The Book of Perfect Harmony

“Imagine trying to compile a book, where the words you chose would end up in perfect harmony. Wouldn’t that be an incredibly difficult task?

Envision then, you are composing pages of this book, from time to time over a couple of decades, while doing other things, like running a small business, teaching, and moving to another city, where you become the mayor.

People take notes as you recite these compositions to them and eventually you complete the book, by not writing any more. All this without a complete copy of the book in front of you to proofread!

After you pass on, people then collect these pages together.

Is it reasonable to suggest that such a book could even exist, possessing perfect linguistic balance and harmony, while still carrying a most profound message?

This analogy is very similar to how the Holy Qur’an was revealed, and indeed it does possess such a symmetry, along with many other unique characteristics.

If you haven’t already, maybe it’s time to have a read yourself, if nothing else, to satiate your curiosity…”

Allah Is The Light!

“God is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His light is, as it were, that of a niche containing a lamp; the lamp is [enclosed] in glass, the glass [shining] like a radiant star: [a lamp] lit from a blessed tree – an olive-tree that is neither of the east nor of the west – the oil whereof [is so bright that it] would well-nigh give light [of itself] even though fire had not touched it: light upon light! God guides unto His light him that wills [to be guided]; and [to this end] God propounds parables unto men, since God [alone] has full knowledge of all things.”
~ Holy Qur’an 24:35 (M. Asad)
