From the literary point of view, the Koran has little merit. Declamation, repetition, puerility, a lack of logic and coherence strike the unprepared reader at every turn. It is humiliating to the human intellect to think that this mediocre literature has been the subject of innumerable commentaries, and that millions of men are still wasting time in absorbing it." (Orpheus, Salmon Reinach, 1932. See page 175 of the book here). Salomon Reinach
About This Quote

The Koran is a book of wisdom and it’s the only sacred scripture of Islam. A lot of people think that it is a book of falsehood and they also think that it is nonsense. However, the truth is that this book contains all kinds of things which are useful for one’s life. For instance, when you read this book in the correct way, you will get many benefits in your daily life.

You can use these kinds of things in your life to make your life more successful. I think that this book is not nonsense at all. The Prophet (peace be upon him) has written this book which contains useful information about everything in the world.
