the book that lasted 1430 years

So, instead of getting all excited about valentine's day (which has nothing to do with our culture whats so ever) i think i might as well join Mdm.Marina and her friends on the "lets read the Qur'an Campaign."

Here are some of the jist of this campaign. Copied from Mdm.Marina Mahathir's blog.

Peace!

We need your participation!

Campaign name: Let’s Read The Quran


On January 1st 2009, four friends Syed, Walski, Marina and Anas got together at Coffee-Bean Bangsar Village and decided to launch a campaign to encourage people to read and understand the Quran better.

This campaign is not only for Muslims, but also for our brothers and sisters who are Christians, Buddhists Hindus, Sikhs and those who believe in a God-Head but not so gung-ho about being in any brand of religion, too – come join us and share your ideas! You can join this campaign even if you are an atheist!

The goal of this campaign is to encourage people to read the Quran in the language they understand most and find in it areas of common values in our day-to-day living.

What is the Campaign all about?

Read the Quran in the language that you are familiar with.

When will the campaign start and end?

January 15th to February 14th (Happy Valentine’s Day!)

Where?

Participating blogs in the blogosphere.

Why?

So more people know what the Quran says and what the Quran does not say and to match it to what is really said in our daily lives.

Who?

Everyone who wants to – the more the merrier! If you have a Blog, Facebook, etc carry the logo/icon.

How?

- To join the campaign, place the accompanying logo/icon at your blog.
- Write or share short articles based on the Quranic text.
- Share what you find in the Quran with family and friends.
- Ask questions about the Quranic message
- Read the Quran – eg click here http://www.islamicity.com/QuranSearch or www.altafsir.com

a book that lasted 1430 unchanged, what does it say about that? it has been touched and studied by hundred of years and yet the text have not changed at all. it was still the same old words that was spoken when it was came to man.

the words are old but the wisdom is ever lasting.

many have been touched by the forgiveness it brings, the calmness it sets in everyone's heart and the security it gave.

it is a miracle like no other.
