Notebooks from Makkah & Madinah: Author Session
October 12, 2010
“To discover the pot of gold at the foot of the Divine rainbow, our learned Shaikhs advise us that our focus before the pilgrimage is its intention. Following closely on the heels of the niyyah is the nature of our personal conduct, or adab, in travelling to the Bait-ullah (the House of Allah) where we are His guests.”
So begins the first paragraph of Shafiq Morton’s ‘Notebooks from Makkah & Madinah’
Dear Friends
As we enter the season of Haj, Wardah Books is pleased to announce that Shafiq Morton will be at our store on Saturday 16 October 2010, 3pm to 4pm. He will be talking about his new book, ‘Notebooks from Makkah & Madinah’.
Shafiq Morton’s astute observations on the Hijaz, Turkey and modern-day Haj, all seen through a Sunni and Sufi lens, make an engaging and engrossing read.
Shafiq is from Cape Town, South Africa where he works as a radio presenter. ‘Notebooks from Makkah & Madinah’, which is part travel-diary, part essay, showcases his talent for writing and for drawing out stories that resonate in history and tradition – from the Holy Hadiths to the Ihya of Imam Ghazali and the stories of Ayoub Ansari. And perhaps it was in recognition of this talent that his Master, the late Sayyid Muhammad ibn ‘Alawi al-Maliki, gave him the pen with which Shafiq wrote the first draft of ‘Notebooks’.
Everyone is welcome.
