The author surfing on the wings of imagination takes us to new undiscovered Edens. Through these tales, you will come to believe that "imagination is the image of reality!" * Original version in French
It is “the story of humanity in this age,” “a harsh but true judgment of humanity,” “A drawing map to a school of thought,” “A literary prodigy,” “the Odyssey of the Twentieth century”: these are a few of the titles to nearly fifty essays and reviews about the book "Memoirs of a Dinar".
The Preface to this book summarizes the major thrust of the book thus: "The great importance of this book is derived from its central figure, Dr. Dahesh, around whom all the events related therein evolve. It is an unpretentious, humble, and true testimony of the man, his deeds, and doctrine, written as a token of gratitude, and tribute to his humanity and unsurpassed greatness, which had the effect of transforming the author's life entirely, making his experience an actual rebirth of his self."
What are the motives behind Dante’s Divine Comedy or Dr. Dahesh’s Inferno? What are Dante’s and Dr. Dahesh’s concepts of Hell? How did they portray the environment of Hell, the devilish methods of torture, the role of the devils, and the conditions of the damned?
You find an answer to these questions and others in the comparative study of two great authors and their books.

The author narrates the story of his acquaintance with Dr. Dahesh as well as some of the miracles he had witnessed. He also relates what he was able to gather of Dr. Dahesh’s opinions and their impact on the general public.
This book comes under the literary genre “Aphorism”. It comprises about 1400 proverbs and epigrams, encompassing the different aspects of life: good and evil, man and nature, the individual and the society, spiritual and material life, men and women, happiness and misery… The writer tackles these issues eloquently and poetically.
This is the second volume in the Series, The miracles of Dr. Dahesh and His Wondrous Prodigies. The author continues his account of Dr. Dahesh's miracles which he started in the first volume. They include the instantaneous growth of a seed and the spiritual explanations for this miraculous act, the total integration of one material object with another material object with another material object, and the total change of a newspaper issue into another issue of a future date. What distinguishes this volume is its recording of spiritual messages.
The author, a former chief-editor of the Egyptian magazine "al-Musawwar", did not only witness the astounding miracles of Dr. Dahesh, but he went further into researching the nature of the power performing these miracles and into its revealed teachings. The author interviewed friends, followers, and acquaintances of Dr. Dahesh, listening to their testimonies. Then he reviewed Dr. Dahesh';s writings, as well as what was written about him. The result was this book. Yussuf Wahbi, leading star and master of the Arabic Theater wrote the Introduction.
