The more I read Burkhdarts account of Ancient Greek culture and civilisation, the more it feels like the Greeks purposely opted for the most radical and debauch cultural practices just to spite their neighbours—The Persians.

My deeply amusing contribution to Forteana that I pray nobody will take too seriously

"Come, harken! Come, harken!
A Prophet is born!

With a hungry stand
For the tyrant band
No longer may they scorn

Come and let his light fill up your heart
Come and let your troubles all depart
The full moon now is born!"

Al-Suhrawardi recounts a dream where Aristotle tells him that Plato is the greatest “Muslim Philosopher” to have ever existed and that no philosopher past or present can attain the glories which Plato had earned.

It was only amongst the Greeks that adoration for Beauty went to such lengths that they even considered their enemies who were beautiful and good-looking as superhuman demigods and killing them a sinful act.

“Ahmed, the very thought of Thee
With sweetness fills my breast;
But sweeter far Thy face to see,
And in Thy presence rest.

Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,
Nor can the memory find
A sweeter sound than Thy blest Name,
O Saviour of mankind!”

@Muslim_Again @loveologian I’m planning on rereading it by the end of this year aswell. Gems of knowledge in there

@Muslim_Again @loveologian You mean Shah Waliullahs division of the Caliphate into Batin and Zahir

@Obelion07 @Covenant_watch talks about this

[л @yetooshi]

@bookingacount The last few chapters talk about it extensively but this phenomenon was pretty big considering Fosters passage of India literally revolves around it.

Reading pashtun chieftain memoirs from the third Anglo-Afghan war repeatedly complaining about the replacement of “English aristocrats” with low class “white trash” who don’t bother to speak Pashto, excessively demand bribes, have poor hygiene and carry a hatred for religion.

@loveologian This is a very mystical understanding aswell to which people don’t give Al-Razi his due credit for he is a “rational thinker”. I think to characterise any Muslim polemicist into fixed binaries is just dishonest reading cause these people are so much more complex.
