We look to the Quran, we'll find that 3%
3% you just take all the verses in the Quran that are of a legal
nature,
and then count all the verses of the Quran, take the quotient, and
you'll find out that about 3% of them
are commands and prohibitions, divine commands and prohibitions.
97% of the Quran teaches ethics, the relationship between God and
man, the purpose of life, morality, other truths as well.
The history of nations in the past teaches us how to be self
critical,
how to use reason and faith. The extreme importance of using reason
and faith teaches many, many major themes.
You know what I was taught when I became a convert? Rules, rules,
rules.
If I hadn't studied this religion myself and entered this religion,
and all I received were rules, rules, rules, I would have left it
the next day. Thank God I read the Quran first.
