![]() This boldly ecumenical move impresses me. Well, that's one thing they have in common.įlash update: the author has now been changed to "God"! He/she has written a whole lot more books than Allah, but also lacks fans. Is this correct, or merely a reflection of the fact that He exists outside of space and time? Oh, and by the way He doesn't have any upcoming events either. This will make summaries of their blog posts available here.Unfortunately, I don't know of any blog kept by Allah, but if I discover one I'll make sure I use this feature. I was also asked if He had a blog, and on reading further discovered that As a librarian, you can create a blog for this author even if they're not on Goodreads by adding the feed URL (Atom or RSS) of a blog they keep elsewhere. I could become a fan! (I was surprised to see that Allah didn't have any fans. I clicked on His page and was immediately confronted with some interesting options. Come on, Infidels, you can come up with something better than this, can't you? What would Dawkins do?īack to "Allah" again. "Anonymous" once more, but to be honest it seems rather unimaginative. In a surprise move, the author has now been changed yet again to 'ALLAH "the creator" (As believed in Islam)'. Who says a religious war can't be carried out in a civilized and courteous manner? I'm particularly impressed by the good sportsmanship both sides are displaying. Mere days later, and now we're back to "Anonymous"! My impression is that the Muslims and the Infidels are pretty evenly matched here. Well, whoever did that is a braver man or woman than I am. ![]() Since I posted this review, the entry has been changed, and the Qur'an is now also listed as being by "Anonymous"! Have other people noticed that the Qur'an is listed here as being by Allah, whereas the Bible is by "Anonymous"? If I were a Christian, I think that would leave me feeling just a little annoyed. The Quran describes itself as a book of guidance, sometimes offering detailed accounts of specific historical events, and often emphasizing the moral significance of an event over its narrative sequence. The Quran assumes familiarity with major narratives recounted in Jewish and Christian scriptures, summarizing some, dwelling at length on others and in some cases presenting alternative accounts and interpretations of events. Muslims regard the Quran as the main miracle of Muhammad, the proof of his prophethood and the culmination of a series of divine messages that started with the messages revealed to Adam, regarded in Islam as the first prophet, and continued with Suhuf Ibrahim (Scrolls of Abraham), the Tawrat (Torah or Pentateuch) of Moses, the Zabur (Tehillim or Book of Psalms) of David, and the Injil (Gospel) of Jesus. Muslims believe the Quran to be verbally revealed through the angel Jibrīl (Gabriel) from God to Muhammad gradually over a period of approximately 23 years beginning on 22 December 609 CE, when Muhammad was 40, and concluding in 632 CE, the year of his death. The Quran is composed of verses (Ayat) that make up 114 chapters (suras) of unequal length which are classified either as Meccan (المكية) or Medinan (المدنية) depending upon the place and time of their claimed revelation. The Quran (English pronunciation: /kɔrˈɑːn/ Arabic: القرآن al-qurʾān, IPA:, literally meaning "the recitation"), also transliterated Qur'an, Koran, Al-Coran, Coran, Kur'an, and Al-Qur'an, is the central religious text of Islam, which Muslims believe to be the verbatim word of God (Arabic: الله, Allah).
