Fiction
Small Tales and Visits to Heaven XI ~ Has Won A Literary Titan Award. Top Story - March 2025.
"... presenting spiritual lessons wrapped in the framework of narrative storytelling... The book's strongest element is it's raw, emotional depth... The way spirituality is explained here is less about doctrine and more about personal experience which makes it engaging for those who have ever questioned the nature of existence or had an unexplained experience of their own... One thing that stands out is the book's poetic and philosophical writing style...it dances, it drifts, it spirals into deep thought. Small Tales and Visits to Heaven is a fascinating and thought provoking read."

Firestorm
Chapter One - The Beginning of the Storm The Prince Shihab sat on his throne in the imperial palace, quietly contemplating the green gardens surrounding him. Despite all the wealth and power he enjoyed, he did not feel at ease. He was worried about the future of his empire, which he inherited from his parents. Queen Amalia entered the room with firm steps, her face red with anger. "What is this I hear about a conspiracy against you?" she asked loudly. Shihab sighed heavily. "I don't know the details yet, but General Rafik has indicated rumors of a potential betrayal." The Queen's anger increased. "This cannot be true! We are the emperor's family; how dare anyone plot against us?" "I don't know, Mother. But we need to investigate the matter cautiously. We don't want to rush into actions that might lead to chaos." At that moment, General Rafik entered the hall with a worried look on his face. "Your Majesty, there is disturbing news. A fiery storm has appeared on the horizon and is heading towards the city." Shihab looked outside the window. On the horizon, he saw clouds of flame quickly moving towards the palace. He felt fear creeping over him. "This can't be a mere coincidence. There are evil forces lurking around us." Queen Amalia frowned. "This matter is more serious than we anticipated. We must take immediate action to protect the city and the people." Shihab raised his hand, pointing to the general. "Rafik, send messengers immediately to all parts of the empire. Ask the army to prepare to defend the city. And you, Mother, gather the advisors immediately. We need to discuss this new threat." The general smiled confidently. "At once, Your Majesty." Then he quickly left. Queen Amalia and Shihab remained alone. She looked at him sharply. "This matter is very serious. I don't know if we can withstand these threats." Shihab raised his head bravely. "We must try. If we don't, our empire will fall. I can't allow that." The queen smiled proudly. "You have grown to become a wise leader. I will do everything I can to help you." At that moment, General Rafik entered once more, his face flushed with effort. "Your Majesty, the forces have begun to move to defend the city. But there are worrying reports of attacks in remote areas." Shihab sighed with concern. "This confirms that there are hidden forces manipulating things from behind the scenes. We need to uncover the truth behind these events." Queen Amalia held her son's hand. "Don't worry, we will overcome this challenge together. We have faced hard times before, but we have always survived." Shihab looked at his mother with renewed confidence. "Yes, Mother. I will not give up easily. I will do my best to defend our empire." At that moment, the fiery storm appeared in the city's sky, casting its fearful shadows on the palace. Shihab felt anxiety coursing through his veins, but he clung to his determination. He was determined to face this new threat with all his strength.
