Making Your Acquaintance

BismAllah alrahman Alrahim.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Beneficial.

I greet you all with the greetings of the prophets and messengers of Allah: Assalaamu alaikum warahmat Allahi wabarakaatu. (Peace, blessings and grace of Allah be upon you all).

As a new blogger here at the An-Najm Blog, I would like to take this opportunity take the chance to introduce myself before I simply jump into my blogging.

First of all, I would like to thank sis Umm Junayd and all the wonderful people of the An-Najm family for giving me this opportunity. I only hope and pray that I can live up to their expectations and hopes, and I hope that we can all turn this place into a lively interactive spot for all lovers of Islamic literature.

Based in Saudi Arabia, I come originally from the United States. Having lived the first half of my life in the west and the second half in the middle-east has given me the grand chance to understand both regions well, and have many contacts in both areas as well.

Here at An-Najm, we are a team concentrating our goal on producing, presenting, and promoting high quality Islamic Fiction. A wide-ranging venue, it is a pioneer field in which we are all pioneers carving a niche for this new genre.

I hope and pray that we will become more acquainted with one another in the near future, as well as becoming more interactive. Please read on in the upcoming posts from myself, sis Najiyah and sis Umm Junayd, to learn more what this is all about, as well as being notified of important events concerning the literary world. As a member of IWA (Islamic Writers Alliance), I receive many varied notifications on various important writing events happening in today's world. Hence, I will also be forwarding on to you any such notifications concerning the development or nature of Islamic Fiction.

Looking forward to getting to know all of you readers as well. Please do write in and tell us about yourselves. Or ask your questions that you may have, or even make requests on topics that you want researched/discussed here. This is your site, so make it yours.

- Balqees.
