Is the Quran a Musahafah?
The prophet Muhammad didn't write the Quran down, it was never written down during his lifetime. It was actually collected on stones and leaves by the third caliph in one book. The Sufi way would say that listen, I'm not going to say to you, you have to follow me. This is like the Sharia, it means the path to water in the desert. You go to water for life, and then you carry on traveling. So if we can understand what we've lost when we put words down in writing is we lost the relational aspect of the technology.
