Redy,

oh, unbelievable! Quran mentioned Maria!

Elba, when I read your post, I jumped to the chapter about Maria. but it seems that Maria of Quan is so different than Maria of Bible. each religion has its own explanation about the same stuff.

Yeah, I am an Atheist. so from my viewpoint, each explanation is for its own religion.

and in Quran, Juses was a messenger of Allah just like Muhammad!

Thanks RedRose for giving me the translator's name. I'll try to find that book.

It's good to hear that you wanna learn Arabic. At least u can count from 1 until 9 in Arabic. Don't give up, the task that takes a long time begins with one step (this is a proverb in Arabic). I can teach u Aranic if u want :) .

I totally agree with what u have said Elba. I also like this sense of quest in RedRose. Talking of the chapter of Maria, Maria of Bible is different than Maria of Quran. Moreover, Jesus is a messenger of Allah like Mohammed. We can talk in details about this issue. I'll be back to do so. If u have anything to discuss concerning this subject, RedRose, don't hesitate. I can inform u with anything dealt with each chapter.

I was going to say the same!! Everybody should be as open-minded as RedRose. She doesn't believe in religion, and yet she is interested in reading that book and seeing what it is like. I don't know many people who would do something like that. Great job, Zhu!!! ;) I am your greatest fan :D

Redy,

I´m your fan too, and Frengo, and Unknownsu and all EC members.
I know Quran has a different concept of Maria, but it is important you know this point of view and what she mean to muslims. I´m not defend the chatolic concept of the mother of Jesus, but I´m not atack it too.
What I mean is that people should know what the religious symbols mean for anothers in order to not ofend the feelings of nobody. After Quran you should read something about the Bible, and of course I recomend you the Apocrif chapters of the Bible. They would be difficult to find, but you can do it at Internet.

thanks, fans! I will read Bible (although I already read some chapters of Bible online). and Now I have to read Quran. :lol:

Sometimes, religion books can widen our sights, and help us learn other cutures. that is pretty cool.

thanks usama for your enthusiastic help. Muslim are so kind.

yeah, I are reading Quran in detail. In this magic book, some explanations for natural phenomena are very amazing. some phonemena have been proved by modern advanced instruments just in pass 1000 years, but Quran described and explained these phonemena more than 1000 years ago! that is a real mystery!

wow! the Arabic 12345 is so different than what I have known before! thank you for your kind help.

Thalia, this homework is so hard for me :cry: by comparison, I rather read Quran's stories of english version. :lol:

in this book, at beginning, the author mentioned a scary story, which was about Adam!!! Adam had two sons, one was Abel, the other was Cain...Cain killed Abel for a woman!

and in Quan, Adam(Peace be upon him :) ) was just a messenger of Allah. I had never known that Adam was in Islam this way before. each religion is so different than the others.

You are right! A lot of Non-Muslims think that we only believe in Mohamad(peace be upon him) as a messenger from Allah... and that is wrong....
We believe in Moses, Aron, Adam and Eve, Jesus, Job, Joseph, Jacob , etc..............

Great topic,Red rose!
You know, I was born a Muslim because my parents are Muslims.But I thought I should not take it for granted,like what most people do.I read many books about Islam and other religions ... and finally accepted Islam MYSELF although I was already a Muslim!! But now that I have done it I will never doubt or hesitate about this Holy religion!(I have started to learn Arabic in school in order to understand Quran better!!)You will enjoy reading Quran for sure! :D

I have briefly read through this forum and I must admit I am so impressed. No one is trying to force their opinions on anyone I put this down to REDROSE she is an amazing ambassador for this site. It is so nice that no one is judging or telling anyone what to believe; or forcing their opinions.

These are the only gifts that we really have in life (the right to form our own opinions). We all probably believe differently, and that is ok. We just have to accept that and gain the knowledge that we need to accept it.

Congradulations Redrose you are an inspiration.

