Assalamu alaikum,

Jazakum Allahu khayran to everyone for their kind words, here and elsewhere on MuslimMatters…

I really don’t know what else to say, but the idea of people benefiting from the story and translating it into actions is so humbling. May Allah reward MuslimMatters for facilitating this, and for being the means for us to read and reflect on all the Ramadan Short Story entries.

About MuslimMatters

Muslimmatters.org began in 2007 as a collaboration between various Bloggers and Shuyukh in order to bring attention to issues faced by Muslims, especially in the West. We have focused on issues of Religion, Society, Ethics, Sex Education, Politics, Civil Rights, Family, as well as the random issues that pop up from now and then, all with some ranting and humor mixed in.

We challenge ourselves and our readers to engage in discourses that touch our lives as citizens of the West, while maintaining our individual Islamic identities: Ultimately to cooperate, but not to compromise.
