FROM ATHEISM TO ISLAM: A JOURNEY TO ISLAM IN AMERICA

By

PROFESSOR JEFFREY LANG

Dr. Jeffrey Lang is Professor of Mathematics at the University of Kansas,
United States. He is author of "Struggling to Surrender" and "Even Angels
Ask" and currently working on his third book
.
Lang was conquered by the Qur'an.  He says "Painters can make the eyes of a
portrait appear to be following you from one place to another, but which
author can write a scripture that anticipates your daily vicissitudes? Each
night I would formulate questions and objections and somehow discover the
answer the next day. It seemed that the author was reading my ideas and
writing in the appropriate lines in time for my next reading. I have met
myself in its pages...". To the question on how he finds it so captivating
when the recitation of the Qur'an is in Arabic, which is totally foreign to
him, he responds; "Why is a baby comforted by his mother's voice?" He said
reading the Qur'an gave him a great deal of comfort and strength in
difficult  times. From there on, faith was a matter of practice for Lang's
spiritual growth.

Come and hear Jeffrey Lang speak from the heart on:
