A Heritage of East and West
Selected articles by the noted Bosnian-American Islamic leader, Ćamil Avdić (1914-1979). He was a graduate of three colleges on three continents: the College of Islamic Studies/Sarajevo, al-Azhar/Cairo and Rosary College/Chicago. He started to write on Islam even as a student in his native Bosnia. Later he served on editorial boards of Arabic-language journals in Egypt and on Lahore/Pakistan’s periodical Islamic Literature. This book is a compilation of all of his known English-language articles collected from various periodicals. They offer a unique perspective on issues of assimilation and acculturation in the Muslim community in the West, as well as important aspects of post-Ottoman Bosnian history.

Five Classic Muslim Slave Narratives
The presentation of Africa, Islam and slavery in the American slave Narratives of Muslim slaves in the Americas is a topic that is often overlooked in discussing the genre of slave narratives and the birth of African American Literature. In fact the first biography was that of a former Maryland slave, Job Ben Solomon, published in 1730 in Britain. By reexamining these often overlooked narratives we can get insight into African Islam, the turmoil of integration into a foreign culture, life in Africa, and life as a slave in the Americas. The primary sources include: the narrative of Job ben Solomon, the two autobiographical pieces of Muhammad Said of Bornu, the Arabic autobiography of 'Umar ibn Said, the Jamaican narrative of Abu Bakr Said, a discussion of coverage on Bilali Muhammad's excerpts from the Risalah of Abi Zaid, Theodore Dwight's articles on the teaching methods of the Serachule teacher slave Lamen Kebe, and a letter describing Salih Bilali.

The 100 Seeds of Beirut
This is the collected writings of one of the founding fathers of the Moorish Orthodox Church.
“In searching for the origin or seed of this vision return to 1965 when Walid al Taha - brilliant junky 350-pound jazz saxophonist poet - inducted us into the Moorish Orthodox Church, gave us a copy of al Ghazzali’s Confessions, & told us about the Assassins. ‘Passions are equal to Destinies’ as Fourier's calculus teaches - & these krazy-bricks laid the foundation of a temple of desire - of an imaginal Egypt 2-dimensional as a cigarette-packet design from 1913 but also n-dimensional - emerald gate to Jabulsa & Jabulqu the no-where Cities. Pyramids, palms, sphinxes, roses, crescent-&-star, minaret -- the orientalismo of a child's reverie. Why shouldn’t ‘Truth’ take the form of our obsessions?” – Peter L. Wilson (Hakim Bey)

My Life & Poetry
One of the goals of Magribine Press is to reprint rare materials on the history of Islam, Sufism, immigration, and Black Nationalism in America. As part of this goal, we reprint this collection of the writing of the Cuban poet Juan Francisco Manzano. These were written over 170 years ago and provide a unique look at Cuban slavery. The translator, Richard Robert Madden, was also responsible for preserving Islamic Slave Narratives and epistles in Jamaica and a travel narrative of his journeys in Egypt, Palestine, and Turkey. Madden had fluency in English, Spanish, Arabic, Turkish, and Irish Gælic. His work was ahead of its time in preserving the rights of minorities in the Caribbean and in England itself.

The Mysteries of the Silent Brotherhood of the East
This brief work was originally written by Prophet Noble Drew Ali (then called Professor Drew, the Egyptian Adept) in 1922 under the title "Mysteries of The Christ Jehoshua: His Life, Works, and Teachings in Egypt and India." After Drew Ali's death, C. Kirkman Bey sometime between 1930 and 1935, claimed to have written the same text but changed the name to "Mysteries of the Silent Brotherhood." This work is the ritual workbook for a Moorish order called the “Silent Brotherhood of the East.” This order was advertised in the Moorish Guide National Edition published by Kirkman Bey in the 1930s.The ritual in Mysteries of the Silent Brotherhood is derived in full from the "Aquarian Gospels" by Reverend Levi Dowling. This New Age holy book was also used by Prophet Noble Drew Ali in his work of revealing the secrets locked away from the Moslems of the West (the Moors) by the Muslims of the East.
