    Dear Wakas, I will be grateful if you provide some other links of your articles/study for a comprehensive study of the above in addition to the link you provided. The link you provided was useful but still one feels thirst.

    like the ones for Toshihiko Izutsu or Neal Robinson .

      Any work would simply be a study of the Quran occurrences, thus one can simply study the occurrences themselves.
      I dont know if he discusses the word here, or in his other book "God and man in the koran", but you can find it here
      http//www.archive.org/details/Toshihiko.Izutsu_Ethico-Religious.Concepts.in.the.Quran

      All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

        peace all,

        The top 5 misconceptions are usually

        /muhammad-married-young-girl.htm
        /cut-off-hands-theft.htm
        /death-for-apostasy.htm
        /stoning-to-death-adultery.htm
        /alcohol-is-forbidden.htm

        The site gets about 9000 page views per month.

        It could be a lot more if promoted. Click here to find out how.

          Perhaps this has had a role to play in increasing forum members. I myself have recommended this site many times in web debates etc. It is excellent.

            obama was asked about his religion and why he chose to be a christian.

            jesus is about love, forgiving, understanding, being your brothers keeper, charity, giving. although very much commercialized, still christmas is about family and charity.

            islam is about woman covering head to toe, praying 5 times a day, fasting,

                    peace all,

                    Can you help with this?

                    Calling all budding writers and graphics designers out there.

                    The website Misconceptions-About-Islam.com is looking to add printable leaflets for each of its Misconceptions, so visitors can print them out and spread the word in their local communities if they wish to.

                    They will simply be condensed versions of each Misconception text, with some nice/simple colours, borders, pics, etc. Likely A5 in size. You can design it how you want, and the best ones will be made available on the site.

                    The site currently generates over 13 000 page views per month.

                    All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

                      Salaam brother Wakas,

                      I humbly suggest you to add Arabic text to misconceptions-about-islam.com where ever the aayaats are quoted as it is really important as per my understanding.

                      AlQuraan is sent in Arabic language, so when we are quoting it, the original text must be added with the translation.

                      May Allah guide us all to His only path pr
                      Mohammed M. Khan

                              Update

                              Someone helped create the flyers for all misconceptions

                              You can download and print them from here www.misconceptions-about-islam.com/flyers

                              And the site reached almost 20 000 page views last month, its highest so far.

                              Spread the word.

                                peace all,

                                I would like to compile a list of common misconceptions about Islam, that can be easily corrected using The Quran.

                                If you know of examples or articles discussing this, please state them here so I can review them.

                                The content will be released for all to use once done.

                                Thanks.

                                And where can I find the #1 common misconception about islam?
                                #1. ISLAM IS NOT A RELIGION

                                      peace all,

                                      Want to write for a website that gets about 25k page views per month?
                                      See
                                      http//misconceptions-about-islam.com
                                      http//learn-about-islam.com

                                      Suggest a misconception here and write a short Quran-based article for it. See the many examples on the sites above for a guide.

                                      All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

                                        Salaam Wakas,

                                        Can you include Prophet was not illiterate but gentile? Also to include misinterpretation of QS 2948 as argument to support prophet illiteracy.

                                        Thanks

                                          w/salaam,

                                          Please see

                                          Suggest a misconception here and write a short Quran-based article for it. See the many examples on the sites above for a guide.

                                          All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.
