Love Songs in the Shadow of the Qur'an

This booklet entitled "Love Songs in the Shadow of the Qur'an" is the upcoming metamorphosis of the poetry book "Love in the Shadow of the Qur'an".

... For the beloved woman, devotion is the cornerstone of conjugal union, experienced in the shadow of the Qur'an. This union occurs after the loving man in this fairy tale imbued with Qur'anic symbols moves into the lake of conjugal union with the personified devotion that had broken into his garden.

.... For the beloved woman, poetry is not dead, but alive. However, poetry has gone through a metamorphosis since the beloved man has started to believe in the death of poetry. However, the beloved woman does not give up. With her rational thinking, on which her entire philosophy of love in the shadow of the Qur'an is based, she analyses the views of the beloved man and notices that he is silent and sees the images of their future love. And the beloved man enjoys these pictures.

The beloved woman also wants to see these pictures. But she can't draw. So, she decides to look for inspiring photos. Some of the images and symbols of the book come from the Qur'an, in particular from the Surat ar-rahman, while others are images from nature, as is the case, for example, with the lake of the conjugal union. The last symbols of the collection, such as for example the butterfly, come from the "West-Eastern Divan" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who was inspired by the Persian poet Hafiz, according to the motto "If Islam means submission to Allah, then in Islam we all live and in Islam we all die".

.... The song symbolizes the acoustic essence of Qur'anic love.

... An important conclusion of the book is also the clear opposition to any kind of narcissistic love in the name of a deep spiritual and mystical love of two soul-mates who learn to love and love each other intimately in the shadow of the Qur'an.

... in the last poem, the heart of the loving woman remains open to a new, growing love in the shadow of Allah's wisdom.
