You are joking, the bible is lucid and has narratives, but the Quran is a half remembered, mumbling, repetitive rant. Here is a semi literate account of Jonah and the whale.
37.139 So also was Jonah among those sent (by Us). 37.140 When he ran away (like a slave from captivity) to the ship (fully) laden, 37.141 He (agreed to) cast lots, and he was condemned: 37.142 Then the big Fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of blame. 37.143 Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified God, 37.144 He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection. 37.145 But We cast him forth on the naked shore in a state of sickness, To be clear this story in the bible is nothing but a Jewish myth that can never have happened. So what is this brief account of the story doing in the Quran as the word of God? No whale can swallow a man except a sperm whale and nobody could survive being swallowed by a sperm whale. |

Ha you can't handle the FACT your religion was made up after and inspired by Judaisim and Christianity.
Abraham came before Mohammed. You blaspheme against your gods original prophet. You misrepresent and lie about your god, sinner. If he did exist he wouldn't be happy with you. |

There are thousands of pages of detail in the hadith books, but that does not make much sense. Your fake and missing books are also manuscripts of hadith books. The Qur'an gives real knowledge. There is no point in writing length. For example, hundreds of books about trinity are, wrong. But The Quran tells the interior of the trilogy with a few sentences. Indicates that the trinity is superstition. There are thousands of books about spirits. But the Qur'an shows that the soul is only revelation. It also shows us that the heavens are universes. And tells us, the Noah Flood was regional. And He punished a single nation. The only holy book in our hand is the Quran now. |

Not me, you are liar and sinner .
What I told you? Remember: "I have said that Islam has existed since the first people. Abraham, Noah, Jesus, Muhammad are all prophets of Islam. There is only one holy religion. As people changed religion and the book, the prophet and the book were sent again from God. The Kaaba is also the first Islamic temple in history. Quran 3:96. "Lo! the first Sanctuary appointed for mankind was that at Mecca, a blessed place, a guidance to the peoples;" After, People degenerated and changed the Kabe and prayer. Through the Prophet Muhammad, the Qur'an came and Islam was once again transformed into its original form. The Kaaba is purified from idols. In short, as people and other beings changed their path of salvation, Islam came again. " **************** And The main holy book is in the hereafter universe. All the holy books on earth are part of it. The Bibles and Torah in your hand are missing and fake. But they contain quotes/stolens from the original. The Qur'an contains the original holy book and completely real knowledge. |

I am an atheist. All of them are fake, including the Qur'an. None of them are mine.
None of that baloney ever happened. Spam. Why should I care what your Bumper Book of Fairy Tales says? |

The Qur'an tells you what to know about the life story of the Salih Prophet.
There are very long details in the hadith books but humans make up the writing. The Qur'an tells the truth only. For example, the actual expression of how prayer is made is only in the Qur'an. Prayer is also narrated in hadith books, but with many additions and fittings. The expression in the Qur'an is real. The Qur'an is much shorter and more self-evident than just telling the truth Because joints do not contain additives. It only gives the words of Allah, the truth. |

Nice. So not only are you calling your first prophet Abraham a liar, but you blaspheme against your god by claiming it is too weak, inept or stupid to prevent its word being manipulated and repurposed multiple times for hundreds of years until good old Mohammad happened along. But your incompetent weak god couldn't even get it right then, because islam splintered into many different versions and muslems started killing each other for following the wrong islam. So then your weak and useless god had to wait hundreds more years for Emre to come along and set the record straight. But even then your god was so weak useless and incompetent that he couldn't even help you convince people that your version of Islam is the one true religion that has always existed and everyone else including other Muslims are wrong because you say so. Sounds to me you think you know better than your god.

Lifted from your link:
Quote:
Yes indeed a fragile thing. So fragile that a very large number of miscarriages are commonplace. Many miscarriages happen without the mother being aware she had one. One would think God/Allah would have made a better job when designing a woman's reproductive equipment. Or is there some reason for this apparent flaw? |

This world is not paradise. A mixture of paradise and hell.

Paradise and hell are human fictions. Like Oz, Shangri-La, Xanadu, Asgard . . .

Xanadu? But there have been at least three top ten hits about Xanadu, not to mention an epic poem.

The story of Salih in the Quran lacks all the details that make the story understandable . It does not say anywhere that Salih hit a rock and the magic camel came out of the rock. For that you have to read the hadiths.
It is exactly the same as the story of Joseph in surah 12 which also leaves out details of the story that make it comprehensible. In short if God wrote the Quran he is a semi literate moron. |

The Quran is far longer than it needs to be because it repeats itself many times over. If you took out all the repeats you could cut the Quran down by a half. Does God have to keep repeating himself? or is it that Muhammad just rambled on and on for over twenty years, and he forgot what he had said before.

Given the thread title, I wonder why we have a dearth of miracles. "The miracles continue..." Do they? No. Not even started.

The Qur'an gives only the truth about the life of the Prophet. It does not contain the attachments in your hadith books. There is nothing to be understood. I have all the necessary details. The people of the Salih Prophet are confronted with the evil in them one last time. An accelerated examination. It's like a Saturday ban. Only the Qur'an tells these events perfectly. Even the sum of your books can not give that much detail. |

2:140 "Or do you say that Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Patriarchs were all Jewish or Nazarene?" Say, "Are you more knowledgeable or is God?" Who is more wicked than one who conceals a testimony with him from God? God is not oblivious of what you do.
2:135 And they said: "Be Jewish or Nazarenes so that you may be guided!" Say: "No, rather the creed of Abraham, monotheism; for he was not of the polytheists." 3:67 Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Nazarene, but he was a monotheist who peacefully surrendered; he was not of those who set up partners. 2:125 We have made the sanctuary to be a model for the people and a security. Utilize the place of Abraham to reach out. We had entrusted to Abraham and Ishmael, "You shall purify My sanctuary for those who visit, those who are devoted, and for those who kneel and prostrate." |

That's Koo koo for Coco Puffs. I've watched the crazy Christians predict that the rapture is coming soon my entire life. They've actually been predicting the apocalypse for 1600 years. You're all god damn crazy. Give up those silly stupid superstitions and stop being obsessed with the end times. Isn't it better to make the best of this life than to prepare for death of the world?
Eschatological nonsense. |
