To understand the prohibition and prohibited verses in the Quran

Abstract

In the modern world against the background of the growth of the Islamic factor one of the most pressing issues remains for all Muslims to quote individual places from the text of the Holy Book - the Quran and justify the desired idea. Different individuals, groups or political parties try to support their opinions by verifying the text of the Quran.
