Leslie hazelton is an agnostic and religion author. She has read the torah
Lesley Hazleton sat down one day to read the Koran. And what she found an agnostic self-defined (tourist) in the in someone else's Holy book it wasn't exactly what she expected. With serious academic backgrounds, scholarship and a warm sense of British humor she shares the grace, conflicts, flexibility, ambiguity as well as mystery she found through out her journey in strange land of terrenes, mountains, birds and gardens. This Yuotube Video won my heart tonight.. (:
And a big TFS..this vid really was worth watching!
Oh and BTW, thank you Fatimah for taking the time to watch the Vid. GBU.
One quick edit: ( have a blessed Friday tomorrow ) (:
Lesley Hazelton got a standing ovation from her audience as well as my family who joined in watching this beautiful vid with me.
We her audience wanted to understand. She helped us to understand.
Amazing to see a Non Muslim taking so much trouble to read and understand what we Muslims believe is the word of God, when the world over many Muslims would not bother to do the same. May Allah's guidance and mercy be upon this lady...Aameen.
Specially liked how she confirmed the fact that the whole 72 virgins bit was a myth and nowhere mentioned in the Quran. Funny how so many extremists and anti Muslims tend to buy that story!
