Sheikh Shuraim Recitation - Surah Zumar

Sheikh Shuraim recites beautifully raising his voice during 2005 Taraweeh at Masjid Al Haram

I can appreciate the poetic sound of the arabic language, and I can also to some degree admire the dedication of these people to the tradition, ritual and religion. I must however, sadly note the lack of actual content. As with most of the Qu'ran, there is actually NOTHING in this recitation that focuses on how to be a good person or a constructive member of society. There is no mention of human-to-human kindness, no lessons for those who mistreat, abuse or kill their fellow primates, nothing about compassion, mutual respect or equality. Nor is there anything substantial to learn in these long lectures, about any subjects like math, physics, biology, or even history.

Everything is about preserving an unquestioning, submissive, and one hundred percent dedication to the religion itself. And threats about what will happen if you fail to do so. Realize how great and merciful and good God is, or suffer the consequences on the ever-imminent Judgment Day.

This, for me, largely sums up what religion is: Good for nothing. Except itself. Its a self-replicating virus that thrives on human gullibility, fear and psychological needs.
