Alaa Al Aswany’s “The Yacoubian Building: A Novel - Taha in the camp”
This is a quotation from Alaa Al Aswany's novel The Yacoubian Building in which Taha is adjusting to the regime at a camp where he has come to train with Islamists.

“In the beginning, Taha felt constrained, but this went away as the days passed and as he got used to the camp’s strict regime- rising at dawn, performing the prayer, reciting the Qur’an, breakfast; then three hours of nonstop demanding exercise (physical fitness and martial arts).  After this, the brothers gathered to take classes (Jurisprudence, exegesis, Qur’anic sciences, hadith ) given by Sheikh Bilala and other scholars (Al Aswany 204).
