Do we need books to believe in God?

You saying G-D's Guidance doesn't guide ?!
Or, that it doesn't guide the deaf/dumb/blind who reason not ?!You use your eyes to read the Quran. Does that mean your eyes guide you? It doesn't. The Creator gave you equipment and the data. It is your job to turn it into information. The only souls who fail to do so are the ones blinded by a disease in their hearts. They are sick. Their souls are in coma, neither dead nor alive. They did not use their equipment hence they are dumb, deaf and blind.

Ignoratio elenchi.
The Qurn does guide,
those who are willing to be guided. -

The Qurn is not a "road," but a Light shining/illuminating in the darkness (as i pursue), it guides/leads to the straight/correct path, that's it's main purpose/duty .

That the Quran can both guide and misguide only shows its double-edged nature, like every thing.
Again, who guides? The light shinning in the darkness or the one who made the light shine?

The Light guides/directs/leads by the Will of its Maker/Assigner.
To me, the Qurn is the message-bearer G-D's Messenger.
Conveying G-D's Message/s is what it does. -
I had the same dilemma about this concept of God, knowing all, and still testing humans and rewarding / punishing accordingly. It's like playing a game in God Mode. You know what's gonna happen, yet you still play. Well, I can only hope that it isn't the case here.
To avoid deviation from the subject, I opened a new topic

I actually agree with Invalid777. That's the reason why traditionalists can't see those anti hadith verses.
And it's why they wrote a false interpretation of the Reading(Quran) and had to invent a false language. For example, SJD to the Muslims is a physical movement. It would be like me randomly claiming today that the word 'thinking' is to prostrate. It takes an extreme amount of deception to go around and tell people to prostrate when they hear the word 'think'.
No matter how much knowledge you provide them(Quran, Tora, Gospel), they'll never get it. They are not self-aware. "I believe in God/Allah and his book/s" are just empty words they parrot. They don't know themselves so how can they know their Creator? They can't. They are "kafireen".
Become self-aware and you will know your Creator and receive knowledge from The Source of Knowledge. Knowledge is not limited to the Reading(Quran) but you also have access to the knowledge you were created with in your Ruh. The Reading(Quran) is a physical copy of what is within you(Ruh). This is why these traditionalists can't see the anti hadith verses. Their hearts are sealed, unaware of themselves. Only the Creator can make someone become self-aware, not a book, stone or human.MUHSIN KHAN
"Those who reject Our signs are deaf and dumb in darkness. Allah sends astray whom He wills and He guides on the Straight Path whom He wills." (639)Quote from another website
Allah has set a seal on the heart of the kafireen
"As to those who reject Faith it is the same to them whether thou warn them or do not warn them; They will not believe. "Allah hath set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing and on their eyes is a veil Great is the penalty they incur."
2. The word qalb in Arabic means heart as well as intelligenceThe Arabic word qalb used in these verses means the heart. It also means intelligence. Thus the above verses also mean that Allah has put a seal on the intelligence of the kafirs (unbelievers) and they will not understand and believe.
3. In the Arabic language heart is also used as a centre of understanding
In the Arabic language the word 'heart' is also used to connote one's centre of understanding.
