If a city has a true and beautiful reason to live, it is the breathing of its people, the act of culture that gives it a memory, a home, and broad possibilities for life to continue. If the birth of a beautiful word has anything to do with how things become poetry or how events transform into profound art, then the reality of a city is its houses, the successive lives that multiply within it, and the hands that grow within it like bridges with more distant cities, with more expansive homelands, with the vast and deep of an idea.
The city of Muharraq has a certain specialness, a different beauty… It has its own breathing that, every time it happens, brings a human face, or a house, to the face of the city. And so, the stories come one after the other, and then the city fulfills its dreams. It is not from a city devoid of dreams, but rather from the son of the city who believes, creates, and accomplishes. And about the city of Muharraq, there are those who have been working on weaving its heart, those who meticulously weave its identity, and those who place some of their features in it to give it a memory.
If we analyze the age of the city (Muharraq), there are houses that kept their light, never extinguished. That is because the interior of the place is that light. Its interior is the person whose heart never sleeps, even if he is absent. So the story says that a granddaughter did not search for that light, so she returned to the origin of the place from which it grows. From here, life opened up successive stories, of intellectuals whose places in memory were delayed by time, of letters that found their way between the hands of Sheikh Ibrahim bin Mohammed Al Khalifa and personalities who dream, write, and think despite the distance, and of many details, who were working to sculpt knowledge,
and achieve culture and science.
From the original site of those official correspondences, and the places where intellectuals, thinkers, writers, poets, and politicians once sat, the cultural bet was able to restore the story of the place, to give it a new life, and to connect it to what Shaikh Ibrahim bin Mohammed Al Khalifa dreamed, sought, and accomplished. From the same council that was a close home for culture and knowledge, culture began to create its own homes and projects, as if it were chronicling culture as the identity of the place.
Today, the additional lifespan granted to this council is 15 years, during which the city of Muharraq has known more than 500 cultural, literary, and political figures. Dreams have found many homes, beautiful places that affirm that beauty saves the world, and that culture is synonymous with love, and that both are lifelines.
