“And it is He who sends down rain from the sky, and We produce thereby the growth of all things. We produce from it greenery from which We produce grains arranged in layers. And from the palm trees – of its emerging fruit are clusters hanging low. And [We produce] gardens of grapevines and olives and pomegranates, similar yet varied. Look at [each of] its fruit when it yields and [at] its ripening. Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.” [6:99]

“We
took the liberty to make some inquiries
concerning the ground of their pretensions to make war
upon nations who had done them no injury, and observed that
we considered all mankind as our friends who had done us no wrong,
nor had given us any provocation.

nor had given us any provocation.
The
Ambassador [of Tripoli] answered us that it was founded on the Laws of
their Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations
who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it
was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be
found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that
every Muscleman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to
Paradise.

“Oh Jerusalem, the city of sorrow
A big tear wandering in the eye
Who will halt the aggression?
On you, the pearl of religions?
Who will wash your bloody walls?
Who will safeguard the Bible?
Who will rescue the Quran?
Who will save Christ,
From those who have killed Christ?
Who will save man?
A big tear wandering in the eye
Who will halt the aggression?
On you, the pearl of religions?

From those who have killed Christ?
Who will save man?
“They say that Caliph Omar, when consulted about what had to be done with the library of Alexandria, answered as follows: ‘If the books of this library contain matters opposed to the Koran, they are bad and must be burned. If they contain only the doctrine of the Koran, burn them anyway, for they are superfluous.’ Our learned men have cited this reasoning as the height of absurdity. However, suppose Gregory the Great was there instead of Omar and the Gospel instead of the Koran. The library would still have been burned, and that might well have been the finest moment in the life of this illustrious pontiff.
–Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I wept until my tears were dry
I prayed until the candles flickered
I knelt until the floor creaked
I asked about Mohammed and Christ
Oh Jerusalem, the fragrance of prophets
The shortest path between earth and sky
Oh Jerusalem, the citadel of laws
A beautiful child with fingers charred
and downcast eyes
You are the shady oasis passed by the Prophet
Your streets are melancholy
Your minarets are mourning
You, the young maiden dressed in black
Who rings the bells at the Nativity Church,
On sunday morning?
Who brings toys for the children
On Christmas eve?
Oh Jerusalem, the city of sorrow
A big tear wandering in the eye
Who will halt the aggression
On you, the pearl of religions?
Who will wash your bloody walls?
Who will safeguard the Bible?
Who will rescue the Quran?
Who will save Christ, From those who have killed Christ?
Who will save man?
Oh Jerusalem my town
Oh Jerusalem my love
Tomorrow the lemon trees will blossom
And the olive trees will rejoice
Your eyes will dance
The migrant pigeons will return
To your sacred roofs
And your children will play again
And fathers and sons will meet
On your rosy hills
My town
The town of peace and olives”

“…The
Qur’an cannot be translated. …The book is here rendered almost
literally and every effort has been made to choose befitting language.
But the result is not the Glorious Qur’an, that inimitable symphony,
the very sounds of which move men to tears and ecstasy. It is only an
attempt to present the meaning of the Qur’an-and peradventure something
of the charm in English. It can never take the place of the Qur’an in
Arabic, nor is it meant to do so…”

“It is He Who sent down to thee, in truth, the Book (Quran), confirming what went before it; and He sent down the Law (of Moses) and the Gospel (of Jesus) before this, as a guide to mankind, and He sent down the criterion (Quran) (of judgment between right and wrong). – Holy Quran 3:3”

“When the sun shall be folded up; and when the stars shall fall; and when the mountains shall be made to pass away; and when the camels ten months gone with young shall be neglected; and when the seas shall boil; and when the souls shall be joined again to their bodies; and when the girl who hath been buried alive shall be asked for what crime she was put to death; and when the books shall be laid open; and when the heavens shall be removed; and when hell shall burn fiercely; and when paradise shall be brought near: every soul shall know what it hath wrought.”

“The Qur’an does not ask for human perfection, but rather
asks that we persevere in striving for self-improvement and that we never
become complacent or despondent about our progress.”

“There
are certain verses in the Quran which convey injunctions similar to
the following: ‘Kill them wherever you find them.’ (2:191)
Referring to such verses, there are some who attempt to give the impression that Islam is a religion of war and violence. This is total untrue. Such verses relate in a restricted sense, to those who have unilaterally attacked the Muslims. The above verse does not convey the general command of Islam. (pp. 42-43)”

“And He is with you wherever you may be.”
“Anyone who has learned the Quran and holds it lovingly in his heart will ‘value his nights when people are asleep, his days when people are given to excess, his grief when people are joyful, his weeping when people laugh, his silence when people chatter and his humility when people are arrogant’. In other words every moment of life will be precious to him, and he should therefore be ‘gentle’, never harsh nor quarrelsome, ‘nor one who makes a clamour in the market nor one who is quick to anger’.”
― Ibn Mas’ud
“… classical Arabic, being the language of the Qur’an, has not

Islamic scholars as accessible today as they were then.”

“Each of those churches shows certain books, which they call
revelation, or the Word of God. The Jews say that their Word of God was
given by God to Moses face to face; the Christians say, that their Word
of God came by divine inspiration; and the Turks say, that their Word
of God (the Koran) was brought by an angel from heaven. Each of those
churches accuses the other of unbelief; and, for my own part, I
disbelieve them all.”

“Submission, when it is submission to the truth — and when the truth is known to be both beautiful and merciful — has nothing in common with fatalism or stoicism as these terms are understood in the Western tradition, because its motivation is different. According to Fakhr ad-Din ar-RazT, one of the great commentators upon the Quran: The worship of the eyes is
weeping, the worship of the ears is listening, the worship of the tongue is praise, the worship of the hands is giving, the worship of the body is effort, the worship of the heart is fear and hope, and the worship of the spirit is surrender and satisfaction in Allah.”
― Fakhr ad-Din ar-Razi, Gai Eaton
“Arabic science throughout its golden age was inextricably linked
to religion; indeed, it was driven by the need of early scholars to
interpret the Qur’an.”

“Remaining for a moment with the question of legality and
illegality: United Nations Security Council Resolution 1368, unanimously
passed, explicitly recognized the right of the United States to
self-defense and further called upon all member states ‘to bring to
justice the perpetrators, organizers and sponsors of the terrorist
attacks. It added that ‘those responsible for aiding, supporting or
harboring the perpetrators, organizers and sponsors of those acts will
be held accountable.’ In a speech the following month, the United
Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan publicly acknowledged the right of
self-defense as a legitimate basis for military action. The SEAL unit
dispatched by President Obama to Abbottabad was large enough to allow
for the contingency of bin-Laden’s capture and detention. The naïve
statement that he was ‘unarmed’ when shot is only loosely compatible
with the fact that he was housed in a military garrison town, had a
loaded automatic weapon in the room with him, could well have been
wearing a suicide vest, had stated repeatedly that he would never be
taken alive, was the commander of one of the most violent organizations
in history, and had declared himself at war with the United States. It
perhaps says something that not even the most casuistic apologist for
al-Qaeda has ever even attempted to justify any of its ‘operations’ in
terms that could be covered by any known law, with the possible
exception of some sanguinary verses of the Koran.”
