The orphan pearl
Author's name: Abdullah ibn al-Muqaffa
Ibn al-Muqaffa' combined several authentic cultures, as he was familiar with Arabic, Persian, Greek, and Indian, and drank from their literature and knowledge, which enriched his literary talent immeasurably. This broad culture combined with his innate talent and blazing intelligence, resulting in a man of great stature, "an encyclopedic culture of his time," who left us a considerable prose legacy, including works such as "Al-Adab al-Kabir," "Al-Adab al-Saghir," and "Al-Durra al-Yatima," as well as translations from Persian, such as the famous book "Kalila wa Dimna." The common feature of most of these works is that they contain sublime morals and wisdom, and what can be considered the essence of their author's life experience, presented within a literary framework of extreme elegance and beauty. "The Orphan Pearl" was the greatest of these eloquent letters, containing advice and morals for both worldly and religious matters. It was met with great acclaim from literary figures upon its publication; Abu Tammam praised it in his poetry, and al-Asma'i commended it. Today, Arabic language students study it as a distinguished literary text.
