Book excerpt: Excerpt from Khaled: A Tale of Arabia Khaled stood in the third heaven, which is the heaven of precious stones, and of Asrael, the angel of Death. In the midst of the light shed by the fruit of the trees Asrael himself is sitting, and will sit until the day of the resurrection from the dead, writing in his book the names of those who are to be born, and blotting out the names of those who have lived their years and must die. Each of the trees has seventy thousand branches, each branch bears seventy thousand fruits, each fruit is composed of seventy thousand diamonds, rubies, emeralds, carbuncles, jacinths, and other precious stones. The stature and proportions of Asrael are so great that his eyes are seventy thousand days' journey apart, the one from the other. Khaled stood motionless during ten months and thirteen days, waiting until Asrael should rest from his writing and look towards him.

Download or read book Arabia Classic Reprint written by D. G. Hogarth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-02-16 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Arabia The following sketch, in which an attempt is made to cover the history of Arabia from our earliest knowledge down to the entry of Arabs into the Great War, was written to make one fourth part of a volume planned to comprehend also Syria, Mesopotamia, and Persia. The original scheme, however, could not be carried out and my sketch, slight and summary as it is, has to appear by itself. Since I am not an Arabist, it is hardly necessary to say that I owe much to other writers - most, perhaps, to Gaetani, Huart, snouck-hurgronje, and Margoliouth. The last named has laid me under the deepest obliga tion; for he has been so good as to read my book in proof, and to correct in several places my ignorance or my inadvertence. But mine remains the entire responsibility for both the matter and the manner of the following pages. The orthography adopted for Arabic words will be seen to involve a compromise between scientific transliteration and the vulgar spelling of familiar.

Download or read book Stories From the Arabian Nights Classic Reprint written by Michael Clarke and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories From the Arabian Nights In many of the stories mention is made of Haroun Alraschid. He was a great king who lived more than a thousand years ago in Bagdad, a city situated on the banks of the river Tigris, in the country now known as Turkey in Asia. The kings of Bagdad had the title of Caliph, a word which means "successor." They were so called because they were the successors of Mohammed, a celebrated teacher who founded the religion which since his time has prevailed in many parts of Asia, and Africa. His followers are called Mohammedans, and are also known as Mussulmans, or Moslems. They believe that Mohammed was a great prophet, and the chosen apostle of God. This belief they express in their prayers, which usually begin with these words: "There is no deity but God, and Mohammed is God's Apostle." The sacred book, or bible, of the Moslems is called the Koran, and they believe that what it contains was told to Mohammed by an angel sent down from heaven. The Caliph of Bagdad was head of the Mohammedan religion as well as king and ruler of the country. He was therefore addressed as "Commander of the Faithful," or "Prince of the Faithful," that is of those who believed in the prophet Mohammed. The chief minister of the Caliph was called the Vizier. Besides the Caliph there were other kings in Mohammedan countries. They were called Sultans, and were usually subject to the authority of the Caliph. The "Thousand and One Nights" has always been highly esteemed and admired in Europe and America as well as amongst the Arabs, who are great lovers of tales and romances. There is, perhaps, no other book of stories in existence which has afforded so much entertainment and delight to so many readers, old and young. Of course these stories are not true, but they give us a good deal of information as to the manners and customs of Eastern nations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Arabia Infelix: Or the Turks in Yamen Since this book went to press the Powers of Europe have grappled in a struggle that is shaking the western hemisphere. Turkey, after wobbling for weeks on the brink of hostilities, has been pushed over by her Turco-German war-party. The whole incident shows how a strong military clique can drive an unstable government to disaster. Turkeys attitude towards the British, who have guaranteed the integrity of her empire for more than half a century, is largely the outcome of Teutonic intrigue, but our action in retaining her two new battleships (the Sultan Osman and the Reshadieh) had more to do with it than most of us imagine. The subscription for those ships was a religious matter, to which all classes had contributed their utmost. We should not like our subscriptions for a new cathedral to be arbitrarily diverted to the building of a mosque. By the law of nations we were justified in our embargo on those battleships, but sentiment is impervious to logic, and popular feeling in Turkey became violently Anglophobe, though many of her greatest men realized what her departure from neutrality would mean.
