| Quotation | When Schuon writes about Mohammed, one wonders to what extent he is surreptitiously using ideas suggested by the dogma of the Incarnation. For instance this: "Mohammed c'est la forme humaine orientee vers l'Essence divin" (127). "C'est Mohammed qui incarne ‘actuellement' et ‘definitivement' la Revelation" (p. 131). ["Mohammed is the human form directed towards the divine Essence," Comprendre l'Islam, p. 127. "It is Mohammed who ‘actually' and ‘definitively' incarnates Revelation," p. 131.] |
