ABOUT
IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE MOST GRACIOUS, EVER MERCIFUL.
SACRIFICE (TADHIYA IN ARABIC; GEISEI IN JAPANESE) IS A WORK OF SPIRITUAL FICTION INSPIRED BY THE HISTORY OF ISLAM AND THE MANY SCHOLARS, LEADERS AND THEOLOGIANS THAT IT PRODUCED.
THE SERIES FOLLOWS A TIMID GIRL NAMED LAYLA BINT MUSTAFA.
SHE HOLDS A SPECIAL GIFT THAT SHE CHOOSES TO CONCEAL –
UNTIL ONE DAY SHE IS FORCED TO MAKE A CHOICE:
USE HER GIFT TO HELP THOSE IN NEED, OR RUN AWAY FROM HER POTENTIAL.
MY HOPE IS THAT THIS STORY WILL HELP BREAK THE MANY FALSE NARRATIVES
SAID ABOUT ISLAM AND MUSLIMS IN MEDIA WORLDWIDE, AND HELP INSPIRE
A NEW GENERATION OF ARTISTS TO CHASE THEIR DREAMS.
IF THIS SERIES COULD SOFTEN HEARTS AND OPEN CLOSED EYES,
THEN I SHALL BE SATISFIED WITH THIS WORK.
I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS WORK
AND IF YOU DO PLEASE SHARE IT WITH
THOSE WHO THINK WILL FIND VALUE IN IT!
