"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!"

"i will give you my kidney and i want luxury life in return" Everyone stared at me jaw dropped, puzzled, I'm just a passerby how can I just stick my nose into something that's none of my business? Did i think their son's life is a joke? I can tell by their looks that they didn't get my point so i added firmly. "I'm ready to be the donor if that's possible, but instead of just paying me cash i want you to take me to your mansion and treat me as a family, i want you to get me admitted into the best university in town, i want to drive your fancy cars and attend your fancy parties if it's possible i repeat" "But the money we are willing to pay for the organ is not going to cover all this, luxury life cost quit a lot" a very tall dark complexioned handsome man answered from behind me.

"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.

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.
