My Wisdom Thoughts
Wisdom is a precious gift from God, among many creatures that God has created HE chose us human beings to be the recipient and use it to inspire one another. The question is why? It is simply because HE knew that only humans have the abilities and the power to acquire knowledge and to do many things in this planet, such as to create machines that flies up in the sky or go deeper in the ocean or things that will penetrate into a human body to cure them,. That is why Allah wrote in His holly book the Qur’an” we have indeed created man in the best of moulds ‘’ (surat Attiyn, aya 4) In that regard we are the best of god’s creation, and we deserve that gift of wisdom that has been granted to us. Thank you God for such a great gift that has enabled us to build our world in the best way we can. The world which you created for us to live in. So let us have faith in wisdom as a knowledge that should be acquired by all and to appreciate such a highly precious gift. Jawad al Bahrani. 30th September 2014

TIME MANAGEMENT
All praise belongs only to Allah the Lord of hosts, thanks to His permission and mercy we are still given the opportunity to live the rest of our lives filled with His infinite gifts and sometimes we are rarely grateful, especially the gift of time and opportunity given to us after the gifts of faith and Islam given to us. Prayers and greetings may still be poured out to the great Prophet Muhammad (Peace and salutation be upon him), the prophet of the last days, the prophet of humanity who has taught us how to use and manage time in living life to be happy on earth and in the hereafter get heaven. I translated this book initially as an interest in psychology and in Arabic literature. After I...
The Animists
In a remote Saharan valley, a mysterious caravan approaches from the south. In its train, it brings gold and slaves but also marvelous, dangerous things—ancient pagan heresies and a scorching, unceasing southern wind. And more. For the first time in desert memory, a caravan has come to settle permanently, to build a city of walls and roofs in a land where men have always lived freely as nomads. Renowned as Ibrahim al-Koni’s masterpiece, The Animists is an epic story of the many winds sweeping north and south across the Sahara—of the struggles between devils and humankind, worldly traders and Sufi ascetics, monotheists and animists, nomads and city dwellers, life and death. Al-Koni’s depiction of the Saharan crossroads is at its richest in this novel—nowhere else is his portrayal of humanity’s spiritual and existential battles so complex and compelling, nowhere else are his unique storytelling skills so evidently displayed.
The Philosophy of Desert Metaphors in Ibrahim Al-Koni
A Tuareg by birth, Ibrahim al-Koni is no longer considered to be simply an emerging author. His works have now earned him international repute and prestigious academic recognition. Themed primarily around a desert context, his novels have been categorized as post-modern, polyphonic, magical or socialist realism, and Sufi fabula. This book takes a close look at one of al-Koni's works - The Bleeding of the Stone- and attempts to prise out philosophical reflections concealed in the text. In it the desert provides a landscape rich in allusions while metaphors allow readers to engage in creative interpretation. This is explored to the full by Meinrad Calleja in The Philosophy of Desert Metaphors in Ibrahim al-Koni - The Bleeding of the Stone.

Gold Dust
Rejected by his tribe and hunted by the kin of the man he killed, Ukhayyad and his thoroughbred camel flee across the desolate Tuareg deserts of the Sahara. Between bloody wars against the Italians in the north and famine raging in the south, Ukhayyad rides for the remote rock caves of Jebel Hasawna. There, he says farewell to the mount who has been his companion through thirst, disease, lust, and loneliness. Alone in the desert, haunted by the prophetic cave paintings of ancient hunting scenes and the cries of jinn in the night, Ukhayyad awaits the arrival of his pursuers and their insatiable hunger for blood and gold. Gold Dust is a classic story of the brotherhood between man and beast, the thread of companionship that is all the difference between life and death in the desert. It is a story of the fight to endure in a world of limitless and waterless wastes, and a parable of the struggle to survive in the most dangerous landscape of all: human society.
The Last Of The Angels
Set in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk during the 1950s, Fadhil al-Azzawi's novel The Last of the Angels tells the slyly humorous tale of three strikingly different people in one small neighborhood. During a labor strike against the British-run Iraq Petroleum Company, Hameed Nylon becomes a labor organizer and later a revolutionary, like his hero, Mao Tse-Tung. His brother-in-law, the sheep butcher Khidir Musa, travels to the Soviet Union to find his long-lost brothers, and returns home to great acclaim (and personal fortune) in an airship. Meanwhile, a young boy named Burhan Abdullah discovers an old chest in the attic of his family's house that lets him talk to angels. By turns satiric, ...
