Justify your manual, Abdul.

It's a problem with literary genre and absolute untranslability of Arabic.
Basicaly you either learn arabic or might as well stop reading.

Most of you have been reading the quran in a vapid manner.
Most of the words translated have multiple different meanings in the arabic language, which is why a single sentence can derive paragraphs of meaning.
The multiple sentences have a mathematical pattern, which is considered a "miracle" by some.
Correct me if I'm wrong but "disbelievers" are supposed to be people who did not allow the muslims to practice their faith. This was directed towards the people of Mecca who tried to starve the muslims then force them out of their homes.
They ended up selling all the muslims shit and then Muhammad had a war with the tribes of Mecca to get their stuff back. "God was on their side", so people ended up converting to islam.
The concept of God in the quran is different from all 3 books in a sense there isnt scientific errors. About 80% is scientifically accurate and the other 20% is ambiguous shit like the day of judgement, angels, etc.
The last few surahs mention proof that science confirms today.
Everybody is technically a muslim, which is submissive. Islam can mean both peace and submission.
"S'lam/S'lim"
A better word to describe it is commited I guess.
The whole idea of islam is that in this life you aren't free but you have free will to choose whether or not you want to submit yourself to one God.
If you're not in submission to God then you're in submission to other worldly things like alcohol/money/Veeky Forums.
The whole point that I got from it is:
Be good on earth, and you will be recompensed with good.
Be bad on earth, and you will be recompensed with bad.
Don't worship anything other than Allah, or you will be a slave to desire and not to reason.

God Speaks:
Whoever seeks me finds me,
Whoever finds me knows me,
Whoever knows me loves me,
Whoever loves me, I love,
Whomsoever I love, I kill.
Stay strong brothers, may Allah (praised be his holy name) be with you. :)

'Whomsoever i love i kill"
Where in the quran is that even said?

It's a terrible book, and an OK song if you can call it that.
I have no arguments, monotheism just doesn't float my boat.

>hard-mode: put politics and the borrowed mesopotamian elements aside
Why is it so, well— repetitive, odd, and just bad?
There are parts clearly meant for ancient Israelites. I fail to discern how anything of value could be gleaned from said parts, some Christians have even spoken to that sentiment as well.
