Ebook The Korân

It is well for all who study the Koran to realize that the actual text is never the composition of the Prophet, but is the word of God addressed to the Prophet; and that in quoting the Koran the formula is He (may he be exalted) said or some such phrase. The Prophet himself is of course quoted by Muhammadan theologians, but such quota tions refer to his traditional sayings known as Hadis, which have been handed down from mouth to mouth with the strictest regard to genealogical continuity.
