Jad Allah Al-Qurani

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki

Early life

Jad Allah Al-Qurani, born circa 1949, died in 2003 in Paris, France. He was a preacher of Islam in Africa.[1][2][3][4][5]

Conversion to Islam

There was a Turkish man living in France who had a grocery shop named Ibrahim.[6] He used to go to the shop for daily items and pick chocolate, and thought the shopkeeper did not notice. One day, he forgot to pick chocolate, and the shopkeeper asked him, “Today you forgot.” He was ashamed, then the shopkeeper offered him to take one chocolate every day. Gradually, they became friends, and whenever he had a problem, he discussed it with Uncle Ibrahim. Uncle Ibrahim asked him to open any page from a book (Quran) and then narrated a solution to his problem. After the death of Uncle Ibrahim, as per his will, a box containing that book was given to Jad. Jad had a problem one day and he opened that book (Quran), but he could not read it due to the Arabic text, so he asked his Arabic friend to read and narrate the verses. After that, he learned to read the Quran and embraced Islam.[7][8]

Travelled to Africa

One day, while Jad Allah was going through his old papers, he opened the Quran which Uncle Ibrahim left him and he found inside the Quran a map of the world, and on the continent of Africa a signature by Uncle Ibrahim, and at the bottom a verse was written: “Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good counsel!” “أدع إلى سبيل ربك بالحكمة والموعظة الحسنة” Jad Allah thought that this was the advice by Uncle Ibrahim for him and decided to implement it. So, he left Europe and went to call people to Islam in Kenya, southern Sudan and Uganda, and the neighboring countries. A great number of people became Muslim through him; from the Zulu tribe alone, many people became Muslim through him.[9]

Death

Due to the time he spent in Africa, he became ill and died at the age of 54 in 2003.[10]

Legacy

There was a film on Jad’s life named Monsieur Ibrahim released in 2003.[11]
