The world of Allah

Do not surrender to disappointment, this amazing man troubles everyone he wants, it was easy in the old days when he was located in a known place. Today the world has changed, and after he enjoyed a status that rulers do not have, the police are now chasing him on charges of deception, so reaching him is no longer easy, but be patient and trust that you will reach him. Mahfouz collected in this collection fourteen diverse stories, all carrying the essence of life, death, and humanity, and bearing many questions he was preoccupied with throughout his life, especially his existential question about the existence of God: is He real or a myth? The story of "Zabalaoui" was the most expressive of this question, which he ultimately answered as an confirmed truth, through the boy's journey in searching for "Zabalaoui," who symbolizes God, and asking people about him, who reply that he is the truth, and that one must strive and search until "Zabalaoui" comes to him in his sleep, reassuring him of His existence. In the other stories of the collection, we see Mahfouz's world, which he began to contemplate with aware eyes that see the depths of matters.
