small death

Product details


"From the time God created me in Murcia until He took me in Damascus, I was on an uninterrupted journey. I saw lands, met people, accompanied saints, and lived under the rule of the Almohads, the Ayyubids, the Abbasids, and the Seljuks on a path that God ordained for me before my creation. Whoever is born in a besieged city is born with an unbridled desire to break free from the walls. The believer is on a perpetual journey. All of existence is a journey within a journey. Whoever abandons travel settles down, and whoever settles down returns to nothingness."




"A beautiful novel, worth reading."
