Rev. David Benjamin Keldani (1867-19xx) |

"My
conversion to Islam cannot be attributed to any cause other
than the gracious direction of the Almighty Allah. Without this
Divine guidance all learning, search and other efforts to find
the Truth may even lead one astray. The moment I believed in
the Absolute Unity of God, His holy Apostle Muhammad became
the pattern of my conduct and behavior." |

Prof. Keldani,
a former Catholic bishop, accepted Islam in 1904 and adopted a
Muslim name 'Abdul-Ahad Dawud'. The above quote is taken from
his scholarly work Muhammad in the Bible. An expert in Biblical
scripts and languages, Prof. Keldani published many scholarly
papers on the Bible and Christianity prior to his becoming a Muslim.
His Muhammad in the Bible is rich with deep analysis and although
published originally many decades ago, has remained today without
a parallel on this topic in both originality and scholarship. |
