>What would you think of a book that is consistently a best seller :)
ADNAN As far as I know, the Quran is the most read book in the world. So what does this proves, Matt? Here is an other one: my guess is that the Quran is the only book which is memorized from cover to cover by hundred of thousands (probably millions) of people by heart. Now, Matt, what would you think? By the way, most Muslims from non-Arab countries such as South Asia, East Asia, West Africa, etc., etc., do not understand what they reading, or memorizing, because they do not understand Arabic (and they still read the Quran in Arabic!). They read/memorize the Quran in Arabic for SAWAB/Baraka (I don't know how to translate this word into English, may be Rob Squires can help). It is like Bible being the best seller, but people don't read it, so the Quran being the most read book, but most non-Arab Muslims do not understand what they are reading!
