i know what you say richard. i believe in God my religion is islam but Ahsan said:

"There was no bibliography. That is why I could only read this book as a work of fiction. Perhaps if the author had been a bit more clearer about his sources...perhaps."

and i want him to know Guran is from our God and don't need bibliography.

There is a high possibility that Prophet Muhammad, was born before the 4th Century of the Common Era and the Holy Quran was sent down in the 4th Century in order to counter the distortion of the 1st Book of ALLAH, which comprises of the Torah and Injeel by the Roman Christians as confirmed by the Quranic verse below:

Holy Quran 02:79 -So woe to those who write the "Book" with their own hands, then say, "This is from ALLAH ," in order to exchange it for a small price. Woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for what they earn.

Let’s look at the verse which is one of the Quranic evidence, proving that the Quran was sent down during Nicaea. I will segregate the verse into A & B

A. So woe to those who write the "Book" with their own hands, then say, "This is from ALLAH," in order to exchange it for a small price.

Look at the imperfect verb [underline], shows that the sentence in Present Tense. It proofs that the Quran was sent down during the time when a Book was written. This can only be during the Creed of Nicaea in 325, when the Romans under Constantine created the Bible. This was the time when the distortion of the Book of ALLAH started.

From The Bible's Ungodly Origins by Robert L. Johnson….

Emperor Constantine, who was Roman Emperor from 306 CE until his death in 337 CE, used what motivates many to action - MONEY! He offered the various Church leaders MONEY to agree upon a single canon that would be used by all Christians as the word of God. The Church leaders gathered together at the Council of Nicaea and voted the "word of god" into existence. Constantine ordered and financed 50 parchment copies of the new "holy scriptures." It seems with the financial element added to the picture, the Church fathers were able to overcome their differences and finally agree which "holy" books would stay and which would go.

The Prophet comes into the picture to stop the distortion, as per the Holy Quran…

Holy Quran 05:68 - Say, "O People of the Scripture, you are on nothing until you uphold [the law of] the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to you from your Lord."

The command of ALLAH thru HIS prophet is the above verse. This shows explicitly that the Book of ALLAH was intact. Nobody in their right mind, especially a prophet, would want to teach things that are already distorted! The Prophet warned the People of the Book to uphold the Torah and Gospel and the Quran for their own salvation. Unfortunately, they did not as per the Holy Quran...

Holy Quran 05:66 -And if they had kept up the Taurat and the Injeel and that which was revealed to them from their Lord, they would certainly have eaten from above them and from beneath their feet, there is a party of them keeping to the moderate course, and (as for) most of them, evil is that which they do.

B. Woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for what they earn.

Again, look at the perfect verb and imperfect verb [underline], shows that the sentence in Past Tense and Present Tense respectively. The above verse confirms that most of scriptures of the NT were composed before or after / early 4th Century.

Further, an abstract from The Bible's Ungodly Origins by Robert L. Johnson….

"Therefore, one can easily argue that the first Christian Bible was commissioned, paid for, inspected and approved by a pagan emperor for church use."

So, it had been prophesied by the Almighty that the Bible will be distorted. Another most significant proof that the Holy Quran was sent down in the 4th Century is the story about the Sleepers of the Cave. This Glorious Quranic verse is a prophecy and a Quranic evidence.

AQ 18:22 - They will say there were three, the fourth of them being their dog; and they will say there were five, the sixth of them being their dog - guessing at the unseen; and they will say there were seven, and the eighth of them was their dog. Say, [O Muhammad], "My Lord is most knowing of their number. None knows them except a few. So do not argue about them except with an obvious argument and do not inquire about them among from anyone."

Study the tenses carefully and you will find that the sentence is in Future/Present Tense. None knows them except a few. Historical evidence from the earliest Christian version of this story comes from the Syrian bishop, Jacob of Sarugh (c. 450-521), in the 6th-century.

Another significant Quranic proof –

AQ 18:25 - And they remained in their cave for three hundred years and exceeded by nine

Historical evidence shows that the persecution of the so called Christians in the Roman Empire occurred over a period of about three centuries until the 313 Edict of Milan issued by Emperors Constantine and Licinius. This was the beginning of the era of official Christianity. A new religion was born. The Sleepers of the Cave slept in the year 13 and woke up 300 years later, in the year 313. 313 CE was the period where the persecutions to the believers stop. ALLAH THE EXALTED extended the lives of the Sleepers to another 9 years. They died in year 322. The 1st Nicene Creed was in the year

You have made a good start in the evaluation of literary writings in order to broaden your understanding of the foundation of 2 religions. I think it is important to discuss both books with equality. it is unreasonable to claim either as devine, or more accurate than the other. it is also unreasonable to evaluate one by the claims of the other, or to use a single source of reference. However, all analysis starts at a single point and evolves from there. Seek truth with an open heart and mind. God loves you all.

Every religion reads to me as rules to live a harmonious life, written in parable form, a parable requires both the conscious and subconscious minds to interpret. Think of 'The boy who cried wolf' the meaning of the story can be applied to different settings where no wolf is present, change wolf to fire, tsunami, bandits or whatever, the message doesn't change. Interpret the meaning to fit the time or situation. The Qur'an included a warning against misinterpretation, and was written in the most precise language of the time for that reason. What you learn from reading without translation, and what you learn from being taught are completely different. I say your own interpretation of the writings is more precise than the teachings of any other. Believe what you believe not what others believe.
