Is It Blasphemy to Call the Qur’an Muslims’ Holy Book? [Quote - 107]

Published By Categorised as Quote-Unquote, Quote-Unquote – Book II (101-200)

“English-speaking Muslims often speak of the Qur’an as their Holy Book. Just like Christians for example refer to the Bible as their Holy Book.

I am not sure the Qur’an ever said or suggested that it was anyone’s Holy Book. I am also not sure if questions like this even matter to Muslims.

In the same way, I am not even sure if it is blasphemy to refer to the Qur’an as Muslims’ Holy Book.” (Dr. Pasha)
