Barack Obama's gold band
NEW YORK – As a student at Harvard Law School, then-bachelor Barack
Obama’s practice of wearing a gold band on his wedding-ring finger
puzzled his colleagues.
Now, newly published photographs of Obama from the 1980s show that
the ring Obama wore on his wedding-ring finger as an unmarried student
is the same ring Michelle Robinson put on his finger at the couple’s
wedding ceremony in 1992.
Moreover, according to Arabic-language and Islamic experts, the ring
Obama has been wearing for more than 30 years is adorned with the first
part of the Islamic declaration of faith, the Shahada: “There is no God
except Allah.”
Inscription on Obama's ring
The Shahada is the first of the Five Pillars of Islam,
expressing the two fundamental beliefs that make a person a Muslim:
There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is Allah’s prophet.
Sincere recitation of the Shahada is the sole requirement for
becoming a Muslim, as it expresses a person’s rejection of all other
gods
Egyptian-born Islamic scholar Mark A. Gabriel, Ph.D., examined
photographs of Obama’s ring at WND’s request and concluded that the
first half of the Shahada is inscribed on it.
“There can be no doubt that someone wearing the inscription ‘There is
no god except Allah’ has a very close connection to Islamic beliefs,
the Islamic religion and Islamic society to which this statement is so
strongly attached,” Gabriel told WND. MorE>>>>>>>>>>
