JohnsonAl Clark by Jonathan G. Meyer grabs the readers attention from the first page. One of my favorite genres is science fiction, above all, space opera. I found Al Clark to be space opera and more. I call it space adventure. The author has created a strong, believable set of characters, particularly the First Six. The story plot is strong and steady with several well designed twists, leaving a true space opera and space adventure fan expectantly waiting to turn the next page. I strongly recommend this book for those that enjoy good sci-fi.

Children are taught academic subjects through simple, lucid and attractive books. However, for teaching Islamic Studies, we are still struggling to give them the best. Firstly, the content matter has to be simplified based on their age and then presented in a way that children love to read. Al-Mu'minah's Islamic Studies Series is an attempt to address this challenge. The series contains Islamic knowledge based on the Qur'an and authentic Ahadeeth. The books have been graded so that the text is class appropriate. The textbook of each grade has been divided into units for better understanding of the subject matter. The language of the lessons and the explanation of the topics are made from the children's perspective. The series aims to acquaint students with the teachings of Islam including belief, practices, moral conduct, biography of the Prophet & and stories of the Prophets. Some topics are presented, using a spiral approach, where students revisit the same topic and study it in greater depths in subsequent years. Please note that the essentials of Islam that need to be memorised by every Muslim have been compiled in another graded series titled Misbahul-Ilm.' Alhamdulillah, the Misbahul-Ilm Series contains a compilation of essentials of Islam which should be memorised by every Muslim - soorahs of the 30th Juz, Daily Duas, some Ahadeeth, Asma-ul-Husna, various Adhkars, Qur'anic supplications, all with the English translation. The explanation of the memorised soorahs is given in subsequent grades in the Islamic Studies Series so that in one grade the student focuses on the memorisation of the soorah from the Misbahul-Ilm Series and in the subsequent grade the focus is on the explanation of the soorah using the Islamic Studies Series. Thus the two series complement each other to provide comprehensive Islamic education Alhamdulillah.

The Quran kor AHN Arabic al-Quran, literally meaning "the recitation" also romanized Quran or Koran is the central religious text of Islam, which Muslims believe to be a revelation from God. It is widely regarded as the finest work in classical Arabic literature. The Quran is divided into chapters, which are then divided into verses. Muslims believe that the Quran was verbally revealed by God to Muhammad through the angel Gabriel Jibril, gradually over a period of approximately 23 years, beginning on 22 December 609 CE, when Muhammad was 40, and concluding in 632, the year of his death. Muslims regard the Quran as the most important miracle of Muhammad, a proof of his prophethood, and the culmination of a series of divine messages that started with the messages revealed to Adam and ended with Muhammad. The word "Quran" occurs some 70 times in the text of the Quran, although different names and words are also said to be references to the Quran. According to the traditional narrative, several companions of Muhammad served as scribes and were responsible for writing down the revelations. Shortly after Muhammad's death, the Quran was compiled by his companions who wrote down and memorized parts of it. These codices had differences that motivated the Caliph Uthman to establish a standard version now known as Uthman's codex, which is generally considered the archetype of the Quran known today. There are, however, variant readings, with mostly minor differences in meaning. The Quran assumes familiarity with major narratives recounted in the Biblical scriptures. It summarizes some, dwells at length on others and, in some cases, presents alternative accounts and interpretations of events. The Quran describes itself as a book of guidance for mankind 2:185. It sometimes offers detailed accounts of specific historical events, and it often emphasizes the moral significance of an event over its narrative sequence. Hadith are additional oral and written traditions supplementing the Quran; from careful authentication they are believed to describe words and actions of Muhammad, and in some traditions also those closest to him. In most denominations of Islam, the Quran is used together with hadith to interpret sharia (Islamic) law; in a small number of denominations, only the Quran is used as a source. During prayers, the Quran is recited only in Arabic. Someone who has memorized the entire Quran is called a hafiz. Quranic verse (ayah) is sometimes recited with a special kind of elocution reserved for this purpose, called tajwid. During the month of Ramadan, Muslims typically complete the recitation of the whole Quran during tarawih prayers. In order to extrapolate the meaning of a particular Quranic verse, most Muslims rely on exegesis, or tafsir.

