Dana, the author of this diary is a woman currently in her twenty nine spring, working in a foreign country and living alone. Single, craving for warmth and appealing conversations. She's very religious and try to improve herself and her faith.

Currently very depressed and lost. She thought that writing might be the best way to release all of her hidden thoughts, struggles so to see if she can find some answers to her riddles. 

Because it is said that writing can help discerning your life, and untie complex knots. So she started this diary during a cold winter day.

Dana aims to leave a trace for the future version of herself, with hints and hopefully answers of the way of life. If not, it's also good. She will allow herself to cringe while reading all of her previous entries. Which might be fun for her (or not).

Like an album photo, this diary will follow her in her growth. Showing the evolution of her mindset, her sanity, her faith. Hopefully finding happiness and bliss in this tortuous journey of life.

The is a beginning, but no one knows when is the end of this diary. Only times know. Only God knows.

"I know that we will never be a real couple, but we can at least be nice to each other Aneel" I told him. I've had enough. Tears were starting to prick my eyes, but I didn't let them fall. He looked over at me in a weird expression. Like if I died in front of him, he wouldn't care. "You don't get it, do you?! I. will. never. love. you! I will never care for you. You wait, every day, for me to come home and have dinner with you like normal couples do- you are pathetic. You are nothing! Absolutely nothing to me. You are not even worth my words. You are a loser who has nobody- your parents? They are just like me. They knew that you were worthless and wanted to get rid of you" he said angrily. I was not angry at him. He was telling the truth. I'm nothing. Never was, never will. I nodded. He was right. He was so damn right. Sahra Ali is eighteen years old when she gets married. It was not a marriage out of love, no, she was forced into it. Shre grew up being abused. Her parents sold her for money. No parent would do that, so are her so called parents her real parents? She is trying to survive this marriage, because she believes in Allah and knows that He had a good reason that He gave her all these pain. Aneel Osman is a badboy who wants nothing to do with Islam. He was a muslim when he was younger, but when something bad happened, he blamed Allah for it. Deep inside he knows that it is wrong, but shoves that thought away. He began doing the things Allah prohibited. There was no one to hold onto or to pull him out. He kept falling and falling. And when he has to deal with that girl his parents wants him to marry, he is losing himself more and more. Read the description in the book for the fully version! This is a short draft! ~ Salaam guys, this story is edited! Almost everything has CHANGED and it is now a mature story. I like how it turned out. Thank you for all your support! It still contains small grammar mistakes. You have been warned:)

Peer-e-Kamil (The Perfect Mentor) by Umera Ahmed is a thought-provoking and deeply moving Urdu novel that explores themes of spirituality, self-discovery, love, and redemption. The story revolves around two contrasting characters, Salaar Sikander and Imama Hashim, whose lives intertwine in unexpected and transformative ways. All copyrights for Peer-e-Kamil and its content belong to Umera Ahmed. I have only translated this into English.
