What happens when a non-Muslim (true to his/her faith) reads Quran with an open heart?

You get answers to several questions you probbaly had in your mind but never bothered to ask anyone, apart from that, it just teaches a simple way of living, showing compassions when needed and several other similar stuff. If you are looking to see if god exists, you would need more than the book itself.

I found it an interesting read, and there certainly are a few spots in some of the Suras that seem poetic and beautiful.

I did find the Quran to be somewhat disjointed, however - bouncing around in time and place. Take the Sura Mary, which starts narratively enough telling something resembling the nativity - then it takes a few swipes at Christianity, careens back to the time of Abraham, leaps hundreds of years forward to the time of Moses, and then speaks of destroying unbelievers and how it is bad to think God could have a son.

Basically, the whole Sura ends up coming off as more of a disjointed rant against Christianity. And without deliberately trying to find it so, it came off to me as much less impressive than the sort of majestic things St. Paul wrote about in 1 Corinthians 13

edit: the same could be said of Christianity, regarding having it interpreted for you. The scriptures make sense through exegesis (theoligical explanation and study.)

the reason probably is that you didnot read the Quran with the context and proper explaination ("proper" means an explaination by a famous muslim scholar). its not just a stright away simple "book". the Quran was sent in parts through a course of 23 years and to understand it one needs the context as well as the events that forsaw the revelation.

I think it is ok to read Quran with proper understanding (as described above) for the non muslims.

The non-Muslim ends up confused and questioning his "faith". Not a good place to be I would say.
