Beyond the veil
She wore her hijab with pride. He wore his faith on his sleeve. They never meant to fall in love-but destiny had its own plan. Fatima is the quiet, sharp-tongued girl in abaya, always on top of her class and always under people's judgment. Mohammad is the charming gym freak on a bike, with a soft heart, spicy cooking skills-and a secret past he doesn't talk about. They're college rivals, academic competitors, and maybe... something more. Between stolen glances, heated debates, and unanswered duas, something unspoken grows. But they know what it means to love in silence. They know what it means to guard their hearts in a world where love outside marriage is tempting-but never right. This is not your typical college love story. This is the journey of two souls who fall in love not by crossing boundaries... but by respecting them. A story of emotional tension, friendship, family pressure, longing, and the courage to choose the halal path-together. 💌 "How do you fall in love... without disobeying the One who created love?" Read now and step beyond the veil-where modesty meets desire, and faith rewrites fate.

WHEN LOVE BECOMES A CURSE
BOOK 1 RAYYAN MALIK: In the glittering world of business empires, where power and wealth often define respect, stands Rayyan Malik-a man of silence, precision, and unshakable discipline. At just twenty-eight, he is counted among the top businessmen of India. Known for his serious demeanor and sharp intellect, Rayyan is a man who has never been distracted by charm, beauty, or fleeting desires. To the outside world, he appears cold and distant, but in the quiet corners of his heart lives a secret-one that has been there since childhood. Hidden in his every prayer and in the depths of his unspoken wishes lies a single name: Aayat Malik. AAYAT MALIK: At twenty-two, she is the embodiment of warmth and innocence-bubbly, carefree, and unburdened by the weight of the world. She grew up under Rayyan's watchful eyes, completely unaware that she was the center of his silent devotion. Unlike him, she is not ambitious or extraordinary in academics; she is simple, often struggling through studies, yet her charm lies in her purity. Her mornings begin with prayer, her recitation of the Qur'an, and then a return to her beloved world of dreams. Fate, in its mysterious way, answers Rayyan's lifelong prayers when Aayat becomes his bride. But what begins as the fulfillment of his silent longing soon turns into a test of trust and faith. Rayyan's love, once sacred and unwavering, becomes clouded with doubt. His mistrust pushes him into decisions that will shatter Aayat's world. Surrounded by accusations, abandoned even by her family, Aayat finds herself standing alone, her tears unheard and her innocence questioned. Yet, what no one expects is the storm that brews within her heart-the strength she discovers in her solitude. Aayat's journey, from being misunderstood to redefining her place in the world, will leave everyone astonished. And in this clash of love, betrayal, and resilience, both Rayyan and Aayat will face the true meaning of faith, loyalty, and destiny.Complete

IN SILENCE I STAYED
Ranya Rabiu is everything a perfect daughter should be-until her body begins to fail and her soul starts to rebel. Engaged to a man who treats her like an achievement, she drifts through life half-awake, suffocating under obedience and silence. Then she meets Dr. Zaydan Malik-quiet, watchful, dangerously gentle. He doesn't try to save her. He simply sees her, and that changes everything. As Ranya begins to awaken, the world tightens its grip. Love becomes a liability. Choice becomes a sin. Forced into a marriage she never chose, she is sealed inside a house where her voice fades, her faith flickers, and the one person who made her feel real disappears. This is not a love story. It's the story of what happens when a woman learns who she is-and the cost of wanting more.Complete
