Excerpt from The Spirit and Struggle of IslamIslamic idea] has a value for us to-day is what I have learnt to understand more and more as I have studied the subject. Again and again has Islam produced men and_ women of pro found knowledge - men who, having reached a stage of illumination and ecstasy, have sung songs and lived lives which have, I believe, an eternal meaning for the human race. What a profound philosophy of life is in the lyrics they have left - the lyrics which sing of the nightin gale and the rose, the moth and the candle, the camel and the desert, the 'lover and the lake lyrics of Laila and Majaun, Sasni and Punuh, Umer and Marni, Yusuf and Zulaika, lyrics of the soul's longing for the Love that makes the world, for all its struggles and sufferings, a wonder and a vision of mystery.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
