Plot of Saimum Series

Ahmad Musa is the protagonist of Saimum Series. We come to know about his past in the first book of the series. He once had a family. He used to live with them in Sinkiang, a state of China. As they were Muslims, they were attacked by China Military. Many people died in there and many fled out of Sinkiang. But most of them, including his parents and his brother, were killed on the way. At first, they decided to cross the border of China and go to Tibet. But they found that the Tibetan border is sealed, therefore they decided to go to Afghanistan, crossing Himalayas. When they crossed the ice-covered Himalayas, only 850 persons of them were alive among the whole fifty-thousand people.
Then we are introduced to his new identity; he is the most discussed person and the headache of the imperialistic power, the central gem of Saimum. Saimum is an organization working for oppressed people and against the imperialistic power. Ahmad Musa is also a preacher of Islam, the religion of peace. He believes in his Creator Allah and always does his best to fulfil the responsibility that Allah has given him. Most of the times he risks his life in order to carry out this immense duty.

There, he also brought to an end the misery of the Muslim peoples who were oppressed and were persecuted by the Spanish Christians. There, the Muslims were called as Morisco, and were treated by the Christians inhumanly.
  • He went to France to stop the historical Muslim structures from being destroyed.
  • He fought against a terrorist group called 'Black Cross'.

  • He stopped the conspiracy of wiping out Muslims from Suriname, a country of South America.
  • He went to Andaman, a small island of India to save Muslims from being wiped out. Besides, he also rescued the Mughal Prince Ahmad Shah Alamgir, who was getting tormented by the Hindus.

He had been to Suriname, Pattani, Thailand, Armenia, Germany, Polynesian Islands to retrieve and rescue the oppressed people. He is still working for them.
Ahmad Musa was first engaged to Fatima Farhana, an Uzbek girl. But unfortunately he was kidnapped a night before their wedding, and Farhana was woefully murdered by his kidnappers. A few months later, he got married to Maily Guly, who had been an actress of Central-Asia. She was from a Muslim Uyghur background; her name was originally Amina Guly. She returned to her faith when she met Ahmad Musa. After their marriage, the same day, Ahmad Musa went on to another mission. Ahmad Musa learned about his wife, Amina, is missing or she had been abducted. He fulfilled his mission in Spain and finally met Amina in his captured condition. The intention of the enemies was to kill Ahmad Musa. Amina was martyred saving Ahmad Musa. Later he was married to Maria Josephine, a princess of the prominent Bourbon family, who is also an heir to the French Louise Family. Maria converted to Islam after getting mesmerized by the essence of this religion. They had a son named Ahmad Abdullah. Maria Josephine and Ahmad Abdullah were about to be kidnapped in America, but the FBI averted the kidnappers' plans from being successful. Before leaving the USA, Ahmad Musa had to marry another woman, named Sara Jefferson. She was a descendant of Thomas Jefferson, a Founding Father of the USA. She had also converted to Islam by getting engrossed in it. Sara unconsciously fell in love with Ahmad Musa when he was doing a mission in America. She also significantly helped Ahmad Musa during his mission in Turkey. When the alliance of Ahmad and Sara arose, Ahmad Musa at first hesitated to marry her. But later, when Maria Josephine expressed her disappointments for not doing any justice to Sara Jefferson and made it coherent to him that Islam allows a second marriage with certain conditions, Ahmad Musa agreed and wedded her. Subsequently, Ahmad Musa travelled to Armenia to aid innocent people.
