what a beautiful OS 👏 i completely loved it
i watched a documentary that's based on pakistan and the views of the younger crowd (or something like that i forget now). the boys said that if they participate in killing others, they will get a place in heaven because it's written in the Quran. At the time, i didn't know what to say because my mind couldn't grasp the fact that how can a holy book tell someone to kill another person?? then my sister read some of the english verses of the Quran and said that it's not like that at all; that people find defend themselves of killing by using Quran. i think when a boy is young, he is brainwashed by his father or some other elder figure and is told that that is the right way to heaven. pretty misleading

once again beautiful story
beautiful technique of describing things

First of all, very precisely named! There is a lot more to it than meets the eye. Thanks, Mayyo! Appreciate the fact that you noticed it and made sense of exactly what I meant. 😳

I'm a little out of words for the amount of detail you've given to this one. Glad to hear that. The way you've explained all that has been going on around us in the name of Islam and Jihad really hit home. I think it was necessary to explain that, especially as we know that it isn't true. One thing which I particularly liked in this one is how Asma put light on things which are the truth and not the misconstrued meanings that are taken. People like Asma is what we need to bring out the facts from misconceptions. Just like her, it is very essential for all of us to know our responsibiltiy and act accordingly so that we can stand strong for the truth. This issue of such actions (suicide bombing and killing thousands of people) have always been raising burning questions for many around us, portraying Islam in all negative light, giving it the title of a religion of terrorism while it actually is the religion of peace. Unfortunately, people even buy the crap is what surprises me the most. It's like you throw your sense out the window and accept whatever is fed to you.

With the way you've narrated this story of a religious woman, I said Masha Allah for it! Really well done, Tia! 👏 Thanks, again! Really appreciate it.

The bold part is what you said cent percent correct. That is what has been happening in the name of Jihad and by using the Holy Quran as a cover!

This is amazing, Tia.

I know many members won't appreciate this because of the whole "Jihad VS Quran" debate but you have put it up in beautiful words. Loved reading this OS.
