| I LOVE GIGGS said: I think what they mean is you, as a christian, should believe that it is a holy text and shouldn't through it at the ground. |
Hey wait a second I never said I threw it at the ground. Its just I have no room on my shelves and stuff is all over my apartment (Fairly messy) I tend to loose my Bible often. So I set it on the ground by my bed so that I know where it is at all times. I didn't think it would offend anyone especially a Muslim because I couldn't understand how the Bible is seen as a Holy text.
Its still hard for me to understand. But I guess if Muslim's believe the Bible was the word of God and was tampered with and such maybe it could still be a holy text in their eyes.
Sorta confusing for a Christian to understand. Especially since my friend quotes the Bible.
Another funny thing I don't get is. He at least believes this, that the Quran shouldn't be translated. As such he has never actually read the Quran as he only knows english. He also believes in praying in arabic despite not knowing arabic, he memorises prayers his Imam teaches him and prays them.
I can't see how someone could believe in a Holy Book they can't read. Theirs english versions availible but he thinks that its blasphemy to read them. He believes anything his Imam says. I find that weird, as even I have read parts of the Quran. I just can't see how anyone can have faith based on a holy text they themselves have not read or know much about.
I guess thats why some extremists Imam's can so easily brainwash some believers. If they can't read the Quran themselves and believe what ever their Imam tells them. Thats sorta dangerous.
Do all Muslim's believe you can't translate the Quran? Or is it a belief only shared by certain sects?
