Sorry to bother you with this subject but we feel we have a duty to pass to you
some important concepts relating to faith.

IS THE QUR'AAN WORD OF GOD?


The Qur'aan is the Last Testament of God. It is a revelation of God in a form of
recitation given to Muhammad (pbuh) through Angel Jibreel. It was revealed verse
after verse and sometimes by chapter. After more than two decades, it was
completed. The first revelation was the Suratul Al-Alaq (96) in the 610
Christian Era (C.E.) at the cave of Hira, Makkah, Saudi Arabia, and the last
revelation: “AND FEAR THE DAY WHEN YE SHALL BE BROUGHT BACK TO ALLAAH. THEN
SHALL EVERY SOUL BE PAID WHAT IT EARNED, AND NONE SHALL BE DEALT WITH UNJUSTLY.”
QUR'AAN, SURATUL BAQARAH 2:281.

The final revelation (of the Qur'aan) was given in Madinah Munawarrah, Saudi
Arabia, 632 C.E. two weeks before the demise of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). The
message of the Qur'aan transformed the pagan and polytheist Arabs to God-fearing
people. It is un-Islamic to impose a Muslim's belief and understanding to a
non-Muslim concerning the Qur'aan to be the Word of God. But to make it fair let
us have criteria: the Word of God must ; 1) Be perfect 2) Be holy 3) Have no
fallacies 4) Have no contradictions.

Perfect: The Qur'aan was revealed in Arabic to an Arab and written in Arabic. If
ever translated to other languages, it is a Muslim tradition that the original
Arabic exists side by side with the translation. In case the translator
deliberately or undeliberately mistranslated the Qur'aan, it will be easy to
correct because of the existence of the original writing-the Arabic. The Qur'aan
is the fundamental of the Islamic politics, economics, sciences and the daily
life of an ideal Muslim. No revision has ever been made in the Arabic Qur'aan
since it was revealed.

Holy: No single pornographic story in the Qur'aan. It has no obscene story
unlike other so-called Sacred Books marred with indecencies. A Muslim will be
willing to die if the sanctity of the Qur'aan is mistreated. It is a great crime
in the Muslim world if somebody will maliciously alter or interpolate the
Qur'aan.

NO FALLACIES: All the verses in the Qur'aan are applicable to human beings.
There is no saying in the Qur'aan such as; "But I say unto you, That ye resist
not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right

cheek turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and
take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. And whosoever shall compel thee
to go a mile, go with him twain. Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou
shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your
enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for
them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;" (Bible) Matt. 5:39-44.
Those fallacies mentioned above had been rationalized by majority of the
Christian Missionaries that if somebody will do evil, in return, do to them what
is good. I fired a question once, does it mean that if somebody had raped your
mother and sisters and you caught them in the act, do you mean to offer them
milk or coffee then let them run away, love and forgive them? They (almost all
Christian Missionaries) did not answer and walked away. It is ridiculous and a
fallacy indeed: a person, who is merciful to others, yet has no mercy to his own
self and family. What is the use of loving other people, yet he is cruel to his
own family. He gives love and freedom to the culprits, is that justice?



QUR'AAN: NO ROOM FOR FALLACIES (NO LOVE FOR ENEMIES)

God says; "Fight in the way of God against those who fight against you, but
begin not hostilities. Lo! God loveth not aggressors. And fight them until
persecution is no more, and religion is for God. But if they desist, then let
there be no hostility except against wrongdoers." Qur'aan: (Surah Al-Baqara)
2:190, 193.


NO TURNING OF THE OTHER CHEEK (NO FALLACY):


"The two young men (Ansar and a Muhajir) fell into dispute and the one struck at
the back of the other. Thereupon he (the Prophet) said: Well, a person should
help his brother whether he is an oppressor or an oppressed. If he is the
oppressor, he should prevent him from doing it, for that is his help; and if he
is the oppressed, he should be helped (against oppression)." Sahih Muslim,
Hadith # 6254.

NO CONTRADICTIONS: The words of the Qur'aan are consistent and with wisdom.
There is no verse in it that ridicules the qualities and the very being of the
Creator. Unlike other so-called sacred books there are stories that are
contradicting to His Majesty and very degrading to His Power. Today only the
Qur'aan meets the four criteria to consider a certain book to be the Word of
God, as mentioned above

QUR'AAN AND THE CHALLENGE: "Say: Verily, though mankind and the Jinn should
assemble to produce the like of this Qur'aan, they could not produce the like
thereof though they were helpers one of another." Qur'aan (Surah Al-Israa)
17:88.
"And if ye are in doubt concerning that which We reveal unto Our slave
(Muhammad), then produce a “Surah” (chapter)…" Qur'aan (Surah Al-Baqara) 2:23.
Fourteen centuries have passed since that challenge yet no single Arab has met
it. The Qur'aan was revealed in Arabic form (one of the Semitic Languages) in
the midst of the Arabic speaking people. They were boasting of their fluency and
had possessed the finest tongue (especially poetry) in their generation: but all
of them failed to meet the challenge.

SCIENCE IN THE QUR'AAN: The Big Bang Theory & The Source of Life: "Do not the
Unbelievers see that the HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WERE JOINED TOGETHER (as one unit
of Creation) before We cloved them ASUNDER? We made from WATER EVERY LIVING
THING. Will they not then believe?"--Qur'aan (Al-Anbiyaa) 21:30.

THE EXISTENCE OF IRON: "We sent aforetime our apostles with Clear Signs and SENT
DOWN WITH THEM THE BOOK and the Balance (of Right and Wrong) that men may stand
forth in justice; and WE SENT DOWN IRON in which is great might, as well as many
benefits for mankind…" Qur'aan (Al-Hadid) 57:25.

Professor Armstrong who works at National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA) in U.S.A., stated "that if energy of the entire solar system will be put
together it is not enough to form one atom of iron." "Scientists believe that
iron is an Extraterrestrial that was sent to earth and not formed therein; in
calculating the energy required to form one atom of iron, it was found to be
about four times as much as the energy of the entire solar system combine
together."**

Muslims will accept science if it will not contradict the Qur'aan. When science
says that “matter cannot be destroyed,” Muslims should reject it. Allaah is the
only One Who cannot be destroyed


YARDSTICK


Very important to note, that we Muslims do not use science as a “YARDSTICK” of
what the Qur'aan is all about. I am just gathering few scientifical proof for
those creatures who consider science as the ultimate truth.

EMPHASIS ON THE
WORD “PAIRS”

“And all things We have created by pairs, that hopfully ye may reflect.”
Qur'aan (Az-Zariyat) 51:49

Today it is scientifically proven that even Fertilization (of human being)
comprises of OVUM AND SPERMATOZOA, even the plants have male and female sexes.
Salt is a combination of SODIUM AND CHLORINE. Air is composed of NITROGEN AND
OXYGEN. Water is composed of HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN. Electricity consists of
NEGATIVE CHARGE AND POSITIVE CHARGE.

God Almighty says:

O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me
I shall forgive you for what you have done,
and I shall not mind.
O son of Adam,
were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask
forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you.
O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and
were you then to face Me,
ascribing no partner to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as its
