FINISHING "THE SECOND MESSAGE OF ISLAM"

Yesterday, I finished reading THE SECOND MESSAGE OF ISLAM by Mahmoud Mohamed Taha (1996), an extremely important book, that was written by a Sudanese sage, and engineer, whose gentle, clear, edifying philosophy resulted in his execution in 1985, by Sudanese authorities. Fortunately, he left this work and others in his passing to instruct , enlighten, fortify others. I am a Christian. But, that fact did not dissuade me from reading this book or the Holy Qur'an, itself, in the 1980s, which had been given to me as a gift, by the Imam of a KC area temple at which I had spoken. The grace of God covers the earth, regardless of language, religion, or other human phenotypic variation. May those who read it be blessed!
