RECORDING<br />
Among all the extant religious literature <strong>of</strong> the world, the Holy Qur'an is absolutely<br />
unique. Its recording and preservation are miraculous! Because it stands out distinctly<br />
from the ordinary human pattern <strong>of</strong> narration; the short-sighted and the inimical say that<br />
it is incoherent or incongruous. <strong>The</strong> pattern definitely is different. It is unique. It is<br />
miraculous. Let me substantiate what I assert.<br />
HUMAN STYLE<br />
Every other religious book is set on the pattern <strong>of</strong>, "Once upon a time..." or "<strong>The</strong> fox<br />
and the grapes...the wolf and lamb," etc, etc. i.e.<br />
1<br />
a. IN THE BEGINNING (Once Upon a Time) God created the heaven 29 and the<br />
earth ... (Emphasis added)<br />
Genesis 30 1:1 (HOLY BIBLE)<br />
b. IN THE BEGINNING (Once Upon a Time) was the word, and the word was<br />
with God, and the word was God 31 ... (Emphasis added)<br />
John 1:1 (HOLY BIBLE)<br />
c. THIS IS THE GENEALOGY (<strong>The</strong> Origin, <strong>The</strong> Beginning) <strong>of</strong> Jesus Christ, the son<br />
<strong>of</strong> David, the son <strong>of</strong> Abraham... (Emphasis added)<br />
Matthew 1:1 (HOLY BIBLE)<br />
29 <strong>The</strong> first verse <strong>of</strong> the Bible speaks about "the heaven and the earth " in the singular. In<br />
the holy Qur'an the word earth is always singular whereas the word heavens is in the<br />
plural. Some thing to ponder upon!<br />
30 <strong>The</strong> word "Genesis" itself means the beginning, this is, after all how every human tale<br />
ought to start. It should begin with the "beginning!"<br />
31 In the original Greek manuscripts <strong>of</strong> the new Testament there is no such thing as a<br />
capital letter and a small letter. <strong>The</strong> Christian theologians have contrived capitals<br />
according to their religious predjudices into their translations <strong>of</strong> the Bible ie. God and<br />
god.<br />
