saalam
video not working for me
:salam2:try copy pasting the address above , this happens sometimes with you tube,the actual documentary was muxh longer but there are no english subtitles yet available for the whole,it is based on the studies and a series of books made at the Goethe university of Frankfurt,given the fact that he himself Johan Wolfgang Von Goethe was a facinated by Islam and big admirer of prophet Muhammad
of course.
here is an extract of one of his poems!
«Jesus fühlte rein und dachte
Nur den Einen Gott im Stillen;
Wer ihn selbst zum Gotte machte
Kränkte seinen heil'gen Willen.
Und so muß das Rechte scheinen
Was auch Mahomet gelungen;
Nur durch den Begriff des Einen
Hat er alle Welt bezwungen.»
(WA I, 6, 288 ff)
translation
Jesus felt purely and thought
the only true god in silence
He who makes him into a god
Sickens his holy will
This is how truth shines through
what Muhammad could achieve,
only trough the concept of the one
the whole world he conquered! haha poems dont really sound the same when translated
"Oberhaupt der Geschöpfe - Muhammed." (WA I, 6, 482)
"The best of creation-Muhammad"
He is also quoted to have said "I wanna pray like Moses in the Quran"
He also felt deep inside the enormity of lalatu al quadr when he got a little older.
He believed that prophet muhammad was the messenger of God! this was a littler more than tolerance according to me! allahu aalaam what his lasts words were.He said in his west Östlichen Divan,
"Er ist Prophet und nicht Poet und daher auch sein Koran als göttliches Gesetz und nicht etwa als menschliches Buch, zum Unterricht oder zum Vergnügen, anzusehen." (Noten und Abhandlungen zum West-Östlichen Divan, WA I, 7, 32)
Translated
"He was a prophet not a poet ,consequently his Quran is a godly law and not to be taught as a human book or that should be regarded as an object of pleasure and amusement!"
when his niece died from cholera he wrote a letter to one of his friends that ends with "|The only thing i can do is to search comfort in Islam!"
There are alot of quotes and writing from Goethe about islam,only rememeber a few of them the documentation however is huge.Hence this shows just how much Islam has influenced the philosophy the development of thought of probably one of the greatest European thinkers of all time.And anyone who sees Voltaire s theater play as merely hate towards Islam, is also mistaking he used it to indirectly attack the churches and their religious fanatism but he couldn t point the fingers towards them at ther risk of being exiled, banned and boycotted by the cardinals that is why he took Islam.Even Voltaire used to quote the quran in his books with admiration.just a thought..
wassalaam
