The name Amal is common for girls in Egypt. His father was a scholar at Al-Azhar Al-Sharif, and Amal Dounqil inherited from him the talent for poetry, as he used to write classical poetry. He also owned a large library that included books on jurisprudence, Sharia, interpretation, and treasures of Arab heritage, which greatly influenced Amal Dounqil and contributed to forming the first building block of the writer Amal Dounqil. Amal Dounqil lost his father when he was ten years old, which affected him greatly and gave him a touch of sadness that can be seen in all his poetry.
