While quran does have its fair share of "law verses" which dictate what should be eaten and some asking for amputations and lashing , just like old testament books. 

However to be honest , there's 99 names of allah which I found pretty impressed with . 

Al asma al husna as it is called 

One of the best names I found in it was al-haasib meaning "the accounter" or "the bringer of judgement" , the god who settles accounts of people, communities and countries. Like for example if someone is oppressed and oppressor is too big , god is still al-haasib, he makes justice to the oppressed 

some of the other beautiful names are 

al-kabir : the greatest

some names have opposite names , which kind of make sense because god can be both opposites : like al-Muhyi 'giver of life' and al-muhit ' the bringer of death' 

al-awwal 'the beginning' , al-akhir 'the ending'

al-mani ' the shielder' , adh-dhaar ' the harmer' , makes sense because god shields the pious and destroys the wicked

 

I think islam had some potential of being a good religion, and has a tint of beautiful spirituality as well ,but somewhere along the line things got screwed badly

The "kaafir" concept spoiled things further
