Rihazudin Razik
Author of If You Hug Me, I Will Fall
A memoir of resilience, recovery, and the quiet strength behind endurance.
Mohamed Rihazudin Razik, known publicly as Rihazudin, is a Sri Lankan author whose life has been shaped by years of complex medical challenges, multiple surgeries, and long recovery. Out of that lived experience emerged a memoir that does not seek sympathy, but meaning: If You Hug Me, I Will Fall.
This book is not a performance of survival. It is a testimony of patience, dignity, and the unseen work of standing back up.
