Adaptations?
Why do Muslims refuse to adapt the Qur’an to the needs of modern age?
“You do not wear out a diamond by constant handling and the passage of the centuries cannot erode the words of God. That, after all, is the whole point of a divine intervention in the affairs of the world.
The revelation it self is timeless. It is eternal.

A Reminder
“The Qur’an came as a ‘reminder’ of truths inherent at the deepest level of our being but forgotten since man is, by definition, forgetful and drifts away from the Truth implanted in him unless he is constantly reminded. Islam does not claim to be a ‘new’ religion, on the contrary it presents itself as a restoration or re-statement of the ‘Din-ul-Fitrah’, the perennial religion of mankind, so we read in the Qur’an that Adam, after the fall from Paradise, received from his Lord ‘words [of revelation], and his Lord relented toward him, for He is the Relenting, the Merciful’. The passage continues: ‘We said, Go down from hence, but truly there comes to you from Me a guidance, and whosoever follows my guidance, no fear shall come upon them neither shall they grieve.’”

A Miracle
“The very idea of the Creator communicating with His creatures, trapped as they are in the non-eternal, or of the Absolute communicating with the relative seems rationally impossible. The fact that this has happened is therefore a miracle and is perceived by Muslims as such.”
