What people are saying
We have never disowned our origins; the tent has been the home of the authentic Arab since ancient times, and we are proud of it, and to this day we live in tents whenever we wish.
May God protect you and make you happy, have mercy on your father and forgive him and grant him spacious gardens, a fine father and son.
From this “tent” that you mock came the language of the Quran, from the tent environment and Bedouin society, and a civilisation set out that reached from the far ends of China in the east to Andalusia in the west, at a time when other peoples were living in the darkness of ignorance.
