Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hours of Work and Play "This day, in the afternoon," says the amusing Lutfullah in his Biography, "I found by the mariner´s compass that the Kaaba, the criterion point of our prayers, began to incline to the East. I mentioned the fact to my Muslim companions, who, instead of believing me, laughed at me heartily, and said that too much reading in English books had most certainly weakened my religious feelings. ´How is it possible,´ said they, ´that the Kaaba, the most sacred House of God, which is the centre of the universe, should change its position?´ All these remarks I heard with patience, and established the truth by another proof. The Arab pilot, taken by the captain from Aden, stood to say his afternoon prayers in the direction mentioned by me. ´How is this,´ said I to my friends, ´that this Arab turns in the direction I pointed out?´ ´We dare say he is a Jew,´ said they; ´however, we shall ask him some questions through an interpreter, and satisfy ourselves upon this subject of importance.´ They did so, and got a good reward for their folly.
