﷽In the name of Allah ,the most gracious, the most merciful.
As Salamu alaykum! (peace be upon you)
I want to welcome all of you. Thank you so much if you have decided to give this story a chance. Alhamdulillah, Allah has willed it.
Before we proceed there are few things I want to say.
It took me a while to convince myself to publish this book on wattpad. In the past I have started to write and then I have stopped. A lot of times it's because of insecurity and the other times it's simply me questioning my intentions.
Why do I want to write a book? What message do I want to leave behind?
It's been few years now since I actually started practicing Islam as it ought to be practiced and there's been a change of heart.
A lot of reflections. A lot of realisations. Alhamdulillah.
Though, I still falter and I guess that's a natural thing. Because we are imperfect and that itself is Allah's perfection.
I love writing. I published some of my works here on Wattpad. But then unpublished it because I didn't feel satisfied.
If you don't have a purpose and right intention, things become heavy for your heart. You become restless.
Whatever we do, is written down on the books by the angels. Even if it's writing a story. And so, keeping yourself in check is very important.
Alhamdulilah, after a long break, I am here with a new story.
This isn't my first story but it's certainly a story with purpose. In Sha Allah.
Another reason why I have been hesitant is because I have commitment issues.
I told myself I'd publish this once I finish it. But I don't know when I am going to finish it.
Not to mention I have been too insecure for a long time now. Reading up other stories and thinking it has to be this way. It has to be that way. Last month I attended an online workshop by sister Naima B. Roberts and it was there where I realised I should stop thinking and just do it.
If I am able to impact one person, that's all I need. Perhaps someone out there needs this message.
We are not everyone's cup of tea and we shouldn't try to be one either.
