I was rifling through old papers the other day; school certificates, notes passed in class, newspaper clippings and that sort of memorabilia when my eyes fell on a crumpled, tea stained photograph. A young(er) me stood smiling at the chief guest as I collected my prize during the speech day at my old school. I smiled with fond memories, scanning the picture for familiar teachers and other friends, taking in every detail of me, my uniform, my scarf... my scarf!
OK, maybe all memories aren’t as fond. Like this one. I clearly remember the scene of the prize distribution. I was standing in line with my friends, chattering excitedly about which latest bestseller we might receive, when my teacher approached.

However, the fact remains that one-third of all recognized cases of bankruptcy in the civilized countries of the world, is because of physical and mental inefficiency caused by the intake of alcohol...
For many of us we have very few well written narratives to inspire us. West Indian Readers had but not Islamic Literature. This is a fine endeavour by a Guyanese female Muslim to rewrite the Story of Abraham in order to inspire the young while quoting the Quran and analyzing the events historically.

Have we ever thought that Abraham is well placed in all world religions and Islam celebrates his personality the most?
