Dans sa nouvelle « À la recherche de Zaabalâwî », Naguib Mahfouz propose une vision profonde du conflit entre matérialisme et spiritualité dans la société égyptienne moderne. Le parcours du protagoniste – en quête du mystérieux cheikh soufi Zaabalâwî – devient une métaphore existentielle symbolisant la recherche incessante de l’homme pour la guérison et le sens dans un monde miné par le doute et l’aliénation. Les événements se déroulent à travers une série de rencontres décisives, où le héros éprouve les contradictions de la réalité et les limites de la perception humaine. Mahfouz fait référence au soufisme islamique à travers la structure narrative, incarnant l’idée que le chemin vers la vérité absolue est un voyage intérieur individuel, ce que confirme l’impossibilité d’atteindre concrètement Zaabalâwî. Le récit porte une critique acerbe de la modernité excessive, tout en réhabilitant les dimensions de l’expérience spirituelle marginalisée. Il soulève également des questions essentielles sur le rôle du patrimoine soufi dans le traitement des maux de l’époque contemporaine.
