Why do you beleive the Quran to be the Word of GOD?
-
Really I do not know of anbody who has attempted to produce a book like the Qur'an. Those who dispise it would feel it was beneath their "dignity" to write such a thing. And those who say they have read many things better than the Qur'an really do not know the Qur'an, they are Qur'an blind becaused they have already boxed it in some slot marked "blabber". In order to read the Qur'an, the real, you have to leave outside all preconceived notions and be utterly honest. It is not for nothing that the Qur'an says that only the pure can touch it. Sice the Qur'an is in the memore, the touching is not of course of some paper but of its content.
And the ore we leave behind ruminated stuff when dealing with the Qur'an, the better for us. I am grateful to God that so many quandaries of principle I have met the Qur'an has answered clearly and purely. It is at the particular service of none and it is a light for each person who seeks honestly.
Alhamdulillah

The experience with the Quran the first time I read it, was very inspiring for me. I powered through it in a week and a half, and by the time I finished reading it I knew I was a Muslim. I had never, and still have never, read something that made me feel an intrinsic sense of guilt for my previous actions and ignorance. Since then, I have read the book front-back again, and continue to read it now. I constantly come out of my reading feeling as though I know and/or understand more about how God wants me to serve Him. And I always feel obligated to apply my new-found knowledge.
I've read a lot of books, many with great lessons. But none have affected me in the same way as the Quran.

Peace Ikrame,
I am just waiting for the day when you can read my interpretation and translation of the recitation (Quran), God willing. Then you will never doubt that it was inspired by God.
So far any inconsistency has been due to people unable to interpret the old Arabic words correctly. Do not lose faith because it seems to tell you something irrational such as cutting hands of thieves or walking around a black cube in a city called Mecca or praying towards it or making "pilgrimage" there or being beaten by husbands or many other things. And there is still falsehood in it (the interpretation) needing to be solved.
God bless you

I think I read Agatha Christie to say about intuition that it is the summing up at any given moment of things one knows but cannot show a registry of each thing one knows. Not her words, but I think her meaning. Intuition is like the update of our objective experiences. If others need proof of what we say through "intuition" and we cannot give it, it does not mean that it is false, but that we cannot keep account of everything we know. Sometimes we know wrong and intuition fails us, but overall I would give it a good record.

Agatha Christie?
I like her fictional character "Hercule Poirot".

Reminds me of the moustache too...
Seems like and unlikely author to mention here but the fact is that that explanation of intuition struck me as probably true, though of course emptied it of mistery.

Because this Book just keep suprising me )
For example, last month scientific study confirmed that fasting can regenerate entire imune system, I mean, how could Muhammad or anyone else knew this thousands of years ago, author of the Quran just can't be a man. And this is just one example, there is hunderds of them.Unfortunately only small number of muslims actually truly understand Quran.

People hundreds of years ago... and why not thousands... probably understood much more about what works well for the human body. It is in these days of splitting the atom we totally have lost track of all things holistic and natural. We just try to solve it all with pills or scalpels. So I don't think it would have been to strange an idea for people long ago to see the connection between a fast and a strengthening of the health.
Of course... this was not a remark on the divine origins of the quran.

Peace,
Hello. You should praise God for giving the message to Muhammad.
God bless you

I believe everything is from God, so does Quran. I will praise God and then to his Prophet Mohammed for the message.
Don't forget to praise Isa, Ibrahim, Adam, Noah, David, and all the rest too ;D

Yes, Man of Faith,
anything wrong in thanking anyone and even praising someone for sharing us with his God given blessings?
Existential1,
Yes, Praise to all the God's noble creations that aid us, includes the Sun, moon, stars, natural forces and those men who are favored by God to help others. -
Peace,
It was their mission in life and they would not want to accept praise and they had their reward. If you would praise then these people would have responded "praise God, I am only relaying the information". They praise God for guidance and so should everyone else.
If they are to get a compliment it is perhaps a 'thank you', but then it is likely that they would reply "thank God". Why accept praise when God is responsible for the guidance and inspiration?
God bless you
