Zahra and Hamza. Hamza and Zahra. It was no simple task for their names to be heard side by side. For their story was a complicated one. A sorrowful one. One that was full of longing. ZAHRA is haunted by the demons of her past, and the what-ifs of the future. A seventeen year old girl tasked with caring for her family when her mother leaves; she has to juggle her responsibilities towards her family; her studies; and, her deen. Crying every night on the prayer mat seems to be the norm for Zahra now. She's drowning, and no one can see it. To fall in love would be impossible for a person in her position, but that's ok since she seemed to loathe the concept anyway. More than hate...she feared love. HAMZA is complicated. After moving back to his old home town, he is faced with the one who he could never forget. And how could he? Her crying face is permanently etched in his mind, she plagues his dreams and thoughts, and constant what-ifs are on the tip of his tongue. What if he did something differently, and maybe his and her life could have gone a lot differently. When they both come face to face with each other, emotions are at an all-time high, memories are bound to resurface, and the past they both desperately tried to bury may be coming up to the surface. Now, they both must make a choice. To bury or be buried. Add in confusing family members, mysterious new guys, shocking secrets and crazy plot twists, cute friendships, and heart wrenching moments. A girl on deen, a boy on deen, and a world desperate to keep them apart. But, my dear reader, these are souls that were written to be together. Everything that happens is with the qadr (will) of Allah. Nothing, and no one could stop what He has planned for Zahra and Hamza. WARNING: this story is not for the faint-hearted...you may cry. MAIN CHARACTERS ARE MUSLIM AND PAKISTANI

As Ouahib arrives in town , carrying the weight of a family that has weathered hardships, including parental separation, and the lingering echoes of a once vibrant home, he embarks on a new beginning, yearning for a different chapter. In contrast, Aaliyah experiences an upbringing unfolding in a home where love takes center stage. Raised by parents who provide a foundation of stability and affection alongside with the importance of their deen, her life stands in striking opposition to Ouahib's challenging past. This difference adds a compelling twist to their emerging love story. Navigating the final round of A-levels together, Ouahib's insecurities and Aaliyah's faith, collide unexpectedly.

In the corridors of knowledge and the heart of the city, Aaliyah and Ouahib's love story unfolds, threading through the intricacies of family dynamics, resilience, and the transformative power of shared experiences. Importantly, both Aaliyah, a thoughtful Pakistani girl, and Ouahib, a determined Moroccan boy, integrate their Deen into their lives, influencing their perspectives from early on and shaping their upbringing. Driven by their shared commitment to follow the halal way, Aaliyah and Ouahib decide to embrace marriage at a young age, adding a profound yet challenging layer to their evolving story.
