About The Book

Inspired by dream-born words — “I am not the enemy but the cure” — the book invites a shift in perspective, reminding us that what we often perceive as obstacles may, in truth, be pathways to healing and growth. Using aerial landscape art as a metaphor, it challenges the reader to rise to a higher vantage point — like a bird in flight — to see beyond immediate pain or struggle. From this elevated view, what once appeared as barriers at ground level may be revealed as the very cure we need: whether it is the guidance of our parents, the trials that shape us, or the struggles that strengthen us.

Parenthood is the quiet miracle of life—a journey so profound it transcends words and weaves itself into the very fabric of who we are. It is love in its purest form: tireless, unyielding, and often unseen.

With each page, A Debt of Love calls us to pause, to reflect, and to honour the hands that guided us, the arms that sheltered us, the voices that calmed us, and the wisdom that shaped us. More than a collection of essays, it is an invitation to gratitude, reverence, and remembrance—for the irreplaceable role of parents in our lives. In these moments of reflection, we are reminded of the timeless prayer “My Lord, have mercy upon them [my parents] as they raised me when I was small.” (Holy Quran, 17:24) and grant them health, multiply their rewards, make their children the coolness of their eyes, and allow us to serve them in the best and most pleasing ways.
