The '''Qur'ān''' (القرآن) is the central religious text of [[Islam]]. Muslims believe the Qur'an to be the book of divine guidance and direction for mankind. They also consider the text in its original [[Arabic]], to be the literal word of [[Allah]]<ref>[{{Quran-url-only|2|23}} Qur'ān, Chapter 2, Verses 23-24]</ref> revealed by the angel Jibreel ([[Gabriel]]) to [[Muhammad]] over a period of twenty-three years<ref>''Living Religions: An Encyclopaedia of the World's Faiths,'' Mary Pat Fisher, 1997, page 338,  I.B.

==Structure and Content of the Qur'an==
== Riferimenti ==
 
In length, the Qur'an is slightly shorter than the Christian New Testament (at approximately 165,000 words in English).<ref>[http://www.2think.org/hundredsheep/bom/written.shtml Could Joseph Smith have written the Book of Mormon?] - The Hundredth Sheep</ref> The text is not in chronological order, but arranged roughly longest surah (chapter) to the shortest. Ayahs (verses) are written in the first person (spoken by Allah), thus they generally lack context. For context, Muslims use Hadith collections (oral traditions which record Muhammad's words and actions) and the Sirat (biography of Muhammad). With these, the surahs can be separated into two categories; Meccan and Medinan.
 
===Love and Fear in the Qur'an===
 
"While there are over 300 references in the Koran to Allah and fear, there are only 49 references to love.  Of these love references, 39 are negative such as the 14 negative references to love of money, power, other gods and status.
 
Three verses command humanity to love Allah and 2 verses are about how Allah loves a believer. There are 25 verses about how Allah does not love kafirs (unbelievers)
 
This leaves 5 verses about love. Of these 5, 3 are about loving kin or a Muslim brother. One verse commands a Muslim to give for the love of Allah. This leaves only one quasi-universal verse about love: give what you love to charity and even this is contaminated by dualism since Muslim charity only goes to other Muslims."<ref name="STATISTICAL ANALYSIS">Bill Warner - [http://www.faithfreedom.biz/new-page-128.htm LOVE VERSUS FEAR IN THE KORAN: A STATISTICAL ANALYSIS AND REFORM ACCORDING TO GOLDEN RULE] </ref>
 
===Non-Muslims and Punishment in the Qur'an===
 
Approximately 67% of the Meccan verses deal with punishing unbelievers for disagreeing with Muhammad, and more than 50% of the Medinan verses deals with hypocrites and jihad against unbelievers.<ref name="STATISTICAL ANALYSIS"></ref> Also, there are nearly 500 verses (roughly one out of every twelve) in the entire Qur'an which speak of [[Jahannam|Hell]], and over 400 teachings of hate of Jews, Christians, Idolaters and Kafirs.<ref name="STATISTICAL ANALYSIS"></ref>
 
===Jihad===
 
Not including verses which deal with heavenly rewards for Jihadists, generic mentions of "victory", and Muhammad's negative opinions of those who do not participate in Jihad, there are roughly 164 Jihad verses in the Qur'an.<ref>[http://www.yoel.info/koranwarpassages.htm 164 Jihad Verses in the Koran] - Yoel Natan</ref> These speak clearly and directly of military expedition, fighting, spoils of war, etc.
 
===Immorality===
 
The Qur'an justifies and permits many things which we would consider as immoral in today's world. These include; [[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Homosexuality|hatred of Homosexuals]], [[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Lying and Deception|lying]], [[Pedophilia in the Qur'an|pedophilia]], [[Polygamy in Islam|polygamy]], [[Islamic Antisemitism|racism]], [[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Dhimmitude|religious discrimination]], [[The_Ultimate_Message_of_the_Qur'an#Surah_9_.28Repentence.29|terrorism]], [[Wife Beating in Islam|violence against women]], [[slavery]] and [[rape]]. Of course, even when presented with the relevant Qur'anic evidence, such statements will be ignored by many as Islamophobic nonsense. However, this does not explain why many practicing Muslims agree. Surely they too are not suffering from Islamophobia? This inconvenient fact exposes [[Islamophobia|the absurdity]] of this popular neologism.

Nomani, The Daily Beast, September 8, 2010|''As a Florida pastor plans a Quran-burning bonfire on September 11, The Daily Beast’s Asra Q. Nomani [author of Standing Alone: An American Woman's Struggle for the Soul of Islam], herself a Muslim, says there are a few brutal passages in the Quran that need to go up in smoke.''
 
On the plan to burn Qurans this weekend, I say to Muslims: Let's get over the symbolic insult and deal with the very real issues of literal interpretations of the Quran that are used to sanction domestic violence, terrorism, militancy, and suicide bombings in the name of Islam.
 
Gen. David Petraeus has weighed in, saying that the planned burnings by the Rev. Terry Jones' congregation in Florida will endanger U.S. soldiers fighting in Afghanistan. But I believe that there is something that endangers Americans and American soldiers even more: certain passages that—when read literally—pit Muslims against Americans and the West.
 
I believe the Qurans are being burnt because we, as Muslims, haven't dealt sincerely and intellectually with very serious issues that certain Quranic passages raise, particularly in the West. These include verses—when literally read—that say that disobedient wives can be beaten “lightly,” that Muslims can't be friends with the Jews and the Christians, and that it's OK to kill converts from Islam.
 
We, as Muslims, need to tear a few pages out of the Quran—symbolically, at least, by rejecting literal adherence to certain problematic verses.}}

Il Corano (القرآن) è il testo religioso principale dell'Islam. I Musulmani credono che il Corano sia il libro della guida divina e della condotta per gli esseri umani. Inoltre credono che tale testo nell'originale Arabo, sia la parola letterale di Allah[1] rivelato dall'angelo Jibreel (Gabriele) a Maometto per un periodo di ventitre anni[2][3], e considerano il Corano come ultima rivelazione di Dio.[4][5]
