He is reported to have translated the Bible from Hebrew into Arabic. He had also read other books written by the Jewish and Christian theologians. He was a desperate seeker of truth in the darkness of a world growing darker, and longed to find it before his own death, but did not know how.
Inasemekana alitafasiri Biblia kutoka kwenye lugha ya Kiebrania kuwa Kiarabu. Aidha alikwisha soma vitabu vingine vilivyoandikwa na wanatheolojia Wayahudi na Wakristo. Alikuwa mtafutaji makini wa ukweli ndani ya giza la dunia inayoendelea kuwa ndani ya giza nene zaidi, na alikuwa na nia ya kuupata ukweli huo kabla ya kifo chake, lakini hakujua angeupataje.
