  Adaab Arz, Faruqi saab   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Faruqi questioned the orthodoxy that piously worshipped poets on the basis of the moral strength of their work, i.e., the devotion displayed towards Iqbal.
Faruqi’s pursuit of art for art’s sake, in other words assessing literary production purely on literary grounds took an interesting turn when he came to study Mir Taqi Mir whose vaunted simplicity and lyricism was often counterposed against the complexity and intellectualism of his successor Ghalib.
Faruqi is the only individual in the world who has a complete collection of this mother of all epics whose fecundity, richness of imagination and sci-fi action is beyond our grasp and apprehension today.

Faruqi thoroughly ponders, quoting from both western and eastern sources and also making valuable insights, until he finally leads the reader to a conclusion.
Faruqi also points out that there should be clarity of the image, and not the clarity of meaning.
Faruqi says that: "The meaning of a symbol, whether personal or social can be gauged only through the particular system which has been created by symbolic poetry." If this argument is not tautological, then it runs close to invoking an ideology.

Amjad Husain Faruqi, 30, said to be running al-Qaida operations in Pakistan, was killed during a two-hour shootout in the southern province of Sindh on Sunday.
"Faruqi's elimination is a crushing blow to the al-Qaida network in Pakistan because he was the man who had been providing al-Qaida the manpower for carrying out attacks in the country," the official said.
Faruqi was named the "Pakistani mastermind" of the 25 December assassination attempt on Musharraf.

Faruqi attempted to articulate an Islamic worldview by fortifying it with rational and scientific arguments.
The prototype of [al] Faruqi’s project is, we may say, the modern social scientist entrusted as arbiter of the traditional`Alim.
Furthermore, to take the philosophical foundations of modern, natural sciences for granted is tantamount to reinforcing the dichotomy between the natural and human sciences, a dichotomy whose consequences continue to pose serious challenges to the validity of the forms of knowledge outside the domain of modern physical sciences.

 Islam and Other Faiths
Faruqi stands out as one of the very few Muslim philosophers and scholars who earnestly attempted to interact with Islam’s two sister faiths, Judaism and Christianity, and articulated the theoretical foundations of such interaction.
These were the years when Faruqi zealously engaged in the ‘Islamization of Knowledge’ project, the purpose being to arouse Muslims to become active participants in man’s intellectual life and contribute to it from an Islamic perspective.
For Faruqi was one of the few Muslims who took pains to write extensively about religions in general, and his writings provide the reader with a Muslim perspective on the study of religion.

Faruqi’s requested stay of removal, the court held, would only restrain and not enjoin his removal by the terms of the IRAIRA rule.
