So began her pet project: to share the stories of the many Knights of Arabia with a whole new audience.Although there will be no flying carpets, there will be lots of great stories in the Knights of Arabia books. So come explore a wonderful ancient culture rich in adventure and romance.Currently, Aisha Bilal lives in Mecca, Saudi Arabia where she spends her free time reading, writing and trying to sketch her cat. She plans to write and illustrate a children's book and hopes to have it ready for publishing soon.

      Chapter 1: Zaid bin Amr bin Nufael - An Extinct Religion

      Kaan Ya Makaan, Fee Qadeem Al-Zamaan…

      There was a Place, in Times of Old…

      Called Mecca where a small group of friends gathered and discussed how dissatisfied they were with the Idolatry prevalent in their hometown. They agreed that although the religion of their forefather Ibrahim (peace be upon him) had been lost by time, they would try to reclaim it. That night, they made a pact to travel to distant lands in search of someone, anyone, who could teach them the long forgotten religion of Ibrahim (peace be upon him).

      For years, the friends travelled far and wide and met with the most learned clerics of every religion and creed. Some of the travelers converted to Christianity, others to Judaism. Sadly, some of them died without ever finding anything like the ancient religion they sought.

      One of the men, Zaid bin Amr bin Nufael, rejected all the religions he came across. He found both Christianity and Judaism to be very similar to the religion of Ibrahim (peace be upon him) so he eagerly studied them. However, after learning as much as he could about both religions and speaking to an endless number of priests and rabbis, Zaid decided that neither religion was that of Ibrahim (peace be upon him).

      In answer to Zaid's insistent questions about Ibrahim's (peace be upon him) religion, many of the priests and rabbis he met with told him that it was an extinct religion. Nowhere in the world, they said, is there anyone who still practiced the religion of Ibrahim (peace be upon him). Almost as an afterthought, they added that the time of a new prophet was almost at hand and that Zaid's homeland would be the land in which the new prophet was set to appear.

      With hope and wonder
