Explanations
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
Explanations
Even on the roof top, the heat from the day still hung over the city and no breeze stirred the air.
I thought about Sayid in the hospital. I knew he probably had sun stroke; he had all the symptoms.
Tonight could decide whether he would live or die.
As I waited for Sheikh Ahmed, I knelt on one of the rugs on the cement floor and started to plead with Allah for my brother.
“Oh, Allah, have mercy,” I begged. “This cannot be Sayid’s destiny.” Tears slid down my cheeks.
