Although Dr Lang considered this project as some impressions of a Muslim convert when it first came out, it proved to be far more profound and insightful for Muslims and non Muslims alike. One can personally relate with Lang’s struggle at many levels and his approach towards making sense of religion vis-à-vis life is remarkably honest. One thing that impressed me most is the depth with which Lang approaches to analyze the source of shariah, especially Hadith. From the standpoint of a new show more convert, even his mention of Azami and Nabia Abbott is enough to show the breadth of Islamic literature he has dealt with. show less
