Note 98 — AN ANALYSIS OF EDWARD FITZGERALD'S TRANSLATION OF THE QUATRAINS OF OMAR KHAYYAM (Fifth Edition) By EDWARD HERON-ALLEN (continued 2)
Edward FitzGerald translation
In this line Omar claims consideration on the ground that he has never questioned the Unity of God. Tawhid kerdan = to acknowledge One God. Muhammadanism is essentially Unitarian. FitzGerald appears to have missed the meaning here, reversing the doctrine, unless he means «I never misread One as Two.»
