MashaAllah to all the brothers and sisters that took part in this competition. I voted for “A Word of Passing” by Bint AbdelHamid because her story actually made me pray 2 raka’ahs before going to sleep. Through her story she got me to get out of my chair and do something which will count toward the akhirah. She got me to actually get up and make a difference in my life.

Her story was something one can have fun reading, enjoy, shed a tear and break out a smile. While at the same time, her story didn’t just sit in my head and have me say to myself, “That was a nice story.” Instead, it got me to actually act upon what I read, Alhamdulillah!

Just my 2 cents

To all those who read it PLEASE do it pass it on.. I sent to the people on my list and so far two people replied, asking when the best time to pray would be, whether it’s only prayed in ramadan, etc.. Alhamdulillah..

Mashallah, as the others have said.

Well written in a beautifully simplistic way that still manages to pass on some gems towards the end.

May Allah reward you and your friend, and make us all among those qa’emoon.Ameen.
