Reception

Ali Khamenei appreciates the book and says: "Davenport was non-Muslim but since he was a man of knowledge and understanding, when he looks at the truths of Quran and the stronghold of the verses of this book, he understands that these truths are not from the limited human mind and are hence undeniable."
