It’s also interesting that Our Lord did not said “God and his messenger” it just reinforces that the messenger is actually the Quran ? Correct me if I Wrong

[@QuranTalk]

Peace - The Quran is a messenger of God, but this does not negate the human messengers that God has sent as well. The Quran as a messenger is described in 14:1 and 65:10-11 as it leads people out of darkness into the light. [14:1] A. L. R. A scripture* that we revealed to you, in order to lead the people out of darkness into the light-in accordance with the will of their Lord -to the path of the Almighty, the Praiseworthy. [14:2] (The path of) GOD; the One who possesses everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Woe to the disbelievers; they have incurred a terrible retribution. [14:3] They are the ones who give priority to this life over the Hereafter, repel from the way of GOD, and seek to make it crooked; they have gone far astray. [14:4] We did not send any messenger except (to preach) in the tongue of his people, in order to clarify things for them. GOD then sends astray whomever He wills, and guides whomever He wills. He is the Almighty, the Most Wise. [65:10] GOD has prepared for them severe retribution. Therefore, you shall reverence GOD, O you who possess intelligence and believed. GOD has sent down to you a message-* [65:11] a messenger* who recites to you GOD's revelations, clearly, to lead those who believe and work righteousness out of the darkness into the light. Anyone who believes in GOD and leads a righteous life, He will admit him into gardens with flowing streams; they abide therein forever. GOD will generously reward him.

@@QuranTalk Peace be upon you, how are you doing ? I do agree.

Salam, brother. Your presentation begs the question, at least for me: Which translation of the Quran would you recommend to English speakers, or which one do you use yourself? Salam.

[@QuranTalk]

Peace - I recommend the translation by Rashad Khalifa. It is available online here: www.masjidtucson.org/quran/frames/ I also, did a video comparing his translation to many of the other translations that are available. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH2uZmSNltR4pZo

peace brother. can you talk about the qiraat or ahruf. God said he preserved the Quran for us so why are there different variations of text in the Quran? I am in so much doubt.Thank you brother.

[@QuranTalk]

Peace - people make the false assumption that when it states in the Quran that God will preserve or protect the Quran that this means no one can make any changes or commit any errors, either intentionally or unintentionally, when transcribing the Quran. [15:9] Absolutely, we have revealed the reminder, and, absolutely, we will preserve it. إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ This is completely unfounded and until recent times most Muslims were unaware and most scholars were unwilling to admit such facts. The reality is that there are some subtle differences in spelling and vowel placements between between recitation and manuscripts. Ironically none of these variations really impact the meaning of the Quran any more than transcribing a document from American English to British English or Australian English would impact the overall meaning of a document. That said, what did God mean when he stated that He would preserve and protect the Quran? The Quran is mathematically structured such that every letter, word, verse, sura are divinely protected no different than when you send an encrypted message today using Signal, Telegram, or WhatsApp. This mechanism allows one to validate that the message has been unaltered and also validate the authenticity of the sender. qurantalkblog.com/2020/08/27/how-god-preserved-the-authenticity-of-the-quran/
