Islam believes in many prophets, and Al Quran is nothing but a confirmation of the old Scriptures.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
God says in the Quran that there is only one true religion, God's religion. It's the same theme that God revealed to all of the prophets, even before Muhammad.
For one, the Qur'an is considered by Muslims to consist entirely of words spoken by Allah himself.
The Qur'an is in many ways far less concrete than the Bible, relying on the esoteric more often than the apparent.
To me, the Quran is a research book.
Ironically, the first thing that appealed to me about Islam was its pluralism. The fact that the Koran praises all the great prophets of the past.
I don't know that Islam has ever been a subject of anything that I've written. I think Muslims have often been, but those are two very different things.
ISIS itself, it draws its central belief system from the Koran and from the writings of the Prophet Muhammad. That is undeniable. And it's a medieval interpretation of it. It is a literal interpretation of it.
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 will be what Muslims make of it. And it is the sum total of the interpretation that Muslims give to it.
The Qur'an, throughout all of its verses, aims mainly to establish and confirm four basic, universal truths: the existence and Oneness of the Maker of the universe; Prophethood; bodily Resurrection; and worship and justice.
