Prohibition of Reading Someone Else’s Writing or Letters - And How It Relates to Today’s Digital Resources Introduction Among the refined etiquettes taught in Islam is respect for others' privacy. This includes refraining from reading another person’s writings, letters, or personal notes without their permission. Scholars have discussed this issue extensively, drawing evidence from hadith, the practice of the Salaf, and juristic principles. Foundational Evidence from the Hadith The foundation for this etiquette is based on the narration attributed to the Prophet ﷺ: “Whoever looks into his brother’s writing without his permission is as though he is looking into Hellfire.” This narration has been reported from Ibn ʿAbbās (رضي الله عنهما) through various chains. However, scholars of hadith have classified it as weak (ḍaʿīf). Abu Dawud stated that all its routes are weak, Abu Hatim described it as munkar, and Ibn Hajar and al-Albani also declared its chain weak. Despite its weaknesses,...
Storytelling is as old as humanity itself. Long before we had smartphones and high-speed internet, we gathered around campfires to share tales of mystery, danger, and triumph. Today, we’re bringing that ancient tradition into the digital age with a modern twist! You’ve just received a mysterious letter with a map tucked inside. Does it lead to unimaginable wealth or a clever trap? In "The Lost Treasure Hunt," you are no longer just a reader—you are the protagonist. Every decision you make will ripple through the narrative, leading you toward glory or back to the very beginning.
Why You’ll Love This Interactive Adventure What makes this treasure hunt so captivating is the power of choice. Unlike a traditional book where the ending is set in stone, this interactive story branches out based on your unique intuition. Do you trust the map immediately, or do you take the time to decipher the hidden codes? Will you stick to the well-trodden forest path or venture into an abandoned cabin? You’ll love the nostalgia of "choose your own adventure" style storytelling combined with the thrill of discovering hidden secrets. It’s a perfect mental escape that proves a powerful life lesson: our choices shape our destiny. With multiple paths and clues to uncover, the question isn't just if you'll find the treasure, but how you'll get there!
Storytelling is one of the most ancient arts in the world. We have been telling stories since we lived in the caves. We would gather around the fire at night to share our experiences and stories. We still enjoy this pastime but with our new technologies and gadgets. The stories used to be simple and followed the 3-Act structure, i.e., beginning, middle, and end. However, people have tried other narrative structures.
I used to read children's magazines and in one of the magazines I found this amazing structure that you can call interactive story-telling. The story was divided into snippets and give two options to select another snippet. Different snippets would lead to different narratives and ultimately different endings. As I reminisce about that story, I created a similar here. It is a simple story but has different endings based on the snippet you chose.
This gives another powerful lesson that just like in this interactive story, in real life our choices ultimately lead to different endings. If we change our choices we can change the ending! So here it goes:
