The Neighbor by leilanbadr

Sarah, a 21-year-old Muslim woman, has just lost her grandfather. She travels to Morocco with her family for the funeral, then returns alone to France to start her new job as a caregiver for Madame Meyer, who happens to be the grandmother of Julien, her neighbor. As days go by, Sarah finds herself caught in a whirlwind of unexpected emotions, torn between her principles, her faith, and feelings she never anticipated having to confront. At the same time, strange events start happening in her apartment since her return from Morocco. She's consumed by anxiety, unsure whether she's on the brink of paranoia or if something-or someone-is actually watching her closely. Will she manage to regain control of her emotions and unravel the mystery surrounding her? This novel delves into the intimacy of Muslim women, a topic still too often shrouded in taboo. I felt it was important to explore it to challenge prejudices and offer, to those interested, a glimpse into this part of their lives and identities as women. Trigger Warning ⚠️: This book addresses themes of rape, confinement, and domestic violence.

Closer To You by that_muslimgirl

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
