one of the most beloved books of all time. It comprises 26 prose poems delivered as
philosophical, spiritual, and inspirational sermons by the wise Al Mustapha on the big
questions of life—love, marriage, children, giving, eating and drinking, work, joy and sorrow, housing, clothes, buying and selling, crime and punishment, laws, freedom, reason and passion, pain, self-knowledge, teaching, friendship, talking, time, good and evil, prayer, pleasure, beauty, religion and death.

making this beautiful book a delightful gift for anyone seeking enlightenment and inspiration.
