Aaidh al-Qarni’s famous book “don’t be sad” (la Tahzan) is Banned is Saudi Arabia

by AbdurRahman.Org

Sheikh Aaidh is famous for his book “don’t be sad” (la Tahzan) which sold more than 10 million copies. But the prominent Sheikh, who has more than 2.5 million followers on Twitter, recently faced a credibility crisis after a fellow Saudi female writer and author accused him of plagiarizing her work in another book he authored.

Salwa al-Aededan accused Sheikh Aaidh of having offered her 10,000 Saudi Riyals ($2,600) so that she could drop the plagiarism case against him.

Aededan claimed Sheikh Aaidh stole some parts of her book Hakada Hazamo al-Ya’as (This is How They Defeated Desperation). She later won the legal case against him and was awarded 300,000 riyal ($80,000) in damages. The court fined Aaidh 30,000 Saudi riyals ($8,000) to be paid to the government.

Sheikh Aaidh’s book was also withdrawn from book stores and banned from entering Saudi Arabia.

Samir Faraj, an Egyptian poet, also claimed that Sheikh Aaidh stole some of his poems.
