Salaam! My name’s Jawaad and I write funny short stories with a Muslim voice.

I'm the author of "No Old Ladies in Jannah: Short Stories" which was written with the support of this very community. You can check it out here:

This page lets me publish my writings to a special circle of supporters, as I publish multiple stories each month (and my patrons have helped me launch my first book!)

My stories feature characters and premises that are kind of inside jokes for Muslims (especially those who grew up in a not-Muslim country). From a professional Quran translation reader (the world’s best) to a murder mystery that’s really about who broke their wudhu…you’ll get a mix of what I lovingly call humorous Muslim-y stories. I publish 3 stories a month, of varying lengths:

Venti - “longer” (1500+ words)
Grande - medium (500+ words)
Tall tale - super short (at least 1 word)

If you can’t tell by my vocabulary, I’ve often written in Starbucks and would appreciate if you could cover my next cup of coffee ;) You can join at the tiers listed, with each one I try to include some extra goodies for you:

$3/mo - The 3 Story Club - get access to my writing each month.
$7/mo - Hear Me Read! - get access to an audio version of 1 of my stories each month, narrated by me!
$15/mo - Behind The Scenes - get access to exclusive videos, including commentary and discussions behind the stories
$40/mo - You’re Family - Get a personalized welcome video & my undying thanks
$100/mo - You Keep Me Writing - your contribution is immortalized in the acknowledgments of my published book(s)

At whatever level you’re able to support, I’m extremely grateful and genuinely hope you enjoy the stories and my writing. Your support and belief in me means more than I can communicate in words (and that’s my whole thing!), thank you thank you thank you. When you click “Become A Patron”, what happens is...
