Some of these are related here:<br />http://philologos.org/__eb-lotj/<br />http://philologos.org/__eb-lotj/vol2/contents.htm ;<br />I. JOSEPH<br /> The Favorite Son | Joseph Hated by His Brethren | Joseph Cast into the Pit | The Sale | Joseph's Three Masters | Joseph's Coat Brought to His Father | Judah and His Sons | The Wives of the Sons of Jacob | Joseph the Slave of Potiphar | Joseph and Zuleika | Joseph Resists Temptation | Joseph in Prison | Pharaoh's Dreams | Joseph before Pharaoh | The Ruler of Egypt | Joseph's Brethren in Egypt | Joseph Meets His Brethren | The Second Journey to Egypt | Joseph and Benjamin | The Thief Caught | Judah Pleads and Threatens | Joseph Makes Himself Known | Jacob Receives the Glad Tidings | Jacob Arrives in Egypt | Joseph's Kindness and Generosity | Jacob's Last Wish | The Blessing of Ephraim and Manasseh | The Blessing of the Twelve Tribes | The Death of Jacob | The Sons of Jacob at War with the Sons of Esau | Zepho King of Kittim | The Nations at War | Joseph's Magnanimity | Asenath | The Marriage of Joseph | Kind and Unkind Brethren | Treachery Punished | The Death and Burial of Joseph. <br /><br />I am very impressed with the Qur'an's insistence on repentance to idolaters, who will face the resurrection and day of judgement much as they might wish otherwise.<br /><br />There is much godly wisdom and holiness in the Qur'an Kareem. I also am struck by its progressive views on women's rights (inheritance and divorce laws, for example).<br /><br />I would say 95% of the Qur'anic verses are powerful exhortations against the worldly arrogance of the pagans of Arabia and encouragement to live virtuous lives.<br /><br />About 4% are bizarre or strange.<br /><br />And perhaps 1% seem false, as when the Qur'an denies the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ, when it places Haman in Egypt with Pharaoh, when it says Moses performed nine plagues against Egypt rather than ten, and so on.<br /><br />I would be grateful if i could share my comments with you when I am done.<br /><br />G+D Bless you and Shukkarin,<br />Michael KornAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030156107890147461.post-44681191203957561732017-02-20T11:35:09.853-08:002017-02-20T11:35:09.853-08:00aaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
