 Decision of the General Secretariat   

Sun Allah Ebrahim achieved a rich balance between artistry and social and intellectual content. He is one of the main novelists who broke the traditional mould and removed loose language from prose. He always made it a point to express social changes by following development of the day.  

From this aspect, Sun-Allah Ebrahim’s works allow us to view asp eats of the Arabic novel development, as well as to read the society’s struggle to support the values of development and critical knowledge. His works with their variety in narration, voices, and language, make the novel a tool of knowledge, which can be considered an addition to this art in the Arab world.
