Did anyone in here read a book or two written by Charles Le Gai Eaton? Somalis from brittain might have heard of him possibly.

I want to read his book Islam the destiny of man ..seems like a good read.

ES, I ordered that one last week on Amazon. I was curious if somalis in brittain heard of him or read some of his books? I read an article he wrote on his conversion to Islam, All I could say was "Waw"! Not only is he a brilliant man but so down to earth in his self-introspection that he captures human nature's dilemma in so fine lucid description. I am hoping to recieve the book today or tomorrow, "Islam, the Destiny of Man".

He died!! I can't believe it.Inna Lillaah wa inna ileyhi rajicoun.

Yes i've heard about him, from a Times news article.It seems a lot of Establishment Elites have converted to Islam through his works and I believe Prince Charles is also a fan.

When did he Die? May Allah have mercy on Him. I have his book now, Read couple of chapters. He did good service for Islam. Many converts in Europe were influenced by his work. May Allah forgive him and all Muslims. Ilaahay Qabriga ha u waasiciyo.

In his Own words about how he came to Islam. It is this article which inspired me to buy his book.

I always liked his audio interpretation of the Qur'an, much better than JD Hall. Thanks for the link.

Koronto, My pleasure bro. It is a good link. Le Gai's spiritual Journey is beautiful read. Ilaahay ha u Naxariisto. Didn't know he died untill today. Where do you find his Quranic translation?

Yh, I agree with you, he led a remarkable life. Allahu naxariisto, amiin.

I downloaded it from this site:

Choose #4. Abdul Bari with ENGLISH Translation.

JD Hall is #117.

Excellent bro, this comes in handy when I need it. I bookmarked the link. Ilaahay ha u naxariisto again. PS: Who is Koronoto69? I need to keep track of who is who between you two You lost acces to that account?

Haven't seen him around lately.

You're welcome, bro. There's this awesome CD compilation of Du'aas by Yusuf Islam that has Sir Eaton doing some of the interpretations from Arabic to English.

I lost it a while back, would love to buy it again, but don't remember the name of the compilation, ever come across it?
