Thus read Abduljabar Al-Rifai, authored by: Raja Al-Bu'ali

In the depths of this reading, Raja Al-Bouali explains how she understood Abdel Jabar Al-Rifa'i's ideas; after establishing her university studies with the understanding that religion in its broad sense is strongly present in world human literature, and that "mythology" dominates the thinking of all societies according to their cultural and historical contexts, and that God is present in the spirit of man regardless of his race and culture. Her passion for these concepts drove her to read and read, seeking to deconstruct the certainties and understand the structure of beliefs, but she found herself in an intellectual earthquake, stuck in a vast sea where she was neither able to swim safely nor able to return to the "beach of comfort." However, she glimpsed in Abdel Jabar Al-Rifa'i's thought a port to seek refuge in to stabilize what she experienced from the earthquake, because she found in his approach a discourse that addresses the essential need for a thoughtful and deep understanding of the idea of renewing religious thought and experiencing the stirring of stagnant waters in the lake of meaning and human existence. With this vigilant reading, Raja Al-Bouali emerges from the magic of Wadi Abraq; to present us with a serious work that carries the spirit of questioning, and stimulates reflection, contemplation, and examination of some of the dogmas. However, she chose a path that places her foot on the course of other readings of Abdel Jabar Al-Rifa'i's works, exploring the components and horizons of his thought. Whether she proceeded with this or not, her reading that we have before us remains a work that adds her name to the names of a generation that is beginning to leave its mark on our cultural scene.
