A Dervish's Du'a

I just added to my blogroll A Dervish's Du'a, a blog by a woman named Maryam focused primarily on religions in general and Islam in particular. I'm not sure where she's from. Of particular interest is her "Scholar of the Month" feature, focusing this month on the 9th-century philosopher Abu Yusuf Ya'qub ibn Ishaq ibn al-Sabbah ibn 'Imran ibn Isma'il ibn al-Ash'ath ibn Qais al-Kindi (generally just called "al-Kindi"). Look at her sidebar on the right.
