Dina Norlund

What A Strange Transmigration [WAST Rewritten]

“.... Am I even allowed to die?” . . . Ever lived a life of no control? Dina, an intersex, with a second personality that was obsessed with a man who would rather have nothing to do with her, longed for death every passing day of her life. Her stalkerish behavior was finally exposed, and her social life, the only thing she had going, crumbled. Standing on the edge of the cliff, she looked up into the sky and muttered what would be her last words: “If I stabbed you, would you bleed ink?” She chuckled. Guess she'd never know. . . . “Welcome, Geraldina, to The Bureau of Souls.” The man spoke words she had only ever heard in fiction. He spoke of transmigration. He spoke of capturing the heart of another. He promised to give her freedom. He promised that even during the duration of her ‘job,’ she would have her free will. He promised… to get rid of it. In exchange for her soul. She agreed. Despite everything, she still had a question she wanted an answer to. [If I stabbed you, would you bleed ink?] Extra: — This novel will be completely free from beginning to end, so dear readers, please support me with comments and ratings! Please! — While there may or may not be Patreon deals, they won’t ever place free readers at a disadvantage. I promise not to be greedy! — I'm always open to suggestions from my readers, so tell me anything you want to see~. — You can read the first version, This Transmigration Seems Somewhat Strange, but it’s a bit of a mess and will be vastly different from this one. — Serious themes will be explored here, and I’ll handle each with care. Just know: the MC isn’t exactly a good person—she’s desperate, and that desperation will show. — The main character’s gender is... ambiguous, yet very clear. Although she’s intersex, she is female— but transmigrates as male. I’ll alternate between “she” and “he”: “she” for the MC herself, and “he” for the identities she possesses. Don’t worry, I’ll try my best not to leave you too confounded. ENJOY! And do demand more! As an author, it's my ultimate pleasure to please yah!

Jabir Bin Hayyan

Born in 721 CE to an Arab apothecary executed for aiding the Abbasid rebellion, young Jabir ibn Hayyan inherits his father’s revolutionary spirit and scientific curiosity. After fleeing Umayyad soldiers with his mother, he finds refuge in Yemen under astronomer-alchemist Harbi al-Himyari. There, Jabir masters celestial navigation and Greek philosophy, but his defining moment comes when he distills seawater into purity using a clay alembic – awakening his lifelong obsession with transformation. Witnessing mercury-poisoned miners, however, forces a moral reckoning: "Knowledge must serve life, not death." At nineteen, bearing encrypted formulas from his father, Jabir seeks Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq in Medina. Surviving the Imam’s philosophical trials, he becomes his star pupil. Under Ja’far’s guidance, Jabir synthesizes nitric acid ("water that bites stone") and learns to frame experimentation as spiritual devotion. He meets Fatima, a fierce scholar challenging gender barriers, who becomes his intellectual partner. When political pressure mounts, they establish a secret laboratory in Jabir’s ruined childhood home in Kufa. Here, Jabir pioneers systematic chemistry – distilling rose attar, documenting reactions, and encrypting truths in symbolic texts. "Truth corrodes unprepared minds," he warns as orthodox scholars brand him a heretic. His innovations attract the powerful Barmakid family. Summoned to Baghdad’s glittering court in 775 CE, Vizier Ja’far al-Barmaki demands gold transmutation. Jabir stuns nobles by producing ammonium chloride from hair but refuses military applications. "Knowledge must feed the hungry, not kill them," he declares, instead developing steel plows and canal sealants that save thousands from floods. Patronage proves perilous: spies steal his waterproofing formula, and Fatima must run a hidden women’s lab. When the Barmakids fall in 803 CE, soldiers torch Jabir’s workshop. He escapes with core manuscripts, including his evolving *Kitab al-Sab’een* (*Book of Seventy*), framing chemistry as cosmic balance: "As mercury unites metals, knowledge unites soul and cosmos." Exiled and arthritic in Raqqa, Jabir works in a dye shop cellar, refining hydrochloric acid while evading spies. He mentors young apprentice Abu Musa, stressing ethics over ambition: "Record every failure – they light the path." Testing arsenic antidotes on himself, he nearly dies but proves their efficacy. As Abbasid enforcers close in, he buries manuscripts in Qum desert jars. Now aging and grieving Fatima’s slow poisoning from mercury exposure, he returns to Kufa. In a final laboratory beneath an indigo shop, he completes his life’s work – quantifying elemental interactions via the *mizan* (balance) system. Surrounded by a mob demanding gold, he whispers his last truth to Abu Musa: "The true elixir is knowledge multiplied through time." Jabir dies in 815 CE, but his legacy ignites a chain reaction. His students smuggle 500+ treatises to Baghdad’s House of Wisdom. By the 12th century, Latin scribes in Toledo translate his works as "Geber," inspiring medieval alchemists. Roger Bacon studies his *Summa Perfectionis*; Newton annotates his texts. Modern spectroscopy confirms his elemental theories, sustainable chemists revive his techniques, and AI reconstructs his charred manuscripts. From the mercury-stained laboratories of 8th-century Kufa to the quantum equations of today, Jabir’s encrypted wisdom endures: the noblest transmutation is not lead into gold, but curiosity into enduring light.

