Lot Essay

The Regeneration referred to by Mohammed Taman is the creation of thought, the empowerment of the mind and the ability to see beyond appearances.
Exploring deep-rooted myths, such as the so-called 'foreigner complex'- the idea that the West is the best Having experiencing life in the Egypt, where he shared everything with the society, but felt isolated, the Gulf, where he felt a sense of dislocation, and the West where he had little in common with many there, but felt accepted, Taman came to the conclusion that heaven is what he makes with his own hands anywhere. But to do it, one must first shake the dust off his soul and regenerate himself.
