Suicide Shame
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
Suicide Shame
Sheikh Ahmed handed me a cup of coffee as we walked to the Prophet’s Mosque for dawn prayers.
When we finished, we went back to the hotel café for breakfast.
Sheikh Ahmed didn’t look at the menu, but he asked the server, “Can you do a special order for me?”
“We will do our best,” she replied pleasantly.
“I’d like plain yogurt with honey and a dish of dates on the side. Can you do that?”
