Reading

It is not unusual for Muslims to know the Koran – the Islamic Holy book – by heart. Like others Mohammed Hussain Tabatabai has memorised the entire Koran and, when asked, can recite any of the 6,000 verses. But what is even more astonishing is that he can also understand and interpret the text. Why? Because Mohammed Hussain is just a boy, and one who has the confidence to give a lecture on the teachings of the prophet Mohammed, who died nearly 1400 years ago. For Muslims the Koran is the word of God. It is written in classical Arabic. For a young boy to learn the Koran, understand it, and to explain it to adults, is remarkable.
