The seen and the unseen

The seen and the unseen  © Greeks Rethink Last summer I made a resolution – not exactly an oath, but a strong resolution – to memorise the last part (the 30th part) of the Noble Qur’an by end of Ramadan. Now, compared to the daunting task of memorising the whole book achieved by hundreds of thousands of Muslims around the world – most of which aren’t even Arab or don’t even speak Arabic, the task ahead of me seemed a humble one.
