Fourth cover

From a young age, Islamism and its doctrine had an almost irreversible attraction on me | ... ] but it was only after attentive reading of the Koran, followed by in-depth studies and long meditations, that I embraced the Muslim religion.

I add that the prescriptions of Muslim law are excellent since from a social point of view, Arab society is based entirely on the organization of the family and that the principles of equity, justice, charity towards the unfortunate are the only ones in honor there, and that from the point of view of hygiene - which is of some importance for a doctor - it prohibits the use of alcoholic beverages and orders frequent ablutions of the body and clothing.
