Journey

Trial & Triumph  
 For three and twenty years, in patience, conflict, hope and final triumph, did this Prophet of God  receive and teach the message of the Most High. It came, like the fruit of the soul's own yearning, to teach profound spiritual truths, answer questions, appeal to men in their doubts and fears, help and put heart in them in moments of trial, and ordain for them laws by which they could live in society lives of purity, goodness and peace.

Imprints on the Heart 
 These messages came as inspiration to Muhammad as the need arose, on different occasions and in different places: he received them, and they were recorded by the Pen: they were imprinted on his heart and mind, and on the memory of his loving disciples: as the body of sacred Scripture grew, it was arranged for purposes of public prayer and reading; this is the Book, or the Reading, or the Qur'an.
