This is a book about love, justice, and the highest goal possible – translating God’s will into real action on Earth. Written in 2014, this collection of poetry seeks to give strength and courage to people struggling. Old-fashioned but with a new kind of style, Khan-Jadoon’s measured use of language will leave you spellbound. The project is semiautobiographical, reflecting a year of recollections, conversations and experiences to produce a story of a young man who wished to put a stop to the evil in the world and indeed his heart.

The scope of Alive Aspiration mirrors the breadth of human ambition itself, analyzing even the selfishness that can inspire altruistic behavior.
