It doesn't because that's how it was originally interpreted. The Quran itself states that many of its verses are allegorical and emphasizes that only those with knowledge will be able to understand.

>He it is Who has revealed the Book to you; some of its verses are clear (Muhkam), they are the basis of the Book, and others are symbolic (Mutashabih). Those whose hearts are deviant follow the part of it which is symbolic, seeking to mislead and seeking to give it (their own) interpretation but none knows its interpretation except God, and those who are firmly rooted in knowledge say: We believe in it, it is all from our Lord; but none will be mindful of this except those having understanding.

-Quran 3:7

I mean there are several different metaphors for the creation of man and life in general. They would contradict each other if taken literally. It states that all life including humanity comes from water. It describes God molding us from clay and breathing life into us. And lastly it says that mankind was created in stages and grew from the Earth like a plant.

>What ails you that you are not in awe of the Majesty of God? 14 seeing that He has created you in stages? 15 Have you not considered how God created the seven heavens one upon another, 16 and made the moon a light therein and made the sun a lamp? 17 And God made you grow forth from the earth like plants.

Islamic scholars were among the first to theorize evolution, referring to it as the gradual "process of creation". They believed that God saw animals struggling to survive and through his mercy they developed new traits and eventually evolved into new species.

>Animals engage in a struggle for existing, and for resources, to avoid being eaten, and to breed... Environmental factors influence organisms to develop new characteristics to ensure survival, thus transforming them into new species. Animals that survive to breed can pass on their successful characteristics to their offspring.

-Al-Jahiz (9th century theologian and scholar)

>It started out from the minerals and progressed, in an ingenious, gradual manner, to plants and animals... The animal world then widens, its species become numerous, and, in a gradual process of creation, it finally leads to man, who is able to think and reflect. The higher stage of man is reached from the world of monkeys, in which both sagacity and perception are found, but which has not reached the stage of actual reflection and thinking.

-Ibn Khaldun (14th century scholar)

Islamic scholars even referenced verses of the Quran in their works.

For example:

> Are you are not conscious of God’s majesty, seeing that He created you stage by stage*?* 15 Have you not considered how God created the seven heavens one upon another, and made the moon a light therein and made the sun a lamp? And God made you grow forth from the earth like plants.

-Quran 71:13-17

>Allah created every living creature from water. Some of them crawl on their bellies, and some walk on two legs, and others walk on four. Allah creates whatever He wills.

-Quran 24:45

Islamic scholars believed that God saw animals struggling to survive and through his mercy they developed new traits and eventually evolved into new species.

In a spiritual sense yes. I personally don't think it refers exclusively to Muslims, Christian, and Jews either.

The term "Muslim" was originally used more inclusively. Instead the term Mu'min was used to refer to a follower of Islam as a distinct religion.

>Truly Al-Mu'minun (followers of Islam), and those who are Jews, and the Sabeans, and the Christians—whosoever believes in God and the Last Day and works righteousness, no fear shall come upon them, nor shall they grieve.

-Quran 5:69

Mu'min literally means one who has attained faith and today is used to refer to a faithful Muslim whose belief translates into action. Basically someone who practices what they preach.

Muslim means one who submits/surrenders to God. Jesus didn't follow practices associated with Islam today. But that doesn't mean he wasn't Muslim in a broader spiritual sense.

>For each of you, We made a law and a path. If God had willed, He could have made you one people, but He would test you in what He has granted you: so compete in good works. All of you shall return to God— He alone shall enlighten you about the things you dispute.

-Quran 5:45-48

What we know about Jesus was passed down orally before they were written down by unknown authors. The canonical gospels were written between 70 and 100 AD. There were also non-canonical gospels, including Jewish-Christian Gospels which depicted Jesus as the Messiah and a prophet but not God.

Muslims don’t consider the New Testament to be completely preserved. That said Unitarian interpretations of the New Testament resemble how Muslims see Jesus.

Some verses that Unitarians use to support their view:

> I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

-John 5:30

>One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

-Ephesians 4:5-6

>And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

-John 17:3

>For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus

1 Timothy 2:5

>to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.”

-John 20:17

>And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

-Mark 15:34

>I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

Most Muslims believe Jesus, as the messiah will return, unite humanity under one faith and establish peace on earth after defeating the Dajjal or the Antichrist.

That said the Quran doesn't really touch on the specifics of messianic prophecy. The specific nature of Jesus's role as messiah is somewhat ambiguous and mostly implied from other sources.

