HAD YOU BEEN BORN A MUSLIM

This pamphlet has been prepared by Mr. Abdullah Igram of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Founder of the Federation of Islamic Associations in the United States and Canada; and Dr. T. B. Irving, Professor at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
This pamphlet was intended originally for distribution at mosques and Islamic Centers in North America to non-Muslims who are interested in Islam.
Had you been born a Muslim, one of your earliest recollections would be a prayer which you heard your father reciting, and he told you it was the beginning chapter of your holy book, the Noble Qur’an. It was an inspiring prayer, and it remains with you today. this prayer is: In the name of God, the Mercy-giving, the Merciful!
“Praise be to God, Lord of the Universe,
the Mercy-giving, the Merciful,
Ruler on the Day for Repayment!
You do We worship, and You do we ask for Help;
guide us along the Straight path,
the path of those whom You have favoured,
not path of those whom You have earned your anger/wrath,
nor those who are lost!”
