Description

Charles Le Gai Eaton (Hasan 'Abdul-Hakim) With his departure from Earth on February 26, 2010, at the ripe age of 89, the world has lost the last of a group of European converts to Islam who found the spiritual certainty and veritable truth of Islam through the life and works of the towering French intellectual Rene Guenon (1886-1951) and all of whom shared a certain perspective on Western civilization and modernity. But more than any other member of the group--which included Frithjof Schuon (19071998) and Martin Lings (1909-2005)--it was Charles Le Gai Eaton who witnessed and wrote with intensity and depth on the rapid transmutation of the Muslim world itself, seen from the perspective of one who embraced Islam only to find out Muslims themselves are fast abandoning the civilization which appeared so enchanting to him. This may have produced disillusionment in less solidly rooted individuals, but for Gai Eaton it became a lifelong vocation to study the ways in which modern Western civilization was making its way into the very heart of Islam. He was uniquely suited to explore, understand, and articulate the rapidly changing social and cultural situation of the Muslim world; Allah had placed him on Earth at geographical locations which provided ideal observation posts, a temporal span (1921-2010) during which fundamental changes took place in the makeup of the Muslim world, and a long life filled with travels which took him to many corners of the world.
