'If you follow the majority of people...'

Salaams all on this nice thread,
Don't mind but, I think allah is speaking with the prophet.
Thanks.

For a short period I was wondering from this statement whether the majority of people on this planet could ever be muslims, then figured that the verse still holds true for everyone. As long as they find their way to the majority via the Quran rather than rely on what the majority says, then it works out. It all goes back to the argument of questioning tradition, and using your intellect to figure out your purpose in life, which in this case is outlined in the Quran.

Peace be upon you Beatnik,
As long as they find their way to the majority via the Quran rather than rely on what the majority says, then it works out.
So the Quran is the partner with the God?
What about the others who have faith in the God, faith in the ending time, and lead a righteous life, but do not have the book being called "Quran"?

Peace,
I think there's a great thread Marie posted, "the few vs. the many". God never promises the believers large numbers, He promises victory, success and that His deen will prevail over all other ways of life. It always irks me when I read those brags, "Islam, the fastest growing religion in the world". I guess that's the key, the man-made religion they call islam is growing; pitiable if it's true.

Peace be upon ou Brother Fazl,
I am not sure how that verse fits with the discussion.
