“The Beaver” is the fourth novel by Saudi novelist and poet Mohammed Hassan Alwan, published by Dar Al Saqi. It explores many aspects of life, exposing many of society’s flaws and pointing out its negative aspects. It tells the story of a young Saudi man living in a broken family, with a father who was dissatisfied with his behavior and a mother who abandoned him. He read from an early age. The hero recounts his life story and recollects it to free himself from the negative pressures and deep psychological pain that have accompanied him since childhood. Regarding the reason for choosing this title, the author says: “The beaver is a river animal found in regions of Europe and North America, and is famous for the dams it builds across rivers to protect its family… thus linking the morals of an animal to a southern family living in Riyadh.” He adds that his novel is classified as a social drama, far removed from sentimentality, and different from his other novels.

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 -

The writer also explains that what we can consider a coincidence with us may be wisely studied and what we interact with with all honesty may be fake and obsolete as the first boot, the past is just images stuck in our heads and just a glance of it returns to expose itself, and opens new cracks in our hearts, pushing you to search and explore what the truth is and to what extent it can comfort you or in any proportion that may make you a wreckage between the legs, yet the search for it is The way of salvation,
