Most of Muslims do not know Arabic but they read Qur’an very much. Thread is not about understanding but reading! Imams preach the meaning and interpretation.
Good grief. Reading implies understanding, otherwise you are mouthing the sounds of words you don’t understand. Nothing more than glorified gibberish. It would be like praying in Latin, Chinese or Polish to an English speaker. Except, without even a basic understanding.
 
You haven’t answered this question (posted above) yet.

Also, what is the **illiterate **level of muslims world wide.
Muslims are much more than that number.

I do not know but that do not concern thread. By reading I do not mean to read interpretation but reading the original text. Even some Muslims cannot read Arabic but they memorise some verses in Arabic pronunciation for worships. If you ask such Muslims “who is creator of every thing?” The answer is always “Allah!”.

Ofcourse knowing meaning is very importand and Qur’an states that:

9- Is one who is devoutly obedient during periods of the night, prostrating and standing [in prayer], fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Lord, [like one who does not]? Say, “Are those who know equal to those who do not know?” Only they will remember [who are] people of understanding. Az-Zumar(39)

That is prejudice and evil intentional. You do not understand that Qur’an is direct miraculous word of God. Otherwise it would be nonsense to repeat so much and nobody would be so wishful to read.
 
Please be reminded that even for Arabic speaking Muslims, the Quran may be a little foregin as it is in 7th century Arabic and would therefore have a style and shades of meaning with which they may not be familiar. It would be like us native English speakers reading in Old Middle Ages English. I think we should struggle with it.

That is why there is a high reliance in the Muslim world on clerics to explain the Quran to ordinary folks, even when a translation in the vernacular is available. That would be fine if there are checks and balances to ensure that those clerics stay within orthodox Islamic beliefs and/or do not misuse Islam for personal/political/etc purposes But there isn’t such checks and balances. So, you can imagine what happens in some (I hasten to add, a minority) of cases.

Its not that I don’t understand your position, its that I disagree with it completely. Much of the Quran has Syriac words in it, which, of you don’t understand the context of both, you’d misunderstand it. So, what good is repeating ‘abrakadabrA massa fassa’ and pronouncing it as perfect as you were instructed, if you’ve learned nothing but to copy whoever said it to you? Certainly God didn’t teach you, nor your teacher directly, so saying ‘its Gods word’ is not supporting your position
 
Indeed Qur’an does not need such thing but some very skeptic fellows ask. I know the number of reading Qur’an is not through such statistics.
Can you produce any credible evidence or statistics to prove that the Quran is the most read book? I’ll need more than what you think is accurate
 
Faith is not based on statistics. If you wonder you can google such thing “what Muslims read in Salat?” Do you know Muslims perform Salat 5 times a day?
So, you are saying that 1.6 billion Muslims (all of them) do this 5 times a day!

Is that your guess or is that a fact?
 
Even using that entirely exaggerated notion of “read”, the Bible is read by 2.2billion+ Christians on any given Sunday (not to mention weekday), so it still would be wrong. If this is what passes for critical thinking and reasoning, it’s easy to see why so many go astray in non-Catholic religions, especially not understanding what is read and being taught by leaders with their own agenda.

Think that one third of them do. That make some hundred thousands people a day!

Reading Qur’an is not a official function to measure. People read Qur’an in some part of day at home, mosque etc.

In other words, no facts to back up this notion just personal speculation.
 
Qur’an is eternal God’s word not God Himself!
So you believe. We say it is not God’s word since it contradicts God’s Word Jesus, the Church, the Apostolic Fathers, and God given reason.

When you say it is “eternal”, do you mean after it was told (according to your belief) to Muhammad it became eternal; that after it was compiled later by caliphs, it became eternal; or that it is “eternal” in the heart of the faithful allegorically, or what?

So you have no proof to back up your claim. Good that’s settled but I’ll like to point out that people also read the Bible every day and there are more Christians than Muslims and the Bible was in existence longer than the Quran.

Furthermore hasantas, I see you had a reply to my comment #614. But lets go back to my question I asked numerous times.
** Is “sister” in the Quran ever used metaphorically when speaking of relationships between people? **

Nobody read Bible! Surprised?

Qur’an in Arabic is original revelation that came to Muhammad. All Muslims read Qur’an in Arabic. In that manner Qur’an is most read.

But Christians read not original Gospel but a translation or interpretation in native tongue. Yet there is no original Gospel to read so nobody read Gospel(revelation of Jesus).

“Is sister…” I did not say anything about metaphorical use. I know there are some statements in that way but Mary should have had a brother whose name were Aaron.

You contradict Jesus in many ways. For instance Jesus never claimed to be God but you ascribe Jesus such thing.
 
The term Qur’an derive from Karaa(read) which mean such thing that is read very much. And the first order was Ikra!(read!)

“Nobody read Bible!” Why? Because no original Gospel to read, but yet you use this Bible to try and benefit the Quran.

But the fact of the matter hasantas is that you have no proof to back up your claim.

I’ve said nothing about you using metaphorical use. I asked is"sister" in the Quran ever used metaphorically when speaking of relationships between people?
Its yes or no.
Saying “Mary should have had a brother whose name was Aaron” does not answer my question.
I’ve stated in previous comments how Mary does not have a brother. But in Quran it states Mary has a brother named Aaron and their father is named Imran. Which we know is not the case

Surat al-Tur. What language is al-Tur?
 
Hasantas, what do you mean there is no original bible? We’ve actually done a pretty good job keeping it and even translating it so others can read it. This is even attested to in the Koran. Syrah 6;115 and Syrah 18;27. I understand that is not the official Islamic understanding but that is still what it says. It says no one can change Allahs word. Not no one can change the Koran. So when you state Christians don’t have the original then you defy the Koran and become an apostate in the eyes of Islam. Be careful if your goal is to remain a muslim. However, if you goal is to become a Christian then join us.
