This book is about the constant battle between the human soul and the human mind. It also provides a different perspective on the purpose of life and the reason(s) for our creation. When the desires of the soul are not disciplined and controlled, they cause harm. Humans should try to achieve equilibrium in the soul to allow those who believe to achieve the purpose of their creation and to accomplish their mission on Earth without distraction. In this book, I address the characteristics of the human soul and its evil desires that may distract humans from succeeding in their mission and, in a simple yet effective way, show how to control those desires.

Ahmed Tolba is a devoted husband, loving father, accomplished lawyer, and passionate writer whose life and work are guided by a deep reverence for human experience. He was born on June 2, 1977, in Cairo, Egypt, a city where the ancient and the eternal coexist, and where questions about life, death, and what comes after echoes for millennia.

Though studied and practiced law, Ahmed’s life has been shaped less by professional designation than by a sustained devotion to thought. From an early age, he has been drawn to reading, reflection, and the quiet discipline of writing.

For Ahmed, thinking is not the pursuit of answers but an openness to questions that resist closure. His work grows out of careful attention to language, silence, and the tension between reason and uncertainty. He approaches writing as a philosophical act, a space in which ideas are tested, clarified, and sometimes undone. Reading, in this sense, becomes a form of dialogue across time, and writing a continuation of that dialogue in his own voice.

Over the years, Ahmed has published numerous books internationally. Yet publication, for him, is not an endpoint. Each book marks a moment within a longer intellectual journey, an attempt to articulate what remains difficult to name. His writing reflects a balance between analytical rigor and contemplative depth, shaped by both disciplined learning and lived experience.

Underlying Ahmed’s work is a persistent concern with meaning, time, and the conditions of understanding. He is interested in how thought unfolds slowly, how ideas mature through patience, and how clarity often emerges only after sustained uncertainty. Rather than offering doctrines or systems, his writing invites readers into reflection, asking them to dwell with questions rather than resolve them too quickly.

Ahmed continues to read and write as forms of attention to the purpose and to the self. His work stands as an ongoing meditation on thought, its responsibilities, and its quiet power to illuminate human experience.
