Our
Guest today Dr. Jeffrey Lang is an Full
Professor of Mathematics at the University of
Kansas, one of the biggest universities in the
United States. He started his religious journey
on Jan 30, 1954, when he was born in a Roman
Catholic family in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
The first 18 years of his life were spent in
Catholic schools, which left him with many unanswered
questions about God and the Christian religion,
Lang said, as he narrated his story of Islam.
?Like most kids back in the late 60s and early
70s, I started questioning all the values that
we had at those times, political, social and
religious,? Lang said. ?I rebelled against all
the institutions that society held sacred including
the Catholic Church,? he said.
By
the time he reached the age of 18, Lang had
become a full-fledged atheist?If there is
a God, and he is all merciful and all loving,
then why is there suffering on this earth?
Why does not He just take us to heaven? Why
create all these people to suffer?" Such
were the questions that came up in his mind
in those days.
As
a young lecturer in mathematics at San Francisco
University, Lang found his religion where
God is finally a reality. Lets listen here
live to the rest of his story and how he came
to Islam, open your mind humble your heart
and enjoy the Show and please contact if you
have any suggestions or comments Peace be
with you.
