It would be great if Allah could guide me. I'm waiting for Allah to send another angel down and I'd believe in an instant. Or, better yet, for Allah to be a stranger on the bus. I really would.
Do you not think that if the Quran was less confusing it would be better for everyone? There would be fewer arguments and wars and everyone would instantly know it was the truth. Can you explain why the Quran necessarily has to be confusing?
No. Follow the verse:
Quote:Surah 3, The Quran:
Sahih International
(7) It is He who has sent down to you, [O Muhammad], the Book; in it are verses [that are] precise - they are the foundation of the Book - and others unspecific. As for those in whose hearts is deviation [from truth], they will follow that of it which is unspecific, seeking discord and seeking an interpretation [suitable to them]. And no one knows its [true] interpretation except Allah . But those firm in knowledge say, "We believe in it. All [of it] is from our Lord." And no one will be reminded except those of understanding.
So I guess we got to ask ourselves: "are we among those whose hearts have deviation from the truth, or we're among the ones firm in knowledge who say all of it is from our lord" ?
