Shastri Mahadeo, co-founder and CEO of Ferry, shares the moment his entire understanding of Islam was turned upside down in the middle of one of the lowest points of his life. He had gone from making serious money to having nothing. He was depressed. And his neighbor, who had been quietly exploring Islam, kept pushing him to just come and read it. His response was immediate and unfiltered. Why are you reading about terrorists? Do not read about that stuff. He meant every word of it. But his neighbor did not give up. A week later they went to Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, picked up a Quran with an English translation, and Shastri flipped it open to a random page. He landed in Surah Al-Isra. And the first thing he read stopped him completely. Verily this Quran guides to the straight path. He had walked in ready to dismiss it. And the very first ayah he encountered was the Quran introducing itself as exactly what he needed. Not a book of violence. A book of guidance. A book that pointed to a God he had been telling himself did not exist. He describes the moment simply. Even though the verse had its own original context, it spoke to him directly. That is what the Quran does. It finds you exactly where you are. . #Muslimi #ShastriMahadeo #RevertStory #QuranGuides #HidayahIsUnexpected
