Abel's daughter

Author's name: Sarah Al-Badri

What makes the search for acceptance so associated with loss, and burdened with desire and pain?
Did God look favorably upon Abel’s offering because it was offered with sincere love and humility?
In Ruqayya's world, teeming with people who enter her life unannounced, events intertwine and details unfold, bringing her face to face with Safiya, her complete opposite. This difference between them seems like the only hope for saving herself from self-loathing, especially as they both attempt to overcome a sin they have both committed. But what appeared to be a shield becomes a heavy burden, obscuring the truth amidst doubts and conflicting emotions.
It is a journey into the depths of the human psyche, a tumultuous dialogue between the three components of man: the soul, the mind, and the body, and a final attempt to hold on to a faint thread of light in a world that is growing colder and more mysterious.
