Dedication
To every innocent soul whose anguish is condoned by peace- and God-loving believers
Then Peter began to speak: 'I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right (Acts 10:34–35)
Souls and Hearts in Search of Divine Light
The Recital offers a thoughtful and respectful opportunity to explore how sincere, God-loving Muslims understand faith, Scripture, and God's overarching purpose. It is not a book of argument or division, but a narrative that gently invites readers to reflect on how people from different religious traditions respond to the same enduring questions: the mystery of creation, the experience of revelation, the calling of prophethood—and the struggle to trust when divine wisdom surpasses human understanding.
For Christians, The Recital offers a chance to strengthen their witness and to recognize how God is moving across nations and cultures in ways many may not expect. At its heart, the book speaks to a shared yearning among Christians, Muslims, and Jews alike—to walk with integrity through life’s trials, to live righteously, and to seek God’s mercy and redemption.
Finally, it is important to emphasize that a true and accurate understanding of Islam is best obtained through the voices of mainstream Muslims—not through extremists, nor through the interpretations of skeptics or critics.
May God’s peace, salam, and shalom be with you, always and forever.
Amen.
Ayman Alhasan
