Fater Alhakamah

So this is the jewel, but why does it smell rotten? Is it because it was in the snake’s mouth? Or because the smell of the snake is still lingering in its nose?

He brought soap and water, left it in the soapy water, and went to sleep.

The next day, he was unable to go to work. He leaned on a stick and didn’t tell anyone. Instead, he went to the hospital, where his wounds were bandaged. Then he went to the market and bought a large silk handkerchief and a bottle of perfume. He perfumed himself, then poured some of the perfume on the handkerchief and returned home. He took out the jewel and kept washing it with soap until he thought it no longer had any smell. He wrapped it in the perfumed handkerchief, hid it under the bed, and decided not to tell anyone.

Biography Of Faiha Faihan Al-Althowebi

Tell the story of this woman (Faiha Faihan Al-Dhuwai), for it would be unjust not to tell her story; this character deserves to be immortalized for her noble qualities, refined character, and strong personality.

Each chapter of her life is filled with events and situations that reveal who she was, what she was like, and what made her stand out and unique among her peers.

I may not do her full justice, as words sometimes fall short of description.

Some events have been omitted due to their private nature and the inappropriateness of mentioning them.

I write about the daughter of the king of the desert (Faiha Faihan Nahas Al-Dhuwai), and to my aunt and my father’s cousin, I say: I dedicate to you glimpses of your life mixed with my vision, for they are from you and for you.

Before And After Becoming A Mother

You may think that this book is about instructions and details of childcare during motherhood, but nothing of the sort is here; this book does not address that aspect of motherhood, as I have left it to those who are more specialized in it than I am.

This book talks about a part of motherhood that may be neglected or hidden by many. Some have not found the words to express it, and others have not dared to reveal it.

It talks about some of the feelings that any mother may experience during motherhood, mentioning some points that girls should take into consideration before, after, or when deciding to have children.

I recommend that you read it before you decide to have children or while you are at any stage of motherhood.

Children

Al-Ayyal—A Collection of Short Stories

Salem Askar Al-Yami

Samir is a peaceful boy who interacts with the neighborhood kids using his charming, affectionate words. Everyone understands what Samir says, and Samir understands the dialects of the south, the Hijaz, and the east.

Samir is known for using the phrase, “Look, I don’t want to fight with you,” which he says to boys his age and perhaps slightly older: Look, I don’t want to fight with you.

Samir, with his small eyes and thick lips, would watch with a string of saliva dripping from his mouth, sometimes from one side, sometimes from both sides. This problem was one of the reasons why the elementary school principal hesitated to accept Samir for the year.

Najwa

My venerable reader,

Before you lies ample time to close all side doors and windows and open your heart to embark on your own journey.

This is a wondrous and profound emotional voyage undertaken by the author to the city of Damascus. It was preceded by long and sporadic absences due to the outbreak of war, yet this time, Damascus chose him to travel deep within its soul, right up to the day of his birth.

The novel’s events unfold over merely four days, in the darkest corner of time on the planet. During this brief span, the author encounters characters who seem to have emerged from the abyss of nothingness at a divine, mysterious moment, illuminating his sky like stars that have poured their brilliance into the deepest depths of his spirit and soul. They affirm to him that humanity is the subject of miracles, their origin, journey, and destiny, a marvelous and sacred book.

Day by day, the story turns page by page, granting each line an extraordinary day, the greatest of all. It carries the reader on a narrative wave that brushes against the thresholds of essential music. As one treads through the novel’s realm, new horizons and renewed human experiences unfold, harsh yet alive with vitality.

Throughout this long and captivating journey, challenges arise to accompany the reader until the very last pages, voiced through the narrator.

The author has succeeded in enriching this work with a distinctive and beautiful literary language, far from the common and familiar style.

Writing With Emotions

I have elevated my feelings as a means of writing, not out of rebellion against the use of the pen as a known means of doing so. I am certain that a pen in the hand of someone like me, whom I command to embellish and beautify emotional situations, is more effective in reflecting them as they are. However, feelings also avoid pretense, and their detachment in recounting situations as they are—whether apparent pain or fleeting joy—is the most truthful way to write them.

