I hope that you dont mind but i would like to expand on the origins of the story a little;
Its a nice story written by the deobandi i.e wahabbi, salafi people in the UK funded through Saudi and taught from Saudi Imams, i know them well as a group, here is thier beliefs on other things:
All women should wear niqab and wear black, this is nothing perscribed by Islam
All women should stay home and not work outside of the home (hence why i was called to be with the wife of a sheikh when she was so sick in the hospital because she was 28 years old and never had been around a male other than husband or father so she didnt know how to deal with the male doctor who was trying to save her and her babies life)
There is no Tasawwuf (Information concering the traditional Islamic science of self-improvement and spirituality) its pushing a fear Allah SWT agenda, Its not Islam to fear, its Islam to love.
If it was up to these people there would be no Sayyida Zaynab mosque and Egypts version and understanding of Islam would be very different, praise be to Allah swt that there will always be people in Egypt and the rest of the world that will be against this ideology.
Please anyone dont misunderstand what im saying, im not saying that Islamic dawah is not a great concept and action but the kind of Ideology and the impact of that on any society and people is what needs to be measured. I personally wouldnt like to live in a world run by the Saudi- wahabbi agenda of Islam.
Allah knows best

read it a long time ago. i liked it then. and i like it now. but i believe these stories should not be ISLAMIC... but neutral for all theists. so that everyone will read it. instead of them not reading it simply because it is based on islam.
