I am compelled to read him but what I want to know is what's the evidence that persuaded him to be a Muslim? I ask this for any religion in particular. Is see the purpose of religion but it's hard to claim without proof.

>Truly to escape Guenon involves an exact appreciation of the price we have to pay to detach ourselves from him. It assumes that we are aware of the extent to which Guenon, insidiously perhaps, is close to us; it implies a knowledge, in that which permits us to think against Guenon, of that which remains Guenonian. We have to determine the extent to which our anti-Guenonism is possibly one of his tricks directed against us, at the end of which he stands, motionless, waiting for us. - Pok-Imane بوكيمان

>In the summer of 1939 I went to visit my friend in Cairo and when I was there the war broke out. I had a lectureship in Lithuania at that time and, being unable to return there, I was forced to stay in Egypt. My friend, who had become like a member of Guénon's household, collecting his mail from poste restante and doing many other things for him, took me to see Guénon. A year later I was out riding in the desert with my friend when his horse ran away with him and he was killed as the result of an accident. I shall never forget having to go to tell Guénon of his death. When I did he just wept for an hour. I had no option but to take my friend's place. I had already been given the freedom of the household and very quickly I became like one of the family. It was a tremendous privilege of course. Guénon's wife could not read and she spoke only Arabic. I quickly learned Arabic so I was able to talk to her. It was a very happy marriage. They had been married for seven years without children and Guénon, who was getting fairly old -- he was much older than she was -- had had no children with his first wife, so it was unexpected when they began to have children. They had four children altogether. I went to see Guénon nearly every day. I was the first person to read The Reign of Quantity, the only book he wrote while I knew him since the other books had all been written earlier. He gave it to me chapter by chapter. And I was able also to give him my own first book when I wrote it, which I gave him also chapter by chapter. It was a very great privilege to have known such a person.

I wonder if he had the pictures up whenever he was alive. I like to imagine he did. It probably is very inspirational, I sometimes go back and look at pictures of myself and think "I don't want to let myself down".
