Mathimeen, I agree I didn't read Qur'an. But do u mean the 100s and 1000s of ppl around us and you are the only smart person among all of them. We get knowledge by reading, by listening and by doing. What ever knowledge most of us have is by this mean only. But there are many ppl who have read the book and have posted their view, you cann't deny them. After all what is ur authenticity and credibility? Who are u? No one knows you then why should we vouch for u? At the end, the question remains still open. What ever we hear seems very true. If they are false, then it has to be proved by the fellow men who follow Islam. Let the religion be ur source of finding peace but dont let it play a spoil sports. I hope you understand whatever I mean.
