As a young muslimah, that too from a South-East Asian background, marriage can be a very difficult topic to talk about in front of your parents. Because often times, culture is given preference over religion, religion is also misinterpreted as culture because of the lack of knowledge and education. A beautiful bond that is a Sunnah, then becomes the worst nightmare for her. The constant fear of being pushed to marry someone from your family or of your parents' choice is traumatising. It feels unfair, because where did my rights to choose go? The rights that Allah gave me?
This, is a story of that young muslimah struggling to ace her studies, build a career, take care of her family, socialise, all while living with this big fear..

Hasan Ilmas loved his wife. But, he loved her in all the wrong ways. He made too many mistakes; hurt her too much. This is the story of all the wrong things he did.

Depressed and exhausted almost all the time, she still tries to love her husband and fulfil her duties as a wife and daughter-in-law. But marriages are nothing less than a battlefield around here. Trapped in a household where unwarranted criticism and tireless labour are the norm, she soon finds her patience running out. To survive, she must learn to keep afloat in the tough waters of mental illness and emotional abuse, holding on to the rope of the deen. © copyright Zainab Alam, 2017. // previously: Some Pain To Write I've renamed it quite a few times, and changed my own name and username.

Choosing Him
She loved him. He loved another. She was ready to die for him. He pretended to be oblivious to that. She was crazy for him. He was crazy for the other girl, but not the mad kind of crazy like she was. She was determined to get to her destination but at the same time immature, hot- headed, sweet, and carefree. A weird combination, right? But what happens when you set the wrong destination for yourself? You lose, right? But she was not the one to accept defeat. She was a determined girl and loved challenges. He was mature but not enough to see what was the best for him. It wasn't even her fault that she couldn't see any other man except him. His name was Aaamir Sheikh. Her name was Areesha Aftab. Aamir fell for the other girl Shazre. It was like love at first sight. Her mother taught her not to look at any man- not because it was prohibited in islam- rather because she was reserved for him. Her mother didn't teach her religion. No one cared about her. All they cared about was that she married him as there had been some promises made in the past that were yet to be revealed to her. What had destiny planned for Areesha? Was Aamir Sheikh the one for her as her mother had always said or was there someone out there waiting for her to pick up her broken pieces, fix her shattered heart, teach the real meaning of love and cherish her like no other. Was that 'someone's' name Fawad Ali, the famous business man whom Areesha worked for or was he the same Aamir Sheikh with whom her name was always tied up? Will Areesha make the right desicion in choosing him? Read to find out more in Choosing Him #20 in spiritual (6-5-2017) Cover by @ItsFirstMalaikaComplete
