Description
Like a devoted seeker who never tires of tracing the spiritual stations of a saint, the creative writer Abbas Arnaout followed in the footsteps of the great mystic Al-Husayn ibn Mansur al-Hallaj—drawing inspiration from his light in various texts and invoking his values in short narratives. This long, enduring engagement has culminated in the book: *Al-Hallaj… And the Heart Trembled with Love*.
Excerpts from the book:
A well-known saying goes:
Some worship God out of desire—this is the worship of merchants.
Some worship God out of fear—this is the worship of slaves.
Some worship God out of gratitude—this is the worship of the free.
To this, Al-Hallaj adds:
And some worship God out of love—this is the worship of lovers.
