New release from Abū Ḥīyā' al-Maṣrī: “A Second Gift to the Extremists: As For the Foam, It Vanishes, [Being] Cast Off"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

Click here for the first part in this article series. The second half of this title is in reference to Qur’anic verse 13:17. Here it is in full: “He sends down from the sky, rain, and valleys flow according to their capacity, and the torrent carries a rising foam. And from that [ore] which they heat in the fire, desiring adornments and utensils, is a foam like it. Thus God presents [the example of] truth and falsehood. As for the foam, it vanishes, [being] cast off; but as for that which benefits the people, it remains on the earth. Thus does God present examples.”
