So.... the book agrees with itself? So does Gone With The Wind. It's still a fucking novel.
Not with itself only.
It's a guide to God, this verse for example:
Quote:Sura 2, Page 28, The Quran:
( 186 ) And when My slaves ask you concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me and believe in Me that they may be guided.
He does answer prayers. Calls. From everybody:
Quote:Sura 17, Page 284, The Quran:
( 18 ) Whoever should desire the immediate - We hasten for him from it what We will to whom We intend. Then We have made for him Hell, which he will burn, censured and banished.
( 19 ) But whoever desires the Hereafter and exerts the effort due to it while he is a believer - it is those whose effort is ever appreciated .
( 20 ) To each We extend - to these and to those - from the gift of your Lord. And never has the gift of your Lord been restricted.
He answers all categories of people. His gifts are never restricted.
Just like that; the book is a guide to God. Until that guide is broken, I will have the faith.
I called and he answered.
Many believe, maybe for the same reason. They called and he answered.
