He descended from the native inhabitants who entered Christianity in the era of St.Thomas the Apostle, one of the Twelve disciples of Jesus Christ.
He graduated from Baghdad Medical School and received a higher degree from the United Kingdom. He spent years of his life practicing his specialty of internal medicine and cardiology.
He moved from Baghdad to the United Kingdom after the Allied invasion of Iraq. Then he migrated to North America, traveling between Canada and the United States.
Despite his scientific background, he has a deep inclination toward knowledge culture in general and toward poetry in particular. He started poetry writing during high school, but left his beautiful hobby only to return back to it recently.
Sabah was inspired by the tragic circumstances that have afflicted his motherland and by the injustice, displacement, and abuse of Christians, Sabians, and Yazidis minorities, as expressed in the two poetry quartets Tragedy: How Often and How Much? currently in print, and Flashes of the Present Pain, that is in your hands now.
Additionally, Sabah writes on various topics in his mother tongue on ankawa.com, alqosh.net, and some magazines and newspapers produced in the diaspora.
His main interests are watching sports, especially soccer, and participating in various cultural and educational activities. He also loves collecting used books, especially religious and historical ones.view less
