Hi Woodrow, it seems that you are not getting many fellow Muslims contributing to your topic.

Of course, this could be because there are not many Muslims in this forum with good enough English skills to engage in a real discussion.

On the other hand, it could be that Muslims (like fundamentalist Christians) don't like to discuss things because they would have to consider ideas that do not agree with their own. They may be good at spouting off their beliefs, but not listening to others. What do you think?

We are only on Juz 30 I don't see it as being a thread that is conducive to discussion, yet.

So far it is rather easy presentation for a very basic study of the Qur'an as to what it contains and an introduction to the vocabulary used. Juz 30 only contains short surat that are not very controversial and fairly easy to understand Most of us accept them as being literal and there is little differences in any tafsir by any scholars. Juz 30 is fairly easy to memorize and contains about 80% of the vocabulary used in the Qur'an.

I suspect that by the time we reach Juz 15 we will have plenty of discussion. the most controversial surat are 9, 5 and 2. Partially because they are long, plus often individual ayyat in them are quoted out of context and the surat are specific to a particular time and specific events.

Again I remind you all Tafsir and commentary is the opinion of a person. Use them as guides but not
the final word. Verify the truth of all men by your own searching.
