‘Ali Abbas, abbas@seas.gwu.edu The Muslims in the life time of the Prophet (S) were brought up to learn the Qur'an as Ibadat (Devotion), to recite it as Devotion, to write it down as Devotion, to teach their children and other people and make them learn it by heart and understand it as Devotion. They became so familiar with it that they used the verses of the Holy Qur’an in their daily conversation.

History records that Janab e Fidah, the noble Abysinian housemaid of Hazrat Fatima Az-Zahra, the Lady of Paradise, the daughter of the Holy Prophet (S) was in the habit of using the verses and words of the Quran in her conversation. Abul Qasim Qashiri relates the dialogue between Fidah and Abdullah bin Mubarak; I saw a woman passing through the desert who had fallen behind the caravan, and asked her “Who are you and where are you from ?” She said : “ Say Salaam! ....

Soon shall ye know it .” ( Chapter 6 Verse 67 ) I learned that she expected me to greet her and say Assalamu Alaikum first, before any question. I did as she reminded, and inquired why she was in this desert. She answered : “ Whomesoever God guideth, then none shall beguille . “ (Chapter 39 Verse 37) I gathered that she was left behind and thus restless, so I asked again are you a human being or a jinn? She returned : “ O children of Adam!

Be Ye adorned at every time of prostration … “(Chapter 7 Verse 31) I discovered that she was a human being, so I continued my enquiry, Where are you coming from? She said : “.... Who are called to from a place far off. “ (Chapter 41 Verse 44 ) I found out that she was coming from a place far off and inquired her destination. She immediately responded : “ ........ And for God is incumbent upon mankind the Pilgrimage of the House.....

“ (Chapter 3 Verse 97 ) I realized that she was going for Hajj (Pilgrimage of the Kaaba ), and asked her how many days she had been travelling? She told me: “ Indeed created We ( God ) the heavens and the earth and what is between them to in Six days . “ (Chapter 7 Verse 54) and (Chapter 50 Verse 38 ) I concluded it was six days.
