Thank you for the good wishes, thank you also for affirming what I believe, but be not surprised: Not just the Quran but many other things defy the fact that only human hands or brains made them or created them, to quote you " it's impossible for Quran to be written by a human" many other things in this material world of ours are just as mystifying. By the way thank you for suggesting I "read" the Quran, you are a little late, none the less I thank you. Let me quote you, from your Quran: "It is clear in the Quran that human beings will be resurrected in the Day of Judgment, the term return means the resurrection in the Day of Judgment, this resurrection will only take place once and there will be no return to the world after" If you yourself read other texts other than the Quran. You are going to be happily surprised to find that all you need to do is change the word Quran in that sentence and you will find that they present and identical philosophy. Of resurrection and a waiting for the coming of "The creator" who will resurrect the MAIN core/soul and judge according to all their works , souls who will then live in glory with the creator or who will suffer in the penitence of an eternal hell. (Therefore as per your theory those holy words/books are also NOT written by humans). Basically in Holy texts or beliefs of ALL religions there are more similarities than disagreements. So you see reading texts, is not my issue nor hearing their interpretations by people who think they know it all, mine are other questions that get round about answers :like "your faith is weak, if it was strong you would have no questions, my interpretation of that is: NO you have not brainwashed me completely therefore I still have individual thoughts and questions you have no answer for, nor even from your manuals....
However you did not answer my question, what does your Quran say about;
How a small child can recognize/understand/speak ancient dialects/languages or can describe events that happened long ago, with exactitude of detail. When they have never nor their parents or lineage of relatives has ever been exposed to the same? How does that same young child fix a problem when confronted by a life issue and they describe how to fi it with exactitude based on prior experience yet it never happened to them in this life? How does a 5 year old who has never learned or even touched a musical instrument (parents are not super educated) pick it up and play with the mastery of a virtuoso? (NOT ME).
I thank you for the chance to chat it is usually rare in these forums of one liners and earth chattering discussions about naming a baby...
I will delete my previous comments of personal belief, I apologize for that but "cardinal" rules are made for a reason and braking them is as positive as casting pearls before swine...
I would first like to begin with the Islamic concept of Fitrah and then proceed.
Allah says that each child that is born..is born with an innate ability to belive in one God.Ask yourself if no one ever told you what to believe then what would have been your faith(suppose you were born in an island) I would like you to read on Kapauku Tribe..they were discovered in 1920sand their way of worship was very similar to Islam(worshiping one God, with no image made of God) Similarly the Aborginal Australians had similar beliefs
(There has also been a study in Oxford University by the Psychology of Religion where children had their own natural religion with 1 God),
Since you say you have read the Quran, then you might also know that God constantly asks us why don't we use our intellect? Why don't we use our internal disposition when it comes to things related to God.. Regardless of many Muslims and followers of other theistic religions choose to follow their faith blindly, Islam on the contrary focuses a lot on thinking and educating(Part of the reason that once upon a time , Muslims were the pioneer of all major scientific inventions). Unfortunately with all our current religious organizations are more concerned into rituals then actual theology.
Now I am very much aware that in almost all religions , there is a concept of Heaven and Hell, The Great Flood, Resurrection etc.. Again it's written in the Quran that Allah since time and time again had sent Messengers across all nations and communities along with a revelation. And all the books had the same core message, Worship One God, stay away from false idols, heaven and hell etc.. And over time these scriptures were corrupted by people who wanted to guard their selfish motives. This is one of the major reasons why Islam spread like wildfire. For eg:People in Somalia had no problem in accepting Islam as in their old scriptures there was already written to worship One God and a messenger will come, (there are countless examples)
I find it strange that the similarities of all Religions are concluded that no religion is true, it's like if JK Rowling was to come with a sequel of HP, wouldn't there be a similarity in writing? The answer is Yes, Why? Because it's the SAME AUTHOR
Why I said that Quran could not have been written by a human is Prophet Muhammad was an illiterate, there was no concept of Prophethood in Arab and the literature of Quran is elite and experts from the Quraish tribe(in Makkah) as well as non Muslims have come to this deduction.. Non arabs usually are not able to appreciate the beauty of the Quran as much. Like How on earth did an illiterate man knew that the Sun doesnt revolve around the earth? (There are many more evidences all backed my both Muslims and non Muslim)
Now coming to your last Question didn't I already explained in my previous post.. Let me elaborate more, Every human once born has a Shaitan appointed who are with us till the day we die, It's very normal for them to pass info to people who practice tarot etc. Similarly these same jinns can easily possess humans(I thought you read the Quran) Hence the cases of reincarnation. Not gonna elaborate in this topic because nothing fruitful comes even if you believe.
The problem with us humans is we want God himself would come down to Earth, in fact Allah says that people whose heart are filled with deviation were to see Heaven and Hell themselves then they would say that we were only dreaming, We have come up with elaborate theories about how humans were created by aliens.. We have staunch believers of Scientology but people have difficulty in believing in the existence Of God. In my opinion it's pure arrogance of the heart, we are so blinded by our desires that we refuse to acknowledge what is evident.
Hey lovely chatting with you too, since you are into philosophy as well I recommend you to check out the channel Rational Believer, the channel explains in a logical manner about why people believe that Islam is the truth. Also check out Mohammed Hijab, Dr Jeffrey Lang, he is Professor at Uni of Kansas who accepted Islam and explains the whole purpose of human life on this earth fantastically
