He wrote it in English at the beginning of the twentieth century, and more than forty translations were translated into Arabic. The best and sweetest of them, from my point of view, was the translation by Dr. Tharwat Okasha.<br \/>\nDr. Okasha says about him: It is a sap of pain, experience, and adversity, formulated with beauty and wisdom.<br \/>\nGibran was honest with himself, and his life, his feelings, the turmoil of his soul, the pangs of his conscience, his fear, the harsh circumstances around him, and the bitterness of his life, were carried out by his pen and his brush. My passion for learning to draw at the age of sixty may have been influenced by him, so that I could add paintings to my words that complement their meanings, as Gibran used to do, for his brush was his scepter after his pen.<br \/>\nGibran says in one of his most beautiful sayings about marriage, and I am convinced and repeat:<br \/>\n\u201cYou were born together, and together you remain&#8230;<br \/>\nBut, let there be spaces between you&#8230;<br \/>\nAnd let each of you love the other, but do not make love a shackle&#8230;<br \/>\nRather, make it a flowing sea between the shores of your souls.<br \/>\nAnd let them rise together&#8230;but without touching each other&#8230;<br \/>\nLet one of you fill his companion&#8217;s cup, but do not drink from one cup&#8230;<br \/>\nAnd let each of you give the other some of his loaf, and be careful not to agree on one loaf.<br \/>\nSing&#8230;and dance&#8230;and have fun together, but let everyone be alone&#8230;<br \/>\nThe columns of the temple are based on a separation&#8230;<br \/>\nAnd the strings of the harp sound, and if they tighten, they will separate&#8230;<br \/>\nGibran says about children, which is the wisdom of dealing with young people as well, whether we are parents or teachers, which has penetrated my conscience and is still systematic in my thinking:<br \/>\n\u201cYour children, what are your children&#8230;<br \/>\nThey are born with a longing for life itself,<br \/>\nThrough you they come to life, but not from you.<br \/>\nAnd if they live under your care, then they are not yours&#8230;<br \/>\nYou may house their bodies, not their souls&#8230;<br \/>\nDo not try to make them like you, but rather try to be like them<br \/>\nLife does not go backwards&#8230;nor does it slow down as it did yesterday.\u201d<br \/>\nHe sings, on the tongue of the Prophet in his book, what made me understand a different meaning of giving that penetrates my soul, saying:<br \/>\n\u201cYou give little&#8230;when you give from what you have,<br \/>\nIf you give of yourself, you truly give&#8230;.<br \/>\nDo you only have things that you take care of and guard for fear that you will need them tomorrow?<br \/>\nIs the fear of need anything but the need itself? &#8221;<br \/>\n\u201cIt is beautiful to give to someone who asks you&#8230;and it is more beautiful to give to someone who does not ask you and you realize his need.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cHow often do we say that you pour myself into giving, but I only give to those who deserve it\u2026.<br \/>\nThis is not the saying of the trees in your garden&#8230; nor the flowers in your garden&#8230; nor the flocks in your pasture.<br \/>\nShe gives in order to live, because refraining from giving is the path to perdition.<br \/>\nThen he says: \u201cAnd who are you that people should reveal to you what is hidden in their chests and cast off the cloak of pride, so that you see in them naked destinies and neglected pride?<br \/>\nLook first: Are you worthy of purity and a tool for giving?<br \/>\nThe truth is that life is what gives life, and you, who think you are a giver, are not the only witness to that.\u201d<br \/>\nI can almost see Gibran\u2019s genius in Al-Mustafa\u2019s dialogue with his people when he says about clothes:<br \/>\n\u201cDo not forget that modesty is a shield that protects you from the looks of impure people. If the impurity is removed, what remains is anything but the contact of your bodies and your feelings with the beauty of God\u2019s breath.\u201d<br \/>\nLove is considered to Gibran as it is to me<br \/>\nPresti<br \/>\nPartnership, spiritual harmony and being. Some researchers have given Gibran\u2019s concept of love a special name, which is \u201cgebraic love.\u201d Women played a major role in his life, and even in the formation of his intellectual and artistic personality, and the combination of feelings of love, friendship, and intimate meeting despite the distance between him and May Ziadeh, whom he had never met physically, and yet they were united intellectually and spiritually, in love and friendship, was an inspiring matter.. Perhaps my vision of the friendship between Men and women have been shaped by my life experiences, as Gibran describes, and I said this describing my philosophy: \u201cThe beautiful thing about friendship with a woman is that there is no blame in it and no need to justify an action or absence.\u201d<br \/>\nGibran says, and I see it in my relationships with my friends: \u201cA fake friend is like a shadow. He walks behind me when I am in the sun, and disappears when I am in the dark.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cSave for your friend the best that is in yourself. If he has the right to know the ebbs and flows of your life, then let him also know the tides that flood it.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cAnd what kind of friend is this that you only seek to spend your free time with?<br \/>\nA friend was not found to fill the emptiness of your soul, but to fill your need, and mix the sweetness of friendship with laughter, joy, and happiness.\u201d<br \/>\nGibran followed two trends in his writings. One took force and revolted against the rules of Salafism in religion, and the other loved enjoying a pure life, and he expressed both trends together, as he expressed in his poem \u201cThe Processions\u201d sung by the Lebanese singer Fairouz: \u201cGive me the flute and sing, for singing is the secret of immortality, and the groaning of the flute remains after That existence ceases to exist.