Family Crisis

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


Family Crisis


When Sheikh Ahmed saw me in the morning, the first thing he said was, “I see you are growing your beard.”


I had two days worth of stubble, but he was pleased.


“Good for you, my son. You are putting action to your words.


You need to do that in other areas, too.”


Sayid never came out of his room for the call to prayer. I hoped that Sheikh Ahmed didn’t notice.
