Happiness Without Death: Desert Hymns

by Assad Ali, Camille Hamilton Adams Helminski, Ibrahim Yahya Shihabi

Assad Ali is one of the most important figures in contemporary Arabic literature. The voice of these poems is the voice of the Desert in an ardent appeal to the Heart of Reality. As Dr. Ali himself says these hymns have not been written to address any one of the creatures even though they are exuberant with creatures' concerns and their true interest is in them and in appealing to God for them. They have been written in a method similar to physical training but as a spiritual training in the world of the body and the Word

Excellent book, loved it!!! I've read many books that I consider great and very moving and this is one of them! Deeply personal, very eloquent! Small book but it says a great deal about a man's relationship, deep love and respect for his creator. Very moving.
