The Amrad Man

I asked for a sign from heaven.
He found me in a coffee shop

Coffee with the Prophet
A 21st Century Encounter with Muhammad


By Mark A. Gabriel
Former Lecturer of Islamic History at Al-Azhar University


The Amrad Man


When we got to the baggage claim area, I started looking for my father.


I smiled when I saw him, standing there in the midst of a small crowd of relatives and friends.


There was my older brother Ibrahim, my younger brother Sayid, my Uncle Hamzi, two friends from primary school, and two friends from Al-Azhar.


I didn’t really expect my father to come by himself. After all, the return of a hajji is a cause for celebration.


My father hugged and kissed me first.


“Welcome home, my son. Allah has blessed us by your return.


” Then he turned to Sheikh Ahmed, “We are honored to have you as our guest.”
