Isn't the Qu'ran written in a dialect known to people of the time it is written? It's very hard to translate in today's dialect, isn't it? That's what I have studied. This is false. The Qur'an was written in Arabic and is not "hard to translate." All people who can read Arabic can read the Qur'an. Why would God write a book to all nations that could hardly be translated, without punctuation? He didn't. You're only making that case because it suits your position. Is it because it is a detailed explanation of why the Qu'ran might not be as accurate as you think? No, it is because you got your information that is notorious for speading lies about Islam (i.e. the "Answering Islam" page). Muslims despise the site not because of what it says, but because of what it has fabricated. Their translations are inconsistent. . I am posting intellectual information which you choose to accept or reject. But I ask you to at least read it through before you reject it. I have no problem with that. I do have a problem with creating falsehoods against Islam to suit your case. I know I have eternal life....do you? Muhammed surely did not. Here is the proof straight from your writings What writings? Muhammad (Pbuh) was illiterate!! Mohammed said. "By Allah, though I am the apostle of Allah, yet I do not know what Allah will do to me." Hadith Vol. 5:266 Nice try, but this will only convince those who are too lazy to investigate the facts. Muhammad (Pbuh) and all Muslims know that all Prophets will reside in Paradise. That's made clear in the Qur'an. Muhammad (Pbuh) was talking here about what God would do next. For no one knows what God will do with us. Peace be unto You, Norris
