A semi autobiography. This is a FICTION book that has been inspired by TRUE events.
The book is set in Britain, in the year 2035. The native white British population is reducing faster than had been previously predicted, with the country experiencing an immigration apocalypse. The threat from Islamic extremists is at an all-time high and Civil War is brewing.
The story is about 'Laila', a British born Muslim lady of Pakistani heritage, who dares to speak up during these challenging times. It follows her journey as an outspoken woman who is on a mission to unite the Kingdom. She aims to encourage positive social reform in the Muslim Pakistani community - a community that is infamous for being INTOLERANT. As she continues to speak up, she comes face to face with Islamic extremists and from then on it becomes a race against time.
Does she unite the Kingdom? But most importantly, does she survive?
V sad to have to write this review of a book it may no longer be possible easily to obtain.
The authoress Lubna Zaidi (also sometimes called Lubna Fahran) a not very religious British Muslim of Pakistani ancestry, who was a contestant on the British version of 'The Apprentice' on BBC TV in 2019, has posted a short message on YouTube that due to violence and stalking by British Muslims who object to what she has to say about things that happen in their communities she is withdrawing her book and merchandise from sale and deleting all her posts and videos. They seem to think outright denial and threats somehow better protect their interests and reputation than being open to constructive criticism.
Lubna fled her home town of Luton, with her children, for similar reasons a few months ago, but they have caught up with her again, and has been driven out of her day job as an accountant. I assume she will now change her name and relocate again, possibly even abroad, and try to make a new life as anonymously as possible.
The police are ineffective in protecting her. Just about no British Muslim politicians, religious leaders or British Muslims prominent in culture, sport, business or anything else have spoken out against the harassment and death threats she has received from their brother Muslims, nor has Alan Sugar or anyone else associated with The Apprentice or the BBC said anything about it, as far as I know. That tells us something about what those people are really like.
Lubna says she has left instructions that if 'anything happens to' her, her books and videos should be re-released.
I do not have time to write a full review just yet of her short but interesting biographical novel, which tells us things only someone who has lived in a British Pakistani family and community would know, but hope to add this shortly.
“The best jihad is a word of justice (or truth) in the presence of a tyrannical ruler.”
This short novella is an engrossing and quick read. A cautionary tale showing all sides of the immigration issue currently facing the Western world, especially 2026 Britain.
It’s a balanced look behind a cultural curtain that only an insider can show.
As a Muslim myself, all I could think about after reading “2035 Britain: A Candid Story” was: “we have met the Pharaoh and he is us.” Hence the title of this review, which comes from a well-known Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
This work is a stunning act of bravery and dedication to the truth and integrity of all Muslims and their communities to speak up against the evil doers who poison our wells.
In shaa Allah this work takes hold, and all people who are truly of good faith will see the damage being done by the “bad apples” and their false allies.
May the ending not come true. And Allah swt knows best.
