"Quran Only" vs "Quran + Worship Practices"
-
Peace David_K
I think the concensus on the meaning of "quran" is reading and Al-Qur'an as "The Great reading" . Since we all know that sciences of whatever disciplines are written in books , it is not wrong to say we follow Qur'an only or adhering to Islam accoding to what The Great Reading prescribed . One of the verses believed to be the first of the revelation was Iqra which means "read" or "recite" , so it is clear that The God told or recommend to all mankind , believers or otherwise to read or study or observe . So the claim of the Qur'an that , it explains everything is valid .

If "Iqra' bismikallazi khalaq" is the first ,then why placed in the middle of the Quran. It should be the first one.

Peace Q_s
Perhaps the same reason why 2945 and 2121 where placed where they are in the Qur'an ? Anyway , why is chronology of revelation so important when what we need is the substance of the message ?

Don't you the Allah revealed must be full of wisdom. We should not change not that order . If you want I have no objection.

You want to say that the order which is present in the Quran right now is divine. If so then how will you explain 53 where Deen is completed. What is validity of all verses after it till end of the Quran. Are they not the part of the "Deen" or Islam ?
If "Iqra' bismikallazi khalaq" is the first ,then why placed in the middle of the Quran. It should be the first one.
You seem to be against both the existing order of revalation and the traditional claim regarding it..
I am eager to know your opinion. -
Salaam Samia
This is what I am searching for. Can help me out in this manner?
Regards- My understanding depends on what God meant by "today" in verse 53 Was it the day that verse was rvealed, or when the qur'aan was descended (surat 97).
- Also, look at the first verse of surat 5 "Fulfil the obligations". That's the "deen". Just as alfatiha is the first chapter, very logically, as it represents an "abstract" of the whole book.
Or, maybe you, or someone else, have a better explanation.

Peace David,
Great answears. I totally agree. "The Quran only" is limiting the system to only the Quran. When for example muslims found in the Quran a verse which is about big bang, they had to compare it to the scientific findings = External. Off course information about the big bang was in the quran over 1000 years before modern science and the west found that big bang is a fact. However, to see that the scientific in quran was a fact they compared it to modern scientific findings. So Quran can't therefore be limited to itself only.
One short period of my life, i almost only read the quran and stopped reading other books because i thought the Quran was sufficient for Development. But that was wrong because it was other sources that lead me to the Quran in the first place. yes, the Quran explains itself, and yes the Spiritual/religious laws we should follow are only the laws in the Quran. So the quran is the only book for spiritual/religious laws. BUT, we can gather knowledge from others sources like science, philosophy, psychology, nature etc. I actually think that if we know more about different subjects, we will understand more from the Quranic verses. For example someone that has knowledge about science will understand the scientific verses in the Quran. Or someone who has knowledge about philosophy will understand the philosophical verses in the Quran. And someone with lots of life experience and which has studied psychology will understand the verses in the Quran which talks about psychology and human nature. Someone who has knowledge when it comes to laws of nature will understand the natural/universal laws of the Quran. Someone who has knowledge about Politics or law will understand the verses in the Quran which deals about matters of law and human rights. And someone who is an archeologists will be able to compare his archeological findings with verses in the Quran that talks about his findings.
Conclusion
In my opinion, it is of total necessity to reflect upon nature, philosophy and science etc. and compare it to the Quranic verses, so that the verses that deals with these topics will become clear. Sitting and reading Quran alone 24/7 won't change the world. We have to read the Quran, put its principles and laws in practice, Compare it to the Universal laws and the laws in nature, and compare it to scientific and archeological findings.
bravo bravo bravo
Peace and The God bless.

The same today the reader accepts. God is not time bound, past present future today.

Verily, We have sent the revelation to you as We sent the revelation to Noah and the Prophets after him; We sent the revelation to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and Al-Asb?t [the grandchildren/the tribes), Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon; and to David We gave the Zab?r.

This is the order of the Revelation of Quran
First ayat that was sent down is Aoozu Billahi Minash Shaitanirrajim. Not Iqra' Bismi Rabbikallazi Khalaq. This fits in perfect to the Reasoning! Next ayat is Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. This is beautiful following of the previous verse. And next is the opening up for us of the heavens and the earth with the third verse Alhamdu Lillahi Rabbil Aalameen. And so on it continues to beautifully explain the chronology of Revelation and compilation of Quran in the same order.
Peace.

Peace Bahman,
I have my source linked only to Allah
My source is pondering and reflecting upon the Truth of His Words, in the Name of Allah O The All Knowing!
When it comes to Quran heads or tails is not a matter with me.
I have given the reasoning behind my chronology. This is only a curiosity approach; never mind.
I would appreciate if you do the same to support your chronology and then dismiss it as non-starter to enter Quran.