\u201d<br \/>\nGibran interacted with the issues of his time, the most important of which was his revolt against Arab subordination to the Ottoman Empire, which he fought in his books and letters. Given his Christian background, Gibran was keen to clarify his position that he respected Islam and wished for the return of its glory, and was against the politicization of religion, whether Islamic or Christian.<br \/>\nIn this regard, Gibran wrote in an article that he described as a letter \u201cto Muslims from a Christian poet\u201d:<br \/>\nI hate the Ottoman Empire, but I love the Turks, and I burn with jealousy for the nations sleeping under the Ottoman flag.<br \/>\nI do not like illness, but I love a diseased body. I hate paralysis, but I love limbs affected by it&#8230;. I revere the Qur\u2019an, but I despise those who use the Qur\u2019an and hadiths as a means to thwart the efforts of true Islam and true Muslims. I also despise those who use the Bible as a means of ruling and beheading Christians.<br \/>\nHe says: \u201cReligions, despite their differences, are one religion.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: left;\">He used to keep Jesus in half of his chest, and Muhammad in the other half, and whisper to every citizen living in the Arab world, \u201cYou are my brother, and I love you. I love you prostrating in your mosque, kneeling in your temple, and praying in your church. You and I have one religion and the branches of this religion are fingers joined.\u201d In the hand of divinity, which points to the perfection of the soul.\u201d<br \/>\nGibran possessed a literary style that distinguished him greatly from other poets and writers of his time. Among his most prominent sayings that express our era are:<br \/>\n\u201cThe platform of humanity is its silent heart, not its talkative tongue.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cBetween something spoken that was not intended and something intended that was not spoken, a lot of love is lost.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cPerhaps disagreement is the shortest distance between two ideas.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThe truth needs two men: a man who speaks it and a man who understands it.\u201d<br \/>\nAs for freedom, his approach was different from most of what I read, but his wisdom was great when he said about freedom:<br \/>\n\u201cIf there is a tyrant in front of you whose throne you want to replace, first make sure that he has destroyed the throne that you established for him in yourself. Is it possible for a tyrant to rule the free or the honorable unless their freedom is marred by tyranny and their pride is mixed with shame?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cIf tyranny is a concern that you would like to get rid of, then you are the one who chose it for yourself, and no one imposed it on you&#8230; And if it is a fear that you would like to dispel, then it resides in your heart, and its reins are not in the hands of the one you fear.\u201d<br \/>\nI say: Freedom does not come to us, but rather we must aspire to it and be liberated within ourselves from slavery to an unjust ruler or to ideas that take possession of our souls and are dictated to us by others.<br \/>\nGibran said: \u201cI learned silence from the chatterbox, leniency from the fanatic, kindness from the harsh person, and what is strangest of all is that I do not acknowledge the kindness of these teachers.\u201d<br \/>\nAnd I realized that I was repeating the meaning when I said to my students: I learned from the most skilled doctors, but I learned a lot from the most ignorant and least skilled of them. When I was a young doctor, I used to tell myself to remember to never do the same as them. A person always learns from everyone around him.<br \/>\nPerhaps you, reader, if you have known me, read me, or watched me, have realized the extent of Gibran\u2019s influence on my emotions, my sentences, and my words, from his unity of existence and religions, his vision of beauty, his definition of love and friendship, his wisdom in human relationships, and his expression of his philosophy in word and drawing\u2026. .<br \/>\nMay God have mercy on those who inspired me with their art and illuminated my mind with their wisdom.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cGreat people created conscience&#8230;\u201d In continuation of mentioning the extent of the influence of those to whom I dedicate the books \u201cAn Invitation to Think\u201d and \u201cDare to Think,\u201d I am writing today about a character whose family and friends around me say that I never stop referring to his words in my conversations with &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11473,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[167,103,16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9919","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-2024-collective-articles","category-all-articles","category-articles-by-dr-badrawi"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Great people created conscience - By Hossam Badrawi - Dr. Hossam Badrawi<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/great-people-created-conscience-by-hossam-badrawi\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Great people created conscience - By Hossam Badrawi - Dr. Hossam Badrawi\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"\u201cGreat people created conscience&#8230;\u201d In continuation of mentioning the extent of the influence of those to whom I dedicate the books \u201cAn Invitation to Think\u201d and \u201cDare to Think,\u201d I am writing today about a character whose family and friends around me say that I never stop referring to his words in my conversations with &hellip;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/great-people-created-conscience-by-hossam-badrawi\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Dr. Hossam Badrawi\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hossambadrawi\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:author\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hossambadrawi\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-04-12T10:17:09+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-04-18T10:45:14+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/417396629_962554288568317_2836289612674850577_n.