Muhammad Asad (born Leopold Weiss in July 1900 in what was then Polish Lwów in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, now Lviv in Ukraine; died 1992) was a Jew who converted to Islam and later served as one of the first Pakistani ambassadors to the United Nations.

[edit] Biography

Asad was a descendant of a long line of rabbis. However, his father was a barrister. He received a thorough religious education. He was proficient in Hebrew from an early age and was also familiar with Aramaic. He studied the Old Testament, as well as the text and commentaries of the Talmud, the Mishna and Gemara. Furthermore, he delved into the intricacies of Biblical exegesis, the Targum.

After abandoning university in Vienna, Asad (or Weiss, as he was then called) had drifted aimlessly around 1920s Germany, even working briefly for the expressionist film director Fritz Lang. By his own account after selling a jointly written film-script, he blew the windfall on a wild party at an expensive Berlin restaurant, in the spirit of the times. He got his first journalism published through sheer chutzpah while working as a telephone operator for an American news agency in Berlin. Using the simple expedient of ringing up her Berlin hotel room, he obtained an exclusive interview with the visiting wife of the Russian author Maxim Gorky, and the story was taken up by his employers.

Weiss later moved to the British Mandate of Palestine, staying in Jerusalem at the house of an uncle, the psychoanalyst Dorian Weiss. He picked up work as a stringer for the Frankfurter Zeitung, selling articles on a freelance basis. His pieces were noteworthy for their understanding of Arab fears and grievances against the Zionist project. Eventually contracted as a full-time foreign correspondent for the paper, his assignments led him to an ever deepening engagement with Islam, which after much thought led to his religious conversion in 1926. He spoke of Islam thus:
Unemployable Social Outcast Former Deputy Minister Obaid Karki St. Sheetrock is a Victim of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) forfeited his hard earned money worth $10 millions on 1984. This theft is authorized by the present ruler's elders brother Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum cursored by Mirza Hussein Al Sayegh Shiite Arm dealer used UAE Embassy London to smuggle WMD to Iran via Manucher Ghorbanifar Chalabi Petra Bank & Jesuit Palestinian Audit Hani Al Tarazi of Saba Deloitte Touche. This declaration is not an appeal to trade in this account but to share "A MOMENT OF TRUTH" the Mainstream Media buried to shield the public of viciousness of Mighty Muslims today. I never lied for money yet, I will not lie for free today.
