🇺🇸📖 American Jewish Ph.D. professor embraces Islam after years of searching for truth
Dr. James D. Frankel, an American professor of comparative religion who was raised in a Jewish family in New York, spent years studying different religious and philosophical traditions including Buddhism, the Bible and the Upanishads, in his search for answers to life’s deepest questions.
His journey eventually brought him back to a book a friend named Mansour had gifted him years earlier: the Qur’an. After reading it repeatedly, Frankel said he found the clarity and answers he had been searching for, ultimately leading him to embrace Islam.
From a Jewish upbringing, through years of academic study and spiritual exploration, to discovering Islam — his story is a powerful reminder that sometimes the search for truth takes us through many doors before Allah opens the one that leads home. 🤍
“And whoever seeks a way other than Islam, it will never be accepted from him.” — Qur’an 3:85
May Allah ﷻ guide every sincere heart searching for the truth…
