After assuming the full control over Yemen, Abraha built a church in San'a and called it: Qulays. He wrote to the Ethiopian king: I have built a church similar to which none had existed before. Upon finishing its project, I will attract the pilgrims of Mecca to my church. [1] Year of the Elephant provides a perspective not often found in writing from and about Morocco. Abouzeid's text is deceptively simple, and readers will have plenty to ponder while savoring the book. One can only hope that this first novel by a Moroccan woman to be translated from Arabic to English is not the last. Ibid. As already mentioned in the introductory note, the particular chastisement to which the above verse alludes seems to have been a sudden epidemic of extreme virulence: according to Waqidi and Muhammad ibn Ishaq - the latter as quoted by Ibn Hisham and Ibn Kathir - "this was the first time that spotted fever (hasbah) and smallpox (judari) appeared in the land of the Arabs". It is interesting to note that the word hasbah - which, according to some authorities, signifies also typhus - primarily means "pelting [or smiting"] with stones" (Qamus)

Article contents

At Amboseli National Park, Kenya, female groups may consist of around ten members, including four adults and their dependent offspring. Here, a cow's life involves interaction with those outside her group. Two separate families may associate and bond with each other, forming what are known as bond groups. During the dry season, elephant families may aggregate into clans. These may number around nine groups, in which clans do not form strong bonds but defend their dry-season ranges against other clans. The Amboseli elephant population is further divided into the "central" and "peripheral" subpopulations. [100] Abdul Nasir Jangda - Tafsir lectures - Bayyinah Institute, 2300 Valley View ln.

After independence, Zahra's husband, now rising through the ranks of government bureaucracy, no longer wishes to be married to his traditional wife, who does not speak French, eat with a fork, or sit with men.

Contemporary Moroccan fiction is both vibrant and varied. It is a young literature, still in the process of testing boundaries and searching for its voice. At one end of the spectrum there are the consciously literary novels of authors working in French, including Driss Chraibi, Abdelhak Serhane and Tahar Ben Jelloun, winner of the prestigious Prix Goncourt. Kingdon, Jonathan (2013). Mammals of Africa. Bloomsbury. p.173. ISBN 9781408189962. Archived from the original on 21 March 2023 . Retrieved 6 June 2020. In contrast to the novella's immediate and relaxed style, the short stories also included in the volume are brief but powerful sketches, displaying a range of subtle humor, cold and detached observation, and ominous plots, all conveyed with an admirable economy of language that is one of the charms of Moroccan writing. The events of these stories are simple but profound, and Abouzeid often leaves the reader the task of explaining the character's motivations. While entertaining, these stories are not intended solely for entertainment's sake.
