Christians:If the Quran is not holy and inspired by God, then why does it have a better flow than the Bible?

Question

Consta, please enlighten me. Exactly where in tarnation does the Quran say anything at all about virgins in heaven? Seriously, I do believe that you are pulling my leg.

Answer 1

It may have a better flow (as would some fiction books) but it's not the flow you should be worried about, it's the content. The bible doesn't contradict itself, the Quarn does

Answer 2

That would be the brainwashing.

Answer 3

I understand that the Koran needs to be recited in Classical Arabic. Have you tried reading the Bible in it's original Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic?

Also, if the Bible is not inspired then why does The Koran emphasizes that the Towrat, Zabur, Injil and Sohof are the Books of Allah, His Word, light and "Furqan" that is, a criterion for judgment.?

The Koran states that the Jewish Torah is:

"the book of Allah" (K 2:101; 3:23; 5:44)

"a guidance and reminder" (K 40:53-54)

"has guidance and light" (K 5:44)

"the criterion" (K 2:53; 21:48)

The Koran states that the Christian Gospel:

"has clear proofs" (K 2:87)

"has guidance and light" (K 5:46)

"confirms the Torah" (K 5:46)

And The Koran asserts that the Torah and the Gospel are guidance for all mankind.

"clear testimonies, guidance and mercy for mankind" (K 28:43; 3:3-4; 6:92)

Furthermore The Koran states that no one can alter the Word of Allah and if that is true then the Bible we have today is correct and unaltered - a valid copy of the original words of Allah:

"The law of Allah is aught of power to change." (K 48:23)

"There is no changing to the Word of Allah." (K 10:64; 6:34)

The Koran not only claims to confirm the previous Scriptures but also claims the responsibility of being "the watcher over it" (K 5:48)

In his commentary on the Koran, "The lights of the Inspiration", Al-Baidhawi [died 1300 AD] explains that "the watcher over it" (K 5:48) means "The Koran is the protector of the Holy Bible to preserve it from any kind of change."

So what exactly is the point of your question?

Answer 4

Who's to judge flow? Isn't that a simple matter of opinion?

I for one believe that all religious "bibles" are divinely inspired. Different religions are nothing more than a different language all talking about the same basic things.  There aren't many differences in the 4 major religions. Even some of the lesser known religions have many similarities to the big ones.

So instead of arguing all the time, we should all be holding hands and singing Kumbaya, whatever that means.

The Quran—A Literary Miracle?

SUPPOSE you started out on a long journey, and at a crossroad chanced to meet a friend whose destination was the same as yours. This friend, upon hearing of the route you are taking, at once tries to convince you that you are going in the wrong direction. Would you become angry with him because he implied that you, as well as those with you, had made a mistake, and so strike him a blow, and then continue on in your course? Of course not!

Rather, each of you would calmly state his reasons why he thought his way was the right way and then the two of you would doubtless make a comparison of the sources of your information. For, after all, both of you want to get to your destination, do you not?

The foregoing well illustrates the way we should view this article which will discuss the Quran and compare it with the Bible. Muslims and Christians alike are travelling on life’s road, and both are confident that they are going in the direction that leads to eternal life in happiness. Yet they are heading in opposite directions because they are consulting differing sources of information; the one following the guidance of the Quran, the other that of the Bible. Which is right?

Before going any farther let us note that no one should judge the Bible by any of the popular religions of so-called Christendom, for they do not properly represent it. In fact, Christendom has absolutely no right to the name “Christian”, as her doctrines, her crusades, her wars, her politics, her commercial exploitation, her racial discrimination and oppression of the peoples are as far removed from what Christ Jesus taught and practiced “as the east is from the west”. So let Muslims not reject true Christianity and ignore the Bible simply because of the abominable record that an apostate Christendom has made upon the pages of history.

The Quran, as all Muslims well know, was given to them by Muhammad, an Arabian who was born in the latter part of the sixth century, in Mecca, and died at Medina, June 8, A.D. 632. At about the age of forty he was convinced that he had received a message from the angel Gabriel together with a call to make known that there is ‘no god but Allah [that is, The GOD] and that Muhammad is his prophet’. For the remaining twenty-three years of his life he professed to receive many more such messages or revelations, which he dictated for others to write down, as he himself, it is held, was illiterate. Shortly after his death these were compiled from white stones, skins of animals, ribs of palm leaves and the b*****s (memories) of men, and became known as the Holy Quran.

