The 911 attacks was devastating and one of the saddest days in our country history! I'm a American Muslim and a proud one, and what happened on that day everyone felt that pain and muslim don't condone what happened on that day.
The burning of the holy Qur'an is very dangerous at a time like this and very disrespectful to the country. Other countries and religious faiths. Two wrongs don't make it right it makes it worst.
BELIEF IN THE NOBLE QUR'AN
The muslim believes that the noble Qur'an is the book of Allah revealed to the best of his creatures, the most eminent of his prophets and messengers- our prophet Mohammad as he revealed the other books to the previous messengers. He believes that the rules in the noble Qur'an abrogated the rules and regulations of the previous divine books. He also believes that messengership ended with the message of Mohammad.
It is the book that comprises the most comprehensive divine law. Allah guarantees happiness in this life and in the hereafter for those who adhere to its commandments. He threatens those who turn away from it with wretchedness in this life and the hereafter.The noble Qur'an alone is the book that Allah guards against additions and omissions, alterations and distortions. It will last intact until this life ends. This belief rises from the following textual and rational proofs:1. Allah the almighty said about the Qur'an: Blessed is he who sent down the criterion( of right and wrong, i.e. the Qur'an) to his slave (Muhammad that he may be a warning to the alamin (mankind and jinn).And: This is based upon Allah's saying: Whoever follows my guidance; then he will not stray. We relate unto you the best of stories through our revelations unto you, of this Qur'an. And before this, you were among the heedless, those who knew nothing about it (the Qur'an)
And: Surely we have sent down to you (o Mohammad) the book (ThisQur'an) is the truth that you might judge between men by that which Allah has shown you, so be not a pleader for the treacherous.
And:O people of the scripture (Jews and Christians)! now has come to you our messenger explaining to you much of that which you used to hide from the scripture and pass over (i.e leaving out without explaining) much. Indeed, there has come to you from Allah a light and a plain book (this Qu'ran). Wherewith Allah guides all those who seek his good pleasure to ways of peace, and he brings them out of darkness by his will unto light and guides them to the straight way.
And:Then whoever follows my guidance, he shall neither go astray nor shall he be distressed. But whosoever turns away from my reminder, verily for him is a life of hardship, and we shall raise him up blind on the day of resurrection.And:And verily, it is an honorable well-fortified respected book. Falsehood cannot come to it from before it of behind it, (it is) sent down by the all-wise, worthy of all praise (Allah).
And:"Indeed! i have been given the book and the like of it along with it."
And: "The best among you is he who learns the Qur'an and teaches it."And:"There should be no envy except for two men: A man whom Allah has taught the Qur'an and he recites it during the hours of the night and during the hours of the day, and a man whom Allah gave wealth and he spent (in good) during the hours of the night and the hours of the day. And:
"There was no prophet among the prophets but he was given some signs that would cause humanity to believe in him. The one given to me was what Allah revealed to me, so i hope to have more followers than them on the day of resurrection."3. The belief and certainty of billions of Muslims that the noble Qur'an is the book of Allah and his revelation to his messenger- along with their recitation and memorization of it, and their adherence to its rules and legalization.
RATIONAL PROOFS1. In spite of the illiteracy of the prophet (Mohammad) who never read, wrote, or joined a school, the noble Qur'an comprises unquestionable facts related to various branches of knowledge, like astronomy, history, legislation and law, the sciences of war and politics. The presence of such various field of knowledge is a strong evidence that it is the word of Allah revealed by him. Reason rejects the idea that an unlettered man could know all of these branches of knowledge.2. The challenge of Allah, the one who revealed to mankind and the jinn to produce the like of it. As he said:
If mankind and the jinns were together to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they helped one another.3. The Qur'an foretells many events of the unseen, some of these events already took place as informed without discrepancies.4. As long as Allah the almighty has sent down books other than the noble Qur'an to the messengers other than Mohammad, such as the Tawrah to musa, the injil to isa, it should not be denied that Allah has sent down the noble Qur'an likewise. Does reason reject or deem impossible the notion of sending down the noble Qur'an? Nay, reason implies that it would be revealed.5. All the prophecies of the noble Qur'an came true as they were foretold by the noble Qur'an. All of its information and narrations were (carefully) scrutinized and found to be non-contradictory. All of its rules, regulations, and laws were tried and proved the security, dignity, and glory they were designed for. What proofs are required beside these to prove that the noble Qur'an is the word of Allah revealed to the best of his creatures and the last of the prophets and messengers?[Among these is the case of the roman victory over the Persians. During the time of the revelation about it, the Romans appeared to have no chance to outdo the Persians. But no more than two years passed before the Romans defeated the Persians. Allah said: The Romans have been defeated in the nearer land. And they will, after their defeat, be victorious. Within [three to nine] years.
