Mufti Menk – The Most Authentic Book

			You and I know that the Quran is the most authentic by virtue of it not having been changed at all.
Nothing was changed. And some people argue no, this was changed that was bring your books that are
proven to be changed by the masses of today and it's being changed constantly, you will find the
Quran goes back to the furthest point, even if you think and you claim that it was changed, which we
don't agree, you will always find that it goes back further than any other scripture. The point of
argument, so if you say it was changed, we asked you when was he changed? You will come up with the
date perhaps according to you, that would be far behind the dates of the other scriptures being
		

			tampered with. May Allah grant us the understanding that this is indeed a divine book, another
beautiful point. The Quran is the only heavenly book wherein you find Allah Almighty, or the one
whose word it is the one who revealed it is addressing the messenger and the messages for us. So
he's addressing the messenger or addressing us. It's not a disciple talking. It's not someone else
speaking, it's not a third party, having compiled books and so on. The Quran has a uniqueness and
this is why those who've read the other scriptures and I've read a lot of other scriptures,
		

			they would be able to tell immediately as they opened the Quran, that this is something unique
because it has in it the direct addressing of the maker himself. So because the Light upon light
this year is themed upon the Quran and the divinity of the Quran. I started off by letting you know
indeed, it is an amazing book. It's the only book in existence that you can actually memorize from
cover to cover without a single mistake. I know people who can read it so many who can read it from
cover to cover with all its stops and pauses and the different disciplines of learning within the
recitation of the Quran, the translation of the Quran without making a blunder. No other book not
		

			even the short booklets that people write.
		

			No other book is memorized in that particular way. It's amazing
