Product Information

Houssein Nahaboo, The Holy Quran ( The Holy Qurān: the Arabic text and its translation in the English language), by Mus-Haf Publication, Mauritius, 1987 not to be confused with his Frence translation of the Quran entitled Le saint Coran, published in 1983. Likewise, reading the Glorious Qur’an in a low voice is recommended. In this context, a hadith says, “The superiority of reading (the Glorious Qur’an) in a low voice over reading (it) in a loud voice is like the superiority of giving alms in secret over giving it in public.” (Reported by An-Nasa’i) Indeed, those who have believed and those who were Jews and the Sabeans and the Christians and the Magians and those who associated with Allah - Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed Allah is, over all things, Witness. Usama K. Dakdok, The Generous Quran ( The Generous Qur’an; An Accurate, Modern English Translation of the Qur'an, Islam’s Holiest Book), published by Usama Publishing (an independent company that specializes in the publication of material that equips Christians to be effective witnesses of Jesus Christ).

Anonymous" once more, but to be honest it seems rather unimaginative. Come on, Infidels, you can come up with something better than this, can't you? What would Dawkins do? I quite do not appreciate the catechism-like style of writing. There were plenty of repetitions. Several lines of thought were repeated: how Allah is all merciful and most benevolent (repeated before every chapter); how humankind emerged from a drop of holy sperm; how Allah is all-powerful and all-wise; et cetera. I never expected it to be a scientific book, and as the Bible, the writing style is geared toward indoctrination. The perspective is one of infallibility: the Qur'an only tells you that Allah is powerful, wise, and knows what is best for you. But it doesn't tell you WHY he is indeed claimed to be so. All you have to do is believe, and if you don't, you will face eternal destruction. I guess after reading this, I still conclude that Islam is not for me, and my personal conviction still holds ground. I am still an atheist.

If it's an attempt at a compromise solution, I very much doubt that the Muslims will buy it. Watch this space. God says, "I shall cast terror into the hearts of the Infidels. Strike off their heads, strike off the very tips of their fingers." He's doing a good job of casting terror. And "it was not you but God who smote them." So if you kill someone, it's God doing it and not you? Sort of absolves you of responsibility. Makram `Ibeid, the well-known Christian baby-kisser, memorized many elements of the Glorious Qur’an and used to cite them in his speeches and writings. The Qur’anic words, in reality, introduced sweetness and power to his speeches and writings.

Indeed, this Qur'an guides to that which is most suitable and gives good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a great reward. Wahiduddin Khan, The Quran, published by Goodword Books, New Delhi, India. Later also published under the title The Qur’an: Translation and Commentary with Parallel Arabic Text. The Muslims score again with "ALLAH" (all caps), who has also written Study the Noble Qur'an Word-for-Word Volume 2 and Study the Noble Qur'an Word-for-Word Volume 3. Mysteriously, there is no Volume 1. ALLAH has three quotes, of which the first is "لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الل" ("There is no god but ALLAH and Mohammad is his prophet"). But we should keep in mind that reciting the Glorious Qur’an in a loud voice is recommended in certain situations such as teaching the Qur’an and awakening a sleeping person. Also one should read in a mode that permits one to hear one’s recitation. So, 114 surahs later, I now have an opinion of what the Qur'an is. I was surprised at how some story lines are parallel to what I know the best, which is the Bible. There are characters that appeared in both, such as Noah, Abraham, Moses, even Jesus. The Jews and Christians both appear in the Qur'an, but unlike Christianity, for Muslims, Jesus is just another prophet. Somewhere the stories split, and there are characters that appear in the Qur'an but not in the Bible.Mohammad Abdul Hakim Khan, The Holy Quran ( The Holy Qurán. With Short Notes.

All fictitious romance, questionable history, and disputed theories have been carefully avoided), published by Rajinder Press, Patiala (India).

I must quote Burton's wonderful opening lines: PRAISE BE TO ALLAH - THE BENEFICENT KING - THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE - LORD OF THE THREE WORLDS - WHO SET UP THE FIRMAMENT WITHOUT PILLARS IN ITS STEAD - AND WHO STRETCHED OUT THE EARTH EVEN AS A BED - AND GRACE, AND PRAYER-BLESSING BE UPON OUR LORD MOHAMMED - LORD OF APOSTOLIC MEN - AND UPON HIS FAMILY AND COMPANION TRAIN -PRAYER AND BLESSINGS ENDURING AND GRACE WHICH UNTO THE DAY OF DOOM SHALL REMAIN - AMEN! - O THOU OF THE THREE WORLDS SOVEREIGN!I was a bit puzzled by the bed, but after a couple of chapters realized that it must be a "carpet-bed", presumably some kind of Middle Eastern futon. Just in case you were also wondering.

This not only helps in understanding the meanings of the Holy Quran but is also instrumental in strengthening the faith of the reader. The Qur’an is sometimes divided into 30 roughly equal parts, known as juz’. These divisions make it easier for Muslims to read the Qur’an during the course of a month and many will read one juz’ each day, particularly during the month of ramadan. No one dies unless God wills. The term of every life is fixed." A fatalistic view of life. Why be afraid of anything? You will not die until God wills it. In fact, that end is already fixed in time. During the 23 years of Muhammad’s( PBUH) time as a prophet, the verses of the Quran were memorized as they were revealed, and about 42 scribes wrote the verses on different materials such as paper, cloth, bone fragments and leather.d. His clarification that “Satan is of the jinn, and not of the angels” 39 is another shining example of his endorsing the orthodox, consensus Muslim view on this subject. Taking Satan as an angel is discordant with the Quranic angelology. Abdalhaqq Bewley& Aisha Bewley, The Noble Quran ( The Noble Qur’an: A New Rendering of Its Meaning in English). Arabic is richer not only in vocabulary but also in grammatical possibilities. Again, English is hardly comparable in this respect. While precise and logical, Arabic grammar is free of many limitations found in that of other languages, allowing for much wider expression. a. His definition of the Quranic appellation, ‘abd 36 (a slave of Allah) encapsulates the spirit of the God-man relationship in Islam.

After some research I have found the actual text in the Quran that proves that it does encourage sex with prepubescent girls (a.ka. girls who have not menstruated yet). Please find below the actual Arabic text, it's transliteration and it's translation. Again, I do not read/speak Arabic, but I trust my sources to be correct.Muhammad Asad (born Leopold Weiss), The Message of the Qur’an ( The Message of the Qur’ān; Translated and Explained by Muhammad Asad). A preliminary, limited edition of part of this work (comprising the first nine chapters of the Quran), was published in 1964. The complete edition was published in 1980 by Dar al-Andalus Limited, Gibraltar. Read Now →
