Benedict XVI should read some Ibn Hazm

Abu Muhammad: "[The Pope's remarks lacked] sufficient concern for historical reality and an in-depth knowledge of Muslim philosophy. After reading the text of Ratzinger's speech quite a few times, I am still perplexed regarding the line of his reasoning; namely that faith in an absolutely transcendent God whose acts and will cannot be grasped completely by human reason can possibly lead one to conceive His images which are capricious and may be against all truth and goodness. The argument becomes further ironic as Pope strangely chooses to abduce views of a multifarious Muslim writer who can equally be classified as a quasi-liberal writer/poet, a literal jurist, a controversial philosopher, an innovative grammarian or above all a compassionate ethicist."

[Ibn Al Hyderabadee]

Ibn Hazm would say that, "If the Prophet (SAW) woudl have been given solely the miracle of the Seerah, it would have been sufficient to prove his Prophethood."

Indeed the seerah of RasoolAllah (SAW) is a miracle in itself.

Allah Knows Best
