When The Stars Shine Bright

"I think I will always want to aim for the stars; for they are always a guiding light. After all it is only in the darkest nights that the stars shine more brightly."

That is what Nazia Ali wrote in her high school yearbook as her life defining quote. She was what you would call an idealistic girl, with her head full of dreams, a beautiful soul and a determined spirit. She knew what she wanted and she worked hard to achieve her goals. Little did she know that life has its own way of determining its course; and no matter what plans we have made for ourselves, there is an Entity greater than all, Who has decided our fate for us.

"....And Allah is the best of planners." (Holy Quran 3:54)
