&lt;!--?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;UTF-8&quot;?--&gt;

Muslims all over the globe learn to &quot;recite&quot; the Qur&#39;an. Recitation for them is an act of poetic reading&amp;nbsp;with an automatic assignment of magnanimity to the words. Oddly though in the Non-Arab word, more often than not, the words have no meaning to the reciter other than a genetic aura of Godliness and Royalty. If&amp;nbsp;people were to read the Qur&#39;an like they&#39;d read any other book , you can&#39;t just go through words without appreciation and some level of understanding of what they mean. It is rather uncharacteristic to a reader that he is going through pages and pages of a book&amp;nbsp;with no active consideration to the meaning but it does become a normal occurrence with recitation. There is a lot of activity in this world which is cab be tagged as &quot;auto-pilot&quot; and lacks proper rational thought, and it is&amp;nbsp;a shame that the same&amp;nbsp;act of&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;unconscious doing has been applied to the Qur&#39;an, and even more shame that it has been done so by&amp;nbsp;those who themselves believe and even propagate it as the most authentic and the most noble of written texts.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
