    CPS 17 1320 xMMIGRANT RACES IN MASSACHUSETTS THE SYRIANS WRITTEN FOR THE MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Division of Education of Aliens BY WILLIAM I. COLE, PROFESSOR OF APPLIED SOCIOLOGY, WHEAT^N COLLEGE PUBLICATION OF THIS DOCUMENT APPROVED BT THE SUPERVISOR OF ADMINISTRATION. IMMIGRANT RACES IN MASSACHUSETTS THE SYRIANS Background. The background which the Syrians bring with them to this country, and against which they are seen, is composite. In this respect it is not unlike the backgrounds of most of our immigrant races. Fragments of many different places and times, of many different peoples and civilizations, enter into it. There are the snowy peaks, the lonely villages, the ancient cedars, the olive and mulberry plantations, and the grain fields of Mount Lebanon. There are the Tyre and Sidon of to-day, towns insignificant in themselves, but shining in the reflected glory of the Tyre and Sidon of the remote past, the wealthy and powerful cities of Iving Hiram. There is Damascus, thriving and populous, "beautiful for situation" in the luxuriant plains of Anti-Lebanon. It, too, is seen against a far older and more splendid self, — the Damascus toward which Saul of Tarsus journeyed. There are also fragments of many races and civilizations. We get glimpses of the Bedouins, those nomadic Arabs of the desert; and, far in the distance, the shadowy figures of other Arabs and hints of a civilization which has made Bagdad forever the city of romance. There are, finally, although dimly seen, the hills and valleys, the cities and towns of the Holy Land; and, rising far beyond, the misty outlines of Mount Sinai.

  • Understanding the Concept of Islamic Sufism
    Journal of Education & Social Policy Vol. 1 No. 1; June 2014 Understanding the Concept of Islamic Sufism Shahida Bilqies Research Scholar, Shah-i-Hamadan Institute of Islamic Studies University of Kashmir, Srinagar-190006 Jammu and Kashmir, India. Sufism, being the marrow of the bone or the inner dimension of the Islamic revelation, is the means par excellence whereby Tawhid is achieved. All Muslims believe in Unity as expressed in the most Universal sense possible by the Shahadah, la ilaha ill’Allah. The Sufi has realized the mysteries of Tawhid, who knows what this assertion means. It is only he who sees God everywhere.1 Sufism can also be explained from the perspective of the three basic religious attitudes mentioned in the Qur’an. These are the attitudes of Islam, Iman and Ihsan.There is a Hadith of the Prophet (saw) which describes the three attitudes separately as components of Din (religion), while several other traditions in the Kitab-ul-Iman of Sahih Bukhari discuss Islam and Iman as distinct attitudes varying in religious significance. These are also mentioned as having various degrees of intensity and varieties in themselves. The attitude of Islam, which has given its name to the Islamic religion, means Submission to the Will of Allah. This is the minimum qualification for being a Muslim. Technically, it implies an acceptance, even if only formal, of the teachings contained in the Qur’an and the Traditions of the Prophet (saw). Iman is a more advanced stage in the field of religion than Islam. It designates a further penetration into the heart of religion and a firm faith in its teachings.

  • The Prophet (Discussion Questions)
    The Prophet (Discussion Questions) 1. Is Lebanese or Arab patriotism discernable? What is Gibran's view of America? Is there a political dimension to his work? 2. Can you identify with any of the characters? Does Gibran want you to identify with them? Do you think somebody in Lebanon would feel closer or less close to them? Why? 3. What is the prophet's message? What is his vision of human relationships in society? 4. How, overall, does Almustafa rate his ministry to Orphalese? 5. Can Gibran's writing be classified as immigration literature or are there more universal themes at work here? Could it just be romantic idealism? 6. How does Almitra figure in The Prophet? 7. How does Almustafa view nudity? 8. How does Almustafa relate to cities? 9. What is the function of human labor? 10. What is God's function in The Prophet? Is God a creator, provider, or savior, or does God serve some other function? 11. Does Almustafa's enigmatic promise to return through reincarnation fit in with his teachings on human nature? https://www.grpl.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/The-Prophet.pdf The Prophet (About the Author) Kahlil Gibran, known in Arabic as Gibran Khalil Gibran, was born January 6, 1883, in Bsharri, Lebanon, which at the time was part of Syria and part of the Ottoman Empire. In 1885 Gibran emigrated with his mother and siblings to the United States, where they settled in the large Syrian and Lebanese community in Boston, Massachusetts. In 1904 Gibran began publishing articles in an Arabic-language newspaper and also had his first public exhibit of his drawings, which were championed by the Boston photographer Fred Holland Day.

A dissertation presented By Sana Tannoury Karam ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University December 2017 2 This dissertation is an intellectual and cultural history of an invisible generation of leftists that were active in Lebanon, and more generally in the Levant, between the years 1920 and 1948. It chronicles the foundation and development of this intellectual milieu within the political Left, and how intellectuals interpreted leftist principles and struggled to maintain a fluid, ideologically non-rigid space, in which they incorporated an array of ideas and affinities, and formulated their own distinct worldviews. More broadly, this study is concerned with how intellectuals in the post-World War One period engaged with the political sphere and negotiated their presence within new structures of power. It explains the social, political, as well as personal contexts that prompted intellectuals embrace certain ideas. Using periodicals, personal papers, memoirs, and collections of primary material produced by this milieu, this dissertation argues that leftist intellectuals pushed to politicize the role and figure of the ‘intellectual’.

  • Lebanese and Syrians in Egypt
    Lebanese and Syrians in Egypt ALBERT HOURANI The land which lies to the east of Egypt, across the Sinai Peninsula, was known to previous generations of European travellers and writers as ‘Syria’, and to Egyptians as Barr al-Sham. When those who had been born there emigrated, they usually referred to themselves as ‘Syrians’. This chapter will deal with all of them, whether or not they came from the land which is now the Lebanese Republic, and whether they called themselves Syrians or Lebanese. Syria (in this broader sense) and Egypt lie so close to each other that the movement of people between them has been continuous, although for the most part it has gone from Syria to Egypt rather than in the opposite direction. It has been unlike the movements which are the subject of other chapters in this book, in that it has been, at least for the last millennium or so, a movement within the same world of language, belief and culture. Merchants carried the products of Syria by land across the Sinai peninsula or by sea from the Syrian ports to the Mediterranean ports of Egypt, and students went to study at the great centre of Islamic learning, the Azhar mosque in Cairo. The movement must have increased when the two countries were incorporated in the same empire and therefore the same trading area, as they were during the period of Ayyubid and Mamluk rule from the twelfth to the fifteenth century, and later during that of the Ottomans. Many of those who went from Syria to Egypt remained there.
