you mean the koran ?It's the book which Mohammad the prophet of Islam says that it's the word of God, and so the Muslims believe in that
Koran is not a novel or a bioghraphy of someone. Muslims believe koran is the words of God. Most people said (even non muslim) the way it is written just like high level poetry.
Everyone watch out, there's a man named John calling us "murderers" and "hate mongers" because of our faith. Why he is posting on a discussion about the Quran, I don't know. I've complained about him, but just warning you that someone may be leaving hateful responses to what we say.
Matt wrote: "why is the Koran so redundant? I feel as though the book could be two chapters and tell all it needed to without extending it four hundred pages. I really need only to hear the story of Moses, Ab..."Also the Qur'an has a lot of other stuff in it too. Like about modesty, lying, cheating and things like that. The Qur'an also has other scientific facts, long before proper science came about it's pretty cool.
matt, i suggest you read explanation of quran, it will help.

FYI, Qur'an is not just one book revealed to prophet Mohammed all at once to convey it to people and that's it.
Qur'an verses revealed to our prophet in specific different times for different reasons.
to understand what all qur'an is about you need to know these things and to learn the exact meaning of the wording, and never take the words meaning abstractly because this is not telling the right meaning.
I guess people who is reading the non-Arabic Qur'an version needs to read an explanation along to support the understanding.
I really wish if i can recommend any other helpful book for Qur'an explanation, but i don't know any English reference for that.
but i promise if i got to know anything, i will come back here.
of course thing is if you really welling to understand the right meaning and purpose of Qur'an :)
eyy u guys ever read d english translation for the koran cuz it answers everything
and lol i cud read arabic too but not write it:(
Quran is the word of Allah it doent only tell the stories of Prophets but answers all questions and it is beautiful i advise everyone to read the translation
The reason some things are repeated is because the Koran (like the Bible) was sent down to people in fragments. It was revealed piecemeal by Allah through his Angels and the Prophet Muhammed. Each Surah therefore reiterates or reinforces something that has come before it - it is not a straight narrative that has a neat beginning, middle and end. This is not a fiction book so don't expect it to be in the format of one. What I'm curious about is why the first surah in some Koran's begin with Al Fatiha, and some with Bakara. There seems to be open-mindedness between Islamic scholars as they see the two as interchangeable.

The prophet Mohammed (PBUH) was Arabic and spoke Arabic. No Hebrew or any other language.
The Holy Qur'an was sent down in Arabic at many different times. It was written on palm fronds , bones and any thing they can write on.
After The Prophet had died , all of these written verses were collected to be in one book " The Holy Qur'an " .

Maybe because it's a book of signs, not science?
You don't get plain facts from it, it just guides you to think and meditate by telling you stories with a messages hidden in them.

The Quran is the book of wisdom and truth, it is the book of your creator of Allah, the only way to reach paradise is by practicing what he commands in the Quran. Nothing in the world compares to the Quran, you will find peace and wisdom in every word. Any problem you have, any calamity or doubt, you will find the answer in the Quran. Read and you will know and never again despair, never again feel in doubt. Know what is sincerity and truth and know what is wrong when you do not know what is wrong or right and know what is right when you do not know right from wrong. Read by Allah you will find the path Insha Allah!
A book is a book, that is all, the only power the book has is what you give it. The same is true for all idols, the only power an idol has is the power you give it. You may learn many things from books, both good things and bad things. We have the ability to study and evaluate; the power to question and seek answers. God did not write the book, God does not live in the book, and God does not command anyone by the book or any other book. "So Simple, So Simple, but it is the nature of man to make it difficult to understand."
If you must use the book to find God, I cannot imagine any reason to object. However, if you use your interpretation of the book to take God's name in vain or to justify hate and intolerance of another, or use it to control another, then I cannot condone your words. Then again, it is not my job to judge. Have a great day, God Loves You always!
Because it was taught orally for about 300 years before it was written down. Mohammed didn't even speak Arabic. This is incorrect, know your facts before you speak.
The Quran was collected by Zayd ibn Thabit in 655, 33 years after the Prophet Muhammad PBUM his death in 632. NOT 300 years as you claim without basis.

Allah gave this book directly from Him, this is his word directly from Allah. What would you know differently?
He commands you and every living, and in the Quran you will find his commandments. Know your place as your hands will testify what you wrote this day.

God does not command me or anyone. God gave us "Freedom of choice," if he wanted us to live directly under his every command he would not have done that.
Religious text are just books, that is all, why do you idolize those books? It just does not make sense. If you must love and respect something then start with yourself, then others, then God. That should be just fine with God.
As to my place, what place would you direct me to be, if you had that much control of the universe? But, it is ok, I understand your need for arrogance, however when you pass on you will know how useless that arrogance was.
God loves you always. May you find peace and love in your heart and mind.
Love always

The issue with much of this conversation is the Koran is easily disproven. There are simple mistakes in it that God would not make. It is certainly not the word of God and nor is Mohammad a prophet. There isn't a single prophecy he gave. If you're objective and want to be blown away then watch this.

The reason for the repetition of some of the verses of the Koran is that some aspects of the Quran miracle literary and linguistic narrative that the unbelievers were telling the Prophet that he came from this on the magic and can not come like again, God brings down the meaning of verses in other literary form challenged them even if you know the Arabic language see The wisdom of each repeated story is not the previous because the Qur'an cares about the wisdom of each story in the first place
I can help, and i know Arabic ....
