The Nostalgia That Did Not Go Away

From the corners of schools, corridors of hope, semesters of excellence and yards of creativity.

From the prayer room, the library, the laboratory and the canteen.

From the administration rooms, and the drawers of the teachers.

Inspired by the scattered memories, I formulate and dedicate these stories to motivated generations at the beginning of each new academic year.

The Narrative Structure In Shaykha Al-Nakhi's Fiction

The book is an analytical study of the fictional literature of Shaykha Al-Nakhi. The idea of studying the narrative structure in the writings of the writer Sheikha Al-Nakhi, came as a sign of the era of social transformation in the United Arab Emirates from the pre-oil period to the post-oil period, and the social and cultural progress that accompanied this transformation in the Emirates' journey.

The book in itself is considered a qualitative addition to the critical experience, an approach to Emirati feminist literature, and a stimulus for researchers and a guide in their critical treatment of this literature.

This study consists of an introduction, five chapters and a conclusion. The introduction acts like a prelude that monitors the development of cultural life in the UAE, and draws the narrative scene in terms of foundation and leadership. It also shows the cultural and intellectual formation of Shaykha Al-Nakhi in an attempt to show her literary position in the world of the short story.

The Deserted Well

This story deals with events from a past period, in the 1980s, that took place in a village in Ibri. The story tells us how the village was deserted and abandoned by its residents. Some characters in the story played a role in restoring hope. The story also narrates the conditions of people and the nature of their dwellings before the arrival of the modern renaissance, and how they became after that. The story also includes interesting events.

Wanderers Of Nostalgia

Nostalgia is all that was before souls, places and trees were transformed… Before beaches disappear from your country map… Every beautiful quality that has been uprooted by history to turn it into the ugliest… Before your heart is broken for the first time or for the thousandth time… Everything before your disappointments… (Searching for a little joy from the past, when the present doesn’t give you something better)

Al Hawla: Fearsome Tales

Al-Hawla is an echo of the desert stories in the depths of the valleys of Al-Bawadi. A true story where the events take place somewhere between Bayatah in the north and Sa’raa in the south, and then go back and forth and folds in its sandy pages of the history of that era, which was scattered in the valleys of the Emirates one hundred years before the publishing this book. Here are the feelings of orphanhood and tragedy, then launch and love, then coexistence and challenge, ideas of persistence and knowledge, and prevailing beliefs, deep conviction, morals and principles rooted in souls, awareness, and human knowledge that rises in human beings at every moment since eternity. True stories with real names from everywhere, they came and each had a soul to carry and letters to draw, whether on land, sea or mountain. What the narration of the novel requires at the disposal of the writer; To know, dear reader, that “read” is the beginning of everything, and “moving straight” is the way, and “patience” is the provision and equipment until you see banners that say “I will win a great victory.”

Al-Nasser Salah Al-Din Al-Ayyubi: The West’s View Of The Hero Of The East

This book provides a brief overview of the life of the leader Salah Al-Din Al-Ayyubi.

I wanted to present the West’s vision of the qualities, characteristics, and defects of this legendary Muslim figure by translating various English and French sources, as well as consulting Arab sources regarding some historical and religious details, thus multiplying the angles of reading his history.

I was impressed by their presentation of the truth without exaggeration, along with their constructive evaluation and criticism. If this is the opinion of the West (the Crusaders) about him, then what about the truth of his personality from the point of view of his contemporaries?

There are areas that are not highlighted in his biography; we know a lot about his achievements, but we know very little about his personality, just like many other rulers of the Middle Ages.

The last three chapters of the book deal with what we can learn from this character, and how we can benefit from his morals and actions. I hope that you will enjoy and benefit from this work.

The Struggle And Victory With Covid-19

The Struggle and Victory with COVID-19 is a diary that explores the depths of the human soul when it stands alone in the face of a fateful battle and life and death decisions. The soul that derives its strength from its doctrinal and cognitive elements, experiences and stubbornness that it stores in the face of difficulties, frustration and despair, and above that, the love that provides us with strength. A narrative that clearly indicates that willpower and mindset are the catalyst for overcoming the weakness and emaciation of the body.

Alabbas wrote an inspiring realistic drama in which he drew the course of his infection with COVID-19, and he explored his strengths, weaknesses, assumptions and mistakes, in a careful exploration of the extent to which family love bonds can reach, from the negativity of excessive care to protecting loved ones, to the positive effect that drives the desire to live through a miniature world of closed rooms, and limited social communication.

A book whose events and dialogues are dominated by self-talk, but it is a reflection of our world today.

Factory Reset

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.

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.
