"If you give thanks I will increase you" Quran 14:7 
_________ 

One thing about life is certain, it is unpredictable. No one ever knows what events will unfold the next morning. No one knows what the next chapter has in store for them. But no matter what life has to offer, in it there is always a great blessing only if we look for it with an open mind. 


This is a story of a family who have been leading a fulfilling life. The Maliks lived a life full of fortune. An average person could only wish for such fortune for himself. But like everything else in life, the fortune proved to be temporary. Their life turned upside down in the blink of an eye. They were forced to let go of their most basic luxuries. Times got so tough that the future started seeming bleak. It got harder to hold on especially for their eldest, Manal Malik. 


Keep reading to find out how events unfold for this family and how they learn to adopt gratitude as a life style. 

______

Al-Qurtubi reported: Umar ibn Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, heard a man saying, "O Allah, make me among the few." Umar said, "What is this supplication?" The man said, "I refer to the saying of Allah the Exalted: And few of my servants are grateful." (34:13) Umar said, "All of the people know better than you, O Umar!"

Destined To Be With You by sidra_akhlaq

"How I wish you had first seen your ugly face in the damn mirror before confessing your shitty feelings to me!" He smiled cunningly while taking a sip from his wine.The floor beneath my feet slipped off like an ice as he brutally threw another dagger towards my heart "You are just a piece of shit, YOU UGLY GOLD DIGGER! You should have at least compared our statuses." He spat those words right on my face while his olive green eyes boiled with lava.I cried like a child and voiced my pain in between those merciless hiccups "I neither loved your money, nor your looks, nor your status. It's only your soul which I had dearly loved since 18 years, Shahveer for God's sake don't do this" I begged him while joining both of my hands.His friends laughed hysterically while calling me with abusive names.He came closer and raised his wine up to the level of my eyes making me feel cringe "Apparently, your filthy caliber doesn't match my prestigious one, sweetheart. Your face is not even worthy to be spat upon" And that's when my whole world collapsed. I blurted out something which I shouldn't have had "I pray to my Lord! May you suffer through the same pain which you have given to me" I cried He laughed "May you madly and deeply fall in love with someone who would also laugh at you" That cunning smile eventually started to fade "May you crazily fall in love only to get humiliation in return and may your heart bleed with the pain of rejection" I continuously denounced evil prayers upon him until my vision started to black out What happens when two spiritually opposite souls are destined to be attracted towards each other but one has to lead a regretful life, while the other has to kill all the dreams?To know more, join the painful spiritual journey of an innocent soul and a ruthless man and let the love whisper through your soul.

Hope Of Love by WhisperingWords_786

"Do you want to go back to him? Are you still in love with him?" He asked, staring at her in trepidation. The fear of losing her was visible in his voice and tearful eyes. "I wish! " A wistful smile appeared on her face, "But That's impossible now. You know It hurts to love someone and not to be loved in return, But what is the most painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let the person know how you feel. In hope of love I lived. I hoped for love with all my heart now I'm hopeless, falling apart. I'm tired of watching the person I love be in love with someone else. Craving for someone else's presence when I'm present in his life. It's too late for a second chance, although I'd love to know where we'd have been, If only we had tried....But unfortunately... His love for her left him broken forever and my hope of love left me empty for eternity with no hope of love again." He is her husband, the father of her children, her life partner but only committed by responsibilities and obligations....not by love. He's there in her life through thick and thin but only as duty....not as desire. He'd spend more than a decade with her, but only as housemates and co-parent of their children....not as companion. There's every emotions in their relationship but the love is dead...and only Hope is left. 'HOPE OF LOVE' Join "Hope Of Love" the story of Jahan and Jannat.

Guilted: Wars Against The Past (Editing) by froward

The things I knew that were once unethical, were bound to be saintly. The dreams I dreamt once upon a time, seemed to be an epitome of nightmares. The heart I thought I stole long ago, always belonged to someone else. The crimes I have committed all my life, became a handful of lessons that I ought to learn. The world I looked up to once, became a mortal enemy of mine. The family I thought would disown me, fought my battles for me. The life I never imagined I'd live, sadly it became a life I'd rather live than die. Lastly, the guilt I carried in me for the each and every second of my living, was a poison spreading and gradually banishing everything around me. Clearly, I was bounded by the past! Never have I imagined for the galaxy of guilt in me to steadily transform into a matter of great; Love. No, it wasn't for my dead sister, or for the woman I once claimed to love, or for my money-grubbing father, or even for the woman who was destined for me. Majestically, it was for Someone who I never ever thought it would be for; My Maker. Well, it's mind-blowing how the ugliest of matters bring out the most beautiful of articles! -Guilt is a gift from Allah, warning you that what you are doing is violating your soul.- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Started: 22/12/2017, 7:15 pm.

Bowled Over By The Broken by HopesPrayersNSmiles

No matter how close you are to them, there are certain things you just don't say. No matter how lonely you feel, there are certain people you just don't befriend. No matter how much you've fallen, there's always a guy you shouldn't give your heart to... Sadly for me, I learnt the last one only after I had gotten my heart broken. They say that you shouldn't look down upon anyone, or you will be put in their situation and made to experience the crisis. When I was fourteen, I had rolled my eyes at a girl who was sobbing histerically over a guy who liked her best friend. And I was probably paying the price for that now. However, I was trying my best to fit my feet in the shoes I had been given. I was trying and I was managing just fine. What I didn't need was a trouble maker who entered my life without permission. The guy who claimed to be bowled over by me, the one with a broken heart. Little did he know, I had entrusted myself to Al Malik, The Owner of me and my heart. And if he had to reach me, he had to do so by pleasing Allah. Which wasn't possible for a guy like him. Or so I thought.
