The Prophet,
spent twenty years and eight editions refining this work.
The Arabic language is his greatest passion. As a graduate of English Language and Literature, his English language skills helped him translate one of the greatest books in history into Gibran's mother tongue, a book that has sold more than one hundred million copies worldwide and has been translated into more than a hundred languages.
Jamil revelled in the company of Gibran's visions and thoughts over the years, hence his relentless refinement to bring this
Golden Copy to
as close to perfection and thorough faithfulness to the original text as he possibly could. This obsession was driven by his primary purpose of providing Arabic readers with the same pleasure that readers of the original English text bask in.
