      Chapter 4 Cover
      by Asmau GM The sound of my phone alarm cut through the dull ache behind my eyes. I groaned, rubbing my forehead to soothe the budding migraine, and swiped the screen to silence the noise. I squinted at my digital to-do list. 10:00 AM: Zoom Meeting – Tanaka. I swore under my breath, tossing the file onto the mountain of other folders burying my desk, utterly exasperated by the disaster my workspace had become. Shoving back from my chair, I forced myself up and walked over to the full-length mirror near the…

"Sanaa," Ammi’s voice came through the speaker, warm and gentle. "No one lives your life for you, and no one is raising Naeem for you. People will always talk, but you cannot live your life in the shadow of…

      Chapter 2 Cover
      by Asmau GM Everything was a complete disaster. I thought letting my secretary, Marcus, leave without his standard four weeks' notice was the right, humane thing to do.

      Chapter 1 Cover
      by Asmau GM I woke up thirty minutes before Fajr—double my usual fifteen-minute window for Tahajjud. On most days, I stumbled out of bed rubbing sleep from my eyes, but today, my heart felt so full of gratitude that I couldn't wait to stand before Allah. A few weeks ago, I had dropped to my knees, begging for relief from our broken fridge. And He answered. An energy-saving refrigerator now stood in my kitchen, humming quietly. If it decreased my electricity bill by even two dollars, I would be utterly…
