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!
