Is this why muslims memorize the Quran? (Comedy)
OP - March 11, 2011, 12:14 AM

Came across a video recently from a muslim,
it argued a point about muslims memorizing the Quran (unlike other religions) and used the following scenario:

If all of the worlds religions threw every piece of their scripture into the sea,
they would all be lost forever. But unlike the rest, the Quran could be restored as people
have memorized it, thus being able to re-write it.
In conclusion = Memorizing the Quran is great.

So this got me thinking...
Let's use that scenario and say that the scripture of any of them was actually true and that it truly was gods word.
It would be fair to assume that either:
a) God would bring his word back at some point
b) God wouldn't allow it to happen
Ergo, memorizing the Quran would be pointless.

HOWEVER...
Let's use the same scenario again, but this time say that the scripture was simply man made and had no godly involvement, what happens now? The scripture is lost forever..
This would make the memorizing of the scripture important....Something only done with the Quran.

Speaking of vids, do you have a link to the one you did about 'miracles' in another book?

That guy have obviously never played a game called telephone. By passing information only through word of mouth from person to person results in lost information and rephrased sentences. (Just try it with 10 people its a fact) For other religions their messages are passed on through emphasis of deeds not always memorization of text. There is a different between a student who crams for an exam memorizing everything and another student who actually understands what he has been taught.

Ergo is a massively brainy word I learned it from The Matrix

I'm open for debate (of why we should re-/embrace Islam), but I will no longer participate in this forum. Message me if you need anything. Good luck and may you all find your way... again...

So you're saying that memorizing the Quran is proof it's manmade? Hahaha good one!
