The presence of apothecaries in the present day has become a lot, and the marketing of sweepers has become popular, and the apothecary’s search for the commodification of their goods is what spoiled the arena with all its data, perhaps it was a convenience or a search for gains or saving the expenses of their shops in terms of labor, lighting, taxes, information and inquiries, all of which makes them search for a way out Earn and lose..
Al-Attar sweeper is a word that resonates between the banks of closed doors, between charlatans and charlatans and those who frequent their places. The perplexed aspirant goes by order of the master of the hand, to gather for him what he scatters from the apothecary dust on the ground in order to scatter cloudy incense around his house in order to expel jinns, goblins, witchcraft, the evil eye, envy, bring sustenance, and say whatever you want.
It is strange and strange in this respect that this sweeper has become of the utmost importance, and is sought by fools, inexperienced, knowledgeable, and those with tricks empty of wisdom, that they are old people, who have no goal but to mount a wild horse of genius that only they can – according to their opinion – Al-Attar’s sweeping.
In fact, if we contemplate and examine the elements of this sweeper under the microscope of an expert who scrutinizes its particles, we will find that it is a summary and a mixture of all that the shop contains of the most precious and valuable contents of this shop, of rare and valuable herbs. The head is heavy with feet, and it derives its alleged strength only from collecting these elements to scatter them as flying dust around it in order for it to verify – as it believes – what was wasted under the feet of customers!
And he is looking for a hidden glory when he believes that it will only be achieved by collecting all the elements so that he and fools like him, including charlatans, charlatans and liars, can sniff them out to make him think that he is the salvation (the deadly valley).
One of the great thinkers says in his comparison between a ram and a mouse when both are slaughtered. The ram is eaten entirely, even its hooves are benefited from, so nothing is left of it! As for the mouse, he says: “The mouse is happier than the ram, because its tail is spared by cats. It will remain as a tombstone, broken.” On the ground, and the grave runs where the cat runs, but the tail of the sheep will also be absent in the stomachs, the teeth will not stop unless it humiliates them, a sure proof of their impotence, when they collide with an opponent harder than their fierce hardness, the gargoyles will gnaw until they crumble and chew.. they will suck the marrow, they will treat the cartilage. In the strength of the shell until you separate it by scraping and then grind it and swallow it, these teeth do not stand except where the grinding stops, that the remains of sheep bones did not escape from these teeth except with the ability of the able.
This comparison between the remains of a mouse and a sheep, despite the value of the latter and the lowliness of the former, is those remains in the al-Attar church itself; As the tail of the mouse remains as a tombstone because the cat healed it, while the ram is eaten up to its tail, and here lies the problem of the tombstones that crowd the squares with the tails of mice that even cats recover!
The al-Attar sweepers are many, and the hopes and aspirations of those looking for the magic lantern lamp with which our folklore buzzed, so perhaps the al-Attar sweepers will succeed in extracting the genie chained inside it.
A dream as old as myths and folk tales, but it is strange that it has become a dark reality in our cultural movement, in which the apothecary’s sweeper has become a safe haven for all those wishing to scrub the lantern under the power of incense with the sweeper, while the secret remains lurking in its details that combine all rare elements.
What sorcerers! They rub their palms and then shoot their throats, forgetting that the platforms are scandalous, do not accept cheating and equivocation, so with the first thread to show the vision, the incense spoils and the sweeper fails, and the secret remains in its elements that the perfumer keeps in his bottles that radiate every day with its buried perfume. It does not accept buying or selling, but it prefers to stay In its reservoir until the demand is remunerative, and that is why the sweeper market became popular in light of economic scarcity and bargaining for the cheapest, and perhaps without a price in return for floating on the surface and placing the pen in the forefront of the chest. It may be gold, silver, or an expensive brand, but in the end (the pen) only urinates Black or blue ink smears the paper and leaves us with a bunch of dull, meaningless papers.
The presence of apothecaries in the present day has become a lot, and the marketing of sweepers has become popular, and the apothecary’s search for the commodification of their goods is what spoiled the arena with all its data, perhaps it was a convenience or a search for gains or saving the expenses of their shops in terms of labor, lighting, taxes, information and inquiries, all of which makes them search for a way out And earning and diarrhea, in addition to ignorance and lack of awareness of what is given in their glassware and the most expensive of course, or that these customers are loved ones and friends, then the student and the wanted weakened, and the incense of the sweeper floated in all the halls, prayers and synagogues of speech.
What our country is doing in terms of this knowledge and remarkable renaissance for everyone with a head, from the formation of many cultural bodies and institutions through studied strategies at the hands of jurists, scholars, intellectuals, leaders of thought and pen, under the leadership of His Excellency the Minister of Culture, His Highness Prince Badr bin Abdullah bin Farhan, and with the vision 2030 of His Excellency the Crown Prince His Highness Prince Muhammad bin Salman – may God protect him -, It is nothing but an attempt to purify all the shops of all new perfumers from this sweeper and to make what smells in all parts of our homes a perfume with the scent of the precious oud, which is weighed in a sensitive scale like pure gold. These are our aspirations, and these steps on the way show the first degrees of vision.
