Hi there,

I think Eliff you are greatly misunderstanding the issue.

You are saying that you want to memorise the Quran to be blessed. This is NOT a purpose. I think that you are trying to find a short cut to memorise this book (and AKB your true intention). The act of memorising this book is to struggle and sweat and spend time, a long, long time, in this act of devotion. I must also correct you - a muslim woman (or man???) does not memorise this book in 10 days and never has. There there never been such a case. It takes years and years for a Hafiz (a person who has memorised this book) to complete this arduous task, but never 10 days, 10 weeks or possibly 10 months. There are about 78,000 words in the Quran and with the grammatical and diacritical combinations, I would go further as to suggest that PR will never be able to give someone the ability to do what you are asking but in can be used a tool to help.

I think that you are trying to impress people with the goal of what you want to do (notice I say goal and not purpose). The true goal of memorising this book is not to impress people but to do this as an act of devotion to God.

I would strongly disagree with you on specifying this particular book's title - it would be sufficient to say Arabic Text. I would also disagree with you (this is a forum!) with the aim of what you are doing and suggest that PR should be used as ONE tool to achieve your goal of memorising the Quran, the purpose of which is to bring you closer to God through struggle and endurance or the correct term for these 2 words is 'jihad'.

Also, why can't religious scholars be called holy men? 'Holy' means religious and the term holy men in any part of the world is a term used, in general, to refer to religious scholars. This is not a theological forum but a discussion forum and it is irrelevant about using the exact word as long as the general meaning is indicated.

But I digress - I would advise anyone that is PRing, to think about PURPOSE and not get this mixed up with goals.

Finally, A K B !
