Qur'an Response


Despite the difficulty when reading the Qur'an, I can definitely understand why they believe what they believe a little bit better. I thought that this book was very hard to understand and made no sense, however it is beneficial to know why they believe these certain things. As a Christian I think it is good to know about other religions, just so we are not one-sided, and really understand our religion and why we believe what we do. I found Christianity and the Bible more reliable and appealing because it is easier to understand the storyline, therefore being more reliable because the Bible was written during the same time frame of Jesus as well as prophesized before. Unlike Muslim, where Muhammed came out of the cave and told people what was spoken to him, and then that wasn't written down until a while later. Therefore, I think that studying the Qur'an is beneficial because now we know some of their reasons for their belief, and maybe won't be so judgemental next time we are around Muslims.
