An Infl uential Book
Our beloved Prophet (pbuh) used to read the Qur’an with his
beautiful voice every evening in his courtyard when he lived
in Mecca. Th e Qur’an used to leave such an impact on people
that even non-believing Meccans would secretly come out
at night to listen to the reading of it. One evening, as usual,
three leading Meccans secretly came to listen to the Prophet
(pbuh) recite the Qur’an. Th ey came across each other as they
were heading for home. Th ey couldn’t tell each other that the
reason why they were there was to listen to the reading of the
Qur’an. However, they each knew the reality of the situation.
Fancy denying the Qur’an and yet be coming in secret to listen
to its recitation. How would they explain themselves if anyone
heard about it? Th ey each gave their word to never come
and listen to the reading of the Qur’an again- aft er all what
if someone were to see them? However, they could not resist
the temptation and returned secretly again the next day. Th e
Qur’an was able to, in this way, profoundly aff ect even those
who denied it.
