The Quran is less of a "Book of God" and more a "Transcript of God via Muhammad". It's not chronologically arranged, it's arranged from longest to shortest so it could be memorized easier. You have to remember that Arab culture was a oral culture and that the Quran(means The Recitation) were passed on word of mouth until over 100 years later when it was finally compiled.

At (Surah 18:89-98) Alexander the Great was a devout Muslim and lived to a ripe old age. Historical records however show that Alexander the Great died young at 33 years of age (b. 356 B.C. - d. 323 B.C.), and believed he was divine, forcing others to recognize him as such. In India on the Hyphasis River (now Beas) Alexander erected twelve altars to twelve Olympian gods. The Quran shows errors in historical and religious fact.

Take away: He was already far from islam the day he was born, following local traditions rather than religion itself. Eventually he realizes these TRADITIONS are flawed and instead of researching about the religion he decides to give up, blaming islam as incompetent and illogical. The biggest reason for the downfall of Islam in eye of the public is because of the same reason mentioned above, people dont wanna go the hard way, which is reading about the religion, rather choose the easy way out, which is listening to their guardians and preachers. The problem is that EACH AND EVERY person will tell you something else. Thats why Quran was revealed, to have a standardized copy of the teaching.

If the word "Allah/al-Ilah" is of pagan origin, then so is the Judeo-Christian term for God-"El/Eloah/Elohim" which are all dervided from the same root word as the Arabic. Does the fact that Jesus is known as "Immanuel" ("El/Al is with us") by certain Christian accounts really negate its meaning to his followers? And Arabic was written...in fact, there were a wide variety of Arabic alphabets, and dialects at the time.

The eternal problem of all man made religions: intolerance and fear mongering (= control over the masses). Yeshua, our lord and Savior, reveals and gives freely a liberating loving salvation, to have a personal relation with Him through His Spirit. Those of us that have been blessed in this regard understand and experience the amazing transformation that He brings. When John writes in the Book of Revelation: let him who has wisdom calculate the number of the beast, for it is a human number. The only Greek word with a number of 666 is paradosis. Which is translated as Tradition. The word is used 13 times in the NT (5 times by Paul, 5 times by Matthew and 3 times by Mark). 🙏

Two reasons when Islam started it was very open to new ideas and peoples. That's is how the managed to assimilate different peoples into Islam. The Arabs at the time of Islam was very backward and had no clue in running empires. So they let the locals do the running and did not impose Islam on the population. If they did their rule would soon end. Some say they were brutal and some rulers were but they did not last long. Brutal rulers never do last, the romans were the exception but they offered caveats for local populations, if they accepted roman rule eventually they come roman citizens. Of course the elites in Rome did not want that as it meant a challenge to their power. The Arabs felt the same so they did not want people to convert, well not fast enough. So for 300 years the Islamic empire was a rough diamond, it has most of the world's Christian population, but not many Muslims. Of course over time as taxes grew people just converted to Islam to avoid them, or did it out of fear or conviction. Eventually the Muslims got so good at civilisation they felt they had learnt all that was and closed the door to more learning. The door to ijtihad was closed - the door to reasoning. The Muslim world eventually ran out of steam and with nothing new coming up the pipe line declined. If you think the Muslim world is barbaric and yes in some parts they are, but compared to the West, they are nice guys who love not to kill people.

Re. Rushdie, speaking as an agnostic ex-Christian, who's fairly well informed about Islam, writing a book satirising a religion can certainly never justify violence, however I recently read the Satanic Verses and it reads like he deliberately set out to infuriate Muslims. It had a large amount of content based on the life of Mohammed that ridicules him and deliberately picks out especially embarrassing stories from the Islamic histories to dwell on. It also contains things like all the prostitutues in a brothel deciding to name themselves after Mohammed's 13 wives. It also specifically satirises the Ayatollah Khomeini. So, he must have known it would anger and annoy, but got more than he bargained for.
@livjackson87348 жыл бұрын
***** He made use of obscure stories that are theologically embarrassing to Islam, not necessarily things that are 'morally bad'. There are plenty of those in the sayings and histories too, but he didn't make use of them to the extent he could have if he'd wanted to just show Mohammed as being a 'bad person'. But the story he named the book after, for example, which is also an important episode in the book, wasn't known by a lot of Muslims before he did it, and is embarrassing because it shows Mohammed making a concession to polytheism - saying in a Quran verse to the Meccans that it's OK to worship their goddesses as intercessors with God, and then he changed his mind and said it didn't come from God but Satan made him say it instead... Strict monotheism is the most fundamental thing of all in Islam. No, I think people should be free to criticise or satirise Islam, but I'm just saying that when I read the book, having studied Islam a bit, I realised that it does contain a lot of elements that he would have known would piss Muslims off and that seem selected to do so. It doesn't excuse violence and threats towards him, but at the same time people shouldn't act surprised that Muslims were offended by it.

