Have only read it in English so I can't comment on it's Arabic poetry, but my reaction was mixed.
It contains some moments of fine imagery, and is successful in communicating its messages (monotheism, position of Muhammad, reality of the Judgement) but it is VERY repetitive. Pretty much every chapter ends up with depictions of the Last Judgement, the punishment of disbelievers and the reward of Muslims. Also, it really requires knowledge of the Biblical narrative, because it doesn't bother explaining who Moses, Abraham, Jonah (etc.) were, just retells snippets of their stories here and there. Worth reading for understanding Islamic civilization though.

Well, arabs are retarded inbreds. You better repeat the message 20 times if you want them to get it.

The Quran alone is not gonna get you very far. You need to read:
>quran with a tafsir that explains the intended meaning of the hardest passages and the way muslims interpret them.
>sirat (biography of muhammad).
>at least some chosen ahadith from the collections of Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.
>collections of fatwas from famous theologians.
>sharia legal codes.
Then you will really GET them. Really understand their (extremely alien) worldview, that brings them to give drastically different meanings to concepts like "justice, peace, defense, duty, rights, equality, persecution, charity, science, progress", etc.
Talking to muslims (real muslims, grown up in muslim countries) without knowing the meanings they give to these concepts is completely useless.

Nigger, do some research. Arabs (and muslims in general) are literally inbred.
It has to do with their habit of marrying first cousins for generations.
