What happens when a lifelong scholar of traditional Islamic jurisprudence is suddenly confronted with historical truths that challenge everything he has ever known?

Then I Was Guided is the deeply moving, autobiographical account of Dr. Muhammad al-Tijani al-Samawi, a learned cleric originally trained in the Sunni Maliki school of thought. During a transformative journey to Iraq, a series of profound encounters with prominent scholars—including the late Ayatullah al-Khui—sparked a rigorous, internal quest for the absolute truth.

Spanning personal skepticism to spiritual enlightenment, Dr. Al-Tijani meticulously deconstructs complex historical events and theological misconceptions surrounding the Sunni-Shia schools of thought. Relying strictly on cross-referenced, mutually agreed-upon Islamic texts and pristine logic, he chronicles his transition toward embracing the path of the Ahlul Bayt (the Prophet's household).

Written with remarkable candor, emotional depth, and scholastic precision, this audiobook serves as an objective, illuminating guide for truth-seekers, researchers, and anyone looking to bridge understandings within Islamic history. It is a timeless testament to the power of open-mindedness, critical thinking, and the ultimate pursuit of divine guidance.
