Is the Koran as boring and repetitive to you as it is to me?

. In the original language it's usually pleasing or attractive or phonetically harmonious somehow, liek the chorus of a song.

Boring in English, printed on the page.

Yes, thats right, when I worked in KSA, many non-Muslims would tell me they loved the sound of the adhan and fajr prayer, even though they could not understand a word of it.

The Quran itself means recital, its not meant to be read, but recited.
 
The Qur'an is out of copyright. Copyright exists for the life of the author plus a number of years - usually 50 or 75, depending on where you live.

err, so if Quran, Bible..etc has no copyrights, i can re-publish them and keep all profits ?? and i might can edit them also ??:bugeye:
 
The text is freely available, why would they buy from you when they can print their own copy or buy cheaply from a mass publisher?

Haven't you heard of Project Gutenberg?

Yeah, thats an anti-terrorism verse. It supports the war on terror.
 
OMG :eek::eek:

10) And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah is worse than killing. And fight not with them at Al-Masjid-al-Haram (the sanctuary at Makkah), unless they (first) fight you there. But if they attack you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.

Context is the key to understanding this verse. Read the entire statement before attempting to offer commentary.

Quran 2:190. Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors.

191. And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have Turned you out; for tumult and oppression (fitnah) are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith.

192. But if they cease, Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

193. And fight them on until there is no more Tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah. but if they cease, Let there be no hostility except to those who practise oppression.

194. The prohibited month for the prohibited month,- and so for all things prohibited,- there is the law of equality. If then any one transgresses the prohibition against you, Transgress ye likewise against him. But fear Allah, and know that Allah is with those who restrain themselves.
