Yahya and Noor are a newly-wed Muslim couple trying to navigate married life as people who had an arranged marriage. It means that whilst they know each other, it's the first time doing a lot of things together.
Join them as they experience their firsts- there's a certain art to forehead kisses and Noor thinks Yahya has already mastered it- and lasts- Noor will never again buy lemon muffins for the two of them- with each other. Because there is nobody else they would rather do it with.
From the Author:
The Guide and The Light are a series of comedic, romantic and soft short stories detailing the representation Muslims want but are never allowed to have. We all deserve to see ourselves fall in love and keep that love. We all deserve to have our beliefs respected and celebrated, instead of treated like a joke or insulted.
It's about giving my community what they want and turning conversations that shouldn't have happened in public into something we can all smile at. I hope you enjoy.

𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐎𝐁𝐒𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍
What happens when the man you hate is the one you're already married to? Noor is a bright, spirited literature student with a sharp tongue and a hidden past. Azlan is her cold, distant professor-feared, respected, and emotionally unavailable. But beneath his composed exterior hides a storm he never lets anyone see. They clash from day one. She challenges his authority. He questions her every move. But what no one knows? They were secretly married years ago-tied by a promise made in childhood, forgotten by one and burned into the soul of the other. When fate places them under one roof again, old sparks reignite into something far more dangerous-feelings. She's sunshine. He's storms. She tries to move on. He starts to fall. But between buried secrets, shattered expectations, and a love neither of them asked for... will their hearts survive? A slow-burn halal romance full of angst, stolen glances, silent duas, and a love written in destiny.
Dawud.
My stomach dropped the second we made eye contact. He had long and dark brown hair, which curled under the baseball cap he wore backward. The subtle curve of his nose was covered in light freckles with piercing green eyes and lush eyelashes to match. He was tall and thin, carrying a beauty I couldn't comprehend. I didn't even let my eyes trail down to what he was wearing. I lowered my gaze immediately, feeling my cheeks grow hot. I watched his feet shift awkwardly in those navy blue Vans. *** Jannah is a nineteen-year-old Muslim just trying to get by.

He loves his family deeply but has no tolerance for anyone who breaks the rules. As a practicing Muslim, Haider leads a structured life, but his anger often gets the better of him.

Their arranged marriage feels more like a prison sentence than a love story, and their constant bickering turns into an enemies-to-lovers journey full of witty banter and heated moments.

But as they spend more time together, hidden sparks of attraction start to flicker, and they may just discover that love grows where it's least expected. In this family comedy romance, "Ikhtilaaf E Ishq" explores how two people from different worlds can learn to find balance, respect, and, eventually, love.
