Brotherhood Of The Wolf - The Runelords 02 David Farland PROLOGUE The week of Hostenfest began with a festive air at the Castle at Tal Rimmon in northern Mystarria. On the first morning of Hostenfest, the spirit of the Earth King came as usual.

A typical Muslim’s answer would be like this: ‘ because Islam is the right religion and the only one that is accepted by Allah’. Having made such a confident start, Muslims wait impatiently to hear the next question which they predict and to which they also have a readymade answer: What is the evidence? ‘The evidence is in the Quran, which is a living language miracle’, would be a typical Muslim’s answer. That is the moment Muslims usually wait for; to highlight the ‘fact’ that Islam is the only religion that has a living miracle. However, the joy comes to an end once you ask for the evidence that the Quran is a language miracle, because no Muslim can provide satisfactory evidence. Only a few Muslim Arabs would take the risk and try to answer that last question; the others would rather refer you to the ‘experts’ on the grounds that such issues about the Quran should be discussed only by to the experts. Still they would insist that the logical conclusion must be that the Quran is a miracle because: 1.

The early Arabs were stunned when they heard the Quran. (A big lie) 2.

The Quran is praised by top Arab writers and poets, past and present. (A Big lie) 3. Allah challenged the Arabs to produce a sura like it but they all failed. (A big lie) 1. The first big lie: The early Arabs were stunned by the Quran.

I refuted the first big lie in my previous article ‘when the Arab intellectuals debated Mohammed’, which provided indisputable proof from the Islamic history and the Quran that the Meccan Arabs believed the Quran was erroneous and full with old myths. They even believed that Mohammed was mad for producing such a flawed work.

The second big lie: The Quran is praised by top Arab writers and poets, past and present Let us see what did the top Arab writers and poets think of the Quran. Freedom of expression in Pre Islamic Arabia. The linguistic talent was the main cultural expression in pre Islamic Arabia and reached its peak just before the rise of Islam. Indeed, the Arabs’ passion to poetry never waned throughout history, and even today, their craze to this art has no equal.

The immediate influence of Islam on Arabic poetry, in other words on the Arab’s main cultural expression, was dramatic- Islam killed the Arabs passion for poetry. It took over a century to revive the art of Arabic poetry to recover from the devastating blow of Islam. Mohammed hated the poets because they attracted the Arabs’ attention and distracted them from listening to his Quran. In addition, some poets produced works, called hijaa, which ridiculed Mohammed. In pre Islamic Arabia, poetry had a status in the society similar to today’s free press; the poets were the writers, journalists and chroniclers. Their poems were the testimonies of their fine culture, traditions and ethos.
