1.0 out of 5 stars What crap!, December 16, 2005

This review is from: The True Furqan (Hardcover)

Don't even waste your time or money on this book. It belongs in the garbage. If you want real poetry and real divine words, the Holy Quran is available, unchanged from the time it was revealed by Jibreel to the Prophet Muhammad (saw) hundreds of years ago. I'd also like to note that most of the positive reviews (5 stars) for this book come from people with stereotypical "Muslim" names and this is the only thing they've reviewed on this site or they review similar books but put the same review, promoting this garbage book. If you see a positive review for this book, just click on "Read my other reviews." Obviously, they were all written by people who work for the publishing company because they can't get genuinely positive reviews. They use fake Muslim names to make it seem like Muslims like this book. Nice try!

1.0 out of 5 stars Shed some light..., January 5, 2006

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: The True Furqan (Hardcover)

Let me tell you something. Ages and ages back, men recieved guidance by way of prophets and messengers who wrote down the word of GOD. Unfortunately it was due to later man's own vice and corrupt nature that he changed its contents to befit his own agenda. Among those inclusions was the advent of the Trinity (created some 300 hundred years after the 'death' of Christ.) which continues through modern day to be the prominant Christian theory of the nature of God. Now once you read this book, it becomes evident that it actually an attempt to integrate the religions of both Christianity and Islam in order to benefit the Christian religion and draw more believers. WHY SO? Because more and more people are realizing that the TRINITY is just a hoax, a man-made one at that, which cannot be explained by even the most knowledgeable of clergy members. This has been done by copying the Arabic words used in the Quran and Arabic script on the right side and trying to mimicking the Glorious Quran. For all those people who have found this work to be beautiful, yes you would, because some of the rhetoric you refer to as poetry has been 'inspired' by the true Quran itself although the content is absolute garbage to the Muslim. Sorry, no offense intended, but this is not a book for Muslims. For all you Christians and Zionists out there, have a good time reading this book and take what you will from it. But none of you will find the fulfillment, peace and resolve from this so-called duplication of the original Masterpiece, the one and only Quran. Fellow Muslims, our faith is too deep and we have all come across many non-believers who have tried to demean our faith, but they fail to understand the depth of our allegiance to our Lord. We will never leave Islam for anything. We will live and die as Believers. Woe to those who try to defame Islam and our Loving and Merciful God Allah! May we always be united and stand strong against those who oppose. Ameen!

1.0 out of 5 stars From a christian Arab, January 3, 2006

By 

Rich "Rich Haddad" - See all my reviews

This review is from: The True Furqan (Hardcover)

I am very SAD if truly Christian Arabs had anything to do with it.
I am a Christian Arab and I have read the true Furqan as well as the Quran..
In my opinion, the Quran is far superior to the furqan in its linguistic beauty. I am sure that some professor of Semitic language approves of the furqan (WAS HE PAID, IS HE ENANGELIST, DOES HE HATE MUSLIMS..) but however I think native Arabs are better judges of their language. The Quran dazzled poets and intellectuals for over 1400 years. Written in the language of poets such as Mutanbee and Khanasa'a , the Quran is a linguistic miracle. I, as a Christian, who knows Arabic and who studied jurisprudence in Arabic and have taught poetry in Arabic and French and who could read Khalila wa dimnah and Moliere in their original language proclaim that furqan is an infantile try.
But people have lost SIGHTof the challenge in the Quran. The challenge I believe is a multilevel one. Not just a linguistic, but scientific, social, theological, dogmatic, logic and so forth........
The saddest part is, the Furqan makes evangelical Christian sound more like used cars salesmen than people of God. And that's tragic.
MY 2 CENTS.
PEACE
