it was amazing

I have translated this book, into Arabic, with my dear friend/ brother Ali Reda.

Three years of systematic work, frustration and despair.

Finally, we made it!

I am looking forward to seeing it published soon.

Update:

The translation has been published, and it was well-received in the Middle East. It is our attempt to contribute to my culture in providing a significantly rich foundation for religious pluralism through asserting the centrality of individual religious experience.

This is a classical book that transcends its time of publication (in 1902) ... well, as classical books ought to be!

Mohammed Kotb شكلي هبدأ فيه قريب.
بس بالانجليزي.


Eslam عظيم جدًا


Mohammed Kotb الحقيقة بعد قراءة أول ٢٠ صفحة، فهمت حوالي نصهم و فشلت افهم النصف الاخر أدركت انني لا امتلك عقل فلسفي.
اعتقد ان تركيبة مخي لا تسمح لي بفهم تلك النصوص الملتوية و الأفكار شديدة التجرد.
و اعتقد أيضا انه لا فائدة من تلك الثرثرة المتكررة. علوم الاعصاب تفسر لنا الكثير من تلك الظواهر بلغة اكثر دقة و أكثر ايجازا.
كانت تجربة جميلة التعرف على الاستاذ اسلام سعد و كنت اتمنى ان اتعلم منه أكثر و لكن يبدوا انني لست مصمم لادراك هذة الأفكار.
حزين انا طبعا و محبط و لكن الحياة لا تعيرنا اي اهتمام.
