Valedictorian and Ivy League-bound, eighteen-year-old Hayat Amanullah seemed to have it all-until her oldest brother died in a car crash. Since then, the tight-knit Amanullah family has crumbled; now her mom never leaves her room, her dad buries himself in work, and her middle brother Ihsaan-once the carefree jokester-is withdrawn as he battles his own demons.
Seeking comfort in her new role of caretaker, Hayat grows closer to her best friend's brother, Rameez Khan, whose attention offers her a temporary but troubling escape from the weight of loneliness and responsibilities. Further complicating her emotional turmoil is the inexplicable connection she feels towards her late brother's best friend, Mikaal Zaman, whose kindness and shared grief draw her in deeper.
As Hayat struggles with loss and identity, her strained bond with Ihsaan begins to shift-gradually but meaningfully. And when picking up the pieces of her family is no longer enough to outrun her own grief, she's forced to confront the one question she's been avoiding all along: who is Hayat Amanullah after losing the version of herself that died with her brother?

Reminiscent Pain (Editing)
Reminiscent Pain What happens when a sheltered beauty meets a wandering soul? You might think it's a story about love... but sometimes love comes with the scent of death. In the enchanting city of Hawra, two very different lives collide, carrying with them memories, secrets, and a love tested by trials. Raeesa Atiq, twenty, an only child of a family whose wealth spans generations, has lived her entire life behind walls-longing to see the world but forbidden by her parents. Her desire grows until one day, she breaks free, stepping into the unknown for the first time. Hayat, a free-spirited traveller, lives for adventure, exploring the world and loving with every beat of his heart. When Raeesa's sheltered world meets Hayat's boundless freedom, sparks fly-but will their connection survive the challenges fate has in store? Or will their journey leave them broken, longing, and haunted?
SEHAYAT (Journey Of Healing)
Two hearts. Both shattered. Both searching for peace in a world that only taught them pain. Hayat, a girl raised in the noise of fights, silence of neglect, and betrayal by those she once trusted. When love turns out to be just another lie, she breaks completely - until she finds herself kneeling, not in weakness, but in prayer. She begins a spiritual journey, where every tear becomes a dua, and every breath a step closer to healing. Shaheer, a man shaped by divorce, childhood chaos, and a heartbreak that turned him cold. Love, to him, is a broken promise - one he no longer believes in. Now a successful but emotionally distant businessman, he hides his scars behind arrogance and walls no one can climb. Until fate brings them together. She becomes his assistant - quiet, soft-spoken, but carrying a storm of strength within her. He doesn't believe in love. She no longer needs it to survive. But healing has its own way of working... This is not just a love story. It's about faith, healing, sabr... and two broken souls who never thought they could feel whole again. _________________________________________![House of Ashes [Complete]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/233356955-256-k828554.jpg)

Fix me (COMPLETED) #Wattys2016
Highest ranking, #1 in spiritual ( 10/7/2016 ) until ( 5/ 9/ 2016 ). How can you fix something that's already been broken, several times? I am damaged, used and repulsive... I am nothing, just simply unfixable. Or at least that's what people told me. I've kept to myself for a long time now until I met someone who is just as unfixable as me. I am Layla and this is my story. * Layla Joseph and Adam Hayek cross paths at the most unexpected time. They make a deal, they decide to get married for their own selfish reasons. Put two strangers in one house and see what happens... one of them is a first class bipolar asshole who has no faith left, while the other one is a sweet, fragile girl with baggage in the form of a little angel, who happens to be strengthening her faith. Both are broken... unfixable they say and both have a past that haunts them. A marriage of convenience is what they had in mind... But will there be more or will they let their pasts get in the middle and drive them away from each other, leaving them yet again unfixable? ******* Romance/Spiritual Warning! This book will most probably contain mature language at some point. This book is not meant to be preaching about islam, rather its a book about characters who happen to be muslims struggling with their faith and life. It's a FICTIONAL book, my imagination did the work for me. Anything else could be a coincidence. I DONT OWN ANY OF THE PHOTOS USED IN THIS BOOK. I'm not a perfect Muslimah and this book isn't a perfect Islamic book either. Please have an open mind when you read this book. Thank you.Complete

We stared at eachother in silence. "Hayat Malik" I replied still staring at him. As the words slipped out of my tongue, a small smirk made its way to his lips. This was a simple action but I could sense danger from his eyes. "Aren't you forgetting something Miss...." He trailed off as he took a hold of my face from his right hand, left hand still on the wall. Tinkles spread across my stomach as his hand made contact with my skin. "Hayat Zaydan Malik" He completed and with that he slammed his lips against mine. ✨✨✨ Just two words took to break everything, Misunderstandings aroused, Their friendship broke, Their bond broke along that unknowningly they broke too.

Her First-ISHQ
Her First-ISHQ Six hearts. Three stories. One emotion: ISHQ, the kind that scars and heals at the same time. 𖹭 YUSRA X DANISH (Love after Redemption) She remembered his voice before his name. He returned to faith... not knowing ISHQ was already waiting in the quiet. Two hearts that met on very different paths, only to find home in each other. Tropes: -SHE FELL FIRST BUT HE FELL HARDER -LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT -ARRANGED MARRIAGE 𖹭 AMAYAH X SHAYAN (Second Chances in Silence) She lived for her child. She wasn't looking for love. He saw her scars and still reached for her hand. Sometimes, the most unexpected love is the one Allah sends as a mercy. Tropes: -SECOND CHANCE LOVE -REVERSE AGE GAP -SLOW BURN 𖹭 LAIRA X RAYYAN (The Almost) He entered her life like a question. And left like a lesson. Not every spark becomes a flame and not every heart is hers to keep. Tropes: -BITTERSWEET TENSION -WRONG TIME WRONG RHYTHM -LOVE TRIANGLE Yusra is soft like prayer, yet her silence hides a storm no one sees. "Will she ever get to live in his heart?" Amayah believed in fairytales, until reality tears her pages apart. "Will she ever understand the things which are already written?" Laira is all fire and freedom, but will she ever let someone love her past the flames?. "Will she ever stop blaming herself for others deeds?" And the men who walked in not to complete them, but to remind them they were whole all along. And some to remind them that 'not every love story has a happy ending'. In a world where love is whispered through glances, and hearts break in sujood comes a tale of three journeys, one emotion, and the kind of ISHQ that stays long after it's gone. A tale of halal love, heartbreak, healing and the kind of faith that only grows in the dark. ╰┈➤GENRE -Halal Romance -Contemporary Fiction -Emotional Drama -Multi-Couple Story Continue reading to know their aches and cures!!!