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"930\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"806\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Dr. Hossam Badrawi\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@HossamBadrawi\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@HossamBadrawi\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Dr. Hossam Badrawi\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"9 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"NewsArticle\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.hossambadrawi.com\\\/en\\\/great-people-created-conscience-by-hossam-badrawi\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.hossambadrawi.com\\\/en\\\/great-people-created-conscience-by-hossam-badrawi\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Dr. Hossam Badrawi\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.hossambadrawi.com\\\/en\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/71dac15488abcc9dd96527db12aee32a\"},\"headline\":\"Great people created conscience &#8211;

He is the former head of the Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine Cairo University. He conducted his post graduate studies from 1979 till 1981 in the United States. He was elected as a member of the Egyptian Parliament and chairman of the Education and Scientific Research Committee in the Parliament from 2000 till 2005. As a politician, Dr. Hossam Badrawi was known for his independent stances. His integrity won the consensus of all people from various political trends. During the era of former president Hosni Mubarak he was called The Rationalist in the National Democratic Party NDP because his political calls and demands were consistent to a great extent with calls for political and democratic reform in Egypt. He was against extending the state of emergency and objected to the National Democratic Party's unilateral constitutional amendments during the January 25, 2011 revolution. He played a very important political role when he defended, from the very first beginning of the revolution, the demonstrators' right to call for their demands. He called on the government to listen and respond to their demands. Consequently and due to Dr. Badrawi's popularity, Mubarak appointed him as the NDP Secretary General thus replacing the members of the Bureau of the Commission. During that time, Dr. Badrawi expressed his political opinion to Mubarak that he had to step down. He had to resign from the party after 5 days of his appointment on February 10 when he declared his political disagreement with the political leadership in dealing with the demonstrators who called for handing the power to the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, from the very first moment his stance was clear by rejecting a religion-based state which he considered as aiming to limit the Egyptians down to one trend.

He is the former head of the Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine Cairo University. He conducted his post graduate studies from 1979 till 1981 in the United States. He was elected as a member of the Egyptian Parliament and chairman of the Education and Scientific Research Committee in the Parliament from 2000 till 2005. As a politician, Dr. Hossam Badrawi was known for his independent stances. His integrity won the consensus of all people from various political trends. During the era of former president Hosni Mubarak he was called The Rationalist in the National Democratic Party NDP because his political calls and demands were consistent to a great extent with calls for political and democratic reform in Egypt. He was against extending the state of emergency and objected to the National Democratic Party's unilateral constitutional amendments during the January 25, 2011 revolution. He played a very important political role when he defended, from the very first beginning of the revolution, the demonstrators' right to call for their demands. He called on the government to listen and respond to their demands. Consequently and due to Dr. Badrawi's popularity, Mubarak appointed him as the NDP Secretary General thus replacing the members of the Bureau of the Commission. During that time, Dr. Badrawi expressed his political opinion to Mubarak that he had to step down. He had to resign from the party after 5 days of his appointment on February 10 when he declared his political disagreement with the political leadership in dealing with the demonstrators who called for handing the power to the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, from the very first moment his stance was clear by rejecting a religion-based state which he considered as aiming to limit the Egyptians down to one trend. He considered deposed president Mohamed Morsi's decision to bring back the People's Assembly as a reinforcement of the US-supported dictatorship. He was among the first to denounce the incursion of Morsi's authority over the judicial authority, condemning the Brotherhood militias' blockade of the Supreme Constitutional Court. Dr. Hossam supported the Tamarod movement in its beginning and he declared that toppling the Brotherhood was a must and a pressing risk that had to be taken few months prior to the June 30 revolution and confirmed that the army would support the legitimacy given by the people","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hossambadrawi\/","https:\/\/x.com\/HossamBadrawi"]}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9919","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9919"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9919\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11480,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9919\/revisions\/11480"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11473"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9919"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