Peace drfazl
Thank you for your advise, I have entered to Quran from different angle 1736
not following parent and teacher blindly, I don't mind you name God's Miracle head and tail due to your misunderstanding which is influence of your growing up environment. Important is Quran and its divinity that even after conversion ihave witness messages that in its time is proof for prophet inspiration. But such messages could not protect all book from manipulation. How ever I do not discuss Miracle here but the person which was inspired after 1400 years to discover secret of 7 pairs alphabet as initial in 29 chapter claims The Prophet, of course, had written the Quran in its chronological order of revelation (Appendix 23),That is a very important claim and i am searching to find the truth.
That table is not Head and Tail, it has all kind of properties and secret which everyday we found new one.
Hus one simple example may bring attention of you and others to secrecy of such table.
It was discovered by Dr. Eid Abd Allah that any 3 figure at either side of table none multiple of code turns into multiple. and then has been discovered more and more and yet is going on.Here is very important for me that ask all readers please help to find the truth.
That table is copy of Rashad's which is published in the site introducing Mohammedans Islam with Moon and Star logo.What is wrong when this site is hiding the source and gives few links with pages a pages of text. but not aword under table where and who?
What is copying who and what the claim for correctness of table?
Do know? Pleas help to find the truth.

I have entered to Quran from different angle 1736
Peace Bahman,
You had entered Quran through 1736. You shall know that the chronology or the starting point for you to begin your journey on the Guidance, does not set out from 961 but from 1736, according to your own statement.
961
Rehearse in the Name of your God who Created.What shall be our understanding from the above ayat?
How to understand this ayat?
Why to understand this ayat?
When to understand this ayat?
Where shall I understand this ayat from?Some where you have to start to understand the ayat; that somewhere or some point is decided by Allah alone; there is no human conjured chronological way in this. Let us see each of the above questions as to what they mean by it?
What do you understand from this ayat 961
I have to read and that is it.
I have to read and memorise.
I have to read and understand.
I have to read, understand and remember.
I have to read, understand, remember and recite.
I have to read, understand, remember, recite and rehearse.
I have to rehearse the command of Allah, and be a model myself In the Name of Allah, The Creator.Which is your chronological order by which you would like to follow the ayat 961 from the above; it is up to an individual's capacity where to start with and that which is decided only by Allah.
If you ask me I will take the last one as the first one to begin with as Allah has given me interest in this line to use His Quran; none but Allah could cause such intimacy with Quran; so I am propelled into it by His Mercy. Since In The Name of Allah, the Creator I had started my life every new day He Creates for me as a new bliss and beautiful environment for my mind and soul, I say "All Glory Be To Allah, The God of the Creator of The Universes." By this I mean I have read this ayat, understood it, remembered it, recited it, rehearsing it without forgetting Him or to Praise His Glory. Thus my chronology starts with remembering Allah and praising His Glory. And before that I seek help from My Creator to save me from all evil, shaitan who would make me forget You or fail me in remembering You. Therefore, to me to attain the straight path from the Holy Reading is first to remember 1698. So when you rehearse the Quran, seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Shaitan.
Thus if you take Quran as your Guide given by the Merciful, then follow Allah, clearing yourself purified from shaitan. It is Allah who would cause and make the universes fall at your feet for you. He would raise you to the Throne of the Universes, upon the Arsh. The chronology is your ascent from the dust to the top. Unshackle from the clutches of shaitan pleading with Allah and In His Name start ascending to the throne by His Mercy and Benevolence.
Thus the chronology to a believer is this
"I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed shaitan
All glory be to you, the God of the Universes
You are Most Benevolent; Most Merciful
You are the Master who would honour me to the Throne
Unto You is my obeisance; and Thine is my help
Conduct me in The Loveliest Way -
The Way You had shown to the Blessed ones; and
Not of the way, whom you had left astray." -

The Most Gracious.Teacher of the Quran.551-2
We made the Quran easy to learn. Does any of you wish to learn?
54 17 22 32 40
Do not move your tongue to hasten it. It is we who will collect it into Quran.
Once we recite it, you shall follow such a Quran.Then it is we who will explain it.
7516-19My only teacher is God Alone and He is the one explains His messages. You may instruct those that can not read and write or don't have access to this screen. Quran is completion of all scriptures and essence of all messages is in 262
Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the Christians, and the converts; anyone who (1) believes in God, and (2) believes in the Last Day, and (3) leads a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.
If we believe in 1 and 2 but do not qualify for 3 can not be accepted .
Zoroastrian have explained righteous
Good taught
Good act
Good talk
any body with any belief can be righteous but believing in God and Day of Judgement need proof for existence of God and then divinity of the book.
That is the path I believe in Quran because I understood it and have verified for over 14 years by publishing it and asking "Produce one like it" Simple to understand Impossible to imitatewe should let the people to do their own search and study and do not instruct them do it this way or that way.
My search for avoiding multiple topic took me here that you explain order of revaluation.
I have come here to find the truth and answer to my questions not how to read quran by your learning of your teachers.Please let us do our search, if you know why 96 is 1 and other chapter too please post it .
Peace.
