Gibran Khalil Gibran: A Lebanese poet, short story writer, artist, and writer, one of the pioneers of the Renaissance in the Arab region, and one of the great symbolic writers. He is "Gibran bin Khalil bin Mikhail bin Saad", born in the town of "Bsharri" in northern Lebanon in 1883 AD, to a poor Maronite family. Since his childhood, he traveled with his family to the United States in 1895 AD, and there tuberculosis spread in his family, so they died one after the other, and as a result, Gibran suffered greatly psychologically and materially, until he met a woman named "Mary Haskell"; who admired his art, adopted him and gave him a lot of her money and affection. Gibran studied the art of painting in the United States, and he deepened his studies when he traveled to France later. In addition to being a brilliant artist, a distinguished writer and storyteller, he was the founder of a literary school with a special color. Gibran was characterized by his vast imagination, deep thinking, abundant production, and easy style that combined the warmth of conscience, the beauty of the image, the influence of nature, and the commitment to drawing meaning while surrounding it with an aura of mystery. His narratives are largely symbolic, which stimulates the mind and thought of the recipient. Love has a great place in Gibran's life. He - like the Arab Udhri poets and the romantics in the West - believes in the fate of love and its fatality that man cannot reject or avoid. Gibran had many stories in this world; he loved twelve women, nine of whom were older than him, and among these women were Mary Kahwaji, Mary Khoury, and Corinne Roosevelt (the sister of the American President), but his most famous love story was with the writer May Ziadeh, whom he never saw and who never saw him, so the correspondence and letters between them were the meeting. Many Syrian and Lebanese writers and poets gathered around Gibran, such as Mikhail Naimy, Abdul-Masih Haddad, and Nasib Arida, and together they established what they called the "Pen League", through which they wanted to renew Arabic literature and extract it from its stagnant swamp. This league was founded in his home in 1920, and they elected him as its dean. Gibran Khalil Gibran died in New York in 1931 due to tuberculosis and cirrhosis of the liver. Gibran wished to be buried in Lebanon, and his wish was fulfilled in 1932; his remains were transferred there, and he was buried there in what is now known as the Gibran Museum. When Gibran writes about his prophet, the human values and meanings that transcend any religion, race or color are embodied; it is humanity in its most beautiful form. There is no doubt that the book "The Prophet" is the jewel of what Gibran Khalil Gibran wrote, the summary of what he reached, and the essence of his personal experiences and outlook on life. He included in it all his opinions on life and death, food and drink, love and marriage, and others. Therefore, Gibran considered it his "second birth" that he had been waiting for a thousand years. Gibran narrates his opinions through the tongue of the wise "Mustafa" who remained away from his homeland for twelve years, and lived among the inhabitants of the island of "Orphalese" as one of them, waiting for his return to his birthplace. When the ship docks and the time comes for his departure, the inhabitants of the island ask him to address them; It was the farewell sermon in which he summarized his doctrine. In his book, Gibran succeeded in transcending the boundaries of his religion, to establish the foundations of humanity that respects man for being a man, not for any other factor Music: Sohaib Nabo Reading: Nizar Taha Hajj Ahmad #Gibran_Khalil_Gibran #Gibran_Khalil_Gibran #The_prophet #Lisan_Arabi #Lisan_Arabic
