Can one touch his wife's breasts in Ramadan?
Praise be to Allaah. Yes, that is permissible. In fact it is permissible for a man to be intimate with his wife when he is fasting, so long as no intercourse or ejaculation takes place. Al-Bukhaari (1927) and Muslim (1106) narrated that 'Aa'ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to kiss and be intimate when fasting, and he was the most able of you to control his desire." Al-Sindi said: The word yubaashir (translated here as "be intimate") means touching the wife's skin and her touching him, such as putting his cheek against hers and so on. What is meant here is touching the skin, not intercourse. Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked: What is it permissible for a man who is fasting to do with his wife who is fasting? He replied: A man who is observing an obligatory fast is not permitted to do anything with his wife that will lead to ejaculation. People vary in how quickly they reach climax; some of them are slow and can control themselves completely, as 'Aa'ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said concerning the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), "he was the most able of you to control his desire." Some of them cannot control themselves and ejaculate quickly. Such a person should not be intimate with his wife and touch her or kiss her etc when observing an obligatory fast. If a person knows that he can control himself, then he can kiss and hug his wife even when observing an obligatory fast, but he must beware of intercourse because having intercourse (during the day) in Ramadaan for one who is obliged to fast results in five things: 1- It is a sin 2- The fast is invalidated 3- He should refrain from eating etc for the rest of the day. Everyone who breaks his fast in Ramadaan with no legitimate shar'i excuse has to refrain from eating etc (for the rest of the day) and also has to make up that day. 4- He has to make up that day because he forfeited an obligatory act of worship, which he has to make up. 5- He has to offer an expiation which is one of the most burdensome of expiations: freeing a slave; if he cannot do that then he must fast for two consecutive months; if he cannot do that then he must feed sixty poor persons. If it is an obligatory fast that was being observed at a time other than Ramadaan - such as making up a day missed in Ramadaan, or observing an expiatory fast etc, then breaking the fast results in two things: sin and having to make it up. But if it was a voluntary fast and he has intercourse during it, then he does not have to do anything.
Islam Q&A

Why is the Qur'an relevant today?
The holy Qur'an is the last heavenly Book and the last, final and complete guidance provided to Mankind. In its contents and commands, it is based on human nature. It is a complete code of life. It teaches Universal Human Brotherhood, justice and equality of whole human race. That is why it is relevant today, and will, In Sha Allah, remain valid till the last day.
How many words are there in the Qur'an?
There are 77,437 words in the Qur'an.
Another answer
As an estimate, I would say that there are at most 7,000 unique "words" in the Qur'an in the sense of what you would need to have a lexicon with wide-ranging coverage for the Qur'an. Something also interesting to note, is the Zipfian distribution. A handful of words (e.g., the top 100 words) will cover a very large percentage of the actual Qur'an, i.e., most verses (the 80/20 rule).
(For more information on Qur'an statistics, see the Related question.)
According to the website qurannetwork, there are 77,701 words in the Holy Qu'ran.
In Holy Quran there are 77701 words.

Where did the sacred book of islam come from?
The Qur'an was reveled to Prophet Mohammad (piece be upon him) by Allah (God) through his angel Gabriel. It was reveled over a span of 23 years in small portions as answers to questions that arise in certain situations or commenting on incidents that use to occur in the life of Prophet Mohammad (piece be upon him). Muslims believe it is the final revelation from Allah and they also believe that it is preserved in its original form word for word. Many Muslims today memorise the Qur'an by heart and have learned it by studying under the supervision of qaries who also have learned it from other qaries who came before them. They can trace these different chains of qaries, by name, all the way back to prophet Mohammad (piece be upon him) himself.
Answer 1 The Quran is written in classical Arabic. Arabic has not been a written language for long and only two examples of written pre-classical Arabic exist. Ancient Arabic has never been written.
The Semitic language family tree looks somewhat like this:
- Semitic languages
-- East-Semitic languages (Akkadian, Assyrian, Babylonian)
-- West-Semitic languages
-- - North-West-Semitic languages
-- -- Aramaic
-- -- Canaanite languages (Phoenician, Hebrew)
-- - Central-West-Semitic languages
-- -- Arabic
-- South-Semitic languages (Amharic in Ethiopa etc.)
Aramaic is very similar to Hebrew and (as far as I can tell) less similar to Arabic than Hebrew is. The Jewish Bible was written partly in Aramaic and many Jewish prayers are in Aramaic.
The last heavenly book is the holy book ofthe Muslims. Its language is Arabic.
Arabic language but without dots because they were very good at Arabic rather than now then they put the dots
It's written in Arabic.
The main Koran (Quran) language is Arabic language. It was written about 1400 years ago.
Now there is some other translated versions of it for non Arabic native speakers, like English, French, Spanish, German , Russian, Chinese, Greek, Indonesian, Turkish, and Urdu.

