Abu Musa narrated: "The Prophet (SAW) said: "A faithful believer to a faithful believer is like the bricks of a wall, enforcing each other." While (saying that) the Prophet( SAW) clasped his hands, by interlacing his fingers." (Sahih Al-Bukhari) I have started a journey with the Qur'an. It is a faithful companion, knows what I need to hear and presents it in a linguistic beauty absolutely irreplaceable by any. After all, its Author is Al-Lateef, The Subtle. I have struggled and understood, marveled and been intimidated-everything about this book is beauty personified; and now I want to share it with you! Presenting Qur'anic reflections, let's fall in love together!

| Previously Featured | | Book One of the Moon Chronicles | "To hear, one must be silent." The Power of the tongue and intelligence of a human being is what makes them different from God's other creations. It is what makes them powerful, it is what makes the human being rule every other creation. But they forget to listen and that is what will lead them to their doom ------------------------ Ayah Beizeen is a sixteen-year-old village girl with a peaceful and content life. She has loving parents, a supportive elder brother and an adorable younger brother. But she is different: Ayah was born mute. She didn't cry when she was delivered and hasn't uttered a word ever since. Sometimes, she wishes she could - she was envious of everyone who could convey their emotions through words, for she has no other option but to keep them bottled up inside her. However, Ayah Beizeen has a special friend from the age of five, when she was found on her terrace staring at the Moon. She talks to the Moon and it listens. Talking to the Moon is the only way, Ayah knows, to share her feelings. One night, the Moon comes with strange tidings - it says that everything that she knew about her life is going to change. She has somehow stumbled upon a strange path and the destination is uncertain. It all depends on the choices she makes. A tale of love, heartbreak, dreams, failures but above all - redemption. Follow Ayah's journey as she surpasses all odds. Is she the 'living miracle' that the Voice of the Moon claims her to be? [ Highest rank - #4 ] [ Cover by - @MayTijssen ] [ Unedited - First draft ]

i love the challenge of form poetry, especially the invented poetry types. it excites me to see what my words do to a form and vice versa. i love my personal stamp on it, because there it is, no matter what, one's very own distinct voice. i have wanted these in a separate collection for a long time and here it is.

This is a book of poem which contains poems with different thoughts in various forms.I hope you enjoy reading. THANKS A LOT for this beautiful cover Dev :) @m_the_sparkle © Lakshya Khare All Rights Reserved.

Everyone knows the rules of growing up. Once you're eighteen things become clearer, childhood problems melt away, and you're ready to go out and conquer the world. You're now an adult. You can look your parents in the eye as equals. Officially, you're on your own, and now you'll only look back fondly at what you once were, an immature child still learning about life. Or so you'd think. Jake is a young adult who grew up with the support of his family, especially his mother, Elaine. Though he experienced some rough patches as a child and fitting in was a constant challenge, she's been there for him. But it's time for Jake to "grow up" and for him, that means no longer needing his family. It turns out that life without them is a far greater struggle than he ever imagined. Living independently is hard, but admitting it is even harder. Join this true story of conflict and heart-pounding moments, as both mother and son explore the concept of parenting as a lifelong commitment.

#13 as on 20/02/17 An anthology of poems. Eruption of the volcano containing the lava of my pent-up emotions. Splashes of it on a piece of paper. "The bottle containing the ink of thoughts is overflowing, I have no choice but to pen down those words glowing, Whether the reader is left to mope or exhilarate, At least,my desire to write,it will satiate..."

Dr. Farah Abed was intelligent. Top of her class since elementary school, she knew what success looked like first-hand and had reached every milestone in her life with gumption. People from the outside looking in, would compliment her on her success and tell he that she had a perfect life. They would tell her that she'd be a great mother and wife and would eventually find a perfect man in her life. Yet, Farah knew otherwise. When she looked in the mirror, she could see nothing but misery. Her mother pestered her with her hypocrisy, her community had begun to ostracize her. She felt as if she was on the outside of the "happy world" looking in and all because she was falling into a category of women that they found despicable, the unmarrieds.
