I see so many Hispanic, Black and many other ethnic groups scholarship opportunities. But this is the first time I came across an Arab one.
Thank you.

What a wonderful a surprise to discover such an excellent site on this author I was not familiar with.
Next to Gibran and the contemporary ones such as Alexandre Najjar, Amin Maalouf or Elias Khoury, Rihani will definitely find his place on my bookcase, and memory, to honor Lebanon, a Dearest Land to mine, in the language of my heart. I am touched by his in-betweenness of two worlds and two languages, that I also share, and I cannot wait to meet his soul through his words and generosity to the world.
And be sure I will pay a visit to the Museum on my trip to Beyrouth next February.
Thank you for hosting my thoughts and providing so deep a feeling of what encountering is, sometimes.

Great inspiration for all of us!

I designed a course in celebration of Rihani's life and contributions for newly admitted students to the University of Michigan, Dearborn. The Course LIBS 113 will be offered in the Fall, 2009. I own several memos from the author to an immigrant from Nazareth named Ameen Farah.
May their memory be eternal.

I just started my PhD on Charles Malik in the University of London's School of Oriental and Africa Studies, and the first exercise that the supervisor gave me was to look into Amin al-Rihani and try to find common ground with Malik.

Your site is amazing. I would like to suggest that you include one more section to your site about writing services, such as term-paper writing, essay writing and thesis writing.

I am trying to reach the Temenos Academy for two weeks or so. Is there any possibility that you could help me? I am a professor of Islamic theology, and work as a calligrapher and have a need to visit the Academy.

Could anyone send me any works of Amin, dated 1900 about New York (The New World)?

I am very proud to be Lebanese, and very proud of you Ameen Rihani.

I would like to learn more about his novels in English, by the 1900's.

The author Amin Al Rihani has two portraits: The first one of an Arabic literature writer that i read about in 'Qualb Loubnan' while at school, in addition to other Lebanese writers like Maroun Abboud, Youssef Awwad, Mikhael Neameh, and of course Gibran. The other side of A. Rihani is of a Pan Arab Nationalist, i.e. a Politician to the side of Sharif Hussein, Constantine Zureik and others.

I mentioned his name in a salute tribute to his efforts in Arabic Nationalism in two of my papers published on the Morepist Press website s.com/mp/. The first one about "A Systemic Approach To Peace in the Middle East" that appears in General Politics, and the other on "Cartesian, Messianic and Mahdeic Approach to Peace" that appears in the Opinion section. Both papers present an objective/subjective analysis to the question of peace from an academic angle.

Wonderful site! Thank you for your continued support.

Great site for all students and teachers thirsty for information on our cultural heritage and our greatest writer of all times, Rihani.

Ameen Al Rihani is one of my schoolers that I am proud of.

Amazing work by Ameen Rihani! I really love his efforts.

Hope we keep appreciating our national symbols and writers.

A few years ago my life changed because I discovered Gibran's works. Today (5th June 2007) I know that, again, my life has changed because of Rihani's work. Both men are inspirational. Please put a mark on Google Earth for Rihani's village Freike.

J'aime beaucoup ce site ......

Amazing works of Ameen Rihani...
And great site!!!))

Very good site!

I am 17 years old ,and I have started reading some of Ameen Rihani's book excerpts. I was at first excited with the idea that we share the same family name, but now I am really impressed with his writings. If possible, please advise me which books to start with because they are not taught in schools in Jordan like in Lebanon.

