Dear Shafinaaz
Assalamu Alaikum
Congratulations on getting your book printed. It is a great thrill for any writer to see her/his work in print. You richly deserve it since you have such enormous talent.
I look forward to obtaining a copy and reading it. I am sure it will
make an excellent read. Your cover design is also very captivating.
Congratulations once again and may you continue to shine on the path
you have chosen.
My salams and duas to your parents as well.

I hope you are doing well, this is amazing! I think this is a wonderful achievement. I can’t wait to hear when the launch is as I am extremely excited about getting a copy and reading the book. The topic is of tremendous interest to me in the last year as I have just gotten through a selection of middle eastern and Indian authors on similar topics.
Let me know when you are around I would love to meet up and chat.

As you know, I will reserve comment for when I have read the work. I am confident that it will be a brilliant work, but it will offer me the chance to really be true to my word: verbose in vein!
Wishing you success!
Well done...about time too!

Congratulations Shafs! Any chance of bringing some copies over for us in North America?
Slms, Faraz! thnx.. Have not seen you hereabout for quite some time!
Well, two people from my launches have each respectively sent a niece and friend out in Toronto Canada a copy of the book as a gift. And I recently met a woman visiting Johannesburg from Vancouver and she took back about three or four copies of the book :)
So I guess the book kind of made it that way before I could!
Hope to follow soon, inshallah! ;)
One copy also made its way to Bahrain recently, btw.. :P
