Muhammad Asad Interview

An interview with Muhammad Asad from 1988.

[@athanasiosdalakouras6148]

Muslim or not, listening to this man is a blissful experience which will most probably make you a better person. Politeness and intellectual integrity have a contagious effect.

[@trendsrover]

He were Muslim and most spend his life in Pakistan and british india

[@sajkhan11]

Athanasios , He still remains a Jewish intellectual for me as Jews are not only people like Menachem Beghin, Goldmann or Benjamin Nethanyahu etc. May Allah grant this gentleman place in Jannah.

[@Bot-gy9gx]

Wise words my Shia brother

[@abdullahlaghari1445]

Muhammad asad was not shia .he was deputed by qauid e azam Muhammad Ali jinnah to write guidelines for future constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan 🇵🇰but due to abrupt death of Muhammad Ali jinnah. The job was not completed. Later on he represented Pakistan 🇵🇰on various diplomatic assignments.

A man who shapes my life to think in a different way. To understand Islam as a best ultimate way of life for all human being. When I read his book " THE ROAD TO MECCA" actually three times my realization was that this only one book can be source of more than 100 PhD research topics. I am quite sure that His work will help the world and truth seekers centuries after centuries. May Allah grant Him highest place in the heaven.

[@sadafsamreen2804]

where exactly he says dajjal is a metaphor for west and materialism? (according to me it's real dajjal will come and will cause many torture threats on muslims who believe in only Allah. But you know later that mehdi a.s will also come era when Muslims be ruling over the world in a righteous manner these incidents will take place just that we don't know exactly when InshaAllah. That's the reason transgression oppression is raising very high because illuminati ,zionism are on dajjal side. Now where the confusion is that is jesus dead and had a mortal death then that's not true he was saved by Allah from that filthy act coming on him on hanging him on cross, Allah has not clearly mentioned certain event details and we shouldn't be more focussing on what not said we know and believe isa a.s. was saved by Allah paq just before the attack on him.) Now on asad's commentary idk exactly can you tell me in words what are you trying to say? Is it something like you think he didn't translated correctly or did some misinformation I really want to know because everyone recommending this eng version idk i want to have a proper guide so that's why I'm asking you what are your opinions

Hi everyone, just checking in again. I'm glad to see so many people are enjoying/benefiting from this upload. I'd definitely recommend reading The Road to Mecca and his translation of the Quran if you found the interview interesting. I'm not from a Muslim background or even religious but I found them both to be extremely informative and the Road to Mecca is just a great read even if you have no interest in religion.

[@msa11387]

May the Lord of heaven and earth rewards him the ultimate paradise!

[@VerdantJedi]

I only use his tafsir and explanations alone. I don't bother with other types of tafsirs... His translations are the most intellectually worthy. He often emphasised on the importance of the allegorical/metaphorical meaning of the quran.

[@ahfauq]

I am overjoyed to see this interview. Asad's contribution to Islam is indeed beyond question. But his most important contribution is his scholarly views about some of the orientalist-based controversies surrounding Islam. He studied classical interpretation of Islam with a critical mind but went ahead with adopting his own personal analysis of the Qur'anic verses. No doubt his translation (and interpretation of the Qur'an) sinks right into an inquiring mind.

It's 2023 and I just finished reading "the road to Mecca".

I just love his desire toward Islam😢, his call for Muslims to wake up and to shine in this world too rather than adopting western culture. I love his way of thinking intellectually,his philosophical knowledge,his politeness,his adventures, his humour and everything. May Allah grant him with jannatil Firdhous and good grave life. And I pray for every other characters like Elsa, Zaid... a very beautiful hereafter. Every Muslim or non Muslim should read this book it's really life changing. I hope more and more people read this book. So we can make the islamic world a role model. I adore you Muhammad Asad! What a great man you were😢
