A unique book in its subject matter and style, Naguib Mahfouz concluded his creative journey by writing texts depicting fragments and specters of his dreams during his convalescence following his stabbing by extremists, adding to them his own imaginary and symbolic dreams. Convalescent Dreams has been translated into French and English, and its English translator, Raymond Stock, stated that the dreams carry more than just autobiographical echoes of Mahfouz’s biography. The eminent psychiatrist Yahya al-Rakhawi also addressed them in his book “On the Nature of Dreams and Creativity,” analyzing these texts psychologically and commenting on them from a psychological and humanistic perspective.

This psychological state was behind the controversial scene that recurs every day. I also missed the origins of logic and I am dealing with logic and I did not realize that I am contradicting myself as I recognize the Creator and then say who created the Creator and make him a creature at the time when I call him a creator, which is sophistry itself.
Moreover, to say a first cause of existence requires that this cause must exist in itself and not dependent or need others to exist. If a cause needs a cause, this makes it one of the causal links and does not make it a first cause.د.ا3.55 -
