I do not understand why some of my Sisters and Brothers say that Muhammad Asad denied the existence of Jinn. In the third appendix to his tranlsation of Al-Quran (http://www.geocities.com/masad02/) Asad not only affirms their existence, but gives an articulate account of them! Is any one who dares to break out of the established mold of Tafsir destined to be reckoned a heretic?

About Me
- Name: Abu Mahmoud
- Location: United States
أنا مسلم أمريكي من أصل إرلندي.أدرس الفلسفة ولي فضول عن العالم. نظري إلى الحياة على أساس التقدُّم وحقوق الإنسان والإنصاف للنساء وللعمّال.أومن أنّ الناس المتحد لن ينهزموا =======I am intensely curious about the world around me and am convinced that, to paraphrase Marx, it is not enough to understand the world; the point is to change it. I want to create a world where the suffering of all sentient beings is minimized and all people have access to meaningful work, healthcare, and education. I believe that this can only be achieved through a radical redistribution of resources whereby economic, political, and social capital is put work satisfying human need instead of pandering to inhuman greed.
