Sharīf Husain (Urdu: شریف حسین), who used the pseudonym Nasīm Hijāzī (Urdu: نسیم حجازی, commonly transliterated as Naseem Hijazi, or Nasim Hijazi) was an Urdu writer famous for writing Islamic Historical fiction. Born in British India he settled in Lahore, Pakistan after independence. His novels based on Islamic history are considered one of a kind in Urdu literature.
This is the first ever book I read by Naseem Hijazi after having his very well-known book Yousuf bin Tashfin / یوسف بن تاشفین on my TBR for so long. I enjoyed reading this, such a simple style and lovely descriptions. It's a short read but rich with his own insights of wherever he went.
