The Influence of Animism on Islam: An Account of Popular SuperstitionsMacmillan, 1920 - 246 oldal In this book it is our purpose to show how Islam sprang up in pagan soil and retained many old Arabian beliefs in spite of its vigorous monotheism. Wherever Mohammedism went it introduced old or adopted new superstitions. The result has been that as background of the whole ritual and even in the creed of popular Islam, animism has conquered. - Preface. |

And yet they knew that he who purchased it would have no portion in the future; but sad is the price at which they have sold their souls, had they but known. But had they believed and feared, a reward from God were better, had they but known. O ye who believe! say not 'rahina,' but say 'unthurna,' hearken; for...
