Ratan: Did they know about diabetes when Holy Quran "was sent down from heaven, or is it a modification of Quran based on later knowledge of the dangers of fasting with diabetes? I knew I could count on you to pose that question. Yes, by historical accounts, the Muslim world knew about diabetes during the life and times of the prophet. Infants & children, the infirm, the diseased,& the disabled are given a reprieve during Ramadan. when the prophet Muhammad was in a state of trance inside a cave in the mountains, the prophet heard a voice coming from Gabriel towards the end of Ramadan. The high-born prophet-Quraysh - was an UMMI (unschooled) spoke such a learned prose to the scribes, that Mohammad was regarded as a prophet. He became polygamous amounting to 12 wives, after the death of his employer/wife Kadija, 15 years his senior. Mohammad's vision of Gabriel according to Joseph Campbell is known as Essential Schizophrenia as opposed to Paranoid Schizophrenia, which is a pathological condition. As IN THE CASE OF SWAMI RAMAKRISHNA PARMAHAMSA, essential schizophrenia is a total withdrawal from all sensory inputs from the outside world and total focus on the unconscious. The unconscious takes over and dictates the behaviour of the revealed person. This was the case in Ramakrishna Paramhamsa, when he had visions of Kali. JPR
