Diwan in Literature and Criticism

This book, in its ten parts, is to establish a boundary between two covenants for which nothing remains that would justify their connection or mixing between them. The closest thing that distinguishes this doctrine is that it is a humanistic, Egyptian, Arab, humanistic doctrine. Because on the one hand, it translates human nature free from the distorted imitation of industry; And because, on the other hand, it is the fruit of the vaccine of humanity in general, and the manifestation of the common conscience among all souls, and Egyptian; Because his advocates are Egyptians who are influenced by Egyptian life, and he is an Arab. Because his language is Arabic, he is thus the most complete literary renaissance that has appeared in the Arab language since its existence, since our inherited literature, in its most important aspects, was nothing but purely Arab, turning its gaze to the era of pre-Islamic times.History has passed with unchanging speed, and it decreed that every belief should destroy the idols that were worshiped before it, and perhaps criticizing what is not true is more necessary and easier than setting the correct standard and defining it in all its cases. That is why the authors chose - in this pioneering book - to destroy the remaining idols rather than detailing modern principles. .
