Tunku Abdul Rahman Hassanal Jefri

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.

Blood and Borders

In the blood-soaked shadow of Partition, two nations went to war—and never stopped fighting.** PART I: KASHMIR’S BLOODY DAWN (1947–1948) As the British Empire collapses, India and Pakistan are born in a frenzy of communal slaughter. Trains packed with massacred refugees crisscross Punjab, while in Lahore, **Jawaharlal Nehru** and **Muhammad Ali Jinnah** duel over Kashmir’s fate. When tribal raiders storm Srinagar, the Hindu Maharaja signs away his kingdom to India in exchange for salvation. But Pakistan strikes back—capturing Skardu Fort in a brutal siege and igniting the first war over the Himalayas. Amidst the chaos, a young Sikh farmer, **Kartar Singh**, loses his family to a Muslim mob and joins the Indian Army, vowing revenge. As the UN draws ceasefire lines, Kashmir lies divided, and the seeds of eternal hatred are sown. PART II: CLASH OF TITANS (1965) Eighteen years later, Pakistan launches *Operation Gibraltar*, infiltrating Kashmir to spark rebellion. When India retaliates, full-scale war erupts. In the skies, PAF legend **MM Alam** destroys five Indian jets in 30 seconds—an unmatched feat—while **Squadron Leader Sarfaraz Rafiqui** leads a suicidal raid on Halwara airbase. With guns jammed, Rafiqui stays airborne as a decoy so wingmen **Cecil Chaudhry** and **Younus Hussain** can escape, sacrificing himself to Indian flak. On the ground, **Major Raja Aziz Bhatti** defends Lahore’s BRB Canal for 120 hours without sleep, falling to a sniper’s bullet. As tanks burn at Chawinda and navies clash off Dwarka, both nations claim victory—but the Tashkent Agreement leaves Kashmir still bleeding. PART III: BIRTH OF BANGLADESH (1971) East Pakistan explodes in revolt. After Pakistan’s *Operation Searchlight* massacres Bengalis in Dhaka, India trains the *Mukti Bahini* guerrillas. At sea, Pakistan’s submarine *PNS Ghazi* mysteriously sinks on its own mines while hunting the INS Vikrant, and *PNS Hangor* avenges it by torpedoing the Indian frigate *INS Khukri*. In the skies, trainee pilot **Rashid Minhas** thwarts a hijack by Bengali defector Matiur Rahman, crashing his T-33 rather than let it reach India—earning Pakistan’s only air force Nishan-e-Haider. On the western front, 120 Indian soldiers hold off 3,000 Pakistanis at Longewala using jeep-mounted guns. When Dhaka falls, 93,000 Pakistani POWs surrender—humiliating a nation and birthing Bangladesh. PART IV: FROZEN CONFLICTS (1984–1999) In the icy hell of Siachen Glacier, India seizes the world’s highest battlefield by stealth. Soldiers freeze solid in their bunkers as Pakistan fuels insurgency in Kashmir. After Indira Gandhi is assassinated by her Sikh bodyguards and her son Rajiv falls to a Tamil bomb, nuclear tests in 1998 push the rivals to the brink. Then, in 1999, Pakistan infiltrates troops disguised as militants into Kargil’s peaks. **Captain Karnal Sher Khan**, the “Tiger of Tiger Hill,” decimates Indian assaults until an artillery shell tears him apart. **Lalak Jan**, a Pakistani soldier, fights alone for 24 hours with a machine gun, killing 12 Gurkhas before succumbing. When India storms Tiger Hill at point-blank range and the U.S. forces Pakistan’s retreat, soldiers are abandoned on the mountains—their bodies rotting in no-man’s-land. As General Musharraf seizes power in Islamabad, the war ends unresolved, leaving behind frozen graves and a question: *Will the next war go nuclear?*

Terror In Resonance

Prologue: The Cursed Star Descends The heavens split open the night Li Sheng was born. In the ancient Xuanming Dynasty, when the moon turned black and the rivers flowed backward, the astrologers trembled in terror. They spoke of a cursed star — a sign that an existence beyond mortal understanding would descend into the world. And so he did. Li Sheng came into the world bloodied and silent, his cries swallowed by the heavy air of his cursed birth. His eyes, a ghostly silver, glowed faintly even as a newborn. The villagers called him a demon. His mother died in childbirth. His father vanished a month later. Left to the mercy of a suspicious world, Li Sheng survived through an iron will — and something darker that whispered in his ear when no one else was near. By age fifteen, he was banished from Yinyue Village, exiled to the desolate Heiyin Peak — a place where even the most courageous cultivators dared not tread. There, amidst the ruins of an ancient sect and tombs of forgotten masters, something awakened within him. The System of Resonance. [Welcome, Resonant One.] [The Path of Ascendancy lies ahead. Slay or be slain. Conquer or be consumed.] The first quest was simple: > Slay: 1 Wraith of the Old Sect. Reward: Awaken Resonance Core. The horror began that night. The terror would never end. Li Sheng, once a cursed child, now stood at the threshold of an existence that would shake the very foundations of heaven and earth.
