وصف الكتاب | "Forty," or the Retreat of Forty, is a book about a life experience that Ahmed Al-Shuqairi lived on a remote island in the Pacific Ocean, from which he emerged with convictions and reflections about human nature and the relationship with others and with God Almighty. Between this and that, there is ample space for the author's representations of the memory of the past and the scene of the present, and his questions concerning how contemporary humans can extricate themselves from life's predicaments and work on purifying, elevating, and ennobling themselves. Therefore, this book falls into the category of morally developmental self-help books and personal growth, as the author provides a practical guide that readers can follow. As Al-Shuqairi sees it, "God Almighty does not want perfection from us, but He wants us to strive continually towards it." Ahmed Al-Shuqairi states about this work: "In this book, I summarize my journey over 40 years in this world. A journey of struggle and a continuous quest for inner peace. I do not claim to have arrived. The road is still long. However, it is a human experience in which you might see yourself and benefit and benefit others. I wrote this book during a retreat of forty days during which I isolated myself from people and technology, sitting on a remote island with myself, trying to reflect on what has passed and contemplate what is to come. I concluded with forty reflections in each of the following areas: 40 days with my life, 40 days with my Quran, 40 days with myself, 40 days with my improvements, 40 days with my stories, 40 days with my God, 40 days with my books, 40 days with people's wisdom, 40 days with my memories, 40 days with my wisdom." |
