You Didn’t Know? Einstein Was Muslim
Islamic leader claims famed thinker for Allah’s own
WND
A powerful official in Iran asserts famed scientist Albert Einstein converted to Islam.
The claim was made by Ayatollah Mahdavi Kani, head of Imam Sadeq University and the Assembly of Experts in Iran, a powerful organization that is heavily influential in choosing the rogue nation’s leaders and policies.
A video, which had gone viral on the Internet, and a translation have been posted on the Azarmehr blog, authored by a Londoner who aims to help establish a secular democracy in Iran.
“Most countries that have adopted [democracy, secularism, nationalism and meritocracy] have been prosperous, why shouldn’t our people be one of them?” he asks.
His translation of the ayatollah’s comments:
“Einstein wrote something in which he said he had converted to Islam and had become a Shiite Muslim and that he was a disciple of Imam Jafar Sadeq, says so in foreign books. Einstein says ‘when I heard about the ascension of the prophet Muhammad’ where he had ascended to heavens and come back and the house door was still shaking, a process which was faster than the speed of light. The prophet went quicker than the light that walks, I don’t know how much is it? 300,000 km per second! The door knocker was still shaking and the prophet had come back and he had seen all the heavens too. This is the very same relativity movement that Einstein had understood. Similar to what Mullah Sadra had understood before him, a quintessential movement, not a positional movement like crossing the road taking ten minutes, a movement of light or rather a spiritual movement faster than the light moves, Einstein said ‘when I heard about the narratives of the prophet Muhammad and that of the Ahle-Beit [prophet's household] I realized they had understood these things way before us.”
The blogger addressed the claim about Einstein and Islam several years ago, citing reports of “secret correspondence” between an ayatollah and Einstein that purportedly was being held securely “in a safe box in London.”
