Welcome to Litsy!

Meri Zaat Zarra-e-BeNishan is one of the stories which helped Umera Ahmed cement her reputation as an emerging writer with bright future. When Saba is accussed of zina, she is counting on her husband to protect and believe her. But when her mother in law lies in the name of Quran and takes a false oath on Quran, Saba is stunned into silence. The only thing she had ever believed in was being used against her, to shame her, to force her husband to divorce her. And when he finally does, Saba surrenders her will to God. It is a story about one woman's complete faith in what Allah has chosen for her, and her total acceptance of it. In this story we see how one person can exceed every boundary to get back at someone they hate. Amma's hatred of Saba ruins many lives, including her own son's happiness and her own conscious.
