Open the window then light - others' books

Message of the writer: In front of my honorable readers, and with the presence of this book, some steps of hardship have vanished from my life, and I have surpassed stations of continuous search and a journey full of joyful struggle that the eyes have been adorned with the ink of books, and the phrases competed, and the ideas of philosophers and writers. I place before you, and within your sight and inside your conscience, this book in which I awaken motivation and call for excellence, and blow the whistle of departure to seize those dreams wandering within you. Enough of the fear of climbing peaks, there is no place for you among the pits. Within its lines, a spark will ignite your faith, and an intellectual charge will mobilize your positive nerves, and in your conscience, tranquility, and in your heart, hope and confidence. Taking as an example the saying of the Prince of Eloquence and the crown of writers, the great writer Mustafa Lutfi al-Manfaluti: I write for people not to impress them; but to benefit them, and not to hear from them: You did well, but to find in their souls some effect of what I wrote. I do not claim that I will present to you what you do not know, or that this book will open a new door in thought unknown to people, for my goal and aim are not that, but they are ideas as pieces of my soul I send to you, and I believe that they contain beautiful meanings, captivating stories, elegant words, the culmination of effort, the product of reflection. And enough for my dear reader that if you want this book to be a light mental meal, open any page of it and devour it. And if your step is long, choose a chapter, and do not leave it until you finish reading and contemplating it, and perhaps you will find a complete mental meal. And if you are among those with great determination — and I think you are — start from the cover, and let your thoughts settle on its last cover, and then I can say: a new life for you has begun, with God's help! My prayers for the most beautiful life to surround you.
