijrah when the Muslims were under *threat of extinction* by invasion from Makkah.\n\nSura 9 is interesting. Non-Muslims almost invariably quote verse 5 but leave out verse 4 and 6. Why? Because verse 4 says, "But the treatires are not dissolved with those Pagans with whom you have entered into alliance and who have you subsequently failed you in aught, nor aided anyone against you. So fulfill your engagements with them to the end of their term: for God Loves the righteous."\n\nAnd verse 6 says, "If one among the Pagans ask thee for asylum, grant it to him so that he may hear the Word of God; and then escort him to where he can be secure."\n\nSo basically what has been done above is:\n\n1. The background to each sura was shown. One cannot take a verse revealed for a battle and insist it is if for the daily affairs of Muslims.\n\n2. It was shown how Non-muslims who wish to attack Islam, conveniently leave out verses before and after their quoted verse. Above, I have shown only one of the many examples.\n\n \n\nSection II\n\nThis long list of verses from the Holy Quran and the Traditions of Prophet Muhammad (may peace be upon him) show that Islam at it's core and at its source is a religion of peace. Terrorists who persecute innocent people because of their faith are not welcome - their use of Islam as a scapegoat, does not make Islam what they portray it to be.\n\n2:256 There is no compulsion in religion, for the right way is clearly from the wrong way. Whoever therefore rejects the forces of evil and believes in God, he has taken hold of a support most unfailing, which shall never give way, for God is All Hearing and Knowing.\n\n16:82 But if they turn away from you, (O Prophet remember that) your only duty is a clear delivery of the Message (entrusted to you).\n\n6:107 Yet if God had so willed, they would not have ascribed Divinity to aught besides him; hence, We have not made you their keeper, nor are you (of your own choice) a guardian over them.\n\n4:79, 80 (Say to everyone of them,) 'Whatever good betides you is from God and whatever evil betides you is from your own self and that We have (O Prophet) sent you to mankind only as a messenger and all sufficing is God as witness. Whoso obeys the Messenger, he indeed obeys God. And for those who turn away, We have not sent you as a keeper."\n\n11:28 (Noah to his people) He (Noah) said "O my people! think over it! If 1 act upon a clear direction from my Lord who has bestowed on me from Himself the Merciful talent of seeing the right way, a way which you cannot see for yourself, does it follow that we can force you to take the right path when you definitely decline to take it?\n\n17:53, 54 And tell my servants that they should speak in a most kindly manner (unto those who do not share their beliefs). Verily, Satan is always ready to stir up discord between men; for verily; Sat

Surah Fatiha (The Opening) is the most important Surah of the Holy Qur'an and no Muslim prayer is complete without it according to the following hadith1 of the the Holy Prophet Muhammad: \n\n\n'Ubada b. as-Samit reported God's messenger as saying, "He who does not recite Fatihat al-Kitab (Surah Faatihah) is not credited with having observed prayer." \n \n\nThe translation and transliteration of Surah Faatihah (Holy Qur'an 1:1-7)2 is given below. You can also hear its recitation on-line. \n\n\n[Sound Clip: real audio stream]\n\n\nTransliteration English Translation \nA'uzu billahi minashaitanir rajim I seek refuge in Allah from the outcast Satan \nBismillahir Rahmanir Rahim In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful \n'Al-Hamdu lillahi Rabbil-'Aalamin (1:1) Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds,(1:1) \n'Ar-Rahmaanir-Rahiim (1:2) The Beneficent, the Merciful.(1:2) \nMaaliki Yawmid-Diin; (1:3) Owner of the Day of Judgement.(1:3) \n'Iyyaaka na'-budu wa 'iyyaaka nasta-'iin.(1:4) Thee (alone) we worship; Thee (alone) we ask for help. (1:4) \n'Ihdinas-Siraatal-Mustaqiim- (1:5) Show us the straight path,(1:5) \nSiraatal-laziina 'an-'amta 'alay him- (1:6) The path of those whom Thou hast favoured; (1:6) \nGayril-magzuubi 'alay him wa laz-zaaalliin. (1:7) Not (the path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray. (1:7) \n\n\nThe benefits of reciting Surah Fatiha are described in the following hadith3 of the the Holy Prophet Muhammad: \n\n\nAbu Huraira has heard God's messenger declare that God most high had said, " I have divided the prayer into two halves between me and my servant, and my servant will receive what he asks."\n\nWhen the servant says, " Praise be to God, the Lord of the universe, " God most high says, " My servant has praised me."\n\nWhen he says, "The compassionate, the Merciful," God most high says, "My servant has lauded me."\n\nWhen he says, "Possessor of the day of judgment," He says," My servant has glorified me."\n\nWhen he says, "Thee do we worship and of Thee do we ask help," He says, "This is between me and my servant, and my servant will receive what he asks."\n\nThen when he says, "Guide us in the straight path, the path of those to whom Thou art generous, not of those with whom Thou art angry nor of those who go astray," He says, "This is for my servant, and my servant will receive what he asks." \n \n\nSurah Faatihah is among the greatest gifts which were bestowed upon the Holy Prophet according to the following verse of the Holy Qur'an4:

