Dr. Annemarie Schimmel was an internationally acclaimed scholar, who dedicated more than fifty years of her life, to explain Islam to the West. She was a seeker of the truth. She traveled all over Muslim world, especially to Turkey, Pakistan and India to understand Muslims and Islam and the messages of mystical poetry of Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi, Shah Abdul Latif Bhattai, Lal Shah Baz Qalander, Sachal Sarmast, Rahman Baba, Khushal Khan Khattak, Baba Farid, Allama Iqbal and other mystical poets. Her scholarship served as a bridge between East and West, cultures and religions. In this video clip Dr. Schimmel reflects on Allama Iqbal's Persian poetry.

  • what a great lady she was ...

  • Good knowledge about TRUE religion And IQBAL

  • She is one of those few westerns who worked really hard to bridge the gap between islam and chiristanity. Most of the viewers may not know this that she has left part of her estate as a prestigious scholarship to pay for pakistani students who are interested in doing their masters in the uk. May God bless her soul for her tremendous contribution to enhance and expose islamic literature to western main stream readers. You will be dearly missed Miss Schimmel !

  • A Great Sufi Woman MashAllah

  • Ohh that's a Great Sufi Woman MashAllah

  • SHE HELPED soo many pakistanis!!!

  • O D OA a...Ali Zindabad

  • It's wonderful to hear western scholars provide fresh perspectives on Iqbal, Islam, Sufism, South Asia, Muslims, etc. Dr. Khwaja has been doing a lot of great work through his TV show for many years in Los Angeles

  • I was a student of German language of annemarieschimmelhaus Lahore. Now find the its worth to dedicate the institute by the name of such lady.

  • wow! its amazing to see her
