Leaving the herd:
A book about awareness and improving the quality of life, through returning to oneself, and respecting the human right to determine his true choices and preferences, and what he likes and dislikes... without coercion, and without having to go along with others in their convictions... The book consists of a set of brief lessons in thought, morals, emotion, and relationships. It is written in a smooth language, suitable for all ages. The book is considered an extension of a group of books that the writer has previously published in recent years, including Al-Comedino, Al-Dongguan, The Camel Café, and Al-Marakibi.
The village has always been a symbol of simplicity in its system of life and in the psychological makeup of the villagers, who rarely suffer from what is called “phobia” or “mania,” and accept everything that happens to them as normal, no matter how harsh.
This was in those eras when crops fed those who worked the land and provided them with a surplus for sale that provided them with an important part of their living expenses. However, after agriculture became a loss-making business, and sometimes a heavy burden on the farmer that did not provide its owner with the minimum necessities of life, the village mixed with the city due to the migration caused by various crises, which generated sharp paradoxes that were nullified by that person who was imposed on him in the city a new way of life. At the same time, his customs, traditions, and connections to the village remained strong, which created a duality in him that made him a rich and diverse personality. This friction that occurred through migrations, as well as due to the great technological development that occurred, also transferred part of the city with its relationships and way of life to the village, which constituted a shock to a part of the villagers whose thinking remained based on the old pattern of rural relations.
All of this constituted, and continues to constitute, an important source of literature and drama. In this book there are a number of stories whose events take place in the village of Umm al-Tanafas, a name taken to be a symbol of the village in all works that touch upon the village. This will be the first village notebook and will be followed in the future by other notebooks, because the village’s stories are inexhaustible.
Decoration Ambassador:
This book is not only a narration of my autobiography, but rather it is a record full of difficulties and challenges facing all those who aspire to a bright tomorrow, who seek excellence, and who are determined to succeed despite the challenges.
Get up and shake off the dust of despair, and set out again on the path you started. This is how I used to talk to myself whenever I stumbled or encountered adversities and obstacles that discouraged my resolve. And so I say it to you - if you please - so that we can walk together on the path: - the path of excellence and success - which you dreamed of. And I may not be exaggerating if I say - bypassing - that in this book of my book, and between its covers and the folds of its pages, there is a treasure that relieves you of asking questions, and answers what is on your mind. Many inquiries, and many will be shortened for you as you are on your way to leadership and success. You will find here what makes you certain that you truly can do the impossible, and that you are capable of success no matter what crises you encounter, as long as you seek help from God, are determined, use your mind, be sincere in your words and deeds, and be sincere in your work and work hard.
Finally, I ask God to guide us to what He loves and is pleased with, and to appoint us all as sincere and pious people, and to make us one of His reasons for charting the path of excellence and success for everyone who seeks them wherever they are, and to hand over our beloved emirate as a state, leaders, and people, and to protect all of our Arab countries from evil and affliction, and to bless us with more. Of excellence, prosperity, growth and prosperity.
