Quote:
"The definitive attribute of man is his ability to forget. The very word used in the Quran for ‘man’, insan, is related etymologically to the word nisyan or forgetfulness. Created not, as in Christianity, in a state of some ‘original sin’, but rather in a condition of grace, the human creature progressively loses his awareness of the immediate presence of God as he is initiated into the world. it is the function of religion to make us remember."
