You think you are alive because you breathe air? Shame on you, that you are alive in such a limited way. Don't be without Love, so you won't feel dead. Die in Love and stay alive forever.
Her er noen vers fra Koranen som i hvertfall fikk i gang min refleksjon for over tre år siden. Dette er eksempler på vers som avslører noe vitenskapen ikke har funnet ut av i den senere tid. Koranen er den samme som for 1400 år siden - så hvordan kunne en analfabet "gærning" midt i ørkenen vite dette? Eller står det noe høyere bak? Opp til deg selv å avgjøre. And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander (51:47) Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and We separated them and made from water every living thing? Then will they not believe? (21:30) The Day when We will fold the heaven like the folding of a [written] sheet for the records. As We began the first creation, We will repeat it. [That is] a promise binding upon Us. Indeed, We will do it (21:104) And it is He who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon; all [heavenly bodies] in an orbit are swimming (21:33) Then I swear by the setting of the stars. And indeed, it is an oath - if you could know - [most] great (56:75-76) And you see the mountains, thinking them rigid, while they will pass as the passing of clouds. [It is] the work of Allah , who perfected all things. Indeed, He is Acquainted with that which you do (27:88) Videre lesing: http://www.quranmiracles.com
Dette funnet bare styrker troen min enda mer med tanke på påliteligheten og det autentiske med Koranen. Dette er noe dessverre som mangler i de fleste religioner. Det blir bare ekstra tydelig hvordan islam på en troverdig og vakker måte avslutter og forener alle religioner:
"What may be the world's oldest fragments of the Koran have been found by the University of Birmingham.
Radiocarbon dating found the manuscript to be at least 1,370 years old, making it among the earliest in existence.
The pages of the Muslim holy text had remained unrecognised in the university library for almost a century.
The British Library's expert on such manuscripts, Dr Muhammad Isa Waley, said this "exciting discovery" would make Muslims "rejoice".
The manuscript had been kept with a collection of other Middle Eastern books and documents, without being identified as one of the oldest fragments of the Koran in the world.
When a PhD researcher, Alba Fedeli, looked more closely at these pages it was decided to carry out a radiocarbon dating test and the results were "startling".
The university's director of special collections, Susan Worrall, said researchers had not expected "in our wildest dreams" that it would be so old.
"Finding out we had one of the oldest fragments of the Koran in the whole world has been fantastically exciting."
