Confusion About the Qur'an

Unfortunately today, many people, including Muslims who consider themselves practicing are unaware of what the Qur'an says about an issue or a concept of faith. Many Muslims are happy to lead a life devoid of the direct influence of the Glorious Qur'an.

People who fit the definition of the above type quickly reveal their ignorance to a true believer, when, in a discussion, make remarks such as the following

"I think it says in the Qur'an or it could be somewhere else (followed by what they think is there)"

...or for example,

"It says in the Qur'an (followed by an outright lie, while they even know it is a lie)"

The consistent features of such people is that

? they usually think they have true knowledge of Islam and believe they are religious.
? they do not really care whether what they are claiming is in the Qur'an or not, so long as it fits in with their preconceived idea of what Islam is and what is acceptable by the majority.
? they have the mistaken belief that something taken from elsewhere has the credibility of the Qur'an so they think they have the right to say to every one "it is in the Qur'an" (literally) to give their false claim authority, knowing very well it is not there.

Such people get into arguments and debates readily about the Qur'an and quote Qur'anic Verses here and there, though they know very little about Qur'an's actual content and its true message. They also do not measure Allah with His true measure. Unfortunately, they misguide many people with wrong information and a twisted depiction of Islam.

"Yet there are some people who, with no knowledge or guidance or any Book of Enlightenment, argue about Allah, turning scornfully aside to leads others away from Allah's path. Disgrace in this world awaits such a person and, on the Day of Judgment, we shall make him taste the suffering of the Fire" (Qur'an 228-9)

Peace,
respectfully.

If Joe Average asks Hilary C. K'Taen"Hilary, did God say in the Quran which tone to use in the prayer?"
Hilary will reply"Yes, chapter 17, verse 110."

What's wrong with this?
If you ask a person something about the Quran, and he answers you, quoting the Quran, what's wrong then?
Am i missing something here?

It seems to me that a person must not quote the Quran un less he or she first asks .... imam?

If someone claims that he or she knows something from the Quran, he or she must then provide that evidence heor she must then quote the verse from the Quran, right?

When i eat chicken bought in the non-halal stores, these people around me tell me that i am commiting a sin by eating haram food. I then tell them it's halal because ..... well, i quote the verse from the Quran where God tells us what we can eat and what we must not eat, unless we are forced without willful disobedience.

Am i wrong here?
If i'm wrong, may Allah SWT help me and guide me and forgive me.

Peace.
