Inhaltsangabe

Love, Faith and Numbers reads as a novelette, made up of five short stories told from different points of view, which follow the love life of a Muslim woman named Zakia. Each story helps us learn about Zakia over the course of a few years in her life as she navigates the ups and downs of love using her faith and a curious obsession with numbers. The stories challenge the reader not to try and force a Western perspective on a Muslim relationship, but at the same time there is romance, humour and thought-provoking insights into Zakia's world view.

She considers herself to be a jack of all trades and has led a very interesting life, taking on a variety of roles including poet, educator, entrepreneur, rapper and speaker. She believes that sharing her writing with others is akin to sharing a part of her soul. Raihanaty has read her work during Perth Festival Writers Week, at The Wheeler Centre for the Digital Writers' Festival and has sat on the board for Centre for Stories. Raihanaty has facilitated poetry workshops at the Australian Islamic College for Propel Youth Arts WA.
