Re: Question for Muslims - how old were you when you finished the Qur'an?Don't worry, just ignore them. I wasn't surprised to see the likes of Steve and Chelseafan posting in this thread (the usual anti-Islam culprits). It's better that you're still learning and reading it, than finishing it when you're 10 and not remembering anything afterwards etc. All the best with finishing it off during Ramzan inshaAllah.(Original post by Starrstruck)
Yeah I know, everyone has different paces. Someone negged you for this post too - I don't understand why people who are against Islam would come to his thread even though it's specifically adressing Muslims.

Re: Question for Muslims - how old were you when you finished the Qur'an?Basically, My dad is very Islamic Mashallah, he has published over 10 books, he has built a mosque in Pakistan and he is well known in our family.
I didnt go to mosque but I was taught at home by my Dad and my sister, My sister would teach me throughout the week and my Dad would test me on the weekend.
My sister-in-law taught me for a short space of time as she has a degree in Islamic teachings and Arabic studies.
My brother-in-law also taught me for a short space of time which was an advantage because he is a Hafiz Quran.
I know-Confusing with a lot of past teachers!!!!!!! -

Re: Question for Muslims - how old were you when you finished the Qur'an?My boyfriends an atheist. He's 17 and has finished reading the bible (old and new testaments) and the qur'an. Unfortunately he only does it to find holes in other peoples religions so he can 'debate' with them. ie have a full blown row over how silly their beliefs are and how their prophet/saviour/whatever isn't such the perfect person that they're portrayed to be.

Re: Question for Muslims - how old were you when you finished the Qur'an?Probably. He says that he likes some of the fables and what not. He's from a Catholic family so had to read the bible when he was younger, but cos he didn't believe in any of it, as he was reading he found things that contracdicted each other or are things that are unacceptable now a days.(Original post by mirror+probe)

Re: Question for Muslims - how old were you when you finished the Qur'an?I finished it the first time when I was about 9/10 years old, in English though. I've read bits of it in Arabic but didn't see the point in reading something I can't understand. Think I've read it about 4/5 times now.

Re: Question for Muslims - how old were you when you finished the Qur'an?I'd rather read it skeptically than gloss over all the bad bits. Surely that's better?(Original post by Clare~Bear)

Re: Question for Muslims - how old were you when you finished the Qur'an?Thanks that's very kind of you. I haven't had the time to look at any english translations because I've been busy as well. Well, we've got Ramadan to do it now, thank God it's it's in the summer holidays.(Original post by TheUnderCOVER)

Re: Question for Muslims - how old were you when you finished the Qur'an?I wouldnt say Im very very religious but I do try to do my best!!!My dad has never forced us to do something or learn something but belives there has to be self input to achieve, and if he is going to tell us all our lives, what are we going to learn about our religion if we are not completely devoted to it.(Original post by Starrstruck)
That's a good thing, are you very religious then?
I have lived by a motto and when i feel i am straying a little I think of this and it motivates me......
"its as if you are going into a gold shop expecting the best when you have no money to give in return"