Asalam Alaikum\nRemember the Bible has been changed and is not in it correct form as Allah has sent it down. That is why the Quran was sent and promised by Allah to be protected from deception. So even though some of the Bible may be true you can not take any of its text as true or not true. The Quran is the only book to find the truth in brother.

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.

There is very simple answer to your question. Go any corner of the World, Ask a Muslim to show you the Holy Quran (in Arabic) and it's the same. There are no versions of The Holy Quran. \n\nThe Holy Quran was Strictly Preserverved after it's first Publication and It's highly forbidden to change, add or remove even a word of any Verse of The Holy Quran (no matter even if it's for the purpose to simplify the meaning). \n\nAlthough, there is No Possibility of Corruption after it's first publication of The Holy Quran, there are some corruptions in Hadits. Hadits are The Narrations of Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). There are conflicts about the Corruptions in Hadits among Muslims, due to which there are different groups among Muslims too. But the major Doctrines of Islam are same (as the Holy Quran is not changed since it's first Publication).

some verses in the Holy Qur'an\nThat mention  that one thing is equal to another\n i.e. men are  equal to women.\n\nAlthough this makes  sense grammatically, the astonishing fact is that the number of times the word man appears in the Holy Qur'an is 24 and number of times the word woman appears is also 24, therefore not only \nis this phrase correct in the grammatical sense but  also true\nmathematically,\ni.e. 24  = 24.\n\nUpon further analysis of various verses, he discovered that this is consistent throughout the whole Holy Qur'an where it says one thing is like another.\nSee below for astonishing result of the words mentioned number of times in Arabic  Holy Qur'an\n\nDunia (one name for life) 115.

MashaAllah, that's great stuff, I was amazed. But mathematics is too limited for a miracle of Allah (Swt). Besides the point of the Holy Quran is to guide us to the straight path, definitely not through mathematics. \n\nDon't get caught in the number 19 theory either, I warned you...salam\n\n:o))

Which verse/ chapter did you read that? Would really like to know, could speculate on it further.

Welcome  !!!\n\nThe Holy Quran : Chapter: 6 (Al-An`am), Verse:126\n \n[6:126] So, whomsoever God intends to guide, He expands his bosom for the acceptance of Islam; and whomsoever He intends that he should go astray, He makes his bosom narrow and close, as though he was mounting up into the skies. Thus does God inflict punishment on those who do not believe. \n\nThe Holy Quran : Chapter: 3 (Al-`Imran), Verse:20\n \n[3:20] Surely, the true religion with God  is Islam. And those who were given the Book did not disagree but, after knowledge had come to them, out of mutual envy. And whoso denies the Signs of God , then surely, God  is quick at reckoning. \n\nThe Holy Quran : Chapter: 39 (Al-Zumar), Verse:23\n \n[39:23] Is he then whose bosom God  has opened for the acceptance of Islam, so that he possesses a light from his Lord, like him who is grouping in the darkness of disbelief? Woe, then, to those whose hearts are hardened against the remembrance of God ! They are in manifest error. \n\nPeace

I guess the concept of self defense can be expressed with one sentence. So I am not sure why the Quran needs to ramble on about war and violence ad naseum? Maybe its not about self defense.

