It was my understanding that Muslims are not supposed to put effort into converting. Rather, they're supposed to make Islam look good through their own example and encourage people to do whatever they wish with their own lies. This has brought me closer to it.

I would say, take her to your Mosque or place of worship, let her meet the people in your faith. Muslims have been the friendliest people I've ever met, and they all wow me with how cordial they are. She will notice this. Rather than relying on the holy text, which might work, you could influence her by showing just how calm and sane and rational all the mosque-goers are, what a tight-knit family of all countries it is.

God may will you to push for conversion, though I would advise understanding if God did not intend for you to succeed.

Faith is a very delicate matter, and in matters of conversion it's unlikely that one would suddenly see the revealed truths of Islam and adopt the practice of it. At best an attempt at conversion will boil down to your emphasis on works of scripture which you will hold to be true and handed down by God, which your friend, due to her faith, may not hold to be true. You would quickly reach an impasse.

Another anon mentioned conversion through good example. I think this makes the most sense. In my experience and study of Islam I have never felt motivated to agree on the particular metaphysical claims, but I have gained more respect for Muslims as a whole. The same can be said (mostly) for my experience with Muslims in my own community; the vast majority have been magnanimous and gracious. If you attempt a conversion by example, in the worse case you would have exhibited virtuous conduct, and made the world a better place for Muslims in the process. If you succeed, then you would have completed the goal you started with in the first place.

Anyway, good luck I suppose; as I said before, God will see to it whatever should be will be.

What is to be gained from islam over Christianity? It's hardcore about submission before god but that's the only main pillar of ideology my limited understanding can pick out. Christianity on the other hand has a real fleshed out and diverse belief system and there is a lot to be learned and explored. Islam seems more quick to command god's will than to think about ones place in the world.

You should learn more about Islam firstly. Making a statement that Islam is all about submission so it's shit is like saying Christianity is all about love so it's good, this is the ignorant assumptions of children. Islam has had hundreds of years of internal theological and philsohical debate, it has many different sects pursuing different spiritual goals beyond simply obeying divine law (Following god's will in islam is basically a given for everyone outside of esoteric sects so to define the entire thing merely on this and to recognize the immense differences in practices between different groups and their goals is alone evidence that there is more to islam than submission) chiefly Sufi.
I suggest the history of philosophy podcast as he covers the middle ages, which includes Islam's high points, not only this but he compares all of it to it's context with other places and with past philosophers and thinkers. And read some Rumi while you're at it.

Did anyone check this verse? It's a mistranslation.

"The believers are but brothers, so make settlement between your brothers. And fear Allah that you may receive mercy."

Believers only applies to Muslims, not non-Muslims.

I've been thinking lately: It's pretty unfortunate that Muslims have access to modern weaponry but have not had the benefit of having gone through a secular enlightenment in the way that western civilization did. The result is that Muslim culture is violent, archaic and ignorant, but equipped with more destructive technology than what western civilizations had when they were still in the religious and moral dark ages.

I spent 4 years learning Arabic myself. I don't see much difference between the Qur'an before and after. It's still pretty boring at times, and not-entirely-sensical. Although there are some deep verses which could be understood in English anyway. You don't get that much more out of it by reading it in Arabic. And yes, I am a Muslim. I am just being honest.

The Qur'an being so eloquent that it must be from God is just a dogma in the end. Muslim scholars say that we must believe in it, so the masses just accept their judgment and parrot what they hear. But it is just a dogma. Religious truths are revealed, meaning they cannot be proven and are beyond rationality, not necessarily against rationality. That's why you 'believe' in them instead of 'know' them. Muslims just feel motivated by their faith to get others to accept it, because of their zeal for it. So they come up with these proofs like Qur'anic eloquence and the scientific miracles in the Qur'an. These are well meaning attempts but don't stand up to scrutiny, because in the end it is about faith. Which is only from God.

فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يُضِلُّ مَن يَشَاءُ وَيَهْدِي مَن يَشَاءُ

{For indeed, Allah sends astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills}

It is not about proof. If God wants you to believe in Islam then you will, without proof. And if he doesn't then no proof will be adequate.

It's quite disappointing to see this attitude on /lit/ to be honest. I expect it on /b/, but /lit/? The Quran is one of the most sublime books ever written, perhaps the most sublime. Admired and revered by European greats such as Goethe and Napoleon. It's sad to see you drop to the level of lowly Islamophobics bordering on Neo-Nazis on a board that is supposed to be intellectual. Please study Islam and learn from it before you open your mouths because this is pure hubris.

“Consider the Koran, for example; this wretched book was sufficient to start a world-religion, to satisfy the metaphysical needs of countless millions for twelve hundred years, to become the basis of their morality and of a remarkable contempt for death, and also to inspire them to bloody wars and the most extensive conquests. Much may be lost in translation, but I have not been able to discover in it one single idea of value.”

Islam doesn't stand up for intellectual inquiry and that is why their societys are so backward. Christianity managed to adapt with nations that travelled to the moon and invented the Internet.

Spotted the entry level fags who "got over their prejudices" but still have no better idea of what they're talking about than the people they believe oppose them. Islam rather explicitly criticizes other religions, it is one of the most striking and defining characteristics of the Quran. That it directly references other religions by name even and offers criticisms to them, even more striking is that these verses were recorded (Allegedly) in real time so these arguments you see are, if you give credence to the oral tradition of the Quran, exactly or ear exactly what Muhammad had said in response to someone else while in conversation with them or what he had declared at some random time. By shying away from what the book really is you yourself discredit it, because you recognize that it is in fact something bad and it needs your editing and interpretation to be acceptable to others when you tell them about it.

>>6535463
There technically was a great economic boom as they controlled the Silk road and had conquered tons of land, and this consequently allowed lots of extravagant spending and the funding of scholars and other people, so yes it was a "golden age" in relation to the rest of Islamic history.
