REAL KORAN

Koran consists of 114 chapters (surahs), and there are two versions of Koran. One version, which may be nicknamed as the “Real Koran [RK],” is in chronological order. The other one, which may be nicknamed as the “Fake Koran [FK],” is arranged according to the length of chapters, i.e. longer chapters are placed before shorter chapters. Because the chapters are scrambled, it is impossible to understand the FK, even if your mother tongue is Arabic; this fact is stated in the following verses of the Koran:

[The following translations of Koran are copied from “The Message of The Quran; Translated And Explained by Muhammad Asad.”]

On the 32nd verse of 25th chapter (Al-Furquan) Allah states as follows:

Now they who are bent on denying the truth are wont to ask, “Why has not the Quran been bestowed on him from on high in one single revelation? [it has been revealed] in this manner so that We might strengthen thy heart thereby - for We have so arranged its component parts that they form one consistent whole -

On the 23rd verse of chapter 39 (Az-Zumar) Allah states as follows:

God bestows from on high the best of all teachings in the shape of a divine writ fully consistent within itself, repeating each statement [of the truth] in manifold forms [a divine writ] whereat shiver the skins of all who of their Sustainer stand in awe: [but] in the end their skins and their hearts do soften at the remembrance of [the grace of] God. Such is God's guidance: He guides therewith him that wills [to be guided] whereas he whom God lets go astray can never find any guide.

If you scramble the chapters of any book and try to read it, it would be very hard to understand it. As stated in the above verses, The Koran is very consistent “in chronological order.” However, almost all available texts of the Koran are in FK form.

In the Real Koran, the important messages are given in about 5% of the whole text. The rest is about Abrahamic religions’ history, and advice for Prophet Mohammed on events that were happening when the Koran was being revealed in the 7th century.

In the Koran Allah, the creator of the universe and humans, talks directly to all mankind. However, since almost all texts of the Koran are in FK form, most humans are unaware of the orders, and the guidance of Allah; many humans have been acting very sinfully, against the rules of God disclosed in the Koran.

The three sections that follow are: * How to understand The Koran. * Some important rules of Sheria that have been being ignored by bigots of all faiths. * The essence of The Koran [i.e. about 5% of the text of The Koran that presents the orders, and the guidance of Allah for humans]

HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE KORAN

In order to understand The Koran there are three prerequisites that are equally important:

In other words, if any one of the above clauses is missing it becomes impossible to comprehend The Koran. (Please note that Mohammad Asad's translation is arranged according to the length of the surahs; for chronological order click here.)
