▪️Title: The Epistle of Forgiveness ▪️Author: Abu Al-Ala Al-Ma'arri #Abu_Al-Ala_Al-Ma'arri ▪️Genre: #Philosophy #Poetry #Arabic_Literature ▪️Time: 4 hours and 34 minutes The Epistle of Forgiveness book - Abu Al-Ala Al-Ma'arri The Epistle of Forgiveness is one of the gems of Arabic literature; it is a prose epistle in a critical narrative guise and a philosophical tongue that embodies a divine comedy, in which the human stage is heaven and hell. This epistle includes Abu Al-Ala's views on religion, science, and morals, and on the methods and arts of peoples. He wrote it in response to the epistle of Ibn Al-Qarih, who made him a knight riding the horse of his imaginary epistle in which he dialogued with poets, writers, and linguists. Abu Al-Ala begins his epistle by mentioning the good effect of Ibn Al-Qarih's epistle on himself, then gives free rein to his wild imagination; It describes to us the status that Ibn Al-Qarih has reached in the afterlife, and it classifies the ranks of poets in Heaven and Hell, with what interceded for them from poems that brought them down to the homes of the gardens of Paradise, such as Zuhair bin Abi Salma. The imagination in this message is adorned with a sparkle of the guidance of reality, and this is what ensured the logic of this message despite its wearing of imaginary garments. #Philosophy #Thought #Human #Spirituality #Information #Knowledge #Novel
