Assalamu Alaikum
IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE MOST GRACIOUS,
THE MOST MERCIFUL
First of all, I thank Allah the Almighty for giving me the courage to write this.
If you're reading this, I thank you for adding my book to your library and giving it a try and Insha Allah, you won't regret it.
Your love and support is all I need to make this happen. So, please after every chapter I need tons of your votes and comments.
The message of the story is actually precise. It's educative as well as entertaining and I hope you would enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
I've used few Islamic terms in some of the chapters and below is a glossary that explains most of the words that you'll come across while reading. Hope it can be helpful to my non-muslim readers.
~GLOSSARY~

ASSALAMU ALAIKUM: Peace be unto you. The standard salutation among members of the Nation of Islam.
WA ALAIKA SALAM: And unto you peace. But is often considered the equivalent to "hello" or "good day" in English. It is the standard response to the Assalamu Alaikum.

HIJAB: The word is used in particular to mean clothing which covers a woman's chest, head and hair.
HAJIYA: means a lady who had gone to Makkah for pilgrimage while the male is HUJI or ALHAJI. However we use the terms to refer to old people in general as a sort of respect just like saying 'sir' or 'madam'.
