These verses were a little easier for me to understand today. I hadn’t realized that Muslims believe there is a hell too.

Dear Jessica, please ignore this bad energy or hate on the comment section. Focus for what we are doing here. To learn and to understand each other. Please take a baby step. Just a reminder, quran came in 22 Years range. So there’s no such thing as rushed. And thank you.

Salaam! Wait until you get to Surah 3! Masha’Allah, as a revert from Christianity myself, I couldn’t stop the waterworks 😭 Prophet Isa (AS) aka Jesus’ story begins and is clarified, as well as other things you may be curious about as a Christian. May the Lord grant you clarity, peace and blessings along your journey! Ameen.

YusufNasir :
Qur’an 2:80–86 addresses a particular claim made by some among the Children of Israel that: “The Fire will not touch us except for a few days.” Allah challenges them: “Have you taken a covenant with Allah? For Allah never breaks His covenant. Or are you saying about Allah what you do not know?” (2:80). The passage then makes a broader principle clear: salvation cannot be based merely on belonging to a particular community or claiming a privileged status before Allah. Whoever persists in sin and is overwhelmed by wrongdoing faces the Fire, while those who believe and do righteous deeds are promised Paradise (2:81–82). Allah then reminds the Children of Israel of the covenant He had taken from them: to worship Him alone, honour parents, care for relatives, orphans and the poor, speak kindly to people, establish prayer and give zakah (2:83). Yet some violated that covenant, including by killing and expelling their own people, while selectively observing other parts of the law. Allah therefore asks, “Do you believe in part of the Scripture and reject the rest?” (2:85). The important lesson is that claiming to be chosen, religiously privileged, or guaranteed salvation does not exempt anyone from accountability before Allah. Divine favour is not a licence for disobedience, and revelation cannot be selectively followed according to one’s interests. The Qur’an is criticising the attitudes and actions of particular people among the Children of Israel, rather than declaring that every Jew is guilty of these things.

The message Jesus carried was true. He was one of the best men alive. In the Muslim tradition we don't leave him behind. We accept his humanity which elevates him because he is fallable and chose to do great things. If he were divine, we can't emulate his example. His exceptionalism would be beyond what humans can achieve. Instead of that divinity we accept his right place as a great man who submitted to God and we submit like he did.

the reason it keeps feeling familiar, is because the quran is not foreign, Allah or God is the same God of Jesus, Moses and all the prophets. It's not supposed to feel foreign.

I grew up catholic, in 2003 I started reading the Qu'ran and I've never looked back. the Qu'ran was just too beautiful and awe-inspiring not to take it seriously. glad you are reading it too.

The Muslim Explorer :
Always makes me happy to see your latest steps on this journey. For what it’s worth, I don’t think there’s any harm in the comparisons you make. As Muslims, we believe the prior scriptures were originally true but became distorted over time, so there might be an element of you feeling that here. Thank you for your honest and vulnerable reflections 🙏

God created all of us with intuition ( gut feeling ) I say don’t listen to any noises in your head sit quietly with yourself and see what your guy says and what your heart says. God created us with intuition for a reason.

Did you know the Quran corrects the bible. For example in the story of joseph the bible says Pharoah and in the quran it uses king. the title "Pharaoh" wasn't actually used for egyptian rulers until around 1550 BCE. Joseph's story is set way before that. So the Bible is using a word that didn't exist yet at the time of the story. This was only discovered around the mid 18 century.

This whole journey is your lived experience… please don’t apologise because you simply don’t have too. I’m born a Scottish Protestant, Sunday school and Church of England schools but classify myself as an atheist, I read the Quran last year and it resounded with me far more than the bible ever did. Still an atheist but reading the Quran definitely made me question everything I thought I believed, still a journey but it’s mine and at least I educated myself so a win win 👏👏🥰

user7913315939883 :
To answer your question, “What am I missing?” — as a Muslim, I would encourage you to keep one important point in mind. The Quran teaches that the Torah and the Gospel were originally revelations from God, and believing in their divine origin is part of our faith. However, it also teaches that previous scriptures were altered over time, and that the scriptures available today are not fully identical to the original revelations. The Quran is different in this regard. It explicitly states that God Himself has taken responsibility for preserving it from alteration. In Surah Al-Hijr (15:9), So Islam does not reject the Torah or the Gospel as revelations from God; rather, it believes that the Quran is the final revelation and the one God promised to preserve

flowerpower 🇨🇦 :
you reminded me about when I began my journey. I said no way will I ever convert. I grew up as a Christian... and I just couldn't deny my life was all about the teachings of Jesus. soon I learned how important Jesus is in Islam. on Easter Sunday 2004, I converted. this was important to me because I was thanking Jesus for bringing me to this point and becoming Muslim was just the best chapter. I would not have become Muslim without the teaching of Jesus.
