Why do we see Muslims give great care to the Qur'an?
Muslims care about the Qur'an because it is the sacred words of God; No falsehood can approach it from before or behind it. It is the constitution for their life sent to them from God, they follow its orders and fulfill its laws to achieve their good life in this world and great happiness in the hereafter. They see that everything told in the Koran becomes true in their lives. They also get sure that everything in the Koran matches what man reaches in science, inventions and discoveries. They also find in the Koran ease of their souls, contentment of their chests and pureness of their hearts.
No. However, some of the incidents from the Pentateuch is written in the Quran. Many of the accounts from the Bible that was incorporated in the Quran does not agree with Biblical accounts. A recent discovery of the Pentateuch (The DEAD SEA SCROLLS) indicate that the Bible is intact in its message at least from 2nd Century BC (Before Christ). Quran was written around 8th Century AD (After Christ), about 900 years later.
What does shila mean in Islam?
there is no such thing in Islam.
most probably you mean shi'a
shia shiite shi'te shii'te shīʿah shi'ite shi'ites shias all are the same.
all are for arabic word شيعه which means follower [of some one]/ sect.
and in shia/sunni debates means "shia of Ali"
Shia and Sunni have mostly same beliefs and both believe in fundamental beliefs of Islam. Today there is up to 260 sects in Islam that are in two main categories of shia and sunni.
the conflict of shia and sunni has been always amplified by world Imperialism to prevent Islam from gaining power.
Shia believes in Allah, prophet and all fundamentals of Islam.
Shia pray 5 times a day but usually do the 2, 3 and 4, 5 pray together and so may seem they do only 3 pray a day. there is some differences in details of pray like genuflect (for shia should be on a stone or part of earth and for sunni on carpet or floor ).
shia believe after death of prophet God selected the successive for prophet who is the political leader of Muslim community and people can not and does not the right to selected it.
Shia believes the Caliph (Representative of God in earth) is selected only by God and can not be selected by people because God said in Koran: "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority" (Quran 2:30) or "O David! We did indeed make thee a vicegerent on earth" (Quran 38:26) also other verses.
Shia believes such verses means only God can select an Islamic political leader (Caliph).
In Shia Islam Caliphs after prophet are 12 Imams and all of them are the same and have no mistake and have the knowledge of everything (not absolute knowledge like knowledge of God) and they hear all sayings and even thinks of all humans after even after their death by permission of God and they are intermediates between God and human Shia Muslims always support them and forgive their lives for them.
Shia Muslims do not consider selection of Abubakr as Caliph by people valid because God did not select him. They believe God ordered prophet to declare people that Ali is selected as successor of prophet and prophet did this mission many times during his prophet-hood and mainly in Ghadir event after last Hajj of his life at a 3-4 hour speech in front of 120,000 Muslims at Ghadir in hot desert after 2 days stop of long caravan for gathering and 3 days after speech for congratulations and homage of Muslims to Ali. Islam at that time had high power in world and Some companions had high interest in leadership position after prophet. Muslims knew that it is the final Hajj of prophet (predicted by prophet) and were going along with prophet to hear what prophet says at end of his life. Shia believes Ghadir event is the most important event of Islam and is mentioned in Koran in many verses like "Today" (اليوم) in verse 5:3 of Quran is the day of Ghadir. Or Verse 5:67 (O Messenger! proclaim the (message) which hath been sent to thee from thy Lord. If thou didst not, thou wouldst not have fulfilled and proclaimed His mission. And Allah will defend thee from men (who mean mischief). For Allah guideth not those who reject Faith) is revealed at Ghadir day and is about declaring political leadership of Ali after prophet.
Both Sunni and Shia Muslims accept happening of Ghadir event But different interpret. Some Sunni writers tried to reject the event of Ghadir as declare of leadership of Ali and said at Ghadir prophet only wanted to say Ali is my friend and no one should bother him. Ali had 3 different missions to Yemen by prophet during 10 years and in 2 of them some companions of prophet had some conflicts with Ali and and prophet said some sayings about Ali to solve conflicts and some sunni writers have mixed stories of missions of Ali to Yemen with story of Ghadir to prove Ghadir event is not about Leadership of Ali and is not important.
Shia scholars believe some Sunni writers have changed and deviated historical evidences about political leadership of Ali in old historical books and republished them to destroy evidences of leadership of Ali from old Sunni books.
