What role does the Quran play in our lives?

I guess the Quran is an argument against disbelief and falsehood. But we take from it according to our merit, I guess. I am looking for a more general discussion, brother.

That's an interesting point, that the Quran is sort of "supplemental," if we may use the word. And I guess I agree with it. I think it can lead to guidance or misguidance, it can lead to both, depending upon what we believe or want to believe.

Another point that interests me is what is 'disbelief'? What about miracles? Are those who reject miracles believers? Maybe we can have a nice discussion on this, buddy.

There are so many points that I was thinking about when I started this thread. What about those who reject verses 9:128-129?

And what do they opine about us who do accept those two verses?

Likewise, the disagreement over the understanding of a word or a verse.

Or about the understanding of several verses together. What if somebody sincerely misunderstands what the Quran is saying -- is it possible that somebody can sincerely misunderstand?

Would these misunderstandings impair our claimed belief in the Quran?

These are the issues that revolve around the Quran; what would have been different were it that the Quran had not been revealed?

I have seen many Sunnis and Shiites refer to certain verses to support at least a part of their claims. If their claim is wrong or unfounded, are they to be damned for it? If a particular claim is a falsehood, then would only the person or persons who first espoused it be held guilty or everybody who believed that claim?

Would it be disbelief or merely a misunderstanding (due to wrong information) on their part?

In some ways it reminds me of the 'joke' about the Eskimo and the priest, though I am not saying it is a parallel, and that takes me to what I said earlier about the possibility of both guidance and misguidance, depending on where you want to get off.

These are some of the points I was thinking about when I asked about the role the Quran plays in our lives. I would have liked to have read what others have to say on the matter, but looks like I have run out of time and won't be around here any longer. So long, folks. Take care.

Take care
