The coast at the point at which he reached it seemed specially designed by nature for his favorable and auspicious reception.

It had an ample depth of water for his vessels, and was sufficiently broad, even at a considerable distance inland, for them to beat about in.

Inside my heart there is
A temple, a synagogue,
a church, a mosque,
A monastery, a fish market
A serene lake, a tempestuous sea
Agreements and disagreements
Glory and failure
A big bang at dawn and
a little bang at dusk
All the cries, aspirations and
silent prayers
Yearning and seeking
Everything disintegrates
and dissolves
In a tempestuous ocean
Finally unifies
Collapses on one altar
In one Breath
In God — Gabriel Iqbal

This is the basic and sad narrative taught at every mosque, and it has the benefit of being broadly accurate. — Richard Engel
