A barista who can read Quran gets away with listing \"Arabic speaker\" on his resume-until the day a man comes in to test him. A talk show host unwittingly asks, \"what happens after you die?\" to a Muslim audience member who's got a surprise for him. A man intent on memorizing the Quran starts by naming his first daughter Fatihah, his wife unaware of what he plans to name their next daughter. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe meet a fella who's jealous of the other kids' favorite \"djinn story\" teller; a Hollywood hopeful pitching a Quranic Cinematic Universe; and a Muslim man reliving the same day over and over à la Groundhog Day. Along the way, we meet a kid named Simon who doesn't appreciate the \"Bismillah game,\" a variation on Simon Says, a couple who has some amendments to make to their nikah contract, and we learn why you should leave all business behind on Jummah day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFinding inspiration from the marital journeys of Batman and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde to the tweaked supplications of an Artificial Intelligence bot, \u003ci\u003eNo Old Ladies in Jannah\u003c\/i\u003e sources comedy from the connecting dots of a Muslim mind in a mainstream world. Exhibiting playfulness with heart, humanity with humor, and traditions with a twist, this debut collection from Jawaad Khan is sure to entertain readers with a variety of themes, subjects, tones, and narrative voices. The many pieces here will take you in all directions, but are ultimately centered by the deft hand of a writer who takes both the silly and the serious quite seriously.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jawaad Khan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798987575109\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e From Fazila, LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/08\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.34d","brand":"Jawaad Khan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49084380709119,"sku":"9798987575109","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/no-old-ladies-in-jannah-jawaad-khan-9798987575109","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
