بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

وَقُلِ اعْمَلُواْ فَسَيَرَى اللّهُ عَمَلَكُمْ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَسَتُرَدُّونَ إِلَى عَالِمِ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

And say: "Work (righteousness): Soon will Allah observe your work, and His Messenger, and the Believers: Soon will ye be brought back to the knower of what is hidden and what is open: then will He show you the truth of all that ye did." 9:105

There is Always Another Way


Over the last few years I’ve been writing and posting short stories on my blog. I chose ten of these stories to include in this small book. Six of them are true stories that I lived or witnessed. When I described real events, I changed identities and details as needed to protect the privacy of others.
I included one on the occasion of the birth of Prophet Jesus (AS), and another on the occasion of the birth of Prophet Muhammad (SAAW).
The rest are ‘realistic fiction’. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead is purely coincidental.
Each and every story delivers one or more moral lessons. The hope is that the readers will enjoy the stories and benefit from them in their personal lives.
