Safr-i-Wapsi

The prospect of leaving this world behind doesn't terrify me, but the prospect of entering a new one does. While I believe in the mercy of my Lord and Master, I doubt if I have done enough to please Him. I started to write because I wanted to tell my story; the story of a Muslim who was not, the story of a soul that could have been lost, the story of understanding Islam. Through my humble writing I wish to jolt a few souls awake. I want to help uncover the insignia on a few more souls. I want to do my bit before I start on my next journey. I am a Muslim in Transit -Qamar

Mohammed Qamruzzaman, known to friends as Qamar, was born in India in 1940. In 1964 he traveled to America to pursue his education and received his BS Degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1969 from Howard University, and MS Degree in Management in 1976 from Frostburg State College. He worked for the US Army for 32 years in Defense Program Management and retired in Dec 2013. He has one daughter, a journalist, and two sons, a doctor, and an engineer and former US Marine who served in Fallujah. Qamar's dream is to have fellow Muslims realize that Islam is more than just acts of Ibadah (worship) but also requires a deep spiritual connection with God. This project is the culmination of over 30 years of writing, pondering and asking God for guidance.
