8. The fact that the person who says 'Masnavi is a
commentary of the Qur'an' is being crossed and
responded as 'why should not Masnavi be the Qur'an?'
His son and successor, Sultan Walad narrates:
One of our companions complained to my father saying, 'Some
scholars (danishmandan) argued with me, saying, 'Why do they
call the Masnawi the Qur'an?'
I responded, 'It is a commentary (tafsir) on the Qur'an.'
My father [i.e., Rumi] was silent for a moment. Then he said, 'O dog!
Why shouldn't it be? O, donkey! Why shouldn't it be? O, your-sis-
ter's-a-whore! Why shouldn't it be?'

The Qur'an is unique and matchless
Say: 'If all the sea was ink to write down the Words of my Lord, it
would run out long before the Words of my Lord ran out,' even if We
were to bring the same amount of ink again. (Qur'an, 18:109)
If We Had sent down this Qur'an onto a mountain, you would have
seen it humbled, crushed to pieces out of fear of God. We make such
examples for people so that hopefully they will reflect. (Qur'an, 59:21)
Do they say, 'He has invented it'? Say: 'Then produce a sura like it and
call on anyone you can besides God if you are telling the truth.'
(Qur'an, 10:38)
