A way of life。 Thorough passages on past generations and civilizations。 Stories of past messengers and the message they provided to their community。 A lesson in discipline， generosity， resistance， faith， and being in awe of Allah。

Ok read。 Language barrier bit of a problem。 Don’t necessarily agree with the things they say about women， but I appreciate the risks the author takes nonetheless。 2。5/5

Welcome everyone on this day （24 Mar 2023 the second day of Ramadan） I finished the greatest book in this universe And I wanna talk about despite the fact Quran talks about itself I've had the worst religious OCD and I was so worried and doubtful about Islam and stuff like that also a lot of bad things happened like sadness And I started to study the Quran so I can compare it with other religions I just wanted to know the truthBut！ After finishing the Quran my life changed so much like I am a br Welcome everyone on this day （24 Mar 2023 the second day of Ramadan） I finished the greatest book in this universe And I wanna talk about despite the fact Quran talks about itself I've had the worst religious OCD and I was so worried and doubtful about Islam and stuff like that also a lot of bad things happened like sadness And I started to study the Quran so I can compare it with other religions I just wanted to know the truthBut！ After finishing the Quran my life changed so much like I am a brand new person and it's not only this after finishing this book I have 4 points to say1。 The grammar issues and the contradictions in the Quran: absolutely nothing！ Like a miracle， I've seen millions of people reverting to Islam after they studied the Quran and they find out the truth about how true and impeccable this book and the British Museum has the oldest copy of the Quran （1400 old version）！！！！！ And guess what no single change！！！！ Not even a word or an extra dot and that is undoubtedly proof this book is from God “And if you are in doubt as to what We have revealed to Our servant， then produce a surah like it， and call upon your witnesses besides Allah” [2:23] -God2。 Comparing the Bible and the Quran: I read the Quran and Also the Bible but the Bible arrived like 2000+ years ago and the Quran 1400+ years ago sadly the oldest Bible book is from 1100 years ago unlike the Quran the oldest Quran known is written during the same Mohammed's life period with his companion so that a pure proof that there are no changes the Bible is missing hundreds of years and that's sadly made Bible scriptures not trusted as much as the Quran also I didn't like （song of songs） in the Bible it's so abnormal and I don't believe that god will do that to his book 3。 The miracles of the Quran: Among these miracles found in the Quran are everything， from relativity， quantum mechanics， Big Bang theory， black holes and pulsars， genetics， embryology， modern geology， thermodynamics， and even the laser and hydrogen fuel cells and much more like how can an illiterate person in the middle of the desert in the dark ages know all of this no！ This must be from God 4。 How The Quran changed my life: Quran taught me so many things that changed my life I felt so much happiness and stop caring about what bad people do and say it made me so careless about my sadness and reminded me that this life is just a test and temporarily unworthy At the end of this review I wanna thank God for letting me read his book and I highly recommend y'all to read it it's so significant and invaluable May God bless you all。 。。。more

The least Christian thing I have read in quite some time （*ba dump tss*）。 But seriously， this was a very strange book。 From the apologetic argument sections against Christians and Jews， to the comical image of talking baby Jesus， I never knew what was going to come next。 The talking baby Jesus was especially weird given that the book insists multiple times that Jesus is an ordinary human being （a talking infant seems a little extraordinary to me）。 Overall， there was a general trend of retelling/ The least Christian thing I have read in quite some time （*ba dump tss*）。 But seriously， this was a very strange book。 From the apologetic argument sections against Christians and Jews， to the comical image of talking baby Jesus， I never knew what was going to come next。 The talking baby Jesus was especially weird given that the book insists multiple times that Jesus is an ordinary human being （a talking infant seems a little extraordinary to me）。 Overall， there was a general trend of retelling/borrowing Biblical stories and then changing seemingly random details in those stories。 Also， it was unclear what the importance was of the stories that are told about the Biblical characters who are the descendants of Isaac rather than Ishmael。 In the end， I think my main take away is that it is hard to imagine how people could conceive of the god who supposedly wrote this book as being the same as the God of the Bible。 P。S。 I guess this isn't a positive or negative thing， but the chapter length dropped off drastically by the end。 For example， the 2nd and 3rd chapters were longer than the last 30 chapters combined。 Like I said， it was a very strange book。 。。。more

As a homosexual， I have my expected grievances with this particular work of fiction。 That being said， I'm quite fond of islamic culture， music， literature and history。 Always have been。 But my issues with ALL organized religions prevent me from possibly giving a positive rating。 I simply couldn't bring myself to provide anything above a one star。 As a homosexual， I have my expected grievances with this particular work of fiction。 That being said， I'm quite fond of islamic culture， music， literature and history。 Always have been。 But my issues with ALL organized religions prevent me from possibly giving a positive rating。 I simply couldn't bring myself to provide anything above a one star。 。。。more

Not sure if reading it resolved the personal issues which led me to read this。 Not sure if it would be disrespectful to bring up the criticisms I have。 On a positive note， it reminded me of the book of Hebrews or John’s Gospel。

