A MAN OF AWESOME POWERS
A man of awesome power is an intriguing story about Tayyib al – Mahdi, how he
acquired and uses power and how the power changes Tayiid’s life. The guide will also
reveal what causes Tayyid to lose his incredible power and also the role of the media.
SYNOPSIS
A Man of Awesome Power is an intriguing story about Tayyib al-Mahdi, who lives a
comfortable life after retiring from many years of service abroad. His current life is
peaceful and uneventful. He spends time watching television, reading newspapers or
listening to the radio in the comfort of his apartment that he shares with his wife since his
daughters are already married. The story captures how an individual who is empowered
when least expected utilises the power given to him. His illusions of desire for a better
country lead to his dream of power acquisition.
One night, Tayyib dreams of a visitation by a man of radiant appearance who speaks to
him in a kind tone, informing him that God had willed him the power to order things to be
and they would be. Although he dismisses the dream like any other dream, its frequent
recurrence makes him give it more thought. Tayyib confirms its reality when he orders his
television to switch channels, and it happens. Endowed with the newly acquired power, he
sets out to reform his country and the entire planet as he had often wished.
He utilizes his power both for good and bad intentions. He starts by hitting back a taxi
driver who ignores him by wishing him an accident. He also causes a man who had
physically attacked a woman in a bus to suffer stomach cramps. We see him engaging in
meritorious deeds such as filing a gaping pothole, locking an electric box and removing a
pile of rubbish that he trips on.
The media does not escape his wrath as he causes one radio announcer to suffer massive
sneezes after making an announcement that gave false hopes. As the story progresses,
Sulayman Bey al-Hamalawi, a political leader who had evaded tax, is ordered by
Tayyib to go and pay the tax that he had been avoiding for a long time.
