The fact of the matter is, if you don't study something carefully you won't know anything about it. You have to analyze the Koran and look through it as well as other books to be able to verify them.
People who don't analyze and study their scriptures, or legal literature trust these things' integrity blindly. Most often they convince themselves that one will never truly know if a book is from God or not, so they follow what they like and convince themselves that it is truth. Most people don't study their books and they don't even know what these books truly promote or say.
Undertake the study of the books first. When you become familiar with them after studying them, for as long as you have no reason to doubt the books that you are studying, trust that they are what they says they are. You know, innocent until proven guilty. However, fi ever the book gives you any evidence to doubt its sincerity, reject it. But first and foremost, never claim a book to be what it doesn't even claim to be itself! You, then are not seeking truth at all, but are chasing after falsehood and fantasy.
Look for serious discrepancy, and know that you must take things for what they are. In seeking reality you cannot impose your view of what something HAS to be. It is what it the evidence says it is, not what you say it is despite all the evidence.
Furthermore, ask yourself these and other questions:
Should you believe in something just off of blind faith or should you believe it because it is the most logical and therefore provides no reason for you to reject it ?
On this same principle, do you believe in God?
Think hard on this. If you come up with a yes . . .
Do you want to please Him?
Do you want to know if the book you follow is from God?
Then educate yourself about that book, use your God-given LOGIC and INTELLIGENCE, be SINCERE and JUST and you will see. Remember, L.I.S.J, Logic, Intelligence, Sincerity, Justice.
