Some of us may have begun early in our lives to establish our goals and have already embarked on the search process to reach the stage of maturity, achieving our objectives and success. Others, however, may still be in the stage of self-conflict, striving to attain that level of self-awareness and success.Within these pages, we affirm that you are not alone in this struggle and that there is still hope and time for self-awareness. You can rise again to assert yourself and achieve internal, intellectual, physical, and psychological maturity.In essence, this book is a tour of our minds, an opportunity to reset, and perhaps search for the self that we have often forgotten as we navigate through our daily experiences.الكتاب عبارة عن مساحة أفق ممتدَّة للتعبير عمَّا يجول في خواطرنا مِن تساؤلات واستخلاصات شخصية ليست بموضع حكم الخطأ أو الصواب؛ فهي عبارة عن خلاصة مسيرة البحث عن مفاتيح فَهم جميع الأسئلة والتجارب المبهمة ضمن محطَّات الحياة التي نَعبرها على أمل أن نجد فيها الحلول لجميع تساؤلاتنا التي لَم تنتهِ.تستطيع أن تعتبرها جولة سريعة في عالمك الخاص الذي قد تفتح فيه أبواب التساؤلات التي قد تساعدك لتصل إلى ذاتك وإلى ما تريد أن تصله في الحياة.في الواقع.. الجميع على يقين بأنَّنا خُلِقنا لهدف، ولعلَّ البعض منَّا قد بدأ في مرحلة مبكِّرة مِن حياته في تأسيس أهدافه، وبدأ بالفعل عملية البحث للوصول إلى مرحلة النضوج الداخلي وتحقيق الأهداف والنجاح، ولعلَّ البعض الآخر لا يزال في مرحلة الصراع الذَّاتي مع النفس للوصول إلى ذاته ومعرفة مُبتغاه.وهنا في هذا الكتاب نؤكِّد بأنَّك لستَ وحيدًا في هذا الصراع، وأنَّه لا يزال هناك أمل ووقت في استدراك الذَّات، والنهوض مِن جديد لتحقيق ذاتك ونضجك الداخلي، والفكري، والجسدي، والنفسي.خلاصة الكتاب عبارة عن جولة في الذَّات، وفرصة لإعادة صياغة إعداداتنا الخاصَّة، ولربَّما البحث عن الذَّات التي لطالما نسِيناها في مرحلة خوضنا لتجاربنا اليومية.

Among Hospital's Corridors

The director whispered in my ear words that caused me distress and distress, so I left him angry.On September 2, 2005, at ten o’clock in the morning of that day, I was standing in the main hallway of the hospital.The hallway was at the crossroads of parts of the hospital, and I, like him, was standing at the crossroads of parts of my life.People come and go, but no one talks to anyone, and no one pays attention to anyone.Suddenly, someone grabbed my wrist tightly as I turned around. My eyes bulged out and I wondered: How did he know where I was? He did not say a word, and I did not speak. He walked and I walked with him like a little child. We walked together on an unknown road.

Bin Arraf

You live on the ground, so days will go by you for a long time in your view (only an illusion). Everything in the road calls you and sends you signals that point you in the walking direction and the right way. You find signs on every road pointing you where you want to go, and signs to cross, stop, slow down or change direction. Alia followed the example of my path and your path, and many signs stopped her. She even began to identify them and harmonize with them, and perhaps harmonize and understand the meanings of the signs of life in order to answer many questions that were hidden. Then she left with the range spreading in front of her eyes on her trip to the Badia. If you, dear reader, are excited by the signs of life, learning through the stories, penetrating the worlds, and have the curiosity to know them and to succeed in deciphering the mystery of life, then I promise you that you will enjoy with us the flow between the lines of Alia’s journey to the Badia, stay with it!

Scattering Yam

Life has its moments…
Some of them we have surpassed, and others we have not yet overcome.
A few of them we have crossed, and many of them we have not dared to pursue.
Here, I have gone through many of them, wishing for an outlet to pour out what is within me.
I found nothing interesting except for letters that I strived to write.
Perhaps what is written here does not touch your heart or your mind, but I wished for it to be a gentle spirit that touches a letter and sends kindness.
So, be gentle with me.

