A.R. Rahman: The Spirit of Music by Nasreen Munni Kabir Pdf

When composer A.R. Rahman's first film Roja was released in 1992, his astonishing music with its other-worldly melodies, tonal texture, pulsating rhythms made an instant impact in India. His abundantly flowing talent has given life to the scores of over a hundred films, including Dil Se, Bombay, Lagaan, Warriors of Heaven and Earth, 127 Hours and Jodhaa Akbar. According to a recent estimate by the BBC, 150 million copies of his albums have sold worldwide. A.R. Rahman has won a host of awards, together with a Golden Globe, a Bafta, two Oscars and two Grammys for his score in Slumdog Millionaire. In 2010, he received the Padma Bhushan, the third highest civilian honour, awarded by the Government of India. Despite all his great success, Rahman remains a deeply private person, shying away from the glitz and glamour of show business. A.R. Rahman: The Spirit of Music is in the form of biographical conversations between the composer and Nasreen Munni Kabir in which we hear of Rahman's amazing journey from modest beginnings to an assured place in world music history.

Miracles of Ar-Rahman (The Most Gracious GOD) in Describing The Creation of Man by Ahmad Nabil Lotfy Hassan Pdf

About The Book This book reviews different forms of human creation mentioned in the Holy Qur’an. It is divided into 4 main chapters: - Chapter I describes the creation of a human being without male and female (Adam), and the creation of a human being from male without female (Eve). - Chapter II describes the creation of a human being from female without male (The Messiah Jesus son of Mary). - Chapter III describes the usual, traditional embryonic events of all the human beings. - Chapter IV emphasizes some of God's signs in man, e.g.: The finger prints, the forehead, and other verses announcing the miracles of God Almighty, with achieving great benefits from contemplating them. The subjects were intentionally approached balancing between reviewing scientific facts and linguistic religious interpretations, in an easy simple way, without excessive summarization or complex boring extravagance, supported by illustrations and photographs as much as possible, hoping that it will benefit both professional and public readers alike.
