Chicago Skies and Crescent Moons: “Love and Islam in the Shadow of Racial Prejudice” Kindle Edition

In a city defined by its skyline and shadows, two Muslims fall in love—but faith alone may not be enough to keep them together.

Chicago Skies and Crescent Moons follows the emotional journey of a Black Muslim man and a South Asian Muslim woman as they navigate love, identity, and the quiet but persistent racism within their own religious community. What begins as a spiritual connection soon becomes a test of resilience, as cultural expectations and unspoken prejudices threaten to tear them apart.

This contemporary romance explores not only passion and faith, but also the overlooked tensions within the ummah—proving that sometimes, the hardest walls to break are the ones built in silence.

A heartfelt, thought-provoking love story for anyone who believes love should never have to pass a skin-tone test.
