Description
The aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air, blending seamlessly with the soft hum of conversation and the occasional clinking of porcelain cups. Surrounded by the rhythmic sounds of the cafe, Farid, the cafe’s owner and also a friend I frequently encountered at my lectures, emerged from the kitchen. He greeted me warmly, presenting a delightful latte and a tempting slice of cheesecake. He offered me a seat at my preferred spot by the window. From there, the view provided an ideal vantage point to observe the world beyond, overlooking the bustling ebb and flow of city life. We exchanged pleasantries, and the conversation gradually meandered into the realm of personal beliefs. I shared with him my current endeavor, a new series of talks on theology. Intrigued by the topic, Farid candidly admitted that he wasn’t particularly well-versed in the intricacies of his own faith. Impressed by his honesty, I gently probed further, casually asking, “”Do you ever wonder why you’re a Shi’a?”” Farid, taken slightly off-guard, paused, his eyes reflecting a mix of contemplation and embarrassment. He responded, “”To be honest, I don’t know much about my faith. It’s something I’ve been meaning to explore.”” This candid revelation struck a chord within Farid. The spark of inspiration ignited within me, and I saw an opportunity to unravel a compelling narrative. Over the course of our conversation, Farid and I explored the beauty and depth of Shi’a Islam, delving into its rich tapestry of beliefs and the central tenets. As the afternoon sun began to dip below the horizon, the seeds of an idea took root in my mind. The encounter with Farid, with its raw honesty and the thirst for knowledge, became the catalyst for the series, and later, this book. The cafe, once a backdrop for solitary reflection, now stood witness to the genesis of a narrative that would delve into the profound question, “”Why I am a Shi’a?”” —- ISBN: 9798329872057 | ISBN10: B0D8H75TVG | ISBN-13: 979-8329872057