The famous Shia book Al-Ghadir (الغدير) by Allameh Amini is a collection of evidences and proofs for Ghadir Events written after referring to 100,000 Sunni books and full reading of 10,000 sunny books. Allameh Amini is a famous Shia scholar and spent 40 years of his life in travelling to access original old Sunni books in libraries in different countries to write this 20 volume book only from Sunni books and not using any Shia book. Some Sunni scholars tried to reply this book but then said if we want to reply this book we should first destroy all books of ourselves.
Shia doctrine have root in Karbala tragedy. When tragedy of Karbala happened most of Iranians understood there is two different kinds of Islam and after happening of Karbala tragedy most of Iranians became followers of "Ahl al-Bayt" and forgive their lives for them like what they did in Iranian Revolution and Iran-Iraq War. Shia Muslims have at least 120,000 Hadith (saying) from The Fourteen Infallibles that is the base of Shia Islam along with Quran. Shia believes according to " Hadith of the two weighty things" The Fourteen Infallibles are the only valid interpreters of Quran and sayings of them are from God because they are Representative of God in earth and they do not say anything from themselves. Shia believes 12th of them (Mahdi) is alive and because people have killed all 11 Imams before him, he is in hide like Jesus and will come out of hide toghether with Jesus when people become ready and want to accept his leadership. All 11 Imams have been killed and during their life thy all have been in prison or under hard control of government to not have any political action. They never had enough serious followers to can get political power. Among them only the sixth Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq was relatively free in his life to have only scientific activities (but banned from any political action) and so only he is known in west because he established university and had students from all over the world. Westerns know him as a polymath: an astronomer, alchemist, Imam, Islamic scholar, Islamic theologian, writer, philosopher, physician, physicist and scientist. He was also the teacher of the famous chemist, Jābir ibn Hayyān (Geber), and of Abū Ḥanīfa, the founder of the Hanafi school of Sunni Islamic jurisprudence. He never wanted be a famous man and only shared his knowledge with who wanted to learn. Some researchers consider his teachings the root cause of renaissance.
Sunni Muslims also accept Mahdi and his worldwide leadership as Caliph of God in earth at end of world. There is a famous Hadith from prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that Mahdi at hide is like sun behind cloud, he is hidden from people but people receive his benefits. Shia Muslims say some faithful believers have connection with Mahdi and use his knowledge. Shia Muslims believe that it is proved at least 1000 persons have had connection and talk with Mahdi during his hide period but Any one having relation with Mahdi keep it and does not declare it in public until is alive.
Pengasas kaedah al-quran al-baghdadi?
Pertamanya kaedah al-baghdadi bermula di Jenagor Kuala Brang apabila Islam bertapak sepertidiriwayatkan batu bersurat.
Panggilan albaghdadi adalah merujuk kepada salasilah Tok Jenagor atau Sheikh Abdul Malik iaitu ahlilbait sebelah Saidina Husain. Papan tanda rasmi makam itu MAKAM SHARIF HUSAIN BAGHDADI menunjukkan beliau sharif/ahlil bait, keturunan sebelah Husain dari titisan Ahmad ibni Isa alMuhajir alBaghdadi. Makam imam besar in terletak di kawasan dekat Bor, Terim di panggil Sultana atau Maryama seingat saya.
Beliau berhijrah dari Baghdad ke Hadramaut, dan keturunan beliau dari Terim yang membawa Islam ke Timur terus menetap di Nusantara.
Kaedah serupa digunakan dalam pengajaran tradisional di hadramaut dan merupakan kaedah asas ahlilsunnah wal jamaah.
Maklumat ini saya perolehi dari 'oral history'.
The word of Allah (God).
The holy book of Islam.
The first source of laws in Islam.

Why is the star and crescent moon on top of dome?
hi well it is because Allah is a pagan moon god. Proof of this is all over the ancient world inarchaeology so to cut a long story short it made its ways to Muhammad which we know as Islam. So the lesson is to be truthful that you must pursue the truth in these matters or you will be deceived as the rest because Satan is smarter than us . Test everything!!! lol
Answer B:
Allah is not moon god, Allah (God in english) is Creator of universe and muslims do not worship moon. They worship Allah.
