You know how your family and loved ones say you are beautiful? smart, clever, and intelligent? How some think you are calm? respectful? cute even?
You know how you internally disagree but keep it buried deep within yourself?...and it sort of scares you?
How some others see as something different to what your loved ones see you...but that doesn't seem to really fit either?
That is me, Maisara Gray; though not all of me ofcourse.
Maisara is a 15 year old autistic muslim girl, and saying that trying to explain her is a near impossible job says enough.
Yameen Lake is somewhat similar to Maisara but almost everything about him is different from her at the same time. He is compassionate, yes, but he doesn't care about other's opinion of him very much. He is Intelligent, intoverted and confident on the outside, but on the inside, he is something a bit different.
For both of them, showing weakness to others is simply non-existant and others admire them for their outward selves.
But is that a blessing or a bit of a curse?
When the two notice each other, they are completely thrown off guard, they do not know what to expect, yet they are intrigued.
And after specific feelings enter the equation everything gets complicated considering they are muslim, their autism, and that one is a student and one is a teacher...

Beloved
**Part of Preloved Series- Can be read as a stand-alone** You don't have to read Preloved in order to read this book. You can read this story on its own but my personal advice would be to read Preloved first if you haven't already, but it's completely up to you guys! ---------------------------- Hamza and Ayat had been living two different and wholly disconnected lives. They are not easy, they are not simple, and they most definitely don't agree on most things...then why are their paths colliding? Can two broken souls be woven together in love that is both pure and real? And if so, how far can you go for the one you love? ---------------------------- 'You hate me?' He gripped my wrist harder. 'You are hurting me Mr.Hamza...' I swallowed back my resentment. His grip loosened around my wrist, but he didn't let me go completely. There were so many emotions twirling in my chest that I felt like my heart was going to explode. 'And you are hurting me, do you think that I planned to fall in...' He let go of me and looked away. I needed to get away from him, I turned around to go back to my room, but he grabbed my hand again and made me look at him. 'I am sorry' He said out of despair, his eyes darted all over my face waiting for my reply. He looked so vulnerable as opposed to a second ago when his eyes were full of rage. I couldn't move.Complete
LET ME HATE YOU
A marriage neither wanted. A hatred neither understands. Two strangers tied by a past that stains everything between them. He never wanted a wife. Especially not her. Cold, distant, and poisoned by assumptions, Amaan enters the forced marriage with one intention- to keep his distance and keep his resentment alive. Asmaira enters with something far heavier- guilt. Not to protect him. Not to save him. But because she knows the truth of what happened... and she cannot bear to confess it. They have never met. But the moment they do, the air turns sharp- full of tension, unspoken accusations, and the kind of hate that feels too much like longing. He despises her for a sin she never committed. She punishes herself for a sin she never confessed. And marriage turns into a battleground where silence is a weapon... and closeness is a threat. In this house, love is impossible. Trust is deadly. But hatred? Hatred is the only thing keeping them alive.
Transcendence (A Muslim-Christian Story)
"So you approached me without being aware of my identity?" He asks me, while raising an eyebrow. To say I was shocked would be an understatement. It takes me a while to compose myself and form a sensible reply. "Yes, I wasn't aware of your identity." "You might think you can fool me, but trust me, this has happened quite a few times before as well." He says with a very serious expression. I'm baffled by his accusation. This man has the audacity to question my intentions when he's the one trying to converse with me all along. I don't know what comes over me, but whenever I'm overwhelmed with anger, it turns into tears. And before I can compose myself, I taste the salty tears in my mouth. I take a few deep breaths, place the cup on the side table and get up to leave. "Thank you for your hospitality and your excellent assessment of my character. I will now take your leave." With that, I turn to head towards the door but he grabs my hand and pulls me towards him. Characters: Ameerah is a happy-go-lucky 23 year old who has recently graduated from med school.

He's one of the youngest and most accomplished surgeon in town. To an outsider, his life would seem perfect.

