Dear Editor,
I have been reading Us magazine for about two years now. Actually, the credit for this goes to the pandemic; it forced me to keep myself entertained by playing board games and reading books. A cousin lent a couple of issues of Us to me, and started reading it. I have one suggestion: devote one page to comics. The comics that are published look cramped and are difficult to read. In fact, I go online to see pictures and read comics.

Hey Ed,
I am loving ‘The Eid Engagement and Other Weddings’ by Iqra Asad. It has started growing on me. Initially, I was not that impressed but after the third episode, I was hooked. The story is now becoming more and interesting and intriguing. Iqra has a way with words, and I wish her great success.

Dear Editor,
I love Iqra Asad’s stories. ‘The Eid Engagement and Other Weddings’, however, feels a bit slow-paced. It takes everything for me to patiently wait for the next episode. I hope we get to see more action in the upcoming episodes than Hina’s phone calls to her girlfriends.

Reflection
Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah (R.A):
My father died and was in debt. I suggested that his creditors take the fruits (i.e. dates) of my garden in lieu of the debt of my father, but they refused the offer, as they thought that it would not cover the full debt. So, I went to the Prophet (S.A.W) and told him about it. He said (to me), “When you pluck the dates and collect them in the Mirbad (i.e. a place where dates are dried), call me (Allah’s Apostle).” Finally he came accompanied by Abu Bakr (R.A) and ‘Umar (R.A) and sat on the dates and invoked Allah to bless them. Then he said, “Call your creditors and give them their full rights.” So, I paid all my father’s creditors in full and yet thirteen extra Wasqs of dates remained, seven of which were ‘Ajwa and six were Laun or six of which were Ajwa and seven were Laun. I met Allah’s Apostle at sunset and informed him about it. On that he smiled and said, “Go to Abu Bakr and ‘Umar and tell them about it.” They said, “We perceived that was going to happen, as Allah’s Apostle did what he did.”
