The Qu'ran is God's song, not ours, not even Muhammad's. To allow such a song to pass through one's body, however imperfectly, is to discover that the instrument is transformed by the music.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the power and transcendence of the Qu'ran, the holy book of Islam. It suggests that the Qu'ran is not merely a human creation or the product of prophet Muhammad, but rather a divine composition. By allowing oneself to engage with and absorb the teachings of the Qu'ran, one undergoes a transformative experience. The metaphor of music and instrument implies that individuals who are receptive to the Qu'ran's message can become vessels of its profound impact, regardless of their imperfections.
