Dear All,
I am sure no intended harm is meant by those terms, it is just how one culture perceive a certain practise and thus using terms that is common to that culture.
The carefully chosen terms used by Muslim scholars are both a reflection of clear understanding to the essence of Islam and ultimately as a sign of respect to the Prophet of Allah, ???? ?????? ???????.
You find them saying
the prophet/ messanger of Allah and not the Prophet of Islam,
Believing in Allah and not believing in Mohammed
the servant of Allah to warn his people and not the embodiment of Allah in acting in his creation
The serviude of Allah according to Mohammed and not Mohammed adoration...
Kind regards
Waleed
Dear Prof.
Langermann
the German compound "Mohammedglauben" which is
new to me as well and is
something that Prof. Nagel has created should
under no circumstances be
equated with Mohammadanism! It stands for
believing in Muhammad as a
prophet. It immediately becomes clear from
reading the work "Allahs
Liebling" that this is meant and not
Mohammadanism which is not in use
anymore (same with Mohammadan
religion). "Allahs Liebling" is not a
biography of Muhammad (so
I have to apologize to have been unclear on
this) but a work on the
historical development of adoration of Muhammad,
thus the compound
"Mohammedglauben" ya'ni believing in Muhammad. I have
tried to
forward to you a review of these two works in the largest
German serious
daily newspaper, the "Süddeutsche Zeitung" from Munich by
Prof.
Peter Heine from the Humboldt-University in Berlin. Unfortunately
I
cannot forward this helpful review to the list but I hope I have made
it
clear what was meant with "Mohammedglauben". Thank you for asking!
Best wishes