"See ye not how Allah has created the seven heavens one above another, and made the moon a light in their midst, and made the sun as a lamp ?" (Quran 71:15-16)
The star and cresent moon on top of dome and mosques is for decoration.

Which two men names are mentioned in QURAN bt they were not prophets?

What are the proofs that the Qur'an is God holy book?
One of the main proofs is the scientific statements in Quran that reflect scientific facts only been discovered and validated only recently through the new scientific discoveries and technology developments.
Quran is true word of God with the same language of God revelation.
Quran is God revelations to Prophet Mohamed (peace upon him). These revelations of Quran by God to Prophet Mohamed was through the Angel Gabriel and started in year 610 AD when prophet Mohamed was in Mecca (Makkah) and was by then 40 years old. The revelations continued since then and was completed by year 632 AD (year of death of the prophet).
The long period for full revelation of the Quran (around 22 years) allowed the Quran to be fully memorized and documented by many Muslims. It was recited in the mosque by prophet Mohamed during the daily five prayers without single letter change. Many Muslims since then until now are memorizing Quran fully without single letter difference. This explains why Quran remains by God will, and will remain by God will, without single letter change.
For those who are seeking the truth and are interested in the proofs behind Quran revelation by God and that Quran is not a human written text, they can refer to the related question below and the related link for more details.
However, it is enough to highlight few issues as follow:
1. Some historians claim that prophet Muhammad wrote the Quran by himself. Arguments against this claim are:
- Prophet Muhammad was an illiterate man who had no formal education in any science, language, religious or secular.
- Quran speaks about a variety of branches of science like: Astronomy, Embryology, Hydrology, Geology, Sociology, Psychology, Oceanography, Law etc. including lots of scientific statements that were validated only recently and were not known in the time of the prophet.
- It was not known about prophet Muhammad any scholarly tendencies or achievements until the age of forty (when he received the first verses of Quran). So, how this illiterate man suddenly brings about a book like the Quran including an ideological and religious revolution that changed history?
- Why prophet Muhammad (peace be on him), if he authored the Quran, honor the virgin Mary (May Allah be pleased with her), the mother of Jesus (peace be on him) as the best woman over all women on earth over all ages until day of judgment (an honor that even not offered by the bible) while not mentioning his own family members with a single word and even not mentioning any name of them.?
- If he had authored the Quran, why he didn't claim this authorship of Quran and consequently gaining higher prestige among his followers who may consider him as a God.
- Why he mentioned Quran verses that reprimand him (as that of chapter 33, verse 37 and chapter 80 verses 1-3) if he wrote Quran by himself?.
2. Some others claim that Prophet Muhammad copied the Quran from the Bible. Arguments against this claim are:
- No Arabic version of the Bible was available at the time of Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him). The oldest Arabic version of the New Testament was published by Erpenius in 1616 AD (about one thousand years after Quran start of revelation)
- Quran included correct scientific information on some incidents that are scientifically incorrect in the bible (for example: sun was created after the creation of earth Genesis 1:9-19 and vegetation was created before the Sun; Genesis 1:11-13, 14-19). had prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) copied the information from the Bible and corrected the mistakes before mentioning it in the Quran? In addition, Quran includes lots of other scientific statements, that currently proven as correct, and not mentioned in the Bible.
- How so many Jews and Christians, including many who were were scholars in their religion, converted to Islam if there was doubt that Prophet Muhammad was copying from their scriptures?
- If Quran has some preachings or tales that are similar to that in the Bible, then this is because all holy books came from a single source (God).
3. Some others claim that a person or group of persons taught Muhammad (peace be on him) on how to write the Quran. Arguments against this claim are:
- If this is true, then why not discovered a single teacher of them in the time of the prophet.
- Quran was revealed over 23 years and not at once. Is it logic that that someone or more taught prophet Muhammad over a period of without being known.
- Sometimes Quran revelations occurred in the presence of the people and they witnessed how the prophet receives the Quran revelation.
- Why the teacher, who taught Quran to the prophet, didn't claim it and its credit to himself?
- Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) was surrounded by his companions all the time and every minute detail of his life was recorded. How could Muhammad (peace be on him) make frequent secret visits to that mysterious teacher or teachers for 23 years without being caught even once?
- How could so many Jews and Christians convert to Islam [some of them were scholars in their religion] if Muhammad (peace be on him) was learning from their priests or rabbis?
