Description
“The Prophet” is a book of prose poetry by Kahlil Gibran, first published in 1923. The book is a collection of 26 essays, each of which is written in the form of a poetic sermon given by the prophet Almustafa. The book covers topics such as love, marriage, children, joy, sorrow, freedom, and friendship.
Almustafa is a prophet who has been living in a foreign city for 12 years and is about to board a ship to return to his homeland. As he prepares to leave, he is approached by a group of people who ask him to speak to them about the mysteries of life. Almustafa’s sermons, which are delivered in a beautiful and lyrical style, are his responses to their questions.
The book’s poetic language and philosophical insights have made it a beloved classic, and it has been translated into more than 40 languages. The themes of the book – including the search for spiritual truth, the importance of love and human relationships, and the struggle to find meaning in life – have resonated with readers around the world for generations. “The Prophet” has become a staple of spiritual literature and is often used in ceremonies such as weddings and funerals.
