My Country 1
2000 ……… My Country
I write the story & do the illustrations
Once upon a time, the sky of our country has been darkened.
A big snake covered our beautiful sun, spit out its poisons and wolves.
I shall tell you about the patience of the land and its people.
In the north there is KAKA AZAD and his beautiful wife NARGES.
From the middle land, the Grandfather Ali and his great library & AHMAD, the student.
Uncle ABDLLAH from marshes where the reed houses are.
From the south, FATIMA and the fish basket, and plants which are getting ripe.
HEALA, the beautiful girl who is living in the desert and in the colored camp.
Tips of palms, domes of faith still high, never been touched by the snake.
The Spirits of our dear people who protect peace in the vale of Pease.
Our dreams and hopes remained colored in spite of darkness and all poisons.

Sun in the core of the sky1
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم …. In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
2001
Al Zalima ... Al Zalima…….. الظليمة ... الظليمة
Sun in the core of the sky…….. شمس في كبد السماء
The story of book it's about …. Imam Hussein (Alih Al Salam) in AL Taf
The horse of Imam Hussein (Alih Al Salam) is called (Tho AL Ganaah) A wing
الکتاب عن الإمام الحسين عليه السلام في واقعة الطف ... وهو عن لسان فرس الإمام الحسين عليه السلام ...المسمى ذو الجناح
A hero came along on his white horse, and with him came many courageous knights to fight a tyrant snake, which spread inequity and corruption.
The big snake was not strong enough to struggle. It was more cowardly than it thought, so it gave order to its second head; the small snake to lead the troops. Hence, thousands and thousands of wild huge locusts came straightforward. A violent fight took place.
The knights with the hero fought a courageous fight and defended the right with sincere loyalty. Then they died martyr one after one. And heaven went into wrath for what had happened. Virtuous hands rose high to sky and the white horse galloped with grieve and pain. The hero stood alone and fought a ferocious fight, never ever known before.
Then, he fell martyr and his horse fought in defense of him. Then his horse returned to him putting its head on his head. The hero has thus remained lofty like sun in the core of the sky, and his banner still waves proudly in the air. For heroes never die, never their banners fall down, as they stand for the right.