I have experienced honest situations in writing with feelings, some of which people may consider painful, but which became inspirational. Their endings were a valuable lesson for me, a moral for those who read them, and a motivation for those who have been held back by similar situations. I have refrained from exerting any further effort.

You will not lose with tolerance, understanding what is possible and available according to the circumstances, and patience and perseverance, while focusing on the desired goal.

Ultimately, divine will is how situations end, regardless of their beginnings—pain or joy. Trust in God always leads to good outcomes. I've written about them here with my own feelings, not my own planning. Rather, these feelings refused to remain imprisoned, emerging as honest experiences, situations, and realities I lived. I didn't color them or embellish them, because my feelings are the ones that wrote them down.

The reader will experience real situations with me for a few moments. See with me how they began and how they ended. Thank you.

My Grandfather Was

How are you, my beloved, among the graves? Do you know that the news of your death still lingers in my mind like a shock?

I never imagined the horror of this news. I never imagined I’d cry for you one day. I never imagined you departing on a path of no return. I’ve always wished, many times while I’m alive, not to die because of the loss of my loved one!

I don’t cry for you out of protest, Grandpa, but out of loss and need. But I have no power or strength except in God.

The Provisions Of The Mentally Ill In Islamic Law And International Treaties

Since childhood, my ambition was to become a nurse, to help people and treat patients. My wish came true, and my passion for this profession only grew, especially when I learned that the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “The people most beloved to God are those most beneficial to others.”

During my work in the hospital, I realized the need to understand the rulings and guidance of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and his companions concerning patients. I couldn’t answer their questions unless I became well-versed in Islamic jurisprudence. This led me to enroll in the College of Sharia (Islamic Law) as a part-time student, studying in the mornings and working in the evenings. After graduation, my passion for knowledge drove me to pursue a master’s degree and eventually a doctorate. The book you hold in your hands is the result of my doctoral thesis.

One who studies the rulings of Islamic Sharia will find it remarkable in its comprehensiveness, consistency, and relevance to every time and place. Drawing from the Holy Qur’an and the teachings of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, it provides clarity and guidance for all that is good for us, both in this world and the hereafter. From these principles, we derive the legal basis to address emerging issues in modern times.

It is with great pleasure that I present this book, Rulings on the Psychologically Ill, which was my doctoral thesis. This work has been a guiding light for me over the past twenty years, and I have been teaching it within my community. I am now pleased to share it with a wider audience, as it supports one of the rights of patients and serves as a resource for psychologists, mental health students, and scholars.

This book contains:

• - The causes of mental illness, the stance of Islamic jurisprudence on these causes, and how Islam addresses and prevents psychological disorders.
• - An explanation of most of the rulings related to psychiatric patients in Islamic jurisprudence, including matters of worship, financial affairs, and personal status such as marriage, divorce, and custody.
• - The most important individual, social, and institutional duties toward the mentally ill.
• - A comparison between international psychiatric patient rights and Islamic rights.

I ask the All-Mighty to bless these efforts and to benefit everyone through this book.

The Shadow That Never Fades

On a grim night, a young child witnessed the most horrifying sight a human could see – the murder of his parents before his innocent eyes.

That moment planted in his heart a fear that could never be erased – a fear that time might repeat itself, taking away everyone he loves.

As the child grew, so did that terror, forming a thick wall between him and life itself.

He rejected love and marriage, believing that distancing himself from others would protect them from the same fate.

He lived with the weight of his memories, haunted by the fear of reliving the past.

Despite his successes in life, loneliness remained his constant companion. He walked the paths of life, fleeing from happiness, lest it be stolen from him one day.

Over time, he drank deep from the bitterness of isolation until he lost the desire to connect with the world.

What will happen to him? You will find out as you read this gripping story.
