Borrowing Eyes

14/5/2013

 
I do not necessarily agree with all that Dr. Muhammad Shahrur, the Syrian Islamic thinker says. In fact I have not even read any of his works in its entirely. However I found this quote from him very true and fascinating:

“It is easier to build a skyscraper or a tunnel under the sea than to teach people how to read the book of the Lord with their own eyes. They have been used to reading this book with borrowed eyes for hundreds of years”

I totally agree!
