Jihad is not who people think she is. 

Tucked behind her usually downcast eyes and beneath her overly ironed jilbabs are secrets. Dark, obscene ones she believes will whittle to dust, if leaked, every relationship she's carefully built and the respect she's managed to garner over the years. 

But secrets are like truths; they cannot stay hidden.And when Jihad is faced with exposure on a scale she never imagined, she's given a choice: save face or save a friend?

Either option comes with a damning price tag.

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.

A Promise From My Heart by Queen_of_blooms

In the mundane, ordinary details that gave meaning to his life, she was in the background as his friend's younger sister. Nothing of much significance and notice. But it was just a matter of time before a serendipitous series of events interweaved, sketched and painted her fate into his. Their bland and irrelevant conversations became soulful. In their secret meetings, they shared their woes, the aches in their hearts, the most fatal of their flaws, their greatest victories and soon, the flutter that had began in the core of their beings. There was comfort in being together and a calm that grips their souls in the presence of each other. It took little courage, many inhalations and exhalations of air and break out of cold sweat for Yusuf to confess his feelings, reveal their relationship and lay down his intention to tie the knot with his friend's younger sister, Amatullah. In their marital life, they rebirth, reformed and evolved. This profound feeling brought luminance to their souls and they reflected on each other like the brilliance of a thousand stars. Then one tragic incident changed it all. He lost his mother. She lost their pregnancy and went into denial. His family was thrown into a mess by the loss. Souls were bruised. Hearts were broken. And their relationship was affected. Everything he did to save them proofed to be futile. Their once bright sky had become be-darkened with grief. The embers of his soul couldn't even illuminate hers. The whole incident left him with a trail of questions. One of them was, will this make or break their marriage?

Ya Amar (My Moon) by Queen_of_blooms

It took a wrong turn to align their paths. They met at a time when both were lost souls, navigating through loss and the storms of life. At first, it was silence and long stares. Then the sceptical meetings blossomed into an orbit of comfort that uncovered the similarities of their souls in the bleak room of a psychiatric hospital. What began as hush tunes in their hearts boomed into a fierce crescendo. Noorie was a woman of fire, spontaneous and outgoing which rivalled Amir's quiet, organised and shy nature. Yet, their differences were a factor in the whole circumstances that bonded theirs hearts, souls and lives. They decided to take the leap into a life together. Marriage. It took her away from home, across the continent to the city of London where a new life awaits her. Her optimism was great. She was ready to learn the new way of life and fit in. But her new family found ways to tell her she was not fair enough to be part of them nor would they give her a chance to fit in. Little did she know that should be the least of her problems. There were a lot the man, her husband, with honey-wheat eyes that captivates her, whose sincerity melts her heart, and attitude races it had hidden from her. So much that brought fears, insecurities and secrets neither her nor her husband were ready for.

$The Grey In Black And White {COMPLETED} by Dami_A_Johnson$

The teenage period is usually not always easy. You make mistakes, you learn from them. It's like a moulding phase towards adulthood, which tends to be harder than adults make it sound. Especially in this generation. Growing up in a society where having a psychological condition means you're a freak, abnormal or an attention seeker. Where gender inequality is still seen as normal and right. Where anything other than Heterosexuality means you're possessed or the spawn of the devil. Where showing your emotions as a guy means you're soft and weak, because toxic masculinity isn't seen as a problem. Also, having anything to do that's related to these "atrocities" means you're set for an even bigger social stigma. Being a teenager becomes harder than hard. Just a group of teenagers trying to find a place for themselves in midst of a backward society, realising that life can't be all black and white. Growing in an African home is hard but what's harder is being a Nigerian. O le gán. "It is better to be hated for what you are, than to be loved for what you're not." -André Gide
