My Body, My Choice: the story of a woman's liberation

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Long ago, a man in Banu Israil had a stunningly beautiful wife. The man loved him to madness. But she died soon. The man was so out of his senses that he stayed at her grave spending many days crying, wailing, weeping. One day Hazrat 'Isa عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ passed by the man. Seeing his unbearable distress, his torment and laments, Hazrat 'Isa stopped to enquire him about the cause of his travails.

Hazrat Abdulläh bin Sa'd bin Abi Sar'h رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ

Abdulah bin Sa'd bin Abi Sarh: A life of tremendous ups and downs that saw him in the exalted position of Wahy-writer, then as a Kafir -- no Salah, no Saum, not even iman in one Allah, and then at last: As salamu alikum wa rahmatullah!

My new laptop

After many months of planning, several months of consultations with friends, a few months of savings, and almost one month of dealing with the online seller, I finally received my much awaited laptop last week. And then the question came up: how to inaugurate?

Imäm Tirmizï had the answer for me:

Shamsheere Beneyam

Shamsheere Beneyam (The Unsheathed Sword) is a two-volume Urdu novel by Inayatullah Altamash depicting the illustrious life and glorious achievements of the celebrated army general of Islamic history, Hazrat Khalid ibn Al Waleed ibn Al Mughirah ibn Abdullah ibn Umar ibn Makhzum Al Makhzumi (May Allah be pleased with him!).

Woh Jo Shairi Ka Sabab Hua

Woh Jo Shairi Ka Sabab Hua (That which made me a poet) is an anthology of poems of various lengths by Janab Kaleem Aajiz Sb. The book begins with forewords by several eminent literati and a short life story of the poet himself. The life-story, written in lucid Urdu, touches the hearts of the readers and arouses more emotions that a well-planned novel would do. It is a tragedy and a heart-rending one at that. Sadly though, it is a real story.
