Islam, Muslims and The Quran have become a
subject of major concern to the world media,
religious groups and people, especially after
the events of September 11th 2001 in the USA.
Many articles and books have been written about
a religion followed by over one billion people
worldwide. However, many of these writings
continued to perpetuate misinformation and
repeat the same common misconceptions, thus
giving a distorted picture of what islam is
about, and what The Quran actually says.
For those interested in sincerely seeking the
truth, we have prepared an easy to read and
verify list using the book that Muslims regard
as a divine guidance and final revelation to
humanity: The Quran (sometimes referred to as
'The Koran'). We chose this approach because it
is the only undisputed source amongst
Muslims and it is important for the reader
to be able to research and verify what is
written and The Quran is a book that is widely
available in many countries and in many
different languages.
To read the response to the most common
misconceptions, simply click on a misconception
picture shown below. If a number reference is
given, e.g. 17:36, this refers to Chapter 17,
Verse 36 of The Quran, which can be looked up here for
example.
