I spoke in a previous post about what the ayat al-hor al-ayin raises from the masculine suspicions of the Qur'an. Now I follow the answer to the question: How do I treat a Muslim with verses that seem to me unconvincing?

The Quran is not an ordinary book:

The Koran is the only book that begins with a shaky report: " That book is without doubt Huda for the righteous" ! An ad no author dares to mention in the introduction to his book, a declaration that recognizes that the book is full of no-fault, while books usually begin with the author's pre-apology. However, we still Muslims sometimes deal with the Koran as if it was a normal book, we read with the eye of the critic and stand for every word do not like to ask questions! This situation is not confined to women's issues, but also to all the provisions of the Koran that we think does not fit our time or contradicts what we believe is right!

This preconceived position of the Qur'an as a critical book seems to be understood by a non-Muslim, but it turns into a bad literature with God if it was issued by a Muslim believer who claims to be from the nation of Muhammad, yet many of us have fallen into this error and have doubts about some of the verses that Posed as a pretext to attack Islam, how can we deal with it?

How do we read the Koran as God wants us to read it?

So that we know how to deal with the Koran we have to read as the Almighty wants us to read, where the verses of the Koran in five categories:

1 - The verses of the argument: where the Almighty speaks about his creation of the heavens and the earth and the sea and stars and other cosmic phenomena and address all the people with their believers and infidels, these verses often begin as a direct dialogue or questions critical of the human urging him to think and the realization of his mind in the arguments contained therein and ends with sentences Report that those who believe will be the wise men of the kennels!

Here only, in these verses only we are ordered to work the mind and pursue doubts and ask questions, because the Koran here provokes the mind and challenge it and ask him to trial explicitly and without ambiguity. We, as believers, know that access to the authenticity of the Qur'an as a book from God is the end of the path of the realization of reason in this miracle. If, as a believer, you reach this conclusion, you can now turn to reading the other verses with a different eye, with the Muslim believer, not with the skeptical critic, Has confirmed the validity of the Koran and thus became faith in everything that comes from the other verses result logical and natural later.

2 - verses of stories: the second category that must be read with that eye Muslim to take the lesson from the stories of the first two.

3 - The verses of the unseen: which address the faithful exclusively and tell them in the unseen of angels and Jin and another day and prepare them with the best punishment and warn the infidels punishment. Although all these verses in the unseen absolute but we as believers do not find it seemed to believe because we have reached the authenticity of the source as a whole according to our first mental trial.

4 - verses similar: The Almighty said: the verses of arbitrators are the mother of the book and another similar, either those who are in their hearts disease follow what is similar to him in order to sedition and seek interpretation. That is, we are expressly commanded not to research these verses from the author of the book itself, so we keep silent about them and say as he commanded us: "Believe in Him by all of our Lord."

5 - Verses of judgments: which many of us fall in error when dealing with them, has been dedicated by God to believers only, those who read the arguments of the Koran and miracles and then handed over that of their Creator. They are verses that start with "O ye who believe!" And come in the context of a direct speech to the believers who say, "Listen and obey without question, without defilement and without doubt!" It is literature with any book to read according to the instructions of the author himself, but many Muslims jump in their mental trials immediately verses of the provisions to seek evidence of the validity of Islam, what convinces them and what does not convince them, while ignoring the reflection of the verses that explicitly called to think. Many seek the wisdom of God in the legislation of Hajj or resent the provisions of retribution or polygamy or jihad, although their duty as believers is the full recognition required by the recognition of the validity of the Koran at first.

What makes the verses of judgments unfit for mental trial?

Let us say that we all made this mistake one day, and some women stand at the verses related to their affairs poets sometimes injustice, and the suspicion creeps into their hearts because they see these verses are incompatible with what is promoted as right, but there are two fundamental differences make verses verses contrary to the verses of argument For the final mental trial:

1 - While the speech in the verses of the argument directed to the individual himself, his mind and logical thinking to be all of the Sunan cosmic argument, the speech in the verses of judgments directed not only to the individual but as part of human system, as a concept, Ages, places and times. I am wrong when I think that the judgment that is mentioned in the verse of the Fallujah concerns me as one individual, and I must measure it on my own! Rulings such as inheritance and cutting off the road and the prohibition of alcohol does not have to fit with me as an individual living in a specific time and place to be my feelings, my thinking and my taste, what I accept and what I do not accept, but verses that fit with the concept of the universal human being, man of all time and place whatever the circumstances and changes of his life, Regardless of my mental convictions related to my current situation, so I can not remove from the Koran what does not suit me as an individual now and here, but must briefly around the personal factor in this trial.

Muslims are alarmed by their sense of defeat in the face of any accusation by another culture of their religion, even though the ideals of these cultures blatantly contradict their reality

2. The other factor that must be given is the mental factor itself. Unlike the verses of argument, the verses of judgments are not directed only to the human mind but to man as a whole in all his mental, poetic, and instinctive manifestations. The mind works in the fixed and measurable things that are not different among humans. The life affairs organized by the verses of judgments are not mentally measurable and are not agreed upon at any time and place, as evidenced by the multiplicity of the laws of reality because the measures of error and correctness vary according to human cultures and their cognitive accumulation. The Quran is the utterance of the Creator, the Creator, in every matter that the mind can not resolve. The changing mind, with its moral, scientific, and philosophical constants according to the facts of the time in which it lives, but between two brothers in the same family, can not be a reference for judging irrefutable things.

The mind changes but the human nature is fixed. The feelings of love, hatred, fear, anger, fatherhood and all the other innate things that affect the strongest influence in behavior have not changed since the beginning of creation. The Stone Age man loves, hates, fears and feels towards his children in the same way that civilized man now feels. The mystery of the goodness of judgments for all time and place, because it concerns the nature of human beings themselves, their souls and emotions and instincts fixed that can not be changed no matter how the adoption of the mind of ideas contrary to it, and so when the mind failed us often instinctively understanding what our minds could not understand.

What do I do to face questioning the Koran?

Muslims are horrified by their sense of defeat in the face of any accusation by another culture of their religion, even though the ideals of these cultures blatantly contradict their reality. Those who reject polygamy should criminalize sexual immorality, and those who condemn the "cruel" punishments must refrain from manufacturing and exporting deadly weapons, and those who regard the prohibition of alcohol as violating freedoms should pay attention to the destructive health and societal effects. Is directed to us only as believers and that it does not matter and God did not address him, and if he wanted to criticize the Koran to him first to face the verses that challenge him as a believer and to refute the arguments if he could. Another important thing to confront these people is to confront the Muslims themselves, who exploit the verses of the Holy Book to create a hostile discourse towards women, for example, about misunderstanding or following a hue, which breaks society and entices Muslims about religion, thereby harming Islam, which they believe from its own outspoken enemies.
