You always say that one should read The Koran in Arabic, we are quoting out of context, etc.
Do you know that the great Mogul Emperor, Akbar himself was disillusioned with Islam and had started his own religion called "Deen-e-ilahi" Akbar's mother was a persian woman and he had mastery over Arabic language. Do you want us to believe that Akbar was a dim-wit who could not understand the Koran and its meaning or context?

Ideed Many Muslims didnot and donot understand what Islam is: They profess it only becoz they were born into it:
There are many Hindus who are disillusioned by Hinduism and leave it: Does it make Hindusim any lesser religion? Infact one of the Malabary King accepted Islam at the hands of the prophet and before that he was a Hindu- So what does it tell u? Faith is a matter of heart and different people have different understanding-
And for your kind information- Akbar was nit disillusioned with Islam- He was trying to synthesize Islam and other religions that he encountered into one Universal Truth- After all there are some universal truths and understanding that are common to all religions. However the truth that God is only one, rest all is falsehood.
I dont say this the vedas say: Those who worship sambhooti (created things) are in darkness.
The higher forms of hindu religion belives in an all pervading single atma/God/Allah but do the hindus believe it??? Seriously??? Do all Hindus know this??? Similarly there are many muslims who donot go beyond a literal understanding of the verses of the quran although there is a very rich history and context benhind all the revealtions. all revelations are linked to events happening in the life of the prophet and his followers in and around arabia.
And Quran is considered a linguistic miracle. And muslims of the subcontinent hardly understand quranic arabic! Even to this day the MIGHTY Isrealites and the Might Christian

The Quran says: Indeed we have revealed this Quran as a mercy and healing to the hearts of the belivers and indeed we are its guardians!

Dear hakeem, the Quran is no liguistic miracle. it was the concoction of Mohammed to motivate his followrers (with all those rewards in "Paradise" or cruel punishment in heall, etc.
The so-called holy books have lost their relevance in today's world driven by science and technology. Pl come out of the religious dogmas. The "Paradise" existed only in the fertile imagination of Mohammed. Pl don't blow yourself up for availaing those rewards nor harm others!!!!!!!
