𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐰ā𝐤 𝐚𝐥-𝐑ū𝐡 -Thorns of the soul [Even Roses have thorns]

Tahira Halimah.

The soul marked as the imperfect, undesired girl by the people around her.

The girl who hates mirrors because she sees the truth of herself in it.

The girl who values allah beyond herself.

We always see the rose for it's beauty, the soft flowery fragile part,
But do we ever see the thorns, the strong broken part??

If we where to ever ask a rose about itself, it'd definitely feel insecure about having ugly thorns rather than finding itself beautiful for how it is.

Her heart was the rose, and her self: the chubby, obese, manly self was her thorn.

People turned away. Despised her for her thorns. But never stayed long enough to witness the beauty hidden inside.
The beautiful fragile rose within.

And so Tahira learned to give her heart to the only One who never turned away: her Lord.
She never stopped trusting Him,
Even when she thought she was unworthy of being dreamed of, loved and chosen.

For when Tahira least expects it, she finds that Allah has written a beautiful name beside hers.
Afnan Siddiq, a servant of His, flawed and imperfect in his own way, yet chosen. Not because he overlooks her thorns, but because Allah places in his heart the vision to see beyond them.

This is not a story of the prince charming who blindly adores her with all her flaws. No.

This is a story of healing, a heart learning to love itself as it walks closer to Allah.
And Allah writes another broken soul next to hers, so they heal each other as they walk towards him.

It's a story about patience, faith, and the quiet miracle of trust.

Not your typical love story.
If you still decide to read then i promise you won't be disappointed
