Sixteen-year-old Amina has a plan: survive Year 11, ace her GCSEs, and avoid unnecessary chaos (aka her dramatic family and nosy neighbors). But when she's paired up with Noah Clarke-quiet, polite, American-and male-for a Romeo and Juliet essay, things start getting haram-ish.
One school project, a million misunderstandings, and a whole house of screaming Arabs later, Amina's carefully balanced world starts shifting... and maybe, just maybe, so does her heart.
Hijabs, hormones, Hannan on YouTube, and halal Jaffa Cakes-it's all happening. And this isn't just a project anymore.

Loving khalifa
"So you don't care if I spend the rest of my life jumping from one girl's bed to another?" he asked turning to me.

I would want to see you settle down with a girl when the time comes" "Brother... there's that word" he whispered bitterly. "What's wrong with the word?" "Is that all I'll ever be to you? A brother" he spat out the word like it was a disease. I shrugged.

INFATUATED
Studious, Pious, Beautiful, Introvert- enough adjectives to describe her. She gets tagged with 'TOO SERIOUS' at her first encounter with everyone. But isn't her mind the most colourful of all?

Single? Definitely dude! She's a practicing Muslimah. Let's see how her life changes in the five years of university. What happens when her future significant other crosses her path? Could she ever think that one day HE will be the one without whom life would seem impossible? NOPE. Love at first sight only exists in fantasy. Real Muslimahs wait with patience and faith for the right time to approach. 🥈1st Runner Up of The Rahma Awards 2018🏆 🥉2nd Runner Up of Spotlight Season 2 🏆Complete
Kissing Doesn't Help
Adem, a quiet, observant high school senior, is growing up in a culturally conservative Muslim household in a mostly white, suburban American town. To his peers, he's the guy dating Lexie Brighton-sweet, popular, and "safe." But the relationship is performative. Lexie is more image than intimacy, and Adem is exhausted by pretending. At school, Adem plays along with Islamophobic jokes and nicknames like "Terrorist Tom Brady" to protect himself from deeper isolation. At home, he's caught between a reserved father who prefers silence, a protective mother who disapproves of his relationship, and two sharp sisters who see through him-especially Mariam, his whip-smart, eye-rolling younger sister. The story's emotional shift begins when Adem shares a quiet, unexpected kiss with Danny, a longtime friend and artist who's open about his sexuality and calm in ways Adem envies. The kiss doesn't answer all of Adem's questions-it just cracks open the internal tension he's worked hard to suppress. After this moment, Adem begins to unravel. He grows distant from Lexie. He lingers longer in front of the mirror, starts caring more about how he presents himself, and begins questioning everything-his faith, his relationships, his future. He doesn't come out, but he starts becoming. Danny doesn't push for clarity or commitment-he simply stays nearby, offering steady friendship. Adem tries to reconnect with faith, but struggles to pray. He's ashamed to talk about his feelings with his parents. He stops going to parties with Lexie. He isolates himself before slowly, tentatively, seeking truth. As graduation approaches, Adem watches his peers embrace nostalgia he doesn't share. Later, in the empty gym, Danny asks: "Wanna sneak out?" Adem says yes.Complete
MADE FOR EACH OTHER
Dua Shah the innocent girl with a devastated life. Never loved by anyone from her family. She lost her mother in early age. She lives with her father and her stepsister ayesha. Who can't stand dua. An incident occurred which took away ayesha's mother recently for which she blames dua. A enforced marriage led her into armaan's life. Armaan rizvi, the young handsome and rich guy. Every girl's dream man. But unlike other guy's who take it for granted armaan is known for his calm nature. He appears in dua's life. Breaks her shell and helps her stand for herself. And finally falls for her even though he loved somebody else. ~~~~~~ "So where is that girl who said never in this life I am gonna marry a person like you." Armaan said putting his hands in his pockets. "Just consider yourself lucky. Armaan rizvi." Said dua with her challenging eyes. Hearing his name from dua was sounding somewhat different to him. "Lucky me. You should be considering yourself lucky that I agreed on this. And why don't you simply say that you can't deny this thing." Armaan said pointing at himself. A laugh left dua and she shook her head at him. Armaan liked her laugh and a smile appeared on his face seeing dua laugh. "What ever makes you sleep at night." She said. ~~~~~~ This book has its own loop holes. The character are muslim but do not necessarily preach islamic practices. I basically am stuck with the phenomenon of romance. Made for each other is a perfect book for someone who is looking for a happy ending romance novel. It also has a hit of mystery, jealously, thrill, family issues and lies. Hope the audience is 15+...

Guilted: Wars Against The Past (Editing)
The things I knew that were once unethical, were bound to be saintly. The dreams I dreamt once upon a time, seemed to be an epitome of nightmares. The heart I thought I stole long ago, always belonged to someone else. The crimes I have committed all my life, became a handful of lessons that I ought to learn. The world I looked up to once, became a mortal enemy of mine. The family I thought would disown me, fought my battles for me. The life I never imagined I'd live, sadly it became a life I'd rather live than die. Lastly, the guilt I carried in me for the each and every second of my living, was a poison spreading and gradually banishing everything around me. Clearly, I was bounded by the past! Never have I imagined for the galaxy of guilt in me to steadily transform into a matter of great; Love. No, it wasn't for my dead sister, or for the woman I once claimed to love, or for my money-grubbing father, or even for the woman who was destined for me. Majestically, it was for Someone who I never ever thought it would be for; My Maker. Well, it's mind-blowing how the ugliest of matters bring out the most beautiful of articles! -Guilt is a gift from Allah, warning you that what you are doing is violating your soul.- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Started: 22/12/2017, 7:15 pm.

What Are the Odds?
Noah destroys every life he touches. Taking his first life with his own first breath, his path of destruction only spirals from there. Consumed by guilt and reminded every day of all that he's done, he makes a terrible decision- and ends up with the only thing he's ever wanted in life. Now he's faced with a choice- lie and be happy, or tell the truth and risk losing the one person who's saved his life time and time again. The odds that all of this could happen to one person? Slim to none. But then again, they've always been stacked against him. **trigger warning for content: suicide, trauma, physical/emotional abuse** **Mature- strong language, some sexual content** My cover was created using a free stock photo I found online and the website Canva- I do not own the picture!
