Words cannot grasp the luminous soul and bountiful contributions of Professor Mahmoud Mustafa Ayoub, who passed away in Montreal, Canada on October  31, 2021. He was a master with humble origins, hailing from the rural mountain coun-tryside of southern Lebanon, where he was born June  1, 1935. Ayoub’s schooling inculcated within him an appreciation for both Muslim and Christian education. After attending the British Presbyterian Missionary School, he converted to Chris-tianity which came into conflict with his working class family’s Shīʿī-Muslim faith. Ayoub would later revert back to Islam. However, little did the world know that the bright and curious lad would grow into one of the greatest scholars of Islam and Christian-Muslim relations in modern times.
