About the Author

Father Ibrahim Sarrouj

Born 1942

Priest, intellectual, and library founder (born in 1942). Father Ibrahim Sarrouj is a Lebanese Orthodox priest and a guardian of coexistence in the city of Tripoli. He is considered a living icon of tolerance and humility, and "Al-Sa'ih Library," which he founded, became an enlightening beacon that brings together minds and hearts. His journey embodies the power of love in confronting ignorance, and his actions and stances explore ways to build bridges between religions through knowledge. He offered a rare testament to forgiveness after his library was set on fire in 2014, and his journey, which culminated in the reconstruction of the library and the embrace of its visitors, remains a reference point for spiritual and cultural resilience.
