Question:
Salam aleykoum dear shouyoukhs , hope to find you in good health.
I actually can’t work where I am (Indonesia, must wait one year again to get the right visa) and I really wonder what I could do to make something useful instead of creating video games or drawing comics, that makes me always feel I’m wrong in the bottom of my heart. I’m considering about writing a novel alluding to modern world or translating some Naqshbandi books in French if I get the authorization. What could I do to be useful?
Barakallahou fik and please forgive my low adab.
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
Why not gather all or some of the Sufi stories from the books and suhbas of our masters and weave them into a comic book novel that would attract both children and older readers? This way you can market your talents and at the same time follow your heart’s inspiration.
