The Koran also say that Abraham and all the prophets were Muslims (of course not in the meaning of the Islam practiced after Muhammad came but rather in that there is only one God and that God is the only creator of this universe).
According to the Koran, Islam is the primordial an universal religion, and even nature itself is Muslim, because it automatically obeys the laws God has ingrained in it.
The Arabic word islam means "to surrender." As a religious term in the Koran it means "to surrender to the will or law of God." One who practices Islam is a Muslim.

 Koran, Qur'an, or Qora’an, Fatiha, Fatihah
The Koran, or Qur'an (Arabic for "recital"), is the Sacred Scripture of Islam.
Extending that thought, Muhammad's claim that the Koran was "God's Word" would still be indirectly true, as the majority of the Koran's 80,000 words, actually came from much older Manuscripts from God, primarily the Pentateuch (Torah, or Taurat).
The Koran, termed glorious and wonderful (50:1; 72:1), describes itself as a healing and mercy, as light and guidance from God (17:82; 27:77; 41:44; 42:52), as the absolute Truth (69:51), and as a perspicuous Book sent down from heaven in Arabic (12:1-2), part by part (17:106; 25:32), upon Muhammad.

The doctrine of the Koran will be fully discussed in the article on the religion of Islam.

 Koran, The
There is a common idea today that all of the content of the Koran is eternal and there is a theological idea that the original of the Koran is written on golden tablets in heaven, as said in sura 85:22.
The Koran must be understood as an amalgamation of 2 forms of content: The actual message from God that Muhammad wanted to pass on.
The Koran is regarded by most as the uncreated word of God, written on golden tablets in Paradise.

 The Koran - History for Kids!
The Koran is the holy book of the religion of Islam, as the Bible is for Christians and the Torah is for Jews.
For Islamic believers, memorizing many verses from the Koran is a way of honoring God, or Allah.
It was written in Arabic, a little bit after the death of Mohammed in 632 AD.

 Quotes on Islam
My idea is that the Koran is a kind of cocktail of texts that were not all understood even at the time of Muhammad.
And the question of the origin of the Koran is no longer "from Allah?" or "from Muhammad?" but rather "from Muhammad?" or "from countless unnamed Hagarene jurists?"...
And it becomes equally evident that the line between the Koran and the hadith must be erased, for both alike are now seen to be repositories of sayings fictively attributed to the Prophet and transmitted by word of mouth before being codified in canonical written form.

 The Koran vs Genesis
The Koran denies that God is Triune (Father, Son and Holy Spirit).
However, the differences between the Koran and the Bible are massive, beginning with the foundational history in Genesis, upon which the Gospel is squarely based.

 The Falsity of Islam and the Moslem/Muslim Koran
The Koran gives the impression that Jehovah of the Bible and Allah of the Koran are one and the same, that "Allah" is simply another name for "Jehovah".
It is important to be aware of a significant difference between verse numbers in the Bible and verse numbers in the Koran: Verse numbers in the Bible are fixed, i.e., no matter which translation you use, the verse numbers are in the same place.
The Koran claims that God participated in a fraud or delusion on the witnesses.

His suggestion makes intuitive sense, given that the terrorists themselves say they are acting on the basis of the holy scripture of Islam.
Instead of the Koran, I urge anyone wanting to study militant Islam and the violence it inspires to understand such phenomena as the Wahhabi movement, the Khomeini revolution, and Al-Qaeda.
The Koran was the same text then as now.

 Koran
It is my opinion that the only Muslims a non-Muslim can believe about anything are the fundamentalist Muslims who openly admit that Islam is a warrior religion and that they are required to destroy all non-Muslims.
But even they were very careful to tone the militant talk down from what the Koran really says and is preached by the orthodox or fundamentalist Muslims.
In summary, Al-taqiyya and dissimulation mean that no non-Muslim can believe anything told to them by any Muslim especially if it has to do with the Koran's perpetual Jihad against all non-Muslims.

Therefore, according to the Koran, no-one should believe in it because of the following statement: "Have nothing to do with those who have split up their religion into sects" (6:158).
There are very few passages in the Koran that make any mention of war, and far more passages that assert that one should leave judgment to God.
Therefore, according to the Koran, it seems that no-one should have anything to do with Islam.

 Suicide, Martyrdom, and the Rules of War in the Koran
On the question of rules of war, the Koran is quite clear: war itself is wholly understandable and acceptable (the first Moslems had to fight to maintain their faith), but must be conducted according to strict rules.
Some effort is made to discuss the connections between Islam and the other Abrahamic religions, Christianity and Judaism.

(2) The second thing I noticed is that the verse in the Koran that is being used is actually a paraphrase of the Hebrew Bible (Ps 90:4) and the New Testament (2 Pe 3:8), and is thus not unique to the Koran at all.
The verse that is so interpreted (32:5) only repeats that god is almighty and a day to him is a thousand years.
