Ramadan Day 23: Verses from the Quran

Thu Oct 27, 2005 at 06:05:08 PM PDT

Each day during Ramadan, I am presenting a verse from the Quran with a few thoughts or comments. An introduction to this series is here. Inshallah (God willing), I hope that this may be of benefit to any who are interested in learning a bit more about Islam and Muslim belief.

Quran 39:23:

Allah has sent down the most beautiful saying, a Scripture, consistent and repeating; the skin of those who fear their Lord shivers at it, then their skin and their hearts soften to the remembrance of Allah. That is the guidance of Allah. He guides whom He wills. And whom He sends astray, for him there is no guidance
Have you ever been reading a passage in Scripture and felt your skin shiver and your heart soften? This is a sign when you recognize Truth in what you read.

I love this verse because of its vivid description of what this experience is like.

I hope that all who follow a Scripture have felt this when reading it sometimes.