Imprint In A Drop

The book is varied between literature and philosophy, in-depth with psychology, history and other sciences as part of philosophy, and takes a two-edged curve and two sides of the same coin, and shows us that reading is the basis, and the Arabic language is the mother of languages, and it drowns us in letters of Abjad Hawwas, so that matters are based on the content and not the general meaning for the letter. The letter “A, Alif” may not mean “A” sometimes. Rather, it may be a light that illuminates the darkness and drives away oppression. And the letter “B, Baa” may not contain the letter at the end of the word (love "Hobb"), and it can differentiate it from love. And the letter “J, Jiim” may take us to the quackery, and it is in the middle of the word, it proves that the claim of knowledge is not related to knowledge itself, and knowledge takes away the spirit of ignorance. And with that comes the letter “D, Del”, it makes us see that proverbs and wisdom are only part of literature and philosophy that I see as two eyes in one head. And from HWZ we may see that space, galaxies and the universe are not related to the letter (H, Haa), and yet it is as easy as pronouncing the “H”, the beauty of the letter “H”, and that is what distinguishes it. And the “W, Waaw” when it speaks the splendor of art, delves into drawing, and mediate music to show us that beauty comes in many forms. Until we reach to the letter “Z, Zai”, we see that it is the end like death, but what if death had another side, like a coin with which to bet? We will find from here that there is another aspect of death called life, and we will see from it that the extent we see is not only what we see, but we must dive to drowning to discover that everything is connected to each other, and from here to here I chose two pages that I called a site and a reality with which I introduce myself to readers.

Bloomed

When the heart blushed with love and gratitude, when life does not spare it dream-like moments, then life picks for us the most beautiful harvests of destiny.

Then how can a spring not pass through the heart? How can autumn not pass through the heart? When those we love dry up, and names that meant life to us fall from the sky of the heart, carrying with them in the folds of memory moments that were written with rose water.

How can winter not pass through the heart? When you are alone and cold, they think you are empty, dull, and indifferent, and you, whose heart was full of life, companionship, and love, have been repeatedly let down to the point that you have become extremely sensitive to delving into any relationship.

How can a summer not pass through the heart when warmth surrounds us and the destinies of God surround us, so we calm down and relax?

Seasons pass through our hearts, shaping us, shaping our moods and the features of our relationships, changing the curvature of our lips, caressing us at times, and ravaging us at other times.

Narration Techniques In The Book ‘One Thousand And One Nights’

The book deals with the history of the book, One Thousand and One Nights, and the extent of its influence on the most prominent Western writers and literary works after it was fully published in the West through its translation in the early nineteenth century. The book also deals with translations of One Thousand and One Nights into English in particular, and the extent of its reliability and its proximity or distance from the original text. The book also deals with narration techniques in One Thousand and One Nights, and the precedence of these techniques to appear on the literary scene. However, these techniques were not referred to in the West, especially during the emergence of the narrative techniques called “The tale of the tale-, Metafiction”, which Western literary theory considers a product of the sixties and seventies of the last twentieth century. The book provides a full explanation of what the “tale of the tale” is, and an explanation of its various techniques, and its theorizing (entering the path of Western literary theory). It deals with the most prominent Western writers who have adopted some of the different applications of the “tale of the tale”. It mentions the most prominent critics who have studied “fairytale” techniques. The book also reviews the literary career and development of the Egyptian writer, Naguib Mahfouz, and discusses his condensed short novel, The Nights of a Thousand Nights, because the book One Thousand and One Nights represents the base and origin of Mahfouz’s novel, in addition to Mahfouz’s adoption of a number of techniques for narrating the original Book of Nights and its characters. Naguib Mahfouz’s novel is a modern novel that adopts the techniques of “tale of the story.” The book reviews the literary career of North American writer, John Barth, and how it was affected by the narration techniques in One Thousand and One Nights, and the character of Scheherazade in particular. The book discusses John Barth’s collection, Ten Nights and a Night: Eleven Stories, and how they relate to the original Nights book and its techniques. The book ends with a call to expand the scope of Western literary theory to include international books such as One Thousand and One Nights due to its tremendous influence on world literature, the uniqueness of narration techniques in it, and the precedence of their appearance.

Meditate On The Surahs Of The Qur’an

The goal of the book is to fully understand and contemplate the words of God Almighty as revealed in His book, the Holy Qur’an, so that the entire Qur’an becomes like a single surah and a single subject, capturing the reader’s attention with a stimulating and engaging style to contemplate the meanings of the Qur’an. It presents one consistent and coherent message, following a single path towards a single purpose, which is guidance to the way of loving God, with the intent of proper adherence and application as our Lord loves and is pleased with. Allah Almighty said: ‘A blessed Book We have revealed to you, that they might reflect upon its verses and that those of understanding would be reminded.’ (Saad: 29)To achieve this goal, all necessary books and publications were studied, and then each surah was contemplated individually to understand its secrets and to give it its due as if nothing else from the Qur’an had been revealed. This involved counting its words and verses, determining its purpose and topics, showing its harmony with its name and purpose, names, words, stories, verses, and examples, and following its context from different perspectives. The meanings were elucidated from interpretations and Qur’anic studies books, and then its relevance in context with the surahs before and after it and all surahs of the Qur’an was indicated.Finally, this work and contemplation have been presented to the esteemed reader in this book.

A Legacy That Is Not Divisible

Emotions dominated their moments to float on the surface of pages that sunk

In a sea of poetry, to write down thoughts that are confined by a

legacy!

What distinguishes it from others is that it is a legacy of love!

So it is a legacy that is indivisible!
