According to many, Mahfouz’s most important collection of short stories, it brings together fourteen stories that revolve around the essence of life and death, posing many of the questions that preoccupied Mahfouz throughout his life, such as existence, the absolute, and faith. An example of this is the story “Zablawi,” which profoundly expresses the existential crisis of man. It takes place through a journey the hero embarks on in search of Sheikh Zaablawi, a man renowned for his miracles and who can heal his suffering. The Sheikh eventually arrives while he sleeps, but he is ultimately reassured of his true nature. This story, like the rest of the stories in this unique collection, exemplifies Naguib Mahfouz’s intellectual journey.

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 -
