Mustafa Sadiq Al-Rafi'i

In your hands, dear reader, is a valuable book about a great contemporary writer, with novelty and smoothness, as its author wrote it in a way that differs from the usual style of this series. It contains successive chapters that inform you about the aspects of greatness and creative giving in the personality of "The Proof of the Arabs and the Genius of Literature" Mustafa Sadiq Al-Rafi'i. I have known the modern literary renaissance Mustafa Sadiq Al-Rafi'i, this distinguished figure, as a thinker and writer, a pioneer for his nation, and a pioneer does not lie about his people. He stood against the tide of Westernization, which the nation still suffers from its effects in its social, political, and cultural life. Al-Rafi'i began reciting poetry at an early age, starting with poetry that mimicked the strength and beauty of Arab poets. At the age of twenty-three, he issued the first part of his collection, followed a year later by the second part, and after another two years, he issued the third part. He collected the three parts in a collection called [Al-Nazrat], published in 1326 AH. He also has patriotic hymns and other poems in various poetic arts. When he reached the age of thirty, he abandoned reciting and repeating poetry and turned to prose literature.
