The Quran is A Cult of Believers ..........this is a Cult ...Not A Religion......... The muslims believe in the Quran Here is what it is::::::::::::Muslims believe that the Quran was verbally revealed by God to Muhammad through the angel Gabriel (Jibril),[3][4] gradually over a period of approximately 23 years, beginning on 22 December 609 CE,[5] when Muhammad was 40, Check out the date of 609 CE in which stands for:::::::::::::Common Era (also Current Era[1] or Christian Era[2]), abbreviated as CE, is an alternative naming of the calendar era, Anno Domini (in the Year of Our Lord, abbreviated AD).[3][4] BCE is the abbreviation for Before the Common/Current/Christian Era (an alternative to Before Christ, abbreviated BC). The CE/BCE designation uses the year-numbering system introduced by the 6th-century Christian monk Dionysius Exiguus, who started the Anno Domini designation, intending the beginning of the life of Jesus[5] to be the reference date.[6][7] Neither notation includes a year zero,[8] and the two notations (CE/BCE and AD/BC) are numerically equivalent; thus 2014 CE corresponds to AD 2014, and 400 BCE corresponds to 400 BC. The expression Common Era can be found as early as 1708 in English,[9] and traced back to Latin usage among European Christians to 1615, as vulgaris aerae,[10] and to 1635 in English as Vulgar Era. At those times, the expressions were all used interchangeably with Christian Era, with vulgar meaning ordinary, common, or not regal rather than crudely indecent. Use of the CE abbreviation was introduced by Jewish academics in the mid-19th century. Since the later 20th century, use of CE and BCE has been popularized in academic and scientific publications, and more generally by publishers emphasizing secularism or sensitivity to non-Christians. Among the reasons given by those who oppose the use of Common Era notation is that it is selective as other aspects of the Western calendar have origins in various belief systems (e.g., January is named for Janus),[18] and claims that its propagation is the result of secularization, anti-supernaturalism, religious pluralism, and political correctness.[19][20][21] Origins[edit] See also: Anno Domini The year numbering system used with Common Era notation was devised by the Christian monk Dionysius Exiguus in the year 525 to replace the Era of Martyrs system, because he did not wish to continue the memory of a tyrant who persecuted Christians.[22] He attempted to number years from an event he referred to as the Incarnation of Jesus,[22] although scholars today generally agree that he miscalculated by a small number of years.[23][24] Dionysius labeled the column of the Easter table in which he introduced the new era Anni Domini Nostri Jesu Christi.[25] Numbering years in this manner became more widespread with its usage by Bede in England in 731. Bede also introduced the practice of dating years before the supposed year of birth[26] of Jesus, and the practice of not using a year zero.[27] In 1422, Portugal became the last Western European country to switch to the system begun by Dionysius.[28] Cult From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search For the original sense of religious practice, see Cult (religious practice). For religious groups with modern origins see New religious movement and List of new religious movements. For other uses see Cult (disambiguation). In the sociological classifications of religious movements, a cult is a religious or other social group with socially deviant and novel beliefs and practices.[1] However, whether any particular groups beliefs and practices are sufficiently deviant or novel is often unclear, and thus establishing a precise definition based on these criteria is problematic.[2][3] The English word often carries derogatory connotations[4][5] and is used selectively by proponents of mind control theory.[6] In 2008 the Russian Interior Ministry prepared a list of extremist groups which included groups adhering to militant Islamism as well as Pagan cults.[24] At the height of the counter-cult movement and ritual abuse scare of the 1990s, some governments published lists of cults;[25] The US Project Megiddo specifically addressed concerns over millennialist cults in the time leading up to the year 2000. Since the 2000s, some governments have again distanced themselves from such classifications of religious movements.[26] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamism
