Short findings

As Ahlam Mosteghanemi is one of prominent writers who descent from a middle eastern
Islamic background which is closely reiterated with terrorism and extremist scenarios,it is
necessary to highlight her remarkable contribution for the human rights literature along
with other aspects of Ahlam Mosteghanemi novels. It is more important in the present 
world scenario. Because, Arab world countries and Arab Islamic culture have been
criticized  and blamed by terrorism agitations.
The  analytical study of well celebrated "Zakirat el Jassad" helps to open a  new horizon
of academic research to all who loves the Arabic language and literature.
