Is The Koran Hard To Read? (Where Should I Start Off Reading It?)

[SirReginald]

Alright, five months ago I bought a Koran, Buddhism, and Judaism For Dummies guide. Anyway, is the Koran hard to read without a guider Because even though I'm not religious I'm curious about Islam. So, where should I start off reading the Koran?

Quran (2:191-193) - "And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief or unrest] is worse than killing...
but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah [disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah] and worship is for Allah alone

Quran (2:216) - "Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not." Not only does this verse establish that violence can be virtuous, but it also contradicts the myth that fighting is intended only in self-defense, since the audience was obviously not under attack at the time. From the Hadith, we know that this verse was narrated at a time that Muhammad was actually trying to motivate his people into raiding merchant caravans for loot.

Quran (4:74) - "Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward." The martyrs of Islam are unlike the early Christians, who were led meekly to the slaughter. These Muslims are killed in battle as they attempt to inflict death and destruction for the cause of Allah. This is the theological basis for today's suicide bombers.

It is very easy to google and nit pick certain versus without context. You have to keep in mind that during this time when the Quran was revealed that MANY wars were going on. Proclaiming that tire Muslim was an automatic death sentence to many back in those times due to the fact that many people practices polytheism and the religion of thief forefathers.

Plus Arabic is too intricate and far too in depth to really translate in English. I can recommend you some translations that are "great" but if I were you I would start reading with an imam or a local scholar who can give you context with the Surah (chapters). Good luck brother and whatever you find, I hope it brings you peace

Some people start from the back, some start from the front. I gave a Quran to a co worker and he just opened it from the middle and started it. Do whatever feels right, but I would suggest reading a good portion, or all of it before coming to a conclusion. Also to get a better understanding of Islam you need to know how the Prophet Muhammad lived, The Sealed Nectar is considered a really good book about his life.

being that the entire world hasnt converted to islam, it would seem that these virtuous wars havent stopped, and never will

Sure. You were in this thread within 10 minutes and often make first 5 posts about any thread about Islam. Yea u really care about violence , where's your disgust for all the violence caused by non Muslims. All the cartels, US, Europe wars and imperial violence. You are beyond obsessive and it's obvious. Your dumb if u think u can downplay it.

You post multiple times arguing passionately. You care deeply.

Probably think sharia law is around the corner.
Trump will be the hero America need tho
