Sheikh Mursaleen (20) a resident of Lajurah area of Pulwama district who is also preparing for JEE exams has recently published his first book titled "The Life of Last Prophet PBUH".

Mursaleen while talking with the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) said that since his childhood he was more inclined towards religion, and was reading religious books written by different people.

He said that when he was in 9th class he wrote his first article and then slowly started writing on different aspects of life of our beloved Prophet (PBUH) and later these all aspects were compiled together and given the shape of a book.

“In my book, I have compared the people living with our Prophet (PBUH) and today's people and how their faith was strong enough as compared to we people,” he said.

He said that he writes poetry in which he mainly compares Ishq-e Majazi (metaphorical) love with Ishq-e-Haqeeqi (the real love).

Mursaleen said that he is currently preparing for JEE exams but writing is his passion and he spends some time daily writing.

“The main message of my writing remains that don't claim but prove that we have strong faith and true love with Allah and his prophets and Awaliya,” he said—(KNO)
