Document Summary
Quran: fond of stories about prophets: from hebrew scriptures and christian scriptures. Accounts to adam, noah,, abraham, joseph, moses, Names and the details of the stories differ: point if the always the same: when god sends a prophet, woe to those who reject the msg. Stories of prophets: along with this quran also has a good deal to say about previous scriptures. Casual observation will show that extant versions of these scriptures do not match the quran. Muslims have concluded that jewish and christian scriptures have been corrupted. God says a good deal in quran: how he would like human beings to behave, degree of clarity, no drinking of wine. Firstly, it is possible that god"s opinion varies according to context. Some situations might be tolerated, others prohibited. One way to know is to go outside the quran for information: by doing so can know how god"s command is applicable to circumstances.
