She whirls around like a breath of fresh air
Spreading smiles to all those around!

She is witty and also commanding - a combo
That's very rare to be found.


She has a sunny temperament
And sports a smile all day long.

She trudges on in life with extreme effort
And the belief that she is quite strong.


People look at her smile and see a common girl.
They overlook the desolateness in her eyes.

While each day she wars a battle within
And comforts herself by weaving a web of lies.


There is always an endless abyss inside her,
A hollowness which claws her heart out.

She yearns for a companion to lean on,
Someone to support her in times of drought!


Sadly, life has absolutely naught to offer
So she wipes her tears and gulps her sorrows away.

She gets up, dusts her back, prepares herself
To solely face another day.


You couldn't bully reality
And it would most definitely not comply.

It's upto you to understand that there is more to things
Than what just meets your eye!


Be careful not to get carried away
By the fake smile she most often wears.

In reality, the sunny glow of her smile
Only reflects the depth of her inner scars!

Follow the journey of Ibrahim and Zahra as they forego their inhibitions, insecurities and finally, fall in love!

"Listen to me Qurratul Ayn, before you go, I want to know; did I ever offend you? Is my love for you too little?" I can feel his hand hovering over mine. He wants to hold it, but he knows better than to do that. "Please, I don't want to do this now. My flight is in thirty minutes." I can feel the tears wetting my Niqab. "No! I want to know. Where did I go wrong? Was it money? I didn't feed you well? I didn't clothe you? My love wasn't enough for you? I need to know, all those years! You're seriously willing to throw them away like they were nothing?" A sob breaks out but I manage to hide it behind a cough. I take a silent deep breath and turn, my Niqab swaying and making a whip sound. "It's not like, they really were nothing! Look, I don't have it in me to explain myself. You said you'd give me whatever I want? Then leave me be. I never loved you okay! I never did, it was all a sham, a facade!" His hand that was looming over mine falls limp beside him and he staggers back. "You're lying." He laughs. It's as if he's trying to convince himself. I scoff. "You think so? Well take a look at this." His eyes fill with tears and he takes one of his hands and place it on his mouth. He can't believe that it's actually true. "Okay, Fa'iza." My heart breaks. He never calls me that, ever. "I know something is wrong, and wallahi I'm going to find it out and bring you back to my house in six months. I promise." I feel my heart squeeze knowing his promise can never come to pass, ever. Death is nearing me so nothing can be done. Absolutely nothing. * Ten years of loving, doting over each other and marriage, Fa'iza upped and suddenly said she wanted out of the marriage. After months of persuasion and blackmail, Bello let her go, but before she left, he made a promise. Would he be able to fulfill this promise? STARTED: COMPLETED:

Zahra and Hamza. Hamza and Zahra. It was no simple task for their names to be heard side by side. For their story was a complicated one. A sorrowful one. One that was full of longing. ZAHRA is haunted by the demons of her past, and the what-ifs of the future. A seventeen year old girl tasked with caring for her family when her mother leaves; she has to juggle her responsibilities towards her family; her studies; and, her deen. Crying every night on the prayer mat seems to be the norm for Zahra now. She's drowning, and no one can see it. To fall in love would be impossible for a person in her position, but that's ok since she seemed to loathe the concept anyway. More than hate...she feared love. HAMZA is complicated. After moving back to his old home town, he is faced with the one who he could never forget. And how could he? Her crying face is permanently etched in his mind, she plagues his dreams and thoughts, and constant what-ifs are on the tip of his tongue. What if he did something differently, and maybe his and her life could have gone a lot differently. When they both come face to face with each other, emotions are at an all-time high, memories are bound to resurface, and the past they both desperately tried to bury may be coming up to the surface. Now, they both must make a choice. To bury or be buried. Add in confusing family members, mysterious new guys, shocking secrets and crazy plot twists, cute friendships, and heart wrenching moments. A girl on deen, a boy on deen, and a world desperate to keep them apart. But, my dear reader, these are souls that were written to be together. Everything that happens is with the qadr (will) of Allah. Nothing, and no one could stop what He has planned for Zahra and Hamza. WARNING: this story is not for the faint-hearted...you may cry. MAIN CHARACTERS ARE MUSLIM AND PAKISTANI

✨ #1 in halallovestory on 10/30/2020 - 11/17/2020 ✨ "Were you ever, going to tell me about it? How can we be the same after all that's happened?" His shoulders relaxed and his features softened. He came towards me, his warm hands cupping my cheeks. It felt like years since I felt his warm hands on me, making me melt to his touch. "Why? Why didn't you tell me? Why did you hide things from me all this time? Wasn't I enough for you? Wasn't my love enough?" I stood there with my head low, not able to meet his eyes anymore as my eyes pooled with fresh tears. He moved back withdrawing his hands and stuffing them in his pockets and sighed. "It's done Momina. It's all over now." He said in a dead voice. I looked back at him, tears rolling down my face. I opened my mouth to speak, to defend myself and my actions, but his unnerving gaze had me shut up. With this, he turned around and left, not bothering to shut the door behind him.
