Nidal Hasan and Fort Hood: A Study in Muslim Doctrine (Part 2)
“In response to your post #39, concerning the verves of the Koran (if you had read the Koran you would know that their called suwar”
The Qu’ran contains 114 suras (what we would call chapters) each of which has numerous verses.
For example, the Sura, Fatehah, contains seven verses…
1. In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
2. All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
3. The Beneficent, the Merciful.
4. Master of the Day of Judgment.
5. Thee do we serve and Thee do we beseech for help.
6. Keep us on the right path.
7. The path of those upon whom Thou hast bestowed favors. Not (the path) of those upon whom Thy wrath is brought down, nor of those who go astray.
“I’m curious why they think there’s 164 suwar.”
That’s not what he said. He said there are 164 verses (concerning jihad), not 164 suras.
