The Koran and the History of Religion

The Koran and the History of Religion

a) The message that God has been sending down has been the same all throughout hi story, same in every way (Koran42:13).
b) Even though the Koran says in well over 15 places, that it is explained in detail, Tafseel (Koran 6:114 etc.), and contains a full explanation of whatever is needed by a believer (Koran 16:89), and should be enough, Kaafi, for them (Koran 29:51), and contains the complete law (Shariah) of God (Koran 45:18 and 42:13), as against man-made law or Shariah (Koran 42:21), “Muslims” insist that the Koran needs supplements to be understood, and lacks details.
c) This amounts to disbelieving what God himself says in unequivocal terms in the Koran.
1.The Koran claims that it contains answers to ALL relevant questions (25:33) and contains the best explanation (Tafseer) of itself (25:33 & 2:159).
2. The Koran claims to be the Hukm or commandments of God, according to which humankind is to be judged (5:48).
3. It also states that it is the Shariah or law/way with which God sent the messenger (45:18 & 42:13).
Who would know best on how to talk to humankind but their creator? Therefore, it makes no sense to say that outside sources better explain God’s word.

4.The Koran claims that it is explained fully in detail and lacks nothing.
5. Therefore it must, according to its claim, contain a full explanation of everything in Islam, including Salaah (prayer).
6.It surely does, we just need to study it.
7. A careful reading of the Koran reveals that we are to get our Salaah from the Masjid-el Haraam [the continuous practice at Mecca since the time of Abraham], specifically the “place of Abraham (moqaam e Ibraheem).”
8. The Koran tells us that the purpose of Hajj is to educate Muslims in Islam (Koran 22:27-28) and that the Masjid-el-Haraam is “guidance for all the worlds


Humankind were one community, then God sent prophets as bearers of good news and as warners and revealed with them the Book with the truth that it [the Book] might judge between humankind concerning that in which they differed. And only those to whom the book was given differed concerning it, after clear proofs had been given them, through mutual hatred and rivalry&127;(Koran 2:213)
