What is Al Qur’an (The Koran)?

Terry Jones, the Florida pastor, burn the Koran in his small church in Gainesville, Fla., on March 20, with only 30 worshipers attending.

The act drew little response worldwide, but provoked angry condemnation in Afghanistan and Pakistan, where it was reported in the local media and where anti-American sentiment already runs high. Last week, President Asif Ali Zardari of Pakistan condemned the burning in an address before Parliament, and President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan on Thursday called on the United States to bring those responsible for the Koran burning to justice.

So, What is the Koran?

Koran derived from Arabic word Al Qur’an. It means “The Reading”. Al Qur’an is the words of God revealed to the Prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him.

The Miracles of Al Qur’an and Modern Science

It is true that Al Qur’an is a miracle from God. How come? Many Al Qur’an verses that were sent down in 7^th century where science was not developed yet (many people thought the earth is flat and the Sun revolves arount the Earth) fit with the Modern Science.

For example look at the verses below:

Heaven and Earth used to be one

“Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were of one piece, then We parted them, and We made every living thing of water? Will they not then believe?” [Al Anbiyaa:30]
