A CANADIAN PSYCHOLOGIST<br />
I had the privilege <strong>of</strong> sharing my thoughts on the first call<br />
<strong>of</strong> Muhummed (pbuh), as contained in the first five verses <strong>of</strong> Súra <strong>Al</strong>-'<strong>Al</strong>aq (chapter 96)<br />
as seen on page 35, a young man from Canada. I was taking him on a guided tour <strong>of</strong> the<br />
largest Mosque in the southern hemisphere. Whilst chatting, I enquired as to his<br />
occupation. He said that he was doing a post-graduate course, majoring in psychology.<br />
"Psychology?" I said, and immediately drew his attention to the first five verses <strong>of</strong> the<br />
chapter under discussion. I asked him as to how he would account for the Message and<br />
experience <strong>of</strong> Muhummed (pbuh), speaking about "Reading, Writing and learning<br />
things unknown before," things which were not his immediate problem nor the problem<br />
<strong>of</strong> his people. How could the subjective mind <strong>of</strong> man, as if out <strong>of</strong> the blue 38 rehearse<br />
these words. I said, "Account for it!" He said that he could not. He confessed that he had<br />
already grappled with that problem. I said, "In that case we would have to accept the man<br />
at his word." And I quoted the first verses from Súra Najm:<br />
39 40 41 42<br />
38 Blue: as from nowhere!<br />
39 "By the Star:" an oath, an adjuration.<br />
40 Meaning Muhummed (pbuh) the Messenger <strong>of</strong> God.<br />
41 Inspiration: Our concept <strong>of</strong> the revelation to Muhummed (pbuh) is a verbal<br />
inspiration. <strong>The</strong> words <strong>of</strong> the Holy Qur'an were so to say "put into his mouth" (Deut.<br />
18:18). Get your FREE copy <strong>of</strong> "What the BIBLE says about MUHUMMED (pbuh)"<br />
