If that's what you believe, then yes. Nobody can say for sure, but if you believe it is, neither I, nor anyone else, has the right to tell you differently.

I personally don't think it is, but again, you are entitled to believe what you want, as am I.

the bible is written by human authors, but i believe they were inspired etc by divine influence upon their lives
the bible was written by 40 different human authors, over thousands of years, most didnt collaberate with each other, yet the writings are consitent.
for info about the quran, i think firmbeliever is the lady to ask (i think the quran is the book that matches with her faith, not sure tho)

Thanks Cal,
Yes Quran is the book Muslims follow....

pmh383388,

Please check this link for the compilation of the Quran.
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/compilationbrief.html





I personally believe that the Quran is the word of God and almost all muslims will agree with me.
The Quran in its original form,i.e in Arabic has remained the same since it was revealed 1400 or so years ago.

The Quran is a set of guidelines as well as some historical accounts,
information regarding Heaven and Hell,information on the attributes of Allah,attributes of believers and non believers,how to govern the state,how to conduct our daily everyday affairs,divorce and marriage,birth and death,war and peace treaties,inheritance,way to dress,guidance for us to look and marvel at the signs of Allah in all the living things we see around us...etc.
And we also refer to Hadith (way of conduct/sayings of Muhammad (peace be upon him) as the perfect example of following the Quran.


I also believe the original book(Injeel) revealed to Jesus (alaihi salaam) during his time was the word of God,but I believe the Bible we see today has some of the original teachings along with what people have added or deleted as time passed after Jesus (alaihi salaam)was taken upto God.

IMO, neither one is word of God. How can word of God so open to different interpretation and cause so much misery throughout the history of the world?

There is only one ineterpretation for the Quran and that should be through the example of Muhammad (pbuh).
And the Quran translations are normally called transliterations as there are some words in Arabic that cannot be directly translated into English.

the bible and quran do not cause any bad things
its the peole who wrongly twist the words around and out of context to justify ur ways

you could read a verse saying something like "and the bad king said, go and kill all who are weak"
and just quote "go and kill who are weak" and there is one way a bad person could justify there misactions.

Comments on this post
firmbeliever agrees: Thats one way to look at it!

The Holy Bible and The Holy Qur'an are the words of God from his prophets. (pbut)

The problem is when people take verses out of context or just ignore parts of either.

Most of the problems between the religions is when this happens and folks are not following the will of God but are following someone who says I will tell you what the words in the Bible or Qur'an mean.

Stay in peace

Comments on this post
retsoksirhc agrees: Too true. One of the reasons I'm not a fan of organized religion is that most of the time, it's just one person telling other people what to believe, without making up their own minds.

If you beleive and follwo that specific religion you will believe it is,
If you don't beleive in that faith, you will believe it is not.

So those that follow Islam, will beleive it is. Even from a Christian view point I find little wrong with the Quran except they dont accept Christ as the Savior, but still look for a messenger of light still to come.
They actually show more and better respect to Jesus than many of todays Christians. And I beleive the name of Jesus is mentioned more than any other name in the Quran ( not 100 percent sure, but I think that was true)

Thier base teachings are not better or worst than that of the Old Testement teachings of Christianity. And there is alot of the same base teachings in the Quran as there was in the bibical teachings of that part of the world during the time the Quran was written.
