To me, the Quran is a research book.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Research to me is as important or more important than the writing. It is the foundation upon which the book is built.
The Qur'an is in many ways far less concrete than the Bible, relying on the esoteric more often than the apparent.
It is fair to say the New Testament is the most ethically sophisticated of the great scriptures; the proper comparison for the Qur'an is with the Old Testament - against which it holds its own.
Islam believes in many prophets, and Al Quran is nothing but a confirmation of the old Scriptures.
I read the Koran and it appealed to me. At the time I was agnostic and it really breathed spiritually back into me. For me it's really a cushion; it's cool, I'm cool with it.
The Qur'an is God's property, not mine.
The proper study of mankind is books.
I've always looked upon research as an opportunity to satisfy my curiosity. But the other side of the coin is one must not be so caught up in it that one never gets the book written.
To me a book is a message from the gods to mankind; or, if not, should never be published at all.
The Bible is a history book.
