The Reflections Program (06/14) (2022) sheds light on the writer Maroun Abboud, who practiced education and journalism upon his graduation. He was studying and working at the same time in editing the "Al-Rawda" and "Al-Nassir" newspapers, then soon issued the "Al-Hikma" newspaper.
Abboud was also a writer who carried a national concern with great boldness. He was known for his Arabism, which he practiced in thought and behavior in a responsible spirit. He named his son Muhammad, as he named his daughter Fatima, so his revolution against traditions was embodied not only in his literary works on their diversity, but also in his rebellion against the rampant fanaticism in the Arab world. He says, "I gave birth to a son, so I named him Muhammad, so the resurrection of the people took place, a group disdain and ugliness and blasphemy, and a group befriended and triumphed."
Long live my son, long live the best boy his mother gave birth to in Rajab
We chanted, and his name is Muhammad, O history, do not be surprised
Reduce the astonishment and be humble if you see the son of Maroun named for the Prophet
His mother did not bore him a Muslim or a Christian, but an Arab.
And the Qurashi Prophet, the Chosen One, is the verse of the East and the pride of the Arabs
O my son, cherish the name of the immortal, and remember that you will live more faithfully
What did not come to him before him, Issawi in the old eras
I am the opponent of the traditions that cast the evil of war on the East
mock their superstitions, and say: This is how my father was before me
As for his academic path, after the First World War, he moved to the National University in Aley, where he took over the administration and taught the Arabic language, and at the same time he was writing to newspapers and magazines, and giving literary and social lectures, including his correspondence and lectures, constructive and scathing criticism of the traditions and sterile legacies that society adopts with docility. blind.
Abboud was a literary critic who distinguished himself with a penetrating eye, so he represented his environment well.
He revealed the pests that are destroying society through his stories and articles, depicting them in his satirical caricature style, convinced that literature is the mirror and echo of his society.
Through his literary works, he was able to penetrate into the depths of society with its individuals, traditions and customs, looking at the value of the human being, because literature for him is a commitment to the issues of society and he is a prolific writer. He has a famous poem in which he praised the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace.
Nizar Qabbani said in it: "We wrote poetry in the era of Maroun Abboud, and at the test of this rebellious oak, we sharpened our pens and left our names."
Maroun Abboud left a huge literary legacy that exceeded 50 books in various literary purposes.

His literature was also translated into some languages such as French and Russian." And Maroun Abboud passed away in 1962, after he stayed home to write and write.
The difference between silence and silence
As for the difference between silence and silence, silence: is generated from literature and wisdom, and silence: is born from fear.
As for the past “biting”, its present tense “bites” by opening the eye, not by joining it, and in the Holy Qur’an “and on the day the unjust will bite at his hands he will say, “Oh, I wish I had taken with the Messenger” (verse 27).
And in the order of thunder, he took from the Arabs their saying: The sky thundered, and if its voice increased, it was said: It trembled, and if it increased more, it was said: It rumbled and resounded.
If it intensified, it was said: She bombed and rumbled, and when it reached the end, it was said: It jolted and rumbled.
