Although bought up in a Muslim family with a Muslim name and heritage, Fatimah doesn't feel or act very Muslim. She can't relate to the religions teachings and morals, and stopped trying to a long time ago.
Withdrawing herself from her family, she lets herself fall prey into a game of fashion, fame and fitnah. But the games outcome seems to not turn in her favour, with the addition of betrayal, secrets and gut wrenching sadness, also known as life. Soon, she begins to discover that maybe fashion and fame isn't all it's made out to be. But the clock is ticking, and time waits for no one.
Fitnah? Something no one can resist, except with will power and the help of Allah. And Fatimah is its latest victim. But will she surrender to it, or aim for something halal and everlasting. The choice is hers, but time isn't. And not everyone can change before time's up.
A story about true love, regret and change.
"Your father used to beat me up, that's all I have to say."
She is young and beautiful,
He is old and hateful.
She has a promising future,
He has made a promise to destroy that future.
Cruelly pulled away from the loving arms of her young lover, Fatima is tossed to the nasty feet of an old husband who treats her like junk. Forced to sacrifice the man she loves to save her family's life, she treads carefully and do as she's told.
True! Her husband was the devil himself, but what about her father? Has she been living with a more dangerous one all her life? All she's ever believed in is proving to be lies atop the other.
Who are you to trust when you find yourself behind bar for murder, days after childbirth?
She's Fatima and the man who's supposed to love and protect her? He's her personal Satan!
This is in no way your expected love story.
