So that is why he wrote then: ''When the soul sleeps in beams of light, God appears, and God is light — to those poor souls who dwell in night; but does a human form display, to those who dwell in realms of day?'' — Auguries of Innocence.

islamic philosophy and the muslim advancement in sciences, maths, arts and medicine was killed by the new wahabi doctorine which demands muslims to become robotic humans. compare wealthy saudi arabia to poor egypt. the later produces better scientists, doctors and teachers.

Knight of Wisdom wrote:Edgar Allan Poe...

Let me guess your favourite poem of his, then — is it Al-aaraaf, the one that is based on the Quran, about people whose bad and good deeds balanced out and as a result live on a star between Hell & Heaven? Edgar was the one. I like his poems (The Raven, in particular) but not as much as I love his stories. The lines I've read the days of yore in The Pit and the Pendulum still murmur through my lips in delirium horror & token appreciation of the unique writing style — ''... as if those who bore me (a ghastly train!) had outrun, in their descent, the limits of the limitless, and paused from the wearisomeness of their toil.'' He was the master of suspense. [/b]