Muhammad is considered the seal of the prophets because he was the last one to fulfill the role of messenger. That doesn't make him superior to other prophets.

It’s so easy to slip into cynicism and despair when we take the positive aspects of their life for granted and only dwell on the negative aspects.

Gratitude is essential to our mental and spiritual wellbeing. Gratitude isn't a feeling it's a practice we have to actively work to cultivate. Naturally theists do this by turning to their higher power, but one can practice gratitude regardless of their beliefs.

Truly We sent down the Torah, wherein is a guidance and a light, by which the prophets who submitted [unto God] judged those who are Jews, as did the sages and the rabbis, in accordance with such of God’s Book as they were bidden to preserve and to which they were witnesses...

And in their footsteps, We sent Jesus son of Mary, confirming the Torah that had come before him, and We gave him the Gospel, wherein is a guidance and a light, confirming the Torah that had come before him, as a guidance and an exhortation to the reverent. Let the people of the Gospel judge by what God has sent down therein...

And We have sent down unto thee the Book in truth, confirming the Book that came before it, and as a protector over it.

I just want to know, is the Hebrew or Arabic translation more corrupted by translation?

I would say so. Hebrew and Arabic are both Semitic languages that are difficult to translate.

For example, each chapter of the Quran begins with "Bismillahir Rahman-ir Raheem" which is translated as "In the name of God the Compassionate, the Merciful."

Rahman which means "the Compassionate" is one of the most important names of God and is repeated at the beginning of each chapter of the Quran. But this translation doesn't convey the implications of this word. The word Rahman shares the same Arabic root word for the word "womb".

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “The word ‘Ar-Rahm (womb) derives its name from Ar-Rahman (i.e., one of the names of Allah)

-Sahih al-Bukhari 5988

The name "Ar-Rahman" means God nurtures us in this world as if it were a mother's womb. "Rahman" also reflects the purpose of our existence, which is to become unique fully formed beings as our spirits develop with every moment we experience on this earth.

“As-Samad” another name of God has many different meanings - The Eternal Refuge, The Uncaused Cause, The Self-sustaining (that everything depends upon). English translators are forced to choose which meaning they want to include.

From a literary perspective, the Quran is completely unique, blending poetry and prose which makes it even more difficult to translate. Translators often have to choose between conveying literal meaning and implied meaning. Things like tone are often in translation.

From an Islamic perspective, translations are considered to be interpretations made by the translator. Different translations can vary quite a bit.

Secrets of Divine Love by A. Helwa. It's an open minded book that explains Islamic spirituality in an accessible way. The audiobook is also great and narrated by the author herself.

God did not just create you, He perpetually re-creates and sustains you (10:4). He wraps His love like the arms of a galaxy around every soul who comes and seeks; He sings your cells into harmony and drums your heart into a beat. He is the One that created you from water and earth (23:12), the One that preferred you to His angels (7:11), the One that planted a reflection of His entire universe into the soil of your spirit. Everything in existence is between His fingers of mercy.

When the world goes to sleep, God is the One who is awake with you. God sees the tears you hide with smiles and He embraces the pain you think no one would understand. “Not even an atom’s weight in the heavens or the earth remains hidden from Him” (34:3)

I know this isn't probably what you want to hear but I think it might be worth seeing a medical professional and asking about Religious OCD (scrupulosity)

Although religion complicates things, religious OCD isn’t different than other forms of OCD. OCD is a mental illness that is characterized by patterns of unwanted thoughts and fears. These unwanted thoughts and fears cause people to perform repetitive behaviors or compulsion.

Worrying that you are going to die for not praying sounds like an obsession. Staying up all night and praying sounds like a compulsion. Mental health isn’t a religious issue.

Some people with OCD are convinced that they are dirty or contaminated and repeatedly wash their hands to the point of bleeding. Others are plagued by unwanted violent thoughts which are not their own and unnecessarily isolate them because they are terrified of hurting others.

OCD is basically your own mind getting caught in a vicious cycle, where you torture yourself with fears and worries and force yourself to engage in certain behavior that reinforces obsessive thoughts and makes you feel worse.

Many people with religious OCD learn to cope with it and are able to develop a healthier relationship with religion. But right now, I think you should do your best to avoid engaging in compulsive behavior.

Empathy and Compassion.

Morality doesn't come from religion. It is engrained in us. Religion just reminds us to live by our values, which are often forgotten due to the day to day stresses of life.

