Masudi realized that sometimes the same dream, with the same people in it, was dreamed by entire generations or classes of society, but he also realized that some dreams slowly become twisted and disappear, that they were more frequent in the past than in his lifetime.
Masudi's peregrinations were at an end: he had received more from the woman than from anyone ever before, and, as though he had sprouted leaves, he rushed to saddle his camel and hurry back to Constantinople.
Masudi recognized the melody the unknown musician was playing; it was an extremely rare tune, and he was surprised to hear this particular song in such an out-of-the-way place.

However the opposition groups complain that the election date comes one month after June 30, the official end of a three-year transitional period established when a five-year civil war ended in 2003 -- and therefore one month after the transitional government's mandate expires.
In order for that to happen the electoral process has to be made as inclusive as possible," Masudi said.
The country's first free elections in 45 years, the opposition groups want all political and major civil society figures in the DRC to come together before June 30 to discuss the organisation of the elections.

NOTRE DAME, IND. – In the wake of Pope Benedict XVI's address in Germany last month, it is useful to recapitulate the views of a 10th-century Muslim historian by the name of al-Masudi on the relationship between faith and reason.
In a famous historical work, Masudi wrote that the Byzantine Christians of his time were suffering civilizational decline because they had rejected the pagan Greek sciences as incompatible with Christianity.
In contrast, he wrote that Muslim civilization was prospering because it had assimilated ancient learning and built on it.
