THE CONTENTS OF THE QURAN

THE CONTENTS OF THE QURAN
The chapters of the Quran are not arranged in importance, continuity, biography, chronology, significance or sequence of any sort, but are arranged by length - the longest chapter first and the last chapter with just 6 lines. Verses are disorderly arranged and jumbled up in unrelated subjects/topics. Christians will be horrified to know that there is no prophecy, no chronology, no geography, no biography of anybody (not even Muhammad), no ministry, no history, no proverbs, no parables, no miracles, no psalms, generally, just do’s and don’t, like an instruction manual of a washing machine; and with punitive punishments, reprisals and rewards specified.

For example, for do’s, all Muslims are to slay (kill) non-Muslims as in Sura 4:74, 9:5 and 9:29. For punishments, Sura 4:34 commands husbands to scourge (whip) his wife/s who are disobedient to him and abandon her/them till she/they submit to him. For non-Muslim ‘rewards’, Sura 2:191 commands “Slay them (non-Muslims)…Such is the reward of those who suppress faith (Islam)”. Muslims are also commanded to carry out Sura 8.12 which demands, “I will terrorize the unbelievers. Therefore, smite them in the necks and every joint and incapacitate them. Strike off their heads and cut off each of their fingers and toes”. There are numerous such ‘evil rewards’ specified for non-Muslims. For Muslim rewards, are those who fight and die for Allah in Sura 52:17-20; 55:56-58; 55:70-74 and 56:37-38, which reward suicides with best fruits, rivers of vine, and 72 voluptuous fair virgin ladies in Heaven. There are even rewards for homosexual Muslims, “boys as fresh as pearls”, as in Sura 52:20-24. The Quran also forbids all Muslims, the freedom “to think and act as they see fit, because the thinking is already done by Allah and his Messenger”, as in Sura 33:36 (in other words, independent thinking is not allowed in Islam). This is impressed upon Muslims, from their childhood nurturing in Maddrassahs and thus, explains why Muslims are terrified to go against their Quran. Questioning the logic of the Quran is considered blasphemous in Islam.

The Quranic verses are meant for reciting only, in a rhythm and do not require understanding the meaning, from this old Arabic script. Thus, most Muslims do not understand and question the Quran they read, in total blind faith. Differences in the Qurans today create more problems, and pilgrims who land in Mecca for their pilgrimages, will be searched and their Quran, if found to be different from the Wahabi sect’s Quran, will be confiscated and burnt