I have looked at so many topics that end up in hateful words and you have just created a topic that everyone can feel free to open up in without being cut down. 8) 8)

I am very interested in Quran, too, so i have started to read it briefly, just to have a first idea of it (later I will do so more deeply). Sometimes I find some part needing an explaination. For example, have you already read the verse N. 34 inside the "An-Nisâ'" (sure number 4)? I have read that in Italian, so I'm sorry but I cannot post it here. I would like to have a comment not only from you, but also from some Muslim woman. Thank you!

Furthermore, can you please give me an example of the scientific demonstrations you have found inside the Quran? I would like to read some of them (give me the Sure number and verse). Thanks...

Alhamdullilah, I'm muslima and Quran is our best book. I've read half of it in my own language. It's the translation of meanings, I think it was the same which you read. (who mentioned about in english or other versions) Because there is written very valuable and difficult words to translate. We may understand it by our heart. Pitilliy, I don't know Arabic and I'm going to learn in future.

Good explanation sweets, I really admire your friendly relationship with all the EC family members. And offcourse QURAN is the holy book and reading it has good recompense/ rewards/Sawab.

Dear Maria,
Getting 18 or 19 to read Quran is not important, you can recite the holy Quran any time and try to recite it with sweet voice so you yourself would love your voice reciting it.

Thanks to the one who started this post. Be Happy :-)

Good Post MSIQ.
Quran is undoubtedly the holy book of Allah (SWT) and is really a good guidance for the people.
Coming to your point Shayni, It is better to understand the meaning of Quran, however you need to recite the actual words of Quran and then read the translation. If you are just reading the translation not the Quranic Words (Ayats, Surah etc) then that is not called RECITATION (TILAWAT). you will only get reward for the translation not the actual reward for Recitation. Because Quran is to be only recited in ARABIC language.

For me it's not those arabic ancients prediction, but more to God's power to control the space and time. That's why, many scientific discoveries nowadays are compatible with ayaah in quran that was written long time ago (dont know exactly, hehe). Because God know what will happen in the future as His existence is in the whole space and time. :)

Quran is the holy book of Muslims.Quran says Islam is the continued faithful religion, People who live in Islamic countries should know about these things because this will help them learning more about their tradition culture.There are Islamic books available in the market which tells them more about Islam and their religion.

Quran is the holy book for all Muslims around the world. For more than 1400 years, it was preserved in all possible ways from distortion. The considerable increment and spread of digital media and internet usage, led to many organizational and individual websites, services, and applications are being introduced to spread the knowledge related to Quran as well as Quran Verses, Translations, Explanations with the Tafseer and other Quranic sciences in its digital formats, some of these services are less trustworthy.

Re: Quran

I'm a Muslim from India and I'm presently studying an English translation of the Qurán. In India (+ Pakistan + Bangladesh), the tradition is that children are taught how to read the Qurán at an early age by a Hafiz (someone who has byhearted the entire Qurán) and then children memorise some short chapters of the holy book to be recited in the five daily prayers. The message of the Quran is also taught to children so that they imbibe and follow. This way all the necessary religious information is imparted to children But now the educated among the Indian Muslims are going further than mere necessity andare trying to understand the Quran in its entirety. India is blessed to have produced a number of formidable Quranic scholars in the modern era. Abdullah Yusuf Ali, the world renowned translator of the Quran, was an Indian. Also there is a vast corpus of esoteric Quranic literature available in Urdu, an important language of India.

I am right now reading Surah Takwir ( chapter 81). All the sincere readers of the Quran should try to follow what they read, only then they would imbibe the truth of the Quran.

The Quran is Arabic par excellence but translations are still good for laymen. There is no need to be unnecessarily suspicious about translators or their translations. More important thing is to ponder over the Quran in the best manner that we can. Insha Allah.

The Quran deals with all the subjects which concern human beings: wisdom, doctrine, worship, transactions, law, etc., 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 Quran calls its way "... The ways of peace ..." (Quran: 5:16). It describes reconciliation as the best policy (4:128), and states that God abhors any disturbance of peace (2:205).
