In The Lovers' Wrestlers, we delve into the seas of passion, embodying the greatest love stories in Arab heritage—stories that combine passion and loyalty, adoration and tragedy. From Antarah and Abla to Qays and Layla, from stories of caliphs and princes to tales of the poor and the simple, Sheikh Ahmed Al-Sarraj presents us, the reader, with tales that pulse with an authentic Arab spirit, sometimes interspersed with a Sufi bent that reflects the sanctity and purity of love. This unique work, written in the first millennium AH, is a living record of the conscience of the pre-Islamic, Umayyad, and Abbasid eras. It reveals the features of Arab society through the mirror of love, and makes the reader experience the details of emotion in all its forms: love, separation, and loyalty until death.
