Sorry this message is abit long it’s tough to TL;DR this but we need to state a few facts and definitions:
Quran - Orally Transmitted - Literal word of God (The Creator, Allah, Allah linguistically means The God, in Arabic Al meaning The making it a definite, and iLah, meaning God). This was then later at the time of the prophet scribed onto parchments to create the holy book the Quran.
Muhammad (PBUH) - The final prophet and messenger of god (PBUH means peace and blessings be upon him)
Muslim - Someone who submits to god - an Arabic word, therefore linguistically Jesus (PBUH) a prophet in Islam and Moses (PBUH) in Islam were Muslim by definition, in the fact they submitted their will to god.
Hadith - Teachings of how the prophet lived and what his taught us.
—— My reasoning of my belief:
For me, I’ve been pushed away from Islam a lot when I was young, I should be a disbeliever (a kafir, linguistically in Arabic this means someone who hides something, for example a Farmer linguistically can be called a Kafir because he hides seeds in the ground to grow, but in this case described for someone who hides from the truth or disbelieves in the revelations), I would go to the extent I was a Kafir. I looked into religion as a whole, I even have a King James Bible at home. For me Islam is the truth because of the fact there is preservation. Also in other scriptures it points to how Muslims behave for example the way we pray. It makes sense to me and provides law, economics, structure to humanity and a way of life which I can’t see anywhere else that provides better solutions. Islam is a preventative command rather than reactive.
Furthermore, there are sciences in Islam, so from the time of the prophet Muhammad (PBUH), when the Quran was revealed orally, it was memorised and then written and authenticated during his lifetime. This is the same text we recite now which has been unchanged. I have a Quran from the first 100 years of the inception of Islam which is 98% complete (original is in a museum in Cairo, Egypt). This is exactly the same as what we recite.
I was asked by a colleague at work in the past why do I follow Islam rather than anything else; and it all comes down to the fact there are revelations which no one would have known at that time, there is many things coming true right now (that’s another reason I’m a believer in bitcoin by the way, I can explain that further if required this message is already becoming too long lol), and the fact it’s been preserved. Also there is a lot of history in the Quran. It’s been detailed in addition to this, a science called Hadiths (teachings of the prophet (PBUH)) which has been evidenced more than any text in the world has been.
This is difficult to summarize as there’s just so much information that it makes you get into a rabbit hole where you won’t stop reading.
Best way to learn imo is Q&As. Any questions you have seek the answer to it.
Any questions you have if I have knowledge of it I’m happy to answer if I don’t I’ll seek it for you. Win win for both in learning is how I see it.
