I read a lot of young adult fiction, organized crime fiction, and historical fiction. I don't mind fantasy books like Harry Potter or science fiction like the Gone series, I also enjoy the occasional romance novel

I haven't read an entire book or novel in years and really should but I used to read anything if it had to do with the supernatural. wave

In truth. ..

With a handle like GrumpyWriter, its to be expected that I read. I have close to two hundred books at home. I read most things except biographies, but my favourite genres would be fantasy and science fiction and I enjoy the occasional detective novel too.

As a writer, I also have a collection of children's novels of which my favourite by far is Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I have a 1908 copy of Alice which travels with me everywhere. Unfortunately, it is starting to die a slow death.

As older age starts to hit, I find that I read ebooks more. The ability to increase the font size helps my eyes. The consequences of an accident when I was four...

I read books on weight training and hand-to-hand combat so my children may read romance and fantasy.

At first Mohammed seems fixated on making people believe the Quran is an Arabic translation of the Old Testament, which I don't believe.

He even tells us to ask a Jew if they sound alike.


After awhile, he sounds like this...

Surah 48:17. No blame is there on the blind, nor is there blame on the lame, nor on one ill [if he joins not the war]: But he that obeys Allah and his Messenger,- will admit him to Gardens beneath which rivers flow; and he who turns back, will punish him with a grievous Penalty.

What is the Quran?
Miracle of Allah and Final Testament to Humankind



“The Quran: literally, ‘that which is often recited.’ A web of rhythm and meaning, the words of which throb through Muslim worship and which, at every point in the believer’s life , break surface, sanctifying existence with the scent of eternity.” [Abdul Wadod Shalabi in “Islam – Religion of Life”]

The Quran represents the fountainhead of Divine guidance for every Muslim. Its revelation to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his practical implementation of the revelation, completed God’s blessing for humanity, in providing us with a belief and value system that is valid for all times.

The Quran confirms the revelations given to earlier Prophets, though these might not be accessible to us, in the form they were originally revealed. The most sublime language and a rational message that directly appeals to the human heart have caused this Divine book to move nations and civilizations. It will continue to guide those who turn to God with a sincere heart, for all times.

Feel free to explore the Quran online or to order a free hard-copy of the translation.
