"Of all the literature and books on
science, psychology, history, poetry, that I've ever read,
listened to or learned about, nothing can match the writings of
Khalil Gibran."
- Birthplace: Basharri, Lebanon
- Lifetime: 1/6/1883 A.D. - Passed 4/10/1931
The Prophet
 "With his book,
The Prophet, he was not claiming to be
one. He was merely saying if a Prophet could speak with
you on various subjects, this is the wisdom he would pass onto
you. This book gives guidelines for everyday living for all the
communities around the world. It is a gift which you are to read
frequently and with as much fervency as you read The
Raatib of the Guide (Al Mahdi of the Sudan), and The
Book of Light of myself the Reformer (Al Mujaddid of this
day and time Dr. Malachi Z. York-El).
The Prophet has been translated into more than twenty
languages. Within the different versions I've come across, none
has been able to capture the essence of his writings, thus I've
decided to translate it from the original Arabic." Paraphrased
from a note from the translator, Dr.
Malachi Z. York-El.
