Gabriel and the Prophet

Product Description A bold and investigative research study that dismantles the unspoken in historical narratives! Was the character "Dahiya Al-Kalbi" a real person or a literary creation from the imagination of narrators? Created by the distinguished thinker and researcher Fadil Al-Rubaie, and published by Dar Al-Rafidain for Printing, Publishing, and Distribution, the book "Gabriel and the Prophet" was released in 2023, consisting of 190 pages of intense critical analysis. The book raises highly sensitive and important questions about the personality of "Dahiya Al-Kalbi"; that man about whom Islamic stories are filled with strange tales, affirming that he was extraordinarily beautiful and that the angel Gabriel (peace be upon him) manifested in his form. Al-Rubaie traces the disturbance and historical manipulation of the story; where Dahiya appears sometimes as an ambassador carrying the Prophet’s message to Heraclius, and other times as a man in Yazid bin Muawiya’s army! The book deconstructs these narratives to confirm through a critical approach that Dahiya Al-Kalbi is a tragic fictional character born from the imagination of narrators, embodying the idea of the celestial angel who descends to earth and becomes a prisoner of human misery, unable to return to the heavens.
