There is a big difference between materialism and spirituality. Some of us prefer one over the other, but where is the truth and greatness in any of them! If you ask someone for a service and he provides it to you and he earns a price for this service, this is his reward, and you may thank him in return for making things easier for you, but you do not owe him anything, and here the meaning and significance was material. On the other hand, there are those who provide services for free, or help you without anything, and this is spirituality.

Many people can offer you what you did not expect, and it is sufficient to say (thank you), or to pray for him... This is very great, and he is very satisfied with this reward; The soul is free from bad, and it is from God. In contrast to the material body, which money and greed take him to materialistic people like him who differ among themselves, even on the simplest of things. Life is greater… Love is a cure, and giving is a cure.

To My Father In Paradise

The bell is ringing again, but this time continuously, without stopping – oh, it’s so annoying! I left everything at hand and came to see you. I stopped near your bed, but you’re still looking at the bell device… You looked up to me, then you lowered and started pressing the bell without stopping. I held your thumb gently, then you absorbed my presence. Your words were vague, you talked to me like you were soaked in the ocean and you found me saving you… And I answered you, “What? What do you mean? What are you trying to say, Dad?”, until you got tired of me and sat on your bed quickly, wandering off somewhere in your mind… as usual… You, yourself, forgot you can’t walk... I caught you before you moved… If the world was a woman, I'd kill her! How much I hate it… In the system of this desperate world, why does a person think like a child when he gets older? This is a law this despicable world is following… and against our will!! How can she do that to you? How can she make a lion like you act like a mental?

To Who Abandoned Me

The book includes a collection of articles written in the form of notes addressing the reader, ranging between divulgence, admonition, advice, pain and hope.

Everything written in this work is written from my soul. It is a journey in which I discovered myself, my relationships, what I want and what I do not want.

It is a journey in which I discovered who is genuine and who is fake, and learned to distinguish between the honest and deceitful.

It is my journey in reaching the truth, and how I would like readers of the entire Arab world to accompany me in it!

Acts are judged by the intention behind them, and this work of mine is the result of my pure intentions with this world.

God does not change the condition of a nation until they change what is in themselves, and this work is a promise to change for the better.

This work is full of love as it is full of disappointment, and I hope that it will be read neither with the mind nor with the heart, but with the soul, for what comes out of the soul reaches the soul.

Captivated By A Wonder

About my first book

This book is a product of raw emotion and honest reflection. Every event portrayed in it is based on true experiences and real-life situations. Throughout the writing process, I refrained from relying on my imagination and instead drew inspiration from the reality I witnessed, heard, and lived through.

With its unfiltered portrayal of everyday life, this book offers a window into the joys and sorrows that define the human experience. The people featured in its pages come from diverse backgrounds, with their own unique customs, religions, and traditions. Yet, despite their differences, their reactions to life’s challenges are universal, a testament to the shared humanity that binds us all.

By offering a glimpse into the lives of others, this book invites readers to broaden their perspectives and deepen their understanding of the world around them. Through its vivid snapshots and poignant moments, it illuminates the commonalities that unite us, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable differences.

Abdelazeem

I lived watching, analyzing, adventuring, and observing those who chose to adhere to literal customs and traditions as if they were the lifeline.

I observe those who choose to take risks in life’s experiences, and I observe their management of the adventures and how to obtain results.

I observe those who chose religious commitment as the only way to salvation, but I was noticing the different schools in this regard, there are the Sufi, the Salafi, the Jihadi, the Brotherhood, and many others. I see and analyze the outcome of each choice on the personality, and the extent of its influence on others.

A general and focused state of observation of experiences and stories to build the composition that suits me the best, and corresponds to my ambition.

Listen To Me

Falling is very painful, especially if it is followed by an ankle sprain. Heavy signals shock the brain with pain. Is there anyone who can hear the river of tears inside of me?! A whimper between the walls of my heart, my soul is about to break. Come on, get up! Yes, get up…time is running out. Hold on to the floor that brought you down and stand up! Hold on to your failure to impress it with your success! Remember that it is an incentive to increase your dose of enthusiasm and stability. Never give up! This is my story, I tell it here with the scattering of my pen, so listen to me…

Amina Defies Difficulties

This is a story inspired by real life and simply explains how a person, although deprived of using one of the five senses, should not succumb to defeat, as he/she can focus on and strengthen the remaining senses by audio and sensory means. Who toils succeeds and who plants reaps.

The Excellency Of The Tribe

I used to think that most love novels are just a wish, a dream, a journey for every lover who chooses to fly in their sky whenever they want to enjoy it as they want. They would love to live a unique experience of weaving their imagination. What later turned out was a fate engraved on paper, hiding to destroy and shock every dreamer who did not consider the existence of the tribe. Under the cover of this book are real personalities who lived this bitter reality, and perhaps my dear reader of the novel. Some of you will feel that this story is narrated in front of you in one way or another, but what is agreed upon is one inevitable end; that of failure and disappointments for beliefs and customs that are not of our Islamic religion. Lama chose to break this barrier to live her legal right to choose her life partner without the interference of anyone. Words exploded for the first time from her father without feeling. The tribe was possessing his mind at a moment when he did not realize this except when his daughter grew up and chose a path that does not fit his law. What will happen? Who will be the victor?

With Me In Morocco

Poets have always talked about Marrakesh, writers have talked about Fes, chefs have been complimenting tagines in Tangier, and now diplomats are talking about Rabat, the city that bloomed in the last millennium. At first glance it may seem dull and quiet, with nothing but the rustle of trees and the sounds of distant cars. But it carries with it luxurious restaurants, kitchens in which the tagine is the king, and streets covered with oak trees, while the roar of its surroundings rises loud and mingling with the wind. It is not a city that opens its arms to tourists, but rather gives its treasures to those who discover it.

Diary Of A Seventy-Year-Old Girl

Here we were, here we played, and there we stayed awake, and that jasmine is under our window, and the glass veranda is still as we left it, carrying our memories between its walls, and its windows overlooking the city, repeating our songs and poems, hearing the echo of our laughter, our whispers, our conversations, and my mother’s stories that she never gets tired of, and the many poems she has memorized. The veranda also hears the anecdotes and jokes of Abu Nawas, Harun al-Rashid and his wife Zubaydah, Uncle Omar’s jokes and his boisterous laughter, Samia’s melodious voice reciting old stanzas and roles, and finally, hearing our collective voices singing Fairouz’s song harmoniously:

Our folks returned bringing back the old nights.

The old loved ones returned trying to control us,

My God… It has been such a long time.

Excerpts From Snap ‘Read, And You Will Be Happy’

I dream of an innovative, educated generation that has a passion for reading. I present daily excerpts from various books on Snapchat, an activity I started from 2017 till today, and I will continue, God willing (Insha'Allah), to show more books. This is a message and trust that must be continued for future generations.

This is me… My biography…