As Our Holy Qur'an states Surah An-Nisa, Verse 28: Allah desires that He should make light your burdens, and man is created weak. Follow a story of trials and errors, to finding her path to love, and to Life.Complete

He Completes Me ✔
"Mum, you can't leave me... how could you?" A gasp escaped her lips. Her mother had been the only one by her side-and now she was gone too. There was nothing she could do. It was destiny, written by the Almighty Allah. Now, she was all alone. No one to support her. No one to care. No one to gently caress her soul. The one person she thought would care-Zidan Sheikh-was nowhere to be found. She was left by herself in her vast, empty mansion. Zoha Siddiqui, 22, single-one of the youngest owners of a top-ranking business. Life had left her bitter. A natural introvert, she let very few people in. Only Aunt Farah, her mother's best friend, made efforts to stay in touch-always checking in on her friend's daughter. And whenever depression gripped her heart, her mother's words would echo back, like a healing balm: "Have faith in Allah, for He is the best of planners." ⸻ On the other hand... Syed Amaan-one of the biggest names in the business world-had everything a person could wish for. Yet beneath the success, he carried a gentle, caring heart. He understood what it meant to have true faith in Allah. But then again-no one is perfect. "Amaan, I want you to marry," his mother said softly, stroking his hair. "You're a grown man now-and your deen remains incomplete. A spouse completes half your faith." This time, she wasn't joking. And he knew it. He sighed, stood up, and replied: "Go on, Mom... maybe I'm ready now." ⸻ But what happens when someone wants Zoha-not for love, not for faith-but for all the wrong reasons? "I need you for one night," he said, sending shivers through her body. She felt sickened. Disgusted. Her faithful soul recoiled at the thought. A halal couple trying to protect their pure love from haram intentions. Their journey is more than just romance-it's about faith, resilience, and destiny. Note: This story isn't just for Muslims. Everyone is heartily welcome to read and connect with the soul of Amaan and Zoha's journey.Complete
Worth It
"I don't get it! Why do you keep doing this to me?!" His words were wrapped in molten lava, hands in his hair, eyes closed tight. My heart hammered at my ribcage. I knew where this was going. "You pull me in, then you push me the hell away!" He shook his head at me in disgust. I felt a piece of me break at every disappointed word he'd said, the panic was rising through every crevice of my body. "I'm done Al, I can't keep playing this game with you. I can't keep picking up the casualties on my own. I am tired, I'm just tired of trying to make you love me." He let out in defeat and waited for my response. Alarms started going off in my head but all I could do was look down in shame. When I didn't say anything, he looked at me a moment longer and turned to walk away. Everything in me was screaming at him to stay but no sound would come out of my mouth. He was walking at such a slow pace I knew he wanted me to call him back. But as I opened my mouth to scream his name, I remembered something Amirah had told me a few weeks ago. "Allah sends you signs to show you that someone isn't good for you and when you still don't let go, he makes them hurt you so that you have no choice but to" I wasn't good for him so I let him go. _____________ This is Alanna's story. It combines the tragedies of her past, the trials of the present and what ties them together. Buckle up because this is one hell of a story.Complete![BENAR UNTUKMU [C]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/399399211-256-k159656.jpg)
BENAR UNTUKMU [C]
Nur Qayreena, gadis kampung berusia 26 tahun, hidup dalam tenang yang sederhana menjaga ayahnya yang uzur sambil meneruskan hari-hari sunyi selepas kehilangan ibu. Tamat pengajian dalam bidang perladangan, dia memilih tinggal di kampung, bukan kerana tidak mampu melangkah lebih jauh, tetapi kerana kasihnya pada ayah terlalu besar untuk ditinggalkan.

Raaz e ishq: prem ki deewangi
"Main galti nahi thi uski zindagi ki... Lekin phir bhi sabse mehngi saza main hi bani." ********************************************************** She didn't plan to fall in love with him. And he... was never allowed to feel anything back. But what do you do when the one person you're not supposed to love... becomes the only one who truly sees you? "Tum meri student ho." "Aur aap... meri adhoori dua." Aleezey was light - young, fragile, and full of dreams no one ever took seriously. Prem was silence - older, emotionally burnt, and chained by guilt he never named. Their story wasn't written in stars. It was carved in shame, stitched in stolen glances, and hidden between classroom walls. Everyone warned her. He warned her. "Main tumhe barbaad kar dunga agar tum paas aayi." "Phir barbaadi hi meri manzil sahi." This isn't a sweet love story. It's a forbidden obsession - one that crosses every line, questions every rule, and dares to exist in a world where it shouldn't. But when love starts feeling like your only truth... Can you really walk away from it? Some feelings aren't meant to be right. But they're impossible to forget. This is their Raaz-e-Ishq - And it will stay with you long after the last page.
