Muhammad is not Equal to Jesus But Jesus is Equal to Allah!

[Matthias]

Told you I have lived with Muslims for 15 years-didn't I?

A non-Muslim should not touch the Quran, but it is permissible for him to listen to the Quran on radio or TV and to read the translations of the meanings of the Quran.
Praise be to Allah.

The Glorious Quran should not be touched by anyone except those who are purified . Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Verily, the Mushrikun (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, and in the Message of Muhammad) are impure.” [Al-Tawbah 9:28]

On this basis, the non-Muslim should not be permitted to touch the Quran, whether he is a Christian , a Jew, a Buddhist, a Hindu or anything else.

But it is permissible for him to listen to the Quran on radio or TV, or from tapes, and it is permissible for him to read the translations of the meanings of the Quran which are available in different languages.

And Allah knows best.

Secondly-



This is in regards to Question 'Reading Surat Ya-Sin in congregation on Friday nights '. Actually I am referring to the hadith you mentioned where the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Whoever reads one letter of the Book of Allah will have one hasanah (reward) for doing so, and every hasanah will be multiplied by 10. I do not say that Alif, lam, mim is one letter, but Alif is a letter, lam is a letter and mim is a letter.

I was wondering if this hadith was also true if one is reading the Quran in a different language (i.e. English translation) in order to actually understand what he is reading

Thank You, Allahu-Akbar
Summary of answer
There is no evidence that the person who reads the Quran translation will earn the reward of reading it in Arabic. But, if a person reads a Quran translation in order to understand the meaning and benefit from what the verses are saying, then he will be rewarded for doing this, and his reward is with Allah.

CAIR mailed me a copy of the Quran some years ago as part of a public campaign to put the Quran in the hands of those who speak and read English. (I don’t recall now if the campaign was limited to the US or if it included other English speaking countries.) The book contains Arabic side-by-side with an English translation.

But you don't mention the Hadith's-why not? Is it because you are not aware of the Hadith's?

So I assume you concede the point you raised?

 

[Johann]

Have you really read the Quran @Johann?

Around 15 years or so ago I was in a Muslim-owned bookstore in Atlanta with a Muslim co-worker of mine at the time. While we were there my co-worker ran into some Muslim friends. They had been doing something which he didn’t approve of and he gave them a dressing-down over the matter. One of his friends asked him who I was and what I was doing there. He told them.

I was in an awkward situation.

I told the Muslim who asked about me that I had read the Quran and wondered if he might answer a question I had about something I had read in a particular surah. He and his friends all laughed. My Muslim co-worker glared at them and they stopped laughing.

My co-worker told me later that I had made a mistake. The mistake was me saying that I had read the Quran. What I had actually read was an English translation of the Quran. My co-worker explained that unless the Quran is read in Arabic, the Quran has not been read.

Why didn't you correct your co-worker-Muslim co-worker by showing him what I have posted to you?

Correct him for what? And I haven’t seen or spoken with him since I retired in 2016 and moved back to my home state.

I showed him the Quran that CAIR sent to me. He commented that it was magnificent.

Correct him on this.

My co-worker told me later that I had made a mistake.

The Quran teaches that its ok to LIE if the LIE furthers the cause of Islam.

So, consider that when talking to a Islamic Fanatic. ,as they know that verse, before they post their videos and commentaries...ect.

The Muslim has a PhD and could serve as an Imam if he wanted to.

What I send to you was a quote from an Imam-but it seems we are not having a conversation with each other, but talking past each other-are you not permissible to read the Hadith also?

It’s permissible for me (and everyone else) to read the Quran and the Hadith. I’ve read both in English translation. I don’t read Arabic.

Then there is no problem-since I didn't say I read the Quran in Arabic.

I think that’s a very good thing. Do you consider that ability, that gift, to be “speaking in tongues”?

 

[civic]

Because not all translations are really bibles.

I teach how to find out what "new bible" is TRASH.

There are many., and you just discovered why some of them are..........

many are not Gods word.

No-glossalia is not an haOt that a person is saved.

 

[civic]

We don’t silence anyone for their opinions when they follow the rules of the forum . Pretty simple solution

 

[JonC]

If that’s true then saying that Jesus is equal to Allah has to be wrong.

Islam is a demonic counterfeit

Islam is a demonic counterfeit

The fastest-growing religion in the world, by some estimates.
