## Description

n Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America, the author attempting to share the American convert's experience of discovering Islam. During his fifteen years of being a university professor on college campuses across the United States, he has met many young Americans of Muslim heritage who avoid or even reject Islam, being unable to reconcile their inherited faith with their acquired Western outlook. One of the principle assumptions behind this book is that even though the American culture has alienated these young people from the faith of their parents, they will be able to relate to what other Americans, of non-Muslim origin, have discovered in Islam. Talking with converts, like himself Dr. Lang found a shared common experience that approximates a characteristic path to the faith. This book takes the reader along this path by discussing conflicts between faith and reason, difficulties associated with the decision to convert to Islam, obstructions to conversion erected by Muslims themselves, the indispensable experience of Islamic rituals, extremism within the Muslim community, and what the future may hold for American Muslims.

Review: It's so dense and very intellectual but it also has this spirituality that makes my heart shiver like a dry leave in a windy day - No words can describe this book really. It's so dense and very intellectual but it also has this spirituality that makes my heart shiver like a dry leave in a windy day.. I know a good book when I can't go through it without a pen or a pencil.. A book that reacts with my mind leaving me unable to hold back my thoughts as they crowd into my head.. A book that I fill its margins with the products of these reactions.. I don't know if I can say anything that would be sufficient enough to describe, review, or recommend this book.. The only thing I can be assured of is that my mind and perspective have so profoundly expanded, as a result of reading this book, that I am confident it will change my life forever. I have substantially learned, grown, been intellectually provoked and spiritually moved by this book. A relatively short yet dense book (230 pages), "Even Angels Ask" was not only a journey through Islam in America, but a journey through Islam for myself. Even if I'm reading it 18 years after it has been written (it's almost as old as I am!), I was still able to greatly relate to it. In fact, I believe that we live today in a world that is more "Americanized" and globalized than ever before, which makes the "Journey to Islam in America" key to journeys to Islam all over the world. In short, I absolutely believe this book is extremely precious and is a must-read for every Muslim and anyone interested in Islam.
Review: Moving and thought provoking - This may be the first book I read about Islam that so accurately portrays the current state of Muslim communities in America, the divide, culture dominance, intolerance for each other and the unquenchable thirst for control. Especially as an immigrant parent of second generation Muslims here, I learned many invaluable lessons and insights, which I hope to utilize for my children and other children in the community. Another very important thing I learned from this book is how clueless we are in our dealings and expectations of new reverts to Islam.It broke my heart to read how we are the ones driving them away with our rigid attitudes and narrow-mindedness. I liked best his personal stories and experiences and how sincere author was in pointing out his highs and lows in his own spiritual journey. I had something to underline, or stop and ponder over on almost every page, ( needless to say that it moved me to tears several times). Its very well written, spiritually moving, and inspiring. This book was a great one to read in Ramadan when we are trying to not only read more and more Quran, but also trying to improve in general our spiritual states and relation with God.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The missing link...
*by A***N on December 22, 2015*

As a Muslim, sometimes it is frustrating to experience the beauty and goodness of Islam and then watch it be stifled by the dogma of Islam. It's important to step back and review what drew you to the faith in the first place. If you were born a Muslim, then it is important to go back and understand an overview of the world view of Islam and, essentially, the purpose. Jeffery Lang accomplishes the task by sharing his experiences as a convert and his thought process on how he came to accept Islam as the path that would lead to the ultimate accomplishment of "being all that you can be". Islam's reliance on intellect and rationality is his focus. How can the human mind be convinced if the demands of rationality are not met? If the argument cannot stand the scrutiny of intellect and relies, instead, on irrationality, how can one overcome the idea that it is just a delusion. Lang defends his argument (and that of many scholars, old and new) that not only does Islam embrace rationality in its arguments, but, in fact, the Quran despises those who do not use their intellect. As if it predicts that there will always be doubt in the human mind if it is not intellectually satisfied. As Lang takes us through the journey of the Quran, he shares his experiences, thoughts, and conclusions along the way. Truly a fascinating read for those who wish to learn about Islam and its holy book either for the first time (as a non-believer or a believer) or through another set of eyes if the Quran has been studied before.
