Dhu'l-Nun Al-Misri

Such kindly and gentle advice which, above all, stresses forgiveness. Al-Misri mentions such things as helping someone who is ill, or lost in their way along the path of spirituality.

This essay might well have come from the mouth of Jesus, and there are some people who might be surprised at hearing these words from someone whose name sounds Arabic. Obviously, it just demonstrates the fact that you cannot assume anything, and the expression holds true that "you cannot judge a book by its cover."
