/Salaam, Brothers and Sisters I needed some Help and advice regarding a good cause. I am on the verge of compiling a small book on short stories on praising Allah swt and the prophet saw, it's basically a collection from friends, people from different walks of life on how their experiences on patience, difficult times, hardship, good times etc and how it was overcome/achieved by the blessing of Allah, through dua's and remembrance & praises of the teaching of the prophet saw. The purpose of this is basically to give other Muslim and brothers and sisters some encouragement, and knowledge and to tjose who are going through tests given to us by Allah swt and also just an insight into someone's experiences etc and praising Allah swt and the Prophet saw.Hopefully By people buying this I will collect the money to give to orphans, less fortunate people in suffering countries and people in greater need than us.
I have previously written for an anthology before and written for various newspapers and columnists in the past. I thought by making good use of mine and other people's literary and we all donate this to a good cause. However I have identified that there is a lack of Islamic publishing houses and the ones that exist have not responded back or don't seem to pay an interest its very sad to know that they do not encourage new aspiring writers and always seem to publish work from scholars and renowned authors. So I have not let this dishearten me and thought I will publish these stories like an e-book and people can purchase the copy through a document! I need help basically on two things number one I am looking for people with a bit of creativity and a story to share on how they thank Allah for what they have achieved an overcome, this can be a story, poem or anything that is inspiring!
so please i would love to hear from you. Secondly I appeal and request to all brothers/sisters to please generously contribute into buying this as by the grace of Allah you will be rewarded in this life and the hereafter and think to yourselves that Allah swt has given you so much he needs people like you to give to his other people, Just think you will save a life, family and benefit them and Allah will reward you with much more. Ameen
My contact details are; a-shah-786@hotmail.co.uk
The prices of the e-book are at £5.00
Many Thanks I hope to hear from you soon

If publishing doesn't work, try doing a regular newsletter.
Gentleness and kindness were never a part of anything except that it made it beautiful, and harshness was never a part of anything except that it made it ugly.

Thanks
I would say I was pretty polite in that post. I would never want to read such a book. Even less so if the author spammed the forum with multiple posts with the same content.

s**t means poo but society has labelled s**t as a more offensive word. Im not condoning swearing but if your gonna pull admin up on it then its only fair that Sumaiya should be pulled up for not blocking out poo coz someone might find that offensive.

that's true.
Also 'faeces' should be banned because it means the same too!

Hi Salaam all,
I must say i expected a better response from some people and as for 'You'
i do think it was harsh a disrespectful, As muslims we expected to give good/bad advice in a civilised way so that it doies not dishearten us, and we should follow the footstpes and teaching of the Prophet SAW, He SAW may Allah send blessings upon him would not give answers like that so no matter what you say as a muslim sister im dissapointed with your words.
Thanks to the rest of the guys for ur acknowledgement & support, And by the grace of Allah im please to say i have been offered a publishing deal, its true what they say if someones puts you down Allah opens many other doors, Allah just tests his people on what they would do.
God bless you All

1 - I was not the one spamming the forums with multiple topics (well, 2) with the same title and contents in different forums.
2. "Shit" is a perfectly normal word. It was not aimed at a person, but at the very exciting must read book. If you still find the word offensive, I guess you must faint before visiting the loo.
3. Politeness is all good, but it can be overrated.
4. I like lists.

Did you just say you like lists because you see a list, or do you really like lists?
