Naguib Mahfouz always wrote with his country’s political, economic, and social concerns in mind. He addressed all of these concerns in this collection of short stories, comprising eight stories, each one expressing a different concern, narrated with careful thought and deliberation. In “Room No. 12,” he presents, in a deeply sarcastic and ironic style, the extent of corruption rampant in this country. The story “Crime” is laden with symbolism. Crime here symbolizes the defeat of 1967, and Mahfouz believes that everyone is a partner in the defeat, whether in action or in silence. In “Welcome,” he alludes to the obscene wealth that overwhelmed some after July 1952, through the character of the Bey and the shoe shiner. He begins these eight stories with the play “The Pursuit,” which symbolizes the pursuit of death.

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 -
