[QUOTE="Archived_member15, post: 167288, member: 17438"] Islamic scholars were crucial in the transmission of ancient Greek philosophical texts to the Latin west, through Arabic translations during the time of the Islamic Golden Age under the Abbasids. On a personal level, though, I believe that Islamic civilisation's greatest gift to the world was the Sufi movement - the mystical interpretation of the Qur'an which gave us such God-intoxicated luminaries as Rabia al-Basri (Iraq) the saintly Jalaluddin Rumi, Farid al-din Attar of Nishapur, Saadi, Hafiz, Jami (Persia), Ibn Arabi (Spain), Yunus Emre (Turkey), Baba Farid and others in India and many more inspired mystics beside that have had a defining influence on human spirituality. In 2000 Rumi was acclaimed as America's favourite poet (granted on the whole through dubious interpretations of actual translations by Coleman Barks who can't actually read Persian (Farsi) however Rumi deserves the accolade and it did make people read his actual writings such as the Masnavi and Fihi ma Fihi which are infinetly better). Few sacred poets anywhere in the world, east or west, have been as articulate in conveying with simple, beautiful, lyrical language an experience that defies human expression - union with God or [I]fana (self-annihilation) [/I]as the Sufis call it.
