Goodreads asked Bilal Alaji:

How do you get inspired to write?

Bilal Alaji I received inspiratioin from reading books without genre discrimination. I was able to see that we all have a story to tell. What I experienced deserved to have a platform. I came to the realization that I need not suffer in silence because my very words could be the light that brings another out of the darkness.

"I also think that reading so much was what inspired me to write this book. It gave me the confidence to put my words onto paper and share valuable lessons I've learned. I pray I can one day be a mentor to someone who values my experiences."--- Alaji pg. 309

It was through my darkest days that I saw no hope. As I began to understand how to come out of the darkness it allowed me to look critically at my life. This transformation is where the thought for sharing my experiences took birth. If I was able to come out of the burning pits of hell then I knew others could do the same. It was this desire that inspired my writing.
