Hmmmmmmmmmmm? Qasim, Adib Nov 09, 2003
as-alaam alaikum wa rathmatulla,

My name is Adib and I am a Muslim living in Britain. I just thuoght I would write and point out a few errors on this site with how you address the Quran and the guy called Harun Yahya.

"I would be the first to admit that he is a very annoying book where every point he makes is rounded of with this proves that God exists and created every thing".

But at the same time he does write some Good articles if you give them thought.

Anyway to get to my main problem is when I first came on to this site. I read your first page and found it quite laughable.

You go on about the Quran as if you understand it or have read it where as you have not and so you can not comment about it.

Firstly when your pointing out about how God makes feotus's out of clay. Point one is it is not literally made out of clay it is a analicy. Sorry my spelling is very bad.

God reveleed this book over 4000 years ago and so he had to make sure it was written in away that all people from that time to the future could understand.

point two the Quran is written in Arabic and not in English. English does not have the words to give a 100% perfect translation, infact it does not even come close. I could not even begin to explain it to you in a way you
could under stand.

The Quran should be read in Arabic if you are looking for faults in it as thats the language it is supposed to be read in. A lot of the Quran's meaning is lost due to the lack of words to translate properly in other
languages.

The second grudge is where you say that people have written a sura like that found in the Quran, but they have not. They have written some thing that goes in English and sounds similier next to the English translation, but if you translate there Sura'a into Arabic
then they do not even come close to the Quran's beauty.

As for scientific data in the Quran, well firstly its a religous book not a science book. Its a book of signs to man kind. secondly it has loads of scientific data in it if you bothered to pick it up and read it.

At the end of the day you can't prove evolution 100% and we can not prove to you that God exists so its actually a pointless discussion. When we die we will find out who was right.

Salaam
Adib
