Yusuf the Seeker
New Member
I am a spiritual seeker. I have come to many dead ends. Many years ago I glanced at a Qur’an and read a little of it. It was the only time in my life that I felt the racism, prejudice, and hate in heart melt away. Sadly, because of outside pressure and my own prejudices I stopped my reading and continued seeking answers to life in other schools of faith. But lately the emptiness in my heart has called me to seek again the small joy I felt years ago. And so, I am happy to have found this forum. I pray it will help me to gather information and seek the advice and wisdom of practicing Muslims. So many of you have been so kind to this undeserving soul. Many Americans believe that the Muslim community is insular but the trust and warmth I have been shown proves otherwise. You are a beautiful people with a beautiful faith.
I received my Qur’an today. I ordered one from Amana Publishers. It is the revision of A. Yusuf Ali’s "The Meaning of the Glorious Qur’an". As it has much commentary I hope to learn much.
Please pray that I be constant in my own prayer and steadfast in my search for Allah’s will for me.
Peace to you all this day.
