“Yesterday I was rich in happiness and today I am poor in gold”
First off, there is one fact I'd like to make clear: Gibran in translation (English translation) is far more elegant and grandeur than the Original Gibran! And that is really weird! I tried to read this book in Arabic but I found it silly and boring, while in English it was really profound and deep. I don't know why that happened!
Anyway, this book is a book of wisdom. It truly touched my heart. I loved it.

I'd like to say a very BIG 'Thank You' to my friend Sarah for recommending this book to me :)...more

Now I finished reading his trilogy and I feel nostalgic! Probably I'm gonna watch the movies again tonight!

There is a common thing in all of the anti-God-and-religion books, which is the misunderstanding of some of the major points and ideas in religions, especially Islam.
For example, in this book Hitchens says that in Islam, and according to the Koran, apostasy is punishable by death. This is actually wrong! Koran never said that apostasy is punishable by death! In fact, apostasy has no consequences in the Koran. On the contrary, according to the Koran, people are free to believe whatever they want! There is no punishment whatsoever.
The major problems with Hitchens and other atheist writers is that they write about Islam without really understanding it or even reading the Koran fully and thoroughly. They confuse many personal beliefs of some Islamic groups with the Koran.
Generally speaking, this book has many good points. But the amount of bullshit is still much greater! ...more

This book, in my opinion, is full of meaningless ideas and false accusations. Sam Harris apparently doesn't understand Islam or even religion for that matter. I felt that he read the Koran just to criticize it!
I didn't like it. It's really boring and tedious. One word to describe the book: childish!...more
طبعاً، وقبل كل شيء، أبو نواس هو صاحب الأبيات العظيمة التي مطلعها: يا رب إن عظمت ذنوبي كثرةً. فلقد علمت بأن عفوك أعظَمُ.

طبعاً، وقبل كل ش��ء، أبو نواس هو صاحب الأبيات العظيمة التي مطلعها: يا رب إن عظمت ذنوبي كثرةً. فلقد علمت بأن عفوك أعظَمُ.
كنت أتوقع أن يكون الشعر في هذا الكتاب شعراً ماجناً كما قيل عنه. ولكنه كان، لصدمتي، شعراً أكثر بكثير من ماجن!! لا توجد كلمة تصفه!!
ما أعجبني فيه، هو بلاغة وفصاحة أبو نواس في التعبير حتى عن أفكاره المريضة! كما أعجبني صدقه وصراحته في وصف مشاعره! ربما يعتبرها الكثير وقاحة منه، ولكنني أراها، خاصة في هذا الزمن المتَّشِح بالأكاذيب والنفاق، إيجابية كبيرة ونقطة قوة!
أنصح بقراءته، لأولئك الذين يجدون الجميل والإيجابي في أشد الأشياء قبحاً....more
