1: A Spiritual Experience
I am just reading the German original of this book. I am deeply touched by it because the sincerity of the author shines through every word. M.Hofmann has been in diplomatic service for decades and served as German Ambassador to Morocco and Algeria.
First of all I find his writing style delightful. Secondly he proves that "even" the way of a Muslim can be a spiritual enlightening path. Okay, sometimes he lifts the index finger like when he writes against alcohol, but in the end he is right. I found some very important hints in this book for my own spiritual path, but I guess this book found me in the right moment - it called me out of the bookshelf of our local book store. If you would like to learn about the Islam, read this book!

2: Understand Muslims better
Because the book is about the exepriance of a German Muslim, it gives the reader an idea about the Islamic World and how they think. Because the writer is a German he is more likely to be able to explain the Islamic traditions that might seem strange to non-muslims or be interprited negatively. I like the book because it helped me understand how Muslims- who are not Arab -think and express themselves. Hofmann wrote other interesting books.One of his best books I think is The journals of a Muslim German. This book reviels how he was presented to Islam and the difference Islam brought to his life.
