Rendition To Books Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America

Reading this book was a turning point in my life. I was not any longer the same person that I was before it. I was not any longer wishing I hadn't been, or wishing the wicked human race hadn't been. For the first time in my life, I felt how I was so lucky when I was chosen from nonexistence to be me, to be precisely as Salma... I wrote those four lines of poetry- Even nice angels could not but ask: among all naught why man to be? Lord answered them: It is man task to live and learn, thus man may see.

Judge About Books Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America
This book brings fresh perspectives in viewing and reviewing some of the most 'sensitive' questions regarding Islam. I find Dr. Lang's insights intriguing as well as thought-provoking as he challenges some of the most strongly held dogmas and beliefs of Qur'anic interpretations. Certainly his Western-style critique widens the dimension of religious discussions with loads of honest questions new converts may have in mind (and to this respect, current Muslims as well).For Muslims, this book is

I liked how he separates between the religion core and the Muslims's wrong practices and how he retains his faith by holding to the main reason of his conversion which is the Quran and not letting others negative behaviors affect him. I was also very touched and inspired by the way he described the first time he prayed.

This book is one of the most interesting books I have read in a long time. It is on par with 'Struggling to Surrender' (Dr. Lang's previous book). The logical approach to all arguments augmented with personal experiences that most can relate to but do not think about much simply makes this a book worth reading over and over again.This book takes the reader along this path by discussing conflicts between faith and reason, difficulties associated with the decision to convert to Islam, obstructions

Actually 4.5 stars. In this book, Jeffery Lang described his journey to Islam and highlighted problems the American Muslim community faces today. Chapter 1 introduces the problem of how children of Muslim immigrants often can't hold on to the faith. Chapter 2 is about his understanding of the Quran and some theological thoughts. He was raised Catholic, later lost his faith as Christian tenants of original sin and redemption did not make sense to him, but later convinced by the Quran to come back

An honest memoir from a Muslim convert..I could feel his words were coming from the heart.

This is Jeffrey Lang's second book, and as emotionally moving as the previous one. He shares a lot of details that any introspecting Muslim can easily relate to. This book should be read after reading "Struggling to Surrender" as a lot is referenced from it. The author builds upon the initial question the angels asked before the creation of man. Alluding to Qur'anic references, he debunks the myth of the Original Sin prevalent in the Muslim Ummah as a result of cultural influence. Later on, he
