Hallo all,

My views are:


A few more issues on the Quran - so to use in the quiet evenings at the 
"pseudo-LCC group".
:-)



Sura 24:35

35 Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The similitude of His 
light is as a niche wherein is a lamp. The lamp is in a glass. The glass is 
as it were a shining star. (This lamp is) kindled from a blessed tree, an 
olive neither of the East nor of the West, whose oil would almost glow forth 
(of itself) though no fire touched it. Light upon light. Allah guideth unto 
His light whom He will. And Allah speaketh to mankind in allegories, for 
Allah is Knower of all things.

Sura 2:28-29

28 How disbelieve ye in Allah when ye were dead and He gave life to you! 
Then He will give you death, then life again, and then unto Him ye will 
return.

29 He it is Who created for you all that is in the earth. Then turned He to 
the heaven, and fashioned it as seven heavens. And He is knower of all 
things.

Sura 50:6

6 But we created man, and we know what his soul whispers; for we are nigher 
to him than his jugular vein!
(Version: Palmer)
http://www.sacred-texts.com/isl/htq/index.htm



Sura 56:77-80
77 That (this) is indeed a noble "Qur'an"

78 In a Book kept hidden

79 Which none toucheth save the purified,

80 A revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.

( I did add the citation-, marks to the word Quran - because some authors - 
among them - Dara Shikoh (eller Shukuh) ca. 1615-59 - considered this word 
at this particular place to be the same as the Upanishads or Vedas. The word 
Quran had a different meaning back in the oled days. It is wellknown that 
Mohammad was part of a Sufi Circle, although the ignorants who can't read 
the Akasha think different.)
