How many of you read the Holy Quran? What are some interesting things you read?

Three American Women Translated One of the World’s Most Popular Qurans

[jshm2]

Technically you can only read a translation of the Quran. Also, a fair chuck of it has no accurate translation in other languages.

interesting things in it are numerous. From being the only scripture which doesn't give it's followers a "golden ticket". i. e. Just because you're claiming to be Muslim, doesn't mean you will be risen as one. To it's historical recounting of events.

I have read Marmaduke Pikthall's translation

[BoopBoopBeep]

Read it for class a long time ago. And much of the hadith. Muhammad really liked cats. The story of a prostitute who was forgiven for giving water to a thirsty dog licking dust out of thirst. (Al-Bukhari), Hadith 3:551 about the dog and the well.

Ironic then that the most common animal abuse I've seen was in the Middle East.

Hmm, I see. Thanks 🍃

It is best to focus on the teaching and see how best you can follow it rather than on how wrong others follow or not follow at all.

[BoopBoopBeep]

@HaveNoName I hear ya, but when those people are wrongly following it and trying to kill me I do have to pay them a little attention ;)

[HaveNoName]

Well... Everything that is left to interpretation,. creates some crazies unfortunately. Doesn't happen with just the Quran.

[BoopBoopBeep]

@HaveNoName No, not just with them, but I'm not concerned with historical crazies popping off rounds at me and I'm not concerned with lone gunmen crazies popping off rounds at me. A large part of the Muslim issue is shite education and illiteracy of arabic, so nobody can read their book, they're entrusting radical jihadist crazies to tell them what it says, and that's putting way too much power into the hands of the crazies that are concerning

[HaveNoName]

"One of most popular Qurans"?

There is only ONE Quran.

[imran_]

Referring to the translated Quran. Yes, Arabic one is only one version.

[HaveNoName]

Ok good. I wanted to clear that up before people took a wrong impression.

[FreyaRed]

If I had one would soak it in warm pig lard and then burn it in fireplace. Free will, free choices

[crazyymann]

does satan order you this action?

[AmeerX]

May be someday you will be mature enough to understand.

[Dargil]

I chose to read it all, to better understand The Enemy. I've also studied a History of Islam.

[EmmaMary]

I've read many Dandy and Beano comics, if this counts! 🤣🤣🤣

[loveslongnails]

I've read parts of it. Like most religious dogma, there's some good stuff and some weird shit. It doesn't move me one way or the other, except when it gets nasty.

[crazyymann]

which part is weird shit? just curious

[loveslongnails]

@crazyymann It's been a long time since I read it. I've no desire to delve back into it. There's just a lot of dogma in it, like any other religious book.

[crazyymann]

Things are usually defined dogma that people dont understand. Maybe you talk about Zulkarneyn's actions?

[loveslongnails]

@crazyymann Dude, I know what dogma means, and maybe you missed this part above; " It's been a long time since I read it. I've no desire to delve back into it."

[strateguy632]

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I read about 85% of it. Pure BS it is.
