Quote of the Month
"Muslims have often expressed their experience of the Qur'an in an array of metaphors.The Qur'an has, for example, been compared to a brocade: 'The patterned beauty of its true design bears an underside which the unwary may mistake, seeing what is there but not its real fullness. ... It is like the pearl for which the diver must plunge to break the shell which both ensures and conceals treasure."
