One evening as I was watching the sun sinking beneath the waves of the sea, I thought to myself, ‘This same sun has risen and set countless times and, in that period, millions of lives have come to an end. Unless a person records the events and experiences of his days, his life will disappear without trace into the vastness of time and melt into the oblivion of history.’ At that moment I decided to fulfil my father‘s wish and write a book about his life as a businessman, who started the career that he loves so deeply at the age of sixteen and is still practising his profession today. Now in his seventies, he looks back over a long and busy working life in which he has been guided by the highest professional principles and driven by a determination to succeed. In his youth, my father risked his life to undertake long journeys by plane — at that time a recent invention — to Britain and the United States in order to transact his business deals. If he could not find a hotel room there, he sometimes had to sleep on the pavement but he triumphed over all difficulties and obstacles through his faith in God, his confidence in himself, his love of hard work and his burning desire to succeed and excel. Today, Yousuf Khalil Al-Moayyed and Sons is a landmark in the development of free market trading and a shining example to emulate for the youth of Bahrain who seek a career in this honourable profession. Although my father is now over seventy years old, he still continues to run his company with the help of his sons and daughters. He told me once that he only feels perfectly happy in himself when practising the profession which he chose over fifty years ago and in which he will be involved until the end of his days. Nevertheless, during his business life, my father’ has not neglected his native country, Bahrain. Indeed, this was the wellspring from which he imbibed his principles of excellence, patience and loyalty. His actions have always been dictated by his dedication and love for his country, whether serving in the banking sector in a number of responsible positions, or on social and welfare committees to establish projects beneficial to the nation, or in his charitable work through which he has devoted his own personal resources to building a better future for the Bahraini citizen. It is my father’s personal belief that he and his fellow businessmen regard their efforts to establish charitable projects as a duty to their country, which has given them its blessings so that they and all loyal individuals can, in turn, build Bahrain into an advanced and progressive nation.

Textual Relations in the Qur'an

Relevance, Coherence and Structure

By: Salwa M. El-Awa

Representing a new development in the study of Qur'anic text, this book tackles the issue of Qur'anic text structure by fusing the fields of linguistics and Qur'anic studies. The Qur'an contains many long suras covering diverse topics but with no apparent common context within which such variety can be explained. This book proposes a new explanation of Qur'anic text structure, arguing that the long suras have structure that are explicable within a framework for the mechanisms of human verbal communication. Through a systematic step-by-step analysis of the cognitive process involved in verbal communication and comprehension of text, this work provides interesting and useful insights into methods of analysis, mechanisms and dynamics of the Qur'anic text structure. The unique application of a sophisticated linguistic theory to the Qur'an introduces an entirely new way of reading the Qur'an and with detailed analysis of two Qur'anic passages the book presents a solid working out of the theory that will be accessible to both linguists and scholars of the Qur'an.

The First Barrel of Fortune

By: Dr. Salwa Al-Nuaimi

In the span of one generation, the nation witnessed the rapid modernisation, following the discovery of oil, from a scattered tribal land with a primitive economic structure to the regional and global economic powerhouse the UAE became by the late twentieth century. Through interviews from those who steered and experienced the changes, The First Barrel of Fortune explores the development of not only the economy but also the changes on Emirati society’s three pillars – the tribe, Islam and the family. “He who does not know his past cannot make the best of his present and future, for it is from the past that we learn.” – Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan
