Family Secret
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 Secret
When I finished memorizing the Quran at the age of twelve, I wanted to do more than quote the Quran:
I wanted to live it and handle the situations around me according to its words.
At the same time, my teachers at Al-Azhar elementary school always told us how Islam is superior and how Jews and Christians hate Muslims and want to destroy Islam.
That is why I was so bothered by a tiny Christian church in the Christian neighborhood next to my neighborhood.
A priest lived in a little house not far from the church.
I looked at that church and that house, and I thought, They have no right to live here next to us.
