What was the Standing Miracle?
- The Koran is the most memorized book and exerts the most influence on people
- It is considered the standing miracle because Muhammad said it is a miracle that such an amazing book was created in their language.
- The created Koran is said to be the miracle of the uncreated Koran
- The words of the Koran came to Muhammad over twenty three years by voices that condensed into a single voice
- Arabic word is powerful which is why the Koran is more powerful to Arabs
What are the basic Theological Concepts?
- Basically the same as Judaism and Christianity
- Four most important concepts are: God, Creation, the Human Self, and the Day of Judgement.
- The Koran wants to remove idols and focus the divine in a single invisible God for everyone.
- The world was created by a deliberate act of Allah's will
- Creation of the human self is third most important and surrendering is very important
- To be a slave to Allah is to be free from other slavery
- Judgement offers a chance for the "losers" a chance to return to life for even a single day to make good use of their opportunities.
