God is the teacher and explainer of the Quran and puts it into believers' hearts regardless of their mother tongue; Muhammad did not explain the Quran.1, 2, 3
The language of Hadith is in fact extremely difficult, so it is false that Hadith is needed to explain a difficult Quran.1
Those who refuse to believe God and uphold the Quran alone are deliberately isolated from understanding the Quran, and they run away when God is preached in the Quran alone.1, 2
Verse 33:56 means encouraging and supporting the Prophet during his life, not praising him day and night, and God and His angels likewise encourage all believers.1, 2, 3

Because the Quran was sent for all people, its language and its miracle range from the very simple to the highly intricate, so the message is attainable by everyone regardless of education.1, 2
Earlier generations were given only a temporary interpretation of the number 19 in Chapter 74, understanding it as the number of the guards of hell.1, 2
Dr. Khalifa began translating the Quran vowing not to move past any verse until he understood it, and translating A.L.M. took four years, coinciding with the unveiling of the mathematical miracle.1, 2, 3
The Quran is easy for sincere believers, but by divine law no one has access to it or its miracle without being a sincere believer given divine authorization, so its unveiling through Rashad Khalifa signals his messengership.1, 2
A human can meet a simple numerical pattern only at the expense of literary quality, while the Quran controls literary style and intricate letter distribution together, which shows in how easy it is to memorize, understand, and enjoy.1, 2
Sincere believers have access to the Quran regardless of their mother tongue, while disbelievers are denied access even if they are professors of Arabic.1
The word Mathal in these verses could be removed and the sentences would still be perfect, so it is there to show that the descriptions of Heaven and Hell are allegorical.1
Because of the invisible forces serving it, the Quran is readily and enjoyably accessible to sincere believers and utterly inaccessible to unbelievers.1
Believers who do not know Arabic know the Quran better than unbelievers who speak Arabic.1
Insincere readers who read the Quran to find fault with it are diverted from it, and God's invisible forces even help them find the faults they seek.1
The Quran can be read hundreds of times without boredom, and readers derive new and valuable information from it every time, unlike a novel.1
The Arabic word Ummy means Gentile, one who does not follow any scripture, and it does not mean illiterate.1
When you do not understand the Quran, you should go to God rather than to the hadith, because God alone guides.1, 2, 3
When opponents claim something contrary to a Quranic statement, God often places the answer to their claim elsewhere in the Quran.1
The names God taught Adam were names of objects, because the next verse says God presented these things to the angels and asked for their names.1, 2, 3, 4
The two easts and two wests refer to two sets of creatures on earth, humans and jinns, whom God addresses separately because they have separate needs.1, 2
No one outside the believers who uphold the word of God alone has been allowed to discover any part of the mathematical miracle, while those who follow Hadith and Sunna are not permitted to touch it.1, 2, 3, 4
The claim that this verse means no one may physically touch the Quran without meeting certain requirements is a clever satanic distortion meant to keep people from studying God's message.1, 2, 3
The verse saying none can touch the Quran except the righteous means that only sincere seekers of the truth are allowed to understand it, while the insincere are prevented from gaining any knowledge from it.1, 2, 3, 4
When a sincere person reads the Quran, God Himself teaches him, which is why one can read it a thousand times and still find new things, unlike an ordinary book.1, 2, 3
Not everyone can understand the Quran, even professors of Arabic, while God puts the Quran into the believers regardless of their language.1, 2
The verse about God and His angels supporting the prophet is taken out of context, since God and His angels do the same for believers, yet it is used to glorify Muhammad.1, 2, 3
There is no contradiction between the spiritual and the rational; they must go together, though people tend to make things difficult for themselves.1, 2, 3
Both Hajj and Umrah must be observed in pilgrimage, since the verse says and rather than or, showing how precisely the Quran's wording must be read.1, 2, 3
God is the teacher of the Quran, and He sees to it that sincere believers reach the correct conclusions.1, 2, 3
All descriptions of paradise are allegorical, and the forbidden tree probably symbolizes a law God gave Adam and Eve to uphold.1, 2, 3
The verse about superseding verses means the Quran supersedes provisions of former scriptures, not that one verse of the Quran cancels another, since the Quran is consistent.1, 2, 3, 4
Verse 90:4 means humans were created to work hard, not to suffer; reading pain and suffering into it is an unbelievers' interpretation justifying their own miserable lives.1, 2, 3
The Quran explains itself, and verse 2:151 is the answer to the prayer of Abraham in 2:129 for a messenger from among his descendants.1, 2, 3, 4
The Quran's verses about followers of the scripture disregarding God's scripture apply also to so-called Muslims today.1, 2
God inspires all of us through each other's input, so studying the Quran as a group is more productive than studying it alone at home.1, 2, 3, 4
Opponents misuse verse 3:7 by stopping after God and ignoring the letter wa, claiming no one may know the meaning of the Quranic initials.1, 2, 3
Religious scholars devote their effort to multiple meaning verses, forget the essence of the scripture, and confuse people, which shows how Satan diverts from the major issues.1, 2, 3
The Quran has straightforward verses that are the essence of the scripture and multiple meaning verses, which those with doubt in their hearts pursue to create confusion.1, 2, 3, 4
Although the Quran's code of 19 is very simple, no one was permitted to discover it except believers, not those who follow Hadith and Sunna or mention other names in prayer.1, 2, 3, 4
The verse saying none can touch the Quran except the righteous does not mean physical touching; claiming so is a satanic distortion meant to keep people from studying God's message.1, 2, 3, 4
Claiming that the Quran requires capital punishment is a misunderstanding, since capital punishment is only set as a maximum and preference is given to compensation.1, 2, 3
The descriptions of heaven and hell are allegorical, given in terms people can understand.1, 2