As copies multiplied various readings sprang up, causing serious disputes. So some twenty years later another official copy was made and all previously existing copies were committed to the flames. For about twelve centuries the Quran has had very little change in text.

The Quran (Arabic for “the recitation” or “the reading”) is not quite as large as the “New Testament” and so is about one-fourth as large as the Bible. It consists of 114 chapters, revelations or suras, which vary in length from three to 286 verses, the verses themselves varying from one to twenty and more lines.

With few exceptions the Quran is written in the first person, with Allah as the speaker. According to its own testimony the “Mother of the Book” exists in God’s presence and was revealed to Muhammad “in slow, well-arranged stages, gradually” by “The Holy Spirit [Angel Gabriel, who] brought the revelation from thy Lord in Truth, in order to strengthen those who believe, and as a Guide and Glad Tidings to Muslims”. (Muslim, meaning one who has surrendered himself to God) Its being a divine revelation is stressed throughout the Quran. See Sura 2:89, 97; 6:19; 16:102; 17:105, 106; 25:32; 43:2-4, Ali.

THE QUESTION OF AUTHENTICITY

What proof did Muhammad have to offer that these suras did indeed come from the one true God? Two thousand years before, when Moses was asked to go to his people with a message from God, he immediately saw the question of authenticity: “But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice; for they will say, Jehovah hath not appeared unto thee.” Jehovah solved that problem by empowering Moses to perform three signs. Seeing these proofs of authenticity, “the people believed.”—Ex. 4:1-31, AS.

And for the next forty years the Israelites witnessed many, many more miracles. Particularly was divine power manifested at the time of the giving of the law: thunder, lightning, fire, smoke, trumpet sound and earthquake; all combined to testify that Moses was not an impostor but was indeed a divinely commissioned prophet.—Exodus, chapters 7 through 15; 19:16-18; Deut. 8:14-16.

When Christ Jesus came, the same question of authenticity arose, and again it was answered unequivocally. So much so that he was able to send to John the assuring report: “The blind are seeing again, and the lame are walking about, the lepers are be

Answer 10

LOL. A better flow.  I particularly like the part where it talks about the virgins in heaven.

Peace be upon you.

Answer 11

i do not understand what you mean better flow? All i know by the power of the Holy Spirit is that; quran doesn't make sense at all.. for if it make sense, the devil himself will try to falsify and use it to deceived islam. But the devil let it go. why? Because God Most High, the One True Living God Lord Jesus Christ said so; Mat 12:22  Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.

Mat 12:23  And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?

Mat 12:24  But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

Mat 12:25  And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

Mat 12:26  And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

Mat 12:27  And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

Which means, those that owns by the devil, he won't bother anymore to deceived them for they're already blinded and can't see the light of Christ Jesus. Amen. so why he gonna bother to deceived the islam or other religion that were truly false and invention of men? Luke 6:39  And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?  

Answer 12

Maybe it has a better "flow" because it was not inspired.

Answer 13

It(KORAN) surely has the better flow, it's just some people(humans) who can't reach there..and Koran is the words of God..and don't u guys know that the new testament is a modification of the old testament(BIBLE)..humans, how good they are, they cant beat The Creator...if you guys want to judge and make comparisons between to things, just make sure u guys have enough information on both of them.

and alain D, does the Bible(New Testament) ever mentioned about Koran? And Does it have something like "how the old Christians used to fast 50 days and now they don't??" there must be something missing while the old testament was translated/refined/modified into nowadays new testament(bible that u guys are reading)...if you ever thought to see the person who did this, how would you imagine him to be? great enough to do what he has done? u see, open your eyes and you will see, dont be afraid to lose in order for you to gain even more.

Answer 14

Ah, but see, the Quran is inspired by God.  As a matter of fact there are a lot of similarities between other religions and Christianity.

Answer 15

If Harry Potter is not holy and inspired by God, then why does it have a better flow than the Quran?

Answer 16

When someone becomes an author, they often feel an urge to make their story more palatable. I'm glad the Holy Bible didn't turn out this way.

Answer 17

It has a better flow than the Bible because it was dictated by an angel.  Also, it is the work of God.  This is why it has a better flow than the Bible.  God may have given the ideas for the Torah and the Gospels, but it was sloppy unimaginative men who actually did the writing.  This is why there are so many bloody violent scenes of s*x and carnage interspersed throughout the Bible.  People dig the s*x and violence.
