Farooq Abdul Qader’s special attention to drama had a clear impact in Egypt and the Arab world. He also has done studies on prose.

Dr. Abdul Qader’s criticism defies common critical views. He also enriched journalistic criticism, and was creative, thus making a clear impact on the cultural scene he raised many intellectual cases with rare boldness. His varied studies present a live picture of modern Arab creativeness and new directions in all fields of literature.
