No Truth Without Beauty: God, the Qur’an, and Women’s Rights
It was a straightforward concept, really. So obvious that as soon as I heard
it, I knew in my very core that it was of paramount importance—and that
I had arrived.
I was between jobs and had only been back in London a day or so, after
spending almost two and a half months in New York, when I asked a
friend if he could get me an appointment with Dr Martin Lings. Over the
previous seven years I had read all of Dr Lings’ published books on religion per se and on Islam—often more than once—though none of his
books of poetry or art and calligraphy yet. I had also read several of his
teachers’ and peers’ writings, having come to hear of these writers from
newly made friends in England after moving there from Lebanon in 1987
as a young economics graduate.
The reason for my visit was that I had been feeling a strong desire to be
closer to God for many years, and I thought Dr Lings might be able to
help. While in New York, I had fnally come to the conclusion that no matter how much knowledge I acquired by reading the most exceptional
books, I still needed help putting a plan in place to actually start the journey towards God in earnest.
