Week: 02 - From Leopold Weiss to Muhammad Asad
Points of Discusion

Asad wrote to his father informing him of his conversion but got no answer.
“Some months later my sister wrote, telling me that he considered me dead…Thereupon I sent him another letter, assuring him that my acceptance of Islam did not change anything in my attitude toward him or my love for him; that, on the contrary, Islam enjoined upon me to love and honour my parents above all other people… But this letter also remained unanswered.”
