DUBAI — The Holy Quran is the greatest miracle of Islam and serves as an everlasting source of happiness in this life and hereafter. This was stated by Sheikh Mohammed Hassan, eminent Egyptian scholar, while delivering a lecture titled, ‘The Miracle of the Holy Quran’ on the fourth day of the Dubai International Holy Quran Award’s cultural programme. The lecture was held on Sunday at the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry overlooking Dubai Creek. Sheikh Hassan spotlighted some of the unique aspects of the Holy Quran pointing to its great eloquence and rhetoric, legislative and scientific meanings, and hidden treasures of knowledge. Not a word or phrase in the Holy Quran can ever be replaced, changed, or deleted, he said. It serves as a guidebook for mankind. It is the Holy Quran which stipulated and ensured human rights long ago, Shaikh Hassan stressed. There are verses which reveal scientific facts. One of the Quranic verses says that the skin is the first sensor of pain in human body. This scientific fact was discovered only recently though it was mentioned in the Holy Quran more than 14 centuries ago, Shaikh Hassan said. -(KT, 18 Sep 07)
