Now in paperback, a joyous short story collection by and about
Muslims, edited by New York Times bestselling authors Aisha Saeed

this day of celebration, the emotional responses may be summed up
in another short and sweet word: joy. Contributors include G.

state of affairs, but hopes this will serve as inspiration for
positive action (oftentimes saving money at the same time). It is

transactions and moral character), reflecting on Islamic teachings,
the current situation and then giving examples of practical ways we
might please God by being a good guardian. With a long-standing
interest in the environment, Rianne C. ten Veen has written this
book as part of her struggle for the environment. With two Master
degrees and a Diploma in Environmental Policy, she is a
