Before he can act, his wife Malaak flees into a barren land with their child, seeking refuge. While venturing into the unknown, her path unexpectedly intersects with Kareem's path, a young merchant who soon vows to protect the mother and her newborn when no one else will. With time, an ardent bond grows between them, and when Kareem summons the courage to declare his affection for her, he learns that he is too late.

1st place in the #gazawritesback competition. A young boy. From Gaza. Missing things that are needed, and yet you can't say anything, they're choking you though not in a direct way, your sitting on the ground, with your ripped pants and shirt, but it's not because it's the new fashion no its something entirely different, it's because of them, they stopped all the suppliers from helping you out, they took control over water and food, over electricity and other important things. All of that was a reason of why people died and passed away. But I didn't say it was the only reason... Copyright © 2017. All rights reserved.

Yesterday, 15th March, marked the 3rd year of the Syrian revolution. We've all read the news, seen the statistics, but it's robbed us of the human factor. Those are innocent people, children and families that are torn apart, destroyed and wrecked. We need to open up our eyes to reality. Honestly, if you even caught a glimpse of what's really going on, you wouldn't sit tight. Not meant to be offensive; this is me doing my part in raising awareness. And do your part; prayers and whatever you can give. Its not only Syria, its Gaza and West Bank and Waziristan and so many more places. Spread the word. Stand up. For humanity {Do not have to be Arab or Muslim or Middle-Eastern to read this. For all} A short story- collection, on something that's very close to my heart. [Spiritual #512]

[Spin off to Suicide, Skittles and Skates] Hannah Adem is one of The Elite at Premrose Private School, standing at the very top of the social ladder. But when her world - as she knows it - comes crashing down, she's forced to face reality. Behind the façade of indifference she paints on every day, Hannah is hiding a lot of insecurities that stem back to her background of which she knows next to nothing about. So when Rayne Parker, the quiet kid in her English class manages to see behind the towering walls she's constructed around herself, she's torn between two choices. Should she take the easy route and disregard him as a nobody, continuing living obliviously or will she allow him to help her face the fears of her past? But as she's about to learn, she's certainly not the only one with secrets and not everything is black or white. Sometimes you have to look at the shades in between to find out the truth. Sometimes you discover that life is entirely greyscale.

Palestine. I have written these poems in 2015.

Zach and Yasmine are two teenagers just trying to get through life by keeping their head held high and never letting their hopes drop. Although this can be hard when you're living in an illegally occupied country such as Palestine, they're there for each other. ALL the time. Yasmine is sarcastic, witty and a little controlling. Zach is quiet, annoying and indecisive. All the perfect ingredients to get on each others nerves! However they're basically twins...born apart but meant for each other from the beginning. They're Palestwinians. Join them on this journey as they challenge and learn from each other, battle the hardships of life and dream of their future....possibly a future together? Will they live up to the 'girls and guys can't be friends' motto? Can they survive, where only danger surrounds them? Who knows? Read to find out! All Rights Reserved. Copyright © 2014

"My sisters are being raped in Palestine! Innocent virgins are being raped in Palestine! Let say, it was your mother, sister, cousin, girlfriend, best friend or your favourite teachers? Now let's imagine that was YOU! Would you only care then? Now what if your sisters, best friends, cousins, brothers or teachers were murdered or bombed right in front of your eyes!How would you feel? You haven't stored a weapon in your house or anything but these people call you terrorists? These people killed your family? These people say they defending themselves? The world is more worried about the Fifa world cup? How would you feel?"

This very short poem is written for those who have lost and suffered through their lives and is just a reminder that their are people out there fighting til the very end in the holy grounds of Palestine as well as the many other Arab countries accompanying this horrific crisis. And remember Allah tests the ones whom he loves the most with the most severe of events. I think these sacrifices they direct to Allah alone deserve much more luxury than all of ours combined.
