It is important to enlighten ourselves on a religion which is not our own -PRIS-
At our friend Rachid’s
home, I sat mesmerized by the TV reading the English version of the Koran. Being a Christian, I am still always open to
learning about new religions, especially Islam. As human beings, we have to question and analyze as Socrates says,"An unexamined life is not worth living."
Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world and one can only
wonder why this is. Rather than just
wondering, a person can read, ask questions about it, and have open and honest
discussions with Muslims-this is how we learn.
With this said,
I love that this channel actually writes all the verses
in Arabic, French, and
ENGLISH (Thank you!)
While reading it
for over an hour, I felt the similarity with the bible. I felt the importance
of “Allah being the ultimate, superior God.” I felt a lot of judgement for
those people who are not followers of Allah. It was a confirmation of how Allah is their absolute everything and it is beautiful to witness their love they have for him.
Here are some
interesting, thought provoking verses:
Allah causes the
day to enter the night and the night to enter the day
Allah is the
Free of need, the praiseworthy
He restrains the
sky from falling on the earth
Allah is kind
and merciful
He is the one
who gave you life, he will make you die, and then give you life again
Allah is the
most knowing of what you do
Allah will judge
between you and the day of resurrection
Allah is
powerful and exalted in might
Alllah is
hearing and seeing
Lord of Seven
layered heavens
Life is not but
our worldly life we die, live and are resurrected
Sinners-those
who do not believe are punished
We charge no
soul except our capacity
But the reward
of the Lord is the best
His alteration
of the night and day.....
of good words and same goes for women