The Just Caliph (Hazrat Umar Bin Abdul Aziz)

Umar bin Abdul Aziz, born into the wealth and privilege of the Umayyad dynasty, seemed destined for a life of comfort and power. Yet, his heart was drawn toward faith, justice, and the principles of Islam. Raised in Medina under the influence of great scholars, his early years instilled in him a love for knowledge, simplicity, and fairness—values that would later define his rule. As a young man, he was appointed governor of Medina, where he displayed a keen sense of justice, curbing corruption and promoting the welfare of the people. However, his commitment to righteousness earned him powerful enemies within his own family. His life took an unexpected turn when Caliph Suleiman bin Abdul Malik, on his deathbed, named Umar as his successor. Shocked and reluctant, Umar accepted the responsibility, but only with the firm intention of returning the empire to the principles of the Rightly Guided Caliphs. From the moment he took office, he abandoned the luxuries of the Umayyad court, choosing instead to live humbly, renouncing wealth, and ruling with unmatched integrity. His first acts as Caliph were sweeping reforms that reshaped the empire. He dismissed corrupt governors, redistributed wealth to the poor, and established strict accountability for all officials, including members of his own family. His justice was impartial, his leadership unyielding, and his faith unshakable. Unlike his predecessors, he refused to expand the empire through conquest, believing instead in strengthening the moral and economic foundations of the state. He emphasized education, welfare, and the fair treatment of non-Muslims, earning the respect of both Muslims and non-Muslims alike. But his radical transformation of the empire did not go unchallenged. The Umayyad elite, enraged by the loss of their privileges, conspired against him. They saw his governance as a threat to their wealth and influence, and many sought to remove him by any means necessary. Despite opposition, Umar remained steadfast, choosing the harder path of righteousness over personal safety. His reforms continued, and the empire flourished under his rule. Poverty declined, justice prevailed, and the people—long oppressed—finally saw a ruler who truly embodied Islamic values. However, the relentless opposition of his enemies soon took a darker turn. Rumors of poisoning swirled around the court, and his health began to deteriorate rapidly. Aware of the plot against him, Umar met his fate with calm resignation, placing his trust in Allah. In his final moments, he gathered his family and advisors, urging them to uphold justice and continue the path of righteousness. With his last breath, he left behind a legacy that would forever be remembered. Umar bin Abdul Aziz's death marked the beginning of the decline of his reforms. The Umayyad dynasty soon reverted to its old ways, undoing much of his work. However, his brief but impactful reign left an indelible mark on Islamic history. He became known as the "Fifth Rightly Guided Caliph," a leader whose justice and piety rivaled those of the greatest rulers in history. His letters, policies, and legacy continued to inspire generations, serving as a model for just governance and Islamic leadership. This novel is more than just a biography—it is a deeply human story of a man who rose above the trappings of power, choosing faith over fortune, justice over oppression, and sacrifice over comfort. His journey from a privileged prince to a humble yet powerful caliph is a testament to the transformative power of faith and integrity. In an age where power often corrupts, Umar bin Abdul Aziz stands as a beacon of what true leadership should be. Through political intrigue, personal sacrifice, and the timeless struggle between corruption and justice, "Umar bin Abdul Aziz – The Just Caliph" brings to life the story of one of the greatest rulers in Islamic history.

Puppets of Faith: Theory of Communal Strife

The sublimity of Muhammad's preaching in Mecca and the severity of his sermons in Medina make Islam a Janus-faced faith that forever bedevils the mind of the Musalmans. This thought-provoking work, besides dissecting the anatomy of Islam, steeped in the Quran, seeks to depict the psyche of the Musalmans, shaped by the proclivities of their prophet, vicissitudes of his life and the attitudes of his detractors, which the mechanism of their umma perpetuates. More to the point, aided by “I’m Ok – You’re Ok”, the path-breaking work of Thomas A. Harris and Roland E Miller’s “Muslim Friends–Their Faith and Feeling”, this book, for the first time ever, psycho-analyzes the imperatives of the Muslim upbringing, which has the potential to turn a faithful and a renegade alike into a fidayeen. Also, apart from delving into the ironies of the faiths that affected the fate of the peoples, eclipsed the cultures of communes, altered the course of history and afflict the politics of the day, this book examines how the sanãtana 'Hindu' dharma came to survive in India, in spite of the combined onslaught of Islam and the Christianity on Hinduism for over a millennium. This book is for those who wish to be aware of the follies of their faith and the foibles of others to lighten the burden of dogma and reduce the baggage of prejudice postulated in its thirty-four well-structured chapters. Also, besides providing a panoramic view of the Indian history, this thought-provoking book appraises the way Gandhi, Nehru, Patel, Azad, Ambedkar, Indira Gandhi, Narasimha Rao, Vajpayee, Manmohan Singh, Sonia Gandhi, Narendra Modi et al made or unmade the post-colonial India. Possibly in a new genre, this free ebook is a book for our times.
