They didn't fall in love. They were led there - by the One who holds all hearts.
He believed marriage was half his deen.
She believed love should never be forced.
Ayan Malik, a Pakistani businessman rooted in Istanbul, walks through life with calm conviction and trust in Allah. For him, love doesn't need chasing - it arrives with barakah, in its own time. When his mother arrange his marriage to a woman he's never met, he doesn't question Allah's plan.
Dr. Elif Kaya, a driven Turkish neurosurgeon, agrees to the marriage out of duty - not desire. Still carrying the scars of a shattered past and distant from the faith she once held close, she sees their union as a formality - temporary, transactional, and nothing more.
But Ayan's quiet strength, his unwavering belief, and his gentle way of bringing Allah into every heartbeat of his life begin to stir something within her.
In a house filled with silence and unfamiliar prayers, love begins to grow - slowly, gently, and with purpose. Not the reckless kind, but the kind rooted in tawakkul, blooming between tahajjud and whispered du'as.
This is not a story of falling in love.
This is a story of growing into love - and finding Allah on the way.
