Abstract
In ancient prehistoric times of the beginning of 20th century, Arabic world in general and Egypt in particular was thought to be the hub of knowledge and political practices. The basic political approach was to prevent foreign invaders from getting into Arab world and to maintain their own national sanctity. In this regards, one of the most prominent literary figures in Arab world is Tawfiq al-Hakim. This paper is a literature review of Al Hakim' literary contribution and thus, the main conclusion obtained from this is that Tawfiq al-Hakim has a significant position in maintaining true quintessence of literature in terms of tragedy because he kept the religion alive in his dramas and literary figures. He denied the fact that Islamic cultural civilization has to be ignored in order to understand the essence of Greek mythology. Only if there was a bond developed between the cultures of Islam and Greeks, it would have enriched not only Arabic but European cultural boundaries as well. He also went against the concept of the fact that Islam cannot sustain the tragic events because they believe in the concept of predestination.
