Publication Date: September 16, 2012 In this touching story of redemption we see another side to the versatile writing of Sa'id Salaam. Carlos inherited the crown and all the drama that accompanied it. He was the king, entitled to money, power and respect. Only he didn't want any of it. He loathes the responsibility thrust upon him and longs for a simpler, gentler life he once lived. As those closest to him prove that there is no honor among thieves can he make it out alive when friends turn to foes, or will love conquer all. Ruqiyyah is beautiful, smart, and she could have any man of her chosen, but her eyes only falls on one man and one man alone. When Carlos and Ruqiyyah were young they made a promise to each other, will that promise be fulfilled? The Shahadah, a different kind of love story.