Best regards
Nora

Great website! Some years ago, Kahlil Gibran led me to Ameen Rihani and over 2 years ago, Dr. Suheil Bushrui's essays on Rihani led me to this website. At that time, I did not notice this guestbook - is this a new addition? Anyway, I have been spreading the word among my friends about Ameen Rihani because I feel that if his writings had been from the beginning required reading in appropriate grade levels, we and our children would have grown up understanding the beautiful culture and great contributions of the East, and the world today--and tomorrow--would be predominantly marked by harmony and diversity instead of divisions and violence. I am currently reading my first Ameen Rihani book translated from Arabic THE HEART OF LEBANON, a part of the Murex Series-Lebanese Authors, a project overseen by his nephew and namesake Dr. Ameen Rihani, who holds a very high position at Notre Dame University in Lebanon. I bought my copy at lebanonart.com. I am enjoying this book tremendously. I'd like to see Lebanon someday to compare the now and what he saw in the very early 1900's. I've promised myself that this year and next will be devoted to buying Rihani's books.

A very creative site!
Thanks.

Beautiful website ! Very professional and pleasant to look at. We have visited this site many times and always find very useful information.

Than k you for all you do!

What a pleasure! No matter how many times I read the Books of Amin Rhani, I feel the urge to go back and read those books over and over again. I am so impressed with this site. Excellent job.

Thanks!

I have read few of his books, in particular the travels in Najd and Arab kings without knowing much about the biography of Rihani.

Enjoyed this site.

This is very interesting. I have learned a lot. I grew up near Highland Park and Dearborn Michigan. I have Lebanese friends and relatives. all the best to you!

What a GREAT site!

Absolutely wonderful website! Thank you for the compilations, history and best of all, the "Book Purchase" section.
God Bless,
Maha.

This has been a great resource for my research. Thanks for keeping the site up and running.

Very helpful, full of useful information and a delight to read.

Salam Aleikom!

As a child, 10 years of age, my father used to teach us about much of the works of Mr. Amin Rihani. At present, I am 65 years old and still remember this great modern prophet of the 20th century. My father had a good personal contact with Mr. Amin Rihani, and I was glad to see this website about him.

My dream is to pay a visit to his grave site and to his museum, as soon as time permits, because a visit to his, because a visit to his grave, for me, is equal to a visit to the Hahh.

Best Regards,
Maktabi

Very good work!
Nice webpage.

This is a nice site.
Please keep me informed on new events.

There are not many available scholarships geared specifically for Arab-American students.

Thank you for the opportunity!

It is a great plesaure to see that the Lebanese community has someone to care enough to provide educational aid to many of its descendents.

Gran ddaughter and daughter of Lebaneses/Spanish, and very proud of it!

Very nice and good site.

It is a pleasure to know that the Ameen Rihani Scholarship is open to those interested in encouraging their Lebanese and Arabic children to apply for aid in their education in the art of literature. Ameen Rihani's biography at this website is a great encouragement for our children to complete an education in college. Ameen Rihani proved that dedication to your goals and hard work makes them a reality.
God Bless Rihani for his love of the Lebanese culture and his leadership in what he believed through the writings in his books.

Thank you for this great informative and well organized site. Hope we can have such websites for all the great Lebanese minds, especially Mikhail Naimy. I'm doing a research concerning everything about him. Maybe someone can help me.
Keep up the good work!

It's nice to be here.

This website really helped me for a project for school but it would be helpful if you had more info on Arabian contributions to history.

Ameen Rihani believed that the American dream has nothing to do with geography or nationality, that it is more than just the American dream -- it is the Human Dream, the vindication of the hopes, tears and prayers of all good men. He realized that it is not enough to be just American patriots but, now, planetry patriots. He knew then that we no longer live in America but in the world, and that our world has had enough nationalists, chauvinists and jingoists and that it is desperately in need of world citizens and statesmen and patriots to match and master its problems.

Well, after I read Ameen Rihani's biography, I learned more and more about him. He seems to have been a wonderful and fascinating man. Your bookshop is great, and it is really interesting to read its contents. I just want to tell you congratualtions on a great accomplishment, and good luck! This is really a great site!

I am delighted with the news of yet another triumph for our dear Ameen.

I join in the celebration of these two recent events, which have brought us much joy and pride. Ameen Rihani is an icon of the modern world, and his memory lives on to give us strength, hope and perpetual inspiration for the good of this world.
