The Majestic Quran

5 Fasad is ‘to become bad’, to be spoiled, corrupt, weaken and undermine. Isn’t the environmental pollution we see so wide-spread Fasad ? 6 This refers to a Makkan, Nadhar ibn Harith, who was paid to narrate Persian stories in competition with the Quran. 7 Muqtasid according to Suyuti is “someone who wavers between faith and disbelief.” 8 Literally ‘humble water’, that interestingly contains the entire human genome. 9 Mawa is the name of one of the Heavens; it means a place of refuge and perpetual rest.
