Values and Purposes

About this book

In the journey of searching for "man" between the din of matter and the stillness of the soul. Have you ever wondered why we feel this alienation while in the heart of the crowd? Why does the earth grow too narrow for us despite the spaciousness of our houses, and our souls go hungry despite the fullness of our tables? In this book, Dr. Ibrahim Matouq offers no mere traditional religious preaching, but opens a window overlooking the depth of the human self, attempting to decode the complex cipher linking the "values" we embrace and the "purposes" we live for. This work takes you on a gradual philosophical and faith journey, beginning from the struggle of values within you, where virtue collides with the impulses of pleasure, and chastity battles the raging waves of desires. The book does not content itself with observing the ailment, but dives into our societal reality, analyzing family crises, education challenges, and the brutality of matter that turned man into a mere "cog" in a merciless economic machine. In a rigorous literary style combining the majesty of revelation and the wisdom of experience, the book rebuilds the concept of "the beauty of the soul" as a necessity for life.
