The novel “Makhuta” is an awe-inspiring and meaningful creative masterpiece by Dr Najiba Arif, highlighting the contradictions and complexities of human internal and external life. This novel not only meets the traditional principles of storytelling but also introduces the reader to new dimensions through its depth and social and psychological layers. Dr Najiba Arif, in her own unique way, has illustrated through the characters how people hide their true selves behind different faces. The story of the novel revolves around an ordinary house and its characters, but these characters, through their complex psychological states and relationships, take the novel out of a general framework and take it to a deeper and symbolic level. There is a story hidden in every character, and a philosophy of life hidden in every story.
