The best writing inspiration comes from reading!
I recommend the holy Quran.
There are also some excellent audiobooks now of the Qu'ran on audible, and torrents. I read a new-ish translation by prof Abdel Haleem, it was very well done.
and the hadith as well! i only have the six books and the four books but there's a lot!
lol at our downvotes.
I can see who they are, and it's the Islamophobic new-atheist types that migrated from reddit.
Tbh they are very easily misinterpreted, I don’t really recommend unless they really have the knowledge to understand them
They are great if you just want to hear about their(Arabs) general life though
Yeah, not its purpose but it’s very good at explaining events, few words but very telling, not to mention the poetic nature of the Arabic language, who hasn’t heard about the people of the cave (Al-kahf)? That chapter also has some beautiful recitations (with English translations)
The OP is asking for inspiration related to a specific culture. Secluded boredom will not help you learn about things to write about a specific culture.
You're completely missing the point of the OP. Reread his post and then reread yours to see how your's is not helpful to his goals.
