Islamic Perspective on Marlowe's Doctor Faustus

Abstract

Shedding an Islamic perspective on Marlowe's Doctor Faustus instances its universality and relevance to the realities of the Muslim world. For the Muslim knows that Lucifer and his followers fight to gain his soul and perverts him from the path of God. He is also sure that any submission and obedience to the temptation of the devils will bring God's wrath and damnation like that of Faustus.
