hi nisha
thank you for your question

we believe that allah/God sent prophits and massengers to the people to guide them to his way
we believe that God never left any people or any nation without raising a prophet from among themselfs

somehow , last of the prophets in this world as we believe is mohammed (pbuh) , so thet his massage is universal , not for just his people as was the previous prophets

Because it gives me the opportunity to understand a completely different culture from mine. The only problem is that I do not only need a Quran but a guide who can explain the meaning behind the scripture as you'd otherwise miss out on very important, subtle, messages. That is why It was so important to go to sunday school as a child and why it was helpful to read Bhagavad Gita while going to the krishna consciouness society meetings.

If you can describe God, your not describing the true God... If you name God with a capital "G", you're not calling him by his true name...

Sorry, Lao Tzu; you must be rolling over in your grave right now.

here is a link for the Quran (all verses)

in the left you can select the sura number and name
in the right you select any translation you like

and there is a tick to show the arabic text or to hide
and under it there is word tafsir if you click it you get more information


Read Quran Koran Qura'n القران الكريم in English by Yusuf Ali

No. God is not allah in English.

allah is the name of a false god created by mohammed. Your deity is very different from the Trinitarian God of the Bible.
