Q: What gave me the idea/ what inspired me to write The Billionaire and The Niqabi?
I am a very curious person, so one day I was watching this TV show where the guy had a troubled past and struggled in his love life so this books idea hit me and then I was going through the papers and saw the niqabi articles and I was so sick of these people thinking about it... so I decided to put the billionaire and the niqabi together as one hoping to make a difference.

Q: How do I make my characters?
Well, I evaluate them according to my imagination, and as from my books it's clear that I LOVE billionaires so yeah... and as for girls, it depends on my mood..

Q: Why did I write this book?
I wrote it because I wanted to somehow make a difference in how people think about the niqabi's and all and I also wrote it to escape my world... books tend to make me forget my miseries... ☺

Q: Why a Niqabi with a billionaire?
Well, I am not sure, I just wanted to make one simple point go across the world, niqabi's are not oppressed and I guess I did.... and then again, I also wanna be a niqabi

Q: How did you come up With the idea of Ruqayyah's past?
I had seen many people around me, who have very good and nice wives, yet they tend to leave them, not divorce them, just merely leave them and go for another woman. It sickens me to see such things happening around me and yet I could not make a difference. So I put out Ruqayyah's past, to show my readers, how some peoples lives can be.

Q: How did you evaluate Ruqayyah's character?
I wanted her to be a strong woman but as the story proceeded, I realized that Ruqayyah was strong, a lot stronger than any other woman I knew or wrote about so I gave her a past, a miserable past to show how she became a mature woman from the naive woman she used to be.

Q: Why did you evaluate her character in such a way?
Simple... to show how strong a woman can be, no matter what! And the fact that woman was not just for giving heirs or babies but being independent as well

Q: What about Iqraam's father? Why did he leave?
That's in book II.

Q: why did you make Ibrahim family meet and become one?
I wanted them to be happy so I made them one, I knew Iqraam and Iqra deserve much more than just that

Q: Will you be continuing Book 2 now?
Umm that... no... book 2 is due, in sha Allah, coming December, because i have major exams this year which will either make my career or break it, I want to make my career though!

Q: When will Ruqayyah get pregnant?
As it was said in one of the last chapters, Ruqram are not planning a child anytime soon as Zahi is still small and so is Zaik but maybe in Book 2- no promises though!!
