The Qu'ran provides some unexpected plot twists, which keep the book mildly entertaining. For example,
Jesus is found out to be a mortal man and not the Son of
God after all. God also becomes somewhat schizophrenic and changes his name from
Jehovah to
Allah for no particular reason. There is a flashback to the Moses story about four times in the book, different every time, with almost no relevance to the rest of the book. Allah also suddenly realises that his love for humans has turned to indifference because they killed Jesus. Allah also arbitrarily decides that he likes the Arabs more than the Jews now (so much for Chosen People, suckers!). He decrees that he really digs pre-Islamic culture as well and supports Arab cultural imperialism. God also tells Mohammed to have Muslim women dress like
Space Ghosts, giving them
fashion ahead of its time.
In the book's main feature,
Gabriel decides to give up-and-coming prophet
Mohammed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fight
Moses for the Prophesising Heavyweight Championship of the World. Alas, Mohammed - dwarfed by the superior miracle-casting spells of his elder - loses and is forced into acknowledging the older prophet's divine worth.
The Qu'ran is divided into suras (chapters), which are arranged from most boring to most exciting, as rated by
Abu Siskel and
Ibn Ebert. There is also a set of study notes on the Qu'ran, called the
Hadith. This book is informally referred to as
Mohammed's Believe It or Not!, and contains a variety of useful and remarkable things Mohammed thought up in
states of divinely inspired consciousness.
After the completion of the Qu'ran, there were
rumours of further sequels — notably the Also'ran, the Seehowthey'ran, and the Bababa-baba-b'ran (the last one risking a lawsuit from the "Beach Boys") — but the rumours were quickly squashed. Some people feel very strongly about wasting so much time reading these books that they have taken to demonstrating in the street and burning copies of any other books they don’t like.
But Allah released the
Qur'an II., mainly stating Allah's plan of Muslim Terrorism to have Islam prevail, many Muslims that do terrorism find this book scripture. But some deny Allah's second book and call it a parody.
