Muslim fiction has had a hard time in gaining respect within the Muslim community, with some deeming it a waste of time and tantamount to lies. The shelves of Muslim book stores are laden with books, but few - if any - are Muslim fiction.

It is from reading such books that our teens desire to have a slice of that pie, and Mulky confirmed this.

Blog Submissions open!
12 Oct 2009 00:30:00
We are excited by the prospects of our renewed blog, and we're aiming for it to be a showcase haven of great works by talented Muslims, because we know that there are plenty out there.
Our submission guidelines are pretty simple, but we are also pretty strict that they are followed. And while we have an open door policy, we will not accept anything but your personal best. After all, it won't be just us reading it, will it?
Generally, we'd like to steer away from anything political, controversy is good, but a great story is even better! So if you're a writer and you're interested in submitting a piece of short fiction, flash fiction or poetry, read on to read our submission guidelines.

A huge "Assalaamu 'alaikum" everyone!
The An-Najm Publishers' blog is back, and this time around it won't just be about us rambling (because admittedly, it's fun to ramble sometimes!), but it'll be our corner to bring you a supplement of all things literature. Anyone who knows us know we have a special love for fiction written by Muslims, especially Islamic fiction.
