Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet is a collection of 26 poetic essays delivered as sermons by Almustafa, a wise man preparing to leave the city of Orphalese after twelve years in exile. As he waits for the ship that will take him home, the townspeople gather and ask him to share his insights on the essential aspects of life. In response, Almustafa offers profound reflections on topics such as love, marriage, children, work, joy and sorrow, freedom, self-knowledge, friendship, beauty, religion, and death. Each chapter addresses a specific theme, blending spiritual wisdom with lyrical prose. The book's universal messages and simple yet poetic language have made it a timeless classic, resonating with readers across cultures and generations.
