In writing Barzakh: A Silent War Zone, I have poured my heart into portraying the painful and often unheard stories of those trapped in the tumultuous conflict that shaped Swat during the era when Radio Mullah Fazlullah held control over the region. Through the experiences of my characters, I wanted to reflect not only the brutality of war but also the strength and resilience of the human spirit amidst unimaginable circumstances.
The word Barzakh carries profound meaning both literally and metaphorically in this novel. Literally, Barzakh refers to the Islamic concept of an intermediary state between life and the afterlife—an existence suspended between two realms. As I explored the lives of my characters, I found this concept resonating deeply with their own state of being: neither fully alive in the peaceful world they once knew, nor fully submerged in the violent world they are forced to navigate. They live in a constant state of limbo, waiting for an end, or for change, or for something to break the silence.
Metaphorically, Barzakh represents the silence that dominates a war zone. It’s not just the physical absence of noise, but the emotional and psychological silence that war imposes on the souls of those it touches. It is the silence of fear, of unspoken pain, of lives turned upside down yet unable to voice their suffering. In this silence, my characters face battles that are not just fought with weapons but with their own minds, their beliefs, and their longing for peace.
This novel is dedicated to the innocent people of Swat, Ningolai, and all the regions affected by the war. It is for the men, women, and children who have been caught in the crossfire, who have lost everything yet still hold on to hope. Through their stories, I hope to honor their resilience and remind the world that the cost of war is not only in lives lost but in the silence that it enforces upon those who survive.
Barzakh is a call to remember the forgotten, to listen to the stories of those whose voices have been drowned out by the noise of violence. It is my hope that this novel will serve as a reminder to never forget the innocent victims of war, whose lives continue in a state of silence that we must learn to hear.

After reading Barzakh, I see war’s human cost in a whole new light. The author gives voice to the voiceless in Swat and Ningorai with such raw emotion and truth. It’s not an easy read, but it’s an important one that changed my perspective forever.

This book truly broke me. Barzakh captures the raw, real pain that the people of Swat—especially those in places like Ningolai—endured during the dark days of Fazlullah’s control. It’s not just a story about war; it’s about the silence, the fear, and the quiet strength of the innocent men, women, and children who somehow kept going. Deeply powerful and unforgettable.

Very gripping and engaging, it truly showcases the essence of the Swat people who suffered at the hands of those uninvited faction who later controlled the entire vicinity. Good job
