Islamic Fiction

Islamic Fiction can be defined as fiction “that is positively informed by Islamic beliefs and practices.” For example, any story that deals with Islamic themes would be considered Islamic Fiction. Likewise, Islamic Fiction would include any story that features a Muslim as its main character whose actions reflects Islamic values. (Adapted from Ahmed A. Khan, Another Mosque Among the Stars, 2011)

Islamic Fiction does not include harmful content: vulgar language, sexually explicit content, unIslamic practices that are not identified as unIslamic or content that portrays any aspect of Islam in a negative way. (Islamic Writers Alliance, “Defining Islamic Fiction”, 2006)
