The Arabic-language magazine An-Nibrās (النبراس;The Lantern) appeared once a month in 1909 und 1910 in Beirut. The founder and publisher was Mustafa al-Ghalayini, a well-known Lebanese theologian, writer and reformer. In addition to scientific articles and findings, An-Nibrās focused on cultural topics.[1] The reader informed about literary and historical facts. Especially the criticism of politics and society played a major role for al-Ghalayini. Religious topics were not of primary importance but were covered as well.[2] Subscriptions were offered outside of Lebanon not only to Egypt but also to United States and India.[3]
