Dr. Seyyed Hossein Nasr-Islam: Truth and Beauty

[@maudemurray]

When he was 23, and I was 17, I met Seyyed Hossein Nasr in a classroom, at Harvard University, 1956. With less than a sentence from him, I believed in God; my life was changed forever; I became a Muslim, and followed I'm in becoming a disciple of HIS master, Frithjof Schuon. Now I'm 81 and he must be 87. I see a treasure chest, full of knowledge AND wisdom. He gave me a Real Life, an entry into Truth: therefore, I would forgive absolutely anything, and be grateful forever. It is still ESSENTIAL for all those who admire him, as do I, to realize that he is one of the two main successors of Frithjof Schuon; and he is he only disciple of HIS master, whose actual life was affected by his master. This is exceedingly delicate; but it is necessary to understand Frithjof Schuon and the relationship between the two men, to situate the great Dr. Nasr correctly. Moereover, everyone seeking Truth, needs to understand a spiritual mystery which is in the life and doctrines of Frithjof Schuon. To situate his two main successors, Seyyed Hossein Nasr and Martin Lings (as well as all others) everyone should read at least the home page on this site: frithjofschuon.wordpress.com

thnx 4 share simply amazing very amazing, highly intellectual

[@abooswalehmosafeer173]

A scholar's ink is holier than the blood of a martyr. No place for narrow primitive reflexive binary amygdalaish Instinctive atavistic myopic response to Another Person. Respect love truth and beauty are the slogans we ought to abide. No place for "I am better than you". No place for judgementality. All this requires Tough Discipline A great deal of Humility. There is Greatness in All Religions of the Earth to deal with the Mystery of Life and Living ,Dying and Death ... We are today in the Space Epoch Artificial Intelligence Gender Revolutions and Evolutions.As long as there is Peace and Love for Peace hard to see how we can detract. Bless us All who are curious and want to learn how diverse the whole Humanity is. Ameen. Some people like Dr Nassr work laboriously looking For Truth and Beauty in each of us and in nature.

Isn't beauty subjective? Then what about the truth?

[@nasirfazal5440]

But it is ok to hide beauty under the niqab,hijab.

A shark devouring a small fish is ugly and is a part of life. So how is everything in nature beautiful? What about the earthquakes, tsunamis etc?

[@yojan9238]

Everything made by HIM (God) are beautiful. That's why Muslims doesn't blame God for calamities happened to them. You can find more informations through the writings of Ibn Arabi, Abu Yazid al-Bustami and other Sufistic writings.

[@rayparsa3069]

This guy is a charlatan. Everything ugly is beautiful because Allah created everything. What complete nonsense!

Islam is paganism

[@didmir6147]

It’s obvious You don’t know Islam

[@paulm283]

@ you need to do some research on it before you make a judgement call on it

[@paulm283]

@ Islam is total paganism like Roman Catholic religion Mormon religion any of the mystery religions, if you’ll do some simple reading on Islamic histories you’ll see its total paganism. I took me a few months to learn about it, you can do the same if you’re interested in the truth.

[@p.h.freitas6727]

A religion that allows sex slavery will never be beautiful and true, no matter how many artistic and philosophical ornaments you put on it.

[@George-iv1hi]

Truth of islam: flat earth, beauty of islam: you can beat your woman.

[@George-iv1hi]

@abdulsattarali8220 Stupid person, do you even understand English? Where have I said "you MUST BEAT YOUR WIFE"? Islam makes it LAWFUL to beat your woman if you think she is not obedient - is that from god, the creator of billion galaxies or is that from stupid hateful Bedouin who wants to control their sex-slaves with beating? Islam is pure paganism and slavery from medieval times. It has no place in our modern world.

[@didmir6147]

How ignorant a statement

How Ignorant you are

[@desertportal353]

A most narrow and presumptuous view of art. As if he knows what god has whispered in those awful 'moderns' ears. A pretty pedantic and uninspired talk actually. Lots of opportunity missed in favor of his own narrow view, a view that is actually more inclusive than he may suspect, based on his own very words here. Why do I think that he has no direct experience of God.....

[@anklebreaka03]

because your presumptions and bias are blinding you, to the beauty

[@rayparsa3069]

Nasr mentions the "Iranian Revolution" and him being in London when it happened, but he fails to mention that two months before the Shah left Iran, Nasr co-authored an infamously damaging speech (for the Shah -- along with Reza Ghotbi), which fueled the fire of the radical Islamic revolution.

[@hossein6689]

shah was fake and weak, his father brought to power by british then they throw him out as he shown interest in hitler.
