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.
