From Atheism to Belief: A Journey to Islam in North America by Dr. Jeffrey Lang (Part 15/17,Q&A3)

From Atheism to Belief: A Journey to Islam in North America. This was the topic of a lecture delivered by Dr. Jeffrey Lang at McGill University on October 27, 2007.

Dr. Jeffrey Lang was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut in 1954. He grew up in a Roman Catholic family but became atheist by the time he was 18. In the early 80s, however, he converted to Islam and since then, he has been an active and influential voice in Islamic Circles throughout America.

Dr. Lang is currently a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Kansas in the US.

By "dismissing" hadith (he is committing biddah). Have I ever claimed that statement was a hadith? Perhaps you could remind me, or quote me. "LOL" back to you...

[HasanKhanDDS]

@Wrath0fKhan lol khan, i believe what the statement is saying is true, but like i thought the statement is not a hadith but an athar going back to the salaf. just curious thanks though. im not sure where dr lang would be commiting biddah though

@HasanKhanDDS

It was a report of the "Ahlul-Athar" (People of Narration)...

[HasanKhanDDS]

@Wrath0fKhan how would you know that? was that a report of the prophet?

[Wrath0fKhan]

Come on, Dr. Lang. You know that the signs of the people of innovation are clear and obvious. The most apparent of their signs is their severe enmity for those who carry the reports of the Prophet... Dont commit bidah!
