Dr Robert Crane now a Pious Muslim named as Farooq Abdul Haq- A Phd in International law, a US Preseident's Ex Advisor, to a Pious Muslim story:
Former US President Richard Nixon’s adviser is Robert Crane.
He holds: Doctorate in Public Law.
• PhD in International Law.
• President of the Harvard Society of International Law.
He later became President Nixon's foreign affairs adviser.
He was also the Deputy Director of the US National Security Council.
• He is considered an expert in Political Affairs in the United States.
• He is founder of the Center for Civilization and Modernization in the United States.
He speaks fluently in six living languages.
What's the story?
One day President Nixon wanted to read about "Islamic Principles and Rules", so he asked CIA to prepare a research paper on the subject for him.
Assigned CIA cadre wrote a detail research paper and submitted to President Nixon.
But Nixon felt the paper was a bit lengthy and detailed. So he asked his adviser, Robert Crane, to read and summarize the article.
Robert read the article and summarized it for the president, but the contents of the article forced Robert to do more research on Islam. So he attended Islamic seminars and conferences to learn more about the subject.
Then came the day when ROBERT Crane converted to Islam, inspired by the Islamic teachings. Word of his conversion spread throughout the USA.
After converting to Islam, he changed his Islamic name to "Farooq Abdul Haq".
Explaining the reason for converting to Islam, he says:
As a law student, I found all the laws in Islam that I studied.
I studied law at Harvard University for 3 years but I never found the word "justice" in their law, whereas
I found this word frequently in Islam.
He converted to Islam in 1981 and named himself "Farooq" after Second Caliph Omar Farooq, who was the Imam of Justice after demise of Holy Prophet (PBUH)
He said: "Once we were having a legal debate. A professor of Jewish law was also with us. When the Jewish Professors demeanor became excessive, I decided to subdue him.
I asked him: Do you know the extent of Inheritance Law in the US Constitution?
He said: Yes, he has more than eight volumes.
I said: If I bring you a Law of Inheritance which is not more than ten lines, will you believe that Islam is a true religion?
He said: It is not possible that such a long and wide law of inheritance can be summed up in just ten lines ...
I took the verses of inheritance from the Holy Quran and presented it to him.
A few days later he came to me and said: It is not possible for a human mind to cover all its close relatives so wide that it leaves no one behind and then distribute the inheritance among them so justly that didnt oppress anyone ...
Then this Jewish Professor reverted to Islam !!
Dr. Robert Crane (Farooq) is yet alive and kicking at the ripe age of 91 years. He is happily sharing the candles of Islam in America.
May Almighty Allaah light millions of Candles from his Candle!!

The Muslims in India should be like the Franciscans, who, with deep commitment, declared their convictions from the housetops rather than remaining reclusive and withdrawn from public life. That’s what Muslims should do, while eschewing violence.
