You are in love with a Naseem Hijazi book, the minute you start reading the preface. In his own words, for this book he wanted to do some research on the Mujahideen, and when he did so, he had so much to chose from. Obviously this small sentence is explained in his wonderful poetic style..
The purpose of his books is not amusement and time pass, but to enrich the dying flame in the hearts of Muslim youth.
As the book starts immediately you relate yourself to the characters that he creates for his readers.You smile, you cry and you laugh. You don't want to let go off the book, till the end is reached.
The book centres around 'Naeem', a fictious but completely believable character planted in that age of history where Muslim Ummah had started to decline from the steep that they had achieved just after the few years of the birth of Islam. Naeem is shown battling with Mohammed Bin Qasim and Qutaiba the two famous Muslim generals.
One can relate to the fact that Muslims in that time were so powerful that the only enemy that could defeat them was themselves. And that eventually happened, minus the eras of a few caliphates, the Muslims went in a self destruct.
Everyone knows that there is a need to bring about a change in the thought process and spirit of Muslim youth. What that change has to be Nasim Hijazi affectively highlights it in this book. Just be what Naeem and Abdullah were, and we would be out of today's mess in no time.
