32. The Qur'an: the uncreated Book sent down from Heaven

Islam, the youngest of the world religions, developed under the strong influence of the religions of neighboring peoples - Judaism, Christianity, Zoroastrianism. Koran - from the Arabic "kuran" - literally - "reading what they read, pronounce." The Qur'an is also called the words mushaf, kitab (in Arabic "book", remember that the word Bible is also translated from Greek as "book").

The entire text of the Qur'an is a direct speech of Allah addressed to the prophet Muhammad or through the prophet to people.

For almost 20 years, Muhammad repeated everything he heard at night to his fellow tribesmen, word for word, while maintaining "direct speech".

The "broadcasting" of Allah from Heaven and the "broadcasting" of his words by the prophet to the people continued from 610 to 632, first in Mecca, then in Medina.

Islamic teaching regards the Qur'an as a "complete prophecy" and sees in this its superiority over the sacred books of the Jews and Christians. According to the Koran, Jews and Christians believe in the same God as Muslims - this is the ancient faith of the forefather of Arabs and Jews Abraham (Arabic Ibrahim), and God has already sent people his prophets and Revelation: Jews - Moses (Arabic Musa) and Torah, Christians - Jesus (Arabic Isu) and the Sermon on the Mount. However, both Jews and Christians broke the Covenant, distorted and forgot God's word, and thus became unfaithful. Then God sent them his best prophet - the "seal of the prophets" Muhammad - and through him transmitted his Testament in the most complete and complete form - the Koran.

Thus, according to Islamic doctrine, the Koran is the final word of God addressed to people, Muslims are a special people chosen by God for the last Testament, and Islam, which goes back to the ancient faith of the forefathers and at the same time contains a "completed prophecy", occupies an exceptional position. within the religions of the world.

The increased cult of Scripture in Islam was clearly manifested in the dogmatic dispute about the creation or non-creation of the Koran. According to the original and orthodox concept, the Koran was not created: it, as well as the Arabic letters, always existed, from eternity, and were kept in seventh heaven awaiting the coming of the one who would be worthy to receive the word of God. This man was Muhammad, the prophet of Allah.

Rationalist-minded opponents of the dogma denied the thesis of uncreation under the banner of defending monotheism. Assuming the eternity and uncreatedness of the Koran, they taught, is tantamount to endowing this book with the properties of God.

The dispute about the nature of the Qur'an excited wide circles of Muslims and often became so acute that it caused imprisonment, corporal punishment and even an armed rebellion. In the end, the dogma of the uncreatedness of the Koran won.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Random news from the Archive Nostalgia is good for the psyche 23.10.2016 American scientists have made a new discovery about the impact of nostalgia on human existence. As it turned out, this feeling can significantly improve life in the psychological aspect. To do this, experts conducted a study in which they interviewed several hundred people. Respondents were asked to answer questions related to moments from their past lives. At the same time, scientists focused their attention on such "markers" as familiar objects, sounds and smells that can revive memories. During the study, the experts noted that the nostalgia experienced by people contributed to strengthening relationships with other participants. According to the observations of scientists, inhaled aromas and listened to audio recordings that evoked fond memories improved the mood and general emotional background of people. According to the researchers, nostalgia also has a positive effect on creative thinking. At the same time, scientists recommended not to indulge in nostalgic experiences while shopping. Plunging into oneself, a person begins to take his spending lightly ...
