listen to the QURAN

[Riverwolf]

Assalamu alaikum brother

I just want to say that even if the non-Muslims here said that they weren't touched by listening to the recitation of the holy Qur'an, it wouldn't give the story of that Muslim less credibility. It is not a proof that his story is not true!

Welcome to RF

I, personally, love the sound of Vedic recitation, but I think my girlfriend finds it boring.

It's all opinion. :yes:

 

[elisheba]

Maybe he thought that by listening to a sincere person reading a poetic Arabic version of the Bible ( which the Quran is ) in a semitic language would soften the rudeness at least in the subconscious if not the conscious.

???

Do you think that you can graduate us to hinduism first, and then bait and switch us to islam?

Seriously, how many of these ridiculous videos are you going to post? What did you expect was going to happen? That a youtube video would make us drop to our knees and beg for forgiveness?

We are atheists. That's a load of ungulate scat to us. Accept it.

Man just give your self a break no one forced you to watch it, this video was a response to this guy's question so you don't have to get all mad about some videos i posted

Welcome to RF

THANK YOU that made me feel a lot better

Perhaps, but I think it would be more accurate to say that it's all about the listener's heart, not everyone would be emotionaly moved by listening to the Qur'an. There are Arabs (Muslims and non- Muslims) who understand Arabic very well, but they aren't touched by the Qur'an, because they don't purify their hearts from its diseases. In the same time there are non-Arabs, and non-Muslims who are touched by Qur'an because their hearts are pure.

And there are people who are not "pure" who get touched by it and "pure" people who are not. People exist in all forms, after all... and it also depends on what you mean by "pure". Personally, I am sure the Quran has qualities. Have never read it, not that interested in the topic to be honest.

I'm not sure what I was listening to. What was it we were supposed to listen out for? Did you intend for us to understand the language, or that sound of his voice alone would instantly convert us?

I prefer Latin.

In theory, you would be listening to God's message to man, in God's preferred language. The point being, that if you are not moved by it, that shows that there is something wrong with you, as any "right thinking" person should be stunned by the inherent beauty.

Well, that's that, then.

 

[YmirGF]

Well, that's that, then.

Indeed. The point is that if one is not moved it is because of the alleged impurities in ones heart. People who are not given to intellectual dishonesty ought to be able to discern how incredibly vacuous such thinking is of course.

In the same time there are non-Arabs, and non-Muslims who are touched by Qur'an because their hearts are pure.

But the point, Sajdah, is thinking about what we listen. I believe comprehending what the Qur'an says and then being touched by it should be much more wonderful than being touched by the melody of the recitation without understanding of what is being recited.
"Do they not then earnestly seek to understand the Qur'an, or are their hearts locked up by them?" Qur'an
The Qur'an said "understand" not listening without understanding.

Of course, I don't deny that listening to the Qur'an recitation has its sweetness and beauty and that it catches the hearts but the beautiful recitation aims to enhance the heart's attention, reception and reflection on the recited Qur'an.

What does being "pure" (which I define as childlike and innocent; i.e., Goku :yes have to do with anything?

We don't disagree, of course comprehension is the most important factor in feeling the beauty of the Qur'an.

Of course, I don't deny that listening to the Qur'an recitation has its sweetness and beauty and that it catches the hearts but the beautiful recitation aims to enhance the heart's attention, reception and reflection on the recited Qur'an.

So you agree that even without the understanding factor people would be touched by it?

If you are not interested in reading the Qur'an, may I know why are you participating in a thread about it?

I guess this is not the Islamic DIR.

 

[Sajdah]

LOL, I didn't know that non-Muslims should read the Qur'an before posting questions in the Islam DIR!

I'm saying if people really don't know what the Qur'an is all about, why are they giving us their opinions on something they don't know, and are not willing to know?!!!!!!

Hehe...You told that those dont like to hear the Quran recitation ,are not "pure minded"..I think this was generalisation(Because We do not for sure that the person is evil minded) for which Friend Kerr responded.Also,that recitation does not even contain translation.


BTW..Did you watch the video which I posted?...

No, not all people who are not touched without understanding are evil, I didn't say that..And I agree with Kerr that not all people are the same....There are some who would be closer to the truth by listening to one verse, and there are some who need more evidences, and more investigations in their journey to the truth!

BTW..Did you watch the video which I posted?...

No, I didn't!

My interest in religion lay on a philosophical level, just as I can find other cultures interesting. The reason I participate is mostly that reason and because I happen to like to discuss things.
