Centuries-old Quran copy found in local US church
By: Mohamed Ali
BOSTON, The United States: A researcher Hank Pierce has
found a translation of the holy Quran that was published in 1795. He
went to the Universalist Church to check out some old books that are
part of the library of the Rev. David Osgood, who served the church
300 years ago.
According to Pierce the small brown book shows that Osgood "has a real
intellectual curiosity."
"Here he was at the end of the American Revolution and it was a time
of great change. Here was a religious book and he wanted to see what
it had to say," Pierce told.
At the time the book was published, there weren't any Muslims living
in Massachusetts, Pierce said.

"Knowledge is
better than wealth because it protects you while you have to
guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the
more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you
get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
