people of Gaza, I am publishing this story with a heart filled with sadness for the loss and pain you have gone through. You have lost many loved ones, from your children who were the flowers of the future, and from your husbands and wives who were a support in this life. It is a feeling mixed between deep sadness and great pride in you, in your patience and steadfastness that astonished the world.
After the withdrawal of the Zionists, you will return to your homes, and you will find the traces of suffering engraved on the walls, but they will not hide your hope and determination to rebuild. You will return to plant the seeds of life in your pure land, and to return the laughter of your children to your streets, and to create a future worthy of your steadfastness and sacrifices.
This story is not only about pain, but about the hope that springs from the rubble, and about the determination of the people of Gaza who teach us that true victory is faith in God and adherence to morals no matter the circumstances.

Truly Alive
In agony I deliver the children of faceless, infertile clients. To them I am nothing more than a vessel, bearing the fruit they so wish to carry within themselves. They love me for my ability, and they hate me for it. This is why I am hidden away here in the Factory where they cannot see my rounded stomach, swollen with their life. When the life inside me is gone, birthed into their eagerly-waiting arms, I will be left with nothing. I will be impregnated again, and again, until my body is ruined and I am sent away. I should question this system, this ritualistic rending of my heart, but I do not-in fact, I volunteered for this job. And now, six babies later, I am afraid to leave. It is better to carry life, even temporarily, than to have never carried it at all.Complete
Hate Thy Neighbor (A Palestinian's fight against the world)

My father is the one of the people who make decisions for the world. I am not a God fearing person or believe in God for that matter. I worship money and I have the power. My task right now is to wipe all Palestinians out of the land which they claim belongs to them. Well little do they know that power is me, and I am Brad Malroy. Raped, humiliated and abandoned , that is me Hayah Ahmed. Now payback time - not for me, but for the sake of my people who have been butchered over time. Our crime - being Palestinian. I face Brad Malroy for only one thing. To bring justice to my people, even if that mean I have to die in the process.Complete

Esha and Isa
Their sympathy had worn off and I was back to how I started, except I no longer had my husband beside me.

He saved you He saved me What about others?
The world was full of trouble. Full of confusion and a catastrophic dilemma. One couldn't imagine at what destructive measure it would disintegrate into. While so many things were done to make the world a better place. At some point, it would later be revealed that the biggest problem was not a lack of educational facilities or a lack of health facilities. Believe it or not, Africa, also wasn't the world's biggest problem. The problem with the world today is sin. Sin brought about problems that would perpetuate into many more generations to come! It's almost unbelievable that someone would leave greener pastures to settle in a beat-down environment like Earth. One would wonder what this being could ever want. If life existed beyond the surfaces of our universe, why stay? If there was the possibility of walking with a glory that outshined the brightness of the sun, why hesitate? God cannot love us anymore than He loves our neighbor. His love tank is so vast that it accommodates everyone. Had He only sent Jesus Christ to the rich or the poor in African households, His love would then be conditioned to those that qualified. What makes His love so unique and strange is that He loves the broken and the sinners. He loves those of us that are unlikeable and unattractive. He persuaded His only son to die gruesomely to have all of mankind at His bosom. In the movies, opening doors and buying a bouquet of flowers is symbolic of love. In families, love is expressed in many different kind of forms. Even animals have ways in which they show affection. While all of that might stand out. It cannot be compared to the love of God. God can feel love, and He is love!Complete
Second No More, a novel
I've dreamed of the perfect marriage ever since I was a little girl: a marriage complete with a hardworking husband while I tended to the home and our children, preferably four little rugrats to call my own. I dreamed of a life filled with laughter, joy, and success, a life we built together. I dreamed of growing old next to my husband, creating a great love story to tell our grandchildren someday. It all seemed so possible. I was raised to be the perfect wife, after all. From the outside, it seemed I had exactly what I dreamed of with the rich, determined husband; the brilliant, gaudy diamond ring; and the beautiful home filled with the hope of future children. Yes, it was all a dream come true. I should have felt grateful, really. The problem is, I also wanted a marriage based on love, passion, and affection, but those are the only things my husband cannot give me . . . . . . because they're reserved for her.

Love after Loss
----- (Arsalan's POV) She lifted her purse and raised it to strike me once with more, the anger returning to her eyes but only half-heartedly.

Gaza: Whispers of the Shattered Sky

Caged Skylark [PPB Book Series Season #2]
The voice of the oppressed, the unheard, the resilient. This compilation of stories, poems, and articles emerges from the heart of two communities--Bangsamoro and Palestine-who have lived under the shadow of occupation and conflict, yet continue to rise against all odds. June 2017 marked fifty years since Israel began its military occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip. The world watches, but the international response remains insufficient, often leaving Palestinians to fend for themselves in an ever-shrinking space. As these policies isolate and fragment, they erode the foundation of Palestinian society-ripping apart communities, stifling their economy, and stripping them of their human dignity. The impact is felt deeply, not only in the territory, but in the hearts of the people, as the prolonged occupation breeds hopelessness, frustration, and, at times, violent resistance. Caged Skylark carries these stories forward, giving life to the struggles of those whose voices are often silenced, yet whose resilience cannot be ignored. Through these pages, the reader is invited to witness the powerful force of survival, as both the Bangsamoro and Palestinian people continue to fight for their rights and their place in a world that seeks to overlook them. In these tales, there is no surrender-only a fierce, unyielding hope that one day, the cage will be broken and the skylark will soar free.
We shall not stop dancing
In September 2000 events in Israel had a big effect on my life. For the next few years Israel was targeted by scores of Palestinian suicide bombers who detonated deadly suicide belts packed with not only explosives but also schrapnel. There was no way of knowing when the next one would strike, be it on buses, cafes, restaurants or wherever crowds of people congretated. On June 1st a bomb struck a crowd of youngsters outside a disco in Tel Aviv. One young girl who lay injured told the paramedic "we shall not stop dancing". For some reason I still remembered those brave words years later. It was then that I decided to write a book about a fictional bombing in Tel Aviv. One of the biggest reasons for this was not generated by any political belief but to specifically show that despite everything that was thrown at them Israelis simply carried on living their lives. The book title comes from the brave words of the injured young girl. It will take you through just another regular day of 12 very different people, most of them unaware that it will be their last day.Complete
