Louis Massignon 

 

 

 A Tribute to a Pioneer in Interfaith Relations 

 
Fifty years ago the renowned French Catholic 
  
scholar of Islam and the Islamic world, Louis 
 
 Massignon, died on October 31,1962. He left 
 
 a legacy of books, articles and lectures, many 
 
 of which are dedicated to Interfaith dialogue 
 
 and particularly to the relationship of the Three 
 
  Abrahamic faith traditions, Judaism, Christianity 
 
 and Islam.F
 
Many have described Louis Massignon's voice 
 
    as "prophetic" and his own intense religious faith 
  
 and commitment as "mystical." Some have called 
 
 him an "Islamized Christian" due to his passionate 
 
 desire "to know," to understand Islam and the 
 
 experience of his Muslim friends and colleagues 
 
 from the inside out. His relationship with the Muslim 
 
 world began in his early twenties when he was 
 
 introduced to the 10th century Persian Sufi saint 
 
 and mystic known as Husayn Ibn Mansur  
 
al-Hallaj. Hallaj was born into an Arabic speaking 
 
 family in a small town in Iran in 858 CE and  
 
became a renowned teacher and outspoken  
 
lover of Allah with many followers. A threat to 
 
 the religious establishment, he was subjected  
 
to a long imprisonment in Baghdad before 
 
 being put to death in 922 CE. Massignon was 
 
 intrigued by this story and began his research 
 
 on the life and legend of al-Hallaj, initially for  
 
his University dissertation.F
