Nafs is an Arabic word.
I have no idea how to translate it into English, but it means one's own self, the desires, lust, cravings, a person has for himself.
This is a short story about nafs, and about how the characters battle against it, Ameerah's journey towards the right path, Zarak's sacrifices for the love of Allah, Abdul Rehman's Jihad against his desires and Aabira's struggle towards the truth.
The prophet Muhammad SAW said that the greatest Jihad is battling against one's own soul, the evil within one's own self.
InshaAllah, you will love it.
Give it a try. ;)

until love found her
✍️ Author's Note I've always believed stories are more than words. They are homes. This story? It's the home I built for every girl who has loved deeply, hurt silently, healed slowly, and bloomed beautifully. Until Love Found Her is not just Nafisa's journey. It's yours, mine, and every heart that's whispered "maybe this time, it'll last." It's about friendship that feels like forever, romance rooted in faith, and the quiet power of healing. I wrote this with laughter in my eyes, tears in my throat, and love blooming in every sentence. Thank you for holding it in your hands, for reading Nafisa's journey, and for walking through it with your whole soul. From me to you, Jannah Alhassan 🌿 With a heart full of dua
It Started with a Hijabi's Diary
"And they plot and plan, and ALLAH plans and ALLAH is the best of planners" (Al-Quran) "Can you tell me to whom this diary belongs?" The person gave me a bored look and I took a long breath to ease the ache in my lungs. I don't think I've ever ran this much in my life. I gave him a pleading look. "Please?! It's really important!". The person looked at me with a face void of any emotions. "Please!!" I don't think I've ever used this word for anyone except my family. I just ordered and it happened. But it didn't seem to be happening right now. I took a last glance at the person giving him a desperate look, then ran to other people. One clue, Just one!! Alteast a little hint!! I kneeled down on the road, not caring about anything and pleaded to Allah Almighty, keeping the diary close to me as it's the most precious thing in the world, the beads present in its cover poking my chest, "Please Allah! I'm sorry for all the sins I've ever done in my life. Surely, You're the most merciful. Please, find me a way to her. Let me meet her. Oh, Allah! Only You know if I don't go to her, what will happen. Please help me." I looked at the diary, its beads shining in the sunlight, and still keeping it close to my chest, I sat at the pavement looking defeated but I won't lose hope. I would not lose hope!! Then I heard heavy footsteps and then someone placed a hand on my shoulder and I turned only to feel like all the trucks of the world attacked me at once. It can't happen. No, no please no!! NOO!!! ____ It's a tale of motivation, Faith, Iman, Tawaqqul, Taqwa, mystery, twists and true love It's a tale of a diary "It all started with a Hijabi's diary! Now none of us knows how it's going to end" #1 in guiding #6 in Quran #1 in Taqwa #47 in mysteryromance #69 in IslamComplete

In Allah's Light
"In the midst of heartache, there comes a moment of questioning-a moment when life seems too heavy to bear, and faith feels like a distant memory. The tale of the journey of a young woman who, after losing her parents, finds herself lost in grief, anger, and a deep sense of abandonment. She turns her back on Allah, consumed by the pain of her loss, unable to understand why her world has fallen apart. But the journey doesn't end there. As time passes, she begins to find herself, piece by piece. Her path to healing is long and filled with doubt, yet in the quietest of moments, she finds Allah again. Slowly, she starts to understand that faith isn't about perfection-it's about believing even when you don't have all the answers. It's about trusting that Allah's plan is greater than our pain, and that even in our darkest moments, we are never truly alone. Along the way, a love story begins to unfold-one that shows her that there is still beauty in the world, even after loss. She meets a man who is a single father, carrying his own burdens, but through their connection, they discover a love that's built on trust, patience, and a shared understanding of life's trials. This story is for anyone who has ever felt lost, anyone who has questioned their faith, and anyone who has wondered if love can truly heal the heart. It's a reminder that no matter how far we stray, there's always a way back to Allah. And sometimes, the most unexpected moments lead us to the most beautiful of places. I hope you like it🥰🥰🥰Complete
When Stars are Hidden
COMPLETED ✔️✔️ Excerpt. *** "I won't bite. . .yet. . .I promise" He said with a teasing smirk. Walking in the rain didn't sound like a bad idea. Naima didn't want to sit in a car alone with him. As her luck was rare, the thunder clapped and she found herself racing into a practical stranger's car. That wasn't the plan. Naima looked at him weirdly. "Fine. . .but don't try anything funny." "You have my word. I won't try anything. . . funny, Habiba." She could have voiced her disapproval in his insistent need to call her Habiba. But there were much more bigger problems. *** Blurb. A bump in the high school hallway? Cliché. . .I know. But it did happen. And personally Naima hated clichés. She was clearly going to hate him too. But she didn't design life. No one did. And Tawfiq had a way of sneaking up into people's lives if he wanted. And he wanted to sneak into the one hijabi in his French class. Things start not to match up with what Naima knows and questions are raised. Everyone hides something from the world. . . Even stars hide behind clouds on a cloudy night. When the clouds move, will a beautiful starry night be seen or a dark sky with no stars? As the saying goes, Nothing is really truly hidden... Forget Disney and fairy tales. For this is a whole different tale. WARNING ‼️ ⚠️ You'll laugh with them. You'll cry with them. You'll hate some with a passion. You'll love some with the same passion. Started: September 2017. Ended: December 2018. Book 1 in The Secret SeriesComplete

I was speechless, my mind has betrayed me, I just stood there starring at him as he ran away, I couldn't even ask him to stop or come back for me, he just ran away, like a prey from a predator, and I felt guilty about it, he was my victim.
