Nuriyah Khan: “Islam Cannot Be Reformed”

Aug 1, 2025

Of course Islam cannot be reformed. I stated this in my book over twenty years ago, and if you search this blog, I am sure it will also be found stated here on this blog. You have to accept Islam just as it is. Fact is, because ‘Al Qur’an’ is considered by Muslims to be Allah’s actual inerrant words—the name ‘Al Qur’an’ literally translated means ‘The Recitation’—how can anyone change a word or syllable in the book without being accused of heresy. And changing even a vowel in the Qur’an would be tantamount to accusing Allah Himself of having erred. It would therefore take a very brave person indeed to risk that! – © Mark Alexander
