The Qur'an itself is a very powerful text with a clear theme of monotheism, which also strongly focuses on the aspects of God's (Allah) almighty power. God created everything and everyone does equally depend on God, to live by his words and act properly so that God take care of them and their well-being.

However, the content of the Quran are some what contrasting in many ways. For instance, there are many citations about how God created the heavens and the earths and everything in between them, and also saying that there can not be and are no flaws about God's work, while right after asking about if people can see anything wrong with the work and if it has any

    The Islamic belief is based off of an almighty, magnificent God who has fashioned the world and who controls each and every part of the world down to the smallest detail. Islam is considered to be closely related to the other monotheistic religions of Judaism and Christianity, and all three religions worship the same God. The idea of God’s power receives the greatest importance in Islam. The most basic concept of Islam is that there is only one God. Since there is only one God, only this God has the right to be worshipped. None…

    In February 2013, Ingrid Mattson had published her book titled, The Story of the Qur'an, from Malden, MA. Mattson had written this book after she taught a course about the Qur'an at Hartford Seminary and wanted to provide an academic and comprehensible history and interpretation of the Qur'an. She pursued to make the book elaborate enough for anyone interested in the subject, whether or not they were general readers or Islamic researchers. In writing this book, Mattson's goal was to assist people in determining the meaning of the Qur'an and what it contains. The author wanted to provide additional interpretation on the subject and help some people avoid the general perspectives they perceive that the Qur'an contains, without knowing having…

It contains wisdom, doctrine, worship, transactions, law but its basic theme is the relationship between God and His creatures. At the same time, it provides guidelines and detailed teachings for a just society, proper human conduct, and an equitable economic system.…

    The Koran

    • 2 Pages

    The Koran is the word of Allah, the one true god to the Muslim faith; it is the most important book in the world to people who practice Islamic religion. They believe that the Koran was reviled to their prophet Muhammad (Mohammad). It is said that it first started coming to Muhammad while he was meditating in Mecca when the angel Gabriel appeared to him, he then was commanded and began to recite the scripture in Arabic. The "Opening", the most memorized and recited Surah in the Islamic religon starts as as the other two Surahs do, stating that god is merciful and compassionate. It says how he is the main, true god and the master of the Day of Doom, like judgment day or the rapture. It ends in telling us that he's the only god you'll serve if you're Muslim and asks him to guide them on the right path, one of righteousness like the faithful Muslims who God, Allah, have blessed before them and not to let them be like others who stray away from the religon in their belifs or actions. As stated before the next excerpt starts with the same phrase, "In the Name of…

    Some of them are similar to the beliefs of other religions. For instance, both Muslims and Christians believe in God, although they use different names to refer to him; however, they have some beliefs that are very much different from other religions. Although, according to Haddad (1993), they believe that God revealed himself in the Psalms, the Jewish law and the Gospels, they are of the view that the Christian bible is corrupted. According to them, the Qur’an is the ideal Book for the word of God; anything else is just but a collection of corrupt writing by human beings. “It is such viewpoints by the Muslim community that brings a lot of differences with other religions. The Christians take such beliefs as a sign of disrespect for their religion and this normally brings tension between the two religions,” says…

    Essence of Holy Quran

    • 2682 Words
    • 11 Pages

    www.detailedquran.com It has long been the position of most Muslims that in order for one to be a Muslim they needed to follow two sources of Islam. The first was the Holy Qur‟an; the second was the Hadith and Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad. It was stated that the Hadith and Sunnah explained the Qur‟an and supplied details where the Qur‟an had none. In short, there was at least an implicit understanding and teaching that the Qur‟an was an incomplete source of guidance needing other sources to supply details that it did not have. “The month of Ramadan is that in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for mankind, and clear proofs of the guidance, and the Criterion (of right and wrong).” (2:185) “Blessed is He Who hath revealed unto His slave the Criterion (of right and wrong), that he may be a warner to the peoples.” (25:1) We shall first note that the Qur‟an is the Criterion (between right and wrong) that Allah has revealed upon humanity, we must therefore analyse the Qur‟an to see what it says about its completeness. To this end we must analyse the relevant ayahs on this topic. "And certainly We have repeated for humankind, in this Qur’an, every kind of example, but the majority of humankind do not consent to anything but denying." (17:89) “We have put forth for humans, in this Qur’an, every kind of example so that they may remember” (39:27). Here, Allah tells us that He has explained every kind of example for our Guidance within the Qur‟an. Thus, when Allah Himself tells us that every kind of example is within the Qur‟an, does the Muslim need to look elsewhere for examples? We must note that the purpose of the Qur‟an dictates in what way the Qur‟an is complete and detailed; we are told in the Qur‟an: “This Book, there is no doubt in it, it is a guide to those who keep their duty” (2:2) Here we must note that since the initial audience of the Qur‟an were people living in a desert city 1400 years…
