Dear reader, have you ever felt an indescribable sensation?


Something... Don’t explain it, and don’t even dare to admit it.


Words pass by, and perhaps they will stop you from a friend, from a book, from an unexpected place.


Words that resemble you to the point of denial or shake your convictions from their roots and remain stuck as an obsession.


It haunts you, not because you are weak, but because you are honest enough to be affected.


Don’t worry, I won’t say I have the answers; I’m still searching for them.


This book is nothing more than sparks of a feeling I didn’t understand until I wrote it.


I wrote it without any preconceived ideas, without trying to convince anyone.


All I did was let my soul speak and my pen struggle.


This book was my way of understanding what I couldn’t explain.


So what is your path, dear reader?


Perhaps you will find your way among my words... We will meet there.

Alaa Al-Jawhara is not a person or a character. She is the offspring of a phase—something small that emerged from an ordinary human.


Her name is chosen carefully: “Alaa” means the blessings of God upon us, and “Al-Jawhara” (the jewel) represents the writer upon whom this blessing has been bestowed. Together, Alaa Al-Jawhara is the result of everything the author went through while writing this book.


The author has always treated writing as a breath of fresh air—a way to express overflowing emotions and tangled thoughts. But for nearly seven years, she went through a phase of negligence, and writing distanced itself from her. Then, a sudden thunderbolt moment brought her back. When she returned, she decided that her journey of awareness shouldn’t be a solitary one; she believes it could be a way to help save others.


Alaa Al-Jawhara, then, is a blessing from God—a gift to everyone who has known negligence and has since been granted a path to salvation, no matter how different that path may be.
