Tom Facchine – The Comment Section #06 – Where To Buy al-Raghib al-Isfahani’s Book

			Somebody asked, Where did I Where did we get this book? Or where can I get this book at Vidya
McKenna machete about August for Hani. And it's a funny story because this is a book that was
recommended to me by one of the Messiah can Medina who, who taught us in the in the jamea, I think
probably my fifth semester. And so I looked for this book high and low, like for probably two years,
I looked for this book, and I couldn't find it anywhere. And I used to go to the book fairs in
Jeddah, and the book fair and Medina and around and trying to look for it, couldn't find it
anywhere. And then Subhanallah things went crazy COVID happened and I was graduating, I was trying
		

			to get rid of all of my things. And I don't even know what I was doing. I had very little money, I
was in the bookstore, the bookstore across the university, kind of the one of the more famous and
popular ones had just moved into like a larger location. And everything was crazy. There things were
in boxes still and just making it on the shelves. And I was just walking through. Like I said, I
can't even remember what I was doing there because I surely didn't really have very much money. But
I walked through this aisle. And there was a book that was pulled out of the rack and was sitting
just flat on top of it. And I doubled to I don't know what possessed me to touch it. I just touched
		

			it grabbed it looked at it. And it was it was the book, it was the Rihanna kind of machete about all
that. It was as if someone had taken it out and just put it there for me. Let's just call it a lot.
And so Hamdulillah I don't know that I can't say that. It's a rare book, I don't know. But for my
experience what I had access to at that time, it was difficult to find it in Arabic and then in
English even more so right? There's one translation by somebody, I believe he's from South Africa,
that you can find a PDF but I haven't read it. So I don't know. You know how it is or anything like
that. But if you want to get a copy of the book, I would say ask Allah basketball for help.
