Daring Questions



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


Daring Questions


At dinner that night, we enjoyed light conversation, especially the Egyptian jokes that my younger brother Sayid told.


He was the entertainer of the family, and he made a point of listening for new jokes wherever he went.

Sheikh Ahmed smiled at times, but he never laughed.


After dinner, my mother and sister turned on the television in the living room.


My younger brother was lounging on one of the couches.


Sheikh Ahmed and I sat on chairs to the side of the room as he finished drinking another cup of coffee.

As my mother flipped through the channels, she stopped at a talk show that we had never seen before called “Daring Questions.”
