This means, literally, that the word itself, if we hear it rightly, speaks Greek." (Steiner 22) Steiner later summarizes Heidegger's attempt to find an explanation for Being [Sein] by tracing the etymological roots of the German word. Heidegger, according to Steiner, finds three…

Peters, "The Qur'an insists, Muslims believe, and historians affirm that Muhammad and his followers worship the same God as the Jews(29:46). The Quran's Allah is the same Creator God who covenanted with Abraham". Peters states that the Qur'anic portrayal of God is more powerful, more remote than Yahweh.
