Islam's dawn parts

Author's name: Ahmed Amin Publishing house: Dar Al-Masriah Al-Lubnaniah for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2014 Literary classification: Classical Literature Brief about the book: Duhā al-Islam, one of the creations of the late thinker and historian Ahmed Amin, whose foundations he laid to establish a lofty building that no construction can surpass and no contemporary intellectual work can match. The book is a creative intellectual work that appears as a living entity, so you live with the work and follow the events of Islamic history and thought moment by moment, as if you are watching lively events unfolding before your eyes; you interact with them and are affected by them, smiling and angry, rejoicing and grieving, happy and suffering. It depicts the conflict between Arabs and Mawali, and the manifestations of tribalism and slavery, the dominance of tribal feelings, and the oscillation in contradictions in various forms—between a life of frivolity and vice and a life of seriousness and work, between a life of extravagance and wastefulness and a life of misery and hardship, between immersion in luxury and bliss and Sufism and asceticism in worldly pleasures, between life of heresy and life of faith. You also experience different cultures: Persian, Indian, Greek, and Roman, and witness the scientific movement in its greatest forms. You listen to the dialogues of Islamic sects and get to know their most famous figures. It is a unique work and an unprecedented achievement by a writer and historian guided by honesty and academic integrity. It captivates you with its enchanting style and offers in this eternal work a spiritual nourishment that you cannot help but devour eagerly until you reach the last line.
