3 Sura ii. 109 and 139. * Sura xxxiii. 52. 6 Sura xxxiii. 49. 8 Sura Ixxiii. 2. 7 Sura Ixxiii. 20. THE BIBLE AND THE QUR'AN 43 recited one day was found to have vanished from the material the next. When inquiry was made, Muhammad merely replied that it had been revoked. 1 Now these remarks on abrogation lead us on to the vital difference between the orthodox Muhammadan and any other person who approaches the study of the book from outside the Muhammadan world. The orthodox and devout Muhammadan... thinks that the Qur'an is the very Word of God, and this accounts for the scrupulous care with which he handles it, the extreme reverence with which he treats it. It has an honoured place in his house, he holds it in a certain way, never places it on the ground, and before he reads it performs an ablution and utters a prayer. The student however who approaches the Qur'an from outside, especially if he has first studied Muhammad's history, and reads the Qur'an as far as possible in chronological order (it is very important to do this the first time, and after reading Muhammad's life), is more and more convinced that it is exactly what you would expect from a man so gifted, and of such a character, at such a time, and under such circumstances.
