Why should I believe the Qur'an is the word of God? Muslim losing faith
-
Am I wasting time trying to please a Being that doesn't exist? Or if God is real is it really the God of Abraham or is the Abrahamic faiths wrong?
I want some sort of answers.
God doesn't need you or me to please Him. God has no needs. Believing in God and following God's scriptures are for our benefit only. Either we see it or we don't. Personally, God of Abraham and scriptures has helped me to understand people, life and purpose.

You're loosing faith because faith is a stupid thing to have, just baseless trust with no evidence.
The Quran is corrupted, the translations mostly, read things here servantofthelight.com and look if it seems reasonable to you -
Peace Faithful-Jinn.

I feel like I'm losing my faith for a few reasons I won't get into yet.
My issue is how do I know the Qur'an is the word of God? Why should I believe that God wrote the Qur'an?
How do I reconcile verses that allow me to hit my wife, wage war on disbelievers, and claims like the moon was split in two?
How do I know if I'm "feeling God" or if it's just some chemicals in my brain? Is God really here with me? Am I praying to God or to my window?
I've been losing my faith lately not only in the Qur'an but in God Himself. I look at the Christians and tell them their books are clearly not the word of God yet I don't look at my own scripture with the same rational mind.
My experience has been that scriptures are not relevant but personal experiences in our lives that leads to skepticism. More precisely disappointments, failures, pain and trauma. You need to identify those first and see where the skepticism is coming. Quran or not those kinds of feelings(they are feelings and not thoughts) won't go away.

Salaam,
What did Allah do to you that you are loosing faith in Him? What did He ask from you, what you found difficult?
I understand that you have trouble with some verses of The Quran. But where is the trouble? Is it in The Quran or is it in you?
Please reflect on the next verses
917 And a soul and what He made.
918 So He gave it its evil and good.
919 Successful is the one who betters it.
9110 And failing is the one who hides it.3917 And for those who avoid serving evil, and turn to God in repentance, for them are glad tidings. So give the good news to My servants.
3918 The ones who listen to what is being said, and then follow the best of it. These are the ones whom God has guided, and these are the ones who possess intelligence.5677 It is an honorable Quran.
5678 In a protected Book.
5679 None can grasp it except those purified.
5680 A revelation from the Lord of the worlds.Ok without using AlQuran, do you think hitting your wife is good or evil? Allah already gave you this instinct, so this is not difficult question.
So where is the trouble, is it in The Book of Allah or is it in your own understanding?Salaam and May Allah guide you back to His Path pr

i agree..
it's like we have a choice in this current world we're living in either to create/manifest heaven or create/manifest hell..
(choice 1) hell is when we misinterpret the meaning..
(choice 2) hell is when we interpret the meaning correctly but we choose the dark side/gloomy side..while on the other hand
(choice 3) heaven is when we interpret the meaning correctly but we choose the brighter/idealistic side..it's a harder choice for the latter, has lesser likelihood of achieving (1 out 3 choices) , but if we strive for it and believe in it then it can become reality..
salam

The basis of the trouble is not just whether a verse goes against human reason.
It's whether this book is truly from God. Whether every single ayah of this book is truly a miracle. Whether every single letter of the Qur'an is truthful.
Using reason and logic I try to answer these questions.
For example the moon being cleft asunder. Was the moon split in two during Muhammad's time? Is it really okay to discipline my wife using physical violence? You guys can say fancy words all you want but I believe the verse is clear I don't see anyone addressing that question of mine.

The regular Quranist belief although it's very wise compared to others it still has a lot of flaws and idiocy too. Read articles on that side for perfectly reasonable views

That is exactly my problem too!
