You can choose your house. Not your neighbours.
WELCOME TO YOUR DREAM HOME.
Salma Khatun is extremely hopeful about Blenheim, the safe suburban development to which she, her husband and their son have just moved. Their family is in desperate need of a fresh start, and Blenheim feels like the place to make that happen.
MEET YOUR NEW NEIGHBOURS.
Not long after they move in, Salma spots her neighbour, Tom Hutton, ripping out the anti-racist banner her son put in their front garden. She chooses not to confront Tom because she wants to fit in. It's a small thing, really. No need to make a fuss. So Salma takes the banner inside and puts it in her window instead. But the next morning she wakes up to find her window smeared with paint.
AND PREPARE FOR THE NIGHTMARE TO BEGIN
This time she does confront Tom, and the battle lines between the two families are drawn. As things begin to escalate and the stakes become higher, it's clear that a reckoning is coming… And someone is going to get hurt.
A gripping thriller about nightmare neighbours, Those People Next Door explores the loss of innocence and how far we’re prepared to go to defend ourselves and the people we love.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Muslims believe that the Qur'an represents the words of God as
revealed by the Angel Gabriel to Muhammad over a period of
approximately twenty-three years, beginning in 610 AD, when he was
forty, and concluding in 632 AD, the year of his death. All of it
came from the mouth of one man. More people read the Quran than any
other book ever written.This new edition of the book has been
published to help Muslims not fluent in Arabic to understand the
meaning of the words. It includes an English translation by
Abdullah Yusuf Ali and a transliteration into Roman text by Abdul
Haleem Eliyasee.However, it is important to remember at all times
that the authoritative text is the Quran itself. These translations
and transliterations are only intended to be helpful guides. They
are not substitutes for the original.Every Muslim is required to
read and understand the Quran to the extent of his ability. The
words "To The Extent of his ability" is key. Obviously, a man who
cannot speak Arabic and who is poorly educated will not be able to
achieve the same level of understanding that a highly literate and
educated native speaker of Arabic can. Nevertheless, even the
poorly educated man must try to read and understand the actual
words of the Quran. There is no Pope or supreme authority in Islam.
Every man is his own authority. This is what Muslims believe.
