"Being Human Always Points, And Is Directed, To Something Or Someone, Other Than Oneself -- Be It A Meaning
"Being human always points, and is directed, to something or someone, other than oneself -- be it a meaning to fulfill or another human being to encounter. The more one forgets himself -- by giving himself to a cause to serve or another person to love -- the more human he is."

Omg I want to read this too!
So very excited to start this book! With practice, inshaAllah, I’ll improve my Arabic. Radwa Ashour is a novelist, critic, and Professor of English literature in Egypt. Granada is the first part of a trilogy and was named Best Book of the Year by the General Egyptian Book Organization in 1994, and won first prize in the first Arab Women’s Book Fair two years later. The book sends us on a journey as we try to remember the lost shards of Islamic Spain. A work of historical fiction set in the aftermath of the Castilian takeover of the lone Islamic kingdom of Granada in 1492, Granada tells the story of an extended family grappling with the consequences of that political catastrophe for the Muslim community. I have never been so excited to delve into a paperback as I am now. I know once I’m done I’ll need the English version.
