Chapter 1 (THE PROPOSAL)

Asad is an American Muslim who travels to Iraq as he tours the Middle East. While taking a taxi to a hotel, Asad saves a woman who was about to jump off a bridge. Not long, a Sheik claiming to be her Wali (guardian) quickly whisk her away. Feeling obligated to check on the well being of the distressed woman, Asad decides to track her down. After successfully locating the Sheik, Asad discovers the so called religious leader has been prostituting women, through Muk'tah marriages (temporary marriage).
