Al-Qata’i’ “Ibn Tulun Trilogy”
$12.00$15.00
A historical story that sheds light on the period of Ahmed Ibn Tulun’s rule in Egypt during the ninth century AD, and deals with the establishment of the city of Al-Qata’i as the new capital of Egypt at that time. The novel highlights the interaction between social classes, politics, and culture in that period, through characters belonging to different spectrums, reflecting the complexities of life in the time of Ibn Tulun. In her distinctive literary style, Reem Bassiouni combines historical narrative and imagination, to offer the reader an in-depth look at this influential era in Egyptian history.
A historical novel set during the reign of the ruler Ahmed Ibn Tulun. It is a trilogy like the novel Awlad El Nas and includes three stories: –
(The First Story: Maysoun) – (The Second Story: Ahmed’s Dream) – (The Third Story: The Covenant)
The novel revolves around the ruptures, this city has the magic of the ancients and their curse. There is no escape from loving it. In the halls, the smell of baking and sweets reminds us of the beauties of life and the taste of love. No one here is satisfied with bread and sugar. From hand to hand and from mouth to mouth, wheat melts in the depths and then revives the vague memory. In this city, a tailor weaves a dress of pure silk and no one knows the fate of its owner. Perhaps it was a dress for a bride who longs and wishes, or for the governor of the tax who walks the earth, assassinating and happy. Perhaps it was made of threads mixed with affliction and suffering, or patience and endurance. Here lies an incomplete joy and a body that is always helpless, even if pride takes it to sin.

rebellious spirits
$4.30Gibran’s literary style was characterized by smooth words, simplicity of expression, the use of all linguistic formulas and styles, and the frequent use of metaphors and figures of speech. Perhaps the most important feature of Gibran’s literary works is creativity in the art of photography. We find many beautiful, imaginative artistic images full of deep meanings and expressions covering his literary works; because he was an artist and painter who initially depicted the idea and then created it. Gibran relied on two styles in his literary works: the first is characterized by strength and revolution against beliefs and customs and the call for freedom, and the second is characterized by the love of enjoying life and the call to follow inclinations

My journey from doubt to faith
$3.00I 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.$5.00 -
