    Xmmigrant RACES MASSACHUSETTS the SYRIANS

    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

    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)

    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.

  • Gibran Kahlil (Gibrān Khalīl Gibrān) Biography and Achievements (1883-1931)

    Gibran Kahlil (Gibrān Khalīl Gibrān) Biography and Achievements (1883-1931)

    Institute of Lebanese Thought at Notre Dame University – Louaize, Lebanon Gibran Kahlil (Gibrān Khalīl Gibrān) Biography and Achievements (1883-1931) Prelude It goes without saying that Gibran Khalīl is one of the most prominent and famous Lebanese figures, known nationally and internationally. His good reputation was gained in two sectors: literature and art. His work, biography and personality draw interest and they were, until this day, piquing the curiosity of many researchers and scholars from all over the world. Many researches and studies were conducted on Gibran’s personality and work. In the valuable and elaborative analytical-synthetic study written by “Ghāzī Fūʾād Brax” on Gibran’s style in literature, personality and work, Brax classified all what was written about him in three categories1: the first one is when “the facts were mixed with illusions” and were written in a narrative style that was sometimes supportive (as in “Barbara Yang Book”2) and in other times was dominated by self-display (as Mīkhāʾīl Nuʿaymah’s book was critiqued3). In the second category, the authors avoided the previous mistakes; however, they sometimes succeeded and in other times failed (as in Jabr4 and other books). In the third category, they followed the scientific method, which has helped them to correct their previous mistakes and avoid roving (as with Khalīl Ḥāwī5 and Anṭūn Ghaṭṭās Karam6). 1 Brax, Ghāzī, Gibran Kahlil: An analytical-synthetic study on Gibran’s personality, art and achievements, Printing And Publishing House of An-Nisr Al-Mūḥalliq, Beirut, Lebanon, 1973, pp. 17-19. 2 Young, Barbara, This Man From Lebanon: A Study Of Kahlil Gibran, New York, A.A.
