"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 promise you. No one will ever take your place in my heart." ××× "You didn't tell me you were engaged to her," Zameer says gritting his teeth. "Seriously man, I am not. What's with you? How many times should I convince you?" Shehzad spoke blushing, then suddenly flew up from the chair and asks with wide eyes, "Wait! Why do you care if I am engaged to her?" "Forget it. So then it means Amyrah is already engaged to someone." "Then she'll get married to him too?" Shehzad looks at Zameer worriedly. "Yeah... Shehzu, what if this marriage dosen't work?" Zameer asks grinning slightly. Then Shehzad says quietly, "Then I can marry her, right?" "What!!!?" ××× "Stop it dude!" Humaira deadpanned. "I don't know how," He murmured. "What did you say!!?" We screamed. "Why did you drive then!!?" I yelled hitting him on the head with my backpack which was a bad idea because he looked back, rubbing his head. At that moment, the four of us screached together. "Look front!!!" He quickly looked forward and mumbled, "How to stop?" ××× ~ Humor, love, friendship and promises ~ #1 in bestie as at 3/12/2020 #1 in motivational as at 27/01/2021 •••••》If you are reading this story on any other platform other than Wattpad, you are very likely to be at risk of a malware attack.

Pretty Little Thing | ✓ by sanasays

[Highest ranking: #1 in Spiritual on 15/8/18] ••• • In which a girl saved a boy's life in the most unexpected of circumstances • She drank water. He drank alcohol. She had a family who'd take a bullet for her. He had a family who'd throw him under the bus. She dreamt of her future. He dreamt of his death. Both are Muslims but only one is closer to their Lord. ••• *NOT CLICHÉ* This story in no way depicts the true Muslim culture. It's about the modern Muslims nowadays who steer away from the right path. This book contains some strong language, graphic content and violence so I advise you to read it with care.
