@annatar and Ryaan
Thank you both for a fascinating and informative thread. My own knowledge of Islam does not begin to approach yours. I read the Qur'an (only in English of course) at university for background.I was studying the Sanusi Bedouin,and later,some Sufi lodges in the Atlas mountains. I have not read the Hadith, and did not understand the difference between Qur'an and Hadith, only that the Qur'an is accepted as of supreme importance by all Muslims. Thank you for the explanation. 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 TANGENT:Question. I would appreciate it if one or both of you would help clear up another confusion: When reading the Qur'an,I was struck by the many similarities with the Torah,with which I'm more familiar. That observation is not usually received well by Muslims I've come across online,and that confuses me: The reason for my confusion: It is my understanding that there are no greater or lesser prophets in Islam. That Muhammad was simply the last. Does that not mean that Allah also spoke to the earlier prophets? If that is so,why then should not some of the teachings of the earlier prophets be found in the Qur'an,to compliment the last words given to Muhammad ? I do not ask to argue,but to learn. (I've put on my Anthropology hat). Wa salaam  Quote:Also, the most important thing which elevates the authenticity of the Quran from that of the hadiths is the careful process in which it was compiled. Every compilation of allegedly 'sacred' writings gets that kind of adoration from its followers. To non-believers the argument is far from compelling. RE: Quran and Hadiths

Quote:Yes, but that's a generalization because not everyone's adoration for their holy books are equally well-supported. Your ethnocentrism is showing Rayaan. I cannot think of any actual evidence ( aside from the koran itself and its reliability is what is in question) that your 'mohammad' ever existed. The history of the time is silent about him. Xtians try to shake off the fact that no one mentioned jesus by claiming that he was just an insigificant wandering preacher but mohammad was supposed to be this great conquering warlord. History usually recalls such people. |
