This is in reference to the news item that a mentally disabled Iraq man can read the Qur’ān in reverse, (Radiance, 4-10 August). Certainly, it is no less than a miracle because what he can do is beyond the reach of an individual. It is a gift of the Almighty for Hussain Adnan Sabri who can’t even count properly from one to ten, cannot read and write, and cannot locate his house from the street, but when asked to read the Qur’ān, he can read the Qur’ān in reverse. Even after being mentally challenged he is extraordinary and has the capability to surpass all those well versed in the Qur’ān. While going through this report one may wonder as to how it happened. This is no doubt a unique kind of ability to have been discovered so far.
