Art and the Homeless

When Abdul Julani became a man he went to his beloved mother and said, “Send me upon the right way. Give me permission to make hijra to Cairo, where I may salaam before the Caliph, and seek tafwid.” His beloved mother cried, but brought out 20 pieces of gold, which was all that his father had left as inheritance. She then permitted Julani to leave, but first she made Julani promise that he would tell the truth and be truthful, whatever happened. She then said: “May Allah protect and guide you, my son. I separate myself from that which is dearest to me for Allah's sake. I know I will not see you again until the day of Last Judgment.”  Julani joined a small caravan going to Cairo. Along the way, a band of 40 highway robbers surrounded the caravan, and robbed the travelers of all they had. When it was Julani's turn one of the bandits approached him and said, “Young man, where are your possessions? You are plainly from a good family, and not poor.” Julani replied, “The gold is up t...

which expression is better diction: with whom or who with Who vs Whom Usage The expression "with whom" is generally considered the better diction compared to "who with" because "whom" is the correct object form of "who" when used after a preposition. For example, "With whom did you go?" is grammatically correct, whereas "Who with did you go?" is not  In formal writing, "with whom" is preferred, although "who" is often used in informal contexts  The phrase "To Whom It May Concern" is a fixed expression that uses "whom" correctly  Therefore, "with whom" is the more appropriate choice in formal or written English. thank you that confirms my understanding but there is another aspect which is that with whom sounds pedantic while who with snaps to attention like a question under cross-examination  You're right to note that "with whom" can come across as grammatically pe...

Eisenhower's Berlin Decision Stephen E. Ambrose's book "Eisenhower and Berlin, 1945: The Decision to Halt at the Elbe" discusses the strategic decision made by General Dwight D. Eisenhower during World War II to stop at the Elbe River and allow Soviet forces to capture Berlin. Ambrose, a prominent historian, explored the political and military aspects of this decision, considering the alternatives and the consequences that followed. The book was first published in 1967. It is part of the Norton "Essays in American History" series and provides a detailed analysis of the events leading up to the halt. Ambrose's work on this topic was influenced by his earlier research and discussions with Eisenhower, who read a draft of the book and provided comments. The book is considered an authoritative account of the decision and its impact on the postwar world. * Without explicitly saying so, the implication of Ambrose's book is that what was decisive in the Alli...

what are the words of the poem by Heinrich Heine set to music by Schubert in his song Der Doppelganger Heine, Schubert, and "Der Doppelgänger" The poem by Heinrich Heine set to music by Franz Schubert in his song "Der Doppelgänger" includes the following lines: "Still ist die Nacht..."  (The night is silent, the streets are quiet. My sweetheart lived in this house. She left the city long ago, but the house still stands on the same spot. There, too, stands a man, staring upwards, wringing his hands in agony. I shudder when I see his face—the moon shows me my own form. You doppelganger! You pale fellow! Why do you ape my lovesickness, which tormented me on this spot, so many a night in ancient times?) the musical harmony and melody of the song has earned many allusions to its camp solemnity Schubert's “Der Doppelgänger” is a profound example of his late Lieder, showcasing intricate harmonic and melodic craftsmanship. The song is through-composed, with ea...

summary, please, of the legend of Xerxes and Zerubbabel and rebuilding the Temple Temple Rebuilding, Xerxes and Zerubbabel The legend of Zerubbabel and the rebuilding of the Temple is closely tied to the historical events following the Babylonian exile of the Jews. Zerubbabel, a leader of the tribe of Judah, was part of the first wave of Jewish captives to return to Jerusalem in 538 BC under the decree of Cyrus the Great, who allowed the Jews to return to their homeland and rebuild the Temple. Zerubbabel was appointed as the governor of Judah and began the construction of the Temple with the help of Joshua, the high priest. The foundation of the Second Temple was laid in 536 BC, but construction was delayed due to opposition from Samaritan settlers and the withdrawal of Persian support, leaving the project unfinished for seventeen years.  The rebuilding of the Temple was eventually resumed under the encouragement of the prophets Haggai and Zechariah, and the Temple was completed in...

Llama, kindly standardize the diction and punctuation of the following statement for general readability:  The art of landscape painting began with quaint village scenes and rustic peasants in the countryside. Scenic paintings eventually included city street scenes. The figures were as nameless as the rustic peasants which preceded them. The art of city scenes with common people came to be known as "genre painting." The identity of the figures was generic. They were treated as an element of the composition. Generic figures could be of artistic interest in themselves. The anonymous beggar is a popular and venerated subject of genre painting. The post-Industrial economy produced an new class of generic subjects: the loiterer. All loiterers are not homeless, but all truly homeless loiterers belong to the new, non-participating class. Homeless street people are the subject of my painting. They can be seen by everyone, everywhere. An artistic depiction of the contemporary urban la...

The Salon des Refusés, held in Paris in 1863, served as a turning point in the development of modern art. This exhibition was a direct response to the rejection of 2,218 submissions to the official Salon, which had been a cornerstone of French artistic culture since its founding in 1648 by Cardinal Mazarin, the chief minister of France. By examining the history of the Salon, we can gain a deeper understanding of the artistic landscape of 19th-century France. The École des Beaux-Arts, which had been the primary institution for artistic training since its establishment, had a profound influence on the development of French art. The official Salon, which showcased the work of recent graduates of the École, was a platform for artists to gain recognition and establish their careers. The Salon des Refusés, authorized by Napoleon III, provided an alternative platform for artists whose work had been rejected by the official Salon. This event not only challenged the traditional artistic establi...

Mickey was a private investigator. He was not the Hollywood type of P.I., like in the movies. He was just a floor walker. His orders were to prevent stealing, report stock room irregularities, and other such misdemeanor-grade crimes. No arrests, just keep an eye out. Be courteous. No trouble. Mickey got the job at a casino through a friend of a friend. It's the only way. He soon found out that there are two mobs; one is organized, and the other is disorganized. When you work for the casino you are on the organized side. Everybody else is on the disorganized side. Mickey's post orders were to keep a lid on the side action. Mickey was an affable guy. This is what he told disgruntled customers: "Look, friend, you can leave quietly, and come back tomorrow. Or, you can leave the hard way, and you'll never come back." Mickey made nice with the yobs, and they never gave him any trouble, after that. Mutual respect. The small time hoods were not a problem for Micke...
