Hi everyone...have three sentences from a new story called 'Bukhara'
If ever Allah’s eternal splendor favored his servant’s lands, none compared to the luster of the Khwarezmian Empire, and its Shah Ala al-din Muhammad, bethroned in the prophet’s name, Allah’s will upon the earth. To the blade he culled infidel tribes, his empire stretching the silk road from Tabriz to the city of Samarkand, abundant in wealth like sand, sacred in gold-embroidered verses. Whomsoever had coveted his land’s end had suffered the wrath of a thousand daggers.
