Renowned German orientalist, Mrs. Anne Marie Schimmel, shares her unique journey with Islamic supplications. Avoiding translations, she personally delved into the original Arabic texts, translating a portion of Sahifa Sajjadiya into German. A poignant moment occurred during her translation work while caring for her hospitalized mother. Despite initial skepticism from a devout Catholic patient in the same room, Mrs. Schimmel's translated book resonated deeply. This exchange highlights the power of cultural understanding and the universality of spiritual connections. #CulturalExchange #SahifaSajjadiya #InterfaithJourney 📚🕌

Mrs. Anne Marie Schimmel, a renowned German Orientalist, shares her thoughts on Islamic prayers, especially the Sahifa Sajjadiya:

"I consistently read Islamic supplications, hadiths, and news directly from their Arabic source without resorting to translations. I personally translated and published a small portion of Sahifa Sajjadiya into German.

About seven years ago, while engaged in translating the supplication for sighting the crescent moon of Ramadan and the farewell prayer for that month, my mother was hospitalized. During my visits, I found myself working on translations in a corner of her room while she drifted off to sleep.

Her hospital room had two beds. In the other bed, a very devout Catholic woman was admitted, staunch in her faith and even somewhat zealous. When she learned that I was translating Islamic prayers, she became dismayed, questioning whether we lacked anything in our Christianity and sacred texts that I turned to Islamic prayers!

Upon the publication of my book, I sent her a copy. A month later, she called me and said, 'Sincerely grateful for the gift of this book, as I read it every day instead of saying prayers.' Mrs. Schimmel believes that Imam Zain al-Abidin (peace be upon him) is effective for many people in the Western world.

We visited the Church of Vank with Dr. Taras and Dr. Essam Al-Imad. Interesting points were raised, including the revelation that Paul, who is introduced as a Christian saint, went to Rome after the arrival of Jesus. There, he encountered a gathering of tens of thousands of Mithraists, who were anticipating the advent of their savior. Paul realized that many of the concepts they were eagerly awaiting were present in Christianity, including the belief that the savior would be born of a virgin.

He invited them to embrace Christianity, and they converted, but Paul told them he did not want them to change their rituals. Instead, he incorporated their rituals into Christianity, such as the lighting of candles and more. 🌐 @rahyafte_en #ChurchVisit #InterfaithDialogue #CulturalExchange #ReligiousHarmony #Mithraism #Christianity #CandlelightingTradition
