She tries to pray five times a day.
She's still got blood on her sneakers.
In the heart of Atlanta, beneath the weight of sirens, secrets, and sujood, Rakan is doing what she can to make it out-without losing what little faith she's still holding on to. Her mama gave her prayer beads. The streets gave her paranoia. Somewhere in between, she's learning how to live, fight, and heal.
With her brother missing and the block closing in, Rakan walks a fragile line between deen and survival. Can a girl who's seen too much still be saved?
Told in parts built by chapters shaped by the Pillars of Islam, through voice memos, diary entries, du'as, and police reports, this is the story of a girl who the world forgot-but Allah didn't.
Because sometimes, survival and salvation wear the same face.

Ashes Between Us
She is an artist of words and strokes- calligraphy her language, silence her companion. He is a firefighter-brave in public, burdened in private. Both carry battles no one sees, hidden beneath calm exteriors. Their worlds overlap in small moments, yet their hearts keep secrets locked behind closed doors. Two souls living close, yet miles apart, each fighting their own fire within. Next door, they lived. Wall to wall. Silence to silence. Two survivors pretending the past hadn't touched them. And between them? Ashes. Smoke. And something neither of them dared name. But love, like fire, begins quietly. With sparks. With moments shared in silence. With a word spoken softly in the dark. And a glance that lingered longer than it should. This is a story of how two people met between burning walls and learned to breathe again. Of how mercy quietly wrote their fate. Of how love didn't shout - it flickered, slow and sacred, until it became light. Turn the page. Let the fire speak.
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!

YOUNG HITMAN
To the shadows that whisper secrets, to the silence that screams truths, and to the ghosts that walk among us, unseen but always present. This story is for those who have learned to navigate the labyrinth of their own making, where every turn is a gamble and every breath a carefully calculated risk. It's for the ones who have had their innocence stolen, their trust shattered, and their lives irrevocably altered by forces beyond their control. May you find a flicker of recognition in Layla's journey, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, even when that spirit has been forged in the crucible of betrayal and loss. To my mother, who taught me that the greatest strength can be found in the darkest of places, and that survival often demands a ruthlessness we never imagined we possessed. And to the memory of those we've lost, whose absence leaves an indelible mark, shaping us in ways we may never fully comprehend, yet which become the very fabric of who we are. This is for you, for the echoes you leave behind, and for the silent battles waged in the quiet corners of our lives. May this narrative serve as a somber reminder of the invisible scars we carry, the weight of unspoken words, and the enduring power of a will to survive, no matter the cost. Your stories, though often unseen, are the foundations upon which resilience is built.

Sons of the Sun (SEASON 1)
By Krystian Simms In a city built on lies, truth is a threat. When the streets of Solara start forgetting-parents losing their children's names, elders slipping into silence, memories unraveling like thread-the world blames disease. But seven chosen souls know the truth: the city's drowning in deception, and the cost is human consciousness itself. Gifted by the Sun God, armed with intrusive memories and righteous fire, witches, prophets, tarot readers, and urban mystics rise up to fight back. They're not warriors-they're truth-tellers. And in a world where too much truth can kill, every revelation comes with a price. Among them: Mercy, a vegan witch who throws the Tower card on a city she refuses to lie for. Zaire, an autistic prophet held hostage by the government for seeing destinies in birth charts. Malik, the child with fire in his veins and visions that could scorch the system. Layla, healing others while mourning the man who called her the wrong name. And the Circle-who refuse to forget, even as the world tries to erase them. But now, something worse is coming. Not erasure. Replacement. They don't just want your mind. They want to rewrite your memory, your truth-your soul. This is not dystopia. This is now. The Memory War is a raw, gritty, spellbinding journey through urban magic, spiritual warfare, neurodivergence, and the power of remembrance. For fans of Octavia Butler, N.K. Jemisin, and those who know that truth still matters-even when it burns.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
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.
