I asked for a sign from heaven.
He found me in a coffee shop.

Coffee with the Prophet
A 21st Century Encounter with the Prophet of Islam
by Mark A. Gabriel
Former Lecturer of Islamic History at Al-Azhar University

Mustafa was a good Muslim; in fact, he was nearly perfect. He memorized the Quran by age 12. He earned a doctorate in Islamic History and Culture from Al-Azhar, the most powerful Muslim university in the world, and he became one of its youngest lecturers.

But in reality Mustafa's faith in Islam was being destroyed by his studies. The more he learned, the more disappointed he felt. On the edge of abandoning his faith, Mustafa prayed for Allah to show him the truth.

Little did he know that he would find his answer in a coffee shop in Mecca. There he met a charismatic tribesman with a taste for iced lattes and the knowledge of an Islamic scholar. He was the mentor Mustafa sought, but soon Mustafa realized that this stranger was surrounded in mystery. Who did he talk with late at night? What did he carry in his rough brown bag? And how did he know so much about Mustafa?

Coffee with the Prophet delivers a surprise on every page!