"Imagine how many prophets we sent to those destroyed before！ But no prophet ever came to them without being mocked。"— Surah Az-Zukhruf （43:6-7） "We certainly brought the truth to you， but most of you were resentful of the truth。"— Surah Az-Zukhruf （43:78） "Are they waiting for the Hour to take them by surprise when they least expect it？ Close friends will be enemies to each other on that Day， except the righteous，" — Surah Az-Zukhruf （43:66-67） "Then the evil consequences of their deeds overtoo "Imagine how many prophets we sent to those destroyed before！ But no prophet ever came to them without being mocked。"— Surah Az-Zukhruf （43:6-7） "We certainly brought the truth to you， but most of you were resentful of the truth。"— Surah Az-Zukhruf （43:78） "Are they waiting for the Hour to take them by surprise when they least expect it？ Close friends will be enemies to each other on that Day， except the righteous，" — Surah Az-Zukhruf （43:66-67） "Then the evil consequences of their deeds overtook them， and they became overwhelmed by what they used to ridicule。"— Surah An-Nahl （16:34） "Had Allah willed， He could have easily made you one community of believers， but He leaves to stray whoever He wills and guides whoever He wills。 And you will certainly be questioned about what you used to do。"— Surah An-Nahl （16:93） "They wish to extinguish Allah's light with their mouths， but Allah will certainly perfect His light， even to the dismay of the disbelievers。"— Surah As-Saf （61:8） "Have you seen O Prophet those who have taken their own desires as their god？ And so Allah left them to stray knowingly， sealed their hearing and hearts， and placed a cover on their sight。 Who then can guide them After Allah？ Will you all not then be mindful？"— Surah Al-Jathiya （45:23） "When they entered Josephs presence， he received his parents graciously， and said "Enter Egypt， Allah willing， in security。"— Surah Yusuf （12:99） "And remember， O Prophet， when the disbelievers conspired to capture， kill， or exile you。 They planned， and Allah planned， and Allah is the best of planners。"— Surah Al-Anfal （8:30） "Indeed， Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves。 And when Allah intends for a people ill， there is no repelling it。 And there is not for them besides Him any patron。"— Surah Ar-Ra'd （13:11）I could keep going， there's bangers throughout the whole book， perhaps on every single page。 The thing is that as an aesthete I often find myself smiling at the beauty of what is written in this book。 Obviously I think that it has spiritual value， but it also has aesthetic value independent of spirituality， which is why the Qur'ān is considered the finest work in Arabic literature。 I wrote about this for my Religious Studies degree where I had to choose a religious text and write about how it has been used in two different contexts， and I mentioned how it is appreciated in Islamic countries （Egypt was my specific examples） purely for it's aesthetic value。 It's a unique religious text。 I think the thing with me is that I'm reading it as someone who wasn't brought up in Islam， so I can read and appreciate it with unconditioned eyes， and I do appreciate it。 I know there are some controversial verses （ayats） but that's where we have to use critical thinking。 We still have to use reason to point out inconsistencies and things that aren't right in religious texts。 That's one thing the Dalai Lama keeps mentioning。This book is often misinterpreted， but again， all books of spiritual value are。 How religious texts are received and interpreted depends entirely on the level of consciousness of the reader which is mirrored to themselves in the respective text。 Five stars from me based on what I have read of the Qur'ān， even purely for its aesthetic value like I said， and I don't understand it in Arabic so I know I'm not even reading it right。 When I'm back in Muslim lands I want to study it proper and learn about Sufism as it is actually practised， because Sufism is a spiritual path that my soul seems to be attracted to。 And it seems a primordial form of spirituality， meaning that the state of consciousness it leads to is the same state of consciousness that any authentic spiritual path will lead to， so it doesn't seem to contradict the path I'm already on。 In my academic studies of religion （and even outside of academia） I noticed A） that all religions are saying something so similar that it seemed ridiculous to me that wars and violence have occured over religion。 B） there is a golden thread of truth running throughout all authentic religions and spiritual systems。 And C） each religion does one thing or embodies a spiritual principle better than all the others， meaning that they are all pieces of the patchwork quilt of human spirituality。 I decided that the key word I'd attach to Islam is Beauty。 。。。more

Interesting read。However very repetitive one。 Most of it tells you that you have to give your everything and believe in God， that he sees everything。 And if you don’t obey， you’ll end up in hell like other disbelievers。 Pretty sad that even tho it keeps saying that God is forgiving， he does not forgive you for not believing and you’ll end up in hell …On the good side， I like how women are treated。 Not at all what I imagined。 Also like their ideas on violence。

Looked through alot of atheism books or books that go against the general logic of god。 But the Quran itself， which supports god's existence， is by far the greatest book one can ever read。 Looked through alot of atheism books or books that go against the general logic of god。 But the Quran itself， which supports god's existence， is by far the greatest book one can ever read。 。。。more
