In addition, the books sheds light on various aspects of Abu Shehab’s intellectual and artistic personality, which

is portrayed in an engaging storytelling approach, emphasising the relationships that brought the author and

poet together despite their age difference. It highlights various situations the author experienced with poet Abu
Shehab, offering a thorough viewpoint that reveals a unique, extraordinary, and exceptional person who

maintained strong connections with the nation’s leaders and notable dignitaries, acting as a bridge between

two generations of poets in both expressive and popular traditional literature.

Through the book, the author also highlights the influence of the poet Abu Shehab in UAE folk literature. Abu
Shehab has made significant contributions to the establishment and development of this literary genre in the

post-union period and has been instrumental in promoting popular traditional literature through the media.

Notably, the author has also included all the literary works done by the poet.

The Rashid Al Khadar Museum, where the book signing ceremony was held, is a highly significant cultural
landmark in the Emirate of Ajman. It plays a key role in supporting art and poetry, as well as providing a dynamic

platform for hosting cultural and art events that link the past and the present. Furthermore, it contributes to

protecting the Emirati heritage and efforts that reflect the cultural identity of the UAE.

Last year, the Ajman Tourism Development Department and Al Owais Cultural Foundation came together and
signed a cooperation agreement. The key objectives of the agreement were to promote cultural events that

enhance the nation’s cultural landscape, and spotlight authors and intellectuals who fortify the UAE’s cultural

identity.
