You know one thing I don't get about the qur'an..... all that alif laam meem stuff. Only Allah knows the meaning of certain letters, apparently..... doesn't it kind of discredit everything else in the qur'an? I mean, for all we know it could mean "it's all lies" or "don't follow this shit".
because Mo wanted the Quran to sound as though its from someone other than himself as much as he possibly could.
Its for the "wowzer" effect.
Muslim #1 : hey Ali what do you think Alif, Lam, Meem mean?
Muslim #2: dunno Ahmad I've been trying to figure it out for a long time, its been tedious, alas but to no avail!
Muslim #1: ah incredible! the mysteries of the Quran really overwhelms my intellect. so sublime. Indeed only Allah knows!
Muslim #2: Mashallah!
(non-Muslim has been hearing the whole conversation silently all the while interrupts)
non-Muslim: the fuck yawl sand naggers talking 'bout ? that clearly sounds like some ayrabic shit. How do you not know what it says?
