About The Book

With this selection, the Award’s Scientific Committee recognised the author’s scientific analytical approach in researching the humour in Arab Islamic heritage, with an in-depth examination of scripts and events. The book is also seen as a promotion of the true values of Islam which is founded on peaceful coexistence and steers clear from hatred and prejudice. The book’s six chapters reveal a thorough analysis and methodological citation of scripts with attention to a variety of sources.
