So does the spending of money. Even laughter has its special flavor. All these flavors share a similar pleasure, but the pleasure of true faith (Iman) is different from all the rest in this world.

This is our goal- To taste the sweet beauty of Iman and all that is in it. And we start with the sweetness of Salah- How to taste the true beauty of Salah!

"Nothing in this world In sha Allah have the power to snatch you away from me Hayati! And as far as separation goes, I won't allow that either in sha Allah! I will cross thousands of deserts on my bare feet to bring you back on my side where you now belong! You are mine Rubdha! My wife, my beloved, my life and I promise you that anyone that tries to separate us will face something they never thought they will! I love you!" He said intensely and she gasped as his emotions swirling in his eyes pulled her in. She was drowning in his eyes, in his love and in him and she didn't want to be saved. She blushed. He drew her in and kissed her forehead, stamping her. She smiled in contentment and sighed in peace. She was home and she didn't want to leave ever. "I love you too..." She whispered teary eyed to him. He grinned boyishly before turning them around. Rubdha has lived a dark past. Now it's to let go. Will she find her happily ever after, while she fall in love with her Rabb zuljalalah and his Ibadah?

Jenna Yousuf has everything all girls envy. A mansion, fancy cars, diamonds and jewels, closets filled with clothes, shoes and purses. A hot husband. But she isn't happy. Who could be when you were forced to marry a man you don't love just to save your family? She doesn't want to give him a chance, nor does she want to try to begin a life with him. But what does she do when he turns out to be the sweetest man she has ever met? Can she keep him at bay, or will she cave, and accept it when she starts to have feelings for her husband? Hudayfah Sulayman has to protect his wife from the evil people who are out to get her brother. While he only married her for that reason, he didnt anticipate one thing; that he would fall in love with her. So much so that he would do anything to make her happy, except for what she really wants; to be let out of their marriage. He knows Jenna doesn't love him now, but should he hold out hope that one day she will?
