As a five-year-old, I explored the world, trying to understand rainbows and trees. One funny memory involves me spending more time with my friends' parents than with my friends, learning from their experiences. I would chat with them for hours about the world, science, and weather. Even though much of what they told me was made up, I discovered later on that my curiosity drove me to understand how things work beneath the surface. This curiosity led me to pursue a career in research and writing as I strive to uncover the deeper roots and underlying causes of various subjects. The Message of Mohamad's Teachings If there's one lesson, I would say it is the importance of forming a healthy mindset. This is a lifelong struggle because we're always working on keeping our minds balanced. Achieving this involves being open to diverse ideas, sharing, and staying flexible. Prophet Muhammad's formula for a healthy mindset includes three stages: gathering knowledge from diverse sources, analyzing and dissecting this information, and then creating something impactful. This process of learning, analyzing, and transforming information into groundbreaking actions is central to a healthy mindset. These principles are reflected in my works, including “Muhammad, the World-Changer” and “The Life of the Qur'an.” This approach underscores the core teachings and my ongoing efforts to develop and maintain a balanced and impactful mindset. Words of Advice Be open to ideas. You will be surprised. Sometimes, we limit ourselves by our judgment, misconceptions of the world, or prejudices. It's important to keep yourself open to learn from anybody. Anyone can teach you. And I've learned so much from people that you would think don't know anything. Regular people, people cleaning the street, and children have taught me so much wisdom.

Mohamad Jebara grew up in Ottawa, Canada, the son of Lebanese immigrants. He, and they, were “cultural Muslims.” But he soon became a scholar of Islam, and a philologist. He is a man of formidable learning, and he has a gift for imparting what he knows to a general audience. From ages ten to twelve, he memorized the Koran. It is still there, in his head. He practices while driving or working out. His new book is “The Life of the Qu'ran.” Jay asks him some basic questions, questions to which many may like to know the answers. An interesting and illuminating confab.
Over a billion copies of the Qur'an exist – yet it remains an enigma. Its classical Arabic language resists simple translation, and its non-linear style of abstract musings defies categorization. Moreover, those who champion its sanctity and compete to claim its mantle offer widely diverging interpretations of its core message – at times with explosive results. Building on his intimate portrait of the Qur'an's prophet in Muhammad the World-Changer, Mohamad Jebara returns with a vivid profile of the book itself. While viewed in retrospect as the grand scripture of triumphant empires, Jebara reveals how the Qur'an unfolded over 22 years amidst intense persecution, suffering, and loneliness. The Life of the Qur'an recounts this vivid drama as a biography examining the book's obscured heritage, complex revelation, and contested legacy. Shermer and Jebara discuss: who wrote the Qur'an and why • translation and interpretation • Is the Muslim world stagnating? How does this book aim to help? • semitic mindset • Many Westerners believe that the Qur'an endorses violence, Jihad, and Sharia Law over secular laws and constitutions. What does it really say? • Has Islam had its Enlightenment? • Does Islam and the Muslim world need reforming? • women in Islam • what percentage of Muslims want Sharia Law, and where in the world? Mohamad Jebara is a scriptural philologist and prominent exegetist known for his eloquent oratory style as well as his efforts to bridge cultural and religious divides. A semanticist and historian of Semitic cultures, he has served as Chief Imam as well as headmaster of several Qur'anic and Arabic language academies. Jebara has lectured to diverse audiences around the world; briefed senior policy makers; and published in prominent newspapers and magazines. A respected voice in Islamic scholarship, Jebara advocates for positive social change.
