Heidegger is a radical Abrahamic thinker who spoke a Greek language. When the Muslims lost their own thinking apparatus, they did not find better than Heidegger’s secularized Christian concepts to learn about their new self-experience. Heidegger in the Islamicate World is a high-quality conceptual and spiritual experimentation workshop for the encounter between Abraham's descendants but in a post-secular horizon where colonialism can become a metaphysical parody.