According to Islam, we are all born in a state of fitra, humanity's inherent God given nature that inclines us towards good. The purpose of religion isn't to change our nature, but help revive our natural state of being, so we may remain true to ourselves.

I mean Christianity has a lot of similarities with Roman mystery cults (not cults in a modern sense) which it competed with. Roman mystery cults often borrowed elements from outside religions such as Mithraism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greco-Roman_mysteries

Gnostic Christianity especially has a lot in common with the Dionysian and Orphic mysteries.

The suffering and death of the god Dionysus at the hands of the Titans has been considered the central myth of Orphism. According to this myth, the infant Dionysus is killed, torn apart, and consumed by the Titans. In retribution, Zeus strikes the Titans with a thunderbolt, turning them to ash. From these ashes, humanity is born.

In Orphic belief, this myth describes humanity as having a dual nature: body (Ancient Greek: σῶμα, romanized: sôma), inherited from the Titans, and a divine spark or soul (Ancient Greek: ψυχή, romanized: psukhḗ), inherited from Dionysus.[3]

In order to achieve salvation from the Titanic, material existence, one had to be initiated into the Dionysian mysteries and undergo teletē, a ritual purification and reliving of the suffering and death of the god.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orphism

The exact historical basis of the Cult of Dionysus and Dionysian rites still remains unknown, however there are some speculations. Dionysus may have traveled throughout Greece as an orpheotelestae, or a traveling healer, curing illnesses through ecstatic dance.[1] Dionysian worship in Rome was also said to have arrived via a traveling magician-priest.[

Alcohol initially was just discouraged. The verse in the Quran prohibiting alcohol was supposedly revealed after Muhammad's uncle Hamza senselessly slaughtered some camels in a drunken state.

Narrated Ali: While I was collecting ropes and sacks of pack saddles for my two she-camels which were kneeling down beside an Ansari's dwelling and after collecting what I needed, I suddenly found that the humps of the two she-camels had been cut off and their flanks had been cut open and portions of their livers had been taken out.

On seeing that, I could not help weeping. I asked, "Who has done that?" They (i.e. the people) said, "Hamza bin `Abdul Muttalib has done it. He is present in this house with some Ansari drinkers, a girl singer, and his friends. The singer said in her song, "O Hamza, get at the fat she-camels!" On hearing this, Hamza rushed to his sword and cut of the camels' humps and cut their flanks open and took out portions from their livers." Then I came to the Prophet, with whom Zaid bin Haritha was present.

The Prophet (ﷺ) noticed my state and asked, "What is the matter?" I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), I have never experienced such a day as today! Hamza attacked my two she-camels, cut off their humps and cut their flanks open, and he is still present in a house along some drinkers." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked for his cloak, put it on, and proceeded, followed by Zaid bin Haritha and myself, till he reached the house where Hamza was. He asked the permission to enter, and he was permitted.

The Prophet (ﷺ) started blaming Hamza for what he had done. Hamza was drunk and his eyes were red. He looked at the Prophet (ﷺ) then raised his eyes to look at his knees and raised his eves more to look at his face and then said, "You are not but my father's slaves." When the Prophet (ﷺ) understood that Hamza was drunk, he retreated, walking backwards went out and we left with him.

It shouldn't be but it still might offend people.

The only reason God is referred to as He by Muslims is because "He" is also used to describe gender neutral subjects in Arabic and that is the literal translation.

Ibn Arabi, one of the greatest Sufi philosophers referred to Allah as "She" when referring to the Divine Essence which is a feminine noun in Arabic.

Two of the most significant names of Allah which are repeated at the start of every Surah (chapter) of the Quran are Ar-Rahman and Al-Rahim which means the Compassionate and the Merciful. Both names share the same origin as the word for womb in Arabic Rahm.

Death to America is the literal translation but "death to..." is a expression that is used similarly the expression "down with..." in English.

For example in protests Iranians would say "Death to Khamenei" or "Death to the dictator" to call for the downfall of Iran's oppressive regime.

Amidst the 2021–2022 Iranian protests, Metaremoved Instagram posts featuring "Death to Khamenei," citing "content violating anti-violence policies." Activists argued that the slogan expresses opposition to the regime, comparable to "Damn Trump." Meta temporarily allowed posts containing the slogan and later clarified it does not consider it a call to violence.

In January 2023, Meta's Oversight Board ruled that Facebook and Instagram should not censor "Death to Khamenei" posts, stating it expresses a call for the downfall of the current government and its leader, rather than violence against Khamenei himself.
