The House Of Islâm

By: Pickthall, Marmaduke

Many years had passed since that day-spring. Shems-ud-d n sat in his shop in the small bazaar, a great sorrow at his heart.

Alia, little Alia, whom he cherished as his own eyes, lay sick of a wasting illness none could name. Every homely charm and nostrum had been applied in vain.