Where do Muslims go when they die?
They wash the dead corpse. Wrap it into special cloth. Then, perform special praying on him/her in the mosque where asking Allah (God in English and same God worshiped by Jews and Christians) to forgive him/her and dwell him/her in His paradise. They bury him/her under ground and cover him/her by dust.
Does the Qur'an dictate what Muslim women should wear?
Qur'an does dictate women to wear Hijaab. This is the order of Allaah for the women but the present world has misinterpreted it as the exploitation of the woman and confining the rights of the women which is incorrect. The advantages of Hijaab are known very well and is far better than the exposed western culture.
What is the Muslim Holy book about?
The sacred book of Islam is the God holy book Quran.
- One of the primary objectives of revelation in the Quran is to call people to worship one and only one God, without father, son, spirit, or duplicate of any kind. Also the Quran reveals that some of the previous revelations from God, including some texts of the Torah, the Psalms and the Gospels, have been changed and falsified over time, necessitating the need for a final revelation.
- The preaching sections of the Quran remind people about the coming of the Day of Judgment and then urges that this Day should be taken into consideration during one's lifetime. You are urged to be grateful to your God by doing good works. Good works are characterized by being socially relevant, that is, of benefit to society. The preaching considers a central theme that people should be conscious of God during this life and follow the direction of the way of God. The way of God is not defined by dogma but is indicated operationally in two ways. The first pertains to carrying out actions characterized only by being beneficial to the welfare of humanity (society). The second involves the means of gaining faith in God through observing His creation.
- The Qur'an stresses that all previous messengers and prophets of God are fully human and not divine.
- The Qur'an also contains teaching related to previous prophets. This teaching involves reminding Jews and Christians of some aspects of their Scriptures and traditions, and their basic deviations from God's original revelations. Among the more important teachings are ones dealing with the divinity of Jesus and the concept of Judaic exclusiveness. The Qur'an invites Jews and Christians to hear and accept the new message.
- Included in the Qur'an are statements and principles that establish the position of mankind on earth, and that provide guidance and freedom of choice. As a consequence of granting freedom of choice to mankind, religious diversity is taken for granted, so the Quran contains the principles regulating the dynamic coexistence among the various communities, faiths, and cultures.
- The Quran also deals with rituals such as praying, fasting, food restrictions, and pilgrimage.
- The Quran deals also with some aspects of social regulations like inheritance, punishment, marriage and divorce, and so on.
- The Quran also laid down the principles of human rights, women's rights, equality of all people regardless of gender, belief, race, or culture.
- One of the proofs that the holy book Quran was not written by humans or extracted from other books and that the Quran was a revelation from God to Prophet Mohamed is that the Quran includes many scientific statements that were only later proved by science. These statements are considered to be scientific miracles of the Quran; they were revealed by God 14 centuries ago and were validated in modern times. In this regard some words are quoted below by Dr. Maurice Bucaille (an eminent medical scientist and a member of the French Academy of Medicine). He is the author of the book entitled "The Bible, The Quran and Science."
"Science and Islam's close relationship with it played a tremendous role in strengthening my faith and that of scientists throughout history - even today! This is a fascinating section - do take time to explore it!"

What are the Islamic views on punishment?
In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful. = Answer = The punishments of crimes have been divided into three kinds. They are Huduud (Islamic Legal Punishment), Qisas (Even Retaliation), and Tazir (penalties). It is necessary to know that crimes, which bring harm or loss to a human being, inflict injustice not only on the created but also create disobedience to the creator. Therefore, in every crime of this nature, the Right of Allah and the Rights of the Servants are intermingled, thus, one is being punished for both of the crimes. There are some crimes for which the Holy Quran and Sunnah have not fixed any punishment, instead have left it to the discretion of the relevant authorities. This punishment is called Tazir. As for punishments of crimes already fixed by the Holy Quran and Sunnah, they are divided over two kinds. Firstly, those in which the right of Allah has been declared to be predominant and the punishment for which is known as Hadd. Secondly, those which the Right of the servant of Allah has been adapted as predominant in accordance with the Shariah of Islam for which is called Qisas. In short, we can say that the punishment of crimes after having determined it to be a right of Allah is called "Hudud", and that which it has ordained as the right of the servant is known as Qisas and crimes the punishment of which has not been determined are called Tazir. When it comes to "Hudud", no Amir or leader is permitted to make the least change, alteration, reduction or increase in it. Neither does a change in time and place affect it any manner nor does the Amir or chief executive of the government have the right to pardon it. There are only five "hudud" in the Shariah. 1. Robbery 2. Theft 3. Adultery 4. False accusation of Adultery 5. Drinking wine, this is proved on the basis of Ijmah (Consensus). The way no Amir or ruler can reduce these punishments; very similarly, even an act of repentance cannot bring about an amnesty for the criminal as far as the punishment in this world is concerned. There is an exception that is, if the robber repents before being arrested and his conduct in dealings proves his repentance to be satisfactory, only then, the Hadd (Punishment) will be dropped. Repentance after arrest or before it is not acceptable. The punishments under "Huduud" are strict. The law of their enforcement is also strict and nobody is allowed to make intercession for it. Similarly, the completion of the proof is strict. If even a single condition is found or missing, the Hadd drops. In fact even the least doubt found in the proof will cause the Hadd to be dropped. Like "Huduud", the punishment of Qisas has also been fixed in the Quran, that is life be taken for life and wounds be retaliated by even wounds. Unlike "Huduud" in Qisas the accused killer after the crime of killing has been proved legally, is handed over to the guardian of the person killed who can at his discretion take Qisas and have him killed or forgive him if he so wishes.

"Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian." -Quran 15:9
The Qur'an is present in a living language, Arabic. Over 200 million speak the Arabic language however, only 19% of the Arab world is literate. It is therefore very easy to check the contents of the original Arabic of the Qur'an. The Bible was written in ancient Hebrew, Aramaic, and Koine Greek. These are all dead languages, meaning their meaning of the text doesn't change over time- eternally preserving the original meaning.
The Qur'an has always been in the possession of the people, as there is no clergy in Islam. T
There are thousands of variants between different versions of the Qur'an, however, after the Uthmanic rescension (when the early Muslims formulated their edition of the Qur'an based on personal preference) the amount of variatns declined greatly as other Qur'ans were burnt. However, today, Muslims deny this and provide minimal footnotes in the 1923 Cairo Egyptian of the Qur'an in print today.
The preservation of the scripture of Islam -- the Holy Qur'an -- is unique among world religions. Unlike the Bible which has over 25000 manuscripts of the New Testament alone the Qur'an has few manuscripts - and no early Qur'an is dated before 160 years after the death of Muhammad. THerefore, we cannot confirm when the Qur'an was written nor do we know how poorly it reflects the words of God.
According to Sunni traditions, the earliest that the Qur'an was compiled together was 23 years after the death of the prophet. However, academics find no evidence of a Qur'an unil 160 years after the supposed death of Muhammad.
The Qur'an is a miraculous and revealed text, and that similar texts cannot be written by humans. Its miraculous nature is claimed to be evidenced primarily by its literary style. The Qur'an itself challenges any who disagree with its claimed divine origin to produce a text of the same nature.
Without adding or removing anything to/from the text of the above answer, i want to note that it is an extremely biased answer whose authors and contributors should at best, feel ashamed. They were too careless to even think about the factual accuracy of the allegations made.
As at 2009, the country with the lowest literacy levels in the world was Burkina faso with 23.8% literacy, meaning there is no country in the world with 19% literacy. Where is the Arab world with 19% literacy that you are talking about??
I should inform you that the Quran is the ONLY book in the world (of its volume) which is memorised from cover to cover and recited by Muslims in their millions off-head. We therefore do not need to have it in writting to preserve it. The argument that knowledge has to be on paper for it to be preserved is a privilege of the most inferior minds and i urge you to desist from it.
I conclude by stating that the Quran, as revealed 1400 years ago is still the SAME Quran in print and as memorised by the Haafithu without a single alteration. I challenge anyone to state here any two versions of the Quran that they know of.
What is the most sacred book of Islam?
Of course Quran is the Holiest book in Islam. Quran is the most sacred and the only sacred book in Islam. Quran is revealed by God to prophet Mohamed (peace upon him) through the Angel Gabriel. Quran revelation continued from year 610 AD to year 632 AD (when prophet Mohamed died).

Which verses in the Qu'ran talk about education?
Read! In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists),
Has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood).
Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous,
Who has taught (the writing) by the pen [the first person to write was Prophet Idrees (Enoch)].
Has taught man that which he knew not.
[these are the first five verses of chapter no 96 of Quran]
Allah (SWT) ordered the his men to study and get knowledge. there are many other orders in Quran about getting knowledge and conducting research.
In the same way Hadith also advice us to have knowledge.
at one place Rasool Allah [May Peace be upon him] said; get knowledge (be educated) and tech others.
In the same way Rasool Allah [May Peace be upon him] said; the one who goes away from his home/place he is in Allah (SWT) 's path. [means he will be rewarded].
