Allahu Akbar! Today brought me much knowledge. Thanks again to Allah for bringing me such a good teacher, Mr. Eric"Abdus" Harmon. From a child I have always been very curious. If I didn't feel as though something wasn't quite right, I would investigate. For much of my life I felt something missing. Being once brought up to follow the Christian faith, I would go from church to church, read the Holy Bible several times only to feel something still was missing from the literature and the sermons. There was no completenesss. There were many questions that I would research that brought more questions, but no sound answers or divine proof.Then the memories started to stir of a time when I did feel peace, completeness, and truth. That is when I was staying with my granddaddy, Ed, in Ft. Pierce, Florida. He and I would sit and watch services given by Minister Farrakan, the leader of Nation of Islam peacemaking efforts.Those memories were triggered when I walked into a store owned by Muslims and heard familiar music playing. It seemed to draw me in. I became spellbound. The music, I knew it from somewhere. "What is that music playing?" I asked the sales person. It was the Holy Qur'an being played. I , immediately wanted to know how I could get a copy of that music. Well, to make a long story short, this etched out the start of my journey, should I say, back to Islam. I read through the Qur'an like drinking water on a very hot day. My thirst was quenched, at last. I did the research, it was truly divine. Nothing could be disproved in the Qur'an. All of those unanswered questions were answered with Truth, with Divinity. I Give you, as a reader, the challenge of disproving anything presented by the divine inspiration brought forth in the Qur'an. This is, for the second time, a challenge that was given to me by my teacher, Mr. Abdus. Again, nothing could be disproved.