Quando il giudice Luca Soratti arriv alla Procura di Firenze aveva una sua idea sul tipo di eversione che si stava espandendo nel paese: un nuovo modo per limitare il "potere" ovunque si esprima in modo sopraffattivo, senza doverlo sovvertire; dunque restando "al di l della rivoluzione."Ma l'incontro con Laura Torrisandi gli svela altre verit , e molte altre realt si susseguono nel corso ulteriore degli eventi...A differenza dei romanzi precedenti "Sei ore della vita di Giulio" e "Woodoo e Incantamento", recensiti come romanzi dell'altrove per la presenza di una narrazione onirica e fantasmagorica accanto a una descrizione oggettiva e particolareggiata, in questo libro il racconto ha una "sceneggiatura" pi lineare.Riconoscibile invece lo stile che, come d'abitudine, si modula in un'alternanza di prosa e musicalit poetica.

Zajal is the public register of the collective memory of its people and the chronicle that preserves their traditions, conventions, and popular heritage. It is mainly an oral poetic tradition that is meant to be presented (sung or recited) in a public forum before an audience, preferably on stage, between two poets or more. The origins of Zajal date back to pre-Islamic Arabia; some also argue that Zajal originated in Andalusia during the Arab's occupation of Spain. The first wave of Zajal that reached us dates back to the 12th century where this form of poetry in dialect became popular in Lebanon and later flourished in monasteries and among educated scholars, linguists, and even prominent politicians including the ruler of Lebanon, Emir Bashir, The Second. The second wave of Zajal started in the late 1930s with the poet Asaad el-Khoury al-Fighali, better known as Shahrour al-Wadi, who established the first group of poets and set the early rules of Zajal on stage. He was followed by a number of (Zajjaaline): Zajal poets, who carried on the tradition. However, one name stands out as the founder of modern Zajal poetry in Lebanon: Joseph al-Hashime, better known as Zaghloul al-Damour (1925- 2018). Zaghloul actively accompanied this art for over seventy years. He is considered the patron-poet of Zajal and its representative par excellence. It is agreed among critics that he is the teacher, educator, and the one-man- academy that graduated tens of modern poets who studied under his supervision, learned from him, emulated him, and owe their reputation and career to his tutelage and sponsorship. Poets who wanted to be recognized and accredited either joined his group or sought to challenge him on stage just to say that they sang along with Zaghloul. Zaghloul founded the modern school/academy of Zajal poetry, established the definitive rules of debate/challenge between poets, set up the protocol of "an evening of Zajal poetry" on stage, was the first to appear with his group on television in a weekly Zajal show, and is hailed as the ambassador of Lebanese Zajal to the world of Diaspora to bring a taste of home to Lebanese and Arab immigrants around the globe. He became the preferred voice of poetry chosen to celebrate Lebanon's weddings, funerals, national commemorations, and social events. He also established the first journal to publish Zajal poetry, debates, and duals between poets on regular basis. His journal, al-Masrah, continued its mission for over twenty years. He also published a number of his own poetry books. All said, Zaghloul remains a unique poet in the history of Zajal. His name has become synonymous with this art beloved to all Lebanese and Arab people. Zaghloul was endowed with three gifts that distinguished him and put him in a class by himself: 1) a unique talent for romantic poetry, especially spontaneous poetry inspired by the occasion or situation at hand, that touches the hearts and the minds of the listeners, 2) an exceptional and matchless voice that is in itself an orchestra of hummingbirds and multiple musical instruments simultaneously playing, 3) but above all, he was gifted with a gentle and temperate character and a kind and loving personality that endeared him to his contemporaries, his audiences, and his challengers and rivals alike. Zaghloul will be remembered not only for his poetic genius and his pioneering role but also for his humility, humanity, and for having been supportive and loyal to his friends and always gracious, civil, and forgiving towards his opponents on stage. Those who challenged him were always taught a lesson but without being degraded or embarrassed by him on stage. His passing at the age of 93 dealt a great blow to the most cherished art of Zajal, and he was mourned across Lebanon, the entire Arab world, and in Diaspora.
