In Search of the Creator

About this book

The book In Search of the Creator by Mohamed Mahmoud Mostafa Shoaib is not just a narration of theories or a rephrasing of what was said in the past, but a deep personal experience throbbing with doubt and wonder, with contemplation and search, and with the arduous pursuit of certainty. The author sets out from a harsh life experience that formed an existential turning point in his journey: losing his sight was the first spark that made him face the eternal question: Does God really exist? He then begins immersion in the worlds of thought, philosophy, science, and religion, moving between the visions of scientists, philosophers, and thinkers, between sacred texts and logical arguments, searching for the meaning of certainty in its three forms: knowledge of certainty, eye of certainty, and truth of certainty. The book does not offer ready answers so much as it opens before the reader a gate of wider questions; it places him at the heart of an extended intellectual battle between faith and doubt, between reason and soul, between the innate need for reassurance and the awe of losing meaning. It is a text combining personal narrative with scientific and philosophical research, between the warmth of human experience and the coolness of inquiry.
