He initially pursued a career in law but soon shifted his focus to literature and theater. His works, such as "The People of the Cave," "The Return of the Spirit," and "The Sultan’s Dilemma," are considered pivotal in the development of Arabic drama. Al-Hakim's style is marked by philosophical depth and symbolism, tackling social, political, and intellectual issues with boldness and originality. He passed away in Cairo, leaving behind a rich literary legacy that continues to influence to this day.
