For this 4-part series to be more relevant and meaningful to Muslims I recommend that you read my Blogpost Four Hundred first. It contains about a hundred quotes and excerpts on the subjects of Knowledge, Intellect, Creation, Science and Religion made by the Noble Quran, Prophet Muhammad, Aga Khan IV, Aga Khan III, Imam Ali, Imam Jafar As Sadiq, Abu Yakub Al Sijistani, Nasir Khusraw, Hamiduddin Al Kirmani, Albert Einstein, Aristotle and Azim Nanji:
