Tovey: The Qur'an is text with no context!

Tovey,

The Islamic literary tradition is very different from Christian and Jewish literary sources. The Qur'an is "Text with no context."

The context is lacking in Islam because we just do not know what the Qur'an is saying and case in point is what does Allahu Akbar mean and why would Allah say: Allah and the angles pray upon Muhammad and why the word Yusaloon instead of the word Rahma?

This is not a problem of transliteration. It is a problem of a text that claims to be clear when this is far from the truth
