Applying the Teachings of W. Deen Mohammed Book 4

This is the fourth book in the series, “Applying the Teachings of Imam W. Deen Mohammed.” It is a continuing compilation of essays written for the community of Imam W. Deen Mohammed and published in the Muslim Journal.

In this book, you will find a set of topics discussed that I hope you will find intellectually stimulating, whether you agree with the ideas promulgated or not. My goal is to explore, clarify, and fill in the blanks on topics that have been addressed or alluded to by a profound religious teacher and the leader of the community that I associate myself with.

The book contains four essays that address four important topics in great detail. An essay on Noah's Ark as metaphorical rather than an actual event. A second essay is about the idea of New Africa and the ex-slaves as a new people on earth. The third essay discusses the Qadr of Allah: Predestination vs. Free Will. The last essay discusses analytical thinking and its value.
