Christian/Muslim ThreadsHow Do Christians Read The Quran ?I am sorry but I dont know where you are getting this from Joseph. Muslims read and understand the Quran in the following. 1) Understanding the Quran in its historical context: Thus, first looking at the claims that no word in the Quran are the words of Muhammad but the direct commands and words transmitted to Muhammad from Allah through The Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel. This places the reader of the Quran as the third person witnessing the claims of transmission to Muhammad ie. Listening to a conversation being convey from A to B in which the reader is C, as the Quran was revealed dealing with the conditions and situations of the people at that time. 2) Understanding the Purpose/Nature of what was revealed For just about every Surah that deals with a historical event on the conditions, situations, questions to Muhammad in his time and incounters he had, there are Sahih hadeeth that explain why they were revealed pertaining to a cause. This is to help us understand the nature of the verses. 3) Understanding the application of the commands and Quranic sanctions: How are the rules applied in the Quran ? We must first have knowledge base of criterior 1 and 2 above. With those we know how the Prophet performed prayers, fasted, made Hajj, feeded the poor, paying the alms, treating neighbors, and delt with people from Social, Economics, Politics, Science, Parenting, to Jurisprudence etc. This is called the Prophets Sunnah that we follow in carrying out Quranic commands. From this we draw what verses are applied to us that are general and some that are not generally applied unless we find our selves in the same conditions as they ie. that Muslims community in the timeof Muhammad This is the scientific and fundemental method to understanding the Quran in its perspective for muslims or non muslim. This strickly conforms to be scientific . Over and over when Christians Quote Quran or hadith most of them are merely following the yapping of another in which none of it is individual study to a direct approach to the Quran or HAdith. Please note that this is not applied to all christians, there are christian scholars who have followed these scientific standards, and have approached Quran in an unbiased perspective. And have explained the religion in an authentic manner and not distorted it. I find most Christians that approach the Quran (Usually never doing it without some verse being dictated to them from Christian critics) they do it in a currupt and biased manner. They approached the Quran with the same reading comprehensive dimension to that of the Bible. In shorter words. You have to approach the Quran first as to how it was revealed. This does not consent to believe in it first, but to approach with a sound mind and heart. :roll: You sound like my professor making no sense to an objectional approach. Sorry Joseph you lost me here bold.
It seems Joseph you have not incountered what we brand as a TRADITIONAL muslim as opposed to those muslims who are ORTHADOX. You maybe getting these two mixed up with each other. But anyhow I would like to post the following post about how Hadeeth are accepted in the ORTHADOX manner.