I have read his book. It's basically a collection of comments and quotes of detractors of Islam apart from his tutor M.Watt. He makes no mention or discusses counter arguments. Ibn Warraq fails to understand the central core of Islam is 'Imaan" or faith. I doubt whether he was ever a practicing Muslim during his adult life in England or offered salah which is the essence of Islamic practice. The problem with " imaan" is that you cannot analyse it without taking it in first. It's like describing the taste of orange without actually tasting it. Salah - ordinarily a three minute of body movements gives an overwhelming sense of peace and even joy if done correctly as taught by Prophet Muhammad. Salah also "stops" the person from forbidden acts like gazing at a nude person or lying, which I have observed happens when one offers salah correctly and this happens even to new Muslims offering their first salah and are not even aware that Muhammad taught salah achieves that for the believer. The first verse of the Quran's main chapter starts with the verse: "This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allah -Who believe in the unseen, establish prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them" Quran (2:2-4) I will like to know whether Ibn Waraq ever performed salah experienced that and then abandoned Islam.

@bozzeed You do know that Moses supposedly wrote the Laws of the OT given by his god (by the way the same god you follow) and Jesus followed his peoples traditions since he was a jew but muslims do not practice the Jewish laws given by one of the jewish gods ( and your god since you worship the jewish god). Its funny how muhammed took Jewish beliefs and claimed them for his own adding his own twist to an already established religon.

@PunjabiGabroo01 It means that I saw a different video...but thing you just said can't be possible...because in islam It's forbiden to kill someone who's not armed,old people,women or young children...in islam It's even preferable to avoid strikes to the face even during the war!!

Did Jesus come for peace? Mattew-ch-10-vs-34(Jesus speaking) Do not think I came to put peace upon the earth, I came to put, not peace, but a sword. 35- for I cam to cause division, with a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a young wife against her mother-in-law.

@bozzeed " i did read some of the jewish text " The Jewish Text was accepted in its present form by the man Jesus form where he supposedly quoted from it hundreds of times thefore since he is a prophet according to your beliefs the Entire OT should be accepted by muslims. But you claim your holy book represents the final words of the jewish god but many of the Teachings of Jewish god is contradicted in the Quran.

@bozzeed According to the Quran (Surah 20:90-100)a Samaritan helped the Israelites build the golden calf, and it mooed after coming out of the fire. In reality, Samaritans did not exist as a people until at least 1000 years after the time of the Moses and the Israelite exodus from Egypt. Again a problem of historical compression.

@bozzeed ALSO at Surah 19:28, 3:33-36) the Quran says that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was the daughter of Imran or Amram, the father of Moses and Aaron. Mary is also said to be the sister of Moses and Aaron. Clearly Muhammad confused Mary with Miriam

Of course Muslims do cause your book asks you to do so! You judge all religions and orders you to fight non-muslims! Which is not in any religion of the world but Islam. Honestly, The Terrorists show what the real Islam is!? Also, everyone has the right to say what does he think about!! Why Muhamed wanted to say everything he wants and replaces his words in Madina and no one said to him what are you doing?

"The first duty of a sincere man is to exercise no influence upon his own opinions, but to allow reality to be reflected within him as in the camera obscura of the photographer, and to be a mere spectator of the inward conflicts of ideas in the depths of his consciousness". -- Ernest Renan Muslims, feel free to join the thinkers world instead of the mere believers world as soon as you are ready. There is much more fresh air there.

Early scientific methods were invented by Greeks (measurement of Earth's diameter, for instance). Modern algebra (with integer, negative and fractional exponents, and complex numbers, and all of matrix algebra) and probabilities by European mathematicians. Arabs never gave a sign of discovering Kepler's laws with their algebra, much less Newton's law. Paper came from China, philosophy - the word as well as the thing - from Greece long before Mahomet was born. So please stop lying :-)

@lkaml1 I sense the usual self-righteous narcissism underneath the usual whining of "he/she know nothing about islam...." that comes out of self-denial to admitting that there's something wrong some with your religion's principles and claims or simply the inability to criticize yourself as well as the inability to open yourself to criticism. Ibn Warraq started learning arabic and reading the quran since he was a boy and is a top historian on Islam and Arabic!

@wowamonn well no body can prove physically that God exists. thats why we BELIEVE that God exists. there is plenty of evidence that he exists but not to those who close their eyes and allow seculars to rip them off!! other example, suppose you are married, and caught your wife cheating on you with another married man, how would you feel and what is the legal action (seculars law) that you can take?

Jeez, I"m halfway through and he's still just going on about his childhood (which wasn't even very religious at all). He's not got on to anything about his rejection of Islam. Badly structured talk and not good that he keeps reading, hardly looking up, and saying 'I think I'll skip a bit now' etc. I'm sure we were somewhat interested in what his background was, but we don't need every tiny detail of his childhood, we want to know why he, a famous critic of Islam, rejected Islam. Get to the point!... :-/
