Articles in which I try to put points on some values and ideals, which have been scattered amidst the noise of civilization, civilization, and globalization, and under the name of progress and development, which has caused the destruction of some of the foundations of our conservative society.
I highlight what matters to me, and what matters to my community and my family, trying and diligently reminding myself first, and reminding those who read my words that our role is great and great in preserving this precious country.
As you will see, my strong focus is on women, as there is no hatred for them, bias, or inclination towards men, but rather my belief in them, that they are the basic building block of the family and society. They are the nurturing mothers, they are the appointed wives, and they are the daughters who are future teachers, if women reform, preserve their authentic heritage, and hold on to It is the essential foundation for the good of society.
As you will see in my writings, some of the local dialect, which I deliberately mention, because I believe that it has a greater impact on many groups of society, and this is only my desire to have this book reach the largest possible number of people, and for many common people to understand what I am aiming at. And just as I took in my writings the character of the talk of councils, in terms of discussion and presentation, and in terms of style, some of it eloquent talk and some of it local, so that it easily reaches minds and hearts, and I hope that I have succeeded in combining them, and just as I have tried to condense as much as possible without prejudice. On any topic until it has complete understanding and meaning, I ask God for ease, success, and guidance.

Was it still possible to add anything about Al-Mutanabbi, who filled the world and preoccupied the people, throughout these centuries that extended from his birth until now?!.. And did there remain a side of him that had not been studied, examined, and examined in more than one way, nor was it subject to discussion and debate among the fans of this great poet? And between his critics and haters?!..
Al-Mutanabbi is a unique figure in our literary heritage. His lovers, readers, and memorizers of his poetry are more numerous than those who can be counted, and it is too dangerous to clash with them without prior preparation and readiness. They have extensive knowledge of his poetry and many of the stages and details of his life. Their zeal in defending or attacking it is immeasurable. Therefore, the prior image is more binding. The imagined picture of him that they drew for him is too attached to the imagination to be discussed. Its relationship with national identity is more rooted and dangerous. This is what makes attacking him, for many, an attack on one of the nation’s “values and symbols.”
But I am writing about Al-Mutanabbi after I spent two full years reading him, analyzing his poetry, and studying the details of his life in order to write a television series about him. Dramatic writing requires its author to penetrate as much as he can into the souls of his heroes in order to understand them, to imagine them in the situations in which humans might be, and to draw their reactions, with dramatic logic, as human reactions might be. All of this is within the framework of documented historical information.
I mean: If that were the case, how much of our dignity, human solidarity, and sense of humanity have we lost until we became accustomed to the humiliation surrounding us, for ourselves and for others?! We have even come to accept this violence and inhumane treatment with which we or others are treated as we see it in life or when we read about it or see it on television. (We will ignore that we sometimes treat others in this way: our children, our subordinates, or those who fall into our hands among our enemies, for example, or the prisoners in our hands, assuming that some of those who carry out these tasks can read what I write).
Our habituation to this humiliation is reflected in the fact that we have come to accept that torturing a prisoner is a given. We no longer wonder about the effect of that torture on the prisoner-victim, even after his release from prison, just as we no longer wonder about the effect of torture on its perpetrator. Can he easily return to his normal daily life after leaving the torture room, as if he left the toilet to resume his life?
This is the first time I have gathered my thoughts on this topic after many attempts and articles scattered in more than one place.
