Chapter 9 Documents

Reflecting on the question “what it would be like to follow the Quran and reading Chapter 9 documents there are things I was surprised to read. I agree with the Quran’s understanding of Allah and how it resembles Christian ideas about God. There is only one God.  I like how the Quran focuses heavily on charity and giving to the poor and less fortunate. I think this is something that people need to be more aware of, especially now during the holiday season.

I was not happy to read about the subject of gender, which said that God gave men more strength then the other, I have to disagree with that, I believe that either gender can obtain more strength than the other. Another statement was that if women and disloyal that they should be beaten lightly (EXCUSE ME!)… This part really pissed me off because there should be no rule or regulation that a women or any person should be treated with violence, I was surprised to read that the Quran would even state that in the first place. The Quran had its ups and down with me as I read it but looking back in my opinion, as a woman, I would not be happy about following the Quran.
