QSI: Seerah Of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) #41 - The Battle of Badr (pt.6)

“So that tells us that the Quran was responsible for them turning from a very, I would say, pragmatic people --- that's what they were, pragmatic.  From a very pragmatic people, looking at just what happens in the eyesight, or just what their own intelligence could verify, they started to believe in something.  They started to believe in more than just themselves, they started to trust G'd's guidance, and something happened to their brains.  Their brains were illuminated, and they became scientists, leaders for the scientific world at that time, for at least about seven hundred or more years, they were the leaders for the world at that time.” Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra) "My True Self" Detroit,  MI  9/27/97
