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.

The Love He Feared  by rWhSaFiA
6 parts Ongoing
Zafia just wanted a break. A month to breathe to let her soul breathe. At her software company, she was always the "cheerful one" - quick with a smile, always saying yes. But behind the bubbly act was someone tired. Tired of doing everyone else's work. Tired of staying late, pretending she wasn't drowning. She needed to disappear just for a while. When she found Soulnest, a month-long retreat for overworked professionals, it felt like a lifeline. A place to heal, to stay invisible. Then came Zafar - sharp-tongued, confident, and everything she didn't want to deal with. He was calm on the outside, but something stormed inside him. He noticed too much. He asked questions she didn't want to answer. And yet, something about her drew him in. Maybe it was her quiet courage. Or maybe, he saw a little too much of himself in her. "What happened? You keep looking at me." He said. "Uh, nothing... I mean, I wasn't-I didn't mean to... I was just... you know... writing." She said. Their story starts with small moments - awkward glances, shared silences, missed chances. And just when Zafar starts to feel something real, someone else steps in. Bilal Aslam, their mentor at Soulnest, was admired by everyone. Warm smile, perfect words, and a way of making people feel seen. Everyone trusted him. Except Zafia. She felt uneasy - like there was something hidden behind his charm. "No matter how hard you try to hide it, I can see right through your eyes." Bilal said, stepping closer. ____ Zafiya's insecurities. Zafar's temper. Bilal's hidden motives. All of it is about to collide. Will Zafiya embrace herself? Will Zafar be able to protect the fragile bond they're starting to form, or will his anger destroy it? Will silence push them apart? Will Bilal's entry make their relationship weaker? Their journey is fragile, unexpected, and tangled in truths neither of them is ready to face. But sometimes, the messiest stories are the ones that heal us. _rs

"Mum, you can't leave me... how could you?" A gasp escaped her lips. Her mother had been the only one by her side-and now she was gone too. There was nothing she could do. It was destiny, written by the Almighty Allah. Now, she was all alone. No one to support her. No one to care. No one to gently caress her soul. The one person she thought would care-Zidan Sheikh-was nowhere to be found. She was left by herself in her vast, empty mansion. Zoha Siddiqui, 22, single-one of the youngest owners of a top-ranking business. Life had left her bitter. A natural introvert, she let very few people in. Only Aunt Farah, her mother's best friend, made efforts to stay in touch-always checking in on her friend's daughter. And whenever depression gripped her heart, her mother's words would echo back, like a healing balm: "Have faith in Allah, for He is the best of planners." ⸻ On the other hand... Syed Amaan-one of the biggest names in the business world-had everything a person could wish for. Yet beneath the success, he carried a gentle, caring heart. He understood what it meant to have true faith in Allah. But then again-no one is perfect. "Amaan, I want you to marry," his mother said softly, stroking his hair. "You're a grown man now-and your deen remains incomplete. A spouse completes half your faith." This time, she wasn't joking. And he knew it. He sighed, stood up, and replied: "Go on, Mom... maybe I'm ready now." ⸻ But what happens when someone wants Zoha-not for love, not for faith-but for all the wrong reasons? "I need you for one night," he said, sending shivers through her body. She felt sickened. Disgusted. Her faithful soul recoiled at the thought. A halal couple trying to protect their pure love from haram intentions. Their journey is more than just romance-it's about faith, resilience, and destiny. Note: This story isn't just for Muslims. Everyone is heartily welcome to read and connect with the soul of Amaan and Zoha's journey.
