Das A und O
OH im Islamologie-Seminar:
lā ilāha illā ʾLLĀH, muḥammadun rasūlu ʾLLĀH, ist das A und O!
… Ich fand’s lustig. 😀
A Rainbow of Thoughts
[…] His vast, mild head overhung by a canopy of vapor, engendered by his incommunicable contemplations, and that vapor—as you will sometimes see it—glorified by a rainbow as if Heaven itself had put its seal upon his thoughts. For, d’ye see, rainbows do not visit the clean air; they only irradiate vapor. And so, through all the thick mists of the dim doubts in my mind, divine intuitions now and then shoot, enkindling my fog with a heavenly ray. And for this I thank God; for all have doubts; but doubts or denials, few along with them, have intuitions.
— H. Melville, 1851, Moby-Dick, Chapter 85
I can’t express how much this last sentiment resonated with me … this is exactly the feeling when you’re looking for a solution to a problem for days and in one moment: there it is; the solution laid out so clearly … when God lifts the cloak of ignorance for a second, allowing you an insight into what seemed incomprehensible just moments ago … a flash of insight sparking, kindling further thoughts … fearing it will dim out before it can be burned into memory … *sigh* those moments -.-
Ghazali gegen Geistiges Eigentum

— Al-Ghazali, Elixir der Glückseligkeit, S. 39
In dinu veritas
Lese mal wieder Imam Ghazalis “Elixier der Glückseligkeit”. Projekttitel: “in دِينُ veritas” 😀
Suspicious for Not Braking the Law
No one is saying that you broke any laws. We’re just saying: it’s a little bit weird that you didn’t have to.

System Administrators
System administrators are like janitors for the Internet. They have keys to everything, they make sure you’re warm and safe and if they do their job well you won’t even know they’re there.
… and like all people keeping infrastructure running they are grossly under-payed. 😉
Mögen Sie keine Journalisten?
Mögen Sie keine Journalisten?
Das habe ich nicht gesagt. Ich sage nur: Was sie meinen, ist selten das, was ich meine.
aus einem SZ-Interview mit Kit Armstrong … danke Kübra. 🙂
Hat mich irgendwie an meinen “Interviews und was draus wird“-Post erinnert. 😉
Rejecting What’s False
Taqwa necessitates rejecting something that’s false, even if it supports your opinion.
from Hamza Yusuf in his Maliki Fiqh series (part 1)
