Dear Nuray:

Is it not amazing that you believe in quran, a book full of fairy tales without any basis or historical back up and baseless statements like Alexander and Jesus were muslims and sulaiman was a prophet and scientific blunders that sun sets in muddy water and moon is a lamp and stars are used to shoot satans and jinns., yet you deny hadiths which are actual historical facts backed up with siras by many people .

You believe in a mumbo jumbo concoction of an illiterate man with neither context nor chronology who could neither read or write and refuse to accepts accounts of history written by many learned scholars.

When I asked you to tell me the ayas which give the biography of Mohammed and you quote some ayas about orphans.

Nooray, the truth is that hadith is real history with perhaps with many exaggerations but quran is all imagination of a single man with mostly self serving ayas, and disfigured stories borrowed from other cultures and religions and folk tales.
