While researching my previous article, I wasn’t sure about the English spelling of “Koran.” In the process of looking that up, I came across this quote from a Koran-believing Muslim:
“Quran, Qura'an, Koran are all used in English to spell a word in Arabic, it is just that the Arabic is the language of Quran in which God choose to send his last messenger with. The name should not be a reason for quarells...it is not the name of the book that matters, but it is the content.”
While his own spelling did not inspire confidence that his information was accurate, he did make me realize that I had never subjected the Koran – however spelled – to any sort of objective scrutiny.
