- Summary:
- "Yahia Lababidi's work is characterized by a contemplative tone in line with Rumi, whom he often quotes. Lababidi is a Muslim voice for peace, celebrating the wisdom in ancient traditions and pointing out the ridiculous in the rush and cynicism of contemporary life. Drawn to the mystic tradition, he often refers to the virtues and fruits of silence, and writes that his aphorisms "respect the wisdom of silence by disturbing it, briefly." Perhaps an age as thoughtless and noisy as our own requires a whole book full of them."