you wrote isra 50  : 90 - 95 ... what kind of reference is this ??? \n\nSurah Isra is chapter 17 , its nto 50. and surah 50 is surah Qaf. and it has only 46 verses.. it does not have 90 verses. Check your references.\n\nThis is a LIE , that quran says Muhammad pbuh could not do any miracle. There are number of miracles which Prophet Muhammad pbuh did. If you dont think that miracle is a proof of prophethood, then its your perspective, all the earlier prophets approx, did miracles to proof their prophethood to the peoples\n\nIf one believes in Abraham, Moses, and other Messengers based on the writings in the Old Testament, he must believe in Muhammad based on the writings in the Last Testament, the Quran. Allah’s Messenger Muhammad, as a true Messenger of God, performed more than 1000 miracles by Allah’s leave. Those miracles were witnessed by many thousands of people. Generation after generation, people in the east knew about those miracles. It is time for people in the west to be informed about those miracles. \n\nAllah’s Messenger Muhammad’s miracles range in nature from splitting the moon to healing the sick, not to mention the many prophesies that came true exactly as he foretold. His miracles are much more authentically documented than the miracles of all the Messengers who preceded him. Thus, if one believes that Moses parted the sea based on the reports of the Old Testament, one must believe that Allah split the Moon as a sign that Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم is a true Messenger of God based on the reports of the Quran. The Quran is more authentically documented than the Old Testament. If one believes that Jesus cured the sick based on the reports of the New Testament, one must believe that Muhammad also cured the sick based on the report in the authentic Sunnah (reports of his speech, actions, and approval). If one believes that Jesus turned water into oil, one must believe that Muhammad turned a small amount of water into an amount sufficient for over one thousand men. \n\nsee the picture by nasa of evidences of splitting of moon >> http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap021029.html\n\nYes quran is also the miracle of Prophet Muhammad pbuh. becuase of its high eloquence in literature of Arabic. Where are those contradictions in QUran. you never quoted one????? \n\nQuran has challenge which no other book has\n\n"And if ye are in doubt as to what We have revealed from time to time to Our servant, then produce a chapter like thereunto; and call your witnesses or helpers (if there are any) besides Allah if your (doubts) are true. But if ye cannot – and of a surety ye cannot – then fear the Fire whose fuel is Men and Stones – which is prepared for those who reject faith".\n[Al-Qur’an 2:23-24]\n\n============================================\n\nEDIT >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..\n\nBrother, which verses are you talking about .... i already said that the references you gave are FALSE!!\n\nSurah Isra is chapter 17 , its nto 50. and surah 50 is surah Qaf. and it has only 46 verses.. it does not have 90 verses. and SURAH ANAM is chapter number 6. not 55. There is no mentioning in the quran where it says that Muhammad pbuh could not do any miracles. SO STOP YOUR LIES!\n\n======================\n\nTHE NASKH WHICH YOU TALKING ABOUT IS BECAUSE OF YOUR MISUNDERSTANDING. The quran was revealed in the period of 23 years. and it has different commandments for different types of people. Quran says there are good and bad people among jews and Christians, in chapter 3 , verse 110 . Therefore, we should be good to the good people, and we should be stricts towards bad people of society.... ITS NOT A CONTRADICTION. Where is the contradiction.\n\n========================================

growing from a child to a man? He is full of it. \n\nmuslims pray five times a day. morning, noon, afternoon, evening, and at night.\n\n- for each prayer they start with the opening book as you mentioned. then they pick any verses in the Quran and reading it as well. \n\n-when they bend they say three times "subhana rabeya al-azem". the highness of my God the great\n\n-when they bown down they say three times "subhana rabeya al-ala". the highness of my God the above everything. \n\n-they end the prayers\n\n-then they repeat the same process again.

rakah or rukat- could maybe be translated into 'units' thats how someone described it to me when i became muslim. Although there is no direct translation.\n\nAllahu Akabar! (takbeer), reciting the first chapter of the Quran (al-fatiah) another surah from the Quran, Ruku (when we bend down) and 2 sujoud (the prostration) is one Rakah.

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
