What is Islam? & How to understand Islam and Muslims ?

Tweet

The Holy Quran was revealed in stages over a period of 23 years, and not as a book in one single act of revelation, I think that start Learning about Islam by reading the Holy Quran will lead you to Nothing, The Holy Quran is The scripture For Muslims and people who Have a clear Idea about Islam and know what Islam is about, and when you know that The Quran was revealed in stages over a period of 23 years you will quite understand that it will be very difficult for Non-Muslims to try Learning Islam starting by reading the Holy Quran in two or Three days. after a long time here in Mylot I have read a common question in discussions between Muslims and Non-Muslims, when a Non-Muslim write something misunderstood about Islam, and The Muslim ask Him Have you read the Quran? The Non-Muslim answers with Yes, I came to the consultation that both the Muslim and the Non-Muslim are right, the Muslim -because he is a Muslim- think That everyone read the Quran will understand the Message of Islam, But -in my opinion- while it is true that reading The Holy Quran is very Useful for Muslims and Those who understand what Islam is, it very difficult for non-Muslims and people who have no idea about Islam to Learn about Islam starting by reading The Holy Quran. to summarize, reading the holy Quran will not lead to the same result, when it is done by Muslims and Non-Muslims, because the Non-Muslims need to Understand first what Islam is about, and Then they can read The Holy Quran.
