A book of texts from which Naguib Mahfouz draws on many scenes from his life, rich in personal experiences and intellectual reflections, without presenting what could be described as a traditional autobiography.
The book includes 226 short, highly varied and concise texts, most of which are narrative and storytelling in nature, while others focus on philosophical contemplation and symbolic allusions. This book presents Mahfouz’s life experience, both personal and human, as well as political and intellectual. Many of the texts also contain references to the author’s stance on religion and faith, love and beauty. Many of them have a Sufi flavor charged with depth, tolerance, and love for the universe and its Creator.

My journey from doubt to faith
د.ا2.13I refused to worship God because I was immersed in worshipping myself and admired the flash of light that began to flash in my mind with the opening of consciousness and the beginning of the awakening from the cradle of childhood.
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 -
