This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. In the bustling ports of the ancient East, Zayd ibn Musa is known for his unmatched skill and his paralyzing anxiety. His small dhow, Al-Barakah, is his last hope for survival against the oppressive monopoly of the great merchant Bahlul. Forced onto the treacherous Deep Route—a sea of uncharted shallows and violent squalls—Zayd’s preparations are stripped away, forcing him to confront his deepest fear: the loss of control.
From a miraculous escape from the Sea of Shallows to weathering a devastating squall, Zayd’s voyage becomes a sequence of physical and moral tests. His ultimate challenge is Layla, a young fugitive carrying explosive evidence against Bahlul, offering Zayd instant, but morally corrupted, wealth.
Listen to this epic journey of self-discovery where the power of human effort (Asbab) meets the serenity of divine reliance (Tawakkul). Discover what Zayd finds in the wreckage of his ship: a certainty (Yaqeen) that provision comes not from the ledger, but from the purity of the heart.
