Raised as a Catholic, later a Freemason and a born-again Christian, then a convert to Islam in 2004, Dr Zaid has travelled far and wide in his search for the ultimate truth and submission to one absolute god. With this book, he presents the findings of his experiences.
"When I realized I was angry with the world system and the impotency of religion to withstand the onslaught of unrighteous hordes on toll roads to Trinity: The Metamorphosis of Myth by Omar Zaid, M.D. xiv Hades, I enquired as to why but received no satisfactory answers until I read Al’Qur’an by the leave of Allah. The experience did not change the world but it did change me: allowing me to re-‐order the observations and experience of my fifty-‐odd years with the accumulations of civilization’s thousands so I could sit in peace and tap out this tome on mildewed keys while the cat sits on my lap and my toddler toddles books off the shelf (Josiah). Psychologists can call it catharsis but I call it the gift of knowledge and without my anger as a guide I would never have found the Qur’an nor understood enough to weep as I read; permitting tears to mix with the sweet dew of its reflective inspiration. By Allah’s grace my anger has saved my soul’s freedom, and it may well assist the reader in filling his or her own cistern, Insh’allah. And as I am of the opinion that many sleep through life, it is difficult for me to trust men who do not get angry; for I have yet to see any of my nine children angry when asleep."
In writing this book Dr. Omar uncovers the twisted lies that have adulterated and insidiously corrupted almost every religion today. All religions do indeed have origins in truth, but over centuries man has changed the word of God to fit his own desires. This is not only a crime that severs one from the love of God but also dooms him/her to be blind, deaf, and dumb. Perhaps Dr. Omar's greatest achievement in this book is the connecting of the dots from Abel and Cain, to the origins of paganism, and finally to the infiltration of pagan idols and symbols in the Abrahamic faiths. This is an eye-opening read for anyone who wishes to uncover the truth behind religions today.
